[0078] Next, taking an alternative embodiment of the present application as an example, the working states of the components in the shower door assembly in the opening and closing of the door are described in combination with FIG. 14 to FIG. 16:

[0079] For the convenience of description, the connecting point of the fixed seat connecting part 332 and the fixed end 321, i.e. the hinge joint of the fourth hinge hole 3324 and the fifth hinge hole 3215, is set as the hinge joint A; the connecting point of the movable end 322 and the second connecting part, i.e. the hinge joint of the sixth hinge hole 3326 and the second hinge hole 2002, is set as the hinge joint B; the connecting point of the extension part 323 and the first elastic end 341, i.e. the hinge joint of the seventh hinge hole 3237 and the ninth hinge hole 3419, is set as the hinge joint C; the connecting point of the second elastic end 342 and the third connecting part, i.e. the hinge joint of the tenth hinge hole 3420 and the third hinge hole 2003, is set as the hinge joint D; and the connecting point of the sliding device 290 and the first connecting part, i.e. the hinge joint of the eighth hinge hole 2908 and the first hinge hole 2001, is set as the hinge joint E.

[0080] In the closed state of the shower door, as shown in FIG. 14, the main body bottom plate 210 of the fixing device 200 is parallel to the guide rail 100, at this time, the C hinge joint and the D hinge joint are between the B hinge joint and the E hinge joint, the C hinge joint and the D hinge joint are respectively located on both sides of the straight line formed by the connection of the B hinge joint and the E hinge joint, and the B hinge joint, the C hinge joint and the D hinge joint are not on the same straight line. When the shower door is opened, the door plate 900 rotates towards the second direction, the included angle formed by the main body bottom plate 210 of the fixing device 200 and the guide rail 100 continuously increases, the B hinge joint moves away from the guide rail 100 in the opposite direction of the second direction, the sliding device 290 moves along the first direction, the E hinge joint moves towards the A hinge joint, at this time, the straight line distance between the B hinge joint and the E hinge joint decreases, so that the straight line distance between the C hinge joint and the D hinge joint gradually decreases, and the elastic part 340 is compressed.

[0081] Continuing to rotate the door plate 900, when the B hinge joint, the D hinge joint and the C hinge joint are in a straight line, as shown in FIG. 15, the elastic part 340 is compressed to the minimum length, at this time, the angle formed by the main body bottom plate 210 of the fixing device 200 and the guide rail 100 is the critical angle of the shower door. Continuing to rotate the door plate 900, the C hinge joint gradually deviates from the straight line formed by the connection of the B hinge joint and the D hinge joint. When the external force applied to the door plate 900 is stopped, the distance between the C hinge joint and the D hinge joint continues to increase under the elastic force of the elastic part 340, thereby driving the main body bottom plate 210 of the fixing device 200 to continue to rotate, so that the sliding device 290 continues to move along the first direction, and the E hinge joint moves towards the A hinge joint.

[0082] When the sliding device 290 moves to the end of the guide rail 100 in the first direction, as shown in Fig. 16, the door panel 900 stops rotating, and the main body bottom plate 210 of the fixing device 200 is perpendicular to the guide rail 100. At this time, the elastic component 340 is still in the compressed state, and the elastic force that extends the elastic component 340 is applied, so that the hinge point C and the hinge point D are in the trend of increasing distance, and under the action of the elastic force, the door panel 900 is limited to the maximum open position.

[0083] When the door panel 900 is closed by applying an external force, the sliding device 290 moves in the reverse direction of the first direction, so that the hinge point E is away from the hinge point A, and the distance between the hinge point C and the hinge point D gradually decreases. When the hinge point B, the hinge point D, and the hinge point C are in a straight line, the elastic component 340 is re-compressed to the minimum length, and at this time, the main body bottom plate 210 of the fixing device 200 and the guide rail 100 form the critical angle of the shower door again. Continue to rotate the door panel 900, the hinge point C gradually deviates from the straight line formed by the hinge point B and the hinge point D, and the distance between the hinge point C and the hinge point D begins to increase. At this time, stop applying external force to the door panel 900, the elastic component 340 generates an elastic force that extends it, the distance between the hinge point C and the hinge point D continues to increase, and the main body bottom plate 210 of the driving fixing device 200 continues to rotate, so that the sliding device 290 continues to move in the reverse direction of the first direction, and the shower door continues to close.

[0084] When the main body bottom plate 210 of the fixing device 200 is parallel to the guide rail 100, the door panel 900 of the shower door is in contact with the door closing block, and the door panel 900 stops rotating.
