Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frying pan technology, and more specifically, to a frying pan with an adjustable handle length. Background Technology

[0002] A frying pan is a utensil used for frying and cooking food. It is a flat-bottomed iron cooking utensil with low, outward-sloping rim. Nowadays, manufacturers generally use lighter aluminum as the manufacturing material. Frying pans are suitable for baking, roasting, steaming, grilling, or stir-frying seafood, meats, and poultry, as well as cooking vegetables or healthy snacks that are easy to eat with your fingers. They are easy to use, and a variety of dishes can be cooked in just a few minutes.

[0003] Existing frying pans with fixed handles can meet basic gripping needs, but the length of the handles is generally not adjustable, which makes them unsuitable for users with different usage habits, heights, and hand sizes. In addition, longer handles are not convenient to store, and fixed handle lengths require the arm to be held at a specific angle, making it impossible to adjust the grip position according to the amount of food when stir-frying, which may affect the stir-frying strength and flexibility.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a flat-bottomed pan with an adjustable handle length, including a pan body 1. A fixed handle rod 2 is fixedly connected to the right side of the pan body 1. A movable handle frame 3 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the fixed handle rod 2. A fixing component 4 is installed on the left side of the top of the movable handle frame 3. A fixing groove 201 is opened on the top of the fixed handle rod 2. The fixing component 4 includes a fixing frame 401 fixedly connected to the top of the movable handle frame 3. A rotating rod 402 is slidably sleeved in the middle of the inner side of the fixing frame 401. A fixed component is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the outer side of the rotating rod 402. There is a gear 403. A drive rack 404 is movably sleeved on the top left side of the fixed frame 401. A control block 405 is fixedly connected to the top of the drive rack 404. A cylindrical rod 406 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the fixed frame 401. A driven rack 407 is movably sleeved on the bottom of the cylindrical rod 406. A fixed insert block 408 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the driven rack 407. A pressure spring 409 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the cylindrical rod 406. The pressure spring 409 is located between the top of the driven rack 407 and the top of the inner wall of the fixed frame 401.

[0022] In this embodiment, when the length of the handle needs to be adjusted, the control block 405 presses the active rack 404. Through the meshing of the active rack 404 and the gear 403, the gear 403 rotates counterclockwise. Through the meshing of the gear 403 and the driven rack 407, the driven rack 407 drives the fixed insert 408 to move vertically upward, causing the fixed insert 408 to separate from the inner side of the fixed groove 201. At the same time, the pressure spring 409 is compressed, and then the movable handle frame 3 can be moved along the outer side of the fixed handle rod 2. By adjusting the horizontal position of the movable handle frame 3, the overall length of the fixed handle bar 2 and the movable handle frame 3 can be adjusted, making the handle easier for users of different heights and hand sizes to use and improving grip comfort. When frying or stir-frying, the distance from the heat source can be flexibly adjusted to reduce the risk of burns. When stewing or boiling, the handle can be lengthened to prevent burns, while shortening it saves stove space. When storing, the handle size can be reduced to fit different cabinet sizes. It can also meet the needs of various postures such as carrying pots and stirring, enhancing the convenience and safety of use.

[0023] The fixed handle bar 2 has positioning grooves 202 on both the front and back sides, and the movable handle frame 3 has positioning sliders 303 fixedly connected to both the front and back sides of the inner wall, with the positioning sliders 303 slidably connected to the positioning grooves 202.

[0024] The positioning groove 202 and the positioning slider 303 work together to position the movable handle frame 3, so that the movable handle frame 3 can only move horizontally along the outside of the fixed handle bar 2 without relative rotation.

[0025] The fixed handle 2 has a cylindrical hole 203 in the middle of the right side and a cylindrical groove 204 in the middle of the inner side of the fixed handle 2. The cylindrical groove 204 is connected to the cylindrical hole 203. The inner diameter of the cylindrical groove 204 is larger than the inner diameter of the cylindrical hole 203. A fixed rod 301 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the movable handle frame 3. A cylindrical block 302 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixed rod 301. The cylindrical block 302 is compatible with the cylindrical groove 204 and the fixed rod 301 is compatible with the cylindrical hole 203.

[0026] The cooperation between the cylindrical groove 204 and the cylindrical block 302, as well as the cooperation between the fixed rod 301 and the cylindrical hole 203, can increase the structural strength of the direct connection between the movable handle frame 3 and the fixed handle rod 2, and also prevent the movable handle frame 3 from completely detaching from the outside of the fixed handle rod 2.

[0027] The front and back sides of the inner wall of the fixed frame 401 are fixedly connected to a first positioning block 411 and a second positioning block 412. The front and back sides of the active rack 404 are provided with a first rectangular groove 441, which is slidably connected to the first positioning block 411. The front and back sides of the driven rack 407 are provided with a second rectangular groove 471, which is slidably connected to the second positioning block 412.

[0028] The first positioning block 411 and the first rectangular groove 441 work together to position the active rack 404, preventing it from rotating and allowing it to move up and down. The second positioning block 412 and the second rectangular groove 471 work together to allow the driven rack 407 to move up and down, thus ensuring stable meshing between the active rack 404, the gear 403, and the driven rack 407.

[0029] The fixing block 408 and the fixing groove 201 are adapted to each other, and the bottom edge of the fixing block 408 is provided with a chamfer.

[0030] The pressure spring 409 exerts a downward thrust on the driven rack 407, thereby enabling the fixed insert 408 to be stably inserted into the fixed slot 201 and fixing the horizontal position of the movable handle frame 3.

[0031] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0032] When the handle length needs to be adjusted, the control block 405 presses the active rack 404. Through the meshing of the active rack 404 and the gear 403, the gear 403 rotates counterclockwise. Through the meshing of the gear 403 and the driven rack 407, the driven rack 407 drives the fixed insert 408 to move vertically upward, causing the fixed insert 408 to separate from the inside of the fixed groove 201. At the same time, the pressure spring 409 is compressed, and then the movable handle frame 3 can be moved horizontally along the outside of the fixed handle rod 2. By adjusting the horizontal position of the movable handle frame 3, the overall length of the fixed handle rod 2 and the movable handle frame 3 can be adjusted, making the handle easier for users of different heights and hand sizes to use, improving grip comfort; when frying, the distance from the heat source can be flexibly adjusted to reduce the risk of burns; when stewing, the handle can be lengthened to prevent burns, and shortened to save stove space; when stored, the handle volume is reduced to fit different cabinet sizes; it can also meet the needs of various postures such as carrying pots and stirring, enhancing the convenience and safety of use.
