Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drawer handle technology, and more specifically, to a novel movable drawer handle. Background Technology

[0002] During the movement or relocation of cabinets, drawers may tend to slide out of the cabinet due to shaking, tilting, or other reasons. To prevent drawers from sliding out of the cabinet and causing stored items to scatter or resulting in safety accidents, some cabinet handles have a limit function to lock the drawers in place. This limit function is especially important for cabinets that are frequently moved or relocated.

[0003] However, existing products of this type still have room for improvement. For example, the Chinese utility model patent "A drawer limiting mechanism that is easy to assemble" (authorization announcement number: CN206687470U) reduces the upper positioning block of the movable locking hook. The hook plate can only rely on the rear positioning block for force on the back side of the drawer panel. The positioning points are few and the reliability is insufficient. In addition, the contact between the movable locking hook and the drawer panel is concentrated and the contact area is small. When the drawer is loaded with heavy objects, it requires a lot of force to pull the drawer. The contact area between the movable locking hook and the drawer panel is subjected to a large tensile force, which is easy to deform or even damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology and provide a new type of drawer handle; the drawer handle has multiple positioning measures to ensure that it will not come out of the drawer panel, has good reliability, prevents deformation and damage, and is easy to install.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a novel drawer handle, installed on a drawer panel, includes a drawer handle plate and a movable locking hook; the movable locking hook includes a locking plate and a mounting plate; the mounting plate is installed on the drawer handle plate and located on the front side of the drawer panel; a rotating support plate and a front positioning block are respectively connected to the rear side of the mounting plate; the rotating support plate is inserted into the drawer panel to form a rotating fulcrum; the front positioning block abuts against the front side of the drawer panel;

[0006] The locking plate includes a locking hook strip, a hook body, an upper locking hook support strip, and a lower locking hook support strip; the front end of the locking hook strip is connected to the mounting plate, and the rear end of the locking hook strip extends through a mounting hole in the drawer panel to the rear side of the drawer panel; the hook body is connected to the rear end of the locking hook strip; the lower locking hook support strip is connected below the locking hook strip and abuts against the rear side of the drawer panel via an elastic element; the upper locking hook support strip is connected above the locking hook and abuts against the rear side of the drawer panel; the upper locking hook support strip is a long and narrow upper locking hook support strip extending towards the mounting plate; an adjustable opening is formed between the upper locking hook support strip and the locking hook strip.

[0007] This utility model of a drawer pull handle utilizes multiple positioning measures—an upper and lower support bar for the locking hook—to ensure the locking plate will not detach from the drawer panel, thus improving product reliability. Furthermore, it increases the contact area with the back of the drawer panel. When the drawer is pulled outwards, the upper and lower support bars, along with the rotating support plate, simultaneously apply force to the back of the drawer panel, enhancing the connection and preventing deformation and damage. During installation, after the locking plate passes through the first mounting hole in the drawer panel, a tool can be used to widen the opening between the upper and lower support bars, allowing the upper support bar to abut against the area above the first mounting hole in the drawer panel, conveniently achieving a limiting effect and ensuring the upper support bar is positioned behind the drawer panel.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating support plate is connected to the upper edge of the mounting plate, and the front positioning block is connected to the lower edge of the mounting plate.

[0009] Compared to traditional products, the rotating support plate is positioned higher, and the angle between the line connecting the pivot point of the rotating support plate and the highest point of the hook and the horizontal line is reduced. Therefore, when rotating around the pivot point by the same angle, the structure with a smaller angle to the horizontal line can achieve a larger vertical displacement component. That is, when the drawer handle is rotated by the same angle, the hook moves up and down more. The locking and opening operation of the drawer handle is more sensitive and smoother, improving user comfort. In addition, the rotating support plate and the front positioning block are located on the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate, respectively, making them easier to manufacture.

[0010] Preferably, the front positioning block is connected to the lower edge of the mounting plate near the lock plate. The area of ​​the mounting plate near the lock plate, and the corresponding drawer panel area near the drawer side panel connection, have good strength and are not easily deformed. Connecting the front positioning block to the mounting plate near the lock plate prevents the drawer panel from denting or deforming, thus ensuring effective positioning of the front positioning block. The area of ​​the mounting plate near the lock plate has high strength, and connecting the front positioning block here improves mechanical strength.

[0011] Preferably, the locking hook bar, the hook body, and the lower locking hook support bar are all located on the same plane.

[0012] Preferably, when the locking hook bar rotates to its lower limit position, the lower edge of the area behind the lower support bar of the locking hook bar is parallel to the horizontal line or forms an angle of less than or equal to 5°. In this embodiment, the lower limit position of the locking hook bar refers to the position when the lower support bar of the locking hook touches the back of the drawer panel; this setting can avoid abnormal noise and poor feel when the locking hook bar rotates downwards and triggers the guide rail below, and also leaves enough space for the installation of the drawer guide rail and the drawer to be pulled out.

[0013] Preferably, the movable locking hook is integrally formed.

[0014] Preferably, the rotating support plate is inserted into the second mounting hole in the drawer panel; the portion of the rotating support plate located on the rear side of the drawer panel is provided with a positioning part; the positioning part refers to a protrusion on the rotating support plate that protrudes upward or downward.

[0015] Preferably, the drawer handle plate is fitted with a pull sleeve, and a positioning structure is provided between the drawer handle plate and the pull sleeve.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model of drawer handle features multiple positioning measures to ensure that the locking plate will not come off the drawer panel, thus improving product reliability; it can also increase the contact area with the back of the drawer panel, improving the firmness of the connection between the handle and the drawer, and preventing deformation and damage; it is easy to install and can ensure effective positioning of the support strip on the locking hook.

[0018] 2. The locking and opening operation of the drawer handle of this utility model are more sensitive and smoother, which can improve the user's comfort.

[0019] 3. The movable drawer handle of this utility model can ensure effective positioning between the front positioning block and the drawer panel;

[0020] 4. The drawer handle of this utility model can prevent the locking hook from contacting the drawer guide rail below when it rotates downward, thus avoiding abnormal noise and poor feel. It also leaves enough space for the installation of the drawer guide rail and the drawer to be pulled out. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a novel movable drawer handle, installed on the drawer panel 1, including a drawer handle plate 2 and a movable locking hook 3. The movable locking hook 3 is integrally formed. The movable locking hook 3 includes a locking plate and a mounting plate 31; the mounting plate 31 is installed on the drawer handle plate 2 and is located on the front side of the drawer panel 1; a rotating support plate 32 and a front positioning block 33 are respectively connected to the rear side of the mounting plate 31, and the rotating support plate 32 and the front positioning block 33 are arranged vertically; the rotating support plate 32 is inserted into the drawer panel 1 to form a rotation fulcrum; the front positioning block 33 abuts against the front side of the drawer panel 1.

[0031] The locking plate includes a locking hook strip 34, a hook body 37, an upper locking hook support strip 36, and a lower locking hook support strip 35. The front end of the locking hook strip 34 is connected to the mounting plate 31, and the rear end of the locking hook strip 34 extends through the mounting hole 11 of the drawer panel 1 and extends to the rear side of the drawer panel 1. The hook body 37 is connected to the rear end of the locking hook strip 34. The lower locking hook support strip 35 is connected below the locking hook strip 34 and abuts against the rear side of the drawer panel 1 through an elastic element 4. The upper locking hook support strip 36 is connected above the locking hook and abuts against the rear side of the drawer panel 1.

[0032] The installation method of the drawer handle of this utility model is as follows: first, install the movable locking hook 3 on the drawer handle plate 2, then insert the rotating support plate of the movable locking hook 3 into the mounting hole 11 of the drawer panel 1, and at the same time, the locking plate passes through the mounting hole 12 of the drawer panel 1; put the elastic element 4 on the lower support bar 35 of the locking hook, adjust it to abut against the rear side of the drawer panel 1, and abut the upper support bar 36 of the locking hook against the rear side of the drawer panel 1.

[0033] This utility model's drawer pull handle uses an upper hook support bar 36 and a lower hook support bar 35 to be positioned against the rear side of the drawer panel 1. This multiple positioning measure ensures that the locking plate will not come off the drawer panel 1, improving product reliability. In addition, it can also increase the contact area with the rear side of the drawer panel 1. When the drawer is pulled outward, the upper hook support bar 36, the lower hook support bar 35, and the rotating support plate 32 simultaneously apply force to the rear side of the drawer panel 1, improving the firmness of the connection between the handle and the drawer and preventing deformation and damage.

[0034] The locking hook bar 34, the hook body 37, and the lower support bar 35 of the locking hook are all located on the same plane.

[0035] The upper support bar 36 of the lock hook is a long and narrow bar extending toward the mounting plate 31; an adjustable opening is formed between the upper support bar 36 and the lock hook bar 34. After the lock plate passes through the mounting hole 11 of the drawer panel 1, the opening between the upper support bar 36 and the lock hook bar 34 can be widened using a tool, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the upper support bar 36 of the lock hook abuts against the area above the mounting hole 11 of the drawer panel 1, which conveniently achieves the limiting function and ensures that the upper support bar of the lock hook is positioned on the back side of the drawer panel.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the locking hook bar 34 rotates to the lower limit position, such as Figure 5 As shown, the lower edge of the area behind the lower support bar 35 of the locking hook strip 34 is parallel to the horizontal line. In this embodiment, the lower limit position of the locking hook strip 34 refers to the position when the lower support bar 35 of the locking hook touches the rear side of the drawer panel 1; this setting can avoid abnormal noise and poor feel when the locking hook strip 34 rotates downwards and triggers the drawer guide rail below, and also leaves enough space for the installation of the drawer guide rail and the drawer to be pulled out. In practical applications, when the locking hook strip is rotated to the lower limit position, the lower edge of the area behind the lower support bar of the locking hook strip can also form a small angle with the horizontal line, for example, an angle less than or equal to 5°.

[0037] The rotating support plate 32 is inserted into the mounting hole 12 of the drawer panel 1; the part of the rotating support plate 32 located on the rear side of the drawer panel 1 is provided with a positioning part; the positioning part refers to the protrusion on the rotating support plate 32 that protrudes upward or downward.

[0038] The rotating support plate 32 is connected to the upper edge of the mounting plate 31, and the front positioning block 33 is connected to the lower edge of the mounting plate 31.

[0039] Compared to traditional products, the rotating support plate 32 is positioned higher, and the angle between the line connecting the rotation fulcrum formed by the rotating support plate 32 and the highest point of the hook body 37 and the horizontal line is reduced. Therefore, when rotating around the rotation fulcrum by the same angle, the structure with a smaller angle to the horizontal line can obtain a larger vertical displacement component; that is, when the drawer handle is rotated by the same angle, the hook body 37 moves up and down more. The locking and opening operation of the drawer handle is more sensitive and smoother, improving user comfort. In addition, the rotating support plate 32 and the front positioning block 33 are located on the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate 31, respectively, making them easier to manufacture.

[0040] In this embodiment, the front positioning block 33 is connected to the lower edge of the mounting plate 31 near the locking plate. This is a preferred solution. The area of ​​the mounting plate 31 near the locking plate is opposite to the drawer panel 1 near the drawer side panel connection. This area of ​​the drawer panel 1 has good strength and is not easily deformed. Connecting the front positioning block 33 to the area of ​​the mounting plate 31 near the locking plate can prevent the drawer panel 1 from denting and deforming, thus ensuring the effective positioning of the front positioning block 33. The area of ​​the mounting plate 31 near the locking plate has high strength, and connecting the front positioning block 33 here can improve mechanical strength. In practical applications, the front positioning block can also be connected to any area of ​​the lower edge of the mounting plate.

[0041] Example 2

For example, the drawer handle plate 2 has a retaining strip 21, the pull sleeve 22 is fitted on the retaining strip 21, and a positioning structure 23 is provided between the drawer handle plate 2 and the pull sleeve 22.

[0043] The rest of the structure in this embodiment is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0044] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
