Example 1:

a pot handle is shown in figure 1 and comprises a handle upper main body 1, a handle lower main body 2, a movable harrow 3, a deflector rod 4, a safety bolt 5, a first elastic piece 6 and a second elastic piece 7.

A movable rake 3, preferably a steel rake, especially a stainless steel rake, is located in a channel groove 10 in the upper body of the handle, as shown in FIG. 2B. When in the active state, the movable rake 3 can move in the channel groove 10.

As shown in fig. 5A, the front end of the movable harrow 3 is provided with a harrow head 30 which is used for clamping the pot wall between the movable harrow and the upper main body of the handle. The rake head 30 at the front end of the movable rake, where it is intended to contact the pot wall, preferably has a shape suitable for gripping the pot, such as having an arcuate surface (as shown in fig. 5A) to conform to the pot wall; a protective jacket 34 is also preferably provided, which may be a heat resistant resin or silicone jacket, and more preferably a silicone jacket having a corrugated contact surface (as shown in fig. 1 and 5B).

The movable harrow 3 (preferably, the middle part or the front half part of the movable harrow) is provided with a through hole 32. If the moving direction of the movable harrow 3 is defined as a long direction (x direction) and the horizontal direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the movable harrow 3 is defined as a wide direction (y direction), the through hole has a fall of width along the x direction (moving direction of the movable harrow). As shown in fig. 5A, the through hole 32 has a drop of width at the detent 320. For example, the through hole at the front side of the position-locking portion 320 is wider, and the through hole at the rear section of the position-locking portion 320 is narrower. When the wider portion 52 of the safety bar 5 is located in the wider wide hole in front of the detent 320, it will be caught in the detent 320 and cannot be moved into the narrower hole in the rear because of the inappropriate width. As shown in fig. 5A, the through hole at the front side of the detent 320 is a through hole similar to a circle. The wide portion 52 of the safety bar 5 is located in the circular-like through hole when locked. As shown in fig. 5A, the through hole at the rear side of the position-locking part 320 is a long channel with a narrow width. When unlocked, the thin portion 51 of the safety bar 5 can move in the long channel. Of course, the widest point (diameter of the circle) of the circular-like through hole of the front side is larger than the width of the long channel of the rear side.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2B, the safety bar 5 may be a cylinder having a wide portion 52 and a thin portion 51. Preferably integrally formed, such as a metal member, preferably a steel member, especially stainless steel. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the safety plug 5 has three cylinders, an upper cylinder with a smaller diameter, a middle cylinder with a larger diameter, and a lower cylinder with a smaller diameter.

The movable harrow 3 (preferably, the rear half part of the movable harrow) is provided with a projection 31. The protrusion 31 may be integrally formed with the movable rake 3. The projection 31 forms a vertical abutment surface 310. As shown in fig. 2B and 5B, the lever 4 is placed on the movable rake 3 and is positioned by abutting against the protrusion 31 via the abutting surface 310.

As shown in fig. 2B, the shift lever 4 has a longitudinal bar 41 and a transverse bar 42 that are angled with respect to each other. Optionally, the shift lever 4 is L-shaped, i.e. the longitudinal bar 41 and the transverse bar 42 preferably have an included angle of 90 degrees therebetween. A lever cap 43 is optionally provided on the longitudinal lever portion to facilitate finger movement of the lever. The driver 4 is preferably integrally formed, such as a metal part, preferably a steel part, in particular stainless steel. The cross bar 42 is abutted against the protrusion 31 of the movable harrow 3 and is positioned in the channel groove 10, so that the movable harrow 3 can be driven to move together in the channel groove 10 or driven by the movable harrow 3 to move together in the channel groove 10. The longitudinal rod 41 of the shift lever 4 is located in a shift lever groove 11 on the upper side of the handle upper body 1, as shown in fig. 2A. In the unlocked state, the longitudinal rod 41 of the shift lever 4 can move along the shift lever groove 11.

The poker bar groove 11 is a through hole located on the upper side of the handle upper body 1. Preferably, the deflector rod slot 11 has a transverse slot parallel to the direction of movement of the movable rake 3 and has a side slot at an angle (e.g., orthogonal) to the direction of movement of the movable rake 3. For example, as shown in fig. 2A, the horizontal groove and the side groove of the lever groove 11 are formed in an L shape, but the present invention is not limited to the L shape, and may be a T shape, a V shape, or the like.

As shown in fig. 5B and fig. 1, the rear end of the movable rake 3 is connected to the front end of the first elastic member 6 (e.g., a spring) after assembly. For example, the rear end of the movable rake 3 is caught in the first elastic member 6 by a step structure (as shown in fig. 1 and 5A). The rear end of the first resilient element 6 then abuts against the rear wall of the passage slot 10 of the body 1 of the handle (see fig. 2B).

After assembly, the lower part of the safety bar 5 is fitted over a second resilient member 7, for example a spring. The lower end of the safety bar 5 can pass through the second elastic member 7 and be positioned in the positioning hole 21 of the handle lower body 2 (as shown in fig. 1 and 2B).

The pot handle of the present invention is used as follows.

< State from opening to closing >

An open state: the pan handle shown in fig. 2A and 2B is in an open state. At this time, the position bolt 5 is in a depressed state, and the second elastic member 7 is compressed. The thin part 51 of the safety bolt 5 is positioned in a narrow hole (such as a narrow long channel) of the through hole 32 of the movable rake 3, and the diameter of the thin part 51 of the safety bolt 5 is slightly smaller than the width of the narrow hole of the through hole 32 of the movable rake 3, so that the front and back movement of the movable rake is not hindered. The longitudinal rod 41 of the deflector rod 4 is positioned in the transverse groove of the deflector rod groove 11, and the movable harrow 3 is ejected due to the action of the first elastic piece 6.

And (3) clamping process: in order to close the pan handle, for example, in order to clamp a pan wall between the rake head 30 and the upper body 1 of the handle, the user needs to push the lever 4 backwards, the lever 4 moves backwards along the transverse slot of the lever slot 11 and thus brings the movable rake 3 together to move backwards, and at the same time, the first elastic member 6 is compressed, reaching the state shown in fig. 3A and 3B. At this time, the positioning bolt 5 is in a pressed state, and the thin part 51 of the safety bolt 5 is located in the through hole 32 of the movable rake 3, so that the backward movement of the movable rake 3 is not hindered.

A first locking process: the user dials the dial 4 to move backwards along the transverse groove of the dial groove 11, and the movable rake 3 moves backwards along with the dial. When the wide hole part of the through hole 32 of the movable rake 3, such as a circular-like through hole, reaches the position of the safety pin 5, since the diameter of the wide part 52 of the safety pin 5 is slightly smaller than that of the wide hole part of the through hole 32, the wide part 52 of the safety pin 5 is sprung up by the compressed second elastic member 7 and enters the wide hole part of the through hole 32, and the wide part 52 of the safety pin 5 thus catches the movable rake 3, so that the movable rake 3 cannot move forward or backward any more. Thereby achieving a first locking of the movable rake 3. As shown in fig. 4A and 4B.

And a second locking process: when the first lock occurs, the user dials the dial 4 to a position where the lateral groove of the dial groove 11 is connected to the lateral groove. To enhance the locking effect, a second locking may be performed. In the second locking, the user further pulls the longitudinal bar 41 of the lever 4 along the side groove of the lever groove 11. In fig. 4A and 4B, the side slot of the lever slot 11 is located on the left side of the transverse slot, so that the user toggles the longitudinal lever 41 of the lever 4 to the left. At this time, since the position of the cross bar 42 is restricted in the passage groove 10, the shift lever 4 is rotated as a whole, that is, rotated about the center axis of the cross bar 42. The longitudinal rod 41 of the driver 4 is therefore jammed in the side groove of the driver groove 11. At this time, the first elastic member 6 at the rear side of the movable rake 3 is compressed, and there is a force to push the movable rake 3 forward, but this forward tendency is stopped by the shift lever 4 through the protrusion 31. Because the side groove of the deflector rod groove 11 forms a certain angle with the moving direction of the movable harrow 3, when the longitudinal rod 41 of the deflector rod 4 is positioned in the side groove, the forward moving trend along with the movable harrow 3 can be blocked by the side wall of the side groove, thereby realizing the second locking of the movable harrow 3. As shown in fig. 4A and 4B.

In one embodiment, the through hole 32 and the protrusion 31 of the movable rake 3 are not located on a straight line, but are located at the left and right ends of the central axis p. As shown in fig. 5A, the protrusion 31 is located at the left side of the movable rake 3, and the through hole 32 is located at the right side of the movable rake 3. This avoids interference between the two locking structures when locked. If the through hole 32 and the protrusion 31 of the movable rake 3 are located on a straight line, the force of the double locking on the movable rake 3 is on the same straight line during the double locking, which easily causes the deformation of the movable rake 3. The through hole 32 and the protrusion 31 of the movable rake 3 are not located on a straight line, so that the whole structure is more stable and firm.

< closed to open State >

The process of releasing the second lock: the user wants to open a closed handle and first releases the second lock. The user pulls the longitudinal bar 41 of the lever 4 along the side groove of the lever groove 11 in a direction toward the lateral groove of the lever groove 11. In fig. 4A and 4B, the lateral slot of the lever slot 11 is located on the right side of the lateral slot, so that the user is to dial the longitudinal bar 41 of the lever 4 to the right. At this time, since the position of the cross bar 42 is restricted in the passage groove 10, the shift lever 4 is rotated as a whole, that is, rotated about the center axis of the cross bar 42. When the longitudinal rod 41 of the shift lever 4 is shifted into the transverse groove of the shift lever groove 11, the forward movement trend of the longitudinal rod 41 of the shift lever 4 along with the movable rake 3 is no longer blocked by the side wall of the side groove, thereby realizing the release of the second locking.

The process of releasing the first lock: when the second lock is released, the movable rake 3 cannot move forward freely because it is still locked by the first lock, i.e., the wide portion 52 of the safety bar 5 is located at the wide hole of the through hole 32, thus preventing the movement of the movable rake 3. To release the second locking, the user needs to depress the safety bar 5 so that the wide portion 52 of the safety bar 5 is lowered below the through hole 32, the thin portion 51 of the safety bar 5 is located in the through hole 32, and the diameter of the thin portion 51 of the safety bar 5 is smaller than the width of the narrow hole of the through hole 32, thereby not obstructing the forward movement of the movable rake 3, thereby achieving the release of the first locking.

And (3) opening process: when the second locking and the first locking are both released, the movable rake 3 moves forward under the push of the first elastic piece 6, and the deflector rod 4 is also driven to move forward together. At this time, the position bolt 5 is in a depressed state, and the second elastic member 7 is compressed. The wide portion 52 of the safety bar 5 descends below the through hole 32, and its position is always maintained at the lower portion of the through hole 32 because its width is larger than the width of the narrow hole (e.g., narrow long channel) of the through hole 32 of the movable rake 3. The thin part 51 of the safety bolt 5 is positioned in the narrow hole (such as a narrow long channel) of the through hole 32 of the movable rake 3, and the diameter of the thin part 51 of the safety bolt 5 is slightly smaller than the width of the narrow hole of the through hole 32 of the movable rake 3. The handle eventually returns to the open position shown in fig. 2A and 2B.

The invention has the following beneficial effects:

the dual locking structure applies dual locking force, so that the locking is firmer when the handle is closed, the handle can lift a cooker (and food in the cooker) with heavier weight, the handle is not easy to fall off, and the handle is safer and more reliable.

In the present invention, if there is only the first locking, but not the second locking, the safety bolt 5 cannot bear heavy lifting weight because of limited locking capability.

If only the second locking is carried out, the first locking is not carried out, in the process of carrying the pot, since the fingers are always on the handle, misoperation is easy to occur, for example, the fingers touch the shifting lever rightwards carelessly, and therefore potential safety hazards are generated. The first lock in the present invention is an additional safety catch effect, and the handle does not open when the first lock is locked even if the second lock is released by the user's careless erroneous operation.

In the invention, the second locking bears most of the lifting weight, and the first locking is the effect of the safety bolt.

The invention is convenient to operate and can be suitable for single-hand operation. When the door is closed, a finger, such as a thumb, is used to push the shift lever 4 backwards and then push the shift lever 4 leftwards. When the safety plug is opened, a finger, such as a thumb, is used to push the deflector rod 4 to the right, and then the safety plug 5 is pressed.

In addition, the invention has simple structure, is real, has no fine parts which are easy to damage, and is convenient to be put into a dish washer for cleaning. Because the bolt structure is easy to corrode or mildew accumulated water when the dishwasher is washed, the bolt structure is reduced as much as possible, and the bolt structure is more suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher.

Example 2

Example 2 differs from example 1 in that: it is further preferred that the handle lower body 2 is provided with a drain channel 22, such as a C-shaped drain channel through hole, for draining accumulated water in the handle.

Accumulated water is discharged, so that the service life of the stainless steel material can be prolonged, mildew breeding can be prevented, and the sanitation of the food cooking process is guaranteed. The design of the drain channel makes the handle more suitable for cleaning and washing in a dishwasher.

Example 3

Example 3 differs from example 2 in that: the front of the lower body 2 of the handle is provided with a cover plate 8, such as a steel plate, preferably of stainless steel. The cover plate 8 covers the mounting hole 9 for connecting the handle upper body 2 and the handle lower body 2.

After the assembly, the middle part of the lower handle body 2 and the cover plate 8 form a step, so that hands are prevented from moving to the stainless steel cover plate 8, and the hands can be prevented from being scalded.

In addition, the underside of the cover plate 8 has a wide edge 23, which also helps to prevent scalding.

The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concepts and features of the present invention, and the purpose of the embodiments is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement the present invention, and not to limit the protection scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
