[0029] Example

[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a rotary quick-release mechanism for a movable ear cover of a cookware, including a latch 1, a slot 2 that cooperates with the latch 1, and a rotary unlocking button 3 for driving the movement of the latch 1. The driving end of the rotary unlocking button 3 acts on the bottom of the latch 1. The latch 1 is provided with a latch elastic element 11 that provides a reset spring force. The bottom of the latch 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 12 for engaging with the slot 2. One side of the snap-fit ​​part 12 is a guide slope, and the other side is a locking slope. When the pot ear 4 is connected, the guide slope can be automatically flipped by the front end of the pot ear 4. When the locking slope is subjected to the force of the pot ear 4 being pulled out, it can lock the pot ear 4, ensuring assembly stability.

[0031] Unlocking is achieved by toggling the rotary unlock button 3 with automatic reset function, which is safer than simply pressing it. It can effectively prevent the movable ear cover 5 from falling off due to accidental operation. The structure is simple and highly reliable.

[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, a movable plate 31 constituting the drive end is provided on one side of the rotary unlock button 3.

[0033] By turning the rotary unlock button 3, the movable plate 31 is driven to pry up the end of the latch 1 away from the pivot 13, so that the latch 1 drives the snap-fit ​​part 12 out of the slot 2, and the movable ear cover 5 can be removed.

[0034] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotary unlock button 3 is provided with a button elastic element 32 on the side away from the movable plate 31, and both the latch elastic element 11 and the button elastic element 32 are springs.

[0035] A rib is provided on one side of the rotary unlock button 3 to limit the end of the button elastic element 32. The button elastic element 32 is positioned opposite to the movable plate 31 to ensure force balance. When the user releases the rotary unlock button 3, the button elastic element 32 will push the rotary unlock button 3 back to the initial position. The latch elastic element 11 is used for the automatic reset of the latch 1. The two springs perform their respective functions, making the mechanism operate more orderly and reliably.

[0036] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the pot handle 4 and the movable ear cover 5 are also included.

[0037] The pot handle 4 is fixed to the pot body, while the movable handle 5 is a detachable handle assembly. The movable handle 5 is installed on the pot handle 4 by a twist-press quick-release mechanism and can be removed when not in use, saving kitchen space. It is safe and reliable to use, and the pot can be used on a gas stove or conveniently put into the oven, making it suitable for a variety of cooking scenarios.

[0038] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the slot 2 is disposed inside the pot ear 4, and one end of the pot ear 4 is also provided with a positioning groove 41 located on one side of the slot 2.

[0039] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the interior of the movable ear cover 5 is provided with a locking mounting position 51 and a button mounting position 52.

[0040] The core components of the twist-and-release mechanism are integrated inside the movable earcup 5, resulting in a compact structure and a neat appearance.

[0041] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the latch 1 is provided with a rotating shaft 13, and the latch 1 is rotatably disposed inside the latch mounting position 51 via the rotating shaft 13. The top of the latch mounting position 51 is engaged with an upper cover plate 53 for limiting the top end of the latch elastic member 11.

[0042] One end of the latch 1 is rotatably mounted inside the latch mounting position 51 via the pivot 13. The upper cover plate 53 works with the latch 1 to limit the latch elastic element 11. The upper cover plate 53 can cover the latch mounting position 51, further improving the overall appearance of the product.

[0043] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the latch mounting position 51 is provided with a guide ramp 54 that communicates with the button mounting position 52.

[0044] The movable ear sleeve 5 has a larger opening at one end, which facilitates the initial docking of the pot ear 4. After the pot ear 4 enters the interior of the movable ear sleeve 5, it is guided by the guide ramp 54 and automatically enters the lower part of the movable plate 31. During the process, it abuts against the inclined surface of the locking part 12, causing the latch 1 to automatically flip and compress the latch elastic member 11 to avoid it. When the locking part 12 is opposite to the slot 2, the latch elastic member 11 rebounds and drives the locking part 12 to insert into the interior of the slot 2, completing the locking. At this time, pulling the movable ear sleeve 5 causes the pot ear 4 to pull the latch 1 down through the locking part 12. The latch 1 flips down and presses the movable plate 31. The movable plate 31 presses the pot ear 4 to achieve interlocking and ensure assembly stability.

[0045] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the button mounting position 52 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 55, and the top of the rotary unlock button 3 extends into the interior of the arc-shaped groove 55 and is provided with an arc-shaped cover 33.

[0046] The top of the arc-shaped lever has a protrusion near the middle, which can reduce slippage when the user moves the rotary unlock button 3. The length of the arc-shaped groove 55 matches the stroke of the arc-shaped lever, reducing unnecessary movement and limiting the rotation of the rotary unlock button 3.

[0047] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the button mounting position 52 is provided with a limiting notch 56 and a lower cover plate 57 located at the bottom of the limiting notch 56, and the bottom end of the rotary unlock button 3 is bent to form a rotating part 34 that is snapped into the limiting notch 56.

[0048] The lower cover 57 covers the button mounting position 52 to improve the product's appearance. When the rotary unlock button 3 is turned, the rotary unlock button 3 deflects around the rotating part 34 as the center. During the process, the latch 1 is pried up by the movable plate 31 to unlock the product.

[0049] When using, attach the movable ear cover 5 to the pot handle 4:

[0050] The front end of the movable ear cover 5 is aligned with the pot ear 4 and inserted. When it is inserted into the locking buckle 1, under the action of the inclined surface below the locking buckle 1, the locking buckle 1 moves upward around the pivot 13, and simultaneously compresses the locking buckle elastic element 11. When it is inserted into the slot 2 of the pot ear 4, the locking buckle 1 is driven to reset under the action of the locking buckle elastic element 11, thereby locking the movable ear cover 5 and the pot ear 4 on the pot body.

[0051] Quick removal of ear covers: Press the rotary unlock button 3 backward. The rotary unlock button 3 will cause the latch 1 to rotate upward and disengage from the slot 2 of the pot handle 4. At this time, the ear cover can be pulled out to remove it.

[0052] In summary, the movable ear cover 5 can be quickly installed and removed with a simple toggle button operation, without any tools, greatly improving ease of use. It effectively solves the problem of existing cookware handles 4 being fixed and non-removable, requiring tools for disassembly. The disassembled cookware is easier to store, saving kitchen space. At the same time, this twist-button quick-release mechanism allows the cookware to be flexibly used in various cooking scenarios such as open flame gas stoves and ovens, ensuring safety and reliability, and effectively expanding the functionality and practicality of the cookware.
