[0022] In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar parts, and their repeated description will be omitted. It should be noted that in the present disclosure, the terms "including", "configured with", and "arranged on" are used to express open-ended inclusion and mean that in addition to the listed elements / components / etc., additional elements / components / etc. may exist; the terms "first", "second", etc. are used only as labels and do not limit the number or order of their objects; the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0023] Unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0024] This utility model discloses a handle structure, please refer to Figures 1 to 5The handle structure includes a panel 1, which includes a first mounting position 11 and a second mounting position 12. The first mounting position 11 and the second mounting position 12 are centrally symmetrically arranged. The handle body 2 can be detachably mounted on the first mounting position 11 or the second mounting position 12, so that the handle body 2 can be mounted on the opposite position of the panel 1 according to actual needs. A storage space 3 opened to one side is formed between the handle body 2 and the panel 1. When the user opens the door, the user's hand can be extended into the storage space 3 in a more convenient direction and pull the handle body 2 to open the door panel. When the handle body 2 is located at the first mounting position 11 and the second mounting position 12, respectively, the opening directions of the storage space 3 are opposite. When the handle structure is installed, the handle body 2 can be mounted on the first mounting position 11 or the second mounting position 12 according to actual needs. At this time, the direction of the storage space 3 is consistent with the opening direction of the door panel, so that the user can open the door panel more conveniently and with less effort.

[0025] In some embodiments, the handle body 2 includes a connecting end 21 and an operating end 22. The connecting end 21 is fixedly mounted on the panel 1. The panel 1, the connecting end 21 and the operating end 22 together form a accommodating space 3. The opening of the accommodating space 3 is away from one side of the connecting end 21. The operating end 22 is arranged parallel to the panel 1. According to actual needs, the orientation of the accommodating space 3 can be changed when the handle body 2 is installed on the panel 1, so that the user's hand can be inserted into the accommodating space 3 and the operating end 22 can be pulled to open the door.

[0026] It is understandable that the connecting end 21 and the operating end 22 can be integrally formed to avoid the connection between the connecting end 21 and the operating end 22 being broken due to a large force when opening and closing the door, thereby causing damage to the handle body 2.

[0027] Furthermore, in order to improve the aesthetics of the handle structure in actual application, in some embodiments, the connecting end 21 and the operating end 22 are both curved plates, which can maintain the aesthetics of the handle body 2 on the one hand; on the other hand, it can prevent the edge of the handle body 2 from being too sharp and hitting the user's hand when opening the door.

[0028] In some embodiments, the handle structure further includes a fixing member 4, which is installed between the panel 1 and the handle body 2 and is used to securely mount the panel 1 and the handle body 2 and maintain the stability of the connection between the panel 1 and the handle body 2. The fixing member 4 can be a fixing bolt, with fixing holes provided on the handle body 2 and the panel 1, respectively, and the fixing bolt extends into the fixing hole to stably secure the handle body 2 and the panel 1. The fixing member 4 can also be a clip, with a clip and a slot provided on the handle body 2 and the panel 1, respectively. On the one hand, the clip enables quick assembly and disassembly of the handle body 2 and the panel 1, simplifying the assembly and disassembly steps of the handle structure. On the other hand, when the clip is used for fixing, no additional holes are required between the handle body 2 and the panel, simplifying the manufacturing difficulty of the entire handle structure and reducing labor and material costs.

[0029] In order to enable the handle body 2 to be mounted on either the first mounting position 11 or the second mounting position 12 of the panel 1 through the fixing member 4, in some embodiments, the panel 1 is provided with symmetrically arranged mounting holes 10, which form the first mounting position 11 and the second mounting position 12. The fixing member 4 passes through the mounting holes 10 to fix the handle body 2 on the panel 1. When the handle body 2 is mounted on the panel 1, the handle body 2 can be mounted on the first mounting position 11 or the second mounting position 12 according to actual needs, so that the handle body 2 can be adjusted according to the direction of the door panel opening. At the same time, it also reduces the manufacturer's design cost for the handle structure. That is, a set of molds can be used to complete the design of the handle structure required for door panels that open in different directions. During installation, the installation position of the handle body 2 can be adjusted to make the orientation of the accommodating space 3 consistent with the opening direction of the door panel.

[0030] It is understood that in order to prevent unnecessary damage to the contact points between the fixing member 4, the panel 1, and the handle body 2 when the panel 1 and the handle body 2 are fixed together using the fixing member 4, thereby preventing damage to the overall aesthetics of the handle structure, in some embodiments, the handle structure further includes a cushion (not shown) disposed between the fixing member 4, the panel 1, and the handle body 2. When the fixing member 4 is used to install the handle body 2, the cushion protects the panel 1 and the handle body 2 from being damaged by the fixing member 4.

[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the handle structure further includes a mounting plate 5, which is detachably connected between the panel 1 and the handle body 2. On the one hand, the mounting plate 5 can be used as a decorative plate. When the handle body 2 is installed in the first mounting position 11, the mounting plate 5 can cover the second mounting position 12. Similarly, when the handle body 2 is installed in the second mounting position 12, the mounting plate 5 can cover the first mounting position 11, thereby enhancing the appearance of the entire handle structure. On the other hand, the mounting plate 5 is located between the panel 1 and the handle body 2, which can avoid direct contact between the panel 1 and the handle body 2. When the handle body 2 is collided, the force of the collision is prevented from directly acting on the panel 1, causing damage to the panel 1 and the handle body 2 at the same time. During maintenance, they need to be replaced as a whole, resulting in unnecessary cost losses.

[0032] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the mounting plate 5 includes a snap-on portion 51, which is snapped onto the edge of the panel 1 to achieve quick disassembly and assembly between the mounting plate 5 and the panel 1. The handle body 2 is installed on the mounting plate 5, and the mounting plate 5 can be quickly installed on the panel 1, making the disassembly and assembly between the handle body 2 and the panel 1 more convenient and reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0033] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mounting plate 5 includes an escape hole 52, and the panel 1 includes an operation panel (not shown). The operation panel extends out of the escape hole 52 and is exposed on the mounting plate 5. When the handle structure is installed in a smart door lock, the operation panel also includes an unlocking module, which can be a fingerprint or finger vein unlocking module, etc. When the hand is inserted into the accommodating space 3, the operation panel can be operated, expanding the use scenarios of the handle structure. In addition, the handle body 2 includes a through hole 20, which can be used to install a lock cylinder or a reverse button for opening the door.

[0034] The present invention provides a handle assembly comprising any of the aforementioned handle structures, wherein the handle structures include two handle bodies, one disposed on either side of a door panel to assist in door opening. The handle body 2 on one panel 1 can be mounted on the other panel 1. In other words, the handle bodies 2 of the two handle structures are interchangeable. This means that the orientation of the accommodation space 3 within the handle structure need not be considered during purchase and use. During installation, the two handle bodies 2 can be swapped according to the opening direction of the door panel. It is understood that the lock cylinder and reversal button installed within the through hole 20 can also be installed alternately. This provides consumers with greater freedom in choosing styles. Furthermore, manufacturers can utilize a single mold to produce a bidirectional handle body 2, saving mold and manufacturing costs, as the handle structure is reversible. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all changes that fall within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference sign in the claims should not be construed as limiting the claim involved.
