Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking utensil technology, specifically to a fixed bracket, a handle assembly, and a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] Cooking appliances, such as electric kettles, generally include a kettle body and a handle located on the side of the kettle. Figure 1 As shown, in order to connect the handle to the body of the kettle, it is usually necessary to open a screw through hole 501' on the side wall of the kettle body 5'. The screw passes through the screw through hole 501' from inside the kettle body 5' and is threaded to the handle, thereby fixing the handle to the kettle body 5'.

[0003] However, this fixing method requires drilling holes in the surface of the kettle body (5'), which can easily allow water or food to seep out through the holes. The screw head comes into direct contact with food or water, which can easily cause corrosion and rust on the screw surface. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a fixed bracket, a handle assembly, and a cooking utensil to solve the problems in the related art where the handle fixing method easily causes the cooking utensil to leak water, affects the appearance of the cooking utensil, and easily causes corrosion and rust on the surface of the screw.

[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a fixing bracket for connecting the handle of a cooking utensil, comprising:

[0006] The main support is used to connect the kettle body;

[0007] A first pressing part and a first connecting part are formed on the bracket body. The first pressing part is used to cooperate with a second pressing part on the handle. The first pressing part is one of a pressing groove and a pressing protrusion. The second pressing part is the other of a pressing groove and a pressing protrusion. When the pressing protrusion is inserted into the pressing groove, it can drive the handle to move towards the bracket body and align the first connecting part with the second connecting part on the handle. The first connecting part can be fixedly connected to the second connecting part.

[0008] Beneficial effects: In the use of the fixed bracket of this utility model embodiment, the bracket body can be connected to the pot body. Then, the operator can insert the pressing protrusion into the pressing groove, so that the handle moves toward the bracket body under the action of the pressing component and is pressed tightly onto the pot body, thereby preventing the gap between the handle and the pot body after assembly, which would cause the handle to shake or make abnormal noise during use. Then, the first connecting part and the second connecting part are connected to fix the handle to the fixed bracket, thereby completing the assembly of the handle.

[0009] Therefore, the fixed bracket of this utility model embodiment can replace the handle to connect to the body of the pot, thereby reliably connecting the handle to the body of the pot without drilling holes in the surface of the pot, thus avoiding the risk of water leakage caused by drilling holes, as well as the defect of screw rusting caused by screws coming into contact with water.

[0010] Based on this, the bracket body of the fixed bracket in this application embodiment can be used to set a first connecting part and a pressing protrusion, which helps to improve the relative positional accuracy between the first connecting part and the pressing protrusion, and can effectively avoid gaps between the handle and the body of the pot after the handle is assembled, or interference with the lid and other structures.

[0011] The fixed bracket of this application embodiment can overcome the risk of water leakage during the installation of the handle in the prior art, as well as the defect of screws rusting due to contact with water. It can also prevent gaps between the handle and the body of the pot or interference with the lid and other structures after the handle is assembled.

[0012] In one alternative embodiment, the pressing protrusion includes a fixing tongue disposed on the support body, the fixing tongue passing through the pressing groove and having an interference fit with the groove wall of the pressing groove.

[0013] Beneficial effects: With this configuration, the retaining tongue can abut against the side wall of the pressure groove facing the handle, thereby applying a force to the pressure groove in the direction close to the body of the pot, so that the handle is pressed firmly against the body of the pot, and the cooking utensil is prevented from shaking or making abnormal noises during use.

[0014] In one optional embodiment, the first pressing portion and the first connecting portion are spaced apart along the length direction of the bracket body;

[0015] The fixed tongue includes:

[0016] The connecting segment is connected to the fixed bracket and extends in a direction away from the fixed bracket;

[0017] The abutting section is used to abut against the pressing groove. One end of the abutting section is connected to the connecting section, and the other end extends in the direction close to the first connecting part.

[0018] Beneficial effects: With this design, the fixing tongue can not only press the handle tightly against the body of the pot, but also limit the handle to a certain extent, preventing the handle from moving in the direction close to the first connecting part. The first connecting part can connect with the second connecting part, thereby preventing the fixing tongue from loosening and completely limiting the handle to the body of the pot.

[0019] In one alternative embodiment, the fixing tongue further includes:

[0020] The inlet section is connected to the abutment section, and in the direction away from the connection section, the inlet section is inclined in the direction away from the support body.

[0021] Beneficial effect: The inlet section can increase the gap between the fixing tongue and the fixing bracket, thereby making it easier for the fixing tongue to be inserted into the pressure groove.

[0022] In one alternative embodiment, there are at least two first pressing portions, which are spaced apart along the length of the support body.

[0023] Beneficial effect: With this setting, at least two fixing tongues can ensure that the upper and lower ends of the handle fit against the body of the pot, thereby ensuring that the entire handle is pressed tightly against the body of the pot, so as to avoid gaps between the handle assembly and the body of the pot, or interference with the lid and other structures after the handle assembly is completed.

[0024] In one alternative embodiment, the first connecting part includes a first connecting hole provided on the fixed bracket, and the handle assembly further includes a screw that can pass through a second connecting hole on the handle and connect to the first connecting hole.

[0025] Beneficial effect: The bolt can pass through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole in sequence, and reliably connect the handle to the fixed bracket.

[0026] The handle assembly of this application embodiment uses a pressing component and a bolt connection component to cooperate so that a single screw can reliably connect the handle assembly to the kettle body, simplifying the assembly process of the handle assembly.

[0027] In one alternative embodiment, the axes of the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are set at an angle to the vertical direction.

[0028] In one alternative embodiment, along the tightening direction of the screw, the axis of the first connecting hole is inclined toward the direction of the fixed bracket, and the angle between the axis of the first connecting hole and the vertical direction is θ, 10°≤θ≤30°.

[0029] Beneficial effects: This design facilitates the installation of the handle, and the tightening force applied by the bolt to the handle has a component force in the direction of the pot body. The bolt can apply a pre-tightening force to the handle in the process of connecting with the second connecting hole and the first connecting hole, so as to move the handle towards the pot body, thereby pressing the handle more reliably onto the pot body, thus preventing the handle from shaking or making abnormal noises during the use of the cooking utensil.

[0030] In one alternative embodiment, a connecting piece is also formed on the support body, the plane of the connecting piece is set at an angle to the horizontal plane and abuts against the lower wall of the receiving groove, and a first connecting hole is provided on the connecting piece.

[0031] Beneficial effects: With this setup, when the operator inserts the pressing protrusion into the pressing groove, the first connecting hole can be aligned with the second connecting hole. Then, the operator can pass the screw through the second connecting hole and thread it into the first connecting hole. During this process, the bolt can apply a preload force to the handle to make the handle move upward, thereby deepening the insertion depth between the fixing tongue and the pressing groove, and thus making the handle fit tightly against the body of the kettle.

[0032] Secondly, this utility model also provides a handle assembly, comprising:

[0033] The fixing bracket provided in the first aspect of this utility model includes a first pressing part and a first connecting part;

[0034] The handle has a second pressing part and a second connecting part. The first pressing part is one of a pressing groove and a pressing protrusion, and the second pressing part is the other of a pressing groove and a pressing protrusion. When the pressing protrusion is inserted into the pressing groove, it can drive the handle to move towards the fixed bracket and align the first connecting part with the second connecting part on the handle. The first connecting part can be fixedly connected to the second connecting part.

[0035] Beneficial effects: The handle assembly of the second aspect of this utility model includes or uses the fixing bracket of the first aspect of this utility model, and therefore has its beneficial effects, namely: the handle assembly of this utility model embodiment can use the fixing bracket to connect to the body of the pot instead of the handle, thereby reliably connecting the handle to the body of the pot without drilling holes in the surface of the pot, thereby avoiding the risk of water leakage caused by drilling holes, as well as the defect of screw rusting caused by screws coming into contact with water.

[0036] Based on this, the fixing bracket of the handle assembly in this application embodiment can be used to set a first connecting part and a pressing protrusion, which helps to improve the relative positional accuracy between the first connecting part and the pressing protrusion, and can effectively avoid gaps between the handle and the body of the pot after the handle is assembled, or interference with the lid or other structures.

[0037] The handle assembly of this application can overcome the risk of water leakage during the installation of the handle assembly in the prior art, as well as the defect of screws rusting due to contact with water. It can also avoid gaps between the handle assembly and the body of the kettle, or interference with the lid or other structures after the handle assembly is completed.

[0038] In one optional embodiment, the second pressing part is a pressing groove, the handle is provided with a protrusion, the pressing groove is provided on the protrusion, and the extending direction forms an angle with the distance direction between the fixed bracket and the handle.

[0039] In one alternative embodiment, the pressing groove has an abutting wall that is disposed opposite to the handle, and the abutting wall is inclined toward the handle along the direction in which the pressing protrusion is inserted into the pressing groove.

[0040] Beneficial effects: With this configuration, the pressure wall can first contact the fixing tongue with a thinner part, which makes it easier for the fixing tongue to be inserted into the pressure groove. During the process of the fixing tongue being inserted into the pressure groove, the thickness of the part of the pressure wall that contacts the fixing tongue can gradually increase, thereby applying a certain pre-tightening force to the fixing tongue, so as to reliably press the handle onto the fixed bracket.

[0041] In one alternative embodiment, the second connection portion includes a second connection hole through which a screw passes and connects to the first connection hole of the fixing bracket.

[0042] Beneficial effects: The handle assembly of this application embodiment cooperates with the pressing component and the bolt connection component so that a single screw can reliably connect the handle assembly to the kettle body, simplifying the assembly process of the handle assembly.

[0043] In one alternative embodiment, a receiving groove is provided on one side of the handle, a second connecting hole is provided on the lower wall of the receiving groove, a connecting piece is provided on the fixing bracket, the connecting piece can be disposed in the receiving groove and abut against the lower wall of the receiving groove, and a first connecting hole is provided on the connecting piece.

[0044] Beneficial effects: With this setup, when the operator inserts the pressing protrusion into the pressing groove, the first connecting hole can be aligned with the second connecting hole. Then, the operator can pass the screw through the second connecting hole and thread it into the first connecting hole. During this process, the bolt can apply a preload force to the handle to make the handle move upward, thereby deepening the insertion depth between the fixing tongue and the pressing groove, and thus making the handle fit tightly against the body of the kettle.

[0045] In one alternative embodiment, a screw groove is formed at the bottom of the handle, which communicates with a second connecting hole. A screw passes through the second connecting hole and the first connecting hole, with the screw head pressing against the screw groove.

[0046] Beneficial effect: With this design, the screw slot can limit the screw head and prevent the screw head from being exposed, thus affecting the aesthetics of the handle.

[0047] Thirdly, this utility model also provides a cooking utensil, comprising:

[0048] The body of the teapot;

[0049] The handle assembly provided in the third aspect of this utility model is connected to the body of the kettle.

[0068] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0069] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 9 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0070] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a fixed bracket 1 is provided, comprising: a bracket body, a first pressing part, and a first connecting part 401. The bracket body is used to connect to the kettle body 5. The first pressing part and the first connecting part 401 are formed on the bracket body. The first pressing part is used to cooperate with a second pressing part on the handle 2. The first pressing part is one of a pressing groove 302 and a pressing protrusion 301, and the second pressing part is the other of a pressing groove 302 and a pressing protrusion 301. When the pressing protrusion 301 is inserted into the pressing groove 302, it can drive the handle 2 to move towards the bracket body, and align the first connecting part 401 with the second connecting part 402 on the handle 2. The first connecting part 401 can be fixedly connected to the second connecting part 402.

[0071] In the use of the fixed bracket 1 of this utility model embodiment, the bracket body can be connected to the pot body 5. Then, the operator can insert the pressing protrusion 301 into the pressing groove 302, so that the handle 2 moves toward the bracket body under the action of the pressing component 3 and is pressed tightly onto the pot body 5, thereby preventing the gap between the handle 2 and the pot body 5 after assembly, which would cause the handle 2 to shake or make abnormal noise during use. Then, the first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 402 are connected to fix the handle 2 to the fixed bracket 1, thereby completing the assembly of the handle 2.

[0072] Therefore, the fixed bracket 1 of this utility model embodiment can replace the handle 2 to connect with the body 5, thereby reliably connecting the handle assembly to the body 5 without opening holes in the surface of the body 5, thereby avoiding the risk of water leakage caused by opening holes, as well as the defect of the screw 403 rusting due to contact with water.

[0073] Based on this, the bracket body of the fixed bracket 1 in this application embodiment can be used to set the first connecting part 401 and the pressing protrusion 301, which helps to improve the relative positional accuracy between the first connecting part 401 and the pressing protrusion 301, and can effectively avoid gaps between the handle assembly and the body 5 after the handle assembly is completed, or interference with the lid and other structures.

[0074] The fixed bracket 1 of this application embodiment can overcome the risk of water leakage during the installation of the handle assembly in the prior art, as well as the defect that the screw 403 rusts when it comes into contact with water. It can also prevent gaps from appearing between the handle assembly and the body of the pot 5, or interference with the lid or other structures, after the handle assembly is completed.

[0075] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined.

[0076] In one embodiment, the bracket body of the fixing bracket 1 may be welded to the kettle body 5, such as by resistance spot welding or laser welding. The fixing bracket 1 is preferably made of a metal material, such as stainless steel.

[0077] As an alternative implementation, the fixing bracket 1 can also be adhesively connected to the kettle body 5.

[0078] In one embodiment, the pressing protrusion 301 includes a fixing tongue disposed on the support body, the fixing tongue passing through the pressing groove 302 and having an interference fit with the groove wall of the pressing groove 302.

[0079] With this configuration, the fixing tongue can abut against the side wall of the pressure groove 302 facing the handle 2, thereby applying a force to the pressure groove 302 in the direction close to the pot body 5, so that the handle 2 is pressed tightly onto the pot body 5, and the cooking utensil is prevented from shaking or making abnormal noises during use.

[0080] The fixing tongue is preferably made of an elastic material, such as stainless steel.

[0081] As an alternative implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the fixed bracket 1 is provided with a protrusion 303, and a pressing groove 302 is provided on the protrusion 303, and the extending direction forms an angle between the fixed bracket 1 and the distance direction of the handle 2.

[0082] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first pressing part and the first connecting part 401 are spaced apart along the length of the bracket body. The fixing tongue includes a connecting section 3011 and a pressing section 3012.

[0083] The connecting section 3011 is connected to the fixed bracket 1 and extends in a direction away from the fixed bracket 1. The abutting section 3012 is used to abut against the pressing groove 302. One end of the abutting section 3012 is connected to the connecting section 3011, and the other end extends in a direction close to the first connecting part 401.

[0084] With this configuration, the fixing tongue can not only press the handle onto the body 5, but also limit the handle to a certain extent, preventing the handle from moving in the direction close to the first connecting part 401. The first connecting part 401 can be connected to the second connecting part 402, thereby preventing the fixing tongue from loosening and completely limiting the handle onto the body 5.

[0085] The interference fit between the abutting section 3012 and the groove wall of the pressing groove 302 can be set according to parameters such as the width and thickness of the fixing tongue.

[0086] For example, in a preferred embodiment, the interference fit between the fixing tongue and the groove wall of the pressing groove 302 is L, where 0.2mm≤L≤0.7mm.

[0087] In a preferred embodiment, 0.5mm ≤ L ≤ 0.7mm.

[0088] As an alternative implementation, the first connecting portion 401 may also be located on one side of the connecting segment 3011, or at the end of the connecting segment 3011 away from the abutting segment 3012.

[0089] In one embodiment, the fixing tongue further includes an inlet segment 3013.

[0090] The guide section 3013 is connected to the abutment section 3012. Along the direction away from the connecting section 3011, the guide section 3013 is inclined in the direction away from the support body.

[0091] The inlet section 3013 can increase the gap between the fixing tongue and the fixing bracket 1, thereby facilitating the insertion of the fixing tongue into the pressure groove 302.

[0092] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the pressing groove 302 is a through groove that passes through both ends of the protrusion 303. With this arrangement, the fixing tongue can pass through the pressing groove 302 when it is inserted into it. A part of the pressing section can abut against the groove wall of the pressing groove 302 at the end of the pressing groove 302 away from the connecting section 3011, thereby making the connection between the fixing tongue and the pressing groove 302 more reliable and preventing the fixing tongue from coming out of the pressing groove 302 under the action of external force.

[0093] In one embodiment, the extending direction of the abutment section 3012 is parallel to the length direction of the fixed bracket 1.

[0094] As an alternative implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the abutment section 3012 may also be configured to be inclined toward the body of the kettle 5 in the direction approaching the first connecting portion 401.

[0095] As another alternative implementation, in another embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the abutting section 3012 may also be configured to tilt away from the body 5 in the direction approaching the first connecting portion 401, but the tilt angle is smaller than the tilt angle of the pressing wall.

[0096] In one embodiment, there are at least two first pressing parts, which are spaced apart along the length of the support body.

[0097] With this configuration, at least two fixing tongues can ensure that the upper and lower ends of the handle 2 fit against the body 5 respectively, thereby ensuring that the entire handle 2 is pressed tightly against the body 5, so as to avoid gaps between the handle assembly and the body 5 or interference with structures such as the lid after the handle assembly is assembled.

[0098] In one embodiment, the first connecting portion 401 is located below the fixing tongue.

[0099] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, the number of fixed tongues is not limited.

[0100] For example, in such Figure 7In the illustrated embodiment, the fixing bracket 1 is provided with two fixing tongues. One fixing tongue is located at the upper end of the fixing bracket 1, and the other fixing tongue is located near the lower end of the fixing bracket 1. The first connecting part 401 is located below the two fixing tongues. This ensures that the fixing tongues can reliably press the entire handle 2 onto the kettle body 5 without increasing the manufacturing cost of the handle assembly.

[0101] As a variation of the implementation, in some embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the number of fixing tongues may also be three or four. In one embodiment, the first connecting part 401 includes a first connecting hole 4011 provided on the fixing bracket 1, and the handle assembly further includes a screw 403, which can pass through a second connecting hole on the handle 2 and connect to the first connecting hole 4011.

[0102] The bolt can pass through the first connecting hole 4011 and the second connecting hole in sequence, and reliably connect the handle 2 to the fixed bracket 1.

[0103] The handle assembly of this embodiment cooperates with the bolt connection assembly through the pressing assembly 3, so that a single screw 403 can reliably connect the handle assembly to the kettle body 5, simplifying the assembly process of the handle assembly.

[0104] In one embodiment, the axes of the first connecting hole 4011 and the second connecting hole are set at an angle to the vertical direction.

[0105] In one embodiment, along the tightening direction of the screw 403, the axis of the first connecting hole 4011 is inclined toward the direction of the fixed bracket 1, and the angle between the axis of the first connecting hole 4011 and the vertical direction is θ, 10°≤θ≤30°.

[0106] This design facilitates the installation of the handle 2. At the same time, the tightening force applied by the bolt to the handle 2 has a component force in the direction of the pot body 5. The bolt can apply a preload force to the handle 2 in the process of connecting with the second connecting hole and the first connecting hole 4011, so as to move the handle 2 toward the pot body 5, thereby pressing the handle 2 more reliably onto the pot body 5, thus preventing the handle 2 from shaking or making abnormal noise during the use of the cooking utensil.

[0107] In a preferred embodiment, θ = 19°.

[0108] In one embodiment, a connecting piece 4012 is also formed on the bracket body. The plane of the connecting piece 4012 forms an angle with the horizontal plane and abuts against the lower wall of the receiving groove 201. A first connecting hole 4011 is provided on the connecting piece 4012.

[0109] With this configuration, when the operator inserts the pressing protrusion 301 into the pressing groove 302, the first connecting hole 4011 can be aligned with the second connecting hole. Then, the operator can pass the screw 403 through the second connecting hole and thread it into the first connecting hole 4011. During this process, the bolt can apply a preload force to the handle 2 to make the handle 2 move upward, thereby deepening the insertion depth between the fixing tongue and the pressing groove 302, and thus making the handle fit tightly against the body 5.

[0110] According to an embodiment of the present invention, another aspect provides a handle assembly, including a fixing bracket 1 and a handle 2. The fixing bracket 1 is the fixing bracket 1 provided in the first aspect of the present invention, including a first pressing portion and a first connecting portion 401.

[0111] The handle 2 is provided with a second pressing part and a second connecting part 402. The first pressing part is one of the pressing groove 302 and the pressing protrusion 301, and the second pressing part is the other of the pressing groove 302 and the pressing protrusion 301. When the pressing protrusion 301 is inserted into the pressing groove 302, it can drive the handle 2 to move towards the bracket body of the fixed bracket 1, and make the first connecting part 401 aligned with the second connecting part 402 on the handle 2. The first connecting part 401 can be fixedly connected to the second connecting part 402.

[0112] In one embodiment, the fixing bracket 1 is a sheet-like component, and the fixing tongue and connecting piece 4012 are formed on the bracket body of the fixing bracket 1 by a stamping process.

[0113] As an alternative implementation, the fixing tongue and connecting piece 4012 can also be connected to the fixing bracket 1 by means of welding or bolting.

[0114] The handle assembly of the second aspect of this utility model includes or uses the fixing bracket 1 of the first aspect of this utility model, and therefore has the beneficial effect that: the handle assembly of this utility model embodiment can use the fixing bracket 1 to replace the handle 2 to connect to the kettle body 5, thereby reliably connecting the handle 2 to the kettle body 5 without opening a hole in the surface of the kettle body 5, thereby avoiding the risk of water leakage caused by opening a hole, as well as the defect of the screw 403 rusting due to contact with water.

[0115] Based on this, the fixing bracket 1 of the handle assembly in this application embodiment can be used to set the first connecting part 401 and the pressing protrusion 301, which helps to improve the relative positional accuracy between the first connecting part 401 and the pressing protrusion 301, and can effectively avoid gaps between the handle 2 and the body 5 or interference with the lid and other structures after the handle 2 is assembled.

[0116] The handle assembly of this application can overcome the risk of water leakage during the installation of the handle assembly in the prior art, as well as the defect that the screw 403 rusts when it comes into contact with water. It can also avoid gaps between the handle assembly and the body 5, or interference with the lid or other structures after the handle assembly is completed.

[0117] In one embodiment, the second pressing part is a pressing groove 302, and the handle 2 is provided with a protrusion 303. The pressing groove 302 is provided on the protrusion 303, and the extending direction forms an angle with the distance direction between the fixed bracket 1 and the handle 2.

[0118] In one embodiment, the pressing groove 302 has an abutting wall 3021, which is disposed opposite to the handle 2. Along the direction in which the pressing protrusion 301 is inserted into the pressing groove 302, the abutting wall 3021 is inclined toward the direction of the handle 2.

[0119] With this configuration, the pressure wall can first contact the fixing tongue with a smaller thickness, which facilitates the insertion of the fixing tongue into the pressure groove 302. During the process of the fixing tongue being inserted into the pressure groove 302, the thickness of the part of the pressure wall that contacts the fixing tongue can gradually increase, thereby applying a certain pre-tightening force to the fixing tongue, so as to reliably press the handle onto the fixed bracket 1.

[0120] In one embodiment, the second connecting portion 402 includes a second connecting hole through which a screw 403 passes and connects to the first connecting hole 4011 of the fixing bracket 1.

[0121] The bolt can pass through the first connecting hole 4011 and the second connecting hole in sequence, and reliably connect the handle 2 to the fixed bracket 1.

[0122] The handle assembly of this embodiment cooperates with the bolt connection assembly through the pressing assembly 3, so that a single screw 403 can reliably connect the handle assembly to the kettle body 5, simplifying the assembly process of the handle assembly.

[0123] In one embodiment, a receiving groove 201 is provided on one side of the handle 2, a second connecting hole is provided on the lower wall of the receiving groove 201, a connecting piece 4012 is provided on the fixing bracket 1, the connecting piece 4012 can be disposed in the receiving groove 201 and abut against the lower wall of the receiving groove 201, and a first connecting hole 4011 is provided on the connecting piece 4012.

[0124] With this configuration, when the operator inserts the pressing protrusion 301 into the pressing groove 302, the first connecting hole 4011 can be aligned with the second connecting hole. Then, the operator can pass the screw 403 through the second connecting hole and thread it into the first connecting hole 4011. During this process, the bolt can apply a preload force to the handle 2 to make the handle 2 move upward, thereby deepening the insertion depth between the fixing tongue and the pressing groove 302, and thus making the handle fit tightly against the body 5.

[0125] In one embodiment, a screw groove 202 is formed at the bottom of the handle 2. The screw groove 202 is connected to the second connecting hole. The screw 403 passes through the second connecting hole and the first connecting hole 4011, and the screw head of the screw 403 presses against the screw groove 202.

[0126] With this design, the screw slot 202 can limit the screw head and prevent the screw head from being exposed, thus affecting the aesthetics of the handle.

[0127] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a third aspect, a cooking utensil is also provided, including a pot body 5 and a handle assembly. The handle assembly is connected to the pot body 5.

[0128] The cooking appliance of the third aspect of this application includes or uses the handle assembly of the first aspect of this utility model, and therefore has its beneficial effects. That is, the cooking appliance of the embodiment of this application can overcome the risk of water leakage during the installation of the handle assembly, as well as the defects of the screw 403 rusting due to contact with water, and the damage to the aesthetics of the cooking appliance. It can also avoid gaps between the handle assembly and the pot body 5, or interference with the pot lid and other structures after the handle assembly is completed.

[0129] The cooking appliance can be an electric kettle, or, as an alternative implementation, other appliances with a handle 2.

[0130] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
