Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of kitchenware technology, specifically relating to a cookware with a foldable handle for storage. Background Technology

[0002] Existing fixed-handle pots, such as frying pans and woks, while fulfilling their intended functions and basic usage requirements, generally suffer from the following drawbacks when not in use: First, low space utilization, with protruding handles wasting cabinet or shelf space; second, potential interference with adjacent items, such as handles getting stuck or colliding with other cookware in drawers or cabinets, requiring detours or rearrangement when retrieving items, which is very inconvenient; third, inability to fit into standard cabinets, such as shallow modern cabinets, built-in sterilizers, or dishwashers, where the long handles may prevent the pots from fitting; fourth, difficulty in carrying and outdoor use, as fixed handles are a significant burden in scenarios requiring portability, such as picnics or camping, making it difficult to pack them into backpacks or small storage containers; and fifth, the risk of accidental snagging and tipping, such as in kitchen aisles, where protruding handles can cause problems. It is extremely easy for the handle to snag on people's clothing, backpack straps, or other items on the table such as spice bottles and cups, causing safety hazards; sixth, the connection between the handle and the pot body is prone to wear because the end of the handle facing the pot body is usually Y-shaped, and the two forks of this Y-shape are riveted to the pot body as a whole. Therefore, the strength or firmness of the riveted part is very weak, and it is very easy to deform, loosen or even break during frequent moving and picking up and putting down due to collisions and cantilever forces; seventh, since it is impossible to avoid squeezing and bumping with other items when storing, the coating on the surface of the pot body (such as non-stick coating) is more likely to be scratched by the handle or other objects; eighth, kitchen management is troublesome, for example, visual clutter, the handles of various pots are of different lengths and extend out of the cabinet in different directions, making the kitchen look messy and affecting the orderliness and tidiness of kitchen items; ninth, management efficiency is affected. When a specific pot needs to be quickly accessed, the fixed handle forces the cook to search for it one by one instead of seeing all the pots at a glance.

[0003] Based on the aforementioned prominent and easily summarized problems such as low storage space utilization when not in use, interference with other objects, safety hazards from accidental snagging, and difficulties in maintaining a clean and efficient kitchen, designing the handle as a detachable structure from the pot body is a beneficial approach that can essentially eliminate these technical problems. This can be seen in published Chinese patent documents, such as CN211795821U's "A Wok for Easy Storage," which provides details on the detachable handle from the pot body in paragraphs 0017 to 0018 of its specification.

[0004] However, because the aforementioned patent designs the handle to be detached from the pot body as needed (when stored away from use) or assembled (when in use), the following drawbacks arise: First, the frequent switching between assembly and disassembly makes the installation and disassembly operations of aligning and tightening the screw sleeves, etc., quite cumbersome, and insufficient tightening of the screw sleeves during assembly poses a safety hazard during use; second, the time and tools required for assembly before use affect immediate usability; third, because the handle is stored independently after disassembly, parts such as screw sleeves, fixing blocks, and connecting blocks (paragraph 0018 of the specification) may be lost accidentally, affecting actual use; fourth, frequent installation and disassembly lead to wear between parts, causing the handle to wobble during use. Therefore, designing the handle and pot body as a detachable structure cannot eliminate the aforementioned problems.

[0005] Based on the existing technological situation, it is of positive significance to explore a cookware structure that can fully make up for the deficiencies of CN211795821U and is easy to store. The technical solution to be introduced below is generated in this context. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The objective of this invention is to provide a cookware with a foldable handle that allows for rapid switching between use and storage, achieving an ideal balance between kitchen operation and storage; ensures that the handle remains connected to the pot body while being well protected after folding, thus avoiding the risk of damage or loss due to separate storage; eliminates the possibility of the handle protruding outward relative to the pot body after folding, preventing it from snagging on other objects; and is ergonomically designed to meet the requirement of zero learning cost by avoiding any harsh operating factors that vary from person to person.

The limiting rivet 4231 is riveted to the aforementioned locking and unlocking plate seat 41 at the position corresponding to the limiting rivet hole 414 formed at the right end of the bottom wall of the sliding cavity of the lock plate. The right end of the locking and unlocking plate 42 is configured to lock or unlock the aforementioned locking tongue 32. Part 424, the latch seat hinge shaft 43 passes through the front hinge ear 415, the aforementioned latch seat hinge shaft hole 311 and the rear hinge ear 416 from front to back, and is limited by the latch seat hinge shaft limiting screw 4311 screwed into the latch seat hinge shaft screw hole 431 at the rear side corresponding to the rear hinge ear 416. The left end of the return spring 44 is supported on the aforementioned return spring left positioning support 412, and the right end of the return spring 44 is supported on the aforementioned return spring right positioning support 422, that is, supported in the cavity formed on the return spring right positioning support 422.

[0029] See you later Figure 2At the left end of the aforementioned latch locking and unlocking plate seat 41 and at the position corresponding to the left cavity opening of the lock plate sliding cavity 411, a lock plate sliding cavity left cavity opening sealing plate 417 is formed. At the left end, middle and right end of the latch locking and unlocking plate seat 41 and at the position corresponding to the upper opening of the lock plate sliding cavity 411, a pair of latch locking and unlocking plate stops 418 are formed in a folded-out state facing each other. The space between the aforementioned pair of latch locking and unlocking plate stops 418 located at the right end and the opposite side of the bottom wall of the aforementioned lock plate sliding cavity forms a latch action cavity 419. The aforementioned latch action part 414 and the aforementioned latch 32 each extend into the latch action cavity 419, and the latch action part 424 locks or unlocks the latch 32 within the latch action cavity 419.

[0030] Depend on Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a narrow flange 4121 is formed at the right end of the aforementioned left positioning support 412 of the reset spring, and the left end of the aforementioned reset spring 44 is positioned and supported on the narrow flange 4121.

[0031] See you later Figure 2 A front hinge hole 4151 is provided on the aforementioned front hinge ear 415, and a rear hinge hole 4161 is provided on the aforementioned rear hinge ear 416. The front and rear hinge holes 4151 and 4161 correspond to each other, and the front hinge hole 4151 is a circular hole, while the rear hinge hole 4161 is an elliptical hole. On the outer wall of the rear end of the aforementioned latch seat hinge shaft 43, and on both the left and right sides, there is a latch seat hinge shaft milling plane 432. When the rear end of the latch seat hinge shaft 43 passes through the front hinge hole 4151, the aforementioned latch seat hinge shaft hole 311, and the rear hinge hole 4161 in sequence, the latch seat hinge shaft milling plane 432 and the aforementioned rear hinge hole 4161 cooperate to prevent the latch seat hinge shaft 43 from rotating.

[0033] As can be seen from the above description, the travel distance of the aforementioned locking tongue unlocking plate 42 to the left or right is determined by the length of the aforementioned locking tongue unlocking plate sliding groove 423; the aforementioned lock plate operation finger buckle cavity 413 is obviously used to provide space for the sliding of the finger buckle 421.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 According to the applicant's statement above Figure 2After the locking / unlocking folding mechanism 4 is assembled with the handle 2 and the locking tongue mechanism 3 as described above, it is presented as... Figure 1 The situation shown.

[0035] Please see Figure 4 And combined Figure 2 When you want to move handle 2 from Figure 1 When the shown usage state changes to the storage state, the user applies a leftward (towards) force to the aforementioned finger clip 421 using their index finger. Figure 2 (As shown in the position state) the force of the latch is applied, at which point the latch 421 drives the locking and unlocking plate 42 to move to the left, and the return spring 44 is compressed and stores energy. The locking and unlocking plate 42 moves to the left, that is, in a direction away from the locking and unlocking mechanism 3, so the aforementioned locking and unlocking part 424 releases the restriction on the locking and unlocking plane 322 of the locking and unlocking plate 32, and at the same time, the upper arc surface 321 of the locking and unlocking plate 32 disengages from the side surface of the pair of locking and unlocking plate stops 418 on the right end facing the locking and unlocking cavity 419 (also known as "releasing"). In this state, as long as the handle 2 is held and the handle 2 is extended towards the pot body cavity 11, it can be opened. Figure 4 The image shows the retractable storage state. Conversely, it is in a collapsible state. Figure 1 The diagram shows the usable state. In the aforementioned process, the engagement between the latch seat hinge shaft 43 and the front and rear hinge ears 415 and 416, as well as the latch seat hinge shaft hole 311, functions as a movable joint. Furthermore, based on professional knowledge, in the process of… Figure 4 The state becomes Figure 1 After reaching the desired state, the restoring force of the aforementioned reset spring 44 will cause the locking tongue to lock the unlocking plate 42 to the right (towards...). Figure 2 Taking the position shown as an example, during sliding, the upper surface of the aforementioned latch action part 424 is in close contact with the latch plane 322 of the aforementioned latch 32, while the upper arc surface 321 of the latch (also referred to as the "latch upper surface") is in close contact with the pair of latch locking and unlocking plate stops 418 at the right end, that is, in close contact with the top surface or top wall of the latch action cavity 419, so as to ensure that the handle 2 is reliably in position. Figure 1 The state shown.

[0036] In summary, the technical solution provided by this invention makes up for the shortcomings of the prior art, successfully completes the invention task, and accurately realizes the technical effects described by the applicant in the above technical effects column.
