Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of smart home hardware accessories, specifically a handle assembly for an air fryer pot. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional air fryer handles typically use a fixed design, which has significant drawbacks: First, the handle length is not adjustable, taking up too much space when stored, especially inconvenient for small kitchens; second, installation usually involves bolts, requiring tools for assembly and disassembly, which is not only cumbersome but also prone to thread stripping and loosening after prolonged use; third, existing handles lack effective heat insulation, posing a risk of burns during high-temperature use. Furthermore, the traditional handle-to-pot connection structure is simple and cannot accommodate different pot sizes. These technical shortcomings severely impact the user experience, necessitating a handle assembly that is adjustable in length, quick to assemble and disassemble, and safe and reliable to solve these problems.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN222425879U, which discloses a detachable, heat-insulating, and anti-slip combination pot handle, comprising a pot body; symmetrically arranged handle assemblies connected to both ends of the pot body; each handle assembly including a fixing plate; the fixing plate being an inverted L-shaped plate; the upright portion of the L-shaped plate, close to the pot body wall, being configured as a concave arc panel, which is connected to both ends of the pot body by rivets; the upper horizontal portion of the fixing plate having a mounting groove A, and a lower connecting protrusion integrally formed with the upper horizontal portion of the fixing plate at the end of the mounting groove A; a connector engaging with the mounting groove A. This utility model is easy to install and disassemble, and easy to replace; it also divides the handle assembly into two parts, solving the problems of anti-slip and heat insulation while meeting the requirements of size, appearance, and lightweight, saving space during carrying and storage, and offering better performance, longer lifespan, and lower cost.

[0004] However, the device's rivet connection is irreversible, making maintenance difficult, and it lacks length adjustment functionality; the symmetrical design also results in uneven force distribution when lifted with one hand. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a handle assembly for an air fryer pot, solving the problems of adjustable length structure and quick installation and fixing structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a handle assembly for an air fryer body, comprising a fixing device, a connecting frame, a moving cylinder, and a fixed cylinder. The fixing device is connected to the moving cylinder via the connecting frame. The moving cylinder has a fixed cylinder. The lower end of the fixed cylinder has an installation ring. The outer wall of the installation ring has a knob. The installation ring has a second connecting rod. The upper end of the second connecting rod has a threaded cylinder. The threaded cylinder has a threaded rod inside. One end of the threaded rod is connected to the moving cylinder. The moving cylinder has a second slider. The fixed cylinder has a second guide rail. The second slider is located within the second guide rail. The inner wall of the installation ring has a circumferentially arrayed toothed structure that meshes with a second gear. The thread inside the threaded cylinder engages with the thread inside the threaded rod. The outer wall of the installation ring has a groove. The upper end of the knob is installed in the groove, allowing the knob to rotate within the groove. The second slider can move within the second guide rail without disengaging from it.

[0007] When using this device, rotate the knob by hand. The toothed structure on the inner wall of the knob drives the second gear to rotate. Since the second gear meshes with the first gear, the rotation of the second gear drives the rotation of the first gear. The rotation of the first gear causes the threaded cylinder to rotate, thereby causing the threaded rod inside the threaded cylinder to rotate and move axially. This ultimately moves the moving cylinder. Through the second slider on the moving cylinder and the second guide rail on the fixed cylinder, the moving cylinder can only move axially and will not detach from the fixed cylinder. The overall length of the handle can be precisely controlled by the knob, solving the problem of traditional handles taking up a lot of space and being inconvenient to store. Pulling up and pushing the first moving block by hand can move the second moving block, allowing the insert rod to quickly move to the mounting groove on the outer wall of the air fryer. Releasing the first moving block causes the second moving block to be moved away from the mounting plate of the fixed device by the elastic tension of the spring. At the same time, the first moving block is pressed tightly against the mounting plate of the fixed device, and the second slider is inserted into the groove behind the protruding structure at one end of the second guide rail, completing the installation and fixation of the handle assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the second connecting rod is provided with a first gear, the first gear is provided with a first rotating rod, the lower end of the first rotating rod is provided with a first bearing, and the first bearing is connected to the bottom cover.

[0009] Preferably, the first gear meshes with two second gears, the second gear has a second rotating rod inside, and the two ends of the second rotating rod are provided with second bearings. The upper end of the second bearing is connected to the mounting ring, and the lower end of the second bearing is connected to the bottom cover. The first gear meshes with the second gear.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing device is provided with two first guide rails, and a first slider is provided in the first guide rail. The first guide rail has a protruding structure at both ends. When the first slider moves to one end, the spring contracts and then releases the elastic tension to make the first moving block close to the through groove.

[0011] Preferably, the first slider is connected to one end of the spring, and the other end of the spring is connected to the second moving block. The fixing device is provided with a through groove, so that the first slider can move within the first guide rail without disengaging from the first guide rail.

[0012] Preferably, the second movable block is connected to the first movable block via a first connecting rod, and a plug rod is connected to one side of the first movable block. The first and second movable blocks can move synchronously, and a pull ring is provided on the outer wall of the first movable block for easy operation.

[0013] This invention provides a handle assembly for an air fryer pot. It offers the following advantages:

[0014] 1. The handle assembly for the air fryer body, when using the rotating knob, its inner wall toothed structure drives the second gear, which in turn drives the first gear to rotate, causing the threaded cylinder to rotate synchronously. Since the threaded rod is screwed into the threaded cylinder and is axially fixed, the rotation of the threaded cylinder forces the threaded rod to move linearly, pushing the moving cylinder to extend and retract. At the same time, the moving cylinder cooperates with the second guide rail of the fixed cylinder through the second slider to ensure smooth movement and prevent derailment. This design solves the problem of fixed handle length and large space occupation of traditional handles. Users can precisely adjust the handle length according to their needs, improving storage convenience and operating comfort.

[0015] 2. This handle assembly for the air fryer body, when in use, involves pulling the first moving block, which in turn links the second moving block via the first connecting rod, causing the insert rod to insert into the air fryer mounting slot. Upon release, the spring pushes the second moving block back to its original position, locking the insert rod within the mounting slot. Simultaneously, the first moving block adheres tightly to the mounting plate of the fixed device, and the second slider engages with the groove of the first guide rail, forming a self-locking mechanism. Installation is completed with a single pull, requiring no tools. The elastic tension of the spring ensures a secure fixation, preventing loosening. Compared to traditional screw fixing methods, this significantly improves disassembly and assembly efficiency and facilitates cleaning and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model embodiment provides a handle assembly for an air fryer body, including a fixing device 7, a connecting frame 6, a movable cylinder 1, and a fixed cylinder 2. The fixing device 7 is connected to the movable cylinder 1 through the connecting frame 6. The movable cylinder 1 is provided with the fixed cylinder 2. The lower end of the fixed cylinder 2 is provided with a mounting ring 5. The outer wall of the mounting ring 5 is provided with a knob 3. The mounting ring 5 is provided with a second connecting rod 16. The upper end of the second connecting rod 16 is provided with a threaded cylinder 17. The threaded cylinder 17 is provided with a threaded rod 18. One end of the threaded rod 18 is connected to the movable cylinder 1. The movable cylinder 1 is provided with a second slider 14. The fixed cylinder 2 is provided with a second guide rail 13. The second slider 14 is located in the second guide rail 13. When the knob 3 is rotated, the toothed structure drives the second gear 11. The second gear 11 drives the first gear 12. The first gear 12 causes the threaded cylinder 17 to rotate through the second connecting rod 16. The threaded rod 18 moves axially within the threaded cylinder 17, pushing the movable cylinder 1 to extend and retract. The movable cylinder 1 moves linearly through the cooperation of the second slider 14 and the second guide rail 13 to prevent the second slider 14 from derailing, ensuring stability.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment, the lower end of the second connecting rod 16 is provided with a first gear 12, the first gear 12 is provided with a first rotating rod 15, the lower end of the first rotating rod 15 is provided with a first bearing 10, and the first bearing 10 is connected to the bottom cover 4.

[0028] The first gear 12 meshes with two second gears 11. The second gear 11 has a second rotating rod 8 inside. The second rotating rod 8 has a second bearing 9 at both ends. The upper second bearing 9 is connected to the mounting ring 5, and the lower second bearing 9 is connected to the bottom cover 4. The two ends of the second rotating rod 8 are connected to the mounting ring 5 and the bottom cover 4 respectively through the second bearing 9, forming a stable rotation axis to ensure that the gear meshing clearance is constant.

[0029] The fixed device 7 is provided with two first guide rails 703, and the first guide rails 703 are provided with first sliders 706.

[0030] The first slider 706 is connected to one end of the spring 702, and the other end of the spring 702 is connected to the second moving block 701. The fixed device 7 is provided with a through groove 705. When the first slider 706 slides in the first guide rail 703, it compresses the spring 702 to store energy. When the first slider 706 moves to the protrusion at the end of the first guide rail 703, the spring 702 releases tension and pushes the first moving block 708 to fit tightly against the outer wall of the mounting plate of the fixed device 7. The insertion rod 704 is inserted into the mounting groove on the outer wall of the air fryer.

[0031] The second moving block 701 is connected to the first moving block 708 via the first connecting rod 707. A plug rod 704 is connected to one side of the first moving block 708. The first moving block 708 and the second moving block 701 are rigidly connected via the first connecting rod 707. Pulling up the first moving block 708 can synchronously control the movement of the plug rod 704, simplifying the operation steps.

[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when using this device, the knob 3 is rotated by hand. The toothed structure on the inner wall of the knob 3 drives the second gear 11 to rotate. Since the second gear 11 meshes with the first gear 12, the rotation of the second gear 11 drives the first gear 12 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 12 causes the threaded cylinder 17 to rotate, thereby causing the threaded rod 18 inside the threaded cylinder 17 to rotate and move axially, ultimately causing the moving cylinder 1 to move. Furthermore, through the second slider 14 on the moving cylinder 1 and the second guide rail 13 on the fixed cylinder 2, the moving cylinder 1 only moves axially and will not disengage from the fixed cylinder 2. Button 3 precisely controls the overall length of the handle, solving the problems of traditional handles taking up a lot of space and being inconvenient to store. By pulling up and pushing the first moving block 708, the second moving block 701 can be moved, allowing the insert rod 704 to quickly move to the mounting groove on the outer wall of the air fryer. When the first moving block 708 is released, the second moving block 701 is moved away from the mounting plate of the fixed device 7 by the elastic tension of the spring 702. At the same time, the first moving block 708 is pressed tightly against the mounting plate of the fixed device 7, and the second slider 14 is inserted into the groove behind the protruding structure at one end of the second guide rail 13, completing the installation and fixation of the handle assembly.
