[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-6 A retractable valve handle comprises a first handle 1 and a second handle 2. A slide groove 5 and a circular groove 6 are provided on both sides of the first handle 1. The circular groove 6 is connected to the end of the slide groove 5. The first handle 1 can be inserted into the accommodating groove 7 of the second handle 2. The second handle 2 is provided with a pair of ears 3 at one end close to the first handle 1. The inner surface of the ear 3 is provided with a slider 4 that forms a sliding fit with the slide groove 5. The slider 4 can rotate in the circular groove 6. When the slider 4 is located in the slide groove 5, the second handle 2 can be moved along the length direction of the first handle 1 so that it can be retracted. When the slider 4 is located in the circular groove 6, the second handle 2 can be flipped or folded. At this time, the length of the telescopic handle reaches a minimum of the length of the first handle 1, and the telescopic handle can be driven to rotate by the flipped second handle 2 in a narrow space, which is more convenient.

[0026] Furthermore, the top of the second handle 2 is provided with a threaded tube 8 integrally formed therewith, and the inner thread of the threaded tube 8 is connected to a knob 9 at the bottom which can be pressed against the first handle 1. When the telescopic handle is adjusted to a suitable length, the knob 9 is rotated so that the knob 9 is pressed against the first handle 1, thereby fixing the telescopic handle at this length.

[0027] Furthermore, a positioning hole 10 is formed at one end of the first handle 1 adjacent to the second handle 2, and a positioning column 11 capable of being inserted into the positioning hole 10 is fixed in the accommodating groove 7, so that when the second handle 2 is subjected to pressure in the up and down directions and during normal rotation, the positioning column 11 and the slider 4 can jointly bear the force, thereby improving the strength of the second handle 2 and making it less likely to deform at the connection with the first handle 1.

[0028] Furthermore, a first spring 12 is sleeved on the positioning column 11, one end of the first spring 12 can be against the first handle 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second handle 2. If the telescopic handle is only restricted by one wall during rotation, then when the telescopic handle approaches the wall, the second handle 2 can be controlled by hand to retract toward the first handle 1, and when the telescopic handle is rotated back to its original position, the second handle 2 can be automatically pushed back by the first spring 12, thereby further improving operability.

[0029] Furthermore, one end of the slide groove 5 adjacent to the second handle 2 passes through the first handle 1, and a pair of L-shaped slots 13 are opened on the first handle 1 near the second handle 2. The slots 13 are communicated with the slide groove 5, and a plug plate 14 elastically connected to the first handle 1 is inserted in the slot 13. A lever 15 located in the top outlet of the slot 13 is fixed to the top of the plug plate 14. When installing the second handle 2, the plug plate 14 is first pushed back into the slot 13 by the lever 15, and then the slider 4 is inserted from one end of the slide groove 5 opening, and finally the lever 15 is released, and the plug plate 14 enters the slide groove 5 under the action of elastic force, thereby completing the installation of the second handle 2. The plug plate 14 can prevent the slider 4 from detaching from the slide groove 5, thereby facilitating its disassembly and assembly.

[0030] Furthermore, a second spring 16 is fixed to the inner end of the plug plate 14 , and the other end of the second spring 16 is fixed to the inner wall of the slot 13 , so that an elastic connection can be formed between the plug plate 14 and the first handle 1 through the second spring 16 .

[0031] Working principle: When the slider 4 is located in the slide groove 5, the second handle 2 can be moved along the length direction of the first handle 1, so that it can be extended and retracted. When the slider 4 is located in the circular groove 6, the second handle 2 can be flipped or folded. At this time, the length of the telescopic handle reaches the minimum length of the first handle 1, and the flipped second handle 2 can be used to drive the telescopic handle to rotate in a small space, which is more convenient.

[0032] When the telescopic handle is adjusted to a suitable length, the knob 9 is turned so that the knob 9 is pressed against the first handle 1, thereby fixing the telescopic handle at this length;

[0033] If the telescopic handle is restricted by only one wall during rotation, when the telescopic handle is close to the wall, the second handle 2 can be manually controlled to retract toward the first handle 1, and when the telescopic handle is rotated back to its original position, the second handle 2 can be automatically pushed back by the first spring 12, thereby further improving operability;

[0034] When installing the second handle 2, first push the plug plate 14 back into the slot 13 through the lever 15, then insert the slider 4 from the open end of the slide groove 5, and finally release the lever 15. The plug plate 14 enters the slide groove 5 under the action of elastic force, thus completing the installation of the second handle 2. The plug plate 14 can prevent the slider 4 from detaching from the slide groove 5, thereby facilitating its disassembly and assembly.
