Description

Rotating shaft assembly for shower door and shower door containing the same Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bathroom equipment, and in particular to a rotating shaft assembly for a shower door and a shower door comprising the same. Background Art

[0002] Currently, shower rooms are increasingly used in home decoration to achieve dry and wet separation. Shower rooms are usually equipped with shower doors with glass panels. Existing shower doors include sliding doors with tracks and rotating doors with hinges.

[0003] Existing revolving doors consist of a panel, a rotating shaft, and a transition profile. The panel is typically made of glass, but can also be made of plexiglass or other materials. The rotating shaft is typically cylindrical or nearly cylindrical. The shaft is typically hinged at both ends to the transition profile, which is then fixed to the wall. The panel is connected to the rotating shaft and rotates around its central axis. However, at the construction site, errors in the verticality of the wall and the dimensions of the revolving door can lead to installation errors, such as the rotating shaft not fitting properly against the wall or a large gap between the movable and fixed panels of the shower door. To eliminate these installation errors, a wall-mounted profile is used during construction to secure the wall-mounted profile to the wall. The transition profile is then slotted onto the wall-mounted profile and screwed directly to secure the two. By adjusting the overlap between the wall-mounted profile and the transition profile, the panel's position can be adjusted, thus eliminating installation errors. Existing shower doors do not offer adjustable widths, and the inclusion of a wall-mounted profile is a compromise to address installation errors during construction.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a shower door that can eliminate installation errors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present application, its application, or uses. It should be understood that corresponding reference numerals in the drawings always indicate the same or corresponding parts and features.

[0057] Example embodiments are provided so that the present invention is fully disclosed and the scope is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. Many specific details, such as examples of specific components, devices, and methods, are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present application. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the specific details need not be adopted and that the example embodiments may be implemented in many different forms, and none of these should be construed as limiting the scope of the present application. In some example embodiments, known methods, known device structures, and known technologies are not described in detail.

In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on," "directly engaged to," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like manner (e.g., "between" versus "directly between," "adjacent to" versus "directly adjacent to," etc.). As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0059] Although the terms first, second, third etc. can be used herein to describe different elements, components, regions, layers and / or parts, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or parts should not be limited by these terms. These terms can only be used to distinguish an element, component, region, layer and / or part from another region, layer and / or part. Terms such as "first", "second" and other numerical terms do not mean order or sequence when used in this article, unless clearly indicated by context. Thus, the first element, component, region, layer or part discussed below can be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer or part, without departing from the teachings of exemplary embodiments.

[0060] The prior art structure of introducing a wall profile and a transition profile set during construction has the following defects:

[0061] (1) If the transition profile is fitted tightly to the wall profile, the surface will be scratched when the relative position between the two is adjusted and slid, affecting the corrosion resistance of the profile and the appearance of the product; if the fit is loose, there will be a gap between the two, which will cause looseness and noise when the panel is rotated;

[0062] (2) The transition profile and the wall profile are connected by sleeves, and the relative position of the two is fixed by screws. However, due to the thin wall thickness of the profile, the number of threads connecting the screws to the profile wall is very small, resulting in limited bearing capacity of the screws and easy failure, which reduces the strength of the revolving door.

[0063] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a rotating shaft assembly for a shower door and a shower door including the same. FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of the installation position of the rotating shaft assembly.

[0064] The rotating shaft assembly includes a transition assembly, a shaft assembly, a clamping device, and an adjustment assembly. The transition assembly is used to connect the shaft assembly to a wall. Generally, the transition assembly and the shaft assembly are arranged side by side, with the ends of the transition assembly hinged to the ends of the shaft assembly, allowing the shaft assembly to rotate about a rotation axis parallel to the central axis of the shaft assembly.

[0065] According to an embodiment of the present application, a groove is provided on the side of the shaft sleeve away from the transition assembly for accommodating a clamping device. The clamping device is located in the groove on the side of the shaft sleeve and is used to clamp the panel of the shower door. The rotating shaft assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes an adjustment assembly, and the length of the adjustment assembly is adjustable. One end of the adjustment assembly is connected to the circumferential shaft sleeve, and the other end is connected to the clamping device. When the length of the adjustment assembly is adjusted, the clamping device reciprocates in the groove in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the shaft sleeve, thereby driving the panel of the shower door away from or close to the shaft sleeve, realizing the adjustable width of the shower door and achieving the purpose of eliminating installation errors.

[0066] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present application provides an optional transition component, which includes a frame 10 and a base 11, and the base 11 is respectively provided at both ends of the frame 10. Optionally, the frame 10 is a strip-shaped profile. (a) and (b) in Figure 4 respectively show three-dimensional images of an optional structure of the frame 10 at different viewing angles, and (c) in Figure 4 shows a top view of an optional structure of the frame 10. As shown in (c) in Figure 1, the frame 10 includes a bottom plate 101, a side plate 102, a surrounding plate 103 and a bent plate 104.

[0067] Specifically, fixing holes 1011 are provided at positions of the bottom plate 101 near both ends. The fixing holes 1011 are used to fix the bottom plate 101 to the wall. For example, bolts are passed through the fixing holes 1011 near both ends of the bottom plate 101 to press the bottom plate 101 against the wall. Side plates 102 are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom plate 101, and the side plates 102 and the bottom plate form a semi-surrounding structure in the shape of a "C". Optionally, each side of the side plate 101 away from the bottom plate 102 is connected to a bent plate 104. The cross-sectional shape of the bent plate 104 is circular or preferably arc-shaped. Optionally, a through hole is formed in the base 11, and after a connecting piece / fastening piece passes through the base 11 and is inserted into the hole formed by the bent plate 104, the connection between the base 11 and the frame 10 can be achieved. Optionally, threads are formed at positions near the ends on the inner wall of the bent plate 104 for threadedly connecting the base 11 and the frame 10. Optionally, one side of each bent plate 104 away from the side plate 102 is connected to a surrounding plate 103. The surrounding plate 103 is used to block the gap between the shaft kit and the bottom plate 101. According to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a seal 12 can also be provided in the grooves of the bottom plate 101, the side plates 102, the surrounding plate 103, and the bent plate 104 for enhancing the sealing effect on the gap between the frame 10 and the shaft kit. The surrounding plate 103 and the seal 12 are used to prevent dust and water from entering the gap between the shaft kit and the frame 10. Optionally, the width of the surrounding plate 103 is greater than the width of the side plate 102.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present application, A and B in FIG. 5 respectively show perspective views of the base 11 from different perspectives, and the base 11 is plate-shaped. The thickness direction of the base 11 is parallel to the extension direction of the frame 11. The shaft kit is installed between the bases 11 at both ends of the frame. A first hinge member 111 is provided on one surface of the base 11 facing the midpoint of the frame 10 for hinging the shaft kit. At least one through hole 113 is provided at the position where the base 11 is connected to the frame 10, and through holes 113 are formed on the surface 112 opposite thereto for passing through fasteners. Exemplarily, it should be understood that the connection between the frame 10 and the base 11 can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection.

[0069] In some optional embodiments, as shown in Figures 2, 3, and 6, embodiments of the present application provide a shaft assembly comprising a rotating shaft 20 and end caps 30 disposed at both ends of the rotating shaft 20. The left image in Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the rotating shaft 20, while the right image in Figure 6 shows a top view of the rotating shaft 20. As shown in Figures 3 and 6, the rotating shaft 20 is a columnar structure, and a slide groove 201 is provided on the side of the rotating shaft 20 facing away from the frame 10. Optionally, a connection hole 204 is provided on the outer wall of the slide groove 201 at one end near the slide groove bottom 203. The contour of the connection hole 204 can be circular or arc-shaped. Optionally, the first sidewall 205 and the second sidewall 206 of the slide groove 201 extend beyond the ends of the housing 202; a first stop bar 208 and a second stop bar 209 are formed at the ends of the first sidewall 205 and the second sidewall 206, respectively. A limit protrusion 207 is formed on the inner wall of the first sidewall 205, toward the slide groove bottom 203.

[0070] Optionally, the rotating shaft 20 further includes a housing 202 , and the chute bottom 203 of the chute 201 is surrounded by the housing 202 . In a direction perpendicular to the rotating shaft, the cross-sectional profile of the housing 202 is a major arc, and the endpoint of the major arc is connected to the outer wall of the chute 201 .

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 7 and 8 , the profile of the end cap 30 conforms to that of the rotating shaft 20, and the end of the end cap 30 proximal to the rotating shaft 20 is sleeved onto the end of the rotating shaft 20. The end of the end cap 30 facing the rotating shaft 20 is also provided with a receiving slot 305; the receiving slot 305 is used to accommodate the adjustment assembly. As shown in Figure 7 , the end cap 30 includes a snap-fit ​​section 302 and a limiting section 303. As shown in Figures 2 and 3 , the snap-fit ​​section 302 is configured to snap-fit ​​with the end of the rotating shaft 20. The limiting section 303 has a different diameter than the snap-fit ​​section 302, forming a step. When the snap-fit ​​section 302 is engaged with the rotating shaft 20, the stepped surface overlaps the end surface of the rotating shaft 20, preventing the end cap 300 from moving toward the center of the rotating shaft 20. For example, the outer diameter of the snap-fit ​​section 302 is equal to the inner diameter of the housing 202, while the outer diameter of the limiting section 303 is larger than the outer diameter of the snap-fit ​​section 302. As another example, the inner diameter of the engaging section 302 is equal to the outer diameter of the housing 202, and the inner diameter of the limiting section 303 is smaller than the outer diameter of the housing 202. It should be understood that the groove body of the accommodating groove 305 protrudes from the surface of the limiting section 303.

[0072] Furthermore, a positioning groove 306 is formed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 305 on the side corresponding to the slide bottom 203 of the rotating shaft 20, which is used to fix the adjustment component. Furthermore, a first avoidance groove 304 is also provided on the side corresponding to the limiting section 303 and the slide bottom 203, and a second avoidance groove 310 is formed on the bottom of the side of the receiving groove 305 corresponding to the opening side of the slide 202. The first avoidance groove 304 and the second avoidance groove 310 are intended to facilitate the entry of the adjustment tool into the end cover 30 to adjust the length of the adjustment component. Optionally, the side wall of the receiving groove 305 can extend beyond the interface between the limiting section 303 and the engaging section 302. When the engaging section 302 is engaged with the rotating shaft 20, the receiving groove 305 engages with the side wall of the slide 201 to prevent the end cover 30 from rotating around the central axis of the housing 202.

[0073] Optionally, as shown in Figure 7, the first contact surface 307 of the end cover 30 away from the rotating shaft 20 is a plane, and a second hinge 301 is formed on the plane. The second hinge 301 is hinged to the first hinge 111 to realize the rotation of the rotating shaft 20. It should be noted that either the second hinge 301 or the first hinge 111 can be a pin, and the other can be a hole. It can be understood that the pin can be rigid or elastic. At least one positioning hole 308 is formed on the first contact surface 307, and the position of the positioning hole 308 corresponds to the connecting hole 204, which is used to connect the end cover 30 to the rotating shaft 20 through a connector or fastener (such as a clip, pin or screw).

[0074] In yet other optional embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , a second contact portion 309 is formed on the surface of the first contact surface 307. Correspondingly, a first contact portion 114 is formed on the side of the base 11 facing the center of the frame 10. The first contact portion 114 and the second contact portion 309 form a concave-convex fit, enabling angular positioning and obstacle avoidance during the rotation of the shaft 20. Optionally, the surface contours of the first contact portion 114 and the second contact portion 309 include guiding surfaces.

[0075] According to an embodiment of the present application, the clamping device includes at least one clamp 40. As shown in Figures 3 and 9, in some exemplary embodiments, the clamp 40 is a rod-shaped profile having a clamping groove 401 extending through both ends. A first limiting strip 405 and a second limiting strip 406 are provided on each inner wall of the clamping groove 401, extending from the bottom 402 of the clamping groove to the groove opening. A through-hole 404 is also provided at the bottom 402 of the clamping groove near the end of the clamp. One end of the adjustment assembly is inserted into the clamping groove 401, and the main body of the adjustment assembly passes through the through-hole 404. The first limiting strip 401 and the second limiting strip 406 are used to limit the end of the adjustment assembly so that when the length of the adjustment assembly is adjusted, the clamp 400 moves axially along the main body of the adjustment assembly as the end of the adjustment assembly moves. It is readily understood that the clamping device can also comprise two independent clamps 40, each clamped at two identical corners of the shower door panel.

[0076] According to the embodiment of the present application, the adjustment component is a structure with adjustable length in a broad sense, and can be an integrated non-detachable structure, such as a segmented telescopic structure similar to an antenna or a telescopic rack structure and its deformation structure. The adjustment component can also be a split detachable structure, such as a worm slider structure, a guide rail slider structure, or a screw slider structure and similar structures; although the total length of such structures and their deformations remains unchanged, the distance between the slider and the end of the guide rail or rod is adjustable, which is interpreted as a length-adjustable structure in the present application. Optionally, the adjustment component includes a first adjustment member 50 and a second adjustment member 60. Preferably, the adjustment component has a locking mechanism.

[0077] For example, the first adjusting member 50 is block-shaped, and the main body of the first adjusting member 50 is provided with a threaded hole 502. Accordingly, the second adjusting member 60 is a worm or screw, and the first adjusting member 50 and the second adjusting member 60 form a worm-slider or screw-slider coupling. For another example, either the first adjusting member 50 or the second adjusting member 60 has a dovetail or fishbone structure, and the other of the first adjusting member 50 and the second adjusting member 60 is provided with a dovetail or fishbone groove.

[0078] Referring to Figure 10, an embodiment of the present application provides an optional first adjusting member 50. The first adjusting member 50 is in the shape of a square block. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the embedded end 501 of the first adjusting member 50 is embedded in the slide groove 401. Positioning grooves 503 are provided on both sides of the embedded end 501. When the embedded end 501 is embedded in the clamping groove 401, the first limiting strip 405 on the inner wall of the clamping groove 401 enters the positioning groove 503, forming a concave-convex fit with the positioning groove 503, so that the clamp 40 moves with the movement of the first adjusting member 50. As shown in Figure 10, a baffle 504 is formed on the side surface of the first adjusting member 50 away from the embedded end 501, and the baffle 504 is used to prevent the first adjusting member from moving toward the center of the clamping groove. Optionally, the second adjusting member 60 is a screw.

[0079] As shown in Figure 2, when the end cap 30 is engaged with the end of the rotating shaft 20, the second adjusting member 60 passes through the second avoidance groove 310, the through hole 404, and the threaded hole 502 in sequence. One end of the second adjusting member 60 is defined by the positioning groove 306, and the other end points in a direction away from the bottom of the slide groove 203. The embedded end 501 of the first adjusting member 50 is embedded in the clamping groove 401, and one end of the clamp 40 is located in the receiving groove 305, so that the first adjusting member 50 can reciprocate in the receiving groove 305. Figure 2 shows an example in which the first hinge 111 is a hole and the second hinge 301 is a pin.

[0080] In an optional embodiment, the first adjusting member 50 is a screw and the second adjusting member 60 is a slider. Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the installation process of the rotating shaft assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows. The frame 10 is fixed against the wall, and the two bases 11 are arranged at both ends of the frame 10 relative to each other. The panel 70 is inserted into the clamping groove 401 of the clamp 40, and then the two first adjusting members 50 are respectively embedded in the two ends of the clamping groove 401, and the threaded hole 502 and the through hole 404 are aligned, and then the second adjusting member 60 is screwed into the threaded hole 202 through the through hole 404. After adjusting the position of the first adjusting member 50 and the second adjusting member 60 according to the size required for on-site installation, the clamp 40 is inserted into the slide groove 201 of the rotating shaft 20 so that the end of the second adjusting member 60 away from the first adjusting member 50 overlaps with the bottom 203 of the slide groove.
