Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, specifically to a shower room. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, when people renovate their homes, they usually install shower rooms in the bathroom. To separate the shower room from the bathroom, a shower door is usually installed. For example, the Chinese utility model patent disclosed in patent application number CN202123399902.1 (publication number CN217390559U), entitled "A Shower Room," includes a first frame and a second frame. The first side of the first frame is fixed to the first wall at the corner, the second side of the first frame is fixed to the first side of the second frame, and the second side of the second frame is fixed to the second wall at the corner. A second fixed glass plate is provided inside the second frame, and a first fixed glass plate is provided inside the first frame near the first wall at the corner. An opening is provided inside the first frame near the second frame, and a movable glass plate is provided at the opening. The movable glass plate can be closed corresponding to the opening and can move back and forth between the first frame and the second frame.

[0003] The movable glass panel is installed on the first frame, and the shower enclosure and walls together form the shower space, according to this patent. Figure 1 The direction shown indicates that the opening is located outside the shower space and facing the opening. When a user needs to enter the shower space, the door can only open to the right. However, some users are used to opening the door to the left, or due to the layout of the bathroom, the shower room can only have a left-opening door structure. Therefore, it is necessary to design a shower room structure that is versatile and can open to both the left and right. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a shower room with good versatility, based on the current state of the existing technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a shower room, used to form a shower space with the wall, including two vertically arranged frames, each of the frames including a first frame, a second frame, a third frame and a fourth frame connected vertically from end to end in sequence, the four frames forming a hollow area, the first frame and the third frame extending horizontally, the second frame and the fourth frame extending vertically, the second frames of the two frames being connected or sharing a second frame, and the fourth frames of the two frames being used to connect to the corresponding walls respectively;

[0006] One frame is fixed with a first fixing plate that completely covers its hollow area, and another frame is fixed with a second fixing plate that partially covers its hollow area. The remaining hollow area in the other frame is located next to the second fixing plate and adjacent to the first fixing plate to form the entrance and exit of the shower room. The first frame is provided with a first sliding groove extending along its length direction, and the first sliding grooves of the two frames are connected. The third frame is provided with a second sliding groove extending along its length direction, and the second sliding grooves of the two frames are connected.

[0007] The shower room also includes a movable door that can open or close the entrance and exit, the top of the movable door is provided with a first pulley, and the bottom of the movable door is provided with a second pulley;

[0008] The feature is that the two frames can be in a first position state, the first sidewall of each frame is located above the third sidewall, the first pulley is constrained in the first slide groove and can slide along the first slide groove, and the second pulley is constrained in the second slide groove and can slide along the second slide groove.

[0009] The two frames can also be in a second position state, with the first edge of each frame located below the third edge, the first pulley constrained in the second slide groove and able to slide along the second slide groove, and the second pulley constrained in the first slide groove and able to slide along the first slide groove.

[0010] To facilitate the installation of the first pulley on the movable door, the top of the movable door is provided with a vertically extending first pivot. A first mounting component that can rotate about its axis is installed on the first pivot. The first pulley is installed on the first mounting component and can rotate about a horizontally extending axis, reducing the friction between it and the corresponding slide groove, and facilitating easy movement of the movable door.

[0011] Preferably, the first mounting component can move up and down relative to the first pivot, and the first mounting component always maintains an upward tendency under the action of the first elastic element. In this way, even with assembly errors or uneven ground, the first pulley can be installed in the corresponding groove and slide smoothly. The first elastic element plays a certain positioning role for the first mounting component, so that the first mounting component maintains a relatively balanced state under the action of its own gravity and the elastic force of the first elastic element.

[0012] In order to make the sliding door slide smoothly, at least two first pulleys are installed on the first mounting component, which are arranged side by side at intervals. This results in a large contact area between the sliding door and the corresponding slide groove, and smooth sliding.

[0013] To further ensure that the sliding door is subjected to uniform force and slides smoothly, a first pivot is provided at both ends of the top of the sliding door. Correspondingly, each first pivot is provided with a first mounting component and a corresponding first pulley.

[0014] To facilitate the installation of the second pulley on the movable door, the bottom of the movable door is provided with a vertically extending second pivot. A second mounting component that can rotate around its axis is installed on the second pivot. The second pulley is installed on the second mounting component and can rotate around a horizontally extending axis, reducing the friction between it and the corresponding slide groove, making it easier to move the movable door.

[0015] Preferably, the second mounting member can move up and down relative to the second pivot, and under the action of the second elastic member, the second mounting member always maintains an upward tendency. In this way, even with assembly errors or uneven ground, the second pulley can be installed in the second slide groove and slide smoothly. The second elastic member plays a certain positioning role for the second mounting member, so that the second mounting member maintains a relatively balanced state under the action of its own gravity and the elastic force of the second elastic member.

[0016] To ensure smooth sliding of the sliding door, at least two parallel, spaced second pulleys are installed on the second mounting component. This increases the contact area between the sliding door and the corresponding track, resulting in smooth sliding.

[0017] To further ensure that the sliding door is subjected to uniform force and slides smoothly, a second pivot is provided at both ends of the bottom of the sliding door. Correspondingly, each second pivot is provided with a second mounting component and a corresponding second pulley.

[0018] Once the two frames are installed, their positions cannot be changed. To further improve the versatility of the shower room, the fourth frame of both frames is provided with a connecting part for detachable connection to the corresponding wall. The first pulley is detachably installed in the first or second slide groove, and the second pulley is detachably installed in the first or second slide groove. In this way, even after installation, the movable door can be removed to switch between the first and second positions.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the two frames of this utility model can be in a first position or a second position. When the two frames are in the first position, the first frame of each frame is above the third frame, the first pulley slides along the first slide groove, and the second pulley slides along the second slide groove; the position outside the shower space and facing the entrance and exit is called the front, and at this time the user opens the door to the right.

[0020] The two frames can also be in a second position, with the first frame of each frame located below the third frame, the first pulley sliding along the second track, and the second pulley sliding along the first track; the position outside the shower space and facing the entrance / exit is called the front, and the user opens the door to the left at this time;

[0021] As can be seen above, rotating the two frames and their first and second fixed plates 180 degrees allows switching between the first and second positions. Once rotated to the correct position, the sliding door can be installed. Whether the two frames are in the first or second position, the sliding door can slide smoothly with them, enabling opening and closing. Therefore, this shower enclosure is highly versatile and can be adapted to the user's opening habits or the layout of the bathroom. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0033] In the description of this utility model patent, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an adhesive connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model patent based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the shower room in this preferred embodiment can be fitted with the wall 7 to form a shower space.

[0035] The shower enclosure includes two vertically arranged frames 1, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, each frame 1 is rectangular, and each frame 1 includes a first border 11, a second border 12, a third border 13, and a fourth border 14 that are connected vertically from end to end. These four borders enclose a hollow area 15. The first border 11 and the third border 13 extend horizontally, and the second border 12 and the fourth border 14 extend vertically. The second borders 12 of the two frames 1 are connected or share a second border 12. The fourth borders 14 of the two frames 1 are respectively used to connect with the corresponding walls. The first border 11 is provided with a first groove 16 extending along its length, and the first grooves 16 of the two frames 1 are connected. The third border 13 is provided with a second groove 17 extending along its length, and the second grooves 17 of the two frames 1 are connected.

[0036] One frame 1 is fixed with a first fixing plate 2 that completely covers its hollow area 15, and another frame 1 is fixed with a second fixing plate 3 that partially covers its hollow area 15. The remaining hollow area 15 in the other frame 1 is located next to the second fixing plate 3 and adjacent to the first fixing plate 2 to form the shower room entrance and exit 18. The shower room also includes a movable door 4 that can open or close the entrance and exit 18.

[0037] like Figure 3 , 7As shown, the top of the movable door 4 is provided with a first pulley 51. The first pulley 51 can slide along the first slide groove 16 or the second slide groove 17. Specifically, the top of the movable door 4 is provided with a vertically extending first pivot 41. A first mounting member 5 that can rotate around its axis is installed on the first pivot 41. The first pulley 51 is installed on the first mounting member 5 and can rotate around a horizontally extending axis. In this embodiment, both ends of the top of the movable door 4 are provided with a first pivot 41. Correspondingly, each first pivot 41 is provided with a first mounting member 5 and a corresponding first pulley 51. Each first mounting member 5 is provided with at least two first pulleys 51 arranged side by side and spaced apart. In this way, the contact area between the movable door 4 and the corresponding slide groove is large, the force is uniform, the sliding is smooth, and the first pulley 51 can rotate, resulting in low friction between it and the corresponding slide groove.

[0038] Furthermore, the first mounting component 5 can move up and down relative to the first pivot 41, and under the action of the first elastic element (not shown in the figure), the first mounting component 5 always maintains an upward tendency. In this way, even with assembly errors or uneven ground, the first pulley 51 can be installed in the first slide groove 16 and slide smoothly. The first elastic element plays a certain positioning role for the first mounting component 5, so that the first mounting component 5 maintains a relatively balanced state under the action of its own gravity and the elastic force of the first elastic element. However, the elastic force of the first elastic element must be sufficient to ensure that the first pulley 51 presses against the bottom wall surface of the corresponding slide groove.

[0039] In this embodiment, the movable door 4 is provided with a first mounting part 42 and a second mounting part 43 that are spaced apart vertically. The two ends of the first pivot 41 are respectively mounted on the first mounting part 42 and the second mounting part 43. The first elastic element is a spring, and its two ends abut against the second mounting part 43 and the first mounting part 5 respectively.

[0040] like Figure 4 , 8 As shown, the bottom of the movable door 4 is provided with a second pulley 61. The second pulley 61 can slide along the first slide groove 16 or the second slide groove 17. Specifically, the bottom of the movable door 4 is provided with a vertically extending second pivot 44. A second mounting member 6 that can rotate around its axis is installed on the second pivot 44. The second pulley 61 is installed on the second mounting member 6 and can rotate around a horizontally extending axis. In this embodiment, both ends of the bottom of the movable door 4 are provided with a second pivot 44. Correspondingly, each second pivot 44 is provided with a second mounting member 6 and a corresponding second pulley 61. Each second mounting member 6 is provided with at least two second pulleys 61 arranged side by side at intervals. In this way, the contact area between the movable door 4 and the corresponding slide groove is large, the force is uniform, the sliding is smooth, and the second pulley 61 can rotate, resulting in low friction between it and the corresponding slide groove.

[0041] The second mounting component 6 can move up and down relative to the second pivot 44, and under the action of the second elastic element 45, the second mounting component 6 always maintains an upward tendency. In this way, even with assembly errors or uneven ground, the second pulley 61 can be installed in the second slide groove 17 and slide smoothly. The second elastic element 45 plays a certain positioning role for the second mounting component 6, so that the second mounting component 6 maintains a relatively balanced state under the action of its own gravity and the elastic force of the second elastic element 45. However, the elastic force of the second elastic element 45 must be sufficient to ensure that the second pulley 61 presses against the bottom wall surface of the corresponding slide groove.

[0042] In this embodiment, the movable door 4 is provided with a third mounting part 46 and a fourth mounting part 47 that are spaced apart vertically. The two ends of the second pivot 44 are respectively mounted on the third mounting part 46 and the fourth mounting part 47. The second elastic member 45 is a spring, and its two ends abut against the fourth mounting part 47 and the second mounting member 6 respectively.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the two frames can be in the first position state, with the first frame 11 of each frame 1 located above the third frame 13, the first pulley 51 constrained in the first slide groove 16 and able to slide along the first slide groove 16, and the second pulley 61 constrained in the second slide groove 17 and able to slide along the second slide groove 17; the position located outside the shower space and facing the entrance / exit 18 is called the front, and at this time the user opens the door to the right.

[0044] like Figure 9 As shown, the two frames can also be in a second position, with the first frame 11 of each frame 1 located below the third frame 13. The first pulley 51 is constrained within the second slide groove 17 and can slide along the second slide groove 17, and the second pulley 61 is constrained within the first slide groove 16 and can slide along the first slide groove 16. The position located outside the shower space and facing the entrance / exit 18 is referred to as the front, where the user opens the door to the left.

[0045] from Figure 1 , 9 As can be seen, rotating the two frames and their first and second fixing plates 2 and 3 by 180 degrees allows switching between the first and second positions. Once rotated to the correct position, the movable door 4 can be installed. Whether the two frames are in the first or second position, the movable door 4 can slide and engage with them to open and close. Therefore, this shower enclosure is highly versatile and can be adapted to the user's opening habits or the layout of the bathroom.

[0046] Once the two frames are installed, their positions cannot be changed. To further improve the versatility of the two frames, the fourth frame 14 of both frames 1 is provided with a connecting part for detachably connecting to the corresponding wall 7. The connecting part and the wall 7 can be connected by screws. The first pulley 51 is detachably installed in the first slide groove 16 or the second slide groove 17, and the second pulley 61 is detachably installed in the first slide groove 16 or the second slide groove 17.

[0047] Even after installation, the movable door 4 can be removed to switch between the first and second positions. The size of the slide rail can be larger than the corresponding pulley size. Under normal installation conditions, the pulley will not come off the bottom wall of the slide rail. When it is necessary to remove the movable door 4, lift the movable door 4 upwards to allow the pulley to disengage from the corresponding slide rail opening; or one end of the slide rail can be open, allowing the pulley to slide out from the open end of the corresponding slide rail.

[0048] In this embodiment, the rotating angle of the movable door 4 is close to 90° to open the inlet / outlet 18, and from... Figure 1 , 9 As can be seen, the movable door 4 occupies very little shower space when opened. The first slide rail 16 and the second slide rail 17 have the same structure, and the first pulley 51 and the second pulley 61 also have the same structure, so that the first pulley 51 can slide along the first slide rail 16 or the second slide rail 17, and the second pulley 61 can slide along the first slide rail 16 or the second slide rail 17.
