[0034] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods:

[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 13 A foldable handle comprises a base 1 and a handle unit 2, wherein the base 1 is mounted on a cookware 3, and the handle unit 2 is mounted on the base 1.

[0036] As one of the options, Fig.11 As shown, a mounting seat 31 is fixed on the pot 3, and the mounting seat 31 includes a mounting cavity 32, and a fixing block 33 is fixed in the mounting cavity 32, and a threaded hole 34 is opened on the fixing block 33. Figure 3As shown, one side of the base 1 includes a positioning block 11 that is adapted to the shape and size of the installation cavity 32, and at the same time, a notch 12 that is adapted to the shape and size of the fixing block 33 is opened on the positioning block 11, and a through hole 13 that is connected to the notch 12 is opened horizontally on the base 1, and a bolt is passed through the through hole. After passing through the through hole 13 and the notch 12, the bolt is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 34 on the fixing block 33, thereby fixing the base 1 on the cookware 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface of the base 1 is provided with an arc-shaped slide groove 4. When the handle unit 2 is not installed, the arc-shaped slide groove 4 is exposed, and the two ends of the arc-shaped slide groove 4 are not connected to each other, that is, a corresponding isolation strip 41 is left between the two ends thereof, and the side wall of the isolation strip 41 can play the role of limiting the handle unit 2, as described below for details.

[0038] In this embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a sliding groove 5 is longitudinally opened on the base 1, and the sliding groove 5 is connected to the arc-shaped sliding groove 4. The sliding groove 5 is defined by the molded ribs on the base 1 as three interconnected cavities, the cavities on the left and right sides serve as guide grooves 51, and the middle cavity 52 serves as a cavity for installing the elastic unit 6.

[0039] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the base 1 has a flange strip 14, which is U-shaped to form a receiving space 15. At the same time, an opening 16 is opened on the base 1 between the receiving space 15 and the sliding groove 5, and the opening 16 is connected to the receiving space 15 and the sliding groove 5 respectively.

[0040] Correspondingly, a partition unit 7 is provided, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the partition unit 7 includes a first portion 71 movably arranged in the sliding groove 5, a second portion 72 assembled at the opening 16, and a third portion 73 assembled at the accommodating space 15. After being assembled, the partition unit 7 can move vertically up and down. The bottom surface of the first portion 71 includes a guide column 711 for cooperating with the guide groove 51 and a limiting protrusion 712 for cooperating with the elastic unit 6. As one of the options, the limiting protrusion 712 is arranged at the middle position, and corresponding guide columns 711 are arranged on both sides thereof. The positions of the limiting protrusion 712 and the guide column 711 correspond to the three cavities of the sliding groove 5 respectively. The shape and size of the guide column 711 can also be adapted to the shape and size of the guide groove 51. The lower end of the elastic unit 6 abuts against the bottom surface of the sliding groove 5, and the upper end is sleeved on the limiting protrusion 712. And it abuts against the bottom surface of the first part 71 of the partition unit 7. The elastic unit 6 can be a spring, so that relying on the elastic effect of the elastic unit 6 on the partition unit 7, the partition unit 7 can be lifted to the upper part of the base 1 without external force, and at least part of it is located in the arc-shaped slide groove 4 to separate the arc-shaped slide groove 4, which is used for the circumferential limitation of the handle unit 2, as shown in the following description; and after pressing the partition unit 7 downward, the elastic unit 6 contracts, and the partition unit 7 leaves the arc-shaped slide groove 4, so that the components in the arc-shaped slide groove 4 can slide smoothly, as shown in the following description.

[0041] For handle unit 2, if Figure 6 As shown, it includes a handle portion 21 for the user to hold and a head portion 22 for matching with the base 1. When the handle unit 2 is installed on the base 1, the horizontal height of the lower edge of the handle portion 21 is higher than the horizontal height of the upper edge of the pot 3, so that it can be smoothly rotated to the top of the pot. The bottom surface of the head portion 22 of the handle unit 2 is provided with a first convex head 23 and a second convex head 24 for matching with the arc-shaped slide groove 4. As one option, the first convex head 23 and the second convex head 24 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the head portion 22 of the handle unit 2.

[0042] The width of the first protrusion 23 and the second protrusion 24 can be adapted to the width of the arc-shaped slide groove 4. After the first protrusion 23 and the second protrusion 24 are placed in the arc-shaped slide groove 4, the handle unit 2 can rely on the arc-shaped slide groove 4 to limit the first protrusion 23 and the second protrusion 24 so as to form a rotational matching relationship with the base 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the handle unit 2 is longitudinally limited on the base 1. Specifically, a first through hole 17 is longitudinally opened at the middle position of the base 1, and a second through hole corresponding to the position of the first through hole 17 is longitudinally opened on the head portion 22 of the handle unit 2. As one option, the second through hole includes a first hole portion 261 that is adapted to the shape and size of the first bolt 25 and a second hole portion 262 for installing the nut 27. The aperture of the second hole portion 262 can be adapted to the outer diameter of the corresponding nut 27. At the same time, a gasket mounted on the first bolt 25 can be arranged between the handle unit 2 and the base 1, and a bearing can be arranged between the nut 27 and the second hole portion 262. Figure 7 , Figure 8 shown.

[0044] After the handle unit 2 is assembled on the base 1, the first bolt 25 is inserted from below the first through-hole 17 and the upper end thereof is extended into the second through-hole. Then, the first bolt 25 is threadedly connected and locked with the nut 27, so that the handle unit 2 is longitudinally limited on the base 1. Combined with the matching relationship between the first protrusion 23, the second protrusion 24 and the arc-shaped slide groove 4, the handle unit 2 can be stably rotated on the base 1.

[0045] In this embodiment, a protective cover 28 is disposed at the second hole portion 262 . To prevent the protective cover 28 from rotating, a notch 281 may be provided on the protective cover 28 . Correspondingly, a rib that cooperates with the notch 281 is disposed at the second hole portion 262 .

[0046] like Fig. 9 , Fig.12 As shown in FIG. 1 , the handle unit 2 is in the first state of being unfolded outside the cookware, which is the state when the cookware is in use. In this state, the partition unit 7 is affected by the elastic unit 6, and the upper part of the first portion 71 thereof is located in the arc-shaped chute 4, dividing the arc-shaped chute 4 into two portions, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the first protrusion 23 and the second protrusion 24 are both located at one of the positions, that is, the first protrusion 23 and the second protrusion 24 are both located between the partition unit 7 and one end of the arc-shaped slide 4, the first protrusion 23 is against the end wall of the arc-shaped slide 4, and the second protrusion 24 is against the outer wall of one side of the first position 71 of the partition unit 7, and the outer wall on the side can be a straight arm to prevent the second protrusion 24 from detaching from the isolation unit 7 when the handle unit 2 is subjected to a large force, so as to prevent the handle unit 2 from being subjected to a large force. Fig. 9 Taking the direction as an example, in this state, the first protrusion 23 is affected by the end wall of the arc-shaped slide groove 4, so that the handle unit 2 cannot rotate counterclockwise; the second protrusion 24 is affected by the partition unit 7, so that the handle unit 2 cannot rotate clockwise, so that the handle unit 2 is circumferentially positioned in this state to improve the safety of the user when using the cookware.

[0047] like Fig.10, Fig.13 As shown, the handle unit 2 is in the second state of being folded above the cookware. In this state, the first protrusion 23 and the second protrusion 24 are respectively located on both sides of the isolation unit 7. After the isolation unit 7 is unlocked, the handle unit 2 can be rotated to the top of the cookware. Fig.13 The diagram shows a limit state in which the handle unit 2 is rotated to the top of the cookware. In the limit state, the second protrusion 24 abuts against the end wall of the other end of the arc-shaped chute 4, and the first protrusion 23 abuts against the other outer wall of the first portion 71 of the isolation unit 7. In this state, the side wall of the first portion 71 of the isolation unit 7 facing the second protrusion 24 can be an inclined wall or an arc wall 74, such as Figure 6 , Fig.10 As shown, when the user needs to use the cookware, the handle unit 2 can be directly restored to the first state by rotating the handle unit 2. During the rotation, the second protrusion 24 moves along the surface of the inclined wall or the arc wall 74, automatically pressing down the isolation unit 7, and finally moving away from the isolation unit 7, making the operation more labor-saving and convenient.
