Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower room door structure technology, and in particular to a waterproof structure that facilitates the installation of shower room doors. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, residents now have higher requirements for the separation of wet and dry areas in their bathrooms than before, especially regarding the waterproof performance of shower doors. They demand that even when the showerhead is turned on to its maximum flow, there should be no water seepage or leakage through the door gaps. For example, see attached... Figure 7-8 The existing waterproof structure used in shower doors, as shown, appears to have achieved a waterproof effect, but in reality, it still has the following defects: 1. This waterproof structure achieves its waterproof effect through the relative pressure between the contact surfaces of two sealing strips parallel to the edge of the door panel. However, the actual waterproof effect of this structure is greatly affected by the adjustment accuracy after the shower door is installed. If the adjustment accuracy after the shower door is installed is insufficient, gaps will appear between the two sealing strips, which will induce water seepage and leakage during the subsequent use of the shower door. 2. Shower doors with this waterproof structure require four different types of profiles for assembling the side posts on both sides of the door, increasing the variety of profiles that can be purchased. In addition, multiple screw holes need to be drilled on the profiles that require the installation of sealing strips so that tools can pass through these holes to secure the other profiles to the wall. Furthermore, multiple decorative covers are required for the multiple screw holes, which significantly increases the production cost of the product. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1: Please refer to the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 This embodiment provides a waterproof structure for easy installation of a shower room door, including a first profile strip 1, a second profile strip 2, a third profile strip 3, a movable door panel 4, a fixed door panel 5, and a waterproof mechanism 6. The first profile strip 1 has a wall-mounted edge 11 that adheres to the wall. The second profile strip 2 is joined to the first profile strip 1, and the second profile strip 2 has a universal groove 21 on the side away from the wall-mounted edge 11. The third profile strip 3 has a splicing edge 31 and an abutting edge 32. The joined first profile strip 1 and second profile strip 2 are installed in the shower room. The two sides of the door are arranged in two opposite groups. The splicing edge 31 and the edge of the fixed door panel 5 are respectively embedded in the universal groove 21 located on opposite sides. The movable door panel 4 is arranged in parallel reciprocating motion relative to the fixed door panel 5. The waterproof mechanism 6 includes a movable abutting strip 61 and a fixed abutting strip 62 located between the movable door panel 4 and the abutting edge 32. When the movable abutting strip 61 and the fixed abutting strip 62 abut against each other, a waterproof abutting surface 63 is formed. The waterproof abutting surface 63 is inclined at an angle to the edge of the movable door panel 4. The waterproof structure for easy shower door installation in this embodiment employs a cooperative structure consisting of a first profile strip 1, a second profile strip 2, a third profile strip 3, a movable door panel 4, a fixed door panel 5, and a waterproof mechanism 6. The first profile strip 1 has a wall-mounted edge 11, and the second profile strip 2 has a universal groove 21. Two sets of the first and second profile strips 1 and 2 can be prepared after assembly and installed on the left and right sides of the shower door, respectively. The universal groove 21 on one side can be used to join the edge of the fixed door panel 5, and the universal groove 21 on the other side can be used to join the edge of the third profile strip 3. The edge 31 allows the door to be constructed using only three types of profiles on both sides, simplifying the door structure and reducing material costs. More importantly, the waterproof mechanism 6 uses a combination of a movable abutment strip 61 and a fixed abutment strip 62 located between the abutment edge 32 of the movable door panel 4 and the third profile strip 3 to form an inclined waterproof abutment surface 63. Compared to the parallel abutment method, this inclined abutment method is less prone to gaps, which can relatively reduce the adjustment accuracy requirements after the door is installed and improve the overall waterproof effect of the shower door product.

[0027] Specifically, both the movable abutment strip 61 and the fixed abutment strip 62 are made of elastic material. The movable abutment strip 61 and the fixed abutment strip 62 form a waterproof abutment surface 63 through wedge engagement, which can effectively reduce the possibility of gaps occurring when the movable abutment strip 61 and the fixed abutment strip 62 abut against each other.

[0028] Furthermore, the waterproof mechanism 6 also includes a magnetic strip mounting groove 64 and a magnetic strip 65. The magnetic strip 65 is fitted into the magnetic strip mounting groove 64. The movable abutment strip 61 and the fixed abutment strip 62 are each provided with a magnetic strip mounting groove 64 on one side near the waterproof abutment surface 63. Through the magnetic attraction effect of the magnetic strip 65, the movable abutment strip 61 and the fixed abutment strip 62 are subjected to a continuous attractive force when they abut, ensuring that the tight fit between the movable abutment strip 61 and the fixed abutment strip 62 will not be accidentally released.

[0029] Furthermore, the waterproofing mechanism 6 also includes a door panel clamping strip 66. The horizontal cross-section of the door panel clamping strip 66 is arranged in a "U" shape, so that the door panel clamping strip 66 forms a clamping groove 661 along the height direction, which clamps the edge of the movable door panel 4. The side of the door panel clamping strip 66 facing away from the clamping groove 661 is connected to the movable abutment strip 61. Preferably, the door panel clamping strip 66 has a pressing flange 662 protruding on the inner wall opposite to the clamping groove 661, which can make the connection between the door panel clamping strip 66 and the movable door panel 4 more secure.

[0030] Furthermore, the horizontal cross-section of the first profile strip 1 is F-shaped, and the horizontal cross-section of the second profile strip 2 is shaped. The first profile strip 1 is also provided with a splicing edge 12 perpendicular to the wall-mounted edge 11. The second profile strip 2 is provided with a splicing groove 22 on the side away from the general groove 21 for the splicing edge 12 to be inserted and spliced. When the splicing edge 12 is spliced ​​into the splicing groove 22, an L-shaped screw mounting area 13 is formed between the wall-mounted edge 11 and the edge of the splicing groove 22. The waterproof structure of this embodiment facilitates the installation of shower doors. The first profile strip 1 and the second profile strip 2 are joined in parallel by the cooperation of the splicing edge 12 and the splicing groove 22. After splicing, a screw installation area 13 is formed between the wall-facing edge 11 of the first profile strip 1 and the edge of the splicing groove 22 of the second profile strip 2. When the third profile strip 3 is not spliced ​​to the second profile strip 2, the screw installation area 13 provides more convenient installation space for screws that pass through the wall-facing edge 11 and screws that pass through the edge of the splicing groove 22, effectively avoiding interference caused by the profile structure during screw installation. After the installer installs these two types of screws, the third profile strip 3 and the second profile strip 2 are spliced ​​and installed. The entire installation process brings a more comfortable installation experience to the installer.

[0031] Preferably, the third profile strip 3 also has an extended connecting edge 33, with the splicing edge 31 and the abutting edge 32 respectively located on both sides of the extended connecting edge 33, and the splicing edge 31 facing away from the abutting edge 32, so that the horizontal cross-section of the third profile strip 3 is arranged in a "Z" shape. The extended connecting edge 33 is located on the side of the screw mounting area 13 away from the wall edge 11, and the extended connecting edge 33 is parallel to the wall edge 11. Both the movable door panel 4 and the fixed door panel 5 are made of tempered glass and are equipped with corresponding sliding rail structures, allowing the movable door panel 4 to slide back and forth parallel to the fixed door panel 5.

[0032] Preferably, the horizontal cross-section of the splicing edge 31 is square, which is consistent with the edge shape of the fixed door panel 4, and both can be spliced ​​with the universal groove 21.

[0033] The waterproof structure facilitating shower door installation also includes wall-mounting screws 7 and profile-mounting screws 8. The wall-mounting screws 7 pass through the screw mounting area 13, connecting to the wall edge 11 and the wall. The profile-mounting screws 8 pass through the screw mounting area 13, connecting to the edge of the splicing groove 22 and the splicing edge 12. Before the splicing edge 31 of the third profile strip 3 engages with the universal groove 21 of the second profile strip 2, the tools used to tighten either the wall-mounting screws 7 or the profile-mounting screws 8 will not be interfered with by any profile structure.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
