Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower room technology, specifically a quick-install structure for shower room guide rails and side columns. Background Technology

[0002] Shower enclosures, as an important part of modern bathroom renovations, use glass and metal frames to enclose the shower area, achieving separation of wet and dry areas and improving space utilization efficiency and comfort. Currently, most shower enclosures on the market feature glass shower doors, which are mainly divided into two categories based on their opening method: sliding doors that slide along tracks and hinged doors that rotate via hinges. Sliding shower doors are widely used due to their space-saving and convenient operation.

[0003] A typical sliding shower door includes a frame structure made of metal, which usually contains at least one track located at the top or bottom of the door. The track is horizontally arranged and fixedly connected to side frames perpendicular to the ground. At least two glass panels are housed within the frame; these panels can be entirely sliding movable glass panels, or they can include a combination of partially fixed glass panels and at least one movable glass panel.

[0004] However, in existing sliding shower enclosure structures, the connection between the horizontal track and the vertical frame generally suffers from complex connections and inconvenient installation. The current mainstream connection method involves creating multiple threaded holes at pre-drilled positions on the track and vertical frame, then securing them one by one using numerous screws and bolts. This existing connection method is cumbersome, time-consuming, and inefficient. Furthermore, it demands extremely high precision in the machining of each threaded hole on the track and vertical frame. If the position of the connecting holes deviates during profile extrusion or subsequent drilling, it can easily lead to problems such as fasteners failing to screw in properly, insufficient connection strength, or frame distortion and misalignment after assembly. In severe cases, mismatched hole sizes or positions may even require the entire assembly to be returned to the factory for repair or scrapped, further increasing manufacturing costs.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a shower room door frame connection structure that is simplified, quick to install, and has a higher tolerance for processing accuracy errors, in order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The problem solved by this utility model is to overcome at least one defect in the prior art by providing a quick-install structure for shower room guide rails and side columns. The structure is simple, easy to install, and can be repeatedly disassembled and reassembled for easy maintenance or replacement.

[0007] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a quick-install structure for a shower room guide rail and side column, including a guide rail and a side column. One end of the guide rail is connected to a mounting base, and a positioning locking pin that can extend and retract along the length of the guide rail passes through the mounting base. The upper end of the side column and the side closest to the guide rail has a receiving cavity. The end of the mounting base away from the guide rail is slidably fitted into the receiving cavity. The upper end of the side column is also provided with a positioning baffle, and the positioning baffle has a positioning insertion hole. One end of the positioning locking pin is inserted into the positioning insertion hole.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the quick-installation structure of the shower room guide rail and side column of this utility model has the following advantages: In this utility model's shower enclosure guide rail and side column quick-installation structure, a receiving cavity is pre-set on the side column, and a mounting seat is connected to the end of the guide rail. The mounting seat can slide up and down within the receiving cavity, and when the mounting seat is installed in the receiving cavity, the two parts cannot move relative to each other in the left and right directions, achieving lateral limitation. In addition, a positioning baffle is provided in the inner cavity of the side column, and a positioning insertion hole is opened on the positioning baffle. When the mounting seat is installed and fitted into the receiving cavity from top to bottom, the positioning locking pin corresponds to the position of the positioning insertion hole. Moving the positioning locking pin to the left until one end of it is inserted into the positioning insertion hole achieves vertical limitation of the mounting seat and the side column. The entire installation process is quick and simple, effectively improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, in this structure, the mounting seat and the side column are positioned by positioning insertion holes, which, compared to the existing positioning through threaded holes, requires lower processing precision, is less difficult to process, and reduces costs.

[0009] Furthermore, a threaded hole with left and right communication is provided on the front side of the mounting base and at a position corresponding to the pulley groove on the inner side of the guide rail. The positioning locking pin is threaded into the threaded hole, and the left end of the positioning locking pin is provided with a positioning insert that is inserted into the positioning insertion hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting side plate on the right side of the side column is provided with a clearance groove that communicates with the accommodating cavity and has an open top. There are installation channels between the front and rear sides of the mounting base and the end of the guide rail. When the mounting base is inserted into the accommodating cavity from top to bottom, the mounting side plates on the front and rear sides of the clearance groove are respectively fitted into the installation channels.

[0011] As an improvement, a first limiting protrusion is formed on the left side wall of the mounting side plate at a position corresponding to the two sides of the clearance groove. The front and rear ends of the mounting base are provided with a first limiting groove that is vertically connected and used for sliding cooperation of the two first limiting protrusions.

[0012] In a further improvement, the positioning baffle is parallel to the mounting side plate and is integrally formed between the front and rear side plates of the side post; a second limiting protrusion is formed on the right side wall of the front end of the positioning baffle, and a second limiting groove is provided on the left side wall of the front end of the mounting base for sliding engagement with the second limiting protrusion.

[0013] In a further improvement, the top of the side column is provided with a decorative cover, and the lower end face of the decorative cover is provided with a positioning insert plate. A positioning hole is provided between the mounting base and the mounting side plate for the positioning insert plate to be inserted and fitted.

[0014] Furthermore, the right end of the mounting base is formed with a plug-in block, the end of the guide rail is provided with a plug-in hole for the plug-in block to be inserted and fitted, and a connecting post is provided in the plug-in hole. A connecting screw for connecting to the connecting post is passed through the mounting base.

[0015] Preferably, there are two connecting posts arranged vertically, and the two connecting posts are integrally formed on the side wall of the insertion hole. The side wall of the insertion block has two fitting grooves for sliding engagement of the connecting posts respectively.

[0016] Other improvements and advantages of this application will be set forth in the following detailed description and will be apparent in part from the specification or may be learned by practicing the application. The objectives and other advantages of this application may be realized and obtained through the structures particularly pointed out in the specification and drawings. Attached Figure Description
