Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cookware, and in particular to a detachable connection structure for a pot handle. Background Technology

[0002] A pot handle is a grip that is attached to the pot body for the user to hold. In the present technology, the pot handle is generally directly installed on the pot body by screws. During long-term use, the screws will rust, and the pot handle will be difficult to remove from the pot body, which makes it inconvenient to transport or store the pot. Therefore, this needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies where pot handles, fixed to the pot body with screws, are prone to loosening and are inconvenient to remove from the pot body, making it difficult to transport or store the cookware. It provides a new detachable connection structure for pot handles.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A detachable connection structure for a pot handle includes a pot handle, a switch, and a connecting plate fixed to the pot body. The connecting plate has a locking hole, and the pot handle has a cavity. The switch is slidably disposed in the cavity and has a return spring and a connecting hook. The switch, the connecting hook, and the connecting plate are in a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the connecting plate is inserted into the cavity, and the return spring pushes the connecting hook to press against the connecting plate. The end of the connecting hook is inserted into the locking hole and engages. In the unlocked state, the switch moves the connecting hook away from the connecting plate, the return spring is compressed, and the end of the connecting hook is withdrawn from the locking hole.

[0006] When the handle needs to be fixed to the connecting plate, first push the switch, then insert the connecting plate into the cavity. After releasing the switch, the return spring pushes the connecting hook to lock it in place with the locking hole, thus fixing the handle to the connecting plate. When the handle needs to be removed from the connecting plate, push the switch again to disengage the connecting hook from the locking hole. This allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the handle and the connecting plate, improving the ease of assembly and disassembly of the handle and the pot body. It also facilitates the disassembly, transportation, and storage of the cookware. Furthermore, a single handle can be adapted to different pot styles, enhancing overall practicality. The return spring provides elasticity to the connecting hook within the locking hole, improving the stability of the handle fixed to the connecting plate. The connecting plate separates the handle from the pot body, improving the handle's heat insulation and enhancing user convenience.

[0007] Preferably, in the above-described disassembly and connection structure for a pot handle, the cavity includes a vertical groove and a horizontal groove that are connected. The switch drives the connecting hook to move back and forth in the vertical direction within the vertical groove. The reset spring drives the switch to move upward to reset and be in the locked state. The connecting plate is inserted into the horizontal groove and engages with it.

[0008] The switch moves the connecting hook vertically within the vertical groove, facilitating user button presses. The horizontal groove limits the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the connecting plate, improving the accuracy of the alignment between the end of the connecting hook and the locking hole. This, in turn, enhances the smoothness of attaching and detaching the pot handle from the connecting plate. Furthermore, the engagement of the connecting hook with the locking hole limits the forward and backward movement of the connecting plate, thus providing multi-directional control over the pot handle and the connecting plate and improving the stability of the connection between them.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, in the above-described disassembly and connection structure of the pot handle, the switch is provided with a guide groove, and a guide rib is provided in the cavity and inserted into the guide groove. The switch moves back and forth in the cavity along the guide rib via the guide groove.

[0010] The switch slides back and forth within the cavity through the cooperation of the guide groove and the guide rib, which can limit and guide the sliding direction of the switch and improve the stability when the switch drives the connecting hook to move.

[0011] Preferably, in the above-described disassembly and connection structure for a pot handle, the switch has a buckle with elastic deformation capability, and a slide is provided on the inner wall of the cavity. The buckle is inserted into and slidably disposed in the slide. In the locked state, the buckle abuts against the top inner wall of the slide. In the unlocked state, the buckle moves away from the top inner wall of the slide with the switch and separates from the top inner wall of the slide.

[0012] The switch slides back and forth within the cavity through the cooperation of the latch and the slide rail, which improves the ease of assembling and disassembling the switch from the pot handle. At the same time, the slide rail can also limit the movement distance of the switch, preventing the switch from detaching from the pot handle.

[0013] Preferably, in the above-described detachable connection structure for the pot handle, two connecting plates are provided and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the pot body.

[0014] One connecting plate is used to fix the pot handle, and the other connecting plate can be used as a side lug to make it easy for the user to move the pot.

[0015] Preferably, in the above-described disassembly and connection structure for a pot handle, the number of reset springs is set to several, and the lower end of the switch has several inwardly extending positioning grooves. The number of reset springs corresponds one-to-one with the number of positioning grooves. The reset springs are inserted into the positioning grooves, with one end of the reset spring abutting against the top inner wall of the positioning groove and the other end of the reset spring abutting against the bottom inner wall of the vertical groove.

[0016] The presence of multiple reset springs improves the smoothness of the switch moving the connecting hook upwards to reset. The reset springs are fixed by positioning grooves, which restricts the extension and retraction direction of the reset springs and further improves the accuracy of the switch inserting the end of the connecting hook into the locking hole.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the above-described detachable connection structure for a pot handle includes a fixing groove on the switch, one end of the connecting hook bent upward to form a shaping plate, the shaping plate being inserted into the fixing groove and engaging with it, and also includes fasteners, wherein the shaping plate and the inner wall of the fixing groove are detachably connected by the fasteners.

[0018] The pre-positioning of the connecting hook is achieved by the insertion and cooperation of the fixing groove and the shaping plate, which prevents the connecting hook from shaking when tightening the fastener. The connecting hook and the switch are connected in a detachable manner through fasteners, which has the advantages of simple structure, easy fixation and reliable fixation.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to specific embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the present invention:

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a detachable connection structure for a pot handle includes a pot handle 1, a switch 2, and a connecting plate 3 fixed to the pot body. The connecting plate 3 has a locking hole 31, and the pot handle 1 has a cavity 4. The switch 2 is slidably disposed in the cavity 4. The switch 2 has a return spring 5 and a connecting hook 6. The switch 2, the connecting hook 6, and the connecting plate 3 are in a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the connecting plate 3 is inserted into the cavity 4, the return spring 5 pushes the connecting hook 6 to press against the connecting plate 3, and the end of the connecting hook 6 is inserted into the locking hole 31 and engages. In the unlocked state, the switch 2 drives the connecting hook 6 to move away from the connecting plate 3, the return spring 5 is compressed, and the end of the connecting hook 6 is withdrawn from the locking hole 31.

[0028] Preferably, the cavity 4 includes a vertical groove 41 and a horizontal groove 42 that are connected. The switch 2 drives the connecting hook 6 to move back and forth in the vertical groove 41. The reset spring 5 drives the switch 2 to move upward to reset. In the locked state, the connecting plate 3 is inserted into the horizontal groove 42 and the insertion is performed.

[0029] Preferably, the switch 2 is provided with a guide groove 21, and a guide rib 43 is provided in the cavity 4 and inserted into the guide groove 21. The switch 2 moves back and forth in the cavity 4 along the guide rib 43 through the guide groove 21.

[0030] Preferably, the switch 2 has a buckle 22 with elastic deformation capability, and a slide 44 is provided on the inner wall of the cavity 4. The buckle 22 is inserted into and slidably disposed in the slide 44. In the locked state, the buckle 22 abuts against the top inner wall of the slide 44. In the unlocked state, the buckle 22 moves away from the top inner wall of the slide 44 with the switch 2 and separates from the top inner wall of the slide 44.

[0031] Preferably, there are two connecting plates 3, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the pot body.

[0032] Preferably, the number of reset springs 5 ​​is set to several, and the lower end of the switch 2 is provided with several inwardly extending positioning grooves 23. The number of reset springs 5 ​​corresponds one-to-one with the number of positioning grooves 23. The reset springs 5 ​​are inserted into the positioning grooves 23, one end of the reset spring 5 abuts against the top inner wall of the positioning groove 23, and the other end of the reset spring 5 abuts against the bottom inner wall of the vertical groove 41.

[0033] Preferably, the switch 2 has a fixing groove 24, and one end of the connecting hook 6 is bent upward to form a shaping plate 61. The shaping plate 61 is inserted into the fixing groove 24 and is engaged with the fixing groove 24. It also includes a fastener 7. The shaping plate 61 and the inner wall of the fixing groove 24 are detachably connected by the fastener 7.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the vertical groove 41 and the horizontal groove 42 are distributed on the front side of the handle 1 and extend into the interior of the handle 1. The vertical groove 41 and the horizontal groove 42 are intersected and connected to form a cross shape. The upper opening of the vertical groove 41 is distributed on the upper side of the handle 1.

[0035] The rear inner wall of the vertical groove 41 has a slide rail 44 extending vertically. The switch 2 is square-shaped, and the buckle 22 is located on the rear side of the switch 2. The buckle 22 is inserted into and slidably disposed in the slide rail 44. There are two positioning grooves 23 located in the middle of the switch 2. The opening of the positioning grooves 23 faces downward. The return springs 5 ​​are distributed in the positioning grooves 23, and the two ends of the return springs 5 ​​abut against the top inner wall of the positioning groove 23 and the bottom inner wall of the vertical groove 41, respectively. The switch 2 moves back and forth in the vertical groove 41 through the buckle 22, the slide rail 44, and the return springs 5, and the upper end of the switch 2 protrudes from the upper opening of the vertical groove 41. The number of return springs 5 ​​can also be increased or decreased according to the size of the switch 2 and actual needs. In this embodiment, there are two return springs 5 ​​distributed on both sides of the lower end of the switch 2.

[0036] In some embodiments, a vertical rod extending from the switch 2 may also be provided in the vertical groove 41, and a reset spring 5 is sleeved on the vertical rod, so that the switch 2 can move back and forth along the vertical rod in the vertical groove 41 by means of the reset spring 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, four guide grooves 21 are provided and distributed at the four corners of the switch 2. The guide grooves 21 extend along the height direction of the switch 2. The number of guide ribs 43 corresponds one-to-one with the number of guide grooves 21. Thus, the stability of the switch 2 when moving is improved by the mutual cooperation between the guide ribs 43 and the guide grooves 21.

[0038] The fixing groove 24 is located on the front side wall of the switch 2. A first hole is formed on the inner wall of the fixing groove 24. One end of the connecting hook 6 is bent upward to form a shaping plate 61. The connecting hook 6 is generally L-shaped. A second hole is formed on the shaping plate 61. The fastener 7 passes through the second hole and is screwed into the first hole, thereby fixing the connecting hook 6 to the switch 2. In some embodiments, the connecting hook 6 and the switch 2 can be fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure, or they can be integrally formed or fixed by welding technology.

[0039] The hook body of the connecting hook 6, which is away from the shaping plate 61, is triangular. The width of the hook body gradually decreases upward along the height direction, so that it can make way when the end of the connecting hook 6 is inserted into the locking hole 31, thus improving the convenience of disassembling and assembling the pot handle 1.

[0040] More specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the connecting plate 3 is L-shaped. The front end of the connecting plate 3 extends vertically and is welded to the pot body. The rear end of the connecting plate 3 extends horizontally and the locking holes 31 are distributed on the upper surface of the rear end of the connecting plate 3. The width of the locking holes 31 is greater than the width of the vertical groove 41.

[0041] When it is necessary to fix the pot handle 1 to the pot body, first press down on the switch 2, then put the pot handle 1 onto the connecting plate 3. At this time, as the connecting plate 3 is inserted into the horizontal groove 42, the upper end of the connecting hook 6 will abut against the lower surface of the connecting plate 3 and continuously press the connecting hook 6. The return spring 5 remains compressed. When the pot handle 1 moves to the locking hole 31 and the hook body of the connecting hook 6 is directly opposite, the connecting hook 6 is no longer squeezed by the connecting plate 3 and moves upward to reset under the elastic force of the return spring 5, thereby pushing the hook body of the connecting hook 6 into the locking hole 31 for locking engagement. The switch 2 moves upward to reset simultaneously, thus quickly fixing the pot handle 1 to the pot body. Because the width of the locking hole 31 is greater than the width of the vertical groove 41, it can make way for the hook body of the connecting hook 6 to insert into the locking hole 31, improving the smoothness of the connecting hook 6 locking in the locking hole 31.

[0042] When it is necessary to remove the handle 1 from the pot body, simply press the switch 2 to drive the hook of the connecting hook 6 out of the locking hole 31, thereby quickly releasing the lock between the connecting plate 3 and the handle 1. The user can then remove the handle 1 from the connecting plate 3 to disassemble the cookware for transportation or storage.

[0043] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
