    Description

    Technical field



    [0001] The invention relates to the field of bathroom appliances, in particular to an open-close type shower door with an automatically closing door closing system, which is mounted in a shower room.

    Background technology



    [0002] At present, when people decorate, a shower room is usually arranged in a toilet, and the shower room usually uses a shower door with a glass sheet. The shower door comprises an open-close type shower door, and is generally provided with a side frame against a wall. The side frame can be made of metal, and the side frame is connected with a fixed glass sheet to realize fixed installation of the fixed glass sheet. A vertical frame is connected to the other side of the fixed glass sheet, or another vertical frame is set against the wall. One side of the movable glass sheet is provided with a vertical rotational shaft, and the rotational shaft is generally made of metal. In order to realize the rotation of the movable door, a metal rotational shaft on the movable door is usually leaned against one side of the fixed glass sheet with the vertical frame. A fixed rotational shaft seat is arranged at an upper end and a lower end of the vertical frame. The rotational shaft seat is matched with the metal rotational shaft. The fixed door and the movable door are connected into a whole, and the movable door can rotate around the rotational shaft, so that the movable door can be opened and closed. Typically the fixed glass sheet is referred to as a fixed door and the shower door comprises at least one movable glass sheet rotatable about the fixed glass sheet. Typically the movable glass sheet is referred to as a movable door.

    [0003] An existing shower door is usually provided with an automatically closing door closing system. A common closer is provided, one end of the closer is connected with the movable door, and the other end of the closer is connected with a fixed position in the shower room, so that the movable door can be automatically closed. One end of the closer is fixedly connected with the movable door through a clamping piece, and the other end of the closer is rotatably connected with a fixed position. However, in this way, generally, the clamping piece connected with the movable door at one end of the closer is close to the rotational shaft of the movable door, and the rotating central shaft of the rotatable part at the other end is far away from the rotational shaft of the movable door, so that the movable door needs more closing force when closing the door, and a buffer with a larger size is needed to realize the function of the movable door.

    [0004] In addition, when the existing closer is used on shower doors with different shapes, different fixed pieces need to be matched, and universality is poor in different installation occasions. The existing clamping piece is usually fixed through a lock screw abutting against the glass sheet, but when the shower door is opened and closed, the lock screw is easy to slip on the glass sheet, so that the automatic closing system fails. The existing clamping piece and the main body of the closer are connected by matching the lock nut with the countersunk head screw, and when the shower door is mounted in a left-right interchange mode, the part needs to be disassembled, so that the connection of the part is easy to be loose in use.
