[0026] Furthermore, the connection structure of this application, through the venting groove provided on the connector head, can prevent gaps from forming in the assembled chopsticks due to the large pressure difference between the air pressure inside the assembly groove and the atmospheric pressure during assembly, thus preventing them from falling off and improving the firmness of the splicing.

[0027] Furthermore, the assembly method of the connection structure in this application adds an adhesive, which can further improve the firmness of the splicing. The venting groove can also be used to store the reserved adhesive to increase the bonding surface of the adhesive, thereby improving the reliability and firmness of the splicing connection.

[0028] In addition, by setting inserts in the injection mold of this application, the edges of the segments of the spliced ​​chopsticks manufactured by the injection mold can be sharp corners instead of rounded corners, thereby making the overlap between the segments of the spliced ​​chopsticks higher and reducing the generation of gaps.

[0043] The technical solution of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a spliced ​​chopstick 1 according to an embodiment of this application. A spliced ​​chopstick 1 includes a connecting structure 300 and a chopstick tip 100.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 This is an exploded view of a spliced ​​chopstick 1 according to an embodiment of this application. A spliced ​​chopstick 1 includes a connecting structure 300 and chopstick tips 100. The connecting structure 300 includes a fixing member 310 and a connecting member 320. The fixing member 310 is provided with an assembly groove 313, and the connecting member 320 is provided with a connector 323 that mates with the assembly groove 313. The connecting structure 300 forms a connection and fixation between the fixing member 310 and the connecting member 320 by inserting the connector 323 into the assembly groove 313.

[0046] The chopstick tip 100 is connected to the connector 320 or the fixing member 310 by means of snap-fit, tenon joint, etc., or the chopstick tip 100 and the connector 320 or the fixing member 310 are integrally formed. When the chopstick tip 100 is provided on the connector 320, the connector 320 can be called the chopstick body and the fixing member 310 can be called the chopstick head; when the chopstick tip 100 is provided on the fixing member 310, the fixing member 310 can be called the chopstick body and the connector 320 can be called the chopstick head. In this embodiment, the chopstick tip 100 is provided on the fixing member 310, and the chopstick tip 100 and the fixing member 310 can be integrally formed.

[0047] The connector 320 and the fastener 310 can be made of materials such as plastic, pure metal, or alloy, and the materials of the connector 320 and the fastener 310 can be the same or different. For example, both the connector 320 and the fastener 310 can be metal parts, or both the connector 320 and the fastener 310 can be plastic parts, with one being a metal part and the other a plastic part.

[0048] In this embodiment, the splicing chopsticks 1 can be connected together by setting a connecting structure 300, and the connecting structure 300 adopts a tenon joint structure, which is easy to process and has a firm connection.

[0049] In one embodiment, the connection structure 300 further includes an adhesive disposed between the connector 323 and the assembly groove 313. Therefore, by adding an adhesive, the strength of the joint can be further improved. The adhesive can be an organic or inorganic glue.

[0050] The spliced ​​chopsticks 1 also includes a hanging part 200, which is disposed on the connector 320 or the fixing part 310. In this embodiment, the hanging part 200 is disposed on the connector 320, that is, the hanging part 200 is disposed on the chopstick tip.

[0051] The spliced ​​chopsticks 1 also include stripes 111, which are provided on the connector 320, the fixing member 310, or the chopstick tip 100. The stripes 111 are multiple evenly distributed strip-shaped grooves, which not only enhance the aesthetic value but also improve the friction. In this embodiment, the stripes 111 are provided on the fixing member 310, that is, the stripes 111 are provided on the chopstick body.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of a fastener 310 according to an embodiment of this application. The fastener 310 has a first splicing surface 311 and a first edge line 312 provided on the first splicing surface 311. An assembly groove 313 is provided on the first splicing surface 311, and a draft hole 314 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the assembly groove 313. The draft hole 314 is used to allow the fastener 310 to be easily demolded during the manufacturing process of the fastener 310.

[0053] During operation, the fastener 310 and the connector 320 (please refer to...) Figure 2 During assembly without adhesive, the presence of the draft hole 314 compresses some air into the assembly groove 313 and the draft hole 314, creating a pressure difference between the inside of the fastener 310 and the outside. This pressure difference pushes the connector 323 away from the draft hole 314, resulting in an excessive gap between the fastener 310 and the connector 320, and even a risk of detachment.

[0054] During the assembly of the fastener 310 and connector 320 using adhesive, the presence of the draft hole 314 compresses some air into the assembly groove 313 and the draft hole 314, creating a pressure difference between the inside of the fastener 310 and the outside. When the adhesive weakens or fails due to incomplete curing, increased temperature, or normal aging, the pressure difference forces the connector 323 out of the assembly groove 313, resulting in a gap between the fastener 310 and the connector 320.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 4This is an exploded view of a spliced ​​chopstick 1 according to an embodiment of this application. The connector 320 has a second splicing surface 321 and a second edge line 322 provided on the second splicing surface 321. A connector head 323 that mates with the assembly groove 313 is protruding on the second splicing surface 321.

[0056] In this embodiment, the connector 323 is provided with an exhaust groove 324 on its side. One end of the exhaust groove 324 penetrates the end face of the connector 323, and the other end is spaced apart from the second splicing surface 321. That is, one end of the connector 323 is connected to the second splicing surface 321, and the other end is penetrated by the exhaust groove 324.

[0057] In another embodiment, the connector 323 has a venting groove 324 on its side. One end of the venting groove 324 penetrates the end face of the connector 323, and the other end extends to the second splicing surface 321. That is, both ends of the connector 323 are penetrated by the venting groove 324, and one end of the connector 323 is connected to the second splicing surface 321.

[0058] The adhesive is applied to the inner surfaces of the first splicing surface 311, the second splicing surface 321, the assembly groove 313, and / or the outer surface of the connector 323. Before assembly, the adhesive can be applied to any one or more of the following surfaces: the inner bottom surface of the first splicing surface 311, the second splicing surface 321, the assembly groove 313, and the outer surface of the connector 323 (excluding the vent groove 324). The adhesive is not applied to the vent groove 324 to avoid obstructing venting. After assembly, once the vent groove 324 has vented, the adhesive can enter the assembly groove 313 due to the compression between the connector 323 and the assembly groove 313, increasing the adhesive's bonding surface area.

[0059] During the operation, the connector 323 is inserted into the assembly groove 313 and moves inward. Since the vent groove 324, the assembly groove 313 and the draft hole 314 are connected, the gas in the draft hole 314 and the assembly groove 313 is discharged from the vent, which reduces the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the fastener 310. The connector 323 continues to move until it reaches the first preset position (i.e., the bottom end of the assembly groove 313). At this time, the fastener 310 and the connector 320 are assembled. The first splicing surface 311 and the second splicing surface 321 coincide, and the first edge line 312 coincides with the second edge line 322, which can produce the effect of "seamless assembly".

[0060] Therefore, the venting groove 324 in this embodiment can reduce or avoid gaps caused by air pressure difference. In addition, during the assembly process using adhesive, the venting groove 324 can also be used to store the reserved adhesive to increase the bonding surface (contact area) of the adhesive, thereby improving the reliability and firmness of the splicing connection.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 5This is an exploded view of a spliced ​​chopstick 1 according to an embodiment of this application. The axis of the assembly groove 313 is perpendicular to the first splicing surface 311, and the axis of the connector 323 is perpendicular to the second splicing surface 321. The axis of the assembly groove 313 coincides with the axis of the fastener 310, and the axis of the connector 323 coincides with the axis of the connector 320. This arrangement allows the fixing between the connector 323 and the assembly groove 313 to provide better support for the body of the connector 320 and the fastener 310, thereby improving the connection reliability and robustness of the connection structure 300.

[0062] The length direction of the vent groove 324 is aligned with the axial direction of the connector 323. This arrangement ensures that the length direction of the vent groove 324 is the same as the direction of movement of the connector 323 when it is inserted into the assembly slot 313. This extends the venting time of the vent groove 324 during the assembly of the fastener 310 and the connector 320, reduces the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the fastener 310, and improves the reliability and robustness of the connection structure 300.

[0063] A draft groove 315 is provided on the first splicing surface 311 and on the inner wall of the assembly groove 313; a draft protrusion 325 is provided on the second splicing surface 321 and on the outer wall of the connector 323; when the connector 323 moves to the first preset position, the draft protrusion 325 matches the draft groove 315. Since the draft protrusion 325 abuts against the inner bottom surface of the draft groove 315, the connection reliability and firmness of the connection structure 300 can be improved.

[0064] The connector 323 has a draft chamfer 326 on the end away from the second splicing surface 321. When the connector 323 moves to the first preset position, the draft chamfer 326 matches the draft hole 314. Since the draft chamfer 326 abuts against the inner wall of the draft hole 314, the connection reliability and firmness of the connection structure 300 can be improved.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating an assembly method for a connection structure 300 according to an embodiment of this application. This method can be used in, for example... Figures 1 to 5 The connection structure 300 is shown. The assembly method of the connection structure 300 may include the following steps:

[0066] Step S101: Apply adhesive to the inner surface of the first splicing surface 311, the second splicing surface 321, the inner surface of the assembly groove 313, the inner surface of the draft hole 314, and / or the outer surface of the connector 323 except for the venting groove 324.

[0067] In this step, adhesive can be applied to any one or more of the following surfaces: the first splicing surface 311, the second splicing surface 321, the inner bottom surface of the assembly groove 313, and the outer surface of the connector 323 (excluding the venting groove 324). The adhesive is not applied to the venting groove 324 in this step to avoid obstructing venting. The adhesive in this step can be glue.

[0068] Step S102: Insert the connector 323 into the assembly slot 313 and allow the venting slot 324 to vent until the first splicing surface 311 and the second splicing surface 321 overlap, and the first edge line 312 overlaps with the second edge line 322.

[0069] In this step, venting the venting groove 324 reduces the pressure difference between the air inside the assembly groove 313 and the atmosphere, preventing detachment and improving the strength of the joint. After the venting groove 324 is vented, the adhesive can enter the assembly groove 313 due to the squeezing action between the connector 323 and the assembly groove 313, increasing the bonding surface of the adhesive and improving the strength of the joint.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 7 This is an exploded view of an injection mold 4 according to an embodiment of this application. An injection mold 4 includes a first mold body 500, a first insert 550, a second mold body 600, and a second insert 650. The second mold body 600 is located above the first mold body 500. The first mold body 500 has a snap-fit ​​protrusion 560, and the second mold body 600 has a snap-fit ​​groove 660 that matches the snap-fit ​​protrusion 560. The first mold body 500 and the second mold body 600 are detachably connected together via the snap-fit ​​protrusion 560 and the snap-fit ​​groove 660. In this embodiment, both the first mold body 500 and the second mold body 600 are cuboids, and four snap-fit ​​protrusions 560 are provided, each located at one of the four corners.

The first insert 550 is detachably provided in the first insert groove 510. The first insert 550 is provided with at least one gate 552 and a first mating groove 551 that mates with the first molding groove 530.

[0072] When the first insert 550 is placed in the first insert groove 510, the first molding groove 530 is connected to the first docking groove 551, and the gate 552 can be used to supply molten plastic or other preforms.

[0073] The second mold body 600 is provided with a second insert groove 610, at least one first ejector pin hole 670 and at least one second molding groove 630. The second molding groove 630 communicates with the second insert groove 610 and has a second corner line 640 provided on the inner wall of the second insert groove 610. The second insert 650 is detachably provided in the second insert groove 610. The second insert 650 is provided with a second ejector pin hole 652 corresponding to the first ejector pin hole 670 and a second mating groove 651 that mates with the second molding groove 630.

[0074] When the second insert 650 is placed in the second insert groove 610, the second molding groove 630 is connected to the second mating groove 651, and the first ejector hole 670 is connected to the second ejector hole 652. The first ejector hole 670 and the second ejector hole 652 can be used for ejector demolding.

[0075] Multiple first forming grooves 530 are provided and arranged in an array. These first forming grooves 530 are arranged in two rows, symmetrically positioned on both sides of the first insert groove 510. Similarly, multiple second forming grooves 630 are provided and arranged in an array. These second forming grooves 630 are arranged in two rows, symmetrically positioned on both sides of the second insert groove 610. Therefore, this embodiment can produce multiple connectors 320 or fasteners 310 at once, improving production efficiency.

[0076] When the first mold body 500 and the second mold body 600 are connected together, a first molding groove 530 and a second molding groove 630 form a complete molding cavity, and a first corner line 540 and a second corner line 640 form a complete corner line.
