Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a quick-release handle. Background Technology

[0002] The existing pot handle has the following defects:

[0003] I. Storage and Transportation: Large space occupation and lack of flexibility

[0004] Existing technologies fail to address the core pain point of "low space utilization efficiency" in kitchen utensil storage and transportation scenarios. Specifically, this manifests in the inherent limitations of kitchen utensils with non-detachable handles: the handles are integrated with the utensil body through welding, riveting, or screws, making them impossible to detach when not in use. Utensils with long handles, such as pots and pans, are difficult to fit into narrow cabinet spaces, and stacking them can cause instability due to handle interference. During transportation, protruding handles not only increase packaging volume but are also prone to deformation or damage from impacts, increasing logistics costs and the risk of loss.

[0005] Hidden defects of traditional detachable handles: Some designs that claim to be "detachable" require the use of tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches to remove screws and nuts, or to assemble multiple accessories such as fireproof rings and clips. The actual operation is cumbersome and time-consuming. To avoid trouble, users often choose not to disassemble, causing the "detachable design" to become a decoration and failing to truly achieve the purpose of saving space.

[0006] II. Maintenance and Lifespan: High maintenance costs and poor overall durability.

[0007] Existing technologies have significant shortcomings in terms of handle repair and replacement and extending the lifespan of kitchen utensils, which contradicts the demand for "low-cost repair and long-life use."

[0008] Non-removable handle: Repair is equivalent to scrapping: The structure in which the handle is fixedly connected to the main body means that if the handle breaks, is damaged by high temperature, or the anti-slip layer falls off, the user cannot replace the handle separately and can only discard the entire kitchenware, which greatly increases the cost of use and causes waste of resources.

[0009] Traditional detachable handles: The connection structure is prone to failure. Most traditional detachable handles use a single threaded connection, a snap-fit, or a ratchet locking block. Frequent disassembly and reassembly can easily lead to problems such as stripped threads, fatigue fracture of snap-fits, and wear of the ratchet. Some designs employ multi-component linkage mechanisms to improve stability, but this results in complex assembly, a high failure rate, and requires professional personnel for repairs. Ordinary users often find it difficult to replace them themselves, ultimately incurring high maintenance costs or requiring premature replacement of the cookware.

[0010] III. Cleaning and Hygiene: Incomplete cleaning, with unsanitary areas remaining.

[0011] Existing technologies have failed to address the need for "all-around cleaning," and the handle connection area easily becomes a dead spot for dirt and grime to accumulate.

[0012] Non-removable handles: Physical obstacles to cleaning: The connection between the fixed handle and the main body of the cookware, such as weld seams and screw gaps, is prone to accumulating oil and food residue. In addition, because the handle is obstructed, it is impossible to completely immerse the cookware in the sink for cleaning, and it is also difficult to use cleaning tools to reach into the gaps. Long-term use can easily breed bacteria and affect food hygiene. Utility Model Content

[0013] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a quick-release handle.

[0014] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0015] A quick-release handle includes a metal connector, a top cover, a button, a base plate, a first fixing post, a gear, a connector, a bottom cover, and a spring. The metal connector is used to connect to a pot body. The base plate has an opening, and the connector is mounted on the opening. The connector has a sliding opening at its center. The upper end of the first fixing post is fixedly connected to the top cover, and the lower end of the first fixing post passes through the sliding opening and is fixedly connected to the bottom cover. One side of the button has a rack that meshes with the gear. The other side of the button has a first inclined surface, and the connector has a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface is in close contact with the second inclined surface. The gear is mounted on the connector. The bottom of the connector has a protruding end. The bottom cover has a slot, and the protruding end is inserted into one end of the slot. The spring is placed between the protruding end and the other end of the slot. The button is mounted on the base plate. The connector has a locking hook, and the base plate has a latch. Both the locking hook and the latch are detachably connected to the metal connector.

[0016] Preferably, the system also includes a second fixing post, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the top cover, and the bottom end of which passes through the bottom plate and is fixedly connected to the bottom cover.

[0017] Preferably, the second fixing column is located on both sides of the base plate.

[0018] Preferably, the buttons are located on both sides of the base plate.

[0019] Preferably, the sliding joint and the first fixed post are in a sliding fit.

[0020] Preferably, the connector is cross-shaped.

[0021] Preferably, the metal connector is provided with a first bayonet and a second bayonet, the first bayonet and the second bayonet are connected, the first bayonet cooperates with the hook, and the second bayonet cooperates with the locking hook.

[0022] Preferably, the top cover has mounting openings on both sides, and the button has a pressing part that is installed at the mounting opening and protrudes outward.

[0023] Preferably, the locking hook and protruding end are located on both sides of the connector.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0025] I. Core Design: Efficient assembly and disassembly achieved through a combination of locking hooks and snap hooks for positioning, plus a button for locking.

[0026] Unlike traditional threaded fixing and snap-locking connection structures, this patent adopts a quick-installation design of "locking hook and snap-lock positioning + button locking", which creates a more efficient disassembly and assembly logic.

[0027] Precise positioning: By combining locking hooks and latches, the handle and pot body can be quickly aligned without repeated adjustments, solving the problem of "difficult alignment and easy misalignment" in traditional connections.

[0028] Easy locking: Locking or unlocking can be completed simply by pressing the button, without the need for any tools. Compared with threaded fixings that require "tightening multiple screws" and snap-fit ​​structures that are "easy to get stuck and difficult to operate", this greatly reduces the difficulty of operation and improves installation efficiency.

[0029] II. Scenario Value: Covering three core needs: storage, repair, and cleaning

[0030] Based on its core design for efficient assembly and disassembly, this patent further addresses the pain points of traditional handles in key scenarios of daily use of kitchen utensils, creating clear scenario value.

[0031] Storage and transportation scenarios: The handle can be quickly separated from the main body of the kitchenware, and the volume of the kitchenware is greatly reduced after disassembly. It can not only fit into the narrow cabinets of small apartments and reduce space occupation, but also be packaged separately during transportation, avoiding the problems of "protruding and easily collided, large packaging volume" of traditional fixed handles, thus reducing logistics losses and costs.

[0032] Repair and lifespan scenarios: When the handle is damaged, users do not need to rely on professionals. They can replace the handle themselves by pressing the button without having to discard the intact main body of the cookware. Compared with the traditional situation of "replacing everything when it breaks" due to non-removable handles, this significantly reduces repair costs and extends the overall lifespan of the cookware.

[0033] Cleaning and hygiene scenarios: After the handle is removed, the main body of the cookware is unobstructed and has no connecting gaps, allowing it to be fully immersed in the sink for cleaning, or cleaning tools can be used to reach areas that are difficult to reach with traditional handles, such as the edges and bottom of the cookware, avoiding the accumulation of oil and food residue, and fundamentally solving the hygiene hazards of "incomplete cleaning and easy growth of bacteria".

[0034] III. Safety Guarantee: Side button design mitigates accidental risks.

[0035] While achieving high efficiency and practicality, this patent further enhances safety through optimization of button placement.

[0036] The button is located on the side of the handle, rather than on the top or front as is common in traditional quick-release handles. During daily cooking, the natural posture of holding and moving the cookware will not touch the side button, effectively preventing accidental unlocking of the handle or tipping of the cookware due to accidental pressing, and structurally reducing the safety risks such as burns.

[0037] Combining the precise alignment of the "locking hook and latch positioning" with the stable connection of the "button locking", the overall structural stability is better than the problems of traditional single buckles being "easy to loosen" and threads being "easy to strip after long-term use". The handle does not wobble during cooking, further improving the safety of use. Attached Figure Description

[0043] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0044] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a quick-release handle includes a metal connector 4, an upper cover 1, a button 2, a base plate 3, a first fixing post 5, a gear 7, a connector 8, a bottom cover 9, and a spring 10. The metal connector 4 is used to connect with the pot body. The base plate 3 has an opening 32, and the connector 8 is mounted on the opening 32. The connector 8 has a sliding groove 82 at its center. The upper end of the first fixing post 5 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 1, and the lower end of the first fixing post 5 passes through the sliding groove 82 and is fixedly connected to the bottom cover 9. A rack 23 is provided on one side of the button 2, and the rack 23 meshes with the gear 7. The button 2 has a first inclined surface 22 on the other side, and the connector 8 has a second inclined surface 83. The first inclined surface 22 is in close contact with the second inclined surface 83. The gear 7 is mounted on the connector 8. The bottom of the connector 8 has a protruding end 84. The bottom cover 9 has a slot. The protruding end 84 is inserted into one end of the slot. The spring 10 is placed between the protruding end 84 and the other end of the slot. The button 2 is mounted on the base plate 3. The connector 8 has a locking hook 81, and the base plate 3 has a hook 31. The locking hook 81 and the hook 31 are detachably connected to the metal connector 4.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a second fixing post 6, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the upper cover 1, and the bottom end of which passes through the base plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the bottom cover 9. The second fixing post 6 is located on both sides of the base plate 3. The button 2 is located on both sides of the base plate 3. The sliding groove 82 is in sliding engagement with the first fixing post 5. The connector 8 is cross-shaped.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the metal connector 4 is provided with a first bayonet 41 and a second bayonet 42. The first bayonet 41 and the second bayonet 42 are connected. The first bayonet 41 cooperates with the hook 31, and the second bayonet 42 cooperates with the locking hook 81.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper cover 1 has mounting openings 11 on both sides, and the button 2 has a pressing part 21, which is installed at the mounting opening 11 and protrudes outward.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the locking hook 81 and the protruding end 84 are located on both sides of the connector 8.

[0049] The working principle is as follows:

[0050] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, when the handle of this utility model needs to be installed into the metal connector 4, first insert the locking hook 81 into the second bayonet 42 and the locking hook 31 into the first bayonet 41. Then press the pressing part 21 of the button, and the rack 23 starts to rotate. Since the rack 23 meshes with the gear 7, the gear 7 also rotates synchronously. Since the rack 23 of the buttons on both sides meshes with the gear 7, the two buttons are synchronized. If one button is pressed, the other button will also move in tandem. At the same time, the first inclined surface 22 receives an inward pressure. Since the first inclined surface 22 is in close contact with the second inclined surface 83, the first inclined surface 22 pushes the second inclined surface 83 to move to the left, the sliding mouth 82 slides to the left, the locking hook 81 moves to the left, and the spring 10 is compressed. When the button is released, the spring 10 will return to its original shape and generate elastic force. The elastic force of the spring 10 drives the connector 8 to move to the right. At this time, the locking hook 81 moves to the right, and the locking hook 81 will firmly lock the second latch 42, which will firmly lock the handle and the pot body. The latch 31 will also lock the first latch 41.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, when the handle needs to be disassembled, pressing the button causes the rack 23 to rotate. Since the rack 23 meshes with the gear 7, the gear 7 also rotates synchronously. Because the racks 23 of the buttons on both sides mesh with the gears 7, the two buttons are synchronized. If one button is pressed, the other button will also move in tandem. At the same time, the first inclined surface 22 receives an inward pressure. Since the first inclined surface 22 is in close contact with the second inclined surface 83, the first inclined surface 22 pushes the second inclined surface 83 to the left, the slide 82 slides to the left, the locking hook 81 moves to the left, and the spring 10 is compressed. At this time, the locking hook 81 disengages from the second latch 42, and the handle can then be pulled out from the first latch 41 and the second latch 42.

[0052] The detachable handle, through its ingenious structural design, allows for quick separation and connection between the handle and the main body of the cookware. This reduces the space occupied by the cookware when not in use, making it convenient for storage and transportation. When the handle is damaged, users can easily replace it with a new one, reducing maintenance costs and extending the overall lifespan of the cookware. During cleaning, the cookware with the handle removed is easier to clean thoroughly, ensuring its hygiene.

[0053] It should be noted that the above examples are only one specific embodiment of this utility model. Obviously, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments and can have many variations. In short, all variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art from the content disclosed in this utility model should be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
