Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of kitchenware technology, and specifically relates to a colander with a foldable handle. Background Technology

[0002] A slotted spoon is a kitchen tool made of materials such as metal or silicone, with dense holes in the middle. It is mainly used to scoop out food and filter excess liquid in situations such as frying and hot pot.

[0003] Most common strainers are one-piece structures, but this results in a long strainer, affecting its storage and transportation. Therefore, some strainers on the market can be folded, such as the hot pot strainer with an adjustable handle disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent CN 201520775674.9. It includes a spoon body and a handle. One end of the handle is fixed to the spoon body as the handle base, and the other end is the handle tail. The handle tail and handle base are movably connected. A baffle is provided at the end of the handle base near the handle tail. The handle tail is connected to the handle base by a pin and can be rotated and folded downwards. A quick push-pull locking device that can slide along the handle tail is provided. The quick push-pull locking device has an elastic pressure plate or hard plate that engages with the baffle at the handle base.

[0004] In the above structure, the spoon body and handle are fixed relatively by the elastic pressure plate or the hard plate. When the weight of the item in the spoon body is too large or after long-term use, the baffle, elastic pressure plate or hard plate is prone to deformation or damage, which affects the service life of the scoop. In addition, in order to prevent the elastic pressure plate or hard plate from accidentally detaching from the baffle, the elastic pressure plate or hard plate and the baffle need to be tightly fitted, which makes it inconvenient for the spoon body and handle to be quickly unfolded or folded.

[0018] 1. In this utility model, the relative movement of the spoon body and handle is restricted by the connecting sleeve and the connecting protrusion, and the spoon body and handle are kept in the unfolded state. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture. Compared with the existing technology that uses a baffle structure to control the stable unfolding of the spoon body and handle, the connecting sleeve has higher structural strength and longer service life. In addition, the connecting sleeve and the connecting protrusion do not need to be tightly fitted, which facilitates the quick disassembly and connection of the connecting sleeve and the connecting protrusion, making it convenient for the ladle to unfold and fold quickly, and convenient for the user.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, the connecting protrusion extending upwards towards the spoon body facilitates the connection sleeve to maintain a proper fit with the connecting protrusion, preventing accidental detachment of the connecting sleeve from the connecting protrusion during use, thus making it convenient for the user; the inclined guide surface facilitates the quick connection between the connecting sleeve and the connecting protrusion, allowing the strainer to unfold quickly, making it convenient for the user.

[0020] 3. The elastic arm in this utility model facilitates the user's control over the disassembly and assembly of the handle and the spoon body, making the assembly and disassembly of the colander easier and more convenient for the user. The gripping part and the connecting part prevent the connecting sleeve from accidentally detaching from the handle, making it convenient for the user and facilitating the assembly of the colander.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0032] See Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a colander with a foldable handle 2 includes a spoon body 1 and a handle 2. The spoon body 1 has a storage cavity 15 and a connecting seat 14. The handle 2 includes a gripping part 21 and a connecting part 23 connected to the connecting seat 14. It is movably mounted on the connecting seat 14 and can be flipped and folded towards the spoon body 1. A connecting sleeve 3 is movably mounted on the handle 2. The spoon body 1 has a connecting protrusion 16 that matches the connecting sleeve 3. The connecting sleeve 3 and the connecting protrusion 16 cooperate to restrict the relative movement of the spoon body 1 and the handle 2 and keep the spoon body 1 and the handle 2 in an unfolded state. In this structure, the connecting sleeve 3 and the connecting protrusion 16 cooperate to restrict the relative movement of the spoon body 1 and the handle 2 and keep the spoon body 1 and the handle 2 in an unfolded state. The connecting sleeve 3 and the connecting protrusion 16 restrict the relative movement of the spoon body 1 and the handle 2, and keep the spoon body 1 and the handle 2 in an unfolded state. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture. Compared with the existing technology that uses a baffle structure to control the stable unfolding of the spoon body 1 and the handle 2, the connecting sleeve 3 has higher structural strength and a longer service life. In addition, the connecting sleeve 3 and the connecting protrusion 16 do not need to be tightly fitted. The connecting sleeve 3 only needs to be put on the connecting protrusion 16 to prevent the scoop from folding. It is easy to quickly disassemble and connect the connecting sleeve 3 and the connecting protrusion 16, and it is convenient for the scoop to unfold and fold quickly, making it convenient for users.

[0033] In this embodiment, the connecting sleeve 3 is provided with a limiting cavity 31, and the connecting protrusion 16 can be inserted into the limiting cavity 31 to restrict the relative movement of the spoon body 1 and the handle 2.

[0034] In this utility model, the connecting protrusion 16 preferably extends upward toward the spoon body 1, and the connecting sleeve 3 can engage with or disengage from the connecting protrusion 16 from the upper end of the connecting protrusion 16; under the action of gravity, the connecting sleeve 3 can maintain engagement with the connecting protrusion 16, preventing the connecting sleeve 3 from accidentally disengaging from the connecting protrusion 16, preventing the handle 2 and the spoon body 1 from accidentally folding during use, and making it convenient for users to use.

[0035] The upper end of the connecting protrusion 16 is provided with an inclined guide surface 161. The connecting sleeve 3 can be guided by the guide surface 161 and cooperate with the connecting protrusion 16. The inclined guide surface 161 facilitates the quick connection between the connecting sleeve 3 and the connecting protrusion 16, making it easy for the colander to unfold quickly and for the user to use. In this embodiment, the connecting protrusion 16 is made of a metal wire with a circular cross-section. The guide surface 161 is the arc-shaped outer wall of the metal wire and the arc-shaped surface formed by bending the metal wire. This structure facilitates the production and processing of the colander and helps to reduce the weight of the colander, making it convenient for the user to use.

[0036] The connecting sleeve 3 described in this utility model is an annular ring made of metal wire. The metal wire has an arc-shaped sidewall 32. The connecting sleeve 3 can be guided by the arc-shaped sidewall 32 and cooperate with the connecting protrusion 16. Since the connecting sleeve 3 is an annular ring made of metal wire, it is convenient to manufacture and process the connecting sleeve 3. The arc-shaped sidewall 32 facilitates the quick connection between the connecting sleeve 3 and the connecting protrusion 16, making it convenient for the strainer to unfold quickly and for the user to use.

[0037] The connecting seat 14 is provided with two connecting slots 17, and the handle 2 is provided with an elastic arm. The elastic arm is provided with connecting parts 23 that are adapted to the two connecting slots 17 respectively. By controlling the deformation of the elastic arm, the connecting parts 23 can be disengaged from the connecting slots 17, thereby allowing the handle 2 to be disassembled from the spoon body 1. The elastic arm makes it easy for the user to control the disassembly and installation of the handle 2 and the spoon body 1, which facilitates the assembly, production, disassembly and maintenance of the sieve and makes it convenient for the user.

[0038] The handle 2 described in this utility model includes a gripping part 21. An installation part 22 for installing a connecting sleeve 3 is provided between the gripping part 21 and the connecting part 23. The gripping part 21 and the connecting part 23 can limit the range of motion of the connecting sleeve 3 and prevent the connecting sleeve 3 from detaching from the installation part 22. The elastic arm can deform and displace the connecting part 23, so that the connecting sleeve 3 can pass over the connecting part 23 and be installed or detached from the handle 2. The gripping part 21 and the connecting part 23 prevent the connecting sleeve 3 from accidentally detaching from the handle 2, making it convenient for users to use and facilitating the assembly and production of the colander. When the user needs to disassemble the connecting sleeve 3, the deformation of the elastic arm can be controlled, making it convenient for users to use.

[0039] The elastic arm can be a part of the handle 2 that is independent of the gripping part 21 and the mounting part 22. The elastic arm can also be a gripping part 21 or a mounting part 22 with elasticity. The elastic arm can also be formed by combining a gripping part 21 with elasticity and a mounting part 22. In this embodiment, the handle 2 is made of elastic metal wire. The handle 2 is U-shaped. The two ends of the U-shaped handle 2 are bent to form connecting parts 23. The two connecting parts 23 can be arranged opposite each other or back to back. Under the action of external force, the U-shaped handle 2 can deform and make the two connecting parts 23 move closer or further apart. In this structure, the width of the gripping part 21 on the handle 2 is greater than the width of the mounting part 22, the width of the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 3 is less than the width of the gripping part 21, and the width of the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 3 is greater than the width of the mounting part 22. This structure facilitates the movement of the connecting sleeve 3 on the mounting part 22 and can prevent the connecting sleeve 3 from moving onto the mounting part 22.

[0040] The connecting groove 17 described in this utility model is set in the storage cavity 15. The handle 2 extends into the storage cavity 15 and cooperates with the connecting groove 17. The handle 2 can be flipped towards the spoon body 1 and stored in the storage cavity 15. The connecting groove 17 set in the storage cavity 15 makes it easy for the handle 2 to be bent and stored in the storage cavity 15, which facilitates the storage and transportation of the strainer.

[0041] The connecting protrusion 16 is located on the side of the mounting part 22 near the side wall of the storage cavity 15. It controls the relative unfolding of the spoon body 1 and the handle 2. The mounting part 22 can abut against the connecting protrusion 16 and support the handle 2 through the connecting protrusion 16. This structure is conducive to the stable unfolding of the spoon body 1 and the handle 2. Moreover, the support of the handle 2 by the connecting protrusion 16 can increase the distance between the support position of the spoon body 1 and the handle 2 and the connecting part 23, which helps to reduce the relative force between the spoon body 1 and the handle 2, avoid deformation and damage of the spoon body 1 and the handle 2, and help to extend the service life of the sieve.

[0042] In this embodiment, the mounting part 22 is bent into an L shape. The lower part of the mounting part 22 extends vertically and is connected to the connecting part 23. The upper part of the mounting part 22 extends horizontally and is connected to the gripping part 21. When the spoon body 1 and the handle 2 are unfolded relative to each other, the vertically extended part of the mounting part 22 abuts against the connecting protrusion 16 under the action of gravity.

[0043] The spoon body 1 includes a strainer 11, a storage cavity 15 is disposed in the strainer 11, a reinforcing edge 12 is provided at the end of the strainer 11, a reinforcing plate 13 is fixedly disposed on the strainer 11, and a connecting seat 14 is fixedly disposed on the reinforcing plate 13. The setting of the reinforcing plate 13 helps to increase the contact area between the connecting seat 14 and the spoon body 1, and improves the structural strength of the connection position between the connecting seat 14 and the spoon body 1, so as to avoid deformation and damage of the strainer 11 during use, and thus help to extend the service life of the strainer.

[0044] In this utility model, both the strainer 11 and the reinforcing plate 13 are made of metal. The reinforcing plate 13 includes an inner plate 131 and an outer plate 132 extending to the inner and outer sides of the strainer 11. The inner plate 131 and the outer plate 132 are conveniently welded to the opposite positions on the inner and outer sides of the strainer 11. Welding the inner plate 131 and the outer plate 132 to the opposite positions on the inner and outer sides of the strainer 11 helps to prevent the strainer 11 from being damaged during use and helps to extend the service life of the strainer. In this embodiment, the diameter of the reinforcing edge 12 is larger than the thickness of the strainer 11. The reinforcing plate 13 is provided with a fixing groove 133 for covering the reinforcing edge 12.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
