[0029] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a handle is used on a cookware, including a fixing part and a handle part 20. The fixing part is connected to the pot body of the cookware, and a first slot 15 is provided on the side of the fixing part away from the pot body. The handle part 20 is rotatably connected to the fixing part, and a locking block 23 is slidably connected to the handle part 20. The handle has a use state and a non-use state. In the use state, the handle part 20 is rotated until the locking block 23 is aligned with the first slot 15, and the locking block 23 slides into the first slot 15 to achieve locking. In the non-use state, the locking block 23 slides out of the first slot 15, so that the handle part 20 can rotate freely for folding and storage.

[0030] When not in use, the locking block 23 slides out of the first locking slot 15, allowing the handle 20 to rotate freely. This feature allows the handle 20 to be rotated to a position close to or flush with the pot body when not in use, significantly reducing the overall space occupied by the cookware. Whether for warehousing and logistics by retailers or for home storage by consumers, there is no need to reserve as much space for the cookware as with traditional cookware, effectively reducing storage and transportation costs and providing convenience for consumers. When in use, the locking block 23 slides into the first locking slot 15 to lock the handle 20 to the fixed part. This design ensures the stability of the handle 20 during use, enabling it to withstand various forces generated when using the cookware, ensuring safe and stable operation by the user.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-2 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a second slot 16 is provided on the side of the fixing part near the pot body. In the non-use state, the handle part 20 is rotated until the locking block 23 is aligned with the second slot 16, and the locking is achieved by the locking block 23 sliding into the second slot 16.

[0032] When the cookware is finished and the handle needs to be folded away, the user first slides the latch 23 on the handle 20, causing the latch 23 to slide out of the first latch 15, thus releasing the lock between the handle 20 and the fixing part in the use state. Then, the user rotates the handle 20 around its rotational connection point with the fixing part until the handle 20 is rotated to a position where the latch 23 aligns with the second latch 16 on the side of the fixing part closer to the cookware body. Finally, the user slides the latch 23 into the second latch 16, locking the handle 20 and the fixing part in the non-use state. At this time, the handle 20 is folded and stored, reducing the overall space occupied by the cookware. When the cookware needs to be used, the user operates the handle in the non-use state (handle 20 folded and stored). At this time, the user manually slides the latch 23 on the handle 20, causing the latch 23 to slide out of the second latch 16, thus releasing the lock between the handle 20 and the fixing part in the non-use state. Next, the user rotates the handle 20 around its rotational connection point with the fixing part until the handle 20 is rotated to the position where the locking block 23 aligns with the first locking groove 15 on the side of the fixing part away from the pot body. Then, the user slides the locking block 23 again, causing it to slide into the first locking groove 15, thus locking the handle 20 and the fixing part in the use state. At this time, the handle is in the use state, and the user can stably hold the handle 20 to operate the cookware.

[0033] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the handle further includes a connector 30, the fixing part includes a C-shaped frame 14, the first end of the handle part 20 is limited within the C-shaped frame 14, the connector 30 passes through the C-shaped frame 14 and the handle part 20, and the handle part 20 can rotate around the connector 30.

[0034] The connector 30 passes through the C-shaped frame and the handle 20, acting as a rotation axis around which the handle 20 can rotate. Due to the special design of the C-shaped frame, the rotation angle of the handle 20 is limited to 180 degrees. The first slot 15 and the second slot 16 are positioned opposite each other. When using the cookware, the user holds the handle 20 and rotates it around the connector 30. During rotation, the handle 20 gradually moves from a position close to or touching the cookware to a position that is easy to operate. After rotating 180 degrees, the locking block 23 on the handle 20 aligns with the first slot 15 on the side of the fixing part away from the cookware. At this point, sliding the locking block 23 into the first slot 15 locks the handle 20 in use, allowing the user to use the cookware normally. After using the cookware, the user slides the locking block 23 out of the first slot 15, releasing the locking of the handle 20 in use. Then, the user holds the handle 20 and rotates it 180 degrees in the opposite direction around the connector 30, slides the locking block 23, and slides it into the second locking slot 16 to lock the handle 20 in the non-use state.

[0035] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the fixing part further includes a fixing plate 10. The fixing plate 10 has a first through hole 11 corresponding to the connection hole of the pot body. Bolts connect the fixing plate 10 and the pot body through the connection hole and the first through hole 11. When installing the handle, firstly, place the fixing plate 10 at the corresponding position on the pot body, aligning the first through hole 11 on the fixing plate 10 with the connection hole of the pot body. Then, pass the bolt through the connection hole and the first through hole 11, and securely connect the fixing plate 10 to the pot body by tightening the nut or other means. This achieves the initial fixing of the fixing part to the pot body, which is very convenient.

[0036] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the fixing part further includes a connecting plate 12, which connects the fixing plate 10 and the C-shaped frame 14. The connecting plate 12 has a second through hole 13. The second through hole 13 directly reduces the amount of material used in the connecting plate 12, reduces production costs, and also reduces the weight of the connecting plate 12, making the handle lighter.

[0037] Reference Figures 2-3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the handle further includes an elastic element 26, and a connecting block 25 is provided at the second end of the handle portion 20. The handle portion 20 is hollow to form a receiving groove 21. One end of the locking block 23 and the elastic element 26 are both located in the receiving groove 21. The two ends of the elastic element 26 are respectively connected to the locking block 23 and the connecting block 25. When the locking block 23 slides out of the first locking groove 15 or the second locking groove 16, the elastic element 26 is compressed. When the handle portion 20 is rotated to align the locking block 23 with the first locking groove 15 or the second locking groove 16, the elastic element 26 pushes the locking block 23 into the corresponding locking groove.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the handle 20 is further provided with an arc-shaped groove 22, and the locking block 23 is provided with a protrusion 24 that matches the arc-shaped groove 22. The protrusion 24 is limited to the arc-shaped groove 22, and the elastic member 26 pushes the protrusion 24 to slide in the arc-shaped groove 22.

[0039] When the cookware is needed, the user holds the handle 20 and rotates it around the connector 30, gradually moving the handle 20 from a position close to or touching the cookware to a more convenient operating position. During rotation, when the locking block 23 aligns with the first locking groove 15, the elastic element 26, previously compressed (compressed when the locking block 23 slides out of the second locking groove 16), pushes the locking block 23, causing the protrusion 24 of the locking block 23 to slide within the arc-shaped groove 22. Ultimately, the locking block 23 is confined within the first locking groove 15, locking the handle 20 in use. After using the cookware, the user manually slides the locking block 23 out of the first locking groove 15, at which point the elastic element 26 is compressed. Then, continue to hold the handle 20 and rotate it in the opposite direction around the connector 30. When the locking block 23 is aligned with the second slot 16, the elastic member 26 pushes the locking block 23, and the protrusion 24 of the locking block 23 slides in the arc groove 22, so that the locking block 23 is limited to the second slot 16, thereby locking the handle 20 in the non-use state.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the handle further includes an extension 31, which is detachably connected to the second end of the handle portion 20.

[0041] The outer wall of the connecting block 25 of this invention is threaded, and the inner wall of the extension 31 near the connecting block 25 is also threaded. Align the side of the extension 31 near the connecting block 25 with the connecting block 25, ensuring their threads correspond. Then, rotate the extension 31 to gradually engage the internal and external threads. As rotation continues, the extension 31 gradually moves closer to the connecting block 25 until they are tightly connected, thus completing the installation of the extension 31. When it is necessary to disassemble the extension 31, simply rotate it in the opposite direction to separate the internal and external threads. The detachable design of the extension 31 allows the handle length to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. Users can install or remove the extension 31 at any time according to different cooking tasks, usage scenarios, and personal preferences, greatly improving the versatility and adaptability of the handle.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the end of the extension 31 away from the fixing part is provided with a third through hole 32.

[0043] The third through hole 32 allows users to hang the handle directly on the wall, cabinet hooks, or shelves, which is especially suitable for the dense storage needs of small kitchens or commercial kitchens.

[0044] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a cookware includes a pot body and a handle. The pot body is provided with a connecting hole, and the fixing part of the handle is provided with a first through hole 11 corresponding to the connecting hole. A bolt connects the handle and the pot body through the connecting hole and the first through hole 11.

[0045] By using bolts to pass through the connecting hole of the pot body and the first through hole 11 of the handle fixing part, the handle can be firmly fixed to the pot body by the friction and clamping force generated by tightening the bolts. When it is necessary to disassemble the handle for maintenance or replacement, use a tool to loosen the nut, and then remove the bolt from the connecting hole and the first through hole 11 to separate the handle from the pot body.

[0046] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
