4、Correct installation method
About the installation structure of the shower door sealing strip and the manufacturing method of the shower door Background: As shown in FIG. 1, conventional shower room sealing strips are currently provided in a “丩” shape on one side of the shower door in the thickness direction. The bottom edge of the shower room door 33 extends to the stone water stop 22.
When the shower room door opens and closes, the sealing strip moves against the ground to prevent water from flowing out of the shower room. In the prior art, the length of the sealing strip is larger than the size of the gap. Most of these sealing strips are made of PVC. Because of the rigid nature of the material, the movement in the direction indicated by arrow X in FIG. 1 can be performed. In the opposite direction, the sealing strip 11 will receive a large bending force at this time, which may easily cause deformation or damage to the sealing strip. Technical realization elements: Therefore, the utility model can solve the problem that the shower glass partition door can only be opened in one direction, and provides a mounting structure for a shower door seal that can realize two-way opening.
The utility model provides an installation structure for a shower room door sealing strip which can realize bidirectional opening. The shower room door includes a shower room door rotatably connected to a vertical wall, and a water barrier is provided below the shower room door. A sealing strip is connected to an end of the shower door close to the water stop, the flexible sealing strip is provided at a thickness center A of the shower door, and the flexible sealing strip can be opened in the shower door Or when the door is closed, a bending action away from the moving direction of the shower door occurs. Preferably, it further comprises: a cover, one side of which is covered on the shower door, and the other side is connected with the flexible sealing strip; preferably, the cover is fixed on the shower door by glue;
5、 Different materials make up different shower seals
Shower door seals include translucent PVC, magnetic strip and vinyl. Each type of door seal is designed between two pieces of glass or glass and other materials, which can be fixed or circulating. This seal prevents water from penetrating between the glass. It also creates a cushion so that the two pieces do not grind together. These seals can be used on any type of shower door and wall mechanism, whether it is a sliding door, to form a glass wall.
Some shower door seals are made of translucent PVC. This is a flexible plastic that can often be molded to fit straight chains or curved edges. Seals are usually designed to prevent water from coming out of the drip door.
Strips of this type can be found lined with fixed glass plates that come in contact with other materials, such as tiled showers or ceramic bathtubs. It uses this slightly invisible sealant for shower doors, often called frameless. Because the glass looks floating, there is no benefit to the metal frame.
Glass shower doors usually use shower magnetic door seals.
Translucent PVC is a magnetic strip used to encase. The PVC is designed to be pressed into glass, where two glass pieces will meet to form the edge of a watertight barrier. Once the two magnets are in contact, they lock the shower in place and the water keeps the shower inside. The only side profile of the two magnets is visible through the transparent plastic, making this type of component also commonly used in projects with frameless shower doors.
Vinyl shower door seals are used on those interior aluminum framed doors. This type of door is often in two fixed walls with different materials. A single piece of glass was mounted in an aluminum frame and waterproofed with vinyl-sealed tracks. The track is mounted inside the first aluminum frame and is generally clear in color. They also created a buffer barrier to prevent vibrations from being transmitted to the glass sheet.
