Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chopsticks, and particularly relates to antibacterial bamboo chopsticks. Background Art

[0002] Bamboo chopsticks are a common tableware, mainly used for picking up food. They are long and thin sticks used to pick up food or other things, mainly made of bamboo. Bamboo is a fast-growing plant that can mature in a short time, so it is considered a sustainable resource. This makes bamboo chopsticks more environmentally conscious than chopsticks made of materials such as wood or plastic, and bamboo has strong durability and certain antibacterial properties. But it is worth noting that although bamboo chopsticks have many advantages, their antibacterial properties are still not as good as metal chopsticks. If they are not properly cleaned and maintained, they will also produce mold and bacteria accumulation.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN219306456U discloses an antibacterial bamboo chopstick. The device is assembled and used by sleeveing ​​a bamboo tube on the outer wall of a metal sleeve, and a connecting sleeve is provided on the top of the bamboo tube. Holes are provided on the connecting sleeve and the outer wall of the metal sleeve to facilitate the discharge of cleaning liquid inside the chopsticks after cleaning, making it easier to keep the chopsticks dry and reducing the growth rate of bacteria.

[0004] However, since the heads of the cleaned chopsticks are directly exposed to the air when placed, and there is residual moisture on the surface when cleaning, bacteria and impurities in the air can easily adhere to the heads of the chopsticks, thereby reducing the hygiene of the chopsticks during subsequent use.

[0005] In summary, there is a need for bamboo chopsticks that can improve their antibacterial properties by reducing the exposure time of chopsticks. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to provide antibacterial bamboo chopsticks, which can prevent the chopstick heads from directly contacting with bacteria and impurities in the air by pressing the chopstick heads to move them into a storage cavity, thereby ensuring the hygiene of the chopsticks during subsequent use.

[0007] The utility model solves the above problems by adopting a technical solution: an antibacterial bamboo chopstick, comprising:

[0008] A chopstick body, wherein a storage cavity is disposed in the chopstick body, and a chopstick head is disposed in the storage cavity;

[0009] A storage assembly, the storage assembly comprising a magnet block fixedly connected to the end of the chopstick head, a first magnet ring and a second magnet ring fixedly connected to the interior of the storage cavity, and a first spring sleeved on the exterior of the chopstick head;

[0010] An active cavity is opened inside one end of the chopstick body, a push rod is arranged inside the active cavity and one end of the push rod extends to the inside of the storage cavity, the other end of the push rod is fixedly connected to a cylindrical pressure block and the cylindrical pressure block extends to the outside of the chopstick body, and a second spring is sleeved on the outside of the push rod.

[0011] Among them, the purpose of the antibacterial bamboo chopsticks is to allow the chopstick heads to be stored and ejected through a built-in mechanism to ensure the hygiene of the chopsticks and provide convenience during use. The chopstick body is the main part of the bamboo chopsticks, and the storage cavity is set inside the chopstick body. The storage cavity is an internal space for storing the chopstick heads. This design allows the chopstick heads to be completely stored in the chopstick body when not in use, which helps to protect the chopstick heads from contamination.

[0012] The chopstick head is the part used to pick up food, and the magnet block fixedly connected to the end of the chopstick head is used to interact with the magnet ring in the storage cavity to help fix or release the chopstick head. The two magnet rings are respectively fixed inside the storage cavity, and interact with the magnet block at the end of the chopstick head to play an attractive or repulsive role, helping the chopstick head to move in the storage cavity. The first spring sleeve is arranged on the outside of the chopstick head to provide elastic force to help the chopstick head pop out when it is needed.

[0013] A further preferred technical solution is that the diameters of the magnet block, the first magnet ring and the second magnet ring are consistent with the diameter of the storage cavity.

[0014] Among them, the consistent diameter of the magnet block and the magnet ring ensures that they can be precisely aligned during the storage and ejection process of the chopsticks, so that the interaction between the magnets (attraction or repulsion) will be more stable and effective, and the weight and mass of the chopsticks will be more evenly distributed, thereby improving the sense of balance during use.

[0015] A further preferred technical solution is that the magnetic pole directions of the opposing surfaces of the magnet block and the first magnet ring are arranged in opposite directions.

[0016] A further preferred technical solution is that the magnetic pole directions of the opposing surfaces of the magnet block and the second magnet ring are arranged in opposite directions.

[0017] The "oppositely arranged" magnetic pole directions mean that the magnetic poles on the opposite sides of the magnet block and the first magnet ring, and the magnet block and the second magnet ring are designed to have mutually repelling polarities. In a magnet, magnetic poles with the same name (i.e. two north poles or two south poles) will repel each other, while magnetic poles with different names will attract each other. For example, if the side of the magnet block facing the first magnet ring is the north pole, then the side of the first magnet ring facing the magnet block should be the south pole, so as to ensure that the two will attract each other, which helps to stably fix the chopstick head in the storage cavity when not in use.

[0018] A further preferred technical solution is that the diameter of the ring hole of the first magnet ring is larger than the diameter of the push rod.

[0019] The diameter of the ring hole of the first magnet ring is set larger than the diameter of the push rod. This design ensures that the push rod can move freely in the first magnet ring without being disturbed by friction. In the actual production process, there may be slight errors in the size of the parts. Setting a certain size difference can reduce the impact of these production errors and ensure flexibility and smoothness of assembly. At the same time, this also helps during the operation of the push rod, even if the push rod and the magnet ring are not perfectly aligned, it will not affect its function.

[0020] A further preferred technical solution is that the diameter of the ring hole of the second magnet ring is larger than the diameter of the first spring.

[0021] A further preferred technical solution is that the diameter of the push rod is smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical pressing block.

[0022] A further preferred technical solution is that the length of the storage cavity is greater than the length of the chopstick heads.

[0023] A further preferred technical solution is that two ends of the first spring are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage cavity and the magnet block respectively.

[0024] A further preferred technical solution is that two ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the active cavity and the cylindrical pressure block respectively.

[0025] In summary, the utility model has the following benefits:

[0026] 1. After cleaning, the utility model presses the chopstick heads to move them into the storage cavity, thereby preventing the chopstick heads from directly contacting bacteria and impurities in the air, thereby ensuring the hygiene of the chopsticks during subsequent use;

[0027] 2. The utility model ensures the stability of the chopstick heads when they are stored in the storage cavity through the adsorption effect between the magnet block and the first magnet ring, so that they will not pop out easily;

[0028] 3. During the cleaning process, the utility model repeatedly presses the chopstick head vertically upwards at a small distance, so that the first spring can be stretched. When the chopstick head is released, the rebound effect of the first spring can automatically drive the chopstick head to reset. The vibration generated by such repeated operations can shake off excess moisture on the surface of the chopstick head, thereby further preventing the growth of bacteria.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0035] Example:

[0036] Please combine Figure 1-3 The antibacterial bamboo chopsticks of this embodiment include:

[0037] A chopstick body 1, a storage cavity 2 is provided inside the chopstick body 1, and a chopstick head 3 is provided inside the storage cavity 2;

[0038] The storage assembly includes a magnet block 101 fixedly connected to the end of the chopstick head 3, a first magnet ring 102 and a second magnet ring 103 are fixedly connected to the inside of the storage cavity 2, and a first spring 104 is sleeved on the outside of the chopstick head 3. The diameters of the magnet block 101, the first magnet ring 102 and the second magnet ring 103 are consistent with the diameter of the storage cavity 2. The magnetic pole directions of the opposite surfaces of the magnet block 101 and the first magnet ring 102 are set in opposite directions. Through the adsorption effect of the magnet block 101 and the first magnet ring 102, it is easy to ensure The stability of the chopstick head 3 after it is fully stored is prevented from automatically popping out. The magnetic pole directions of the opposite surfaces of the magnet block 101 and the second magnet ring 103 are set in opposite directions. Through the adsorption effect of the magnet block 101 and the second magnet ring 103, it is easy to ensure the stability of the chopstick head 3 when it is fully extended and used, and prevent it from retracting. The diameter of the ring hole of the second magnet ring 103 is larger than the diameter of the first spring 104, which ensures the smooth popping out of the chopstick head 3. The two ends of the first spring 104 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage cavity 2 and the magnet block 101 respectively;

[0039] The movable cavity 4 is opened inside one end of the chopstick body 1, a push rod 5 is arranged inside the movable cavity 4 and one end of the push rod 5 extends to the inside of the storage cavity 2, the other end of the push rod 5 is fixedly connected with a cylindrical pressure block 6 and the cylindrical pressure block 6 extends to the outside of the chopstick body 1, a second spring 7 is sleeved on the outside of the push rod 5, the diameter of the ring hole of the first magnet ring 102 is larger than the diameter of the push rod 5, so that the push rod 5 can push the magnet block 101 to separate from the first magnet ring 102, thereby realizing the automatic extension of the chopstick head 3, the diameter of the push rod 5 is smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical pressure block 6, and the two ends of the second spring 7 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable cavity 4 and the cylindrical pressure block 6 respectively.

[0040] The implementation principle of the antibacterial bamboo chopsticks in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: during the cleaning process, the chopstick head 3 is repeatedly pressed vertically upward at a small distance, so that the chopstick head 3 moves into the storage cavity 2. The movement of the chopstick head 3 can drive the first spring 104 to stretch. When the chopstick head 3 is released, the rebound effect of the first spring 104 can automatically drive the chopstick head 3 to reset. The vibration generated by such repeated operations can shake off excess moisture on the surface of the chopstick head 3. After cleaning, the chopstick head 3 is pressed to make it completely move into the storage cavity 2, thereby preventing the chopstick head 3 from directly contacting bacterial impurities in the air, thereby ensuring the hygiene of the chopsticks during subsequent use. The magnet block 101 and the first magnet ring 102 are adsorbed to ensure the stability of the chopstick head 3 when it is stored in the storage cavity 2, so that it will not pop out easily. When the chopsticks need to be used, the cylindrical pressure block 6 is pressed to drive the push rod 5 to push the magnet block 101. At this time, the magnet block 101 will be separated from the first magnet ring 102. The chopstick head 3 will automatically pop out by the rebound effect of the first spring 104. The adsorption effect of the magnet block 101 and the second magnet ring 103 ensures the stability of the chopstick head 3 when it is fully extended. At the same time, the cylindrical pressure block 6 will automatically reset by the rebound effect of the second spring 7.

[0041] In addition, a further improvement is that the length of the storage cavity 2 is greater than the length of the chopstick head 3, thereby ensuring that the chopstick head 3 can be completely stored.
