Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchenware technology, specifically to a folding handle for a cookware. Background Technology

[0002] The handle on a cookware is used by the user to grip and move the cookware. Generally, the handle on a cookware is directly fixed to the pot body with screws. To solve the problem of cookware taking up a lot of space and being inconvenient to store, an existing patent (publication number CN117137350A) discloses a cookware handle and cookware that are easy to disassemble and fold. It uses a rotating structure to allow the handle to rotate horizontally. Although it can achieve folding and storage of the handle and reduce the space occupied, the horizontally folded handle is located on one side of the cookware and still occupies a certain amount of space. This results in the overall width of the cookware still being relatively wide. In some limited storage spaces (for example, storage space can only accommodate the length, width and height of the cookware, and the horizontally folded handle located on one side of the cookware will conflict), the handle may come into contact with other objects, making it impossible to store. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a folding handle for a cookware to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a folding handle for a cookware, comprising a gripping part and a cookware connecting part rotatably connected to one end of the gripping part and used for fixing to the cookware.

[0005] It also includes a locking assembly connected inside the grip portion to restrict the unidirectional rotation of the cookware connection portion, and the locking assembly includes a rotating portion rotatably connected to one side of the grip portion, a limiting plate rotatably connected to the other side of the grip portion, and a connecting portion connecting the rotating portion and the limiting plate, wherein the limiting plate is an incomplete circular shape.

[0006] In one embodiment, the connecting portion includes an extension integrally formed on one side of the rotating portion, a slot formed inside the extension, and a plug portion integrally formed on one side of the limiting plate and inserted into the slot.

[0007] In one embodiment, a limiting flange is integrally formed on one side of the rotating part, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the outside of the extension and connected to the limiting flange at one end.

[0008] In one embodiment, the gripping part has a first movable groove and a second movable groove on both sides, and the gripping part has a connecting groove inside that connects the first movable groove and the second movable groove. The rotating part is rotatably connected in the first movable groove, and the limiting plate is rotatably connected in the second movable groove. The extension part and the torsion spring are both located in the connecting groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, an arc-shaped groove is formed on the inner wall of the connecting groove, and the limiting flange is located in the arc-shaped groove, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, an anti-foolproof flange is integrally formed on the inner wall of the slot, and an anti-foolproof arc surface adapted to the anti-foolproof flange is formed on the outer surface of the insertion part.

[0011] In one embodiment, one end of the gripping part is further provided with a positioning groove that communicates with the movable groove two, and one side of the cookware connecting part is integrally formed with a positioning flange, which is located in the positioning groove and is limited by a limiting plate.

[0012] In one embodiment, a locking part is integrally formed on one side of the cookware connecting part, and a limiting plate is located between the positioning flange and the locking part.

[0013] In one embodiment, a nameplate is provided at one end of the grip portion.

[0014] In one embodiment, the gripping part has a through hole inside.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0016] 1. This application adopts a vertical folding method. By rotating the rotating part, the one-way restriction on the cookware connection part can be eliminated, so that the handle can be vertically flipped and folded to the top of the cookware. After folding, the free end of the handle is lower than the handle on the top of the cookware lid. In this way, the space occupied by the cookware after the handle is folded can be greatly reduced, and the cookware can be stored in some limited storage space.

[0017] 2. This application employs a torsion spring design. When the rotating part is rotated to release the restriction on the cookware connection part, the positioning flange can move out of the positioning groove. At the same time, the limiting flange applies force to the torsion spring, causing the torsion spring to store force. When the rotating part is released, since the positioning flange has moved out of the positioning groove, the limiting plate is restricted by the cookware connection part and cannot rotate back to its original position. In this state, the handle can be folded. When the handle is rotated back and unfolded and the folding is released, the positioning flange re-enters the positioning groove. The torsion spring is released and generates force to drive the rotating part and the limiting plate to automatically rotate back to their original positions. At this time, the limiting plate resets and can re-limit the positioning flange. This design eliminates the need to adjust the rotating part to re-limit the positioning flange after the handle is unfolded, making it more convenient and faster to use. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-7 This application provides a technical solution: a folding handle for a cookware, including a gripping part 1 and a cookware connecting part 4 rotatably connected to one end of the gripping part 1 and used for fixing to the cookware.

[0028] It also includes a locking assembly 5 connected inside the grip 1 to restrict the unidirectional rotation of the cookware connection part 4, and the locking assembly 5 includes a rotating part 51 rotatably connected to one side of the grip 1, a limiting plate 54 rotatably connected to the other side of the grip 1, and a connecting part that connects the rotating part 51 and the limiting plate 54 and can self-reset, wherein the limiting plate 54 is an incomplete circular shape.

[0029] The connecting part includes an extension 52 integrally formed on one side of the rotating part 51, a slot 521 opened inside the extension 52, a plug part 541 integrally formed on one side of the limiting plate 54 and inserted into the slot 521 (the plug part 541 is tapped during installation to make it enter the slot 521 and lock), a limiting flange 511 integrally formed on one side of the rotating part 51, and a torsion spring 53 sleeved on the outside of the extension 52 and connected at one end to the limiting flange 511.

[0030] The gripping part 1 has a first movable groove 11 and a second movable groove 13 on both sides, and the gripping part 1 has a connecting groove 12 that connects the first movable groove 11 and the second movable groove 13. The rotating part 51 is rotatably connected in the first movable groove 11, and the limiting plate 54 is rotatably connected in the second movable groove 13. The extension part 52 and the torsion spring 53 are both located in the connecting groove 12.

[0031] An arc-shaped groove 14 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting groove 12, and the limiting flange 511 is located in the arc-shaped groove 14. The other end of the torsion spring 53 is connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 14.

[0032] One end of the gripping part 1 is also provided with a positioning groove 15 that communicates with the movable groove 13. The pot connecting part 4 has a positioning flange 41 integrally formed on one side, and the positioning flange 41 is located in the positioning groove 15 and is limited by the limiting plate 54. The pot connecting part 4 has a locking part 42 integrally formed on one side, and the limiting plate 54 is located between the positioning flange 41 and the locking part 42 (the locking part 42 and the positioning flange 41 cooperate to securely lock the limiting plate 54, preventing the limiting plate 54 from being tilted up due to excessive pressure during the tossing action. The locking part 42 can reduce the risk of deformation or disengagement of the limiting plate 54).

[0033] By adopting the above solution, the cookware connecting part 4 is screwed onto the cookware with bolts. Under normal conditions, the limiting plate 54 can limit the positioning flange 41, preventing the positioning flange 41 from moving out of the positioning groove 15. At this time, the cookware connecting part 4 cannot rotate counterclockwise relative to the grip part 1 (according to...). Figure 1 (The viewing angle in the middle cannot be rotated counterclockwise). When it is necessary to fold the grip part 1, the rotating part 51 is rotated counterclockwise. The rotation of the rotating part 51 drives the extension part 52 to rotate. The rotation of the extension part 52 drives the insertion part 541 and the limiting plate 54 to rotate. Since the limiting plate 54 is not a complete circle, there is a part missing on the outer surface of the limiting plate 54, and the surface of the missing part is a straight surface. Therefore, when the limiting plate 54 rotates with the insertion part 541 until the straight surface is parallel to the positioning flange 41, the limiting plate 54 cannot limit the positioning flange 41 (e.g., Figure 3As shown, in its normal state, the limiting plate 54 limits the positioning flange 41 through its circular portion, preventing the cookware connecting part 4 from rotating counterclockwise relative to the gripping part 1. When the straight surface of the missing part of the limiting plate 54 is parallel to the positioning flange 41, the positioning flange 41 is no longer limited by the limiting plate 54, allowing the cookware connecting part 4 to rotate counterclockwise within the gripping part 1, thus folding the gripping part 1 onto the cookware. When the rotating part 51 removes the limitation on the cookware connecting part 4, the positioning flange 41 can move out of the positioning groove 15. Simultaneously, the limiting flange 511 applies force to the torsion spring 53, causing the torsion spring 53 to store power. At this point, the rotating part 51 is released, allowing the cookware connecting part 4 to rotate counterclockwise. When the positioning flange 41 moves out of the positioning groove 15, the limiting plate 54 is restricted by the cookware connecting part 4 and cannot rotate back to its original position. In this state, the grip part 1 can be folded. When the grip part 1 is rotated out and the folding is lifted, the positioning flange 41 re-enters the positioning groove 15. The torsion spring 53 is released and generates a force acting on the limiting flange 511, which drives the rotating part 51 and the limiting plate 54 to automatically rotate back to their original positions. At this time, the limiting plate 54 can re-limit the positioning flange 41. This design eliminates the need to adjust the rotating part 51 to re-limit the positioning flange 41 after the grip part 1 is unfolded, making it more convenient and faster to use.

[0034] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, an anti-foolproof flange 522 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the slot 521, and an anti-foolproof arc surface 542 adapted to the anti-foolproof flange 522 is formed on the outer surface of the insertion part 541. The anti-foolproof flange 522 can cooperate with the anti-foolproof arc surface 542, so that when the extension part 52 rotates, it can drive the insertion part 541 and the limiting plate 54 to rotate.

[0035] A nameplate 3 is provided at one end of the grip part 1 to display the brand information of the handle.

[0036] The gripping part 1 has a through hole 2 inside, through which a hook can pass to facilitate hanging the gripping part 1 and the cookware.
