Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bathroom equipment, and in particular to a rotating shaft assembly for a shower door and a shower door including the same.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] At present, the use of a shower room to achieve wet-dry separation is becoming increasingly common in the field of premises fitting out. The shower room is generally provided with a shower door with a glass plate. The existing shower door includes a sliding door with a rack and a revolving door with a hinge.

[0003] The existing revolving door includes a panel, a rotating shaft and a transition profile. The panel is generally made of glass, or made of plexiglass or other materials. The rotating shaft is generally a cylindrical or substantially cylindrical profile. Generally, two ends of the rotating shaft are hinged to the transition profile, and the transition profile is then fixed against the wall. The panel is connected with the rotating shaft and rotatable around a central axis of the rotating shaft. In the construction site, due to the verticality error of the wall and the dimension error of the revolving door, a mounting error such as the failure of the rotating shaft to abut against the wall or the excessive gap between the movable panel and the fixed panel of the shower door is formed. During construction, a wall-against profile is used to eliminate the mounting error. The wall-against profile is fixed against the wall, and then the transition profile is in sleeved connection with the wall-against profile, and the transition profile and the wall-against profile are fixed directly by screws. By adjusting the overlapping degree between the wall-against profile and the transition profile, the position of the panel can be adjusted, thereby eliminating the mounting error. There is no shower door with adjustable width in the conventional technology, and the method of providing the wall-against profile is a compromise in the face of mounting error during construction.

[0047] The conventional technology has the following disadvantages in providing a sleeve structure between a wall-against profile and a transition profile during construction.

(1) The transition profile is in sleeved connection with the wall-against profile. If the fit is tight, a relative position adjustment of sliding between the two will scratch the surface, affecting the corrosion resistance of the profile and the appearance of the product. If the fit is loose, there will be a gap between the two, which will cause looseness and noise when the panel is rotated.

(2) The transition profile is in sleeved connection with the wall-against profile, and the relative position between the transition profile and the wall-against profile is fixed by screws. However, due to the thin wall thickness of the profile, the number of teeth connecting the screws to the profile wall is excessively small, so that the bearing capacity of the screws is limited and the screws are prone to failure, thereby reducing the strength of the revolving door.

[0048] In view of the above problems, a rotating shaft assembly for a shower door and a shower door including the same are provided according to embodiments of the present application. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a mounting position of the rotating shaft assembly.

[0049] The rotating shaft assembly includes a transition assembly, a shaft sleeve, a clamping device and an adjustment assembly. The transition assembly is configured to connect the shaft sleeve with the wall. Generally, the transition assembly and the shaft sleeve are arranged side by side, and two ends of the transition assembly are hinged to two ends of the shaft sleeve respectively, so that the shaft sleeve is rotatable around a rotating axis parallel to a central axis of the shaft sleeve.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present application, a groove is defined on a side, away from the transition assembly, of the shaft sleeve, and is configured to accommodate the clamping device. The clamping device is located in the groove on the side of the shaft sleeve, and is configured to clamp a panel of the shower door. The rotating shaft assembly according to an embodiment of the present application further includes an adjustment assembly, and a length of the adjustment assembly is adjustable. One end of the adjustment assembly is connected with the shaft sleeve, and the other end of the adjustment assembly is connected with the clamping device. When the length of the adjustment assembly is adjusted, the clamping device moves back and forth in the groove in a direction perpendicular to the rotating axis of the shaft sleeve, thereby driving the panel of the shower door away from or close to the shaft sleeve, achieving an adjustable width of the shower door and eliminating the mounting error.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, an optional transition assembly is provided according to an embodiment of the present application, which includes a frame 10 and a base 11, and each of two ends of the frame 10 is provided with the base 11. Optionally, the frame 10 is a strip-shaped profile.

As shown in (c) in FIG. 1, the frame 10 includes a bottom plate 101, side plates 102, surrounding plates 103 and bending plates 104.

[0052] Specifically, the bottom plate 101 is provided with fixing holes 1011 at positions close to two ends of the bottom plate 101. The fixing holes 1011 are configured to fix the bottom plate 1011 to the wall. For example, bolts are passed through the fixing holes 1011 at the two ends of the bottom plate 101, so as to press the bottom plate 101 against the wall. Each of two sides of the bottom plate 101 is provided with the side plate 102, and the side plates 102 and the bottom plate form a semi-enclosed structure in the shape of "

". Optionally, a side, away from the bottom plate 101, of each side plate 102 is connected with the bending plate 104. A cross section of the bending plate 104 is circular or major-arc-shaped. Optionally, a through hole is formed in the base 11. A connector/fastener can be inserted into a hole formed by the bending plate 104 after passing through the base 11, so as to achieve the connection between the base 11 and the frame 10. Optionally, threads are formed at a position of an inner wall of the bending plate 104 close to the end, and are configured to threadedly connect the base 11 with the frame 10. Optionally, a side, away from the side plate 102, of each bending plate 104 is connected with the surrounding plate 103. The surrounding plate 103 is configured to cover a gap between the shaft sleeve and the bottom plate 101. According to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a sealing member 12 may be provided in the groove defined by the bottom plate 101, the side plates 102, the surrounding plates 103 and the bending plates 104, so as to enhance the sealing effect on the gap between the frame 10 and the shaft sleeve. The surrounding plates 103 and the sealing member 12 are configured to prevent dust and water from entering the gap between the shaft sleeve and the frame 10. Optionally, a width of the surrounding plate 103 is greater than a width of the side plate 102.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present application, A and B in FIG. 5 show perspective views of the base 11 viewed from different perspectives. The base 11 is plate-shaped. A thickness direction of the base 11 is parallel to an extending direction of the frame 10. The shaft sleeve is mounted between the bases 11 at the two ends of the frame. A side surface, facing toward the midpoint of the frame 10, of the base 11 is provided with a first hinge member 111, which is configured to be hinged to the shaft sleeve. At least one though hole 113 is formed at a position of the base 11 connected with the frame 10, that is, on a surface 112 facing away from the frame 10, for fasteners to pass through. For example, it should be understood that the connection between the frame 10 and the base 11 can be fixed or detachable.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, a shaft sleeve is provided according to the embodiments of the present application, which includes a rotating shaft 20 and end covers 30 arranged at two ends of the rotating shaft 20. A perspective view of the rotating shaft 20 is shown in the left figure of FIG. 6, and a top view of the rotating shaft 20 is shown in the right figure of FIG. 6. As shown in the FIG. 3 and the right figure of FIG. 6, the rotating shaft 20 has a cylindrical structure, and a sliding groove 201 is defined on a side, away from the frame 10, of the rotating shaft 20. Optionally, an end, close to a sliding groove bottom 203, of an outer wall of the sliding groove 201 is provided with a connecting hole 204. A contour of the connecting hole 204 may be circular or major-arc-shaped. Optionally, a first side wall 205 and a second side wall 206 of the sliding groove 201 exceed a rear end of a housing 202. A rear end of the first side wall 205 and a rear end of the second side wall 206 form a first blocking strip 208 and a second blocking strip 209 respectively. Along a direction toward the sliding groove bottom 203, a position-limiting protrusion 207 is formed on an inner wall of the first side wall 205.

[0055] Optionally, the rotating shaft 20 further includes a housing 202, the sliding groove bottom 203 of the sliding groove 201 is surrounded by the housing 202. Along a direction perpendicular to the rotating axis, a cross-sectional contour of the housing 202 is in a shape of major arc, and end points of the major arc are connected with the outer wall of the sliding groove 201.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, a contour of the end cover 30 matches a contour of the rotating shaft 20, and an end, close to the rotating shaft 20, of the end cover 30 is in sleeved connection with an end of the rotating shaft 20. The end, facing toward the rotating shaft 20, of the end cover 30 is provided with an accommodating groove 305. The accommodating groove 305 is configured to accommodate the adjustment assembly. As shown in FIG. 7, the end cover 30 includes an engagement section 302 and a limiting section 303. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the engagement section 302 is configured to engage with the end of the rotating shaft 20. A diameter of the limiting section 303 is different from a diameter of the engagement section 302, and the limiting section 303 and the engagement section 302 form a step. When the engagement section 302 engages with the rotating shaft 20, a surface of the step overlaps with an end face of the rotating shaft 20, thus preventing the end cover 30 from moving toward the center of the rotating shaft 20. Exemplarily, an outer diameter of the engagement section 302 is equal to an inner diameter of the housing 202, and an outer diameter of the limiting section 303 is greater than an outer diameter of the engagement section 302. Exemplarily, an inner diameter of the engagement section 302 is equal to an outer diameter of the housing 202, and an inner diameter of the limiting section 303 is smaller than an outer diameter of the housing 202. It should be understood that a groove body of the accommodating groove 305 protrudes from a surface of the limiting section 303.

[0057] Further, a positioning groove 306 is formed in an inner wall of a side, corresponding to the sliding groove bottom 203 of the rotating shaft 20, of the accommodating groove 305, which is configured to fix the adjustment assembly. Furthermore, a first avoidance groove 304 is defined on a side, corresponding to the sliding groove bottom 203, of the limiting section 303, and a second avoidance groove 310 is defined at the bottom of a side, corresponding to an opening of the sliding groove 201, of the accommodating groove 305. The first avoidance groove 304 and the second avoidance groove 310 are configured to facilitate the entry of the adjustment tool into the end cover 30, so as to realize the adjustment of the length of the adjustment assembly. Optionally, a side wall of the accommodating groove 305 may exceed beyond a bounding surface between the limiting section 303 and the engagement section 302. When the engagement section 302 engages with the rotating shaft 20, the accommodating groove 305 engages with the side wall of the sliding groove 201, so as to prevent the end cover 30 from rotating around the central axis of the housing 202.

[0058] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 7, a first contact surface 307, away from the rotating shaft 20, of the end cover 30 is a flat surface, and a second hinge member 301 is formed on the flat surface. The second hinge member 301 is hinged to the first hinge member 111, so as to realize the rotation of the rotating shaft 20. It should be noted that, one of the second hinge member 301 and the first hinge member 111 may be a pin, and the other one of the first hinge member 111 and the second hinge member 301 may be a hole. It should be noted that the pin may be rigid or elastic. At least one positioning hole 308 is formed on the first contact surface 307, and a position of the positioning hole 308 corresponds to a position of the connecting hole 204, which allows the end cover 30 to be connected with the rotating shaft 20 by a connector or a fastener (such as a buckle, a pin or a screw).

[0059] In still other optional embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, a second contact portion 309 is formed on a surface of the first contact surface 307. Correspondingly, a first contact portion 114 is formed on a side, facing toward the center of the frame 10, of the base 11. The first contact portion 114 and the second contact portion 309 form a protrusion-recess fit, to realize the angle positioning and obstacle avoidance during the rotation of the rotating shaft 20. Optionally, surface contours of the first contact portion 114 and the second contact portion 309 have guiding surfaces.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present application, the clamping device includes at least one clamper 40. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 9, in some exemplary embodiment, the clamper 40 is a rod-shaped profile provided with a clamping groove 401 extending through two ends. Each side inner wall of the clamping groove 401 is provided with a first position-limiting strip 405 and a second position-limiting strip 406 along a clamping groove bottom 402 to a groove opening. A via hole 404 is provided at a position, close to an end of the clamper, of the clamping groove bottom 402. An end of the adjustment assembly is embedded in the clamping groove 401, and a main body of the adjustment assembly passes through the via hole 404. The first position-limiting strip 401 and the second position-limiting strip 406 are configured to limit the end of the adjustment assembly, so that the clamper 40 moves axially along the main body of the adjustment assembly with the movement of the end of the adjustment assembly when the length of the adjustment assembly is adjusted. It is not difficult to understand that the clamping device may also be two independent clampers 40, which are respectively clamped at two same-side corners of the panel of the shower door.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the application, the adjustment assembly is of a length-adjustable structure in a broad sense. It may have an integral and non-detachable structure, such as a segmented telescopic structure similar to an antenna or a telescopic rack structure and its variation structure. The adjustment assembly may also have a split and detachable structure, such as a worm-slider structure, a rail-slider structure, or a screw-slider structure and the like. Although the total length of this kind of structure and its variation is unchanged, a distance between the slider and the end of the rail or bar is adjustable, which is referred to as a length-adjustable structure in the present application. Optionally, the adjustment assembly includes a first adjustment member 50 and a second adjustment member 60. Preferably, the adjustment assembly has a locking mechanism.

[0062] Exemplarily, the first adjustment member 50 is block-shaped, and a main body of the first adjustment member 50 is provided with a threaded hole 502. Correspondingly, the second adjustment member 60 is a worm or a screw, and the first adjustment member 50 and the second adjustment member 60 form a worm-slider fit or a screw-slider fit. For another example, one of the first adjustment member 50 and the second adjustment member 60 has a dovetail structure or a fishbone structure, and the other one of the first adjustment member 50 and the second adjustment member 60 is provided with a dovetail groove or fishbone groove.

[0063] Referring to FIG. 10, an optional first adjustment member 50 is provided according to an embodiment of the present application. The first adjustment member 50 is cubic. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, an embedded end 501 of the first adjustment member 50 is embedded in the clamping groove 401. Each of two sides of the embedded end 501 is provided with a positioning groove 503. When the embedded end 501 is embedded in the clamping groove 401, the first position-limiting strip 405 on the inner wall of the clamping groove 401 enters the positioning groove 503, and forms a protrusion-recess fit with the positioning groove 503, so that the clamper 40 moves with the movement of the first adjustment member 50. As shown in FIG. 10, a blocking sheet 504 is formed on a side surface, facing away from the embedded end 501, of the first adjustment member 50, and the blocking sheet 504 is configured to prevent the first adjustment member from moving toward the center of the clamping groove. Alternatively, the second adjustment member 60 is a screw.
