The limit plate 3 is annular, and the torsion spring 4 drives the limit plate 3 to reset. The handle 1 is rotatably connected to the panel 2 and drives the limit plate 3 to rotate. Further, a reversing structure is arranged in the panel 2, and the reversing structure includes a slide groove 5 and a slider assembly 6 slidably connected to the slide groove 5. The limit plate 3 is provided with a ring-shaped limit part 1 31, a limit part 2 32, and a limit part 33. The torsion spring 4 has a contact part 1 41 and a contact part 2 42 respectively arranged on both sides of the reversing structure. The limit plate 3 is provided with a push part 34 inserted between the contact part 1 41 and the contact part 2 42.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, when the present invention leaves the factory, the slider assembly 6 abuts against the top of the push portion 34 to keep the present invention in a state to be activated before installation. Then, when the handle 1 of the split lock is installed, the user only needs to rotate the handle 1 to the left or right according to the door opening mode to lock and activate the present invention as a left-opening door handle 1 or a right-opening door handle 1. The activation process is as follows:

[0033] like Fig.10 As shown, when used as a right-hand door handle 1: the handle 1 drives the limiting plate 3 to rotate counterclockwise, at which time the abutting portion 1 41 is limited by the reversing structure, and the abutting portion 34 pushes the limiting portion 2 42 away from the limiting portion 1 41 as the limiting plate 3 rotates, so as to tension the torsion spring 4 and form an elastic restoring force for the limiting plate 3 to return to its original position after continuing to rotate; the limiting portion 2 32 and the limiting portion 3 33 rotate as the limiting plate 3 rotates to correspond to the two sides of the slider assembly 6 respectively, and then the slider assembly 6 is inserted between the limiting portion 2 32 and the limiting portion 3 33 and movably contacts the limiting portion 2 32 or the limiting portion 3 33, thereby limiting the travel of the limiting plate 3 to rotate counterclockwise and return to its original position after counterclockwise rotation; at this time, the door opening rotation direction of the handle 1 is locked to counterclockwise rotation under the action of the limiting portion 2 32 and the limiting portion 3 33, forming a right-hand door handle 1 that rotates counterclockwise;

[0034] like Fig.11As shown, when used as a left-opening door handle 1: the handle 1 drives the limiting plate 3 to rotate right, at this time, the resistance part 2 42 is limited by the reversing structure, and the push part 34 pushes the resistance part 1 41 away from the resistance part 2 42 as the limiting plate 3 rotates, so as to tension the torsion spring 4 and form an elastic restoring force for the limiting plate 3 to return to its original position after continuing to rotate; the limiting part 1 31 and the limiting part 3 33 rotate as the limiting plate 3 rotates to correspond to the two sides of the slider assembly 6 respectively, and then the slider assembly 6 is inserted between the limiting part 1 31 and the limiting part 3 33 and movably contacts with the limiting part 1 31 or the limiting part 3 33, thereby limiting the right-hand rotation and the return stroke of the limiting plate 3 after right rotation; at this time, the door opening rotation direction of the handle 1 is locked to right-hand rotation under the action of the limiting part 1 31 and the limiting part 3 33, forming a left-opening door handle 1 that rotates right.
