Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grilling equipment technology, and in particular to a foldable handle and a grilling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the handles of most grills on the market are fixed, which causes many inconveniences. For example, when storing the grill, the handle takes up a lot of space and is inconvenient to store; when transporting the grill, the handle causes the packaging to take up a lot of space, thus increasing transportation costs. In addition, when the user does not need to use the handle, the fixed handle is redundant and may even be damaged by impact. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a grill with a foldable handle. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to design a foldable handle and a grill to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technologies.

[0004] This utility model designs a foldable handle, including a cover and a handle. The cover has a through hole, and the handle includes a lifting part and a rotating arm. One end of the rotating arm is connected to the lifting part, and the other end passes through the through hole and is rotatably connected to the inside or bottom of the cover. The lifting part is rotatably connected to the cover by the rotating arm extending and retracting along the through hole.

[0005] When the rotating arm rotates to extend fully or partially out of the through hole, the lifting part flips to a state where it can be lifted.

[0006] When the rotating arm is rotated to be fully or partially inside or at the bottom of the cover, the lifting part flips over to be folded relative to the cover.

[0007] Preferably, there are two rotating arms, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting part, and the number of through holes corresponds one-to-one with the number of rotating arms.

[0008] Further optimization involves the rotating arm comprising an arc-shaped segment and a straight segment. One end of the arc-shaped segment is connected to the lifting part, and one end of the straight segment is rotatably connected to the cover. The other ends of the straight segment and the arc-shaped segment are connected to each other. The arc-shaped segment passes through a through hole. When the rotating arm rotates, the arc-shaped segment of the rotating arm extends and retracts along the through hole.

[0009] Further optimizations include a base body connected to the inside or bottom of the cover body, and the base body having a groove for covering or partially covering the rotating arm when it retracts to the inside or bottom of the cover body.

[0010] Further optimization includes a base and a groove integral with the base. The base is connected to the inside or bottom of the cover. The base has a cavity that communicates with the through hole and the groove and allows the rotating arm to pass through. The cavity and the inner wall of the cover respectively form a hinge seat that is set in half. When the base is installed on the cover, the half hinge seats are joined together to form a complete hinge seat. One end of the straight segment forms a hinge joint and is hinged to the hinge seat so that the straight segment can rotate relative to the cover and the base.

[0011] Further optimization includes an elastic buckle mechanism between the rotating arm and the base to position the lifting part in a folded state.

[0012] Further optimization involves the elastic buckle mechanism comprising a buckle block, an elastic element, and a notch on the rotating arm. The buckle block is movably installed within the cavity. One end of the elastic element abuts against the buckle block, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the cavity. Under the action of the elastic element, the buckle block abuts against the rotating arm. When the rotating arm rotates to the folded state of the lifting part, the notch on the rotating arm forms a buckle with the notch.

[0013] Further optimization involves forming a serrated surface along the length direction on the side where the notch is located in the arc segment, and the latching block slides continuously and intermittently along the serrated surface as the arc segment rotates.

[0014] Further optimization involves an inclined surface at one end of the buckle block that forms a buckle with the notch, and an inclined surface on the inner side of the notch as well; a stepped structure is provided at the connection between the arc segment and the straight segment, and when the rotating arm rotates to the lifting part and is in a liftable state, the buckle block and the stepped structure are adapted to support the rotating arm.

[0015] This utility model also designs a grill, which includes the aforementioned foldable handle.

[0016] The technical advantages of this utility model are as follows: the handle includes a lifting part and a rotating arm. The cover has a through hole. One end of the rotating arm is connected to the lifting part, and the other end passes through the through hole and connects to the inside or bottom of the cover. When the lifting part is flipped, the rotating arm can perform an arc-shaped extension and retraction movement along the through hole. As the rotating arm rotates back and forth, it extends out of the through hole or extends below the through hole, allowing the lifting part to switch between a liftable state and a folded state, thus realizing a foldable handle design. The structure is simple and easy to implement. The cover also has a base with a groove for guiding and protecting the rotating arm, which protects the rotating arm and prevents it from shifting when rotating. An elastic buckle mechanism is also provided between the handle and the base, so that the handle can be positioned at an angle during rotation, and the handle is always kept taut to prevent it from becoming loose, thus enhancing the user's grip.

[0025] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] This utility model provides a foldable handle, which includes a cover 1 and a handle 2. The cover 1 is a plate structure or a cover-like structure with an internal mounting cavity. A through hole 11 is provided on the upper surface of the cover 1, which penetrates the cover 1 or connects to the internal mounting cavity of the cover 1. The handle 2 includes a lifting part 21 and a rotating arm 22. In this embodiment, there are two rotating arms 22, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting part 21. One end of each rotating arm 22 is connected to the lifting part 21, and the other end passes through the through hole 11 and is connected to the inside or bottom of the cover 1, so that the rotating arm 22 can extend and retract along the through hole 11 when rotating. That is, when force is applied to the lifting part 21, the lifting part 21 drives the rotating arm 22 to rotate, so that the rotating arm 22 rotates along the through hole 11, thereby realizing the rotation of the handle 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the number of through holes 11 corresponds one-to-one with the number of rotating arms 22, making the rotation of the lifting part 21 more stable.

[0028] The rotating arm 22 includes an arc-shaped segment 221 and a straight segment 222. One end of the arc-shaped segment 221 is connected to the lifting part, and one end of the straight segment 222 is rotatably connected to the cover 1. The other ends of the straight segment 222 and the arc-shaped segment 221 are connected to each other. The arc-shaped segment 221 passes through the through hole 11. When the rotating arm 22 rotates, the arc-shaped segment 221 of the rotating arm 22 extends and retracts along the through hole 11. The radius of the arc-shaped segment 221 is the rotation radius of the lifting part 21.

[0029] When the rotating arm 22 rotates to fully or partially extend out of the through hole 11, that is, when the arc-shaped section 221 of the rotating arm 22 extends above the through hole 11, the lifting part 21 also flips accordingly. The lifting part 21 is at a certain angle to the upper surface of the cover 1. At this time, the lifting part 21 is in a state where it can be lifted, which is convenient for hand lifting.

[0030] When the rotating arm 22 rotates to be fully or partially inside or at the bottom of the cover 1, that is, when the arc-shaped section 221 of the rotating arm 22 rotates to be inside or below the through hole 11, the lifting part 21 also flips accordingly. The angle between the lifting part 21 and the upper surface of the cover 1 is 0 or close to 0, that is, the lifting part 21 is attached to or tightly against the upper surface of the cover 1. At this time, the lifting part 21 is in a folded state. Therefore, the lifting part 21 can switch between a liftable and folded state by flipping, which is simple, easy to implement, stable and reliable.

[0031] Furthermore, it also includes a base 3, which is connected to the inside or bottom of the cover 1 and located below the through hole 11. The base 3 is provided with a groove 32 for covering or partially covering the rotating arm 22 when it is retracted to the inside or bottom of the cover 1. In this embodiment, the base 3 includes a base 31 and a groove 32. The groove 32 and the base 31 are integrally designed. The base 31 is connected to the inside or bottom of the cover 1. The base 31 is provided with a cavity 33 that communicates with the through hole 11 and the groove 32 and allows the rotating arm 22 to pass through. The cavity 33 and the inner wall of the cover 1 are respectively formed in half. The hinge seat 34 is provided. When the base 31 is installed on the cover 1, the two halves of the hinge seat 34 are joined together to form a complete hinge seat 34. One end of the straight segment 222 forms a hinge joint 4 and is hinged to the hinge seat 34, so that the straight segment 222 can rotate relative to the cover 1 and the base 3. In this embodiment, a rotating shaft is provided on one end of the straight segment 222 as a hinge joint 4. The rotating shaft is inserted into the hinge seat 34 to form a hinge. Of course, the rotating shaft can be designed as an integral part of the end of the straight segment 222, or the straight segment can be opened with a hole and the rotating shaft is inserted into the hole. The groove 32 extends downward. The shape of the groove 32 is adapted to the rotating arm 22, so that when the rotating arm 22 retracts along the through hole 11 to the inside or bottom of the cover 1, the groove 32 can both protect the rotating arm 22 and guide the rotating arm 22 to rotate, preventing the rotating arm 22 from deviating or colliding.

[0032] Furthermore, an elastic buckle mechanism is provided between the rotating arm 22 and the seat 3. The elastic buckle mechanism is used to position the lifting part 21. In this embodiment, when the lifting part 21 is rotated to the folded state, the lifting part 21 is positioned by the elastic buckle mechanism, so that the lifting part 21 is positioned in the folded state, thereby preventing the lifting part 21 from being fixed in the folded state more stably and preventing the lifting part 21 from being accidentally rotated.

[0033] In this embodiment, the elastic buckle mechanism includes a buckle block 5, an elastic element 6, and a notch 7 formed on the rotating arm 22. The buckle block 5 is movably installed in the cavity 33. One end of the elastic element 6 abuts against the buckle block 5, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the cavity 33. Under the action of the elastic element 6, the buckle block 5 abuts against the rotating arm 22. When the rotating arm 22 rotates to the folded state of the lifting part 21, the top of the buckle block 5 is embedded in the notch 7 under the action of the elastic element 6, forming a buckle with the notch 7. When it is necessary to lift the lifting part 21, a certain pulling force needs to be applied in one direction to make the notch 7 and the buckle block 5 misaligned and thus achieve lifting. It should be noted that when the notch 7 and the buckle block 5 are misaligned, the buckle block 5 always abuts against the rotating arm 22 under the action of the elastic element 6, preventing the entire handle 2 from being in a loose state.

[0034] It should be noted that when the lifting part 21 is in the liftable state, the angle between the lifting part 21 and the upper surface of the cover 1 can be any angle, as long as the angle is suitable for the lifting action. Therefore, the notch 7 can be set at the corresponding position of the rotating arm 22 so that the lifting part 21 can be positioned to any flip angle.

[0035] In addition, a stepped structure 8 is provided at the connection between the arc segment 221 and the straight segment 222. When the rotating arm 22 rotates to the lifting part 21 in the liftable state, the buckle block 5 and the stepped structure 8 are adapted to support the rotating arm 22. To restore the lifting part 21 to the folded state, a certain force needs to be applied to make the stepped structure 8 of the rotating arm 22 press down on the buckle block 5, thereby pressing down the buckle block 5 to retract, so that the stepped structure 8 and the buckle block 5 are misaligned. In this way, the lifting part 21 will not fold accidentally during the lifting process.

[0036] Furthermore, the arc segment 221 forms a serrated surface along the length direction on the side where the notch 7 is located. As the arc segment 221 rotates, the latch block 5 slides continuously and intermittently along the serrated surface. In this way, the handle 2 will make a "click-click-click" sound during rotation, enhancing the user experience.

[0037] Furthermore, the end face of the buckle block 5 and the notch 7 forming a buckle is an inclined surface, and the inner side of the notch 7 is also an inclined surface. The inclined surface serves as a guide surface, which facilitates the engagement between the buckle block 5 and the notch 7, and also facilitates the misalignment between the buckle block 5 and the notch 7, making the operation of the buckle block 5 and the notch 7 more convenient.

[0038] This utility model also provides a grill, which includes the above-mentioned foldable handle.

[0039] This utility model is not limited to the above-described preferred embodiments. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, regardless of any changes made in their shape or structure, any technical solution that is the same as or similar to this application falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
