Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cookware, and in particular to a pot with automatically folding horn-shaped handles. Background Technology

[0002] A cookware is a cooking utensil with a handle at one end, which the user holds to move the cookware and perform cooking operations. When cooking heavy ingredients, it is inconvenient for the user to lift the cookware with one hand using the handle. Therefore, pot handles are additionally installed on the cookware, which the user uses to assist in lifting the cookware.

[0003] However, in narrower kitchens, the size of the pot handles is fixed, and the pot handles protrude outwards, making it easy for them to hit the front wall during cooking, which affects the cooking process. This results in a limited range of applicability for cookware with such pot handles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a pot with an automatic folding horn-shaped handle. The rotating rack can be opened to facilitate the user to insert a spatula into the handle to help lift the pot. When the rotating rack is not needed, it can be automatically folded under the pot to avoid hitting the front wall during cooking, thus expanding its applicability.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is a pot with an automatic folding horn handle, including a pot body, a handle installed at one end of the pot body, a rotating seat installed at the other end of the pot body opposite to the handle, a rotating frame inserted on the rotating seat, a torsion spring connecting the rotating seat and the rotating frame, and the rotating frame having a spoon insertion channel.

[0006] Preferably, the rotating frame includes a main plate, two rotating plates integrally and symmetrically connected to both ends of one side of the main plate, and a pot ear integrally connected to the other side of the main plate. The spoon insertion channel is located at the pot ear. The rotating plate is an L-shaped plate. The rotating seat has an installation channel for the two rotating plates to extend into and move. A torsion spring is sleeved on the opposite end of the two rotating plates and abuts against the rotating seat.

[0007] Preferably, the pot handle has a bull horn-shaped structure.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating plate has an insertion hole for inserting one end of the torsion spring, and a rotating seat has a groove for extending the other end of the torsion spring. A baffle is provided at the groove opening to block the outside of the end of the torsion spring.

[0009] Preferably, the included angle between the rotating plate and the pot ear is less than 180°.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: In this utility model, when the user needs to lift the pot, the user holds the handle with one hand and the spatula with the other, inserting the spatula into the inside of the pot's handle to rotate the rotating frame outwards. The spatula then lifts the rotating frame, assisting in lifting the pot. When the rotating frame is not needed, the spatula is removed, and the torsion spring automatically folds the rotating frame under the pot, preventing it from hitting the front wall during cooking, making it suitable for narrow kitchens.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the pot with an automatic folding horn-shaped handle proposed in this embodiment includes a pot body 1, a handle 2 installed at one end of the pot body 1, and a rotating base 3 installed at the other end of the pot body 1 opposite to the handle 2, which can be fixed to the pot body 1 by riveting or welding. A rotating frame 4 is inserted through the rotating base 3, and a torsion spring 5 is connected between the rotating base 3 and the rotating frame 4. The torsion spring 5 is used to realize the reverse reset of the rotating frame 4 after it is rotated open.

[0018] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotating frame 4 comprises a main plate 41, two rotating plate parts 42 integrally and symmetrically connected to both ends of one side of the main plate 41, and a pot ear part 43 integrally connected to the other side of the main plate 41. The main plate 41, rotating plate parts 42, and pot ear part 43 are all plate-shaped structures, integrally formed. The opposite ends of the two rotating plate parts 42 can also be designed as elliptical or circular. The pot ear part 43 has a ladle insertion channel 431, and the rotating plate parts 42 are L-shaped plates.

[0019] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating base 3 has an installation channel 301 for the two rotating plate parts 42 to extend into and move within the installation channel 301. The rotating frame 4 rotates by the movement of the rotating plate parts 42 within the installation channel 301. A torsion spring 5 is sleeved on the opposite end of the two rotating plate parts 42 and abuts against the rotating base 3. When the rotating plate parts 42 rotate outwards, they cause the torsion spring 5 to twist. The rotating base 3 blocks the torsion spring 5, allowing it to store elastic potential energy. When the rotating frame 4 is released, the torsion spring 5 automatically reverses the rotation of the rotating frame 4, folding it under the pot body 1 to prevent it from hitting the front kitchen wall.

[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, the pot handle 43 has a horn-shaped structure. The spoon insertion channel 431 has a U-shaped opening, with the outer opening size smaller than the inner size. The user can insert the spatula into the U-shaped opening and lift the pot using the rotating bracket 4. The wider inner ends of the horn-shaped structure provide support points for the spatula. The two ends of the spatula, in the width direction, abut against the inner ends of the pot handle 43, allowing the pot handle 43 to withstand greater force.

[0021] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a rotating plate portion 42 has an insertion hole 421 for inserting one end of the torsion spring 5, and a rotating base 3 has a groove 302 for extending the other end of the torsion spring 5. A baffle portion 31 is provided at the opening of the groove 302 to block the outside of the end of the torsion spring 5. When the rotating frame 4 rotates outward, the rotating frame 4 drives the torsion spring 5 to rotate through the insertion hole 421 on the rotating plate portion 42. The baffle portion 31 blocks the other end of the torsion spring 5, thereby causing the torsion spring 5 to twist and store elastic potential energy.

[0022] In this embodiment, when the user needs to lift the pot, the user holds the handle 2 with one hand and the spatula with the other, inserting the spatula into the inside of the pot's ear 43 to rotate the rotating frame 4 outwards. The spatula then lifts the rotating frame 4, assisting in lifting the pot. The user's two-handed operation effectively lifts the pot. After the pot is put down, when the rotating frame 4 is no longer needed, the spatula is removed, and the torsion spring 5 releases its elastic potential energy, automatically folding the rotating frame 4 under the pot. This prevents the pot from hitting the front wall during cooking, broadening its applicability and making it suitable for narrow kitchens.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] This embodiment proposes a pot with an automatic folding horn-shaped handle. Compared with the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the angle between the rotating plate 42 and the handle 43 is less than 180°, that is, the entire rotating frame 4 is a bent structure. In the naturally folded state of the rotating frame 4, the handle 43 is tilted against the pot body 1, but the entire rotating frame 4 will not be exposed from the projection range of the pot body 1 and will not touch the front wall of the kitchen. The handle 43 is only for the user to insert the spatula into the inner side of the spatula insertion channel 431, which facilitates the auxiliary lifting operation of the pot.

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
