Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to, but is not limited to, the field of sanitary ware, in particular to an adjustable door frame assembly, an installation method and a shower door installation structure.
Background
[0002] A shower door is usually installed against a wall, and the shower door is installed and connected with the wall through at least two sets of connecting assemblies. The shower door should be kept in a vertical state after installation. However, because a wall surface of a shower room is usually not completely vertical, if the shower door is installed completely along the wall surface, the shower door may not be in the vertical state after installation, which will affect the opening and closing of the shower door. In order to solve this problem, it is needed to adjust the distance between the upper and lower ends of the shower door and the wall surface during installation to ensure that the shower door is in the vertical state.
[0003] In order to realize adjustment, the shower door usually includes a fixed door frame for fixing with the wall surface and a movable door frame connected with a door panel, and the fixed door frame and the movable door frame are connected by at least two sets of connecting assemblies. When installing, the fixed door frame is fixed against the wall, then the movable door frame is installed to the fixed door frame. During installation, the movable door frame is adjusted to the vertical state by adjusting the expansion and contraction of the connecting assemblies. Finally, holes are drilled in the movable door frame and the fixed door frame, and the movable door frame and the fixed door frame are fastened together with screws and the like. However, on the one hand, it needs the cooperation of at least two people to drill holes, and it is time-consuming. During the whole drilling process, it needs manpower to keep the movable door frame and the fixed door frame relatively stationary, which makes it difficult to install and impossible to perform secondary adjustment after installation. On the other hand, the manual operation is very unstable, for example, the movable door frame moves relative to the fixed door frame in the drilling process, which not only affects the appearance of the shower door, but also may cause damage to the fixed door frame and the movable door frame, and may even cause the shower door to be scrapped.

[0023] In order to make the objects, technical schemes and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other if there is no conflict.
[0024] Referring to a shower door installation structure of an embodiment of the present disclosure shown in FIGS. 1 to 17, the shower door installation structure includes a door panel 300 and an adjustable door frame assembly. The door frame assembly includes a fixed door frame 100 fixed to a wall 800 and a movable door frame 200 for installing the door panel 300. The fixed door frame 100 is configured to insert into and connect to the movable door frame 200 with an adjustable insertion depth, so as to adjust the door panel 300 and the movable door frame 200 into a vertical state (i.e., perpendicular to the ground).
[0025] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the door frame assembly includes a fixed door frame 100 and a movable door frame 200 that are configured to be connected by insertion. The top and bottom of the movable door frame 200 are respectively provided with a rotating shaft seat, and the two rotating shaft seats may be an upper rotating shaft seat 400 at the top and a lower rotating shaft seat 500 at the bottom due to different positions. In addition, separate adjusting member 700 and fastener are provided on the upper rotating shaft seat 400. The upper rotating shaft seat 400 is provided with a guide groove 404. The adjusting member 700 is an elongated profile. The adjusting member 700 includes a fixed end 701 and a sliding end 702. The fixed end 701 is configured to connect with the fixed door frame 100, and the sliding end 702 is arranged to slide along the guide groove 404 to adjust the vertical state of the movable door frame 200 by making it close to or away from the fixed door frame 100. In some exemplary embodiments, the fastener may be a fastening screw 600, and the fastening screw 600 is arranged at the sliding end 702, so that the sliding end 702 is fixed at a position in the guide groove 404 to lock the movable door frame 200.
[0026] As for the fixed door frame 100, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 7 and FIG. 11, the fixed door frame 100 is an elongated aluminum element with semi-enclosed cross section. An opening of the fixed door frame 100 faces away from the wall 800, that is, faces the movable door frame 200. After the fixed door frame 100 is fixed to the wall 800, an installation gap 801 is formed between a web of the fixed door frame 100 and a wall surface of the wall 800.
[0027] As for the movable door frame 200, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 and 10, the movable door frame 200 includes an aluminum fixing element 201, an aluminum rotating shaft element 202, a waterproof rubber strip 203, a lifting seat 204 and a decorative cover 205, in addition to the upper rotating shaft seat 400 and the lower rotating shaft seat 500 described above. The aluminum fixing element 201 is an elongated aluminum element with a semi-enclosed cross section. An opening of the aluminum fixing element 201 faces the wall 800 and is slightly wider than the fixed door frame 100, so that the fixed door frame 100 can be inserted into the aluminum fixing element 201 through the opening of the aluminum fixing element 201. The insertion depth of the fixed door frame 100 into the aluminum fixing element 201 is the depth with which the fixed door frame 100 is inserted into and connected to the movable door frame 200. The aluminum rotating shaft element 202 is an elongated aluminum element with a fully enclosed cross section. The aluminum rotating shaft element 202 is configured to parallel to the aluminum fixing element 201 and be connected by the upper rotating shaft seat 400 and the lower rotating shaft seat 500. A lifting seat 204 is respectively inserted into and connected to the upper and lower ends of the aluminum rotating shaft element 202. The lifting seat 204 is provided with a protruding shaft seat. A decorative cover 205 covers the lifting seat 204 and has a through hole for inserting the shaft seat. The upper rotating shaft seat 400 connects the aluminum rotating shaft element 202 with the aluminum fixing element 201 in the same way as the lower rotating shaft seat 500 connects the aluminum rotating shaft element 202 with the aluminum fixing element 201. Taking the upper rotating shaft seat 400 as an example, a portion of the upper rotating shaft seat 400 is fitted to the upper end of the aluminum fixing element 201 and fixed by a self-tapping screw 206, while the other portion of the upper rotating shaft seat 400 is fitted to the upper end of the aluminum rotating shaft element 202 and provided with a downward extending rotating shaft 402. The rotating shaft 402 can be inserted into a shaft seat of the lifting seat 204 to form a rotary connection between the upper rotating shaft seat 400 and the aluminum rotating shaft element 202, that is, the aluminum rotating shaft element 202 can rotate around an axis of the rotating shaft 402, thereby opening and closing the door panel. In addition, the waterproof rubber strip 203 is arranged between the aluminum fixing element 201 and the aluminum rotating shaft element 202. The waterproof rubber strip 203 having elasticity fills the gap between the aluminum fixing element 201 and the aluminum rotating shaft element 202, which can ensure sealing when the aluminum rotating shaft element 202 rotates, prevent water from splashing through the gap, and can improve user experience.
[0028] As for the door panel 300, as shown in FIG. 2, the door panel 300 includes a glass panel 301, an aluminum element 302 and a magnetic strip 303. One end of the glass panel 301 can be fixed with the aluminum rotating shaft element 202, and the other end of the glass panel 301 is fixed with the aluminum element 302. The magnetic strip 303 is embedded in the aluminum element 302. Correspondingly, a magnetic material with different magnetism or a metal material that can be attracted by a magnet, corresponding to the magnetic strip 303, can be provided at the wall at the other side of the door panel 300, to lock the door closed. In addition, a gap is left between a lower side of the door panel 300 and the ground, to facilitate the opening and closing of the door panel 300, and a water retaining strip can be correspondingly provided at the gap.
[0029] As for the adjusting member 700, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 12, the adjusting member 700 is an elongated metal profile, and the fixed end 701 and the sliding end 702 are the two ends of the adjusting member 700 in a length direction, respectively. The fixed end 701 is provided with a hook-shaped hook head 703 that is bent to one side. A retaining rib 705 extends from a lower end of the sliding end 702 facing a groove bottom of the installation groove 403. The retaining rib 705 is provided with protruding and circular bosses 706 on both sides of the free end thereof. The sliding end 702 is provided with a through threaded hole 704. In addition, the end face of the hook head 703 facing away from the sliding end 702 is provided with a curved surface 707 which extends to a hook tip of the hook head 703.
[0030] The difference between the upper rotating shaft seat 400 and the lower rotating shaft seat 500 is that the upper rotating shaft seat 400 is provided with the adjusting member 700, the fastening screw 600, the guide groove 404 and the like. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the upper rotating shaft seat 400 includes a main body 401, which is divided into a fixing portion 411 corresponding to the aluminum fixing element 201 and a rotating shaft portion 412 corresponding to the aluminum rotating shaft element 202. The fixing portion 411 is provided with two through fixing holes 409 for driving the self-tapping screw 206 into the aluminum fixing element 201. A lower end of the rotating shaft portion 412 is provided with a protruding rotating shaft 402. The top of the fixing portion 411 is provided with an installation groove 403 for accommodating the adjusting member 700. The installation groove 403 is arranged along a length direction of the upper rotating shaft seat and extends to the rotating shaft portion 412. The two side walls of the installation groove 403 are respectively provided with the guide groove 404 near the groove bottom, and the guide grooves 404 are arranged in the same direction as the installation groove 403, so that after the two bosses 706 of the adjusting member 700 are respectively inserted into the two guide grooves 404, the adjusting member 700 can slide in the installation groove 403 and only slide along the guide grooves 404. An installation notch 406 is provided between the fixing portion 411 and the rotating shaft portion 412. The installation notch 406 is located at one end of the installation groove 403, so that the bosses 706 of the sliding end 702 can slide into the guide grooves 404. In addition, the panel at the groove bottom of the installation groove 403 continues to extend towards the installation notch 406 to form a transition panel 410.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the other end of the installation groove 403 is provided with a support rod 405 which traverses within the installation groove 403, and both ends of the support rod 405 are connected with the groove walls of the installation groove 403. When the sliding end 702 slides to the support rod 405 of the installation groove 403, the retaining rib 705 can abut against the support rod 405 to prevent the sliding end 702 from sliding out of the installation groove 403, thereby preventing the adjusting member 700 from separating from the upper rotating shaft seat 400. The support rod 405 and the retaining rib 705 constitute an anti-falling mechanism. In addition, the groove bottom of the installation groove 403 is provided with a clearance notch 407 corresponding to the support rod 405.
[0032] After the door frame assembly is installed in place, the hook head 703 of the adjusting member 700 is clamped between the wall 800 and the fixed door frame 100, the adjusting member 700 rests on the support rod 405, and the fastening screw 600 at the sliding end 702 abuts against the groove bottom of the installation groove 403 to position the sliding end 702 and fix the upper end of the fixed door frame 100 and the upper end of the movable door frame 200 relative to each other. The web of the fixed door frame 100 is provided with a positioning notch 101 corresponding to the hook head of the adjusting member 700, and the hook head 703 is fitted at the positioning notch 101. Even if the fastening screw 600 fails, i.e., the fastening screw 600 does not abut against the groove bottom of the installation groove 403, due to the weight of the door panel 300, the upper rotating shaft seat 400 together with the movable door frame 200 will move away from the fixed door frame 100, and the sliding end 702 will move towards the wall 800 relative to the installation groove 403 until the retaining rib 705 abuts against the support rod 405, as shown in FIG. 16. Therefore, when the fastening screw 600 fails, the anti-falling mechanism can prevent the sliding end 702 from falling off the guide groove 404 and causing the movable door frame 200 to fall, thereby improving the safety of use. In addition, in some exemplary embodiments, the retaining rib 705 extends downward and inclines towards the fixed door frame 100. Correspondingly, the support rod 405 is provided with a first inclined surface 408 at the end face facing the rotating shaft portion 412, so that the first inclined surface 408 fits with the retaining rib 705 when the retaining rib 705 abuts against the support rod 405.
[0033] As the wall surface of the wall 800 may be inclined to a certain extent, the fixed door frame 100 fitted on the wall will also have a certain inclination. In this case, it is needed to adjust the movable door frame 200 to keep it vertical so as not to affect the opening and closing of the shower door. The adjustable door frame assembly can be installed according to the following steps to keep the movable door frame vertical. Firstly, the fixed door frame 100 is installed and the movable door frame 200 with rotating shaft seats is assembled. Secondly, the movable door frame 200 is lifted and connected with the fixed door frame 100 by corresponding insertion, the fixed door frame 100 is completely inserted into the aluminum fixing element 201, and the depth of the fixed door frame 100 inserted into the movable door frame 200 is maximized. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the adjusting member 700 is kept vertical, and then moved downward until the sliding end 702 is inserted into the installation notch 406 as shown in FIG. 13, and the adjusting member 700 is translated so that the end of the retaining rib 705 provided with the bosses 706 is fitted on the transition panel 410. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the adjusting member 700 is rotated around the axis a of the bosses, and in this process, the adjusting member 700 is appropriately translated and the hook head 703 is rotated towards the fixed door frame 100 and fitted with the fixed door frame 100, as shown in FIG. 15, so that the movable door frame 200 can move away from the fixed door frame 100 under the guidance of the adjusting member 700 and the guide grooves 404. The movable door frame 200 is continued to move until the movable door frame 200 is vertical, and it is determined that this state is the final locked state. Finally, the fastening screw 600 is tightened, and the fastening screw 600 passes through the sliding end 702 and abuts against the rotating shaft seat, as shown in FIG. 17. In some exemplary embodiments, the fastening screw 600 may be pre-installed on the adjusting member 700, but it is not screwed to the deepest fitting position, and the fastening screw 600 is not completely tightened until the adjustment of the movable door frame 200 is completed.
[0034] In some exemplary embodiments, the upper end of the door frame assembly is locked by the adjusting member 700 and the fastening screw 600 after adjustment, while the lower rotating shaft seat 500 at the lower end and the movable door frame 200 can be adhered to the ground by adhesive after adjustment.
[0035] When installing the shower door installation structure, reference can be made to the installation method of the door frame assembly. When assembling the movable door frame 200, the door panel 300 needs to be fixed to the movable door frame 200. After the adjusting member 700 is inserted into the upper end of the door frame assembly, the position of the upper end of the door frame assembly is adjusted. Even if the control over the movable door frame 200 and the door panel 300 is lost due to misoperation in the adjustment process, the anti-falling mechanism can prevent the movable door frame 200 and the door panel 300 from tilting and falling off, which can improve the installation safety. After the adjustment is completed, they can be locked with the fastening screw 600. The lower end of the door frame assembly is not provided with an adjusting member 700, and can be fixed by adhesive after adjusting the movable door frame 200 without inserting the adjusting member 700.
[0036] In some exemplary embodiments, the lower rotating shaft seat 500 forms a sliding connection with the fixed door frame 100 through an adjusting member, and is locked by the fastening screw 600.
[0037] The upper rotating shaft seat 400 serves as a first rotating shaft seat. In some exemplary embodiments, the sliding end 702 of the adjusting member 700 is provided with the guide groove 404, the installation groove 403, and the anti-falling mechanism. A slider structure at the upper end of the first rotating shaft seat may slide along the guide groove 404 of the sliding end 702, so as to form a sliding fit between the sliding end 702 and the first rotating shaft seat, so that the top of the movable door frame 200 may move close to or away from the fixed door frame 100 to adjust the vertical state of the movable door frame 200.
[0038] In combination with the above embodiments, there is no need to drill hole when adjusting the door frame assembly of the embodiment of the present disclosure into a vertical state, which saves manpower and time, and does not damage the frame surface and affect the appearance of products. The door frame assembly of the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with an anti-falling mechanism, for preventing the sliding end from falling off the guide groove which causes the movable door frame to fall in the case of failure of the fastener, which is not only beneficial to installation, but also can prevent the door panel from falling off due to loosening of the fastener after long-term use, thereby greatly improving the use experience.
