[0004] Currently, the locking piece on the handle can be directly touched. When grasping the handle or taking the pot body, the hand accidentally touches the locking piece and causes the handle to flip up, causing danger during use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a handle assembly and a cooking utensil to solve the problem in the related art that the handle is turned over due to the hand accidentally touching the locking piece.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the utility model, a handle assembly is provided, which is connected to a pot body, and the handle assembly includes: a handle, including a connecting section and an operating section, the connecting section is connected to the pot body, the operating section is flippably connected to the connecting section, and the operating section has an operating position extending along the transverse direction and a storage position flipped relative to the connecting section; a locking member, which is movably arranged on one of the connecting section and the operating section, and can lock the operating section to the operating position; an interference member, which is flippably arranged at the locking member, and has an interference position that interferes with the movement of the locking member and a release position that avoids the movement of the locking member.

[0007] By applying the technical solution of the utility model, the interference piece can be flipped and arranged at the locking piece, and has an interference position that interferes with the movement of the locking piece and a release position that avoids the movement of the locking piece. When the interference piece is in the interference position, the locking piece cannot move, and the operating section remains in the operating position, so as to avoid the flipping of the operating section caused by the hand accidentally touching the locking piece. When it is necessary to flip the operating section, the interference piece can be quickly changed from the interference position to the release position, at which time the locking piece can unlock the lock of the operating section, and then the operating section can be flipped. In this way, since the interference piece is provided, the hand has an additional operating action, and before the interference piece is not operated, even if the hand accidentally touches the locking piece, the locking piece will not move, which can reduce the danger of the handle in use. Therefore, the technical solution of the present application effectively solves the problem of the handle flipping caused by the hand accidentally touching the locking piece in the related art.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking member is movably disposed in one of the connecting section and the operating section, the locking member has an operating area, and a circumvention hole for circumventing the operating area is disposed on the connecting section or the operating section, and when the interference member is in the interference position, the interference member blocks the circumvention hole. In this way, the interference member can isolate the hand from the operating area, effectively preventing the hand from accidentally touching the locking member.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to prevent the interference member from falling off the operating section, the first end of the interference member is flippably arranged on the operating section, and the second end of the interference member can be clamped on the operating section.

It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once a certain item is defined in an accompanying drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present application provides a handle assembly, which is connected to the pot body 20. The handle assembly includes: a handle 10 and a locking member 30. The handle 10 includes a connecting section 11 and an operating section 12. The connecting section 11 is connected to the pot body 20, and the operating section 12 is reversibly connected to the connecting section 11. The operating section 12 has an operating position extending in a transverse direction and a storage position flipped relative to the connecting section 11. The locking member 30 is movably arranged on the operating section 12 and is capable of locking the operating section 12 to the operating position. The interference member 40 is reversibly arranged at the locking member 30, and has an interference position that interferes with the movement of the locking member 30 and a release position that avoids the movement of the locking member 30.

[0032] The technical solution of this embodiment is applied. Since the interference member 40 is disposed at the locking member 30 in a flippable manner and has an interference position for interfering with the movement of the locking member 30 and a release position for avoiding the movement of the locking member 30. When the interference member 40 is in the interference position, the locking member 30 cannot move, and the operating section 12 remains in the operating position, so as to avoid the flipping of the operating section 12 caused by the hand accidentally touching the locking member 30. When the operating section 12 needs to be flipped, the interference member 40 can be quickly changed from the interference position to the release position. At this time, the locking member 30 can unlock the locking of the operating section 12, and then the operating section 12 can be flipped. In this way, since the interference member 40 is provided, the hand has an additional operation action. Before the interference member 40 is not operated, even if the hand accidentally touches the locking member 30, the locking member 30 will not move, which can reduce the danger of the handle in use. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of the handle flipping caused by the hand accidentally touching the locking member in the related art.

[0033] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "horizontal" is horizontal or at an angle of less than 30 degrees to the horizontal; the operating section in this embodiment extends horizontally; in other embodiments, a part of the operating section extends horizontally, and another part of the operating section extends in other directions.

[0034] The position of the interference member 40 at the locking member 30 is determined according to the setting position of the locking member. In this embodiment, when the locking member 30 is set on the operating section, the interference member is set on the operating section. In other embodiments, when the locking member 30 is set on the connecting section, the interference member is set on the connecting portion.

[0035] In other embodiments, the locking member is movably disposed on the connecting section, and when the locking member is capable of unlocking the locking of the operating section, the operating section is avoided, and the operating section is flipped between the operating position and the storage position.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking member 30 is movably disposed in the operating section 12. In this way, the locking member 30 moves in the operating section 12, limiting the range of movement of the locking member 30, and facilitating the manual operation of the locking member 30. The locking member 30 has an operating area 31, and the operating section 12 is provided with an avoidance hole 121 for avoiding the operating area 31. When the interference member 40 is in the interference position, the interference member 40 blocks the avoidance hole 121. In this way, the interference member 40 can isolate the hand from the operating area 31, effectively preventing the hand from accidentally touching the locking member 30.

[0037] In other embodiments, the locking member is movably disposed in the connecting section, and a avoidance hole for avoiding the operating area is disposed on the connecting section.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the locking member 30 is movably arranged on the operating section 12, and the interference member 40 is flippably arranged on the operating section 12. In this way, the interference member can move with the operating section 12, and at the same time, the interference member 40 can be flipped relative to the operating section 12, so that the interference member 40 can be flipped between the interference position and the release position.

[0039] In other embodiments, the interference member is slidably or rotatably disposed on the operating section.

[0040] Specifically, the locking member is movably disposed on the operating section 12 , and the locking member is a push button.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to prevent the interference member 40 from falling off the operating section 12 , the first end of the interference member 40 is flippably disposed on the operating section 12 , and the second end of the interference member 40 can be stuck on the operating section 12 .

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking member 30 has an operating area 31, and the operating section 12 is provided with an avoidance hole 121 for avoiding the operating area 31. When the interference member 40 is in the interference position, the interference member 40 blocks the avoidance hole 121, and the second end of the interference member 40 is stuck in the avoidance hole 121. In this way, on the one hand, the interference member 40 can be reliably stuck on the operating section 12, and on the other hand, it can effectively block the avoidance hole 121 to interfere with the operating area 31.

[0043] Specifically, the first end of the interference member 40 is provided with a flexible connection section, the operating section 12 includes a housing and a support frame provided in the housing, the locking member 30 is movably provided on the support frame, and after the flexible connection section passes through the outer wall of the housing from the outside to the inside of the housing, the free end of the flexible connection section is clamped between the support frame and the inner wall of the housing to connect the first end of the interference member 40 to the operating section 12. The interference member 40 is an interference sheet.

[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second end of the interference member 40 is provided with a flip-open portion 41, and the flip-open portion 41 is protruded from the first end of the interference member 40 to the second end of the interference member 40. When the interference member 40 is in the interference position, an avoidance gap 42 is formed between the flip-open portion 41 and the operating section 12. In this way, the avoidance gap 42 is used to avoid fingers, so that the fingers can fully contact the flip-open portion 41, and the flip-open portion 41 is lifted to operate the flip-open portion 41 to flip around the first end of the interference member 40, thereby facilitating the interference member 40 to flip from the interference position to the release position.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in order to enable the interference member 40 to be stably maintained at the interference position, a positioning structure 50 is provided between the operating section 12 and the interference member 40 . When the interference member 40 is at the interference position, the interference member 40 is positioned on the operating section 12 by the positioning structure 50 .

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning structure 50 includes a positioning recess 51 and a positioning protrusion 52 that is positioned and matched with the positioning recess 51. The positioning recess 51 is arranged on the operating section 12, and the positioning protrusion 52 is arranged on the interference member 40. In this way, the positioning and matching of the positioning recess 51 and the positioning protrusion 52 can make the interference member more reliably positioned on the operating section.

[0047] Specifically, the positioning protrusion 52 is a positioning column or a positioning block, and the positioning recess 51 is a positioning hole or a positioning groove.

[0048] In other embodiments, the positioning protrusion is provided on the operating section, and the positioning recess is provided on the interference member.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate processing, production and assembly, and to facilitate movement between the interference position and the release position, the interference member 40 is a silicone member. In this way, the interference member 40 is easy to deform and is easy to move between the interference position and the release position. Of course, in other embodiments, the interference member 40 is a plastic member or a metal member.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the operating section 12 is flipably connected to the connecting section 11 through the pivot 13, the locking member 30 is movably arranged on the operating section 12, the connecting section 11 is provided with a first abutting surface 111, and the locking member 30 is provided with a second abutting surface 32 that can abut against the first abutting surface 111. When the first abutting surface 111 abuts against the second abutting surface 32, the operating section 12 is locked to the operating position. At this time, the operating section 12 can be stably maintained in the operating position. When the second abutting surface 32 is separated from the first abutting surface 111, the operating section 12 can be flipped between the operating position and the storage position.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the operating section 12 is held by one hand, in order to facilitate the one-handed operation of the locking member 30 so as to move the locking member 30, the locking member 30 is movably arranged in the operating section 12, and the handle assembly further includes an abutment member arranged in the operating section 12. The abutment member is located at one side of the end of the connecting section 11 extending into the operating section 12, and when a part of the locking member 30 is pressed between the operating section 12 and the abutment member, the first abutment surface 111 abuts against the second abutment surface 32. When the operating section 12 is held, the operating section 12 will generate a downward turning force relative to the connecting section 11, and since a part of the locking member 30 is pressed between the operating section 12 and the abutment member, the locking member 30 will press against the abutment member upward, and the abutment member will apply a strong downward pressure to the locking member 30 to prevent the above-mentioned turning force, thereby ensuring that the operating section 12 can be reliably and stably maintained in the operating position.

[0052] In this embodiment, the locking member 30 is movably arranged in the operating section 12, and the handle assembly further includes an elastic member arranged between the operating section 12 and the locking member 30. The elastic member applies elastic force to the locking member 30 along the moving direction of the locking member 30, and a first stop surface is arranged on the connecting section 11, and a second stop surface is arranged on the connecting section 11. In order to make the operating section 12 stay in the operating position or the storage position after the flip, there is a preset angle between the second stop surface and the first stop surface. When the locking member 30 stops and cooperates with the first stop surface, and under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member, the operating section 12 remains in the operating position. When the locking member 30 stops and cooperates with the second stop surface, and under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member, the operating section 12 remains in the storage position. In this way, under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member, it can be ensured that the locking member 30 stops and cooperates with the first stop surface reliably, or it can be ensured that the locking member 30 stops and cooperates with the second stop surface reliably, and the stability of the operating section 12 remaining in the operating position or the storage position is further improved.

[0053] The present application also provides a cooking utensil, which includes a pot body 20 and a handle assembly connected to the pot body 20, and the handle assembly is the above-mentioned handle assembly. Since the above-mentioned handle assembly can solve the problem of the handle flipping due to the hand accidentally touching the locking member in the related art, the cooking utensil including the handle assembly can solve the same technical problem.

[0054] The cooking utensil of the present embodiment is an air fryer. Of course, in embodiments not shown in the figure, the cooking utensil can also be a toaster, an electric pressure cooker, an electric rice cooker, a low-pressure rice cooker, a soybean milk maker, a food processor, a cooking machine, an electric stew pot, a multi-function pot and other products.

[0055] In the description of the present utility model, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

[0056] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" may include both "above" and "below". The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0057] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0058] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
