Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a detachable pot ear. Background Art

[0002] Pot ears are ear-shaped components attached to the side of a pot, commonly used in soup pots and other similar applications. In the prior art, pot ears are typically fixed to the pot with rivets and are not removable. During use, once the pot is heated to a certain temperature, the ears can overheat, causing deformation or burning. One solution to this problem is to install detachable pot ears on the pot. These ears can be removed when the pot is heated and reattached when the pot needs to be lifted.

[0003] CN213882817U provides an aluminum pot with screw-fastened lugs for detachable connection. However, this detachable connection is intended to facilitate lug replacement. Screw fastening is clearly not suitable for convenient detachable connection of the lugs to the pot, and is more akin to a fixed connection. CN206166590U and CN212912751U both provide pots with detachable lugs, but the lugs are connected to the pot via a snap-fit ​​mechanism. This mechanism lacks stability and firmness, and failure of the mechanism could result in the pot falling or tipping over, a dangerous situation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing detachable pot ears, the utility model provides a detachable pot ear which is more stable in use and has a more reasonable structure.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model for solving the technical problem is as follows: the detachable pot ear comprises an ear block and a lifting operation block located below the ear block;

[0006] A lock plate and a rotating arm are provided between the ear block and the lifting operation block. The rotating arm is located below the lock plate.

[0008] The rear portion of the lock plate is connected to the lifting operation block via a lock plate rear rotation shaft, and the rear portion of the rotating arm is connected to the lifting operation block via a rotating arm rear rotation shaft;

[0009] The ear block is also provided with a locking-unlocking mechanism, which includes:

[0010] A movable plate capable of sliding back and forth is provided in the ear block, sliding wings extend from both sides of the movable plate, a slide groove is provided on the ear block, the sliding wings are inserted into the slide groove, a raised slide button is provided on the movable plate, a window is provided on the upper surface of the ear block, and the slide button is located in the window;

[0011] A spring is provided between the rear end of the movable plate and the ear block, and under the action of the spring, the movable plate has a tendency to keep moving;

[0012] The rear portion of the movable plate has a locking hook extending downwardly and facing the rear rotation axis of the lock plate, which lifts the lifting operation block upward, so that the lock plate rotates around the front rotation axis of the lock plate, the rotating arm rotates around the front rotation axis of the rotating arm, and the rear portion of the lock plate and the rear portion of the rotating arm tilt upward, and the rear rotation axis of the lock plate pushes the movable plate backward until the rear rotation axis of the lock plate hooks into the locking hook and is locked by the locking hook. At this time, the interlayer is narrower;

[0013] The movable plate is pushed backward by the sliding button so that the rear rotating shaft of the lock plate is disengaged from the lock hook, thereby achieving unlocking. After the rear rotating shaft of the lock plate is unlocked, the lock plate, rotating arm and lifting operation block are reset under the action of the tension spring.

[0014] Furthermore, the lock hook has an inclined surface that tilts from top to bottom and backwards, and the rear part of the lock plate is tilted upward, and the rear shaft of the lock plate presses against the inclined surface to push the movable plate backward until the rear shaft of the lock plate passes over the inclined surface and hooks into the lock hook.

[0015] Furthermore, there are two locking hooks.

[0016] Furthermore, when the movable plate has a tendency to keep moving under the action of the spring, the movable plate is limited by the front rotating shaft of the lock plate.

[0017] Furthermore, when the interlayer is in a wider state, the rotating arm is tilted from top to bottom and backward.

[0018] Furthermore, the ear block includes an ear block transverse portion and an ear block vertical portion extending downward from the front end of the ear block transverse portion, the front rotation axis of the lock plate is provided on the ear block transverse portion, and the front rotation axis of the rotating arm is provided on the ear block vertical portion;

[0020] Furthermore, the ear block has a hollow portion for the operating lifting block to enter.

[0021] Furthermore, the movable plate includes a plastic part and a metal part connected to the plastic part, the sliding button is arranged on the plastic part, and the locking hook is arranged on the metal part.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: using an interlayer to clamp the pot makes it more stable during use, has a more reasonable structure, and is easy to disassemble. The present invention uses a mechanism that links a lifting operation block, a locking plate, and a rotating arm to achieve a wider and tighter interlayer. The lifting operation block basically moves up and down during operation. When locking the pot through the interlayer, manually pinching the pot ears causes the lifting operation block to rise. The action of manually pinching the pot ears at this time further ensures that the lifting operation block will not fall and the interlayer is in a clamped state, thereby preventing the pot ears from loosening due to misoperation.

[0036] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0037] Reference Figures 1-12 The detachable pot ear includes an ear block 1 and a lifting operation block 2 located below the ear block 1.

[0038] A locking plate 3 and a rotating arm 4 are provided between the ear block 1 and the lifting operation block 2. The rotating arm 4 is located below the locking plate 3. The front end of the locking plate 3 passes through the ear block 1. A clip 5 is provided at the front end of the locking plate 3. A sandwich 6 is formed between the clip 5 and the front end surface of the ear block 1. When connected to the pot, the pot is clamped in the sandwich 6.

[0039] The middle portion of the lock plate 3 is connected to the ear block 1 via a front lock plate pivot shaft 7. Specifically, the front lock plate pivot shaft 7 passes through the middle portion of the lock plate 3, with both ends secured to the ear block 1. This allows the lock plate 3 to rotate about the front lock plate pivot shaft 7. The front portion of the pivot arm 4 is connected to the ear block 1 via a front pivot shaft 8. Specifically, the front pivot shaft 8 passes through the front portion of the pivot arm 4, with both ends secured to the ear block 1. This allows the pivot arm 4 to rotate about the front pivot shaft 8. An inclined tension spring 9 is located between the pivot arm front pivot shaft 8 and the lock plate 3. The front end of the tension spring 9 pulls against the front pivot shaft 8, while the rear end of the tension spring 9 pulls against the lock plate 3 behind the front lock plate pivot shaft 7. As a result, the lock plate 3 tilts upward under the elastic force of the tension spring 9, widening the interlayer 6 to allow a pot to fit within it. In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the hooking of the tension spring on the lock plate 3 , the lock plate 3 is provided with a downwardly folded hook plate 10 , and the rear end of the tension spring 9 is hooked on the hook plate 10 .

[0040] The rear portion of the lock plate 3 is connected to the lifting operation block 2 via a lock plate rear rotation shaft 11 , and the rear portion of the rotating arm 4 is connected to the lifting operation block 2 via a rotating arm rear rotation shaft 12 .

[0041] In one embodiment, when the interlayer 6 is in a wider state, the rotating arm 4 is in a state of being inclined from top to bottom and backward, the ear block 1 includes an ear block transverse portion 1-1 and an ear block vertical portion 1-2 extending downward from the front end of the ear block transverse portion 1-1, the lock plate front rotation axis 7 is provided on the ear block transverse portion 1-1, the rotating arm front rotation axis 8 is provided on the ear block vertical portion 1-2, and the interlayer 6 is formed between the clip 5 and the front end surface of the ear block vertical portion 1-2; the lifting operation block 2 includes a lifting operation block transverse portion 2-1 and a lifting operation block vertical portion 2-2, the lifting operation block transverse portion 2-1 is located below the ear block transverse portion 1-1, the lifting operation block vertical portion 2-2 is located behind the ear block vertical portion 1-2, the lock plate rear rotation axis 11 is provided on the lifting operation block transverse portion 2-1, and the rotating arm rear rotation axis 12 is provided on the lifting operation block vertical portion 2-2.

[0042] The ear block 1 is also provided with a locking-unlocking mechanism that can slide back and forth. When the pot needs to be clamped in the interlayer, the thumb presses the ear block 1 and the other fingers press the lifting operation block 2 to lift the lifting operation block 2 upward, thereby pinching the pot ear as a whole. After the lifting operation block 2 is lifted upward, the lock plate 3 rotates around the lock plate front shaft 7, the rotating arm 4 rotates around the rotating arm front shaft 8, and the rear of the lock plate 3 and the rear of the rotating arm 4 tilt upward. The lock plate rear shaft 11 is locked by the locking-unlocking mechanism. At this time, the interlayer 6 is narrower, and the pot can be clamped in the interlayer 6. In one embodiment, the ear block 1 has a hollow portion 13 for the lifting operation block 2 to enter, so that the ear block 1 and the lifting operation block 2 can be closer, and the structure is more compact.

[0043] By unlocking the locking-unlocking mechanism, the locking plate rear shaft 11 is unlocked and the locking plate 3, rotating arm 4 and lifting operation block 2 are reset under the action of the tension spring 9, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the pot ear from the pot.

[0044] The technical solution of the present invention utilizes an interlayer 6 to clamp the pot, resulting in greater stability during use, a more rational structure, and convenient disassembly. The present invention utilizes a mechanism that coordinates a lifting operation block 2, a locking plate 3, and a rotating arm 4 to achieve a wider and tighter interlayer 6. The lifting operation block 2 essentially performs an up-and-down movement during operation. When locking the pot via the interlayer 6, manually pinching the pot lugs raises the lifting operation block 2. The pinching of the pot lugs further ensures that the lifting operation block 2 will not descend, and that the interlayer 6 remains clamped, thus preventing the pot lugs from becoming loose due to misoperation.

[0045] In one embodiment, the specific structure of the locking-unlocking mechanism includes:

[0046] A movable plate 14 capable of sliding back and forth is provided within the ear block 1. A raised sliding button 15 is provided on the movable plate 14. A window 16 is provided on the upper surface of the ear block 1, and the sliding button 15 is located in the window 16. To facilitate the forward and backward sliding of the movable plate 14, sliding wings 17 extend from both sides of the movable plate 14. A sliding groove 18 is provided on the ear block 1, and the sliding wings 17 are inserted into the sliding groove 18.

[0047] A spring 19 is provided between the rear end of the movable plate 14 and the ear block 1. Under the action of the spring 19, the movable plate 14 has a tendency to move forward. In one embodiment, the movable plate 14 is limited by the locking plate front shaft 7.

[0048] The rear portion of the movable plate 14 has a locking hook 20 extending downward and facing the rear rotation shaft 11 of the locking plate. After the rear portion of the locking plate 3 and the rear portion of the rotating arm 4 are tilted upward, the rear rotation shaft 11 of the locking plate pushes the movable plate backward until the rear rotation shaft 11 of the locking plate is hooked into the locking hook 20 and locked by the locking hook 20. In one embodiment, the locking hook 20 has an inclined surface 21 that tilts from top to bottom and backward. When the rear portion of the locking plate 3 is tilted upward, the rear rotation shaft 11 of the locking plate presses against the inclined surface 21, thereby pushing the movable plate 14 backward until the rear rotation shaft 11 of the locking plate passes over the inclined surface 21 and is hooked into the locking hook 20. The sliding button 15 pushes the movable plate 14 backward so that the rear rotation shaft 11 of the locking plate is disengaged from the locking hook 20, thereby achieving unlocking. The number of the locking hooks 20 is not limited, but preferably two, which can more stably lock the rear rotation shaft 11 of the locking plate.

[0049] In order to ensure the strength of the lock hook, the movable plate 14 includes a plastic part 14-1 and a metal part 14-2 connected to the plastic part 14-1, the sliding button 15 is arranged on the plastic part 14-1, and the lock hook 20 is arranged on the metal part 14-2.
