Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a shower tray and its support legs, belonging to the field of bathroom products. Background Technology

[0002] The shower tray is located at the bottom of the shower enclosure, providing stable support for the body during showering and draining wastewater. A shower tray typically consists of the tray body and legs. To enhance the tray body's resistance to deformation and structural strength, reinforcing ribs are commonly added to the back of the tray body in the industry.

[0003] Currently available shower tray technologies in the industry still have significant shortcomings in structural design and practical application, which can be further clarified through the analysis of the following two Chinese patent solutions: For example, the honeycomb-shaped shower basin base disclosed in Chinese Patent ZL2011200337799 has the core design concept of setting honeycomb-shaped reinforcing ribs on the back of the basin body to improve the overall rigidity of the basin body by utilizing the mechanical properties of the honeycomb structure. In addition, the shower basin base also includes an outer frame with several holes for installing pads (i.e., support feet) on the outer frame. The outer frame is distributed around the honeycomb-shaped reinforcing ribs, and the support feet are not evenly distributed on the reinforcing ribs. This means that the support force of the entire basin body for the human body comes almost entirely from the frame, resulting in limited support force at the bottom plate. The shower basin is prone to collapse, affecting its service life. At the same time, the added outer frame also makes the structure of the bath basin base more complex and increases the cost.

[0004] Chinese patent ZL2015210547679 discloses another shower tray and support feet. This design uses self-tapping screws to directly fasten the support feet to the tray body, but does not provide any reinforcing ribs on the back of the tray body. To meet the support strength requirements, prevent cracking at the self-tapping screw installation points, and ensure stable fixing of the self-tapping screws, the shower tray base plate in this design clearly needs to have a large thickness. This directly leads to two problems: firstly, the overall structure is bulky, increasing the difficulty of molding during production and causing inconvenience in transportation and installation; secondly, the amount of material used for the base plate increases significantly, substantially raising the raw material and manufacturing costs of the product, which is detrimental to market promotion. Because existing shower trays have drawbacks such as uneven support leading to collapse, complex structure and high cost, and heavy base plate making them inconvenient to promote, it is necessary to make improvements.

[0016] Compared with existing technical solutions, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model designs a shower tray with reinforcing ribs on the back of the tray body. The legs are directly supported below these ribs, forming a collaborative support structure. This structure enhances the tray's resistance to deformation and structural strength by leveraging the inherent properties of the reinforcing ribs. Furthermore, the ribs effectively distribute external forces such as those exerted by footsteps, providing uniform support to the tray's base and preventing localized deformation. This allows for a relatively thinner base, reducing overall weight, transportation and installation burdens, and minimizing raw material usage to control costs. On the other hand, a limiting structure that matches the shape of the leg's top surface with the reinforcing rib precisely constrains the assembly position of the legs and ribs. During installation, this limiting structure allows for quick alignment and fixation of the legs and ribs, reducing installation difficulty and errors, making installation more convenient, significantly lowering installation difficulty and error, and improving assembly efficiency and quality. In actual use, it prevents relative sliding and misalignment between the legs and ribs, ensuring the legs remain at preset support points to maintain the tray's structural stability and ensure optimal performance. The shower tray designed in this utility model can significantly improve the overall load-bearing capacity and reliability of the tray, and effectively extend its overall service life.

[0017] The shower tray support designed in this utility model features a limiting structure whose top surface matches the local shape of the reinforcing rib. This structure precisely constrains the assembly position of the support and the reinforcing rib. During installation, the limiting structure allows for quick alignment and fixation of the support and the reinforcing rib, reducing installation difficulty and errors, making installation more convenient, significantly lowering installation difficulty and errors, and improving assembly efficiency and quality. In actual use, it prevents relative sliding and misalignment between the support and the reinforcing rib, ensuring that the support is always in the preset support position to maintain the stability of the tray structure and ensure the best performance.

[0021] 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.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1 like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment describes a shower tray, including a tray body 1 and several support legs 2. The back of the tray body 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs 4, and the support legs 2 are supported below the reinforcing ribs 4. The top surface of the support legs 2 is provided with a limiting structure 5 for limiting the reinforcing ribs 4, and the limiting structure 5 is matched with the local shape of the reinforcing ribs 4.

[0024] Furthermore, the limiting structure 5 can be a plurality of groove walls 51 protruding from the top surface of the support leg 2, with grooves having end openings formed between all the groove walls 51. The shape of the groove matches the local shape of the reinforcing rib 4; the end opening of the groove can ensure that the extension of the reinforcing rib is not blocked when the reinforcing rib is inserted into the groove.

[0025] Among them, the reinforcing rib 4 can be honeycomb-shaped, and its local shape can be a node and three connecting edges (such as...). Figure 4 As shown); the groove is Y-shaped, which fits the local shape perfectly, and the reinforcing rib 4 can be inserted into the groove; the local shape of the honeycomb reinforcing rib 4 can also be other local units, such as a regular hexagonal local unit with a connecting edge at each vertex, the shape of the groove should also fit the structure, and the opening at the end should also ensure that it does not obstruct the extension of the reinforcing rib. The reinforcing rib 4 can also be in a crisscross shape, with a local cross shape, and the groove is also in a matching cross shape; obviously, the reinforcing rib 4 can also be other shapes, such as a shape that extends in four directions with an equilateral triangle as a local unit, and those skilled in the art can also make the groove into a corresponding structure. An adhesive layer can also be provided inside the groove to bond the support and the reinforcing rib, forming a more secure fixed connection.

[0026] Alternatively, the limiting structure 5 can also be a groove recessed into the top surface of the support leg 2 with an open end; the shape of the groove can also be Y-shaped, cross-shaped or other suitable shapes; The limiting structure 5 can also be a number of locking posts protruding from the top surface of the support leg 2. The distribution of the locking posts matches the local shape of the reinforcing rib 4. For example, the reinforcing rib 4 is honeycomb-shaped, and its local shape is a node and three connecting edges. After the support leg is installed, the locking posts can be distributed on both sides of the three connecting edges to limit its movement.

[0027] The limiting structure 5 can also be a protrusion on the top surface of the support leg 2. The shape of the protrusion matches the shape of the local fitting part of the reinforcing rib 4 and can be embedded in the fitting part to limit the reinforcing rib 4. For example, the reinforcing rib 4 is honeycomb-shaped and the protrusion is hexagonal, or the reinforcing rib 4 is crisscrossed and the protrusion is square. Furthermore, in order to improve the cushioning and anti-slip effect, the bottom surface of the support leg 2 may have a rubber pad 21.

[0028] In this embodiment, the support leg 2 can be of a fixed height, which can be leveled by placing a shim under the support leg 2; however, it is preferable to make the support leg 2 with a height adjustment function, which may include a top block 22 for setting the limiting structure 5 and a support structure 23 located below the top block 22 for height adjustment. The height can be adjusted during installation by relying on the support structure 23, so that each support leg can be effectively supported.

[0029] The height can be adjusted by relative rotation, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the support structure 23 includes a first threaded tube 24, a first screw 25, and a base 26. The first threaded tube 24 is connected below the top block 22, and the base 26 is connected below the first screw 25. The first threaded tube 24 and the first screw 25 are threaded together. The overall height of the support structure 23 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the first screw 25 screwed into the first threaded tube 24. The lower part of the first screw 25 can be a cylindrical section 27, and the side of the cylindrical section 27 is provided with circumferentially distributed protrusions 28. The protrusions 28 facilitate manual rotation of the first screw 25 by the user. The first screw 25 can also be provided with a scale 29, making height adjustment more intuitive and convenient. The first threaded tube 24 and the top block 22 can be integrated, and the first screw 25 and the base 26 can also be integrated, or they can be two independent parts assembled together. The first threaded tube 24 can also be provided with an upper limit ring 210 and a lower limit ring 211.

[0030] Obviously, the height-adjustable support structure 23 can also be other structures. For example, the support structure 23 includes an inner tube, an outer tube, and a support base. The top end of the inner tube is connected to the bottom of the top block 22, and the support base is provided at the bottom end of the outer tube. The outer tube is sleeved outside the inner tube, and the side walls of the inner tube and the outer tube are provided with multiple positioning holes, and positioning pins are provided in the positioning holes. The height can be adjusted by the relative movement of the inner tube and the outer tube. After the adjustment is completed, the positioning pins can be used to lock and achieve stable support. For example, the support structure 23 includes an upper support and a lower support. The upper support is connected below the top block 22. The bottom surface of the upper support is an inclined surface, and the top surface of the lower support is a fitted inclined surface that fits against the inclined surface. The lower support has several adjustment holes along the length of the inclined surface, and the upper support has elastically retractable positioning posts. By sliding the upper and lower support relatively, the positioning posts can be engaged with different adjustment holes to adjust the support height. The support structure 23 can also employ other height adjustment structures.

[0031] This embodiment describes a shower tray that enhances the deformation resistance and structural strength of the tray body 1 by leveraging the inherent characteristics of the reinforcing ribs 4. The reinforcing ribs 4 also effectively distribute external forces such as those exerted by footsteps, providing even support to the tray base and preventing localized deformation. This allows for a relatively thinner base, reducing overall weight, transportation and installation burdens, and minimizing raw material usage to control costs. Furthermore, the limiting structure, which matches the top surface of the support leg 2 with the local shape of the reinforcing rib 4, allows for quick alignment and fixation of the support leg 2 and reinforcing rib 4 during installation. This reduces installation difficulty and errors, making installation more convenient and significantly improving assembly efficiency and quality. In actual use, it prevents relative sliding and misalignment between the support leg and reinforcing rib, ensuring the support leg remains at the preset support point to maintain the stability of the tray structure and ensure optimal performance.

[0032] Example 2 like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment describes a shower tray, which, based on Embodiment 1, also has the following features: To reduce packaging volume and lower development and manufacturing difficulty, the base body 1 includes a base plate 11 and a lower side plate 12, and the reinforcing rib 4 is provided on the back of 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. Traditional technology involves molding the entire shower tray body 1 using a mold. This method is complex, costly, and requires high precision in the manufacturing process. A single defect can lead to the scrapping of the entire product, thus indirectly increasing costs for businesses. This embodiment describes a shower tray where the shower tray body 1 is divided into two independent components: a base plate 11 and a lower side plate 12. The base plate can be molded, while the lower side plate 12 can be made from relatively common materials. This significantly reduces the overall cost of the product. The base plate and lower side plate can be disassembled, stacked, or packaged in a staggered manner, reducing packaging volume. For products of different sizes, the same type of lower side plate can be used, and the length of the lower side plate 12 can be adjusted to match the size of the base plate, making the product more versatile. Furthermore, the mainstream shower enclosures on the market are currently 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 unset 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.

[0033] like Figure 8 , 9As shown in Figure 10, in order to better cover the two adjacent sides below the two adjacent sides, there are two lower side panels 12, which are spliced ​​into an L-shape by connectors 13. The lower side panels 12 are hollow structures with two layers of horizontal partitions 16 inside to improve structural strength. The horizontal partitions can also be three or four layers, and their material can be PVC. The connectors 13 have locking feet 14 at both ends. The locking feet 14 are used to lock into the hollow structure of the adjacent lower side panels 12. The locking feet 14 at both ends of the connectors 13 are vertically distributed. This setting is more convenient for installation. Precise positioning can be achieved by locking the lower side panels 12 from both ends. Glue can be applied to the locking feet 14 to make the connection with the lower side panels 12 more secure. The vertical distribution of the locking feet 14 at both ends of the connectors 13 can realize the L-shaped distribution of the two lower side panels 12. In addition, the lower side panels 12 can not be hollow structures, but can be modified to have grooves at the ends of the lower side panels 12; they can also cooperate with the connectors 13. Furthermore, the two lower side panels 12 can be connected directly without the aid of the connector 13, such as by gluing the ends of the two lower side panels 12 together or by connecting them with screws.

[0034] To accommodate a fan-shaped shower enclosure, the base plate 11 can be fan-shaped, and the lower side plate 12 can at least cover 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 be diamond-shaped, and the lower side plate 12 can at least cover 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.

[0035] Furthermore, the top of the lower side plate 12 has a flange 15; the structure of the horizontal flange 15 is wider, and after installation, the horizontal flange 15 is attached to the bottom of the base plate 11, thereby making the lower side plate 12 more stable. During the installation process, glue can also be applied to the horizontal flange 15 so that it is finally firmly bonded to the bottom surface of the base plate. Furthermore, a transverse support 3 is provided between the lower side plate 12 and the support leg 2 near the lower side plate 12. The transverse support 3 includes a fixing part 31, a supporting part 32, and an adjusting section 33 located between them. The fixing part 31 is fixedly connected to the lower side plate 12, and the supporting part 32 is supported on the support leg 2 near the lower side plate 12. During installation, the transverse support 3 can position the lower side plate. During use, it can both support the lower side plate to prevent deformation and displacement, and distribute part of the force on the lower side plate to the support leg, thereby making the support more stable. Furthermore, such as Figure 11As shown, the fixing part 31 is a sheet-like component with a through hole, the supporting part 32 is an arc-shaped clamp or a U-shaped clamp, and the adjusting section 33 includes a second threaded tube 34 and a second screw 35. The second threaded tube 34 is connected to the fixing part 31, and the second screw 35 is connected to the supporting part 32. The second threaded tube 34 and the second screw 35 are threaded together. By adjusting the length of the second screw 35 extending into the second threaded tube 34, the overall length of the transverse support 3 is adjusted, so that one end of the transverse support 3 is fixed to the lower side plate 12 through the fixing part 31, and the other end is supported on the support leg 2 through the supporting part 32, thereby achieving a good supporting effect.

[0036] The structure of the adjusting section 33 is not limited to the threaded adjustment method described above. Alternatively, the adjusting section 33 can include an inner tube and an outer tube, with the inner tube connected to the support part 32 and the outer tube connected to the fixing part 31. The inner tube is located inside the outer tube, and a locking screw is provided on the outer tube. The inner tube is movable within the outer tube and is locked with the locking screw after adjustment to a suitable length. The adjusting section 33 can also employ other structures, such as providing positioning holes on both the inner and outer tubes. After adjustment, a pin is used to simultaneously fix it in the inner and outer positioning holes to achieve locking.

[0037] The installation method of the shower tray described in this embodiment can be: Step 1: First, with the back of the base plate 11 facing up, install the support legs 2 one by one, install the limiting structure of the support legs 2 at the corresponding local fitting position of the reinforcing rib, and level it with a spirit level. Step 2: Install the transverse support 3 on the lower side plate, and then place the lower side plate on the installation position at the edge of the base plate; Step 3: Adjust each of the transverse support members 3 so that the transverse support members 3 can be stably supported on the legs near the lower side plate 12. Step 4: Remove the lower side plate 12 and install the base plate 11 with the back side facing down in the correct position; adjust the height of the support leg 2 according to the actual situation and perform secondary leveling. At this time, the installer's hand can reach under the base plate 11 from the side to operate. Step 5: Install the lower side plate 12 piece by piece into the lower edge of the base plate 11 from the side. The horizontal support 3 is supported on the support leg 2. At this time, due to the positioning of the horizontal support 3, the lower side plate 12 is exactly in its correct installation position. Step six: 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 joints to enhance the fixation.

[0038] When using connectors to join two lower side panels into an L-shape, the installation methods can include: In step two, the two lower side plates 12 are connected into an L-shape using connectors and placed at the installation position on the edge of the base plate; In step four, when removing the lower side plate 12, the connector is attached to one of the lower side plates; When installing the lower side plate in step five, first insert the lower side plate without the connector into the lower edge of the base plate 11 from the side, so that the horizontal support 3 on it is supported on the support leg 2; then insert the lower side plate 12 with the connector into the lower edge of the base plate 11 from the other side, and make the clip of the connector snap into the end of the lower side plate 12 that has been installed.

[0039] 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.

[0040] Example 3 like Figure 5 , 12 As shown in Figure 13, this embodiment describes a shower tray support 2, including a top block 22 and a support structure 23 located below the top block 22 for height adjustment; the top surface of the top block 22 is provided with a limiting structure 5 that matches the local shape of the reinforcing rib 4 on the back of the shower tray.

[0041] Furthermore, the limiting structure 5 is a plurality of groove walls 51 protruding from the top surface of the support leg 2, and all groove walls 51 form a groove with an end opening; the limiting structure 5 can also be a groove recessed into the top surface of the support leg 2 with an end opening; the shape of the groove matches the local shape of the reinforcing rib 4; the groove can be a Y-shape matching the local shape of the honeycomb reinforcing rib 4, or a cross shape matching the local shape of the crisscrossing reinforcing rib 4; The limiting structure 5 can also be a number of locking posts protruding from the top surface of the support leg 2, the distribution of which matches the local shape of the reinforcing rib 4. The limiting structure 5 can also be a protrusion on the top surface of the support leg 2. The shape of the protrusion matches the shape of the local fitting part of the reinforcing rib 4, and can be embedded in the fitting part to limit the reinforcing rib 4. For example, the protrusion is square or regular hexagonal; Furthermore, the support structure 23 includes a first threaded tube 24, a first screw 25, and a base 26. The first threaded tube 24 is connected below the top block 22, and the base 26 is connected below the first screw 25. The first threaded tube 24 and the first screw 25 are threaded together. The height of the support structure 23 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the first screw 25 screwed into the first threaded tube 24.

[0042] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the support structure 23 may be provided with a rubber pad 21, thereby improving the cushioning effect of the entire support leg.

[0043] Furthermore, to make the adjustment of the support height more intuitive, the first screw 25 may be provided with a scale 29.

[0044] Furthermore, in order to improve the support effect of the top block 22, a reinforcing rib plate 212 distributed in a circular pattern can be provided between the first threaded tube 24 and the top block 22; especially when the top block 22 is designed to be thin, the reinforcing rib plate 212 can effectively ensure the support capacity of the top block 22.

[0045] Furthermore, to facilitate the operator's hand in rotating the first screw 25, the lower part of the first screw 25 is a cylindrical section 27, and the side of the cylindrical section 27 is provided with circumferentially distributed protrusions 28. The protrusions 28 can increase the friction between the screw and the user's hand.

[0046] Furthermore, to make the structure simpler, the first threaded tube 24 and the top block 22 are integrated, and the first screw 25 and the base 26 are integrated.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to cooperate with the setting of the transverse support, the first threaded pipe 24 is provided with an upper limit ring 210 and a lower limit ring 211; the arc-shaped clamp of the transverse support can be set between the upper limit ring 210 and the lower limit ring 211 to enable the arc-shaped clamp to be positioned, thereby ensuring the support effect of the transverse support.

[0048] The shower tray support legs described in this embodiment have a top limiting structure that precisely constrains the assembly position of the support legs 2 and the reinforcing ribs 4. During installation, the limiting structure 5 can quickly align and fix the support legs 2 and the reinforcing ribs 4, reducing the difficulty of installation, minimizing installation errors, and making installation more convenient. This significantly reduces the difficulty and error of installation operations, and improves assembly efficiency and quality. In actual use, it can prevent the support legs 2 and the reinforcing ribs 4 from sliding or misaligning, ensuring that the support legs are always in the preset support position to maintain the stability of the tray structure and ensure the performance.
