[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a self-locking detachable cookware handle includes a connector 1 and a handle 2. The connector 1 is installed on the cookware 3, and the handle 2 is connected to the cookware 3 through the connector 1. The handle 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 21, a locking part 22, and a spring 23. The connector 1 has a limiting slot 11. When the handle 2 and the connector 1 are mated, the snap-fit ​​part 21 is inserted into the limiting slot 11 to achieve a positioning connection between the handle 2 and the connector 1. One end of the spring 23 is connected to the handle 2, and the other end is connected to the locking part 22. The preload of the spring 23 drives the locking part 22 to contact the connector 1 to restrict the snap-fit ​​part 21 from moving in the opposite direction to the insertion direction, thereby achieving a locking connection between the handle 2 and the connector 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, the connector 1 is directly connected to the cookware 3, and is fixed to the side wall or edge of the cookware 3 by welding, threaded connection, or other methods, serving as the connecting component between the handle 2 and the cookware 3. The handle 2 is indirectly connected to the cookware 3 through the connector 1. The handle 2 contains a snap-fit ​​component 21, a locking component 22, and a spring 23. Through the cooperation of these components with the connector 1, the handle 2 and the connector 1 are positioned, connected, and locked. It is understood that when the handle 2 and the connector 1 are mated, the operator first uses their fingers to push the locking component 22 away from the connector 1, overcoming the pre-tension force of the spring 23, thus unlocking the handle. The snap-fit ​​component 21 of the handle 2 can then smoothly and accurately engage with the limiting slot 11 of the connector 1, achieving initial positioning and connection between the handle 2 and the connector 1. This snap-fit ​​method allows the handle 2 to be quickly positioned during installation, improving installation efficiency. Simultaneously, after the handle 2 and connector 1 are inserted and positioned, the operator releases the force applied to the locking member 2. Due to the pre-tension of the spring 23, the spring 23 drives the locking member 22 to contact the connector 1. In this way, the spring 23 restricts the movement of the latching member 21 in the opposite direction to the insertion direction, thereby restricting the separation of the handle 2 and connector 1 and realizing the automatic connection and locking of the two. This design ensures that the handle 2 will not easily loosen or fall off during use, greatly improving the stability of the connection. When disassembling the handle 2, it is only necessary to apply external force to drive the locking member 22 to move away from the connector 1 and compress the spring 23 until the locking member 22 is disengaged from the connector 1, thereby unlocking the handle 2 and connector 1. At this time, the latching member 21 can move in the opposite direction to the insertion process of the connector 1, thereby separating the handle 2 from the connector 1. The handle 2 can then be easily removed from the connector 1 and the cookware 3, greatly improving the convenience of use and facilitating the cleaning, storage, and transportation of the cookware 3.

[0025] The self-locking detachable cookware handle of this embodiment, through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​part 21 and the limiting slot 11, enables the handle 2 and the connecting part 1 to be quickly positioned. Combined with the locking function of the spring 23 and the locking part 22, it achieves a quick and stable connection and disassembly between the handle 2 and the cookware 3. The operation process is simple and quick, solving the problems of cumbersome disassembly and installation and unstable connection of existing cookware handles, improving the convenience and safety of use. It is suitable for various types of cookware 3, has strong versatility, can meet the usage needs of different users for different cookware 3, and has broad application prospects.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the specific implementation of this application, the handle 2 has a mating groove 24 for mating with the connector 1. A limiting part 25 is provided in the mating groove 24. When the handle 2 and the connector 1 are mated, the limiting part 25 contacts the connector 1 to limit the insertion depth of the locking member 21. Specifically, when the handle 2 and the connector 1 are mated, the connector 1 enters the mating groove 24 from the opening until the limiting part 25 contacts the connector 1. At this time, the limiting part 25 restricts the handle 2 from continuing to move along the insertion direction, thereby limiting the insertion depth of the locking member 21, ensuring that the handle 2 and the connector 1 are assembled in place, achieving precise positioning of the handle 2. Simultaneously, because the locking member 22 limits the handle 2 from the opposite direction of the insertion direction, the locking member 22 and the limiting part 25, in two opposite directions on the same straight line, form a double limiting structure, thereby achieving locking between the handle 2 and the connector 1.

[0027] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in the specific implementation of this application, the preload of the spring 23 drives the locking member 22 to be placed in the groove of the mating groove 24, and the locking member 22 contacts the top of the connecting member 1 to prevent the snap-fit ​​member 21 from exiting the groove of the mating groove 24. It can be understood that when the handle 2 moves in the opposite direction to the insertion direction, the preload applied by the spring 23 securely embeds the locking member 22 in the groove of the mating groove 24. At this time, the upper surface of the locking member 22 is in close contact with the top surface of the connecting member 1, forming a mechanical limiting structure through surface contact, preventing the connecting member 1 from coming out of the groove of the mating groove 24. This design, through the above-mentioned double limiting structure, effectively enhances the locking reliability of the handle and the connecting member 1, avoiding accidental separation due to external force during use.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in the specific implementation of this application, the limiting part 25 is disposed at the bottom of the docking groove 24. When the handle 2 and the connector 1 are docked, the limiting part 25 contacts the bottom of the connector 1. By precisely matching the limiting part 25 disposed at the bottom of the docking groove 24 with the bottom of the connector 1, a dual protection effect is achieved: on the one hand, during the docking process of the handle 2 and the connector 1, the limiting part 25 can form a rigid restriction through physical contact, accurately controlling the insertion depth of the snap-fit ​​21, avoiding the risk of structural deformation due to excessive insertion or loosening due to insufficient insertion; on the other hand, in conjunction with the above-mentioned dual limiting structure, the stability and reliability of the overall structure are effectively enhanced. In other embodiments, the limiting part 25 can also be disposed on the inner wall of the docking groove 24, and snap-fit ​​limiting can be achieved by setting a snap-fit ​​block at a corresponding position on the side of the connector 1; or the limiting part 25 can be disposed at the top of the limiting slot 11 to snap-fit ​​limiting the snap-fit ​​21.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in the specific implementation of this application, the limiting slots 11 are formed on both sides of the connector 1; two locking members 21 are provided, respectively disposed on the inner walls of both sides of the mating groove 24; when the handle 2 is mated with the connector 1, the locking members 21 are inserted into the limiting slots 11 one by one. It can be understood that when the handle 2 is mated with the connector 1, the two locking members 21 are inserted into the limiting slots 11 on both sides one by one. The double-sided locking method ensures that the handle 2 is subjected to uniform constraint force in all directions, further improving the stability of the connection and effectively preventing the handle from shaking during use.

[0030] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in the specific implementation of this application, the locking member 22 includes a contact part 221, a connecting part 222, and a driving part 223; the handle 2 has a sliding hole 26, the connecting part 222 passes through the sliding hole 26, and the connecting part 222 is connected to one end of the spring 23; the driving part 223 and the contact part 221 are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the connecting part 222; the preload of the spring 23 drives the connecting part 222 to move towards the connector 1, and places the contact part 221 in the groove of the mating groove 24. During the assembly and unlocking process, the operator first applies force with their fingers to push the driving part 223, causing it to move away from the connector 1; during this process, the connecting part 222 slides synchronously in the sliding hole 26, driving the contact part 221 to overcome the preload of the spring 23, disengage from the groove of the mating groove 24, and complete the unlocking action, so that the connector 1 can be smoothly inserted into the handle 2 from the mating groove 24. After the connector 1 and handle 2 are precisely aligned and docked, the operator releases the external force on the drive unit 223. At this time, the elastic potential energy of the spring 23 is released, pushing the connector 222 to drive the contact part 221 to re-insert into the groove of the docking slot 24, achieving a secure lock. Through this structural design that combines spring 23 drive with manual operation, the locking component 22 can flexibly and stably achieve locking and unlocking operations during assembly and daily use.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, in the specific implementation of this application, to prevent the connecting part 222 from rotating in the sliding hole 26 and affecting the locking effect, the connecting part 222 and the sliding hole 26 are set with matching rectangular contours. This design ensures that the connecting part 222 remains stable during movement, improving the reliability of the locking member 22. In addition, the surface of the driving part 223 is provided with anti-slip grooves. The design of the anti-slip grooves facilitates the user's operation of the locking member 22, and allows the user to apply force more easily and accurately when performing unlocking and other operations, improving the convenience of use.

[0032] It should also be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of this utility model and the features therein can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. The scope of protection of the present utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model.
