[0025] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in general dictionaries should be understood to have the same meaning as in the context of the prior art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless specifically defined as herein.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1-4 A handle assembly 100 includes: a handle 10 having a cylindrical body 14 and a handle 12 disposed transversely to the cylindrical body 14; and a decorative cover 30 rotatably disposed on the handle 12; a storage space for storing a key 40 is formed between the handle 12 and the decorative cover 30.

[0027] Here, the handle 10 can be made of any suitable material, such as a lightweight alloy material, to provide sufficient strength and ensure the wear resistance and service life of the handle 10 when the user rotates the handle 10 frequently.

[0028] The cylinder 14 is typically installed on the door. Components such as a lock cylinder can be installed inside the cylinder 14 to cooperate with the lock for unlocking. The cylinder 14 can have any suitable structure, such as a hollow cylindrical structure.

[0029] This utility model does not limit this aspect.

[0030] The handle 12 is used by the user to grip and rotate, thereby achieving the unlocking function. The handle 12 is preferably integrally formed with the cylinder 14. In other embodiments, the two can also be fixed together by a suitable connection method, such as welding or threaded connection; this invention does not limit this method.

[0031] In the structure shown in the above embodiment, a replaceable decorative cover is rotatably mounted on the handle, forming a storage space between the decorative cover and the handle. The key can be placed inside the storage space. If the user forgets to bring the key when going out, the user can take out the key stored in the storage space to unlock the door, which brings great convenience to the user.

[0032] In addition, the decorative cover and the handle are detachably connected, so the decorative cover and the handle are separate structures. The decorative cover can be made of a variety of materials and the surface patterns can be designed arbitrarily, making it more flexible in matching.

[0033] Furthermore, the handle can be made of alloy material, which not only ensures the strength of the entire handle assembly but also increases the product's aesthetics. This effectively solves the problem that die casting cannot produce hollow structures, resulting in excessively heavy handles, material waste, and high manufacturing costs.

[0034] In one embodiment, to ensure a tight fit between the handle 12 and the decorative cover 30 when the cover 30 is not opened, thus maintaining a good overall aesthetic appearance and preventing the key 40 from falling off the cover 30, a locking hole 122 can be provided on the handle 12. The decorative cover 30 has a cover body 32, on which a locking post 324 is formed facing downwards corresponding to the locking hole 122. The locking post 324 elastically engages with the locking hole 122, thereby elastically fixing the decorative cover 30 to the handle 12 of the handle 10. In other words, the fastening effect is achieved through the interlocking of the locking post 324 and the locking hole 122.

[0035] Preferably, in order to ensure that the key 40 will not easily fall off the decorative cover 30, a retaining hole 42 can be provided on the key 40; a retaining post 326 is provided on the cover 32 at a corresponding position facing downward; the retaining post 326 is elastically inserted into the retaining hole 42, thereby securing the key 40 in the cover 32 and storing it in the storage space between the handle 12 and the cover 32.

[0036] To achieve a rotatable connection between the decorative cover 30 and the handle 10, an intermediate component can be used. In one embodiment, a base 20 is fixed inside the cylinder 14, and the decorative cover 30 is rotatably connected to the base 20. Here, the base 20 serves as the aforementioned intermediate component.

[0037] Specifically, the base 20 has a cylindrical portion 22, the top of which forms a pair of lugs 24, each lug 24 having a groove 242; the bottom of the cover 32 near the base 20 has a pair of bearing seats 322, each bearing seat 322 having a shaft hole 3222; the pair of bearing seats 322 are disposed between the pair of lugs 24, and the rotating shaft 50 passes through each groove 242 and the corresponding shaft hole 3222, thereby realizing a rotatable connection between the decorative cover 30 and the base 20. In other words, the above structure achieves a rotatable connection between the decorative cover 30 and the handle 10, and reduces the space required for rotation, thus reducing the gap between the decorative cover and the handle.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, each of the grooves 242 is inclined relative to the top plane of the cylindrical portion. This arrangement allows the decorative cover 30 to slide a certain distance from one end of the groove 242 to the other as the opening angle of the decorative cover 30 increases when it is opened relative to the handle 10, thereby further increasing the opening space between the decorative cover 30 and the handle 10, making it easier for the user to remove the key 40 from the inside of the decorative cover 30 by hand.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a torsion spring 60 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 50. One end of the torsion spring 60 elastically abuts against the top plane of the base 20, while the other end elastically abuts against the cover 32. The torsion spring 60 ensures that the decorative cover 30 always elastically abuts against the handle 10, thereby enhancing the fit between the decorative cover and the handle.

[0040] In order to facilitate the tight assembly of the base 20 into the cylinder 14, a longitudinal slot 244 can be opened on the cylindrical portion 22 of the base 20 so that the base 20 can be tightly assembled into the cylinder 14 by the elastic deformation of the cylindrical portion 22.

[0041] Similarly, a gap 3242 can be formed in the locking post 324, so that the user can smoothly insert the locking post 324 into the locking hole 122 through elastic compression deformation, thereby tightly engaging the decorative cover 30 and the handle 12.

[0042] Furthermore, a limiting flange 142 is provided on the inner side of the inner wall of the cylindrical body 14; a limiting opening 243 is provided on the inner wall of the cylindrical portion 22 of the base 20; the limiting flange 142 is engaged with the limiting opening 243, thereby inserting the base 20 into the cylindrical body 14. This engagement between the limiting flange 142 and the limiting opening 243 firmly fixes the base 20 inside the cylindrical body 14, thereby increasing the structural stability of the entire product.

Furthermore, other steps, measures, and solutions in the various operations, methods, and processes discussed in this application can also be alternated, modified, rearranged, decomposed, combined, or deleted. Furthermore, steps, measures, and solutions in the prior art that are similar to those disclosed in this application can also be alternated, modified, rearranged, decomposed, combined, or deleted.

[0044] The above description is only a partial embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
