Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a shower tray that can be installed in two separate parts, belonging to the field of bathroom products. Background Technology

[0002] The shower tray, located at the bottom of the shower enclosure, supports the body and drains water during showering. Existing shower trays are typically one-piece structures, with the base and the lower side panel usually injection molded as a single unit. This is the production method widely used by manufacturers. For example, Chinese patent document ZL2024203773481 discloses a carbon fiber shower enclosure base, and Chinese patent document ZL2023222806630 discloses a shower tray reinforcing rib structure. Both involve one-piece shower trays, but this structural approach has the following technical problems: Firstly, the integrated shower tray has a relatively large thickness when packaged. When the size of the lower side panel of the shower tray is large, the overall packaging volume of the product is huge, which is not conducive to warehousing and transportation. In addition, as an edge component, the lower side panel is easily damaged during transportation, which increases costs. This places higher demands on packaging.

[0003] Secondly, traditional one-piece base basins require integral molding using molds. If the base basin is large or has a complex structure, such as a high or complex lower side panel, the mold design becomes very difficult and the development cost is high. New products often require significant investment before receiving market feedback, which is very detrimental to companies developing diverse products. In addition, the processing precision requirements are also stringent in actual production. Uneven stress and poor material flow during the one-time molding process can easily lead to defects such as cracks and deformations in the product, resulting in defective products and increasing production costs.

[0004] Due to the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary to improve the existing shower trays. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a shower tray in which the lower side plate and the bottom plate are made into separate parts, thereby effectively reducing the packaging volume and reducing the difficulty of development and manufacturing.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model designs a split-installation shower tray, including a tray body and several support legs. The tray body includes a base plate and a lower side plate. The support legs are located below the base plate. The lower side plate and the base plate are separate structures, and the lower side plate is installed below the edge of the base plate.

[0007] As a preferred technical measure: The base plate is square, and the lower side plate covers at least two adjacent sides below two adjacent sides of the base plate; Alternatively, the base plate may be fan-shaped, and the lower side plate may at least cover the arc-shaped side below the arc-shaped edge of the base plate; Alternatively, the base plate may be diamond-shaped, and the lower side plate may cover at least three adjacent sides below the three outer edges of the base plate.

[0008] As a preferred technical measure: The lower side panel consists of two pieces, which are joined together in an L-shape using connectors. Or / and, the lower side panel is made of PVC material; Or / and, the top of the lower side plate has a horizontal flange.

[0009] As a preferred technical measure: The lower side plate has a hollow structure, and the connector has locking feet at both ends, which are vertically distributed. The locking feet are used to engage with the ends of adjacent lower side plates.

[0010] As a preferred technical measure: The hollow lower side plate has at least one layer of transverse partition strips; the locking feet at the end of the connector are arranged in layers and match the shape of the end of the lower side plate.

[0011] As a preferred technical measure: The back of the base plate is provided with reinforcing ribs, and the support legs are fixedly installed below the reinforcing ribs.

[0012] As a preferred technical measure: The reinforcing ribs are honeycomb-shaped, and the support legs are height-adjustable support legs that cooperate with the honeycomb-shaped reinforcing ribs.

[0013] As a preferred technical measure, it also includes several adjustable support components, each of which includes a fixing member, a support member, and an adjustment section located therebetween. The fixing member is fixedly connected to the lower side plate, and the support member is supported on a foot near the lower side plate. Alternatively, it may include several connecting rods, one end of which is fixedly connected to the lower side plate and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a support leg near the lower side plate.

[0014] As a preferred technical measure: The fastener is a sheet-like component with mounting holes, or a block-like component for bonding; The support member is a semi-enclosed clamp; or a strip-shaped member that can be embedded in the support leg; The adjusting section includes a threaded tube and a screw.

[0018] Secondly, the base plate and lower side plate in the split state can be disassembled and stacked or staggered for packaging, reducing the packaging volume. Compared with the integrated base plate, it can significantly reduce the transportation space occupation rate, effectively reduce the pressure of warehousing and transportation, and at the same time reduce the risk of collision and squeezing during logistics. Especially for edge parts such as the lower side plate, individual protection is easier to achieve, thereby reducing the loss during transportation. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] Conversely, this utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model as defined in the claims. Furthermore, to provide the public with a better understanding of this utility model, certain specific details are described in detail in the following description. However, this utility model can be fully understood by those skilled in the art even without these detailed descriptions.

[0022] Example 1 like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this embodiment describes a shower tray with separate installation, including a tray body 1 and several support legs 2. The tray body 1 includes a base plate 11 and a lower side plate 12. The support legs 2 are located below the base plate 11. The lower side plate 12 and the base plate 11 are separate structures, and the lower side plate 12 is installed below the edge of the base plate 11.

[0023] During installation, the support leg 2 can be installed under the base plate 11 first, and after leveling, the lower side plate 12 can be installed under the edge of the base plate 11.

[0024] In this embodiment, the lower side panel 12 and the base plate 11 are separated. The base plate 11 can be integrally formed by a mold. Since only the base plate 11 needs to be molded, the design cost is greatly reduced. Because the base plate structure is simpler than integral molding, the defect rate is also lower during the production process. The lower side panel 12 can be made of relatively common materials, such as PVC materials, which significantly reduces the cost of the entire product. For products of different sizes, the same type of lower side panel can be used. The length of the lower side panel 12 can be adjusted to match the size of the base plate. The length adjustment process of the lower side panel 12 can even be arranged in the end customer's home when installing the shower tray, thus making product diversification more convenient.

[0025] Currently, the mainstream shower enclosures on the market are square, fan-shaped, or diamond-shaped. In this embodiment, the base plate 11 is square to fit the square shower enclosure. The lower side plate 12 covers the two adjacent sides below the two adjacent sides of the base plate 11. The other two sides of the un-set lower side plate 12 can be set against the wall. Of course, the number of sides against the wall can be reduced according to actual needs, and the number of sides covered by the lower side plate 12 can be increased to three or four.

[0026] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, to better cover the two adjacent sides below the two adjacent sides, there are two lower side plates 12, which are spliced ​​into an L-shape by connectors 13. The lower side plates 12 can be hollow structures, which can reduce weight and cost. The connectors 13 have locking feet 16 at both ends, and the locking feet 16 at both ends are vertically distributed. The locking feet 16 are used to lock into the ends of adjacent lower side plates 12. This structure can easily splice two lower side plates 12 into an L-shape by connectors 13. In order to improve the structural strength of the lower side plates 12, there are two layers of transverse partitions 17 in the hollow of the lower side plates 12, which divide the hollow of the lower side plates 12 into three areas: upper, middle and lower. The locking feet 16 at the ends of the connectors 13 are arranged in three layers to match the shape of the ends of the lower side plates 12. Here, the transverse partitions 17 can also be three or more layers. This structure makes the installation of the lower side panel 12 more convenient. One of the lower side panels can be installed under the base plate 11 first, and then the connector 13 can be installed on the other lower side panel. Then the clip 16 of the connector 13 can be inserted into the end of the installed lower side panel. Finally, the lower side panel can be fixed by applying glue.

[0027] Furthermore, the top of the lower side plate 12 has a horizontal flange 14, which is wider. After installation, the horizontal flange 14 fits against the bottom plate 11, making the lower side plate 12 more stable. During installation, glue can also be applied to the horizontal flange 14 to make it firmly bonded to the bottom surface of the bottom plate.

[0028] To further enhance the strength of the base plate 11, a reinforcing rib 15 may be provided on the back side of the base plate 11 (the back side refers to the side of the base plate 11 facing the ground during use). The support leg 2 is fixedly positioned below the reinforcing rib 15. The reinforcing rib 15 effectively improves the structural strength of the base plate 11, making it less prone to damage. The support leg 2, supported below the reinforcing rib 15, disperses the supporting force through the reinforcing rib 15, achieving a good supporting effect. Furthermore, the structure at the reinforcing rib 15 is more robust and less prone to damage under stress. The reinforcing rib 15 can be arranged in a crisscross pattern or in a repeating structure with equilateral triangles as units, such as... Figure 2As shown, the reinforcing ribs 15 on the back of the base plate 11 can also be honeycomb-shaped; the support leg 2 is a height-adjustable support leg that cooperates with the honeycomb-shaped reinforcing ribs 15. The height-adjustable support leg can have a threaded post at the top of the support leg and a matching screw hole on the reinforcing rib 15. The support leg is installed by screwing the threaded post into the screw hole. In this embodiment, the structure of the height-adjustable support leg can also be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the support includes a top block 22, a second threaded tube 23, a second screw 24, and a base 25. The second threaded tube 23 is connected below the top block 22, and the base 25 is connected below the second screw 24. The second threaded tube 23 and the second screw 24 are threaded together. The height of the support leg can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the second screw 24 extending into the second threaded tube 23. Several groove walls 21 are provided on the top surface of the top block 22, and all groove walls 21 form a Y-shaped groove with open ends. The Y-shaped groove matches the partial shape of the honeycomb reinforcing rib 15, and the partial shape of the reinforcing rib 15 can be inserted into the Y-shaped groove, so that positioning can be easily achieved during installation. At the same time, after installation, the reinforcing rib 15 is limited by the Y-shaped groove and is not prone to misalignment. During installation, glue is applied to the Y-shaped groove, and after installation, the support leg 2 can form a more stable connection with the reinforcing rib 15.

[0029] To accommodate a fan-shaped shower enclosure, the base plate 11 can also be fan-shaped, and the lower side plate 12 at least covers the arc-shaped side below the arc edge of the base plate 11; to accommodate a diamond-shaped shower enclosure, the base plate 11 can also be diamond-shaped, and the lower side plate 12 at least covers the three adjacent sides below the three outer edges of the base plate 11, while the side without the lower side plate 12 can be set against the wall.

[0030] This embodiment describes a shower tray that separates the lower side panel from the base plate. This significantly reduces the difficulty of developing and manufacturing individual products, minimizing the situation where "a single defect leads to the scrapping of the entire product" as seen in existing technologies, and significantly improving the production yield. For products of different sizes, the length of the lower side panel can be adjusted according to the length of the base plate, thus allowing for flexible adaptation and facilitating product diversification. In addition, the base plate and lower side panel in the separate state can be stacked or packaged in a staggered manner, reducing packaging volume. Compared with an integrated shower tray, it can significantly reduce the occupancy rate of transportation space, effectively reducing the pressure on warehousing and transportation, while also reducing the risk of collisions and squeezing during logistics. Especially for edge components such as the lower side panel, individual protection is easier to achieve, thereby reducing losses during transportation.

[0031] Example 2 like Figure 7 , 8As shown in Figure 9, this embodiment describes a split-installation shower tray. Based on Embodiment 1, it further includes several adjustable support components 3. The adjustable support components 3 include a fixing member 31, a support member 32, and an adjustment section 33 located between them. The fixing member 31 is fixedly connected to the lower side plate 12, and the support member 32 is supported on a foot near the lower side plate 12.

[0032] The adjustable support component 3 can position the lower side plate during installation. During use, it can support the lower side plate to prevent deformation and displacement, and can also distribute part of the force on the lower side plate to the support feet, thereby making the support more stable.

[0033] The installation process of the split-installation shower tray described in this embodiment can be as follows: First, with the back of the base plate facing up, install the legs one by one and level them; Install the adjustable support component 3 on the lower side plate, and then place the lower side plate on the mounting position at the edge of the base plate; Adjust each adjustable support component 3 individually so that the adjustable support component 3 can be stably supported on the legs near the lower side plate 12; Remove the lower side panel and install the base plate face down in the correct position; adjust the height of the support leg 2 according to the actual situation and perform a second leveling. At this time, the installer's hand can reach under the base plate 11 from the side to operate. Install the lower side panels one by one into the lower edge of the base plate from the side. The adjustable support component 3 is supported on the support leg 2. At this time, due to the positioning of the adjustable support component 3, the lower side panel is exactly in its correct installation position. Finally, apply adhesive to secure the joints and complete the installation. The type of adhesive used can be chosen based on the specific situation; adhesive can be applied to any joint to enhance the fixation.

[0034] Obviously, the above installation method is only a preferred option. Those skilled in the art can make corresponding changes according to the actual situation when installing the shower tray described in this utility model.

[0035] Furthermore, The fastener 31 is a sheet-like part with mounting holes. The sheet-like part is fixed to the lower side plate by screws installed in the mounting holes. The fastener 31 can also be a block-like part for bonding or an L-shaped part with mounting grooves. The support member 32 is a semi-enclosed clamp. The semi-enclosed structure of the clamp facilitates installation by inserting the lower side plate into the lower edge of the base plate from the side, allowing the clamp to better support the support leg and preventing it from easily coming loose. The semi-enclosed clamp is either an arc-shaped clamp 36 or a U-shaped clamp. The support leg 2, which supports the semi-enclosed clamp, is cylindrical. This circular fit not only facilitates installation and prevents it from easily coming loose, but also allows the semi-enclosed clamp to enter and secure the support leg from all circumferential directions, making it particularly suitable for use on fan-shaped or diamond-shaped shower trays. Alternatively, the support member 32 can have a groove on the support leg 2, designed as a strip that can be embedded into the groove.

[0036] The adjusting section 33 includes a threaded tube 34 and a screw 35. The threaded tube 34 is connected to the fixing member 31, and the screw 35 is connected to the support member 32. The threaded tube 34 and the screw 35 are threaded together. The overall length of the adjustable support member 3 is adjusted by adjusting the length of the screw 35 screwed into the threaded tube 34. The adjusting section 33 may also include an inner tube and an outer tube. The inner tube is connected to the support member 32, and the outer tube is connected to the fixing member 31. The inner tube is located inside the outer tube, and the outer tube is provided with a locking screw. After the inner tube and the outer tube are adjusted to a suitable position, the locking screw is tightened to achieve positioning. The adjusting section 33 may also adopt other structures, such as providing positioning holes on both the inner and outer tubes. After adjusting the position, a pin is used to fix it in both the inner and outer positioning holes to achieve locking.

[0037] Furthermore, the fastener 31 and the threaded tube 34 are integrated, and the screw 35 and the support 32 are integrated; this facilitates installation.

[0038] Furthermore, the threaded tube 34 is provided with circumferentially distributed protrusions 37; the protrusions 37 allow the threaded tube 34 to be rotated by hand to adjust the length of the adjustment section 33.

[0039] Furthermore, the outer surface of the semi-enclosed clamp has a reinforcing strip 38 to improve the structural strength of the semi-enclosed clamp.

[0040] The shower tray with separate installation described in this embodiment is the same as in Example 1 in other aspects.

[0041] Example 3 This embodiment describes a shower tray that can be installed in two parts. Based on the first embodiment, it also includes several connecting rods. One end of each connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower side plate 12, and the other end is fixedly connected to the support leg near the lower side plate 12.

[0042] By connecting the lower side plate 12 with the support leg near the lower side plate 12 to form a whole bearing system, the stability of the support can be ensured, while ensuring that the lower side plate 12 is not easily deformed or displaced.

[0043] The shower tray with separate installation described in this embodiment is the same as in Example 1 in other aspects.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify or make equivalent substitutions to the specific implementation of this utility model. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
