DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] To deepen the understanding of the utility model, the utility model will be further described in combination with the embodiment and the drawings. The utility model can be implemented by the following ways:

[0030] Refer to Figures 1-9, switch type folding pot ear, including fixed seat 1 connected with pot body 5, handle 2 rotationally connected with fixed seat 1 and locking structure for controlling whether handle 2 can rotate, wherein, the locking structure includes elastic top piece 3 penetrating handle 2 and locking piece 4 for controlling elastic top piece 3 to approach or move away from fixed seat 1, the locking piece 4 is rotationally connected at the free end edge of handle 2, one end of the elastic top piece 3 is in elastic abutment with fixed seat 1, and the other end is in movable clamping connection with locking piece 4. Figure 2 When it is needed to use, as shown in the drawings, the contact end of locking piece 4 and handle 2 is rotated outward, so that elastic top piece 3 abuts against fixed seat 1, thereby making handle 2 unable to rotate around fixed seat 1, avoiding the pot ear from swinging randomly during use, realizing locking function and improving safety performance. When it is needed to fold or open the rotary pot ear, the contact end of locking piece 4 and handle 2 is rotated inward, so that elastic top piece 3 moves away from fixed seat 1, thereby making handle 2 able to rotate around fixed seat 1, which is simple, convenient and fast to operate and has high safety.

[0031] Specifically, the elastic top piece 3 has two insertion pins 31 protruding outward at one end towards locking piece 4, and a guide rail arc surface 32 corresponding to the rotation direction of handle 2 is arranged between the two insertion pins 31, the locking piece 4 is provided with insertion pin grooves 41 for the insertion pins 31 to insert, and a locking protrusion 42 abutting or moving away from the guide rail arc surface 32 protrudes outward between the two insertion pin grooves 41. The handle 2 is provided with a notch 21 on the inner side of the surface in sliding contact with the locking piece 4, for the locking protrusion 42 to slide in or out. When the locking protrusion 42 rotates outward and slides into the notch 21 and abuts against the guide rail arc surface 32 (as shown in the drawings), the elastic top piece 3 abuts against fixed seat 1 in the direction of fixed seat 1, so that handle 2 cannot rotate; when the locking protrusion 42 rotates inward and slides out of the notch 21 and away from the guide rail arc surface 32 (as shown in the drawings), the elastic top piece 3 moves away from fixed seat 1, and handle 2 can rotate around fixed seat 1 again. Figure 5 Figure 7

[0032] In order to make the locking protrusion 42 stay at the rotated angle state, the locking piece 4 and handle 2 are hingedly connected at both ends, and an elastic locking piece 43 in elastic abutment with the locking piece 4 is arranged at the hinged connection of the handle 2 and the locking piece 4, and a locking groove 22 corresponding to the elastic locking piece 43 is arranged at the hinged connection of the handle 2 and the locking piece 4. The elastic locking piece 43 has a limiting protrusion 431 protruding outward at one end towards the handle 2, and the locking groove 22 is provided with an opening 221 on the inner side of the handle 2, for the limiting protrusion 431 to slide in or out. As shown in the drawings, when the limiting protrusion 431 is rotated outward and slides into the opening 221, the elastic locking piece 43 is in elastic abutment with the locking piece 4, so that the locking piece 4 cannot rotate; when the limiting protrusion 431 is rotated inward and slides out of the opening 221, the elastic locking piece 43 moves away from the locking piece 4, so that the locking piece 4 can rotate. Figure 5 ​​As shown, when the locking protrusion 42 rotates outwardly along with the locking member 4 and slides into the abutting guide rail curve surface 32 from the gap 21, the limiting protrusion 431 of the elastic locking member 43 just slides into the opening 221 and elastically abuts against the locking groove 22, so that the limiting protrusion 431 stays on the guide rail curve surface 32. Figure 7 As shown, when the locking protrusion 42 rotates inwardly along with the locking member 4 and slides out of the gap 21 and separates from the guide rail curve surface 32, the limiting protrusion 431 of the elastic locking member 43 slides out of the locking groove 22 under the action of external force, so that the limiting protrusion 431 stays in the state of separating from the guide rail curve surface 32.

[0033] In order to prevent the elastic locking member 43 from rotating in the locking member 4, as shown, the elastic locking member 43 is provided with a first positioning column 432 and a second positioning column 433 at one end thereof towards the locking member 4, and a positioning spring 44 is sleeved on the first positioning column 432; and the locking member 4 is provided with a first positioning hole 45 and a second positioning hole 46 at two ends thereof for the first positioning column 432 and the second positioning column 433 to be inserted into the first positioning hole 45 and the second positioning hole 46 respectively. This design can prevent the elastic locking member 43 from rotating in the locking member 4, and ensure that the limiting protrusion 431 can accurately slide into or slide out of the locking groove 22. Figure 4

[0034] In order to realize the hinging of the locking member 4 and the handle 2, the handle 2 is provided with a hinge shaft 23 at the hinging position of the locking member 4, and the hinge shaft 23 is movably hinged with the second positioning hole 46. The outer end surface of the second positioning hole 46 is connected with a clamping entrance 461 for clamping the hinge shaft 23 into the second positioning hole 46. The locking member 4 can rotate around the hinge shaft 23.

[0035] In addition, the contact surface of the locking member 4 and the handle 2 is a curved surface, and a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions 47 for reducing friction are arranged on the contact surface, so that the locking member 4 does not need to be rotated with too much force during rotation, and the user experience is improved.

[0036] ​In order to make the handle 2 stay in different gears, the elastic top piece 3 has a positioning protrusion 33 outwardly protruding at one end towards the fixed base 1, and the outer end of the fixed base 1 is provided with a guide rail 11 corresponding to the rotating direction of the handle 2, and the two ends of the guide rail 11 are provided with gear slots 12, the gear slot 12 at the upper end is the gear slot for the unfolded handle 2, and the gear slot 12 at the lower end is the gear slot for the folded handle 2. The positioning protrusion 33 elastically abuts against the guide rail 11 or the gear slot 12. The elastic top piece 3 has a limiting shaft 34 outwardly extending at both ends of the insertion foot 31, and the limiting shaft 34 is sleeved with a abutting spring 35; the limiting shaft 34 and the abutting spring 35 are embedded in the handle 2. The handle 2 is provided with a cavity 24 for mounting the elastic top piece 3, and the elastic top piece 3 can rotate synchronously with the handle 2 around the fixed shaft. The cavity 24 is provided with a front opening 241 at one end towards the fixed base 1 for the positioning protrusion 33 of the elastic top piece 3 to pass out, and the cavity 24 is provided with a rear opening 242 at one end towards the locking piece 4 for the insertion foot 31 to pass out. The cavity 24 is provided with a limiting hole 25 for the limiting shaft 34 and the free end of the abutting spring 35 to insert. Due to the action of the abutting spring 35, the positioning protrusion 33 of the elastic top piece 3 always abuts against the base under the action of the abutting spring 35. When the locking piece 4 releases the elastic top piece 3, the elastic top piece 3 is subjected to external force of the handle 2, that is, the positioning protrusion 33 of the elastic top piece 3 elastically abuts against the guide rail 11, and the abutting spring 35 is in a compressed state; when the positioning protrusion 33 rotates to the gear slot 12, the positioning protrusion 33 is inserted into the gear slot 12 under the thrust of the abutting spring 35, so that the handle 2 can stay in the two gear slots 12. When the locking piece 4 locks the elastic top piece 3, the positioning protrusion 33 of the elastic top piece 3 cannot be separated from the gear slot 12 even if it is subjected to external force, thereby achieving the purpose of locking and improving the safety performance of the pot ear.

[0037] Method for use: when it is needed to use, the pot ear is unfolded so that the pot ear is in a horizontal state, and then the contact end of the locking piece 4 towards the handle 2 is rotated outwardly, so that the limiting protrusion 431 of the elastic locking piece 43 on the locking piece 4 slides into the locking slot 22, and the locking protrusion 42 on the locking piece 4 abuts against the guide rail arc surface 32 of the elastic top piece 3, so that the elastic top piece 3 abuts against the gear slot 12 on the fixed base 1, thereby making the handle 2 unable to rotate around the fixed base 1, and making the pot ear unable to swing randomly during use even if it is subjected to external force, and realizing the locking function. When the pot ear needs to be folded, the contact end of the locking piece 4 towards the handle 2 is rotated inwardly, so that the locking protrusion 42 releases the guide rail arc surface 32 of the elastic top piece 3, and the elastic top piece 3 releases the fixed base 1 under the action of the abutting spring 35, thereby making the handle 2 rotatable around the fixed base 1 to be folded; the pot ear can also be selected to be locked by the locking piece 4 after being folded, and before being unfolded for use, the locking piece 4 needs to be rotated open, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0038] It should be pointed out finally: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement etc. that is made within the spirit and principle of the utility model, should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
