Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bathroom equipment, in particular
to a shower door assembly.
Background Art
[0002] A shower door is typically installed against a wall with at least two sets of connecting
assemblies between the shower door and the wall, and the shower door is kept in a
vertical state after being mounted. However, since the wall surface of the shower
room is usually not completely vertical, the phenomenon that the shower door is not
in the vertical state after being mounted may occur if the shower door is completely
mounted along the wall surface, so that opening and closing of the shower door are
affected. In order to solve the problem, the distances between the upper end and the
lower end of the shower door and the wall surface are required to be adjusted during
installation so as to ensure that the shower door is in the vertical state.
[0003] To achieve this adjustment, the shower door assembly generally includes a fixed door
frame for being fixed to the wall surface, and a mobile door frame connected to a
door panel, the fixed door frame and the mobile door frame being connected by at least
two sets of connecting assemblies. During the installation, the fixed door frame is
fixed against a wall, then the mobile door frame is mounted to the fixed door frame,
the mobile door frame is adjusted to a vertical state by adjusting extension and retraction
of the connecting assembly during installation, and finally the mobile door frame
and the fixed door frame are drilled and fastened together by screws and the like.
[0004] However, on the one hand, the drilling can be completed only by cooperation of at
least two persons and takes a long time; the mobile door frame and the fixed door
frame are required to be kept relatively static by a person in the whole drilling
process, the installation difficulty is high, and secondary adjustment cannot be performed
after installation. On the other hand, due to the great instability of manual operation,
such as the mobile door frame may be moved relative to the fixed door frame during
the drilling, it not only affects the appearance of the shower door, but also may
damage the fixed door frame and the mobile door frame or even scrap the shower door.

Advantageous Effects
[0016] According to the arrangement and the structural design of the shower door assembly,
in an example of the first door panel connected with the second connecting piece,
the first connecting piece is connected with the wall surface of the shower room,
and the wall surface is connected with the first door panel via the first connecting
piece and the second connecting piece; when the extension and retraction lengths of
the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are adjusted, the cam mechanism
is firstly rotated to be not in contact with the first connecting piece, and then
the second connecting piece slides to a target position relative to the first connecting
piece, and finally, the cam mechanism is rotated to enable the cam mechanism to abut
against the first connecting piece so as to finish the fixation of the first connecting
piece and the second connecting piece; the installation and adjustment processes of
the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are simple and convenient,
which is not easy to damage the shower door assembly; the extension and retraction
positions of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece, corresponding
to the connecting positions of the first door panel, are close to or far away from
the wall surface, so that the first door panel is adjusted to a vertical state; in
addition, after the first door panel is installed, the first connecting piece and
the second connecting piece can still be released and fixed again by rotating the
cam mechanism, so that the vertical state of the first door panel can be adjusted
twice conveniently.
[0017] The cam mechanism is rotated via the operation connecting rod, so that the cam mechanism
operation is more convenient and labor-saving, and it is more favorable for operating
the cam mechanism to abut against the first connecting piece closely.
[0018] The second connecting piece is mounted in the first sliding cavity between the first
side wall and the second side wall, the first side wall and the second side wall are
respectively connected with the second connecting piece, so that on one hand, the
sliding stability of the second connecting piece relative to the first connecting
piece is favorably improved, and on the other hand, the connection strength of the
first connecting piece and the second connecting piece is favorably increased.
[0019] The arrangement of the first fastening piece further fastens the first connecting
piece and the second connecting piece, so that the connection strength of the first
connecting piece and the second connecting piece is increased.
[0020] By adjusting the mounting angle of the third connecting piece in the mounting hole,
the included angle between the first door panel and the wall surface can be conveniently
adjusted, and a user has more selection for the included angle between the first door
panel and the wall surface, so that the first door panel of the invention can be properly
mounted on various wall surfaces to increase the application range of the shower door
assembly.
[0021] After the second fastening piece is screwed down, the first concave-convex structure
and the second concave-convex structure are mutually embedded, the mounting shaft
cannot rotate in the circumferential direction in the mounting hole, and the angle
deviation of the first door panel after being installed is avoided.
[0022] When the first door panel is in a closed state, the first groove is supported on
the first protrusion; when the first door panel rotates, the first protrusion is separated
from contact with the first groove, and other parts of the second axial end face are
supported on the first protrusion, so that the first door panel and the fourth connecting
piece move in the direction far away from the third connecting piece, namely the first
door panel moves in the direction far away from the ground; in this way, it avoids
scraping of the first door panel against the ground in the rotating process, and damage
of the first door panel caused by impact with the ground; and the matching of the
second groove with the second protrusion are the same as that of the first groove
with the first protrusion, which is not described in detail herein.
[0023] Due to the arrangement of the positioning sheet, the movable door panel, the door
panel frame, the third connecting piece and the fourth connecting piece are kept fixed
in the installation process of the shower door assembly, so that when the included
angle between the movable door panel and the wall surface is adjusted, it avoids the
influence of the rotation of the third connecting piece relative to the fourth connecting
piece, and may reduce the adjustment difficulty of the included angle between the
movable door panel and the wall surface, and then the installation difficulty of the
shower door assembly; after the shower door assembly is installed, the shower door
is operated in the direction of opening the door, and the positioning sheet breaks
under the action of operating force, so that the fourth connecting piece can rotate
relative to the third connecting piece, and the movable door panel can rotate relative
to the third connecting piece.

[0044] When the shower door assembly is installed, firstly, a fixed door frame 1 is fixed
on a wall of a shower room, a first connecting piece 5 is fixed on the fixed door
frame 1; a movable door panel 4, a door panel frame 3 and a fourth connecting piece
9 are fixedly connected; a connecting shaft 902 on the fourth connecting piece 9 is
placed in a connecting hole 802 on a third connecting piece 8; and at the moment,
one end of a positioning sheet 19 is embedded in a first positioning groove 8021,
and the other end of the positioning sheet 19 is embedded in a second positioning
groove, the fourth connecting piece 9 and the third connecting piece 8 being kept
in a fixed state. Then, a mounting shaft 803 on the third connecting piece 8 is placed
in a mounting hole 601 on a second connecting piece 6, and a movable door frame 2
is fixedly connected with the second connecting piece 6. The second connecting piece
6 is moved to a position to be matched with the first connecting piece 5; and after
the movable door frame 2 is adjusted to a vertical state, the connecting rod of the
first cam mechanism 7 is operated to rotate, so that the eccentric wheel 701 of the
first cam mechanism 7 abuts against the first side wall 502 of the first connecting
piece 5; and then the first fastening screw 10 is threadably connected to a first
threaded hole 604, abutting the first fastening screw 10 against the second side wall
503. The third connecting piece 8 is operated to rotate relative to the second connecting
piece 6; and after the movable door panel 4 is in a fully closed position, the second
fastening screw 11 is operated to be threadably connected to a second threaded hole
603, so that the second fastening screw 11 abuts against the third connecting piece
8, the second connecting piece 6 and the third connecting piece 8 are fixed, and the
shower door assembly is installed.
[0045] After the shower door assembly is installed, the shower door is operated to rotate
in the direction of opening the door, and the positioning sheet 19 breaks under the
action of operating force, so that the fourth connecting piece 9 can rotate relative
to the third connecting piece 8, and the movable door panel 4 can rotate relative
to the third connecting piece 8.
[0046] Due to the arrangement of the positioning sheet 19, the movable door panel 4, the
door panel frame 3, the third connecting piece 8 and the fourth connecting piece 9
are kept fixed in the installation process of the shower door assembly, so that when
the included angle between the movable door panel 4 and the wall surface is adjusted,
it avoids the influence of the rotation of the third connecting piece 8 relative to
the fourth connecting piece 9, and may reduce the adjustment difficulty of the included
angle between the movable door panel 4 and the wall surface, and then the installation
difficulty of the shower door assembly.
[0047] Of course, after the shower door assembly is installed, the position of the movable
door panel 4 can be adjusted again by loosening the second fastening screw 11, so
as to determine or correct the position of the movable door panel 4 again; and the
second fastening screw 11 can be tightened after the movable door panel 4 is adjusted
to a target position.
[0048] Similarly, after the shower door assembly is installed, the vertical state of the
movable door frame 2 and the vertical state of the movable door panel 4 can still
be corrected by rotating the first cam mechanism 7 and loosening the first fastening
screw 10.
[0049] In the process of installing or adjusting the vertical state of the movable door
panel 4, after the movable door frame 2 is adjusted to the vertical state, the connecting
rod of the first cam mechanism 7 is operated to rotate, so that the first connecting
piece 5 and the second connecting piece 6 can be quickly fixed, the vertical adjustment
difficulty of the movable door panel 4 is favorably reduced, and the installation
difficulty of the shower door assembly is reduced; and after the first connecting
piece 5 and the second connecting piece 6 are tightly fixed by means of the first
cam mechanism 7, the first connecting piece 5 and the second connecting piece 6 are
fastened by adding the first fastening screw 10, and the connection strength of the
first connecting piece 5 and the second connecting piece 6 is further increased.
[0050] During use of the shower door assembly, when the movable door panel 4 is completely
opened, the first protrusions 8011 are matched with a group of first grooves 9011;
when the movable door panel 4 is in a closed state, the first protrusions 8011 are
in contact fit with another group of first grooves 9011; when the movable door panel
4 is in the door opening and closing process, the first protrusion 8011 is in contact
fit with the rest part of the first axial end face 801; therefore, due to the matching
of the first protrusion 8011 and the first groove 9011, the movable door panel 4 can
be kept fixed in a closed or fully opened state; in addition, due to the fact that
the first protrusion 8011 is not matched with the first groove 9011 in the door opening
and closing process of the movable door panel 4, the fourth connecting piece 9, the
door panel frame 3 and the movable door panel 4 are lifted by a certain distance in
the Z direction; and the movable door panel 4 is favorably lifted to the ground when
the door is opened and closed, friction between the movable door panel 4 and the ground
can be avoided, and the movable door panel 4 is prevented from being damaged by impact.
[0051] Preferably, the first concave-convex structure 6011 and the second threaded hole
603 are disposed on both sides of the axis of the mounting hole 601, that is, the
first concave-convex structure 6011 does not cover the 360° range of the whole circumferential
side wall of the mounting hole 601; the first concave-convex structure 6011 is arranged
on the side wall within the 180° range in the circumferential direction of the mounting
hole 601, and the second threaded hole 603 is arranged within the range where the
first concave-convex structure 6011 is not arranged, so that the included angle between
the movable door panel 4 and the wall surface is adjusted when the second fastening
screw 11 is loosened. The mounting shaft 803 is rotated close to one side of the second
threaded hole 603, so that it can prevent the mounting shaft 803 from not being rotated
due to contact between the first concave-convex structure 6011 and the second concave-convex
structure 803, ensuring smooth rotation of the mounting shaft 803 in the mounting
hole 601.
[0052] It should be noted that the first connecting piece 5, the second connecting piece
6 and the third connecting piece 8 can be matched not only for mounting and adjusting
the movable door panel 4, but also for mounting and adjusting the fixed door panel;
the first connecting piece 5 and the second connecting piece 6 can be matched for
mounting and adjusting the vertical state of the fixed door panel, and the second
connecting piece 6 and the third connecting piece 8 can be matched for adjusting the
included angle between the fixed door panel and the wall surface; therefore, the included
angle between the fixed door panel and the wall surface is not necessarily fixed to
90°.
[0053] With regard to the structural principle and connection relation of each part of the
second connecting assembly, the fifth connecting piece 14 and the sixth connecting
piece 15 matched with the second cam mechanism 18 in the second connecting assembly
is similar to the first connecting piece 5 and the second connecting piece 6 matched
with the first cam mechanism 7 in the second connecting assembly, which will not be
described further herein. The matching of the sixth connecting piece 15, the seventh
connecting piece 16 and the eighth connecting piece 17 in the second connecting assembly
is different from that of the second connecting piece 6, the third connecting piece
8 and the fourth connecting piece 9 in the first connecting assembly. The matching
of the sixth connecting piece 15, the seventh connecting piece 16 and the eighth connecting
piece 17 in the second connecting assembly can be variously selected. For example,
the seventh connecting piece 16 can have the same structure as the third connecting
piece 8 for the convenience of manufacture and moldmaking, except that the seventh
connecting piece 16 and the sixth connecting piece 15 is not fastened to each other
(referring to Fig. 7, a screw is not mounted in a threaded hole of the sixth connecting
piece 15 to fasten the seventh connecting piece 16). The seventh connecting piece
16 can be moved in the Z direction with respect to the sixth connecting piece 15;
and during the rotation of the movable door panel 4, the seventh connecting piece
16 ascends and descends along with the movable door panel 4 in the Z direction. Of
course, preferably, a concave-convex structure is not arranged in a mounting hole
(similar to a mounting hole 601 of the second connecting piece 6) of the sixth connecting
piece 15, and a concave-convex structure is not provided on a mounting shaft of the
seventh connecting piece 16 (similar to a mounting shaft 803 of the third connecting
piece 8), so that the seventh connecting piece 16 can rotate more smoothly with respect
to the sixth connecting piece 15. Alternatively, the seventh connecting piece 16 is
still fixedly connected to the sixth connecting piece 15; however, the axial end face
of the seventh connecting piece 16 is not in contact with the axial end face of the
eighth connecting piece 17, and the eighth connecting piece can be moved in the Z
direction with respect to the seventh connecting piece 16, regardless of the axial
end face shapes of the seventh connecting piece 16 and the eighth connecting piece
17.
