Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of infant feeding tools, and in particular to a supplementary food bowl. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of infant and toddler complementary food feeding, the feeding bowl is a key tool, and its functional design directly affects feeding efficiency and safety. However, existing technologies have significant shortcomings: First, the materials are not sufficiently safe and adaptable. Some products use entirely hard materials, which can easily cause injury to infants and toddlers due to bumps and knocks. Designs where only the spout is made of soft material only provide limited protection and cannot effectively cushion easily touched areas such as the upper rim of the bowl, still posing safety hazards. Second, the volume control lacks a precise guiding structure. When parents use a spoon to scoop complementary food, the lack of a quantitative benchmark or flow guide design often results in excessive amounts being taken at once, requiring repeated scraping, which affects the feeding rhythm and increases operational complexity. Third, the functional integration is low. Most products do not have a grinding area, making it impossible to grind lumpy complementary foods into a fine state. Moreover, the bottom of most bowls is horizontal, lacking an automatic aggregation and guiding design for viscous complementary foods such as rice cereal and fruit puree. This leads to a scattered distribution of complementary food during feeding, making it difficult to accurately control the flow rate, significantly reducing feeding efficiency and the infant's feeding experience. The aforementioned defects indicate that existing baby food bowls have technical bottlenecks in terms of material safety, dosage control, and functional integrity, and performance optimization urgently needs to be achieved through structural innovation. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a baby food bowl.

[0004] This utility model proposes a baby food bowl, which includes a lower bowl body made of rigid material and an upper bowl body made of silicone material. The upper bowl body is arranged around the upper edge of the lower bowl body. The upper bowl body includes an integrally formed drainage part and a bowl mouth part. The drainage part is located at the upper edge of the front side of the lower bowl body.

[0005] In the above technical solution, a rigid lower bowl ensures structural strength and stability, bearing the basic load-bearing function; a silicone upper bowl surrounds the upper edge of the lower bowl, utilizing the soft properties of silicone to reduce the risk of injury to infants from bumps and knocks, thus improving safety. The one-piece molded drainage section and bowl opening simplify the structural design, enhance the overall integrity of the upper bowl, and the front-mounted drainage section allows for precise dispensing and drainage of complementary foods, optimizing the feeding process.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper bowl also includes a baffle, which is located on the upper rear edge of the bowl rim. This baffle helps to block and limit the amount of food being fed, preventing spills. It also provides a leveling guide for parents when scooping food with a spoon, facilitating precise control of the amount fed at each feeding and preventing infants from being unable to swallow too much at once, thus improving the accuracy and convenience of feeding procedures.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper rim of the lower bowl features a serrated structure in the middle and a "V"-shaped groove that matches the feeding portion. The serrated structure in the middle of the upper rim increases the contact area and friction between the lower bowl and the silicone upper bowl, improving their tightness and preventing the upper bowl from detaching, thus enhancing the overall structural stability and durability. The "V"-shaped groove on the front side matches the feeding portion, ensuring a secure fit and guiding the food along a pre-set path for precise feeding and optimized portion size and feeding results.

[0008] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the rear side of the lower bowl. This handle provides parents with a point of leverage to grip the food bowl, making it easier for them to pick up and operate, improving the ease and stability of holding the bowl during feeding, and reducing the risk of food spillage or burns to infants due to the bowl slipping.

[0009] Furthermore, the handle includes an outer handle that is integrally molded with the drainage section and the bowl rim. The integral molding of the outer handle with the drainage section and the bowl rim simplifies the connection between components, enhances the structural integrity between the upper bowl and the handle, and improves the overall strength. At the same time, the outer handle, together with the subsequent inner handle, provides support for gripping from different dimensions, optimizes the gripping feel and ease of operation, and makes it more convenient and effortless for parents to hold the handle.

[0010] Furthermore, the handle includes an inner handle that is integrally molded with the lower bowl body. The inner handle is integrally molded with the lower bowl body, and the strength of the rigid material of the lower bowl body ensures the structural stability of the handle and makes it less prone to deformation and damage. The inner handle and the outer handle work together to form a complete handle structure, providing force points for gripping from both the inside and outside, improving the stability and comfort of the grip, and making feeding operations easier.

[0011] Furthermore, a grinding zone is provided on the inner surface of the bottom of the lower bowl. This grinding zone allows for the direct grinding of lumpy or granular complementary foods, transforming them into a fine texture suitable for infants' swallowing. This eliminates the need for additional grinding tools, simplifying the complementary food preparation process and improving the convenience and efficiency of feeding.

[0012] Furthermore, the baffle is designed to bulge outwards along the upper rear edge of the bowl. This bulging design effectively prevents food from spilling out, keeping the dining environment clean. Simultaneously, the bulge serves as a natural leveling reference; after scooping food with a spoon, parents can use the bulge to level the food in the spoon, precisely controlling the amount fed and achieving quantitative feeding, thus improving the accuracy and standardization of feeding procedures.

[0013] Furthermore, the grinding zone is equipped with several sets of raised strips. These strips enhance the grinding effect through compression and friction, making the complementary food more finely ground, meeting the processing needs of complementary foods with different textures, and improving feeding adaptability.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower bowl is made of PPSU material. PPSU material has properties such as high strength, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, ensuring the durability and safety of the bowl. At the same time, the material stability meets the standards for infant and toddler products, making it easy to clean and sterilize.

[0015] Furthermore, the drainage section includes a downward-concave drainage segment in the middle and transition segments on both sides of the drainage segment. The drainage segment extends outward while curving downward. The drainage section adopts a "drainage segment + transition segment" structure. The downward-concave drainage segment in the middle, combined with the outward extension and downward curving shape, can accurately guide the flow direction of complementary food, allowing the complementary food to flow smoothly out of the bowl. At the same time, the concave and curved structure can limit the flow of complementary food, achieving accurate measurement. The transition segments on both sides serve as a connection and transition, ensuring the compatibility and smoothness of the drainage section with the lower bowl and the overall structure, optimizing the measurement and drainage operation experience.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial results of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model utilizes a composite structure design of a rigid PPSU lower bowl and a silicone upper bowl. This design leverages the high strength of PPSU to ensure the bowl's structural durability while the softness of silicone cushions the risk of injury to infants and toddlers. In particular, the upper bowl surrounds the upper edge of the lower bowl, forming a continuous protective band. Compared to traditional designs that only use soft material at the mouth area, this extends the safe contact area from a single region to the entire upper edge, effectively avoiding the risk of scratches from hard edges and significantly improving product safety.

[0018] 2. This utility model features a grinding zone and raised strip structure on the inner surface of the bottom of the lower bowl, which can directly grind blocky complementary food into a fine state without the need for additional tools, simplifying the feeding process. The drainage section adopts a design that combines an arc-shaped drainage section and a transition section, and works in conjunction with the "V"-shaped groove on the front side of the lower bowl to precisely limit the flow path and flow rate of complementary food, realizing the function of quantitative feeding. The outer raised structure of the baffle serves as both an anti-overflow barrier and a leveling benchmark for the spoon, allowing parents to accurately control the amount of food fed at one time, completely solving the pain point of repeatedly scraping off excess complementary food with traditional bowls.

[0019] 3. This utility model utilizes an integrated molding process for the outer handle, baffle, and drainage part. Combined with a serrated structure around the upper edge of the lower bowl to enhance the bonding strength between the silicone components and the rigid substrate, and further integrated with the inner handle, it forms a dual-support grip system. This not only significantly improves the overall structural strength of the product but also optimizes the grip feel and operational stability. Compared to traditional spliced ​​structures, this design offers superior drop resistance and component connection reliability, effectively extending product lifespan and comprehensively enhancing the user's feeding experience.

It should be understood that other embodiments may be utilized or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.

[0027] This utility model proposes a baby food bowl, with reference to... Figures 1-2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2The figures show a perspective view and an exploded view of a baby food bowl according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the baby food bowl includes a lower bowl body 100 made of a hard material and an upper bowl body 200 made of silicone. The upper bowl body 200 surrounds the upper edge of the lower bowl body 100 and includes an integrally formed drainage portion 201 and a bowl mouth portion 202. The drainage portion 201 is located at the front upper edge of the lower bowl body 100. The lower bowl body 100 serves as a basic supporting component, and its bottom inner surface is provided with a grinding area 102 for grinding baby food. The upper bowl body 200 is made of silicone, which can prevent infants from being injured by bumping into hard components, effectively improving safety during use.

[0028] In some specific embodiments, the upper bowl 200 also includes a baffle 400, which is disposed on the upper rear edge of the bowl rim 202. Preferably, the baffle 400 is convex outward along the upper rear edge of the bowl rim 202. The baffle 400 fits the upper rear edge of the bowl rim 202, assisting in preventing spillage while also leveling the scooped food, avoiding situations where infants cannot swallow all the food at once due to excessive scooping, thus achieving precise quantification and optimizing the experience of complementary food feeding in terms of safety, quantity, and functionality.

[0029] In some specific embodiments, further combined Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the drainage section 201, the bowl opening 202, and the baffle 400 are made of silicone, providing softness and safety. The drainage section 201 is located on the upper front edge of the lower bowl 100. Its structure includes a drainage section 2011 that is recessed downwards in the middle and transition sections 2012 on both sides. The drainage section 2011 extends outwards and has a downward arc-shaped curve, which is adapted to the amount of complementary food to be taken and the drainage needs. The baffle 400 is arranged in a convex shape along the upper rear edge of the lower bowl 100. In actual use, this convex structure can be used as a leveling reference. When parents use a spoon to scoop complementary food, they can use the convexity of the baffle 400 to level the complementary food in the spoon, which can accurately control the amount of food fed at one time and achieve the effect of quantitative operation. This can prevent the situation where the infant cannot swallow the complementary food completely at one time due to excessive scooping of complementary food.

[0030] In some specific embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3A structural diagram of a bowl body according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown, the lower bowl body 100 is made of hard materials such as polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), possessing good structural strength and stability, providing a reliable foundation for the food bowl. A grinding area 102 is provided on the inner surface of the bottom of the lower bowl body 100, with several sets of raised strips 1021 distributed within it, allowing for grinding of the food to meet the fineness requirements of infant food. A "V"-shaped groove 101 is provided on the front side of the lower bowl body 100 to fit the drainage part 201, ensuring the assembly and precise drainage function of the drainage part 201. A serrated structure 103 is provided in the middle of the upper edge of the lower bowl body 100. This serrated structure 103 facilitates a tight bond between the hard material and the silicone material during the silicone injection molding process of the upper bowl body 200, effectively preventing parts from falling off and improving product lifespan and drop resistance.

[0031] Further reference Figure 2 , Figure 4a and Figure 4b , Figure 4a and Figure 4b A top view and a cross-sectional view along the AA direction of a feeding bowl according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown. As shown, the upper bowl body 200 covers the upper edge area of ​​the lower bowl body 100 and is manufactured using an integral molding process with the baffle 400 and the outer handle 301. This integral molding method enhances the stability of the connection between components and improves the overall structural strength of the product. A handle 300 is provided on the rear side of the lower bowl body 100. The handle includes an outer handle 301 integrally molded with the upper bowl body 200 and an inner handle 104 integrally molded with the lower bowl body 100. The inner and outer handles cooperate to form a complete handle structure. When parents hold the bowl, the inner and outer handles work together to provide sufficient force points and support for the gripping operation, ensuring ease of gripping and further strengthening the overall structural integrity of the feeding bowl, making feeding operations more convenient and stable.

[0032] When in use, the raised strips 1021 of the grinding area 102 inside the lower bowl 100 grind lumps and granules into a fine state through squeezing and friction, which is suitable for the swallowing needs of infants and young children. The arc-shaped bend and concave structure of the drainage section 2011, combined with the connecting guide of the transition section 2012, precisely limits the flow path of the complementary food and guides it to flow out in a preset direction, making it convenient for parents to feed. The outward protrusion design of the baffle 400 serves as a leveling benchmark, helping parents to accurately control the amount of complementary food when scooping it with a spoon. At the same time, the silicone upper bowl 200, the hard lower bowl 100 and the handle work together to ensure structural strength with hard components and cushioning protection to prevent infants and young children from being bumped and injured. This achieves a multi-functional complementary food feeding operation that is safe, accurate in dispensing and grinding.
