Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen cooking utensil accessories, and in particular to a pot handle with a folding function. Background Technology

[0002] Most cookware on the market currently uses fixed handles, which are directly welded to the pot body. This takes up a lot of space during packaging and transportation, and is also inconvenient to store. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a pot handle with a folding function.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a pot handle with a folding function, including a handle base, a side handle, a button base, a control button, a limiting structure, and a spring structure; the handle base is installed on the pot body, and the button base is fixed to the handle base by screws; the control button and the spring structure are installed inside the button base, with the upper end of the spring structure abutting the control button and the lower end of the spring structure abutting the button base; both ends of the side handle are provided with connecting posts, the outer end of the limiting structure is installed inside the connecting posts, and the inner end of the limiting structure is connected to the control button and rotates with its rise and fall; the side handle folds with the rotation of the limiting structure and is parallel to the side wall of the pot body, or the side handle is locked onto the button base and is perpendicular to the side wall of the pot body with the rotation of the limiting structure.

[0005] The side ear rotates around the limiting structure to achieve the folding function, saving storage and transportation space. The side ear is fixed by locking it with the button seat, making it easy to lift the side ear. The control button is set to link with the limiting structure to make the side ear fold or fix it.

[0006] The limiting structure includes a first spring and a pivot pin. The pivot pin is an outwardly open cylindrical structure with notches on both the upper and lower sides of its inner end, forming a first locking element between the two notches. A guide structure is provided on the lower side of the pivot pin. Elongated slots are provided on both sides of the control button, with the lower side of the slots penetrating the lower side of the control button. The two sides of the opening on the lower side of the elongated slots protrude inward to form a pair of second locking elements. A first mounting hole and a first guide groove communicating with it are provided on the inner side of the connecting post. The outer end of the pivot pin passes through the first mounting hole. The first spring is sleeved inside the cylindrical structure of the pivot pin, with its outer end abutting against the inner wall of the first mounting hole and its inner end abutting against the inner wall of the cylindrical structure of the pivot pin. The inner end of the pivot pin is inserted into the elongated groove and can rotate and slide within it. The guide structure is embedded in the first guide groove and can slide along it. In the folded state, the control button is not pressed, and the lower side of the inner end of the pivot pin is embedded in the slot between the two second clips. The side ear is parallel to the side wall of the pot. In the process of opening from the folded state, pressing the control button causes the elongated groove to slide along the inner end of the pivot pin. Holding the side ear and rotating it outward causes the side ear to rotate the inner end of the pivot pin along the elongated groove until the side ear is perpendicular to the side wall of the pot. Releasing the control button causes the first clip to engage in the slot between the two second clips. The cooperation between the first mounting hole and the first guide groove allows the pivot pin to slide and causes the side ear to rotate, thus enabling the limiting structure to rotate. The inner end of the pivot pin can rotate and slide within the elongated groove. The cooperation of the first clip, the notch, the second clip, and the elongated groove allows the pivot pin to rotate and be locked, thereby enabling the side ear to rotate and be locked.

[0007] The guide structure is a rectangular body, and the guide groove is a rectangular groove.

[0008] The button base has a U-shaped structure with a horizontally arranged U-shaped groove. The button base includes a mounting base, a horizontal groove, and a second mounting hole. The mounting base is located at the center of the button base, and the U-shaped groove passes through the opposite side of the mounting base. The horizontal groove is formed on the upper side of the button base and passes through the upper side of the mounting base. A pair of second mounting holes are located on both sides of the mounting base and are longitudinally distributed, connecting the horizontal groove and the U-shaped groove. Positioning cylinders are provided on both sides of the control button, and the elastic structure is sleeved within the positioning cylinders, with its lower end abutting against the bottom surface of the second mounting hole. The control button is inserted into the second mounting hole on both sides and can slide up and down along it. The top of the control button moves up and down with the control button, disengaging from or embedding into the horizontal groove.

[0009] The elastic structure includes a second spring; a positioning platform is provided on the bottom surface of the second mounting hole, the lower end of the second spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the positioning platform, and the upper end of the second spring is sleeved inside the positioning cylinder; the height of the bottom surface of the second mounting hole is lower than the height of the lower side surface of the U-shaped groove. The positioning platform can fix the bottom of the second spring.

[0010] The mounting base has slots on both sides, and the positioning cylinder has a buckle on its inner side. The buckle engages with the slot and can slide up and down along it. The buckle secures the control button to the mounting base, preventing the control button from falling off.

[0011] The button base has a through hole on its outer side, and a bead is installed in the through hole. The diameter of the outer opening of the through hole is smaller than the diameter of the bead. The outer side of the control button has a first semi-circular groove and a second guide groove. Both the first semi-circular groove and the second guide groove are recessed from the outer side of the control button inward. The upper section of the second guide groove is connected to the first semi-circular groove, and the depth of the second guide groove gradually decreases from top to bottom. A second semi-circular groove is formed on the side of the ear between the two connecting posts. When the ear is in the folded state, the inner side of the bead is located in the second guide groove. When the ear is opened from the folded state, pressing the control button causes the inner side of the bead to gradually slide from the second guide groove into the first semi-circular groove. Lifting the ear outward and rotating it upward, the outer side of the bead slides into the second semi-circular groove. Releasing the control button opens the ear, and the inner side of the bead slides from the first semi-circular groove into the second guide groove, with the outer side of the bead pressing against the second semi-circular groove. The engagement of the ball with the second semi-circular groove allows the side ear to be locked in place, ensuring it is horizontal. The engagement of the second guide groove with the first semi-circular groove together forms the track for the ball to roll inside.

[0012] The latch is located between the lower and middle parts of the inner side of the positioning cylinder. The inner side of the latch is an inclined surface that gradually slopes upward towards the center of the control button. There is a height difference between the inner side of the top surface of the latch and the inner side of the positioning cylinder. The inclined surface of the latch facilitates the control button's engagement with the button base; the height difference between the top surface of the latch and the inner side of the positioning cylinder prevents the latch from disengaging and causing the control button to fall off.

[0013] When the side ear is perpendicular to the side wall of the pot, its lower side is provided with several raised ribs, which helps to grip the side ear and has anti-slip properties.

[0014] When the side ear is perpendicular to the side wall of the pot, a ring groove is provided on its upper side.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the pot handle has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has a folding function; the side handle rotates downward around the button seat to achieve folding, saving storage space; the side handle rotates upward around the button seat to form a stable structure, making it easy to lift the pot; the ball is inserted into the second semi-circular groove, so that the side handle cannot continue to rotate, thus achieving stable fixation of the side handle.

[0046] The side ear 2 rotates around the limiting structure to achieve the folding function, saving storage and transportation space. The side ear 2 is fixed by locking it with the button seat 3, making it easy to lift the side ear 2. The control button 4 is set to link the limiting structure to make the side ear 2 fold or fix it.

[0047] The limiting structure includes a first spring 6 and a pivot pin 5. The pivot pin 5 is an outwardly open cylindrical structure with notches on both the upper and lower sides of its inner end, forming a first locking member 51 between the two notches.

The inner wall of the cylindrical structure 5; the inner end of the pivot pin 5 is inserted into the elongated groove 41 and can rotate and slide within the elongated groove 41; the guide structure 52 is embedded in the first guide groove 22 and can slide along it; in the folded state, the control button 4 is in the unpressed state, the lower side of the inner end of the pivot pin 5 is embedded in the groove between the two second clips 42, and the side ear 2 is parallel to the side wall of the pot body; in the process of changing from the folded state to the open state, press the control button 4, the elongated groove 41 slides along the inner end of the pivot pin 5, hold the side ear 2 and rotate it outward, the side ear 2 drives the inner end of the pivot pin 5 to rotate along the elongated groove 41 until the side ear 2 is perpendicular to the side wall of the pot body, release the control button 4, and the first clip 51 is engaged in the groove between the two second clips 42. The cooperation between the first mounting hole 21 and the first guide groove 22 allows the pivot pin 5 to slide and causes the side ear 2 to drive the limiting structure to rotate. The inner end of the pivot pin 5 can rotate and slide within the elongated groove 41; the cooperation of the first locking piece 51, the notch, the second locking piece 42, and the elongated groove 41 can enable the pivot pin 5 to rotate and be locked, thereby enabling the side ear 2 to rotate and be locked.

[0048] The guide structure 52 is a rectangular body, and the guide groove is a rectangular groove.

[0049] The button base 3 has a U-shaped structure with a transversely arranged U-shaped groove 31. The button base 3 is provided with a mounting base 32, a transverse groove 33, and a second mounting hole 34. The mounting base 32 is located in the center of the button base 3, and the U-shaped groove 31 passes through the opposite side of the mounting base 32. The transverse groove 33 is opened on the upper side of the button base 3 and passes through the upper side of the mounting base 32. There is a pair of second mounting holes 34, located on both sides of the mounting base 32 and distributed longitudinally. The second mounting holes 34 connect the transverse groove 33 and the U-shaped groove 31. The control button 4 is provided with positioning cylinders 43 on both sides. The elastic structure is sleeved in the positioning cylinders 43, and its lower end abuts against the bottom surface of the second mounting hole 34. The control button 4 is inserted into the second mounting hole 34 on both sides and can slide up and down along it. The top of the control button 4 is disengaged from or embedded in the transverse groove 33 as the control button 4 rises and falls.

[0050] The elastic structure includes a second spring 7; a positioning platform 35 is provided on the bottom surface of the second mounting hole 34, the lower end of the second spring 7 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the positioning platform 35, and the upper end of the second spring 7 is sleeved inside the positioning cylinder 43; the height of the bottom surface of the second mounting hole 34 is lower than the height of the lower side surface of the U-shaped groove 31. The positioning platform 35 can fix the bottom of the second spring 7.

[0051] The mounting base 32 has slots 37 on both sides, and the positioning cylinder 43 has a buckle 46 on its inner side. The buckle 46 is inserted into the slot 37 and can slide up and down along it.

The inclined surface of the latch 46 facilitates the insertion of the control button 4 into the button seat 3; the height difference between the top surface of the latch 46 and the inner side of the positioning cylinder 43 prevents the latch 46 from disengaging and causing the control button 4 to fall off.

[0054] When the side ear 2 is perpendicular to the side wall of the pot, there are several raised ribs 23 on its lower side, which helps to grip the side ear 2 and has anti-slip properties.

[0055] When the side ear 2 is perpendicular to the side wall of the pot, a ring groove 24 is provided on its upper side.

[0056] Assembly in this embodiment:

[0057] 1) Insert the ball 8 from front to back into the through hole 36 of the button base 3;

[0058] 2) Insert the second spring 7 from top to bottom onto the positioning platform 35 set on the button base 3;

[0059] 3) Insert the control button 4 from top to bottom onto the button base 3, and let the second spring 7 pass into the round hole of the positioning cylinder 43 set in the control button 4, while the buckles 46 set on both sides of the middle of the control button 4 are locked onto the slots 37 set in the button base 3.

[0060] 4) Insert the first spring 6 into the cylindrical structure holes set in the left and right pivot pins 5 respectively, and then insert the left and right pivot pins 5 into the holes (elongated grooves 41) set on both sides of the side ear 2 respectively, and make the cylindrical structure set on the left and right pivot pins 5 first insert into the first mounting hole 21, while making the first clip 51 set on the pivot pin 5 point to the opposite side of the side ear 2.

[0061] 5) Press down the installed control button 4, then push the left and right rotating pins 5 on the side ears 2 into the first mounting hole 21. The first spring 6 retracts. Then place the button seat 3 from back to front in the center of the side ears 2, so that the left and right rotating pins 5 are concentric with the upper semicircle of the elongated groove 41 set on both sides of the control button 4. Then release the left and right rotating pins 5. The left and right rotating pins 5 are pushed outward under the action of the first spring 6, so that the front end (inner end) of the left and right rotating pins 5 can be locked on the elongated groove 41 set on both sides of the control button 4.

[0062] 6) Spot weld the ear seat 1 to the pot body, then use screw 9 to pass through the through hole 36 set in the button seat 3 from back to front, and finally lock it in the threaded hole set in the ear seat 1 to complete the assembly of the side ear 2.

[0063] The principle of this embodiment:

[0064] 1) Folded state -- during opening

[0065] Pressing the control button 4 makes the pivot pin 5 concentric with the upper semicircle of the elongated groove 41 set on both sides of the control button 4, so that the pivot pin 5 can rotate smoothly. At the same time, the side ear 2 is rotated counterclockwise. As the side ear 2 rotates, it will drive the pivot pin 5 on the left and right sides to rotate synchronously. When the side ear 2 rotates counterclockwise to about 60 degrees, the inner side of the ear seat 1 will contact the ball 8. Continuing to rotate the side ear 2 will push the ball 8 into the round hole. Since the control button 4 is pressed, the first semicircular groove 44 set on the back of the control button 4 is just aligned with the center of the through hole 36 where the ball 8 is located, so that the ball 8 has room to be pushed inward.

[0066] 2) During opening -- Open status

[0067] Continue rotating the side ear 2 until it rotates counterclockwise to 90 degrees. The side ear 2 pushes the pivot pin 5 inward. At this time, the pivot pin 5 also rotates 90 degrees simultaneously. The first locking piece 51 of the pivot pin 5 is aligned with the slot 37 (the groove between the two second locking pieces 42) below the control button 4. Release the control button 4. The control button 4 rebounds under the force of the second spring 7, so that the first locking piece 51 of the pivot pin 5 is just locked into the slot 37 (the groove between the two second locking pieces 42) of the control button 4, locking the pivot pin 5 so that it cannot rotate. At the same time, the control button 4 rises so that the first semi-circular groove 44 on the back of the control button 4 is no longer concentric with the through hole 36 where the ball 8 is located, and pushes the ball 8 outward so that the ball 8 is locked into the second semi-circular groove 25 on the inner side of the side ear 2, so that the side ear 2 can no longer rotate, realizing the secondary fixation of the ear seat 1, thus making the ear seat 1 more stable.

[0068] 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.
