[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the handle structure of the cookware according to an embodiment of the present disclosure in a folded state;
[0018] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the handle structure of the cookware in the extended state according to an embodiment of this disclosure;
[0019] Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the handle structure according to an embodiment of this disclosure;
[0020] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the placement and storage of cookware according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Detailed Implementation
[0021] The contents of this disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] Currently, the operation of folding pot handles on the market is relatively complicated when open or folded. The handle needs to be pressed firmly into the handle base with a slot to deform it and then locked in place. When folded, the handle is inside the pot, which makes it easy to bump and scratch the coated inner coating of the pot. In addition, the folding handle has many parts, making installation complicated and costly.
[0023] For example, Chinese utility model CN215605212U discloses a cookware with a foldable handle. In addition to the two main components, the handle base and the handle body, the foldable handle also has a short button, a long button, a spring, a fixing screw, and a bottom cover. The foldable handle has many structural parts, making it inconvenient to install and disassemble.
[0024] To address the problem of complex structure and inconvenient installation of folding handle components in cookware in related technologies, this disclosure provides a cookware embodiment. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 4 The cookware includes a pot body 10, a handle structure 20, and a locking component 22.
[0025] The handle structure 20 includes a pot handle base 21, a locking member 22, and a handle body 23. The pot handle base 21 is provided with a rotating hole 24. The handle body 23 includes a rotating shaft 25. The rotating shaft 25 and the rotating hole 24 cooperate to rotate, so that the handle body 23 retracts from the extended position to the storage position located on the lower side of the pot body 10. The locking member 22 is used to fix the handle body 23 and the pot handle base 21.
[0026] The cookware of this embodiment features a simpler handle structure 20, consisting of three parts: a handle base 21, a locking element 22, and a handle body 23. During assembly, the locking element 22 is first inserted into the handle body 23, and then the pivot portion 25 of the handle body is installed into the rotation hole 24 of the handle base 21, thus forming a foldable handle structure 20, which is then fixed to the cookware body. Compared to folding handles in related technologies, the handle base 21 of this embodiment is integrally formed without a locking slot. When the handle is opened, it is not necessary to press the handle body forcefully to deform and lock it in place; instead, the handle body 23 is rotated into position, and then the locking element 22 is used to lock and fix the handle in place. This results in a simpler handle structure, greater convenience and practicality, and improved user experience.
[0027] The cookware of this embodiment features a foldable handle structure for easy transport and storage, reducing the space occupied by the cookware and improving the user experience. The foldable structure also reduces packaging costs. Furthermore, the handle base 21 of the handle structure is integrally formed without any slots. When the handle is opened, it is not necessary to press the handle body to deform and lock it in place. Instead, the handle body 23 is rotated into place and then locked in place by the locking member 22. The handle structure is simpler, more convenient, and more practical, thus improving the user experience.
[0028] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the storage and retrieval of the cookware according to an embodiment of this disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 4As shown, in one disclosed embodiment, the maximum protrusion of the handle 21 from the pot body 10 is less than a preset size. The maximum protrusion of the handle 21 from the pot body 10 can be less than 10cm. The maximum protrusion of the handle 21 from the pot body 10 being less than the preset size can be set according to actual usage requirements and is not limited here.
[0029] The cookware of this embodiment has a simple handle structure 20. The size of the handle structure 20 protruding from the pot body 10 is the maximum size of the pot handle base 21 protruding from the pot body 10. When storing, the folding handle can be stored at the bottom of the pot body, and then the cookware can be stacked and stored in the order of small, medium and large pots. This allows for the storage of multiple cookware, which is convenient for transportation and storage, reduces the space occupied by the cookware, and improves the user experience.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the handle body 23 includes rods 231 that are spaced apart and opposite to each other. One end of the two rods 231 is connected by a pivot 25. The rods 231 include a first part 231a and a second part 231b that are inclined at an angle. The difference between the angle of the first part 231a and the second part 231b and the angle between the bottom and the side wall of the pot is less than a preset value.
[0031] For example, the difference between the angles of the first part 231a and the second part 231b and the angles of the bottom and side walls of the pot body is approximately 0. With this design, after the handle body 23 is folded and stored, the first part 231a and the second part 231b can roughly fit the bottom and side walls of the pot body, thus making the handle body occupy less space after folding.
[0032] In one disclosed embodiment, the length of the second portion 231b is less than the diameter of the bottom of the pot body 10. This arrangement allows the handle body 23 to be completely hidden at the bottom of the pot body 10 after folding and storage.
[0033] In one disclosed embodiment, the pot handle base 21 includes a first handle base 211, a second handle base 212, and a connecting portion 213. The first handle base 211 and the second handle base 212 are spaced apart vertically and connected by the connecting portion 213. The connecting portion 213 has an arc-shaped area extending toward one side of the pot body 10 at the connection position with the first handle base 211. The arc-shaped area forms a rotating hole 24. The first handle base 211 includes a first fixing portion 214, and the second handle base 212 includes a second fixing portion 215. The first fixing portion 214 and the second fixing portion 215 are used to fix to the pot body 10.
[0034] In one disclosed embodiment, the second handle base 212 further includes a boss portion 216, which has a slot formed between the boss portion 216 and the second fixing portion 215 at a distance. A first mating portion is formed on the side of the boss portion 216 facing the pot body 10. The locking member 22 includes a housing 211 that mates with the handle body. A second mating portion is formed inside the housing 211. The first mating portion mates with the second mating portion to fix the handle body 23 and the pot handle base 21.
[0035] In the cookware of this embodiment, the locking member 22 engages with the first engaging part of the handle seat 21 through the second engaging part, thereby fixing the handle body 23 and the handle seat 21. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0036] In one disclosed embodiment, the locking member 22 further includes a lug 222 located on top of the housing 221. The lug 222 includes a first plate and a second plate. The first plate is connected to the housing, and the second plate is bent at an angle relative to the first plate. The lug 222 facilitates linear movement of the locking member 22 along the handle body 23, thereby fixing the handle body 23 and the pot handle seat 21 for convenient operation.
[0037] In one disclosed embodiment, the first mating part is a groove provided on the boss part, and the second mating part is a protrusion provided on the inner wall of the housing, and the protrusion mates with the groove.
[0038] For example, during assembly, the housing of the locking member 22 is placed outside the handle body 23, and then the handle body 23 is assembled with the pot handle base 21. The rotating shaft 25 is inserted into the rotating hole 24 to form the handle structure, and then it is spot-welded or riveted to the pot body 10. When the handle body 23 is rotated counterclockwise to the same angle as the boss, the housing of the locking member 22 is pushed down into the boss, so that the protrusion and the groove cooperate, thus realizing the fixed use state of the handle structure. When not in use and stored, simply push the locking member 22 upward away from the boss, and the handle body can be rotated clockwise to be stored outside the bottom of the pot, thus realizing the folding and storage of the handle. This handle structure is simple, convenient, practical, and aesthetically pleasing.
[0039] In one disclosed embodiment, the first fixing part 214 and the second fixing part 215 are fixedly connected to the pot body 10 by welding or fasteners.
[0040] In one disclosed embodiment, the handle structure is made of steel. Related art folding handles are made of plastic, which take up considerable space when folded and are easily damaged by open flames. In contrast, the handle structure of this disclosed embodiment is made of steel, making it resistant to open flames and saving more space when folded.
[0041] The above detailed description is a specific description of the feasible embodiments of this disclosure. These embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure. All equivalent implementations or modifications that do not depart from this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
