Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a pot handle, and particularly to a detachable pot handle.

Background Art

[0002] Pots generally include a pot body and a pot handle provided on the outside of the pot body, and the user can hold the pot by hand through the pot handle. Conventional pot handles and pot bodies are usually fixed by welding or screw connection. Such a connection method has good fixity, but there are also detachable pot handles among them.

[0003] The detachable pot handle with high use safety disclosed in Publication No. CN222942232U includes a handle body, a clamp seat located at the front end of the handle body, a clamp body that can be telescoped with respect to the clamp seat, and a drive member attached to the handle body to expand and contract the clamp body. The drive member has a rotary base that can rotate in the left - right direction with respect to the handle body, and a transmission structure connected between the rotary base and the clamp body. A rotary arm that can rotate in the up - down direction with respect to the rotary base is hinged to the rotary base.

[0004] In the detachable pot handle structure with the above - mentioned configuration, since the telescoping of the clamp body is achieved by rotating the rotary arm, when opening or tightening using the pot handle, it is necessary to operate with both hands simultaneously. If only one hand is available, it will cause inconvenience to the user.

[0017] The removable pot handle comprises a handle body 1, which includes a base 11 and an upper case 12, with the base 11 and upper case 12 fitting together to form the handle body 1. A cavity 13 is formed between the base 11 and the upper case 12, and a clamp seat 14 is provided at the front end of the base 11.

[0018] A clamp member 2 is provided on the handle body 1, and the clamp member 2 is movable back and forth on the handle body 1 relative to the clamp seat 14. The clamp member 2 includes an integrally molded clamp portion 22 and a slide plate 23, the slide plate 23 is positioned between the base 11 and the upper case 12, and the clamp portion 22 is located at the front end of the clamp seat 14. The clamp portion 22 and the clamp seat 14 cooperate with each other to clamp pots and pans.

[0019] A spring 3 is provided in the cavity 13. The spring 3 is for biasing the clamp member 2 to extend the clamp member 2 forward. Further, a first spring mounting groove 15 is formed in the cavity 13, and a second spring mounting groove 21 is formed at the end of the slide plate 23. The first end of the spring 3 is inserted into the first spring mounting groove 15, and its end face abuts against the inner wall of the first spring mounting groove 15. The second end of the spring 3 is inserted into the second spring mounting groove 21, and its end face abuts against the inner wall of the second spring mounting groove 21.

[0020] A drive member 4 is provided on the handle body 1. The drive member 4 is for retracting the clamp member 2 to bring the clamp part 22 and the clamp seat 14 closer to each other. Further, the first end of the drive member 4 is pivotally supported rotatably in the cavity 13, and a rotating shaft 24 is provided on the slide plate 23. The rotating shaft 24 penetrates through the middle part of the drive member 4 and is connected rotatably. An operation part 41 is provided at the second end of the drive member 4, and the operation part 41 protrudes externally from above the handle body 1. The user moves the slide plate 23 relative to the drive member 4 by pressing the operation part 41.

[0021] A lock member 5 is further provided on the handle body 1. The lock member 5 is for locking the slide plate 23 to make the slide plate 23 immovable. When the cookware is clamped by the clamp part 22 and the clamp seat 14, the lock member 5 engages with the slide plate 23 to make the slide plate 23 immovable, and the pot handle is always held in a clamped state with respect to the cookware.

[0022] Further, a locking claw 25 is provided on the slide plate 23, and a locking groove part 51 which locks and engages with the locking claw 25 is provided on the lock member 5. When the cookware is clamped by the clamp part 22 and the clamp seat 14, the locking claw 25 is locked in the locking groove part 51, and in this state, the slide plate 23 becomes immovable.

[0023] On the upper part of the lock member 5, a pressing portion 52 that can project outward from the handle body 1 is provided, and a return spring 6 is provided on the lower part of the lock member 5. The return spring 6 constantly applies a force in the direction in which the pressing portion 52 projects from the handle body 1, that is, a force that biases the lock member 5 upward. As a result, the lock member 5 can always be locked to the slide plate 23.

[0024] A first return spring mounting groove 16 is formed in the cavity 13, and a second return spring mounting groove 53 is formed at the bottom of the lock member 5. The first end portion of the return spring 6 is inserted into the first return spring mounting groove 16, and the end portion thereof abuts against the inner wall of the first return spring mounting groove 16. The second end portion of the return spring 6 is inserted into the second return spring mounting groove 53, and the end portion thereof abuts against the inner wall of the second return spring mounting groove 53.

[0025] A positioning step portion 54 that engages with the handle body 1 is provided on the outer wall of the lock member 5, and the return spring 6 biases the lock member 5 to engage the positioning step portion 54 with the inner wall of the handle body 1.

[0026] A first guide slope 26 is provided on the locking claw 25, and a second guide slope 55 that slidably guides with the first guide slope 26 is provided in the locking groove portion 51. When the clamp member 2 is moved rearward by the drive member 4, the first guide slope 26 contacts and slides on the second guide slope 55, and the first guide slope 26 presses the second guide slope 55 to move the lock member 5 downward. At this time, the return spring 6 is gradually compressed, and when the locking claw 25 moves into the engaging groove of the locking groove portion 51, the return spring 6 elastically returns to engage the locking claw 25 with the locking groove portion 51.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the removable pot handle is in an open state, the spring 3 is in an extended state and biases the clamp member 2 forward, and the clamp portion 22 and the clamp seat 14 are in an open state where they are separated from each other.

[0028] When it is necessary to clamp pots and pans, the clamp portion 22 and clamp seat 14 are positioned on the inside and outside of the pots and pans, respectively, and the user manually pushes and rotates the drive member 4. The drive member 4 moves the clamp member 2 backward until the locking claw 25 engages with the locking groove portion 51, at which point the pots and pans are clamped by the clamp portion 22 and clamp seat 14 (see Figures 3 and 4).

[0029] When it is necessary to remove the removable pot handle, the pressing part 52 is pushed downward, and the locking member 5 is moved downward. After the locking claw 25 disengages from the locking groove 51, the clamping member 2 moves forward due to the biasing force of the spring 3, and the removable pot handle can be removed by separating the clamp part 22 from the clamp seat 14, returning the system to the state shown in Figures 1 and 2.
