Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of disposable products, in particular to a degradable disposable fork. Background Art

[0002] As people's pace of life quickens, take-out fast food is becoming more and more popular. When taking out food, disposable bowls, chopsticks, knives and forks are usually needed to facilitate the person who ordered the food.

[0003] Existing disposable forks are usually made of petrochemical plastics. Therefore, after being discarded after use, they do not have a degradable effect and may cause environmental pollution. These plastic forks are often discarded in oceans, rivers, parks, streets and other places, posing a threat to wildlife and ecosystems. In addition, when producing disposable forks, most of them are directly molded from plastic, which are then stacked together for packaging. They do not have a splicing effect and thus occupy space. At the same time, most disposable forks are made of paper or plastic, which has poor strength. During use, the forked objects may be too hard and break. Therefore, a degradable disposable fork is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the utility model provides a degradable disposable fork, aiming to improve the problem that the prior art itself does not have a degradation effect and may cause environmental pollution.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a degradable disposable fork, comprising a fork handle, a fork arm is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the fork handle, a fork seat is fixedly connected to the end of the fork arm away from the fork handle, and the surfaces of the fork handle, the fork arm and the fork seat are all provided with interconnected pits;

[0006] The fork handle comprises a plant-based plastic layer, a reinforcement layer is fixedly connected to the top end of an outer wall of the plant-based plastic layer, and an anti-slip layer is fixedly connected to the top end of an outer wall of the reinforcement layer.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The material used for the plant-based plastic layer is plant fiber.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The material used for the anti-slip layer is a cellulose-based coating.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The fork handle, fork arm and fork seat are in a U-shape as a whole.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. In the utility model, by providing an anti-skid layer and pits, the anti-skid layer can effectively increase the friction effect of the surface of the fork handle when it is in use, thereby preventing the surface from being stained with water and falling off. At the same time, by providing the pits, multiple sets of disposable forks can be spliced ​​together at the same time, thereby reducing space occupation.

[0015] 2. In the utility model, by providing a reinforcement layer and combining plastic with wood or bamboo, the structural strength and durability of the disposable fork can be improved, while also making full use of the advantages of various materials and reducing costs and environmental impacts.

[0016] 3. In the present invention, by providing a plant-based plastic layer, plant fibers are relatively easy to degrade in the natural environment because they can be decomposed into simple organic matter by microorganisms, thereby reducing the impact on the ecological environment.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3The utility model provides an embodiment: a degradable disposable fork, comprising a fork handle 1, a fork arm 2 is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the fork handle 1, and a fork seat 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the fork arm 2 away from the fork handle 1, and the surfaces of the fork handle 1, the fork arm 2 and the fork seat 3 are all provided with interconnected pits 4, and the overall shape of the fork handle 1, the fork arm 2 and the fork seat 3 is U-shaped. By providing the pits 4 on the surfaces between the three, multiple groups of disposable forks can be spliced ​​and stacked together, thereby reducing space occupancy.

[0024] Reference Figure 3 The fork handle 1 includes a plant-based plastic layer 103. The material of the plant-based plastic layer 103 is plant fiber. The plant fiber includes corn starch, cassava starch, sugar cane or other materials. Plant fibers are relatively easy to degrade in the natural environment because they can be decomposed into simple organic matter by microorganisms, thereby reducing the impact on the ecological environment. The top of the outer wall of the plant-based plastic layer 103 is fixedly connected with a reinforcement layer 102. The material of the reinforcement layer 102 is a mixed material. The mixed material combines plastic with wood or bamboo, which can improve the structural strength and durability of the disposable fork, while also making full use of the advantages of various materials, while reducing costs and environmental impacts. The top of the outer wall of the reinforcement layer 102 is fixedly connected with an anti-slip layer 101. The material of the anti-slip layer 101 is a cellulose-based coating. Cellulose is a natural polysaccharide substance that can be used to prepare a coating with good anti-slip properties. Similar to starch, cellulose can also be rapidly degraded in the natural environment. At the same time, it also increases the anti-slip effect when the hand is held to prevent it from falling off when attached with water stains.

[0025] Working principle: The anti-slip layer 101 is provided to increase the anti-slip effect between the fingers when grasping the fork handle 1, thereby preventing the fork handle 1 from being stained with water and causing the fork handle 1 to slip. At the same time, a reinforcement layer 102 is added between the whole body to prevent the fork arm 2 from breaking due to the object being too hard when picking up food through the fork seat 3, thereby increasing the toughness of the fork arm 2 and extending the service life. At the same time, by adopting the whole body made of plant fiber, the environment can better degrade it when it is not in use, preventing it from affecting the ecological environment after being discarded.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
