[0040] Example

[0041] See Figures 1 to 22 This is a folding pot handle, comprising a lower side handle 1, an upper side handle 2, and a pressure plate 3. The lower part of the lower side handle 1 is mounted on the pot body, and the upper part of the lower side handle 1 is provided with a limiting structure. The upper side handle 2 is a U-shaped handle with connecting posts 21 at both ends, forming a groove 22 between the U-shaped structures. The free end of the connecting post 21 is hinged to the limiting structure and can rotate around it. One end of the pressure plate 3 is hinged to the root of the connecting post 21 by a pin 4. The pressure plate 3 rotates around the pin 4 and is located in the groove 22, or the pressure plate 3 rotates around the pin 4 and the free end of the pressure plate 3 is folded over and pressed against the upper side of the pot lid. The upper side handle 2 rotates around the limiting structure and folds onto the lower side handle 1 and is parallel to the side wall of the pot body, or the upper side handle 2 rotates around the limiting structure and is clamped onto the lower side handle 1 and is perpendicular to the side wall of the pot body.

[0042] The upper side ear 2 rotates around the limiting structure to achieve a folding function, saving storage and transportation space. Alternatively, the upper side ear 2 can be clamped to the lower side ear 1 to achieve fixation and facilitate lifting of the pot ear. The pressure plate 3 is designed so that during operation, the hand can hold the pot ear while the thumb presses the open pressure plate 3, so that the pressure plate 3 can press down on the pot lid, thereby realizing the water pouring action and preventing the pot lid from falling off. When the pressure plate 3 is located in the slot 22, the pressure plate 3 can be stored.

[0043] The limiting structure includes a spring 5 and a pair of limiting pins 6. The outer end of the limiting pin 6 is provided with a first limiting tooth 61. A circular blind hole 23 is opened on the side wall of the connecting column 21, and a second limiting tooth 24 is provided at the end of the circular blind hole 23. A through hole 11 is opened on the upper part of the side ear lower piece 1. The spring 5 passes through the through hole 11. The inner end of the limiting pin 6 abuts against the spring 5, and the outer end of the limiting pin 6 passes into the circular blind hole 23. The first limiting tooth 61 and the second limiting tooth 24 mesh with each other and can rotate. The cooperation of the first limiting tooth 61 and the second limiting tooth 24 allows the rotation between the side ear upper piece 2 and the side ear lower piece 1 to achieve a vibrational rotation according to the meshing of the limiting teeth, and the angle can be switched and fixed according to the specifications of the teeth.

[0044] The lower side of the limiting pin 6 is provided with a guide structure 62 connected thereto. The lower side of the through hole 11 is recessed downward to form a guide groove 12 communicating with it. The guide structure 62 is embedded in the guide groove 12 and can slide along it. The cooperation between the guide structure 62 and the guide groove 12 enables directional guidance between the limiting pin 6 and the spring 5.

[0045] The connecting column 21 has a pair of first mounting holes 25, and the front end of the pressure plate 3 has a second mounting hole 31 that passes through both sides of it. The pin 4 passes through the second mounting hole 31, and both ends of the pin 4 pass through the first mounting holes 25.

[0046] The lower part of the groove 22 of the side ear upper part 2 protrudes inward to form a stage 26. The pressure plate 3 rotates around the pin 4 to approach and rest on the stage 26, or the pressure plate 3 rotates around the pin 4 to move away from the stage 26.

[0047] The upper side of the pressure plate 3 is provided with a first anti-slip structure 32.

[0048] The first anti-slip structure 32 is formed by several raised ribs distributed in parallel, with long grooves formed between adjacent raised ribs.

[0049] The raised rib is perpendicular to pin 4.

[0050] The lower side of the free end of the pressure plate 3 is provided with a second anti-slip structure 33; the second anti-slip structure 33 includes two parallel arc-shaped protrusions.

[0051] The guide structure 62 is a rectangular body, and the guide groove 12 is a rectangular groove.

[0052] Installation in this embodiment:

[0053] 1) Place the spring 5 in the through hole 11 set at the upper end of the lower side ear 1, and then insert the limiting pin 6 symmetrically on both sides of the through hole 11 set at the upper end of the lower side ear 1 in the set direction, and press the spring 5 tightly; so that the limiting pin 6 is completely pressed into the through hole 11 of the lower side ear 1, and then place the lower side ear 1 at the front end of the upper side ear 2, and make the through hole 11 set at the upper end of the lower side ear 1 concentric with the round blind hole 23 set at the front end of the upper side ear 2, and at the same time make the first limiting tooth 61 set at the outer end of the limiting pin 6 correctly mesh with the second limiting tooth 24 in the round blind hole 23 set at the front end of the upper side ear 2;

[0054] 2) Place the pressure plate 3 flat on the side ear upper part 2, and make the second mounting hole 31 set at the front end of the pressure plate 3 concentric with the first mounting hole 25 set at the front end of the side ear upper part 2. Then, use the pin 4 to pass through the concentric hole from left to right to connect the pressure plate 3 and the side ear upper part 2 together to complete the assembly.

[0055] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0056] 1) Pressure plate 3 open state: In this state, the pot handle is open. The opening of pressure plate 3 allows the hand to hold the pot handle while pressing the open pressure plate 3 with the thumb, so that pressure plate 3 can press down the pot lid that it is used with, thereby performing actions such as pouring water, realizing the daily function of tilting the pot.

[0057] 2) Pot ear open state: Due to the elastic force of spring 5, spring 5 pushes the limit pins 6 on both sides outward, and the first limit tooth 61 set at the outer end of the limit pin 6 is correctly engaged with the second limit tooth 24 set at the upper part of the side ear 2 without disengaging, so that the upper part of the side ear 2 can maintain a 90-degree perpendicular state to the lower part of the side ear 1 without rotation or displacement.

[0058] 3) Folded state of the pot handle: When the pot handle is in the open state, when you hold the upper part of the side handle 2 and apply a downward rotational torque to the upper part of the side handle 2, if the torque applied to the rotation of the upper part of the side handle 2 is greater than the elastic force applied by the spring 5 to the limiting pin 6, the upper part of the side handle 2 will rotate. At this time, the upper part of the side handle 2 will press the limiting pin 6 to move towards the central axis of the upper part of the side handle 2. The first limiting tooth 61 set by the limiting pin 6 will move relative to the second limiting tooth 24 set by the upper part of the side handle 2, and simultaneously compress the spring 5. When the upper part of the side handle 2 rotates to the folded state, no more rotational torque is applied to the upper part of the side handle 2. At this time, the first limiting tooth 61 set by the limiting pin 6 and the second limiting tooth 24 set by the upper part of the side handle 2 are in the correct meshing state. At this time, the spring 5 pushes the limiting pin 6 out axially due to its own rebound force, so that the upper part of the side handle 2 cannot shake.

[0059] The above detailed description is a specific description of a feasible embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent implementations or modifications that do not depart from the present utility model should be included in the patent scope of this case.
