Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cookware accessories technology, specifically to a detachable cookware handle. Background Technology

[0002] Cooking utensils such as woks and saucepans are usually equipped with handles for gripping. To prevent burns, handles are often made of heat-insulating materials such as wood or plastic. Traditional cooking utensils use various methods to connect the handle to the body of the utensil, with welding, screws, or one-piece molding being the most common. However, these connection methods always have some drawbacks.

[0003] While welding can theoretically create a relatively strong connection between the handle and the cookware body, it becomes difficult to replace the handle once it is damaged, such as cracking, deformation, or material aging due to long-term use. This often requires professional welding equipment and skilled technicians, and the process is complex.

[0004] While one-piece molded cookware handles offer advantages such as good integrity and no risk of loose connections, they also have significant drawbacks. If any part of the handle is damaged, such as wear on the grip area, the entire cookware must be discarded, resulting in resource waste. Furthermore, for larger or oddly shaped cookware, one-piece molded handles occupy considerable space during transportation and storage, increasing logistics and warehousing costs.

[0005] Cookware handles connected by screws require tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches for installation and removal. This can be inconvenient in everyday use, especially when users urgently need to replace the handle or perform temporary repairs, hindering quick operations. Furthermore, cookware is frequently subjected to various complex external forces during use, such as thermal expansion and contraction from frequent heating and cooling, vibrations during cooking, and lifting and twisting during tossing. These forces can cause screws to gradually loosen, resulting in an unstable connection between the handle and the cookware body. This can affect the normal use of the cookware and also pose a safety risk due to a loose handle.

[0006] Therefore, a detachable handle solution is needed that allows for quick assembly and disassembly while also ensuring a secure and reliable connection. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this application is to provide a detachable cookware handle that overcomes the shortcomings of existing cookware handles, such as inconvenience in disassembly and assembly, unreliable connection with the cookware body, and easy loosening, so as to achieve convenient and quick installation and disassembly with the cookware body and have good stability.

[0008] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0009] A detachable cookware handle includes a first handle component, a second handle component, and a connector. One of the first handle component and the second handle component has a locking protrusion, and the other has a sliding track adapted to the locking protrusion. The connector has a through hole through which the locking protrusion passes. The first handle component and the second handle component can slide relative to each other along the sliding track after the locking protrusion passes through the through hole, so that the locking protrusion engages with the sliding track and clamps and fixes the connector between the first handle component and the second handle component.

[0010] In this technical solution, when the handle needs to be assembled, simply let the locking protrusion pass through the through hole of the connector and slide relative to each other along the sliding track to engage. This conveniently connects the first handle component, the second handle component, and the connector, while firmly clamping and fixing the connector between the two handle components. Moreover, the assembly process can be tool-free, which not only facilitates the installation and disassembly of the handle and makes maintenance and replacement easier, but also uses the friction of the sliding engagement surface and mechanical interlocking to resist separation, ensuring the stability of the entire handle structure during use. This meets the needs of cookware handles for flexible use in different usage scenarios, replacing traditional welding, screw connections, and one-piece molding solutions, and reducing the possibility of cookware being discarded due to handle problems.

[0011] The first handle component includes a main body and a locking member formed independently of the main body. The locking member has an insert portion and a mating portion. The insert portion is embedded in the main body, and the mating portion protrudes from the main body to form the locking protrusion.

[0012] In this technical solution, the first handle component combines a main body with an independently molded locking component. The embedded part is embedded within the main body, ensuring a stable connection between the locking component and the main body, preventing loosening or displacement under stress. The mating part protrudes from the main body, forming a locking protrusion. This structure allows for greater flexibility in the formation of the locking protrusion, facilitating optimized structural alignment and precise engagement with the sliding track of the second handle component. This enhances the positioning accuracy throughout the handle assembly process, thereby improving the reliability of the detachable handle structure. This ensures that the handle maintains a good fit between all components even under frequent disassembly and reassembly, as well as the stress of daily cooking operations. Furthermore, it allows for the locking component to be made of a different material than the main body; for example, if the main body is made of wood, the locking component can be made of high-strength metal, significantly improving the wear resistance and shear strength of the locking protrusion.

[0013] One end of the sliding track is an open inlet end, and the other end is a closed stop end. The mating part slides in from the inlet end and slides to the position where it abuts the stop end.

[0014] In this technical solution, the mating part can smoothly slide in from the inlet end and slide along the track until it reaches the stop end to complete the engagement. This design provides a clear and convenient operating path for handle assembly, allowing operators to easily complete the handle assembly by following this path, thus improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. Simultaneously, the presence of the stop end ensures that the mating part is fixed in position after engagement, preventing it from dislodging from the track due to external forces during use. This further enhances the robustness of the connection between the first and second handle components, ensuring the stability of the overall cookware handle structure under forces in different directions, improving user safety and comfort. Moreover, the surge in thrust generated when the stop is applied provides the operator with a notification that the two handle components have been slid into place.

[0015] The first handle component has a first locking recess and a first locking protrusion, the protrusion direction of the first locking recess is opposite to the concave direction of the first locking protrusion, and the second handle component has a second locking protrusion adapted to the first locking recess and a second locking recess adapted to the first locking protrusion.

[0016] In this technical solution, the first handle component is provided with a first locking recess and a first locking protrusion, and the second handle component is provided with a matching second locking protrusion and a second locking recess. Through this concave-convex fit structure design, when the two handle components are engaged, the concave-convex structures in multiple directions interlock and limit each other, enhancing the tightness of the connection between the first handle component and the second handle component from multiple dimensions. The concave-convex structures on one side are set in opposite directions to the concave-convex structures on the other side, which can resist the separation tendency from the vertical and horizontal directions when engaged, making the overall handle structure less prone to relative displacement or loosening under complex stress environments. This effectively improves the handle's resistance to deformation and the stability of the overall structure, ensuring that the cookware handle can reliably serve the use of the cookware for a long time and reducing safety hazards caused by problems such as loose handle structure.

[0017] The first locking recess and the first locking protrusion are respectively disposed at the first end and the second end of the first handle component, and the second locking protrusion and the second locking recess are respectively disposed at the first end and the second end of the second handle component.

[0018] In this technical solution, the first locking recess and the first locking protrusion are respectively located at the first end and the second end of the first handle component, and the corresponding second locking protrusion and the second locking recess are respectively located at the corresponding positions of the second handle component. This layout allows the concave and convex structures at both ends to function simultaneously when the two handle components are engaged, distributing the locking force to both ends of the handle and forming a stable two-point locking structure. This provides a more balanced and comprehensive limiting and connection effect, further enhancing the integrity and stability of the entire handle structure. It avoids the separation or loosening of components due to uneven local force, ensuring that the cookware handle can evenly distribute the force when bearing the weight of the cookware and various external operating forces, thus guaranteeing a tight fit between the various components of the handle.

[0019] The locking protrusion is located at the first end of the first handle component, and the first locking recess is formed on the locking protrusion.

[0020] In this technical solution, a locking protrusion is located at the first end of the first handle component, and a first locking recess is formed thereon. This allows the locking protrusion to engage not only with the sliding track but also with the second locking protrusion of the second handle component, resulting in a more compact and rational structure that enhances the correlation and synergy between the mating parts. On the one hand, it facilitates precise positioning and engagement with other corresponding structures during assembly via the first locking recess, improving the convenience and accuracy of assembly. On the other hand, during use, this integrated structural design can better withstand external forces, preventing structural damage or loosening due to excessive local stress, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the handle structure.

[0021] The second end of the first handle component is provided with a stop protrusion, and the first locking protrusion is located on the side of the stop protrusion closer to the first end; when the first handle component and the second handle component are engaged, the stop protrusion abuts against the end face of the second end of the second handle component and blocks the view of the concave-convex mating structure formed by the first locking protrusion and the second locking recess.

[0022] In this technical solution, when the stop protrusion abuts against the end face of the second end of the second handle component, it blocks the view of the convex-concave mating structure formed by the first locking protrusion and the second locking recess. This not only makes the handle more aesthetically pleasing and neat, but also provides additional limiting and protection. It can effectively prevent external factors from interfering with the convex-concave mating structure, further stabilize the connection between the two handle components, and avoid the convex-concave mating structure from loosening or failing due to accidental collisions, external pulling, etc., thereby enhancing the stability of the handle in complex usage environments.

[0023] The detachable cookware handle has a first end for connecting to the cookware body and a second end away from the cookware body, and the first handle component slides relative to the second handle component in a direction from the second end to the first end to achieve locking.

[0024] In this technical solution, the first handle component is locked relative to the second handle component by restricting its sliding along the direction from the second end to the first end. This design conforms to the force characteristics of cookware in actual use. When the user holds the handle to operate the cookware, the weight of the cookware will be transmitted to the handle along this direction. Through this sliding locking method, the various components of the handle can better utilize their own structure to distribute and resist the force when bearing the weight of the cookware and the external forces during operation. This effectively prevents the loosening or separation of components due to force, optimizes the force performance of the handle structure, ensures the stability of the handle during use, and also facilitates the disassembly of the handle in the opposite direction when needed.

[0025] The locking protrusion is provided on the first handle component, the sliding rail is provided on the second handle component, and the second handle component is also provided with a guide groove. The guide groove is located at one end of the sliding rail and communicates with the sliding rail. The depth of the guide groove is not less than the depth of the sliding rail. The guide groove is used to accommodate and guide the locking protrusion to engage or disengage with the sliding rail.

[0026] In this technical solution, a guide groove is provided on the second handle component. This groove penetrates the sliding rail and has a depth not less than the depth of the sliding rail. During assembly, the guide groove accurately accommodates and guides the locking protrusion to engage with the sliding rail, reducing assembly difficulty and allowing operators to assemble the handle more easily and accurately, thus reducing the possibility of damage to components due to improper operation. During disassembly, the guide groove also assists in the smooth separation of the locking protrusion from the sliding rail, improving the practicality of the handle's detachable function.

[0027] The first handle component and the second handle component are respectively provided with a first mating groove and a second mating groove on their opposite inner surfaces. When the first handle component and the second handle component are engaged, the first mating groove and the second mating groove together form a receiving cavity for accommodating at least a portion of the connecting member.

[0028] In this technical solution, when the first handle component and the second handle component are joined, a receiving cavity is formed to accommodate at least a portion of the connecting piece. On the one hand, this avoids gaps between the two handle components, allowing them to fit tightly together during connection. This ensures a smooth and flat grip surface, improving user comfort and preventing discomfort caused by gaps, thus optimizing the user experience. On the other hand, the receiving cavity provides a certain degree of restraint for the connecting piece, keeping it in a relatively stable position during use. This helps maintain the fit between the various handle components and prevents the connection stability from being affected by movement of the connecting piece. Furthermore, this ensures the stability of the entire cookware handle structure under the weight of the cookware and various external operating forces. Attached Figure Description

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0045] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a detachable cookware handle. For ease of explanation and understanding, the following descriptions are based on the illustrated product structure. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the above structure is merely a specific example and illustrative illustration, and does not constitute a specific limitation on the technical solution provided in this application.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the detachable cookware handle includes a first handle component 1, a second handle component 2, and a connector 3. One of the first handle component 1 and the second handle component 2 is provided with a locking protrusion, and the other is provided with a sliding track 21 adapted to the locking protrusion. The connector 3 is provided with a through hole 31 for the locking protrusion to pass through. The first handle component 1 and the second handle component 2 can slide relative to each other along the sliding track 21 after the locking protrusion passes through the through hole 31, so that the locking protrusion and the sliding track 21 are engaged with each other, and the connector 3 is clamped and fixed between the first handle component 1 and the second handle component 2.

[0047] It should be noted that this application does not impose excessive limitations on connector 3, and the structure of connector 3 in the attached drawings does not limit this application. It is a key component for connecting the handle to the cookware body, and its structure can be flexibly designed according to the type of cookware. Taking a wok as an example, for common woks, the connector can be a protruding structure integrally formed on the upper edge of the wok body. This protruding structure is made of metal and is die-cast simultaneously with the wok body. It is T-shaped overall, with a through hole at one end for the locking protrusion to pass through. For cookware such as saucepans and frying pans that require frequent handle replacement, the connector can be designed as an independent component made of metal. One end has an installation structure for connecting to the cookware body, such as two threaded holes, which are fixed to the pre-set threaded holes on the side of the wok body by screws; the other end has a through hole for the locking protrusion to pass through. During installation, the independent connector is first fixed to the cookware body with screws, and then clamped between the first handle component and the second handle component according to the handle assembly process.

[0048] One of the locking protrusion and the sliding track 21 is located on the first handle component 1, and the other is located on the second handle component 2. The accompanying drawings only show an embodiment in which the locking protrusion is located on the first handle component 1 and the sliding track 21 is located on the second handle component 2. In embodiments not shown, the positions of the locking protrusion and the sliding track 21 can be interchanged.

[0049] Figure 1 The image shows the first handle component 1, the second handle component 2, and the connector 3 in a separated state; Figure 2The diagram shows the first handle component 1, the second handle component 2, and the connector 3 in an assembled state. When the handle needs to be assembled in the separated state, simply pass the locking protrusion through the through hole 31 and slide it relative to each other along the sliding track 21 to engage. This easily connects the three components (first handle component 1, second handle component 2, and connector 3), while firmly clamping and fixing the connector 3 between the two handle components. The assembly process is tool-free, facilitating handle installation and disassembly, maintenance, and replacement. Furthermore, the friction of the sliding engagement surface and mechanical interlocking resist separation, ensuring the stability of the entire handle structure during use. This meets the flexible use requirements of cookware handles in different scenarios, replacing traditional welding, screw connections, and one-piece molding methods, and reducing the possibility of cookware being discarded due to handle-related problems.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first handle component 1 includes a main body 11 and a locking member 12 formed independently of the main body 11. The locking member 12 has an insert portion 121 and a mating portion 122. The insert portion 121 is embedded in the main body 11, and the mating portion 122 protrudes from the main body 11 to form a locking protrusion. Figure 4 The image shows the state in which the insert 121 is embedded within the body 11, ensuring the stability of the connection between the locking member 12 and the body 11, making it less prone to loosening or displacement under stress. In a preferred embodiment, to further enhance the stability of the insert 121 after it is embedded in the body 11, an anchoring structure can be provided in the insert 121. The cross-section of this anchoring structure is trapezoidal or dovetail-shaped, such as... Figure 3As shown, an embodiment with a dovetail-shaped groove 1211 as the anchoring structure is illustrated. When combined with the main body 11, it forms a barb-like effect. When an external force is applied to pull the locking member 12 out of the main body 11 of the first handle component 1, the inclined surface of the dovetail-shaped groove 1211 exerts a mutual squeezing force on the portion of the main body 11 into which it is embedded. This force has a component perpendicular to the pulling direction, effectively resisting the pulling force and allowing the locking member 12 to be firmly fixed within the main body 11. Furthermore, the anchoring structure of the dovetail-shaped groove 1211, due to its inclined walls on both sides, can decompose the force when subjected to lateral force and disperse and offset these forces through squeezing and friction with the mating part 122, keeping the locking member 12 in a stable position within the main body 11 and preventing lateral displacement. The mating part 122 protrudes from the main body 11 to form a locking protrusion. This structure makes the formation of the locking protrusion more flexible, facilitating structural optimization and precise docking and tight fit with the sliding track 21 of the second handle component 2. This enhances the positioning accuracy during the entire handle assembly process, thereby improving the reliability of the handle's detachable structure. It ensures that the handle maintains a good fit between the components even under frequent disassembly and assembly, as well as the stress of daily cooking operations. In addition, it is convenient to use a different material for the locking part 12 than for the main body 11. For example, the locking part 12 can be heat-treated and made of high-strength metal, which significantly improves the wear resistance and shear strength of the locking protrusion, while the main body 11 can still use lightweight, heat-insulating, and low-cost wood, balancing durability and economy.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, one end of the sliding track 21 is an open inlet end 211, and the other end is a closed stop end 212. The mating part 122 slides in from the inlet end 211 and slides to the position where it abuts the stop end 212. This design provides a clear and convenient operating path for the assembly of the handle. The operator can follow this path and simply push gently along the track direction to make the mating part 122 gradually slide to the position where it abuts the stop end 212, achieving accurate positioning and a stable engagement, improving the efficiency and accuracy of assembly. Moreover, the surge in thrust generated when the stop is reached provides the operator with a prompt that the two handle parts have been slid into place. At the same time, when the mating part 122 slides to the stop end 212 and abuts, the stop end 212 can effectively restrict the mating part 122 from continuing to slide, preventing the mating part 122 from disengaging from the sliding track 21 due to external forces during the use of the cookware, thereby ensuring the firm connection between the first handle part 1 and the second handle part 2. For example, when the cookware is subjected to external forces such as gravity and the impact force generated by tossing the pot for a long time, the stop end 212 can continuously play a blocking role, maintain the stability of the handle structure, and avoid the situation where the cookware is affected by loose parts, thus further improving the reliability of the handle.

[0052] In other alternative embodiments, this application may also adopt a structure in which the locking member and the main body of the first handle component are integrally formed. For example, the main body of the first handle component is made by injection molding, and the locking protrusion and the main body are made of the same material and are integrally formed in one piece.

[0053] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first handle component 1 has a first locking recess 1221 and a first locking protrusion 111. The protruding direction of the first locking recess 1221 is opposite to the recessing direction of the first locking protrusion 111. The second handle component 2 has a second locking protrusion 22 that matches the first locking recess 1221 and a second locking recess 23 that matches the first locking protrusion 111. Through this concave-convex fit structure design, when the two handle components are engaged, the concave-convex structures in multiple directions interlock and limit each other, enhancing the tightness of the connection between the first handle component 1 and the second handle component 2 from multiple dimensions. The concave-convex structures on one side are set in opposite directions to the concave-convex structures on the other side, which can resist the separation tendency from the vertical and horizontal directions when engaged, making the overall handle structure less prone to relative displacement or loosening under complex stress environments.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the figure, the first locking recess 1221 and the second locking protrusion 22 can be formed into a dovetail-shaped convex-concave fit structure, and the first locking protrusion 111 and the second locking recess 23 can also form a dovetail-shaped convex-concave fit structure. The trapezoidal bevel of the dovetail fit structure has natural anti-disengagement properties. When the first handle component 1 slides along the sliding track 21 to the locking position, the dovetail-shaped first locking recess 1221 and the second locking protrusion 22 will form a wedge-like engagement, and the dovetail-shaped first locking protrusion 111 and the second locking recess 23 will also form a wedge-like engagement. Compared with a normal rectangular convex-concave structure, it can provide greater anti-separation force in the direction perpendicular to the length of the handle. For example, the radial impact force generated when tossing the wok during stir-frying will be converted into a positive pressure of mutual compression by the dovetail bevel, preventing lateral displacement of the handle component.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first locking recess 1221 and the first locking protrusion 111 are respectively located at the first end and the second end of the first handle component 1, and the second locking protrusion 22 and the second locking recess 23 are respectively located at the first end and the second end of the second handle component 2. This layout avoids the defect that the two concave-convex mating structures are concentrated at one end of the handle, resulting in a loose fit at the other end. When the two handle components are engaged, the concave-convex structures at both ends can function simultaneously, distributing the locking force to both ends of the handle, forming a stable two-point locking structure. This provides a more balanced and comprehensive limiting and connection effect, further enhancing the integrity and stability of the entire handle structure. During the use of the cookware, regardless of which end of the handle is subjected to external force, the concave-convex mating structures at both ends can effectively disperse and bear the external force, preventing the separation or loosening of components due to uneven local force. This ensures that the cookware handle maintains a tight fit between all components when bearing the weight of the cookware and various operational external forces.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, a locking protrusion is located at the first end of the first handle component 1, and a first locking recess 1221 is formed on the locking protrusion. In the aforementioned scheme where the locking protrusion is formed on the locking member 12, the first locking recess 1221 is formed on the mating portion 122 of the locking member 12. This design allows the locking protrusion to not only mate with the sliding rail 21 but also with the concave-convex structure of the second handle component 2, integrating multiple functions into one part, resulting in a more compact and rational structure. During assembly, the operator only needs to focus on this key part at the first end of the first handle component 1, ensuring its accurate mating with the corresponding structure of the second handle component 2. This simultaneously achieves the sliding engagement of the locking protrusion with the sliding rail 21 and the engagement with the concave-convex structure, improving the convenience and accuracy of assembly. It also reduces potential errors that may occur during assembly due to the need to align and fit multiple dispersed parts, thus improving production efficiency and product quality. This integrated design strengthens the correlation between the various mating parts 122. During use, when the cookware is subjected to external forces, the various structures can work together to better withstand the forces. For example, the engagement of the first locking recess 1221 and the second locking protrusion 22 further enhances the stability of the locking protrusion after it engages with the sliding track 21, preventing structural damage or loosening due to excessive local stress. This improves the reliability and stability of the overall handle structure and ensures the normal function of the cookware handle. In other embodiments, the first locking recess 1221 can be formed not only on the locking protrusion but also on the main body 11.

[0057] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second end of the first handle component 1 is provided with a stop protrusion 112, and the first locking protrusion 111 is located on the side of the stop protrusion 112 closer to the first end. When the first handle component 1 and the second handle component 2 are engaged, the stop protrusion 112 abuts against the end face of the second end of the second handle component 2 and blocks the view of the convex-concave mating structure formed by the first locking protrusion 111 and the second locking recess 23. This makes the handle more aesthetically pleasing and neat, avoiding the unsightly appearance and easy staining that may result from the exposed internal convex-concave mating structure. Moreover, the stop protrusion 112 provides additional limiting and protection, effectively preventing external factors from interfering with the convex-concave mating structure, further stabilizing the connection between the two handle components, and preventing the convex-concave mating structure from loosening or failing due to accidental collisions, external pulling, etc., thus enhancing the stability of the handle in complex usage environments. In addition, the presence of the stop protrusion 112 also makes the user feel more comfortable when holding the handle, without feeling the abruptness of the convex-concave mating structure, improving the overall user experience of using the cookware.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the detachable cookware handle has a first end for connecting to the cookware body and a second end away from the cookware body. The first handle component 1 slides relative to the second handle component 2 in the direction from the second end to the first end to achieve locking. Specifically, the first end of the handle corresponds to the first end of the first handle component 1 and the second handle component 2 described in the previous embodiments, and the second end of the handle corresponds to the second end of the first handle component 1 and the second handle component 2 described in the previous embodiments. The connector 3 is connected to the first end of the handle, so the first end is the head end close to the cookware body, and the second end is the tail end away from the cookware body. Locking is achieved by restricting the sliding of the first handle component 1 relative to the second handle component 2 in the direction from the second end to the first end. In other words, the first handle component 1 slides forward from the tail end to achieve locking, sliding until the locking protrusion abuts against the stop end 212 of the sliding track 21. At this time, the stop protrusion 112 also abuts against the end face of the second end of the second handle component 2. Specifically, based on the design of the locking protrusion being located in the first handle component 1, the locking protrusion passes through the through hole 31 of the connector 3. Therefore, the point of force exerted by the cookware body on the handle through the connector 3 is the locking protrusion. Thus, this design conforms to the force characteristics of the cookware in actual use. When the user holds the handle to operate the cookware, the weight of the cookware will be transmitted to the handle along this direction. The main force is that the connector 3 drives the locking protrusion to slide forward. The forward sliding is the direction of sliding installation of the first handle component 1. Therefore, these external forces can strengthen the stopping of the locking protrusion on the stop end 212 of the sliding track 21 and the stopping protrusion 112 on the second end of the second handle component 2, thereby better utilizing its own structure for force distribution and resistance, effectively preventing loosening or separation of components due to force, optimizing the force performance of the handle structure, ensuring the stability of the handle during use, and also facilitating the disassembly of the handle in the opposite direction when needed.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, based on the design where the locking protrusion is located on the first handle component 1 and the sliding rail 21 is located on the second handle component 2, a guide groove 24 is further provided on the second handle component 2. The guide groove 24 is located at one end of the sliding rail 21 and communicates with the sliding rail 21. The depth of the guide groove 24 is not less than the depth of the sliding rail 21. The guide groove 24 is used to accommodate and guide the locking protrusion to engage or disengage with the sliding rail 21. During assembly, the guide groove 24 can accurately accommodate and guide the locking protrusion to engage with the sliding rail 21. The operator can first align the locking protrusion with the guide groove 24, and then easily guide it into the sliding rail 21 along the guide groove 24. This reduces the difficulty of assembly and makes the assembly process, which may have been difficult to operate due to the need for precise alignment with the sliding rail 21, much easier. It also reduces the possibility of damage to the components due to improper operation and improves the success rate and efficiency of assembly. During disassembly, the guide groove 24 can also help to smoothly separate the locking protrusion from the sliding rail 21. The operator only needs to gently pull the first handle component 1 along the direction of the guide groove 24 to make the locking protrusion smoothly disengage from the sliding rail 21, which improves the practicality of the handle detachment function, makes it convenient for users to flexibly disassemble and assemble the cookware handle, and enhances the user experience.

[0060] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first handle component 1 and the second handle component 2 have a first mating groove 113 and a second mating groove 25 respectively on their opposite inner surfaces. When the first handle component 1 and the second handle component 2 are engaged, the first mating groove 113 and the second mating groove 25 together form a receiving cavity for accommodating at least a portion of the connecting member 3. Specifically, since the area of ​​the connecting member 3 clamped by the two handle components is accommodated through the receiving cavity, the locking member 12 needs to be embedded in the first mating groove 113. The sliding track 21 and the second locking protrusion 22 are formed together in the second mating groove 25, and the guide groove 24 communicates with the second mating groove 25. Through the accommodating function of the receiving cavity, on the one hand, it can avoid the appearance of mating gaps between the two handle components. When the two handle components are connected, they can fit tightly together, ensuring the flatness and smoothness of the handle grip surface, improving the user's comfort when holding the handle, avoiding the discomfort caused by gaps, and optimizing the user experience. On the other hand, the receiving cavity plays a certain limiting role for the connector 3, so that the connector 3 is in a relatively stable position during the use of the handle. This helps to maintain the cooperation relationship between the various parts of the handle and prevents the connection stability between the two handle parts from being affected by the shaking of the connector 3. This further ensures the stability of the entire cookware handle structure when it is subjected to the weight of the cookware and various external operating forces.
