Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device accessories technology, and in particular to a concealed handle assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as display panels and portable electronic devices, handle components need to balance functionality (e.g., ease of transport) and aesthetics (e.g., concealed design). Traditional handles often employ external fixing or simple folding structures, which have the following drawbacks:

[0003] Poor space occupation and aesthetics: External handles protrude from the surface of the equipment, affecting the overall streamlined design and are prone to bumps and knocks; although folding handles can be partially hidden, the hinges are prone to loosening and lack stability after long-term use.

[0004] Low locking reliability: Existing locking mechanisms mostly rely on magnetic attraction or latches, which are prone to accidental unlocking due to vibration during handling, causing the handle to pop out and injure people.

[0005] Complex structure: Some hidden handles require multiple steps to operate (such as pressing and then rotating), resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0007] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a hidden handle assembly, including a handle and a handle housing, wherein the middle part of the handle is rotatably connected to the handle housing via a rotating shaft, and a rotating cavity is provided on the handle housing. The handle is installed in the middle of the rotating cavity via the rotating shaft, so that it can rotate within the rotating cavity to achieve switching between the use state and the hidden state.

[0008] The self-locking and unlocking mechanism includes a self-locking button, a sliding block, and a spring. The self-locking button is horizontally slidably disposed on one side of the handle housing. The sliding block is longitudinally slidably disposed inside the handle housing. The sliding block is provided with a pin that can be inserted into a corresponding groove in the handle. The spring connects the self-locking button and the handle housing and is used to provide elastic restoring force when the self-locking button is released.

[0009] A rotating shaft structure, wherein the rotating shaft includes a first rotating shaft segment fixed to the handle housing and a second rotating shaft segment fixed to the handle, the second rotating shaft segment being coaxially sleeved on the first rotating shaft segment and rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft segment;

[0010] When the self-locking button is pressed, the sliding block moves upward, causing the pin to disengage from the handle's groove and unlocking the mechanism. When the self-locking button is released, the spring's restoring force causes the self-locking button to control the sliding block to move downward, and the pin to insert into the corresponding groove on the handle and lock the mechanism.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the concealed handle assembly of this utility model, push rods are arranged at both ends of the self-locking button, the sliding block has a U-shaped structure, and the self-locking button and the spring are both arranged in the U-shaped cavity of the sliding block;

[0012] The left and right inner walls of the U-shaped cavity are each provided with inclined sliding grooves. The push rod is inserted into the inclined sliding groove and slidably connected with the inclined sliding groove.

[0013] When the self-locking button is pressed, the sliding block is pushed upward along the inclined groove, causing the pin to disengage from the groove of the handle.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the concealed handle assembly of this utility model, the sliding block is slidably engaged with the handle housing via a longitudinal guide groove, the longitudinal guide groove extending in the vertical direction to ensure that the sliding block moves in a preset vertical direction.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the concealed handle assembly of this utility model, it further includes a protective and guiding structure, including a sliding cover plate, which covers the outside of the sliding block and the self-locking button to protect the internal mechanism and provide sliding guidance.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the concealed handle assembly of this utility model, the self-locking button has an installation cavity, and the spring is installed in the installation cavity;

[0017] The sliding cover plate is provided with guide posts that cooperate with the spring, and the other end of the spring is sleeved on the guide posts.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the concealed handle assembly of this utility model, a guide slider is arranged on the self-locking button;

[0019] The handle housing is provided with a cross groove adapted to the guide slider structure;

[0020] The guide slider is slidably connected to the cross groove, limiting the horizontal movement trajectory of the self-locking button.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the concealed handle assembly of this utility model, a guide slide is vertically arranged on the sliding cover plate;

[0022] The guide slide is provided with a semi-circular groove that is compatible with the pin structure;

[0023] The guide slide is nested on the pin through a semi-circular groove, which limits and guides the movement of the pin.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the concealed handle assembly of this utility model, the degree of rotation of the handle within the rotating cavity includes:

[0025] The first position allows the handle to be flipped into the handle housing for use.

[0026] The second position allows the handle to flip inside the handle housing, creating a hidden state.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0028] 1. Traditional handles are usually exposed or use a simple folding structure, resulting in an uneven appearance and susceptibility to bumps and knocks. This invention uses a 180° flip design to completely hide the handle inside the handle housing, achieving a smooth surface and improving the overall aesthetics. In the hidden state, the handle does not protrude from the outer surface of the housing, avoiding any protruding structure that could affect the appearance of the equipment or cause accidental scratches.

[0029] 2. Existing technologies mostly rely on magnetic or snap-locking mechanisms, which are prone to accidental unlocking due to vibration or accidental contact. This utility model adopts a mechanical self-locking mechanism, which ensures that the handle will not accidentally pop out during handling or vibration environments through the rigid engagement of the pin and the groove, thus improving safety. At the same time, the sloping slide design converts horizontal pressing force into vertical locking force, making the unlocking operation more effortless and stable.

[0030] 3. This utility model adopts a one-button press-to-unlock + rotation linkage mechanism. Users only need to press the self-locking button to unlock and flip the handle. The operation process is more ergonomic and improves the convenience of use. Attached Figure Description

[0051] Reference Figures 1-8 This invention provides a concealed handle assembly, which mainly includes a handle 100, a handle housing 200, a rotating shaft 300, a self-locking button 400, a sliding block 500, a spring 600, and a sliding cover plate 700. These components work together to achieve the functions of concealing, unfolding, and locking the handle. Details are as follows:

[0052] Handle 100 and rotating shaft structure;

[0053] The handle 100 has a shaft hole in the middle for mounting the rotating shaft 300;

[0054] The rotating shaft 300 adopts a split design, including:

[0055] First rotating shaft section 301: fixed inside the rotating cavity of handle housing 200, and cannot be rotated.

[0056] The second rotating shaft segment 302 is fixed in the shaft hole of the handle 100 and can rotate relative to the first rotating shaft segment 301.

[0057] With this split structure, the handle 100 can be rotated 180° around the rotation axis 300, realizing the switching between the use state (exposed) and the hidden state (stored).

[0058] Self-locking and unlocking mechanism;

[0059] Self-locking button 400: It is horizontally slidably disposed on one side of the handle housing 200, and push rods 402 are provided on the side walls on both sides of it to drive the sliding block 500.

[0060] Sliding block 500: It has a U-shaped structure, and its inner walls on both sides are provided with inclined sliding grooves 502. The push rod 402 is inserted into the inclined sliding grooves 502. When the self-locking button 400 is pressed, the push rod 402 slides along the inclined sliding grooves 502, pushing the sliding block 500 to move vertically upward.

[0061] Pin 501: Fixed to the sliding block 500, it can be inserted into or removed from the corresponding groove of the handle 100 to lock or unlock.

[0062] Spring 600: Installed in the mounting cavity of self-locking button 400, one end of which is fixed to handle housing 200, and the other end is sleeved on guide post 701 of sliding cover plate 700, to provide elastic restoring force so that self-locking button 400 automatically resets after release.

[0063] Protective and guiding structures;

[0064] Sliding cover 700: Covers the outside of sliding block 500 and self-locking button 400, and serves as a protective measure.

[0065] Guide slide 702: It is vertically fixed on the sliding cover plate 700, and its semi-circular groove 703 is nested on the pin 501, which restricts the pin 501 to move only in the vertical direction and avoids swaying.

[0066] Cross-shaped slide groove 202: Located on the handle housing 200, it cooperates with the guide slider 401 of the self-locking button 400 to ensure that the self-locking button 400 can only slide horizontally and will not deviate.

[0067] The overall operation process is as follows:

[0068] (1) Switch from hidden state to used state;

[0069] When the user presses the self-locking button 400, the push rod 402 slides along the inclined slide groove 502, pushing the sliding block 500 to move vertically upward, causing the pin 501 to exit the groove of the handle 100 and releasing the lock.

[0070] The user flips the handle 100 outward, causing it to rotate 180° around the rotation axis 300 until the handle 100 protrudes from the handle housing 200, thus entering the usage state.

[0071] When the self-locking button 400 is released, the restoring force of the spring 600 causes the self-locking button 400 to exert a certain pressure on the sliding block 500 through the push rod 402, causing it to move down. The pin 501 is then reinserted into the groove of the handle 100, completing the locking process.

[0072] (2) Switch from active state to hidden state;

[0073] Press the self-locking button 400, the pin 501 disengages from the groove, and the handle 100 is unlocked.

[0074] Rotate the handle 100 180° in the opposite direction so that it is completely housed in the rotating cavity of the handle housing 200.

[0075] Release the self-locking button 400, and the pin 501 will engage with the hidden groove of the handle 100 to ensure that the handle will not wobble when it is in the hidden state.

[0076] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0077] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
