Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen cookware technology, and in particular to a heat-resistant, stand-up pot lid handle structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the daily use of kitchen cookware, the lid handle is a core component that ensures the user's safe access to and closing of the lid. Traditional lid handles can be categorized by material, such as plastic, bakelite, metal, wood, and bamboo, and by connection method, such as riveting, spot welding, screwing, gluing, and composite connections.

[0003] From a safety perspective, national standards (such as national standards, European standards, and US standards) have clear limits on the surface temperature of handles and grips. For example, the surface temperature of metal handles must be less than 55°C, plastic handles less than 70°C, and wooden handles less than 89°C. If some handles cannot meet the temperature requirements due to their structural design, the instruction manual must remind users to use heat-resistant gloves, which increases the complexity of operation.

[0004] From a cleaning and storage perspective, traditional handles have significant drawbacks: handles with fixed connections such as rivets and spot welding cannot be disassembled, and dirt easily accumulates on the contact surfaces, making them difficult to clean; handles with complex screw connections are prone to malfunction due to improper reassembly after disassembly. In addition, most traditional handles cannot be folded or stored upright, taking up a lot of space, and some metal handles have high heat conduction efficiency, easily causing the risk of accidental burns.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention presents a heat-resistant, stand-up pot lid handle structure with a unique limiting structure that allows for flexible switching between use and storage modes, thereby enhancing safety, ease of cleaning, and practicality in storage. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat-resistant, stand-up pot lid handle structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A heat-resistant, stand-up pot lid handle structure is applied to a pot lid, comprising a handle body, a first rotating connecting seat, and a second rotating connecting seat. The first rotating connecting seat and the second rotating connecting seat are respectively fixed to the pot lid, and the two ends of the handle body are rotatably connected to the first rotating connecting seat and the second rotating connecting seat, respectively. The top of the first rotating connecting seat has a first concave portion for limiting the handle body when it is upright. The side of the second rotating connecting seat has a second concave portion for limiting the handle body when it is laid flat.

[0008] Furthermore, both sides of the second rotating connecting seat are provided with a second recess.

[0009] Furthermore, the mating surfaces of the first and second recessed portions that contact the handle body are designed with rounded corners.

[0029] A heat-resistant, stand-alone pot lid handle structure is provided, applied to the pot lid 1. It includes a handle body 2, a first rotating connecting seat 3, and a second rotating connecting seat 4. The first rotating connecting seat 3 and the second rotating connecting seat 4 are respectively fixed to the pot lid 1. Both ends of the handle body 2 are rotatably connected to the first rotating connecting seat 3 and the second rotating connecting seat 4, respectively. The top of the first rotating connecting seat 3 has a first recess 31 for limiting the handle body 2 when it is upright. The side of the second rotating connecting seat 4 has a second recess 41 for limiting the handle body 2 when it is laid flat.

[0030] During assembly, the first rotating connecting seat 3 and the second rotating connecting seat 4 are symmetrically installed on the top of the lid 1 at preset positions using screws, welding, or other fixing methods, ensuring that the rotating holes of the two connecting seats are coaxial. Then, the two ends of the handle body 2 are inserted into the rotating holes of the first rotating connecting seat 3 and the second rotating connecting seat 4, respectively, so that the handle body 2 can rotate freely around the rotating holes, forming a stable assembly structure. The top of the first rotating connecting seat 3 is machined with a first concave portion 31, and the side of the second rotating connecting seat 4 is machined with a second concave portion 41. The size of the concave portion matches the diameter of the handle body 2, and the shape is adapted to the cross-section of the handle body 2 (such as arc or U-shape). The two concave portions correspond to the "upright use state" and "flat storage state" of the handle body 2, respectively.

[0031] When the user needs to use the lid 1 (e.g., to close or remove the lid 1), manually rotate the handle body 2 upwards until the end of the handle body 2 engages with the first recess 31 at the top of the first rotating connecting seat 3. At this time, the first recess 31 forms a radial limit on the handle body 2, preventing the handle body 2 from continuing to rotate downwards, thus keeping the handle body 2 upright. The user can hold the upright handle body 2 for safe operation, and in the upright state, the handle body 2 is away from the heat source below the lid 1, reducing heat transfer. When the user needs to store the lid 1 after use, manually rotate the handle body 2 downwards until the end of the handle body 2 engages with the second recess 41 on the side of the second rotating connecting seat 4. The second recess 41 forms an axial limit on the handle body 2, preventing the handle body 2 from continuing to rotate upwards, thus keeping the handle body 2 flat and in contact with the surface of the lid 1.

[0032] When cleaning and maintenance of the handle body 2 is required, simply pull both ends of the handle body 2 out of the corresponding rotating connecting seats to remove it. After removal, the handle body 2 and the two rotating connecting seats can be thoroughly cleaned to prevent oil buildup from affecting safety and lifespan. After cleaning, simply align both ends of the handle body 2 with the rotating connecting seats and insert them to complete quick assembly and restore its normal function.

[0033] This anti-scalding, stand-up pot lid 1 features a handle structure with a first recessed portion 31 and a second recessed portion 41, providing stable positioning for both states of the handle body 2. This allows for bidirectional switching between upright use and flat storage, preventing the handle from accidentally tipping over during use or tilting up during storage, thus improving operational safety. When the handle body 2 is flat, it fits snugly against the pot lid 1, reducing storage space, making it particularly suitable for small storage environments such as kitchen cabinets and drawers. When the handle body 2 is upright, it is kept away from heat sources, reducing the direct transfer of high temperatures to the handle and lowering the risk of burns to the user.

[0034] In this embodiment, the second rotating connecting seat 4 has a second recess 41 on both sides. The two second recesses 41 are identical in shape and size and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central axis of the second rotating connecting seat 4. When the user rotates the handle body 2 for flat storage, it can be engaged with the corresponding second recess 41 regardless of whether the handle body 2 rotates to the left or right of the second rotating connecting seat 4. This breaks the limitation of flat storage in one direction, supports bidirectional rotation storage of the handle body 2, adapts to the operating habits of different users, and improves the flexibility of use; it reduces the "direction correction" steps when rotating the handle body 2, reduces the difficulty of user operation, and improves the user experience; the two second recesses 41 can serve as a backup limiting structure. If the limiting effect of one recess decreases due to wear, the other side can still be used normally, extending the product's service life.

[0035] In this embodiment, the mating surfaces of the first recess 31 and the second recess 41 that contact the handle body 2 are designed with rounded corners. By processing the inner walls of the first recess 31 and the second recess 41 that contact the handle body 2 into rounded corners, right angles and sharp edges are avoided. When the handle body 2 rotates to contact the first recess 31 or the second recess 41, the rounded corner mating surfaces reduce the frictional resistance between the handle body 2 and the recess. Compared to right angles or sharp edges, the rounded corner contact area is more uniform and there are no "sticking points," allowing the handle body 2 to smoothly engage or disengage from the recess. The rounded corner structure also disperses the contact stress between the handle body 2 and the recess, reducing local wear and improving the structural durability of the connecting seat and the handle body 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the handle body 2 is made of elastic wire, such as 304 stainless steel wire. The elastic wire is lightweight yet strong, reducing the overall weight of the handle while withstanding the pulling and pressure of daily use, balancing portability and durability. The elasticity of the wire enhances the tightness of the fit between the handle body 2 and the recessed portion, improving positioning stability and preventing the handle from shifting during use or storage. For example, when the user rotates the handle body 2 to the first recessed portion 31, the elastic wire undergoes radial elastic deformation under the compression of the first recessed portion 31. The resulting rebound force keeps the handle body 2 tightly fitted to the inner wall of the first recessed portion 31, enhancing the positioning effect and preventing the handle body 2 from detaching from the recessed portion due to vibration or slight impact during use. Similarly, when the handle body 2 rotates to the second recessed portion 41, the elastic wire undergoes axial elastic deformation, and the rebound force keeps the handle body 2 locked in the second recessed portion 41, ensuring stability when laid flat. In addition, if the concave part is slightly worn after long-term use, the deformation ability of the elastic wire can compensate for the wear gap and maintain the limiting effect. When the user needs to adjust the state of the handle body 2, he only needs to apply a force slightly greater than the elastic rebound force to make the handle body 2 disengage from the concave part and rotate.

[0037] In this embodiment, the pot lid 1 is provided with a positioning part 11, which is a raised arc-shaped rib integrally formed on the surface of the pot lid 1. The positioning part 11 is positioned to correspond to the inner trajectory of the handle body 2 when it is laid flat. When the handle body 2 is laid flat on the pot lid 1, the positioning part 11 contacts the inner side of the handle body 2, forming radial support for the handle body 2, preventing the handle body 2 from sliding towards the center of the pot lid 1, and improving the stability of the handle body 2 when it is laid flat.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
