Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0018] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As those skilled in the art will understand, these descriptions are illustrative and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Note that the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements in the following drawings. Therefore, if an element is defined in a certain drawing, it may not be redefined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0020] The removable pot handle includes a handle body 1, and the handle body 1 includes an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 12. The handle body 1 is formed by the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 being fitted to each other. A cavity 13 is formed between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12, and the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0021] A clamp seat 14 is provided at the front end of the handle body 1, and a clamping member 2 that can move forward and backward with respect to the clamp seat 14 is provided on the handle body 1. The clamping member 2 includes an integrally formed connection plate 21 and a clamp plate 22. The connection plate 21 is inserted and arranged in the cavity 13, and the clamp plate 22 protrudes from the handle body 1 and cooperates with the clamp seat 14 to form a clamp for clamping pots.

[0022] A spring 3 is provided in the cavity 13, and the spring 3 constantly applies a force to extend forward with respect to the clamping member 2. Further, a spring connection portion 23 is provided at the rear end of the clamping member 2, and the front end of the spring 3 is fitted into the spring connection portion 23, and its end abuts against the clamping member 2. A spring mounting groove 31 is provided in the cavity 13, and the rear end of the spring 3 abuts against the inside of the spring mounting groove 31.

[0023] A driving member 4 is provided on the handle body 1, and the driving member 4 is used to move the clamping member 2 backward. When the user manually presses and moves the driving member 4, the clamping member 2 moves. A connecting member 41 is provided on the clamping member 2, and the connecting member 41 protrudes from the handle body 1 and is fixedly connected to the driving member 4. Further, the connecting member 41 is a screw, and the screw is screwed and coupled to the driving member 4.

[0024] A slide groove 15 is formed in the upper cover 11, and the driving member 4 is restricted from moving in the slide groove 15. An operation portion 42 extending upward is formed on the driving member 4, which is convenient for the user to press and move the driving member 4.

[0025] A guide groove 20 is formed at the bottom of the slide groove 15, connecting the slide groove 15 and the cavity 13, and the connecting member 41 is slidable within the guide groove 20.

[0026] By manually pulling the drive member 4 backward, the drive member 4 moves the clamp member 2 backward, causing the clamp plate 22 and the clamp seat 14 to move closer to each other and clamp the pots and pans.

[0027] Both the clamp plate 22 and the clamp seat 14 are provided with anti-slip members 6, and anti-slip protrusions 61 are formed on the anti-slip members 6. This makes the holding of pots and pans more stable after they have been clamped, and prevents them from slipping off.

[0028] The clamp member 2 is provided with a locking member 7, and the locking member 7 is provided with a return spring 71. When the removable pot handle is in the locked position, the locking member 7 engages with the inner wall of the cavity 13 via the return spring 71 to assume the locked position. The handle body 1 is also provided with a release member 8, which drives the locking member 7 to release its engagement with the locking projection 17.

[0029] A locking projection 17 is provided inside the cavity 13, and when the removable pot handle is locked, the locking member 7 engages with the locking projection 17. As a result, the clamping member 2 does not move and the spring 3 is compressed. In addition, the return spring 42 presses the locking member and brings it into contact with the unlocking member 8.

[0030] When unlocking, pressing the unlocking member 8 disengages the locking member 7 from the locking projection 17, causing the spring 71 to press and move the clamping member 2, which in turn moves the locking member 7 to a position below the locking projection 17. The locking member 7 is always in contact with the locking projection 17, and the return spring 42 is held in a compressed state.

[0031] The locking member 7 includes a fixing rod 72 and a locking sleeve 73. The fixing rod 72 passes through the connecting plate 21 and is then fixedly connected to the locking sleeve 73. The return spring 71 is fitted onto the fixing rod 72, with both ends of the spring contacting the locking sleeve 73 and the connecting plate 21, respectively.

[0032] The locking projection 17 is provided with a first guide curved surface 19, and the locking sleeve 73 is provided with a second guide curved surface 74 that conforms to the first guide curved surface 19. This makes the movement of the locking member 7 even smoother.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the removable pot handle is in the open position, and the spring 3 presses against the clamp member 2, causing it to protrude and forming a notch 10 between it and the clamp seat 14 for inserting pots and pans. The drive member 4 is located at the foremost end of the slide groove 15, and the locking member 7 is positioned below the locking projection 17.

[0034] When it is necessary to clamp pots and pans, the notch 10 is aligned with the pots and pans, and the pots and pans are placed inside the notch 10, and the drive member 4 is pulled backward. The drive member 4 moves the clamp member 2 backward, and as the clamp member 2 moves backward, the spring 3 is gradually compressed, the lock member 7 first contacts the locking projection 17, the locking sleeve 73 moves downward, and the return spring 71 is compressed. After the lock member 7 moves past the locking projection 17, the return spring 71 elastically returns, the locking sleeve 73 locks onto the locking projection 17, and the top of the locking sleeve 73 contacts the lower surface of the unlocking member 8. As a result, the lock member 7 locks the clamp member 2, and the pots and pans are clamped between the clamp member 2 and the clamp seat 14 (see Figures 3-4).

[0035] When it is necessary to remove the removable pot handle, the release member 8 is pressed, causing the release member 8 to push the locking member 7 downwards. After the locking member 7 disengages from the locking projection 17, the spring 3 elastically returns to its original position, moving the clamping member 2 forward, opening the notch 10, and returning to the state shown in Figures 1 and 2. In this state, the removable pot handle can be removed.
