Frying pans are made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum alloy, and materials with non-stick coatings. Each material has its own unique advantages, such as durability, good thermal conductivity, and ease of cleaning, which can meet different cooking needs. Frying pans are suitable for a variety of cooking methods, whether frying, stir-frying, stewing, or baking. Their low rims prevent ingredients from slipping out, making them easy to pour out and clean. Furthermore, the pan's moderate weight makes it easy to stir-fry ingredients, adding flexibility and ease to the cooking process.
[0003] The existing frying pans require more space to store due to the long handles, which is especially important for families with limited kitchen space. The frying pans take up more space in cabinets or drawers, which can easily affect the cleanliness and placement of items in the kitchen. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] See also Figures 1 to 4 A frying pan with a foldable handle comprises a frying pan body 1, a connecting block 2 being fixedly connected to one side of the frying pan body 1, a first connecting plate 3 being fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 2, a fixed shaft 4 being rotatably connected to the inner side of the first connecting plate 3, a second connecting plate 5 being fixedly connected to one side of the fixed shaft 4, a connecting column 6 being rotatably connected to one side of the second connecting plate 5, a clamping plate 7 being slidably connected to the inside of the fixed shaft 4, and a clamping mechanism being fixedly connected to one side of the clamping plate 7.
[0023] The clamping mechanism includes a first spring 801 . An opening slot 802 is formed inside the fixed shaft 4 and the second connecting plate 5 . One end of the first spring 801 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the opening slot 802 .
[0024] A sliding block 803 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the clamping plate 7 , and the sliding block 803 is slidably connected to the opening groove 802 .
[0025] The internal thread of the connecting column 6 is connected to a screw rod 9 , one side of the screw rod 9 is fixedly connected to a first extension plate 10 , and the first extension plate 10 is slidably connected to the second connecting plate 5 .
[0026] The other end of the screw rod 9 is fixedly connected to the second extension plate 11 . An extension groove 12 is formed on one side of the inner wall of the first connecting plate 3 . The second extension plate 11 is loosely fitted in the extension groove 12 .
[0027] By providing the second extension plate 11 and the extension groove 12, after the second connecting plate 5 is received into the interior of the first connecting plate 3, the user can rotate the connecting column 6. After the connecting column 6 rotates, it drives the internal screw 9 to move to the left, so that the screw 9 pushes the second extension plate 11 located on its left side to move to the left, and then the second extension plate 11 enters the extension groove 12 on one side of the inner wall of the first connecting plate 3, thereby completing further fixation of the second connecting plate 5, strengthening the locking ability of the second connecting plate 5, and preventing the second connecting plate 5 from slipping out of the first connecting plate 3.
[0028] The side wall of the first extension plate 10 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 13 . A limiting groove 14 is defined inside the second connection plate 5 . The limiting block 13 is loosely fitted in the limiting groove 14 .
[0029] The limiting block 13 and the limiting slot 14 can limit the movement of the first extension plate 10 so that the first extension plate 10 does not shake forward and backward or up and down when moving left and right, thereby improving the stability of the first extension plate 10 when moving.
[0030] A second spring 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the first extension plate 10 , and one end of the second spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second connecting plate 5 .
[0031] By providing the second spring 15 , the second spring 15 applies elastic force to the first extension plate 10 , so that the connection between the screw rod 9 connected to the first extension plate 10 and the connection column 6 is tighter, thereby preventing the connection between the two from becoming loose.
[0032] A support column 16 is sleeved inside the second spring 15 , one end of the support column 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second connecting plate 5 , and the other end of the support column 16 passes through the inside of the first extension plate 10 , and the first extension plate 10 is slidably connected to the support column 16 .
[0033] By providing the support column 16, the support column 16 can play a supporting role inside the second spring 15, so that the second spring 15 is not easily bent or deformed after long-term use. In addition, the support column 16 slides relatively inside the first extension plate 10, which can limit and support the first extension plate 10, so that the first extension plate 10 is not easily shaken or displaced when sliding left and right outside the support column 16.
[0034] Working principle: In the initial state, the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 5 are in a line. When the second connecting plate 5 needs to be folded and retracted, the user presses the clamping plate 7 toward the side close to the second connecting plate 5, so that the clamping plate 7 moves away from the inside of the first connecting plate 3 and completely enters the inside of the second connecting plate 5. At this time, the second connecting plate 5 can be rotated and folded, so that the second connecting plate 5 rotates 180 degrees and enters the inside of the first connecting plate 3, thereby completing the folding of the pan handle. The folded pan handle, that is, the second connecting plate 5, will enter the inside of the first connecting plate 3. At this time, the overall length of the pan handle is the length of the first connecting plate 3. After the length of the pan handle is shortened, it is convenient for the user to store the pan body in a cabinet or drawer, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the cabinet or drawer.
[0035] Moreover, after the second connecting plate 5 is retracted, the sliding block 803 will be popped out under the elastic force of the first spring 801, thereby driving the snap-on plate 7 to pop out and enter the interior of the first connecting plate 3, thereby connecting and fixing the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 5, preventing the second connecting plate 5 from sliding out from the interior of the first connecting plate 3 when a frying pan is subsequently placed.
[0036] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0037] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
