[0040] The support column 11 passes through the central through hole 311 of the button bracket 31 and enters the tube body 20; the locking button 32 is installed in the installation notch 312. The locking button 32 can rotate within the installation notch 312 to be embedded in or disengaged from the locking groove 111.

[0041] The locking button 32 can be switched to lock in different locking grooves 111 of the support column 11, thereby adjusting the height of the tube body 20 so that the head assembly 100 can adapt to cookware of different heights.

[0042] Further, a first installation portion 313 is provided on the inner wall of the central through hole 311, and a first fastening hole 314 is provided in the first installation portion 313; a second installation portion 21 corresponding to the first installation portion 313 is provided on the inner wall of the tube body 20, and a second fastening hole 22 corresponding to the first fastening hole 314 is provided in the second installation portion 21; the button bracket 31 and the tube body 20 are connected by a fastener passing through the first fastening hole 314 and the second fastening hole 22.

[0043] Specifically, the first installation portion 313 can specifically be an installation piece, the first fastening hole 314 can specifically be a screw hole, the number of the first installation portions 313 is multiple, for example, two, and they are evenly distributed.

[0047] Pressing the button portion 322 can thus disengage the locking hook portion 321 from the locking groove 111. At this time, the height of the pipe body 20 can be adjusted, and even the pipe body 20 can be separated from the column body of the base 10, so as to realize the disassembly of the head assembly 100, facilitating the cleaning of the head assembly 100. Specifically, after the pipe body 20 rises to the last locking groove 111, pressing the button portion 322 can disengage the locking hook portion 321 from the last locking groove 111, and then pulling the pipe body 20 upward can disengage the pipe body 20 from the base 10, facilitating the cleaning of the stains inside the pipe body 20 and the base 10. At the same time, the button bracket 31 and the locking button 32 can also be disassembled for cleaning.

[0048] After releasing the button portion 322, under the action of the torsion spring 324, the locking hook portion 321 of the locking button 32 hooks into the locking groove 111 of the support column 11, thereby realizing the fixing of the pipe body 20 to the column body of the base 10.

[0049] Further, a button hole 23 corresponding to the button portion 322 is provided on the pipe body 20, the button portion 322 is embedded in the button hole 23, and the button portion 322 is exposed outside the pipe body 20.

[0050] The button portion 322 being exposed outside the pipe body 20 facilitates the user to press the button portion 322, thereby realizing the height adjustment operation.

[0051] Further, a guiding groove 317 is provided inside the central through hole 311 of the button bracket 31, a guiding rib 112 corresponding to the guiding groove 317 is provided on the outer side of the support column 11, and the guiding rib 112 is embedded in the guiding groove 317.

[0052] By embedding the guiding rib 112 in the guiding groove 317, it can have a good guiding effect on the movement of the pipe body 20, and at the same time, it is also convenient for positioning during assembly.

[0053] Further, the upper edge 113 of the side wall at the bottom side of the locking groove 111 is a right angle without a chamfer, so as to prevent the locking hook portion 321 of the locking button 32 from sliding out under excessive external force due to the excessive weight of the head assembly 100, resulting in the failure of the limit.
