Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a scooping spoon, and more particularly to a split-type heated scooping spoon comprising a spoon head and a handle, wherein the spoon head is detachably mounted on the handle and a heating unit is disposed therein. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, products such as ice cream and butter, as semi-solid frozen products, have always been widely loved. Taking ice cream as an example, it can be eaten directly as a dessert, or it can be added to food ingredients as a topping.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, in practice, ice cream products are usually sold in container 1. After purchasing the ice cream, people only need to place container 1 directly in the refrigerator to store the ice cream. The storage method is simple and the shelf life is relatively long.

[0004] When you want to eat or use ice cream, simply use the ice cream scoop 2 to scoop the ice cream 3 from the container 1 and you can eat or use it.

[0005] However, the above method of using an ice cream scoop 2 to scoop ice cream 3 still has many inconveniences in practical applications, as described below.

[0006] Firstly, since ice cream products are stored frozen in refrigerators, the ice cream 3 in container 1 is generally quite hard.

[0007] When a user uses an ice cream scoop 2 to scoop ice cream 3, they generally need to apply a lot of force to complete the scooping action.

[0008] Especially when the user is an elderly person or a child, due to the user's limited strength, the scooping action often cannot be carried out smoothly, which is the main drawback of the traditional ice cream scoop.

[0009] Secondly, since traditional ice cream scoops 2 all adopt an integrated design, that is, the scoop head 4 of traditional ice cream scoops 2 is fixedly connected to the handle 5, the overall length of traditional ice cream scoops 2 is relatively long and the volume is also relatively large. Therefore, traditional ice cream scoops 2 are not easy to clean, especially not easy to place in dishwashers or similar cleaning equipment for cleaning. This is another disadvantage of traditional ice cream scoops 2. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: a split-type heated scoop, including a scoop head (100) and a handle (200), wherein the scoop head (100) is detachably disposed on the handle (200), the scoop head (100) has a scoop head digging edge (110), a scoop cavity (120) and a scoop head inner cavity (130), wherein the scoop head digging edge (110) is arranged around the scoop cavity (120), the scoop head inner cavity (130) is located in the scoop head (100), and a heating unit (300) is sealed in the scoop head inner cavity (130), the heating unit (300) can generate heat (H), and the heat (H) can be conducted to the scoop head digging edge (110).

[0011] A split-type heated scoop includes a scoop head (100) and a handle (200). The scoop head (100) is detachably mounted on the handle (200). The scoop head (100) has a scoop head digging edge (110), a scoop cavity (120), and a scoop head inner cavity (130). The scoop head digging edge (110) is arranged around the scoop cavity (120). The scoop head inner cavity (130) is located in the scoop head (100). A heating unit (300) is sealed in the scoop head inner cavity (130). The heating unit (300) can generate heat (H), which can be conducted to the scoop head (100).

[0012] When the scoop (100) scoops the ice cream (C), the heat (H) on the scoop (100) melts the ice cream (C) that the scoop (100) contacts, so that the scoop (100) can dig into the ice cream (C). After the digging action is completed, the ice cream (C1) is scooped out and located in the scoop cavity (120).

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by setting the heating unit in the spoon head, the present invention enables the spoon head to heat up, thereby melting the ice cream in contact with the spoon head when the spoon head scoops into the ice cream, and ultimately achieving the effect of scooping out the ice cream with a small digging force.

[0014] In addition, the heating unit of the present invention is sealed in the spoon head, so that the heating unit will not come into contact with the ice cream, and at the same time, the spoon head can be easily disassembled and cleaned separately. Attached Figure Description

[0031] like Figures 2 to 16 As shown, especially as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, a split-type heated scoop includes a scoop head (100) and a handle (200), wherein the scoop head (100) is detachably mounted on the handle (200).

[0032] When the scoop (100) is attached to the handle (200), the user holds the handle (200) and uses the scoop (100) to scoop ice cream, butter or other items from the container.

[0033] When the spoon head (100) is separated from the handle (200), the spoon head (100) can be cleaned separately, and in particular, the spoon head (100) can be placed separately in a cleaning device for separate cleaning, such as placing the spoon head (100) separately in a dishwasher for separate cleaning.

[0034] The spoon head (100) has a digging edge (110), a spoon cavity (120) and a spoon inner cavity (130), wherein the digging edge (110) is arranged around the spoon cavity (120) and the spoon inner cavity (130) is located in the spoon head (100).

[0035] The heating unit (300) is sealed in the inner cavity (130) of the spoon head. The heating unit (300) can generate heat (H), which can be conducted to the digging edge (110) of the spoon head.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, when in use, the heat (H) is generated by the heating unit (300), and then the heat (H) is conducted to the digging edge (110) of the spoon head.

[0037] When the scoop (100) scoops the ice cream (C), the heat (H) at the scooping edge (110) melts the ice cream (C) that the scooping edge (110) contacts, thus allowing the scoop (100) to smoothly scoop into the ice cream (C).

[0038] After the digging action is completed, the ice cream (C1) is scooped out into the scoop cavity (120) for easy use.

[0039] The main design concept of this invention is to enable the scoop (100) to heat up by setting the heating unit (300) in the scoop (100), so that when the scoop (100) digs into the ice cream (C), the ice cream in contact with the scoop (100) can be melted, and finally the purpose of digging out the ice cream (C1) can be achieved with a small digging force.

[0040] It should be emphasized that the heating unit (300) of the present invention is sealed in the spoon head (100) so that the heating unit (300) will not come into contact with the ice cream (C), and at the same time, the spoon head (100) can be easily cleaned.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, in a specific implementation, the heating unit (300) includes a heating element (310) and an inner liner (320), wherein the heating element (310) is disposed on the inner liner (320).

[0042] The inner lining plate (320) is inserted into the inner cavity (130) of the spoon head, and the heating element (310) is pressed onto the inner surface (131) of the inner cavity (130) of the spoon head.

[0043] The heating element (310) can generate the heat (H). Since the heating element (310) is pressed on the inner surface (131) of the inner cavity (130) of the spoon head, the heat (H) can be directly conducted to the spoon head (100).

[0044] Since the heating element (310) is located on the inner liner plate (320), the heating element (310) can be easily inserted and assembled into the spoon head (100) through the inner liner plate (320).

[0045] like Figure 8 As shown, in a specific implementation, the handle (200) includes a battery unit (210) and a battery contact (220). The battery unit (210) is disposed in the handle (200), and the battery contact (220) is disposed at the end of the handle (200). The battery unit (210) is connected to the battery contact (220).

[0046] like Figures 7 to 11 As shown, the heating unit (300) also includes a sealing connector (330), which includes a sealing disc (331), an inner terminal (332) and an outer terminal (333), wherein the inner terminal (332) and the outer terminal (333) are respectively disposed on both sides of the sealing disc (331).

[0047] The sealing disc (331) is sealed in the port (140) of the spoon head (100).

[0048] In practical implementation, a silicone or rubber sealing ring can be provided around the sealing disc (331) so that the sealing disc (331) can be sealed in the port (140). In practice, other sealing methods can also be used to seal the sealing disc (331) in the port (140), which are existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0049] The inner terminal (332) is connected to the heating element (310) of the heating unit (300), and the outer terminal (333) is detachably connected to the battery contact (220) of the handle (200).

[0050] When the spoon head (100) is placed on the handle (200), the external terminal (333) is connected to the battery contact (220), and the battery unit (210) provides power to the heating element (310), which converts electrical energy into heat energy and generates heat (H).

[0051] In practice, the handle (200) is equipped with a switch (230), which is connected to the battery unit (210) and controls the working state of the battery unit (210).

[0052] The handle (200) can also be equipped with a display screen, which is used to display the working status and heating temperature of the split-type heating spatula.

[0053] like Figure 11 As shown, in a specific implementation, the inner lining plate (320) includes an arc plate (321) and a plug-in block (322), wherein the plug-in block (322) is connected to the bottom of the arc plate (321), and the heating element (310) is attached to the arc plate (321).

[0054] The plug-in block (322) is inserted into the port (140) of the spoon head (100).

[0055] The bottom of the plug block (322) is provided with a notch (323), and the heating element terminal (311) at the bottom of the heating element (310) is electrically connected to the inner terminal (332) of the sealed connector (330) at the notch (323).

[0056] In practice, the inner terminal (332) is electrically connected to the heating element (310) by a solder wire.

[0057] In a specific implementation, the heating unit (300) also includes a temperature sensor (340), which is disposed on the heating element (310).

[0058] like Figure 12 As shown, in specific implementation, the heating element (310) is semi-circular arc-shaped. The heating element (310) is wrapped around the front end of the inner liner plate (320). The heating element (310) is pressed on the inner surface (131) of the inner cavity (130) of the spoon head. At the same time, the heating element (310) corresponds to the digging edge (110) of the spoon head (100).

[0059] The structure described above enables the heat (H) generated by the heating element (310) to be directly and quickly conducted to the digging edge (110) of the scoop head, thereby improving digging efficiency.

[0060] like Figure 13 As shown, in a specific implementation, the spoon head (100) includes an insulating shell (151) and a heat-conducting edge cap (152), wherein the heat-conducting edge cap (152) covers the insulating shell (151).

[0061] The scooping edge (110) is located on the heat-conducting edge cap (152), the heating element (310) is wrapped around the front end of the inner liner (320), and the heating element (310) is pressed onto the inner surface of the heat-conducting edge cap (152).

[0062] The thermally conductive edge cap (152) can be made of stainless steel, and the thermal insulation shell (151) can be made of materials such as plastic, silicone, and rubber.

[0063] The structure described above enables most of the heat (H) generated by the heating element (310) to be conducted to the heat-conducting edge cap (152), which can significantly increase the temperature difference between the heat insulation shell (151) and the heat-conducting edge cap (152). This improves the digging efficiency while preventing the scooped ice cream (C1) in the spoon cavity (120) from melting.

[0064] In practice, there are various ways and structures to achieve the function of detachably mounting the spoon head (100) on the handle (200), which are described in detail below.

[0065] like Figure 14 As shown, structure one is a snap-fit ​​connection. A spring-loaded key (240) is provided at the end of the handle (200), and a slot (114) is provided at the bottom of the spoon head (100). The spring-loaded key (240) corresponds to the slot (114). When the spring-loaded key (240) is snapped into the slot (114), the spoon head (100) is connected to the handle (200).

[0066] In practice, the elastic button (241) is provided at the bottom of the elastic key (240). The elastic button (241) is embedded in the handle (200). Pressing the elastic button (241) unlocks the locking relationship between the elastic key (240) and the slot (114).

[0067] like Figure 15 As shown, structure two is a threaded connection. An external thread (250) is provided at the end of the handle (200), and an internal thread (115) is provided at the bottom of the spoon head (100). The external thread (250) corresponds to the internal thread (115). When the internal thread (115) is screwed into the external thread (250), the spoon head (100) is connected to the handle (200).

[0068] like Figure 16 As shown, structure three is a magnetic connection. A first magnetic body (260) is provided at the end of the handle (200), and a second magnetic body (116) is provided at the bottom of the spoon head (100). The first magnetic body (260) and the second magnetic body (116) correspond to each other. When the first magnetic body (260) is magnetically attracted to the second magnetic body (116), the spoon head (100) is connected to the handle (200).

[0069] It is worth noting that, in practice, one of the handles (200) of the present invention can be matched with multiple spoon heads (100) of different sizes.

[0070] For example, the products of the present invention can be sold in sets, including one handle (200) and a one-ounce capacity spoon (100), a two-ounce capacity spoon (100), a three-ounce capacity spoon (100), etc.
