It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0032] When the embodiments of the present invention mention ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second", unless they do express the meaning of order according to the context, they should be understood as being merely for distinction.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] Specific embodiments, such as Figure 1-5 A new type of clothesline handle structure shown in the figure comprises: a rotating member 1, on which a storage slot 2 and a connecting platform 3 arranged in the storage slot 2 are arranged, the rotating member 1 can rotate to drive the clothesline body to be wound thereon; a handle member 4, which is hinged on the connecting platform 3, the handle member 4 can be flipped to a folded state or an open state relative to the rotating member 1, the handle member 4 comprises a flip part 41, when the handle member 4 is in the folded state or the open state, the flip part 41 is stored in the storage slot 2, and the upper end surface of the flip part 41 is not higher than the upper end surface of the storage slot 2. The handle member 4 in the open state can be switched between the open state and the folded state, and the rotating member 1 can be driven to rotate by the handle member 4 in the open state, which is labor-saving and more ergonomic. When storing, the handle member 4 can be folded, and the overall volume is small and easy to carry. When in use, the handle component can be flipped relative to the rotating component to a folded state or an open state. The handle component includes a flipping portion. When the handle component is in the folded state or the open state, the flipping portion is stored in the storage groove and its upper end surface is not higher than the upper end surface of the storage groove, thereby preventing the handle component from protruding out of the rotating component, making packaging and transportation more convenient.

[0035] Specifically, it also includes a locking mechanism 5, which is arranged between the rotating member 1 and the handle member 4, and is used to limit the flipping of the flipping portion 41, so that the handle member 4 remains in a folded state or an open state. The locking mechanism is provided to limit the flipping of the handle member, so that the handle member remains in a folded state or an open state, and prevents the handle assembly from flipping during folding transportation or opening use, making packaging, transportation and use more convenient.

[0036] More specifically, the locking mechanism 5 includes: a locking groove 51, which is arranged between the rotating component 1 and the handle component 4; a locking protrusion 52, which is arranged between the rotating component 1 and the handle component 4 and corresponds to and matches the locking groove 51. When the handle component 4 is in a folded state or an opened state, the locking protrusion 52 cooperates with the locking groove 51 to provide resistance to prevent the handle component 4 from flipping over.

[0037] As an optional solution of the present application, the clamping groove 51 is provided on the handle member 4, and the clamping protrusion 52 is provided on the side of the connection platform 3 and corresponds to the clamping groove 51.

When in use, the handle member 4 is in the opened state, at which time the clamping protrusion 52 extends into the clamping groove 51 and cooperates with the clamping groove 51 to provide resistance to hinder the handle member 4 from turning over, so that the handle member 4 will not turn over easily when in the opened state, which is more convenient to use. When folding is required, a turning force is applied to the handle member 4 so that the handle member 4 overcomes the resistance and turns over to the folded state. At this time, the clamping protrusion 52 extends into the clamping groove 51 and cooperates with the clamping groove 51 to provide resistance to hinder the handle member 4 from turning over, so that the handle member 4 will not turn over easily when in the folded state, which is convenient for packaging and transportation. The same applies to the reverse.
