[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely illustrative and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that like reference numerals denote like items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it may not be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0023] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the frying pan, which is as follows:

[0024] A frying pan with a foldable handle, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a cookware 1, a mounting frame 2, a folding handle 3, a telescopic card rod 4, a return spring 5, a block 6 and a stabilizing component. The rear end of the cookware 1 is connected to the mounting frame 2, and a slide groove 7 is provided on the mounting frame 2. The telescopic card rod 4 is slidably connected in the slide groove 7. The telescopic card rod 4 consists of two sections of card rods. A return spring 5 is placed in the middle of the telescopic card rod 4 to push the two card rods apart from each other. The front end of the folding handle 3 is sleeved with the telescopic card rod 4, and the folding handle 3 is squeezed and fitted with the mounting frame 2. Blocks 6 are connected to both ends of the telescopic card rod 4. Grooves corresponding to the block 6 are provided at both ends of the slide groove 7. A stabilizing component for stabilizing the folding handle 3 is provided on the mounting frame 2.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the stabilizing component includes a magnet 9 and a magnetic sheet 10. A placement groove 8 is opened on the upper surface of the mounting frame 2, and the magnet 9 is placed in the placement groove 8. The magnetic sheet 10 is connected to the upper surface of the folding handle 3, and the magnetic poles of the magnet 9 and the magnetic sheet 10 that are in contact with the air are opposite.

[0026] After using the cookware 1 or when moving, traveling or cooking outdoors, clean the cookware 1 first, then squeeze the two ends of the telescopic card rod 4 toward the middle by hand, the two card rods slide against each other, the return spring 5 in the middle is compressed, so that the block 6 disengages from the slide groove 7, and the rest of the telescopic card rod 4 can slide and rotate in the slide groove 7. At this time, pull the folding handle 3 backward and flip it forward, the telescopic card rod 4 slides along the slide groove 7, release the telescopic card rod 4, and after the folding handle 3 completes the folding process, the telescopic card rod 4 extends to both ends under the action of the rebound force of the return spring 5, so that the block 6 is reinserted into the slide groove 7, restricting the rotation and sliding of the telescopic card rod 4. If the telescopic card rod 4 fails to extend automatically, manually turn the telescopic card rod 4. When the card block 6 is aligned with the groove of the slide slot 7, the card block 6 is not blocked, and the telescopic card rod 4 extends to both ends to complete the sliding restriction of the end of the folding handle 3. At the same time, the magnet 9 and the magnetic sheet 10 attract each other, and the generated magnetic attraction force is used to limit the rotation of the folding handle 3, thereby completing the folding process. When it needs to be used, the telescopic card rod 4 is squeezed with both hands, and then the folding handle 3 is rotated and pushed toward the mounting frame 2. After the telescopic card rod 4 is extended again, the folding handle 3 is unfolded. The user's force is always a laborious lever when using the cookware 1. The pressure generated by the weight of the cookware 1 provides a downward trend for the mounting frame 2, but the folding handle 3 can only be flipped upward, so the handle does not need additional fixation after unfolding.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a baffle 11 is also included. The mounting frame 2 is connected to the baffle 11. The baffle 11 is located on the upper surface of the magnet 9 and can prevent the magnet 9 from being contaminated with oil stains, which makes it difficult to clean.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes balls 12, and a plurality of balls 12 are connected to the connection between the folding handle 3 and the telescopic card rod 4. When the telescopic card rod 4 slides or rotates in the folding handle 3, the telescopic card rod 4 contacts the balls 12, and the balls 12 rotate to optimize the friction mode of the telescopic card rod 4. The balls 12 can change the sliding friction into rolling friction when the telescopic card rod 4 moves. When the return spring 5 pushes the telescopic card rod 4, the influence of the friction force is reduced, so that the position of the card block 6 is more accurate, and the user can also save effort when compressing the telescopic card rod 4.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, it also includes a handle 13. The handle 13 is connected to the folding handle 3 to provide an additional force point. Since the folding handle 3 is still tightly connected to the mounting frame 2, a large force is required when the folding handle 3 is just pulled to overcome the static friction of the connection. Especially after long-term use, the handle 13 can provide an additional force point to assist in pulling the folding handle 3. Moreover, after folding, the cavity at the top of the mounting frame 2 can accommodate the handle 13, and the handle 13 will not contact the mounting frame 2.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes rubber pads 14. The two ends of the telescopic card rod 4 are connected with rubber pads 14. When the telescopic card rod 4 is squeezed from both ends, the rubber pads 14 can increase the force-bearing area and optimize the experience of the squeezing process.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a hook 15 is also included. The bottom of the mounting frame 2 is connected to the hook 15. After the folding handle 3 of the pot 1 is folded, the hook 15 at the bottom of the mounting frame 2 can be used to hang the pot 1, shortening the vertical height.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a protective pad 16 is also included. The top of the pot 1 is connected to the mounting frame 2. The protective pad 16 is used to cushion the friction between the folding handle 3 and the pot 1 after the folding handle 3 is folded. The protective pad 16 can protect the surface quality of the folding handle 3 and prevent it from contacting the edge of the pot 1 after folding, thereby causing scratches.

[0033] After finishing cooking and cleaning the pot 1, the user squeezes the telescopic lever 4, which has soft rubber pads 14 attached to both ends, toward the center. The rubber pads 14 not only increase the force-bearing area but also optimize the tactile experience of squeezing. As the levers slide against each other, the return spring 5 is compressed, and the block 6 subsequently disengages from the chute 7, unlocking the fixed state of the folding handle 3. At this point, the user can easily pull the folding handle 3 back and flip it forward. The telescopic lever 4 slides smoothly within the chute 7. The setting of the ball bearing 12 converts sliding friction into rolling friction, further reducing resistance. When the folding handle 3 reaches the predetermined position, the return spring 5 rebounds, pushing the telescopic lever 4 to extend toward both ends. The block 6 is precisely reinserted into the groove of the chute 7, stabilizing the folded state of the folding handle 3. At the same time, the magnet 9 on the mounting bracket 2 and the magnetic plate 10 on the folding handle 3 attract each other, further enhancing the stability of the folding handle 3 through magnetic attraction. Furthermore, the grip 13 on the folding handle 3 provides an additional point of force for the user, facilitating operation. The protective pad 16 between the cookware 1 and the mounting frame 2 effectively prevents direct friction between the folding handle 3 and the cookware 1, protecting both surfaces. Finally, the hook 15 at the bottom of the mounting frame 2 allows the folded cookware 1 to be easily hung for storage and portability.
