However, the structures of the first and second engaging portions are not limited thereto, as long as the first and second engaging portions can be engaged with each other in the first direction. For example, although not shown, the first engagement portion may be a catch portion 121 formed on the second end of the mount 11, and the second engagement portion may be an undercut groove 111 formed on the first end of the handle 12.

In order to facilitate engagement of the hooking portion 121 in the undercut groove 111, a side opening 113 that communicates the undercut groove 111 with the outside may be formed on a side surface of the mount 11, and an end opening 123 that communicates the hooking portion 121 with the outside may be formed on an end surface of the first end of the handle 12, the hooking portion 121 being insertable into the undercut groove 111 from the side opening 113 in the second direction. Further, the handle 12 extends outwardly from the end opening 123 in a first direction.

In the handle assembly according to the exemplary embodiment of the present utility model, the sectional area of the end opening 123 is smaller than the sectional area of the back-off groove 111, so that the stopper boss 114 capable of abutting with the hooking portion 121 is formed on the sidewall of the back-off groove 111 to lock the mount 11 and the handle 12 in the first direction when the hooking portion 121 is engaged in the back-off groove 111, thereby preventing the handle 12 from falling off from the mount 11 in the first direction.

The handle 12 also has a locking pin receiving hole 122 formed therein that extends along the length of the handle 12. The locking pin 13 is provided in the locking pin receiving hole 122 and can be extended or retracted from the locking pin receiving hole 122 to lock or release the mount 11 and the handle 12 in the second direction.

In addition, a limiting hole 112 extends from the back-off slot 111 toward the first end of the mount 11 to facilitate receiving the locking pin 13 extending from the locking pin receiving hole 122.

In the handle assembly according to the exemplary embodiment of the present utility model, the handle assembly may further include an elastic member 14, the elastic member 14 being disposed in the locking pin receiving hole 122 and abutting against an inner side end of the locking pin 13, and applying an elastic force to the locking pin 13 to extend the locking pin 13 outward, thereby maintaining a locked state in which the locking pin 13 is inserted into the limiting hole 112.

In the handle assembly according to the exemplary embodiment of the present utility model, although not shown, the handle assembly may further include a first magnet provided on the other end of the locking pin 13 and a second magnet provided on the bottom surface of the locking pin receiving hole 122, and the locking pin may be protruded outwardly from the locking pin receiving hole 122 by a magnetic repulsive force between the first magnet and the second magnet so as to maintain the locked state of the locking pin 13 inserted into the limiting hole 112.

In addition, the handle assembly may further include a key 15, and a key receiving hole 124 for allowing the locking pin receiving hole 122 to communicate with the outside may be formed on a side surface of the handle 12, and the key 15 is disposed in the key receiving hole 124 and fixedly coupled with the locking pin 13. Thus, by operating the key 15, the lock pin 13 can be driven to move in the first direction, simplifying the operation of assembling and disassembling the handle 12.

As shown in fig. 4, the key 15 may include a key main body 151 and key beads 152 extending downward from a lower surface of the key main body 151. A key fixing groove 131 capable of communicating with the key receiving hole 124 may be formed on a side surface of the locking pin 13 such that the key rib 152 may pass through the key receiving hole 124 to be inserted into the key fixing groove 131 and interference-fit with the key fixing groove 131 to be fixedly connected with the locking pin 13. The key main body 151 may be located on a side surface of the handle 12 to facilitate the user's operation of the keys 15. In addition, wavy protrusions may be formed on the upper surface of the key main body 151 to increase friction with the user's hand, preventing slipping.

When the handle 12 and the mount 11 are connected to each other, by pushing the key 15 in a first direction toward a second end of the handle 12 (i.e., a rear end of the handle), the locking pin 13 is retracted rearward into the locking pin receiving hole 122, and then the first and second locking parts are engaged with each other in a second direction, specifically, the hook part is inserted into the back-off groove 111, so that the first and second locking parts are engaged with each other, the mount 11 and the handle 12 are locked in the first direction, and then the key 15 is released, and the pin 13 is protruded toward the mount under the action of the spring and inserted into the limiting hole 112, so that the mount 11 and the handle 12 are locked in the second direction, thereby locking the handle 12 to the 11, as shown in fig. 5. At this time, the elastic member 14 applies an elastic force to the lock pin 13 to extend the lock pin 13 outward, thereby maintaining the locked state in which the lock pin 13 is inserted into the limit hole 112. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the handle 12, as shown in fig. 6, first, the lock pin 13 is completely retracted into the lock pin receiving hole 122 by pushing the key 15 toward the second end of the handle 12, thereby unlocking the mount 11 and the handle 12 in the second direction. Then, in the first direction, the handle 12 and the mount 11 are moved away from each other in a direction opposite to the mounting direction, so that the handle 12 is removed from the mount 11.

According to the cup cover assembly and the kitchen utensil, the handle and the functional piece can be detachably connected, the structure is simple, the operation of assembling and disassembling the handle is simple, and other connecting parts or auxiliary tools are not needed.
