Detailed Description

[0019] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present disclosure and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily if there is no conflict.

[0020] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure can also be implemented in other ways different from those described here. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 14, a handle assembly provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a handle, having one end provided with a first bending portion 11 and the other end provided with a second bending portion 12, an end portion of the first bending portion 11 being provided with a first clamping portion 111, and an end portion of the second bending portion 12 being provided with a second clamping portion 121; a first positioning member 2 configured to be fixed on an installation member 5, an end portion of the first positioning member being provided with a first clamping mating portion 21; and a second positioning member 3 configured to be fixed on the installation member 5, an end portion of the second positioning member being provided with a second clamping mating portion 31. The first positioning member 2 extends into the first bending portion 11 and/or the second positioning member 3 extends into the second bending portion 12, and the first clamping portion 111 is clamped on the first clamping mating portion 21 and the second clamping portion 121 is clamped on the second clamping mating portion 31, so as to realize fixing of the handle.

[0022] According to the handle assembly, the first positioning member 2 and the second positioning member 3 are pre-installed on the installation member 5 in advance (e.g., before leaving the factory), and during field installation, the handle is held and moved by a hand so that the first positioning member 2 extends into the first bending portion 11 and/or the second positioning member 3 extends into the second bending portion 12, and after extending into place, the first clamping portion 111 is exactly clamped on the first clamping mating portion 21 and the second clamping portion 121 is exactly clamped on the second clamping mating portion 31, thereby fixing the handle to the installation member 5. The on-site installation is simple and convenient, and will not damage a door, thus achieving better practicability.

[0023] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the handle may be a separated member. As shown in FIG. 1, for example, the handle includes: a handle body 1 on which the first bending portion 11 and the second bending portion 12 are located; a first clamping member 13 which is installed at the end portion of the first bending portion 11 and on which the first clamping portion 111 is located; and a second clamping member 14 which is installed at the end portion of the second bending portion 12 and on which the second clamping portion 121 is located. The end portions of the first bending portion 11 and the second bending portion 12 may be provided with structures such as corresponding installation grooves. The handle may also be pre-installed before leaving the factory.

[0024] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the first clamping portion 111 is a rotatable snap portion and the first clamping mating portion 21 is a snap mating portion. The rotatable snap portion is rotationally clamped on the snap mating portion (the snap mating portion is located within the rotatable snap portion). The second bending portion 12 rotates to cause the second positioning member 3 to be inserted into the second bending portion 12. After the second positioning member is inserted in place, the second clamping portion 121 is exactly clamped on the second clamping mating portion 31 to position the second bending portion 12 and prevent the second bending portion 12 from swinging reversely and causing the second positioning member 3 to come off, thereby realizing fixing of the handle on the door, without use of the components such as screws and gaskets on site.

[0025] Alternatively, it is also possible that the first clamping portion 111 is a snap mating portion, the second clamping portion 121 is a rotatable snap portion, and after being assembled, the first clamping portion 111 extends into the first positioning member 2. This mode can also achieve the object of the present disclosure, with its purpose not departing from the design idea of the present disclosure, which will not be described in detail here, and should be within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0026] Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the end portion of the second bending portion 12 is formed with a slot 122 with one side open, the second clamping portion 121 is a clamping hole arranged in a lower side wall of the slot 122, the second clamping mating portion 31 is an elastic member arranged on a lower side surface of the second positioning member 3, and the second positioning member 3 is inserted into the slot 122. The clamping hole may be located on a side wall of the slot 122 facing the first bending portion 11 or located on a side wall of the slot 122 facing away from the first bending portion 11, so as to prevent the second bending portion 12 from disengaging from the second positioning member 3. Moreover, the second bending portion 12 and the second positioning member 3 can be separated by pressing the elastic member inwardly from an exposed end of the clamping hole to make the elastic member come out of the clamping hole, thus realizing the action of detaching the handle from the installation member 5.

[0027] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 7, the elastic member includes a spring 311 and a clamping post 312. The clamping post 312 includes an extending section and a pressing section. The diameter of the extending section is smaller than that of the clamping hole, and the diameter of the clamping hole is smaller than that of the pressing section. A side surface of the second positioning member 3 facing away from the first positioning member 2 is provided with an installation blind hole 32, and the clamping hole is arranged on a side wall of the slot 122 facing away from the first bending portion 11. An end of the pressing section away from the extending section presses the spring 311 in the installation blind hole 32, the extending section extends out of the installation blind hole 32 and into the clamping hole, and an end of the pressing section adjacent to the extending section presses against an outer end surface of the clamping hole. The second bending portion 12 and the second positioning member 3 can be released just by pressing the extending section towards the inside of the slot 122 from the clamping hole, and the second positioning member 3 can be come out of the slot 122 by further swinging the handle reversely, thereby realizing the removal of the handle.

[0028] In an exemplary embodiment, the extending section is provided with a transition slope, so that when the slot and the first positioning member move relative to each other, the clamping post rises upwardly by an upward thrust at the beginning, and when the clamping hole moves to the position corresponding to the clamping post, the clamping post is further lowered under the action of the spring to extend into the clamping hole.

[0029] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, an inner side surface of the slot 122 is provided with a guide limiting rib 1221, and a side surface of the second positioning member 3 is provided with a guide limiting groove 33. The guide limiting rib 1221 is inserted into the guide limiting groove 33 and guides the end portion of the second positioning member 3 to be inserted into the slot 122 from the open end of the slot 122, and at the same time limits the degree of freedom of movement of the second bending portion 12 towards a side away from the installation member 5, so that the handle is more stable after being fixed.

[0030] The guide limiting rib 1221 may be located on a side wall of the slot 122 facing the first bending portion 11, located on a side wall of the slot 122 facing away from the first bending portion 11, or located on both the side wall of the slot 122 facing the first bending portion 11 and the side wall of the slot 122 facing away from the first bending portion 11. These modes all can achieve the object of the present disclosure, with the purpose not departing from the design idea of the present disclosure, which will not be further described in detail here, and should be within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the handle may be a separated member. As shown in FIG. 8, for example, the handle includes: a handle body 1 on which a first bending portion 11 and a second bending portion 12 are located; a first clamping member 13 which is installed at the end portion of the first bending portion 11 and on which the first clamping portion 111 is located; and a second clamping member 14 which is installed at the end portion of the second bending portion 12 and on which the second clamping portion 121 is located. The end portions of the first bending portion 11 and the second bending portion 12 may be provided with structures such as corresponding installation grooves. The handle may also be pre-installed before leaving the factory. The first positioning member 2 and the second positioning member 3 have the same structure, and the first clamping member 13 and the second clamping member 14 have the same structure.

[0032] In another exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 12 to FIG. 14, the end portions of the first bending portion 11 and the second bending portion 12 are each provided with a slot 122 opened on the same side. The first clamping portion 111 and the second clamping portion 121 are located on the inner side surfaces of the slots 122, the first clamping mating portion 21 is located on the side surface of the first positioning member 2, and the second clamping mating portion 31 is located on the side surface of the second positioning member 3. As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the end portion of the first positioning member 2 and the end portion of the second positioning member 3 are inserted into the slots 122 from the open ends of the slots 122 at the same time, and after they are inserted in place, the first clamping portion 111 and the second clamping portion 121 are just correspondingly clamped on the first clamping mating portion 21 and the second clamping mating portion 31.

[0033] The same side may be the upper side, or the lower side, or the left side, or the right side or the like of the door, and they all can achieve the object of the present disclosure, with the purpose not departing from the design idea of the present disclosure, which will not be further described in detail here and should be within the protection scope of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the same side is set as the lower side.

[0034] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 12, the first clamping portion 111 and the second clamping portion 121 are both clamping grooves, and the first clamping mating portion 21 and the second clamping mating portion 31 are both elastic protrusions. The slot 122 is configured as a T-shaped slot, and the end portions of the first positioning member 2 and the second positioning member 3 both form a T-shaped tongue. The T-shaped tongue is inserted into the T-shaped slot to limit the degree of freedom of movement of the handle towards a side away from the door. That is, the slot and the tongue cooperate to prevent the handle from moving outwardly relative to the side surface of the door. A process notch 4 for elastic deformation is provided at a side of the elastic protrusion, so that the elastic protrusion is of a cantilever structure, which is more conducive to elastic deformation.

[0035] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the first clamping portion 111 and the second clamping portion 121 are both elastic protrusions, and the first clamping mating portion 21 and the second clamping mating portion 31 are both clamping grooves. The slot 122 is configured as a T-shaped slot, and the end portions of the first positioning member 2 and the second positioning member 3 both form a T-shaped tongue. The T-shaped tongue is inserted into the T-shaped slot to limit the degree of freedom of movement of the handle towards a side away from the door. A process notch 4 for elastic deformation is provided at a side of the elastic protrusion, so that the elastic protrusion is of a cantilever structure, which is more conducive to elastic deformation.

[0036] For the convenience of detachment, the outer surface of the elastic protrusion and the inner surface of the clamping groove are both configured as cylindrical surfaces or spherical surfaces, so that the handle can be detached from the installation member 5 just by being pushed forcibly and reversely (i.e., being pushed upwardly).

[0037] In the above two exemplary embodiments, the assembly and disassembly of the handle and the installation member 5 are convenient and fast, and the handle assembly has good universality, and the installation member 5 will not be damaged during the installation process. The installation member 5 may be a component such as a door or a drawer.

[0038] The shower room (not shown in the figures) provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a door and the handle assembly according to any of the above embodiments, the installation member being the door.

[0039] The shower room provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure has all the advantages of the handle assembly described in any of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0040] To sum up, in the handle assembly provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first positioning member and the second positioning member are pre-installed on the installation member in advance, and during field installation, the handle is held and moved by a hand so that the first positioning member extends into the first bending portion and/or the second positioning member extends into the second bending portion, and after extending into place, the first clamping portion is clamped on the first clamping mating portion and the second clamping portion is clamped on the second clamping mating portion, thereby fixing the handle to the installation member. The on-site installation is simple and convenient, and will not damage the door, thus achieving better practicability.
