[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the utility model provides a chopstick assistant for helping adults who are new to chopsticks to skillfully use chopsticks. The chopstick assistant comprises two C-shaped plates 1, which are overlapped relative to each other and are rotatably connected at the overlap by a rotating shaft 2. The backs of the two C-shaped plates 1 are respectively connected with fixed cylinders 3 for inserting chopsticks. The rotating shaft 2 is sleeved with a torsion spring 4. The two torsion arms of the torsion spring 4 respectively abut against the outer walls of the two fixed cylinders 3 and push the two fixed cylinders 3 away from each other.

[0024] The ends of the C-shaped plates 1 are chamfered. The two C-shaped plates 1 are overlapped and stacked on each other. The overlapping parts are perforated, and a rotating shaft 2 is arranged in the hole, so that the two C-shaped plates 1 can rotate within a certain angle.

[0025] The fixed tube 3 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the C-shaped plate 1 and rotates with the rotation of the C-shaped plate 1. When chopsticks are inserted into the fixed tube 3, the C-shaped plate 1 and the fixed tube 3 can rotate along with the angle change of the chopsticks.

[0026] The torsion spring 4 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 2, and the torsion arm of the torsion spring 4 applies an opening force to the two fixing tubes 3, thereby assisting the chopsticks to open.

[0027] A card plate 5 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 2, and a long hole 10 is opened on the card plate 5. The width of the card plate 5 decreases from the bottom to the top. The card plate 5 extends out of the C-shaped plate 1 and a wearing hole 6 is opened in the extended part. The end of the card plate 5 extending out of the C-shaped plate 1 is bent to form a handle 7 for pulling or pressing down the card plate 5.

[0028] The clamping plate 5 is used to control the opening and closing of the two C-shaped plates 1 and the fixed tube 3. A long hole 10 is provided at the bottom of the clamping plate 5. The long hole 10 is sleeved with the rotating shaft 2 so that the clamping plate 5 can move up and down between the two C-shaped plates 1. The top of the card plate 5 extends out the openings at the tops of the two C-shaped plates 1, and the width of the card plate 5 gradually narrows from the bottom to the top. Both sides of the top of the card plate 5 are provided with a bevel, and the width of the bottom is equal to the width of the two opposite surfaces in the middle of the two C-shaped plates 1, and the width of the top is much smaller than the width of the openings at the tops of the two C-shaped plates 1, so that when the card plate 5 moves down to make the top of the long hole 10 abut against the rotating shaft 2, the bevel of the smaller width part of the card plate 5 gradually loses its support for the openings at the tops of the two C-shaped plates 1. Under the pushing action of the opening of the torsion spring 4, the two C-shaped plates 1 rotate in the form of scissors through the fixed cylinder 3 to open the chopsticks to a larger angle; when the card plate 5 moves up to the bottom of the long hole 10 abutting against the rotating shaft 2, the bevel of the larger width part of the card plate 5 gradually opens the openings at the tops of the two C-shaped plates 1, and the torsion spring 4 is gradually brought together through the two C-shaped plates 1 and the fixed cylinder 3, and then the chopsticks are gradually brought together until they are parallel. In the interval between using chopsticks, the chopsticks can be placed together on the dining table in this way without occupying too much dining table space.

[0029] The handle 7 can be used to pull or press down the card plate 5 conveniently, and the wearing hole 6 can reduce the weight of the card plate 5, thereby reducing the overall weight of the chopstick assistant. In addition, when the chopstick assistant is not in use, the chopstick assistant can also be hung in the kitchen through the wearing hole 6.

[0030] In order to better fix the chopsticks, in the embodiment of the utility model, the inner cavity of the fixing tube 3 is set to a variable diameter structure matching the tail size of the chopsticks. The end of the torsion arm of the torsion spring 4 is connected to a limit handle 8, and the limit handle 8 is bent toward the opening of the fixing tube 3.

[0031] Correspondingly, a limiting groove is provided on the side of the chopsticks near the tail, and when the chopsticks are inserted into the interior of the fixing tube 3 until the tail of the chopsticks is completely in contact with the inner wall of the fixing tube 3, the limiting groove moves out of the fixing tube 3, and the limiting handle 8 is just inserted into the limiting groove to limit and fix the chopsticks. In order to prevent the limiting handle 8 from scratching the chopsticks, the end of the limiting handle 8 is set to a round head structure.

[0032] After the limiting handle 8 is inserted into the limiting groove, in order to facilitate the removal of chopsticks, a pull ring 9 is slidably sleeved on the torsion arm of the torsion spring 4. The pull ring 9 is used to independently control the opening and closing of the torsion spring 4. The inner diameter of the pull ring 9 is much smaller than the maximum distance of the two torsion arms of the torsion spring 4. The two torsion arms of the torsion spring 4 can be slid downward along the two torsion arms of the torsion spring 4 and pulled to the limiting handle 8. The two torsion arms of the torsion spring 4 can be closed inwardly, so that the torsion spring 4 is out of the state of conflict with the fixed tube 3, and the limiting handle 8 is out of the limiting groove on the chopsticks, and the chopsticks can be removed.

[0033] The edges of the C-shaped plate 1, the fixing tube 3 and the clamping plate 5 are all completely rounded structures, so that the chopstick auxiliary device is not easy to scratch the user when in use.

[0034] In summary, see Figures 1 to 5 When using the chopstick assistant provided by the embodiment of the utility model, the chopsticks 01 are inserted into the fixed tube 3 until the tail of the chopsticks 01 is completely against the inner wall of the fixed tube 3, and the limiting handle 8 is inserted into the limiting groove on the side of the chopsticks 01. When using the chopsticks 01, after the user picks up the food, the chopsticks 01 are slightly loosened, and the chopsticks 01 are opened by the thrust of the torsion spring 4 to put down the food. In the interval of using the chopsticks 01, the handle 7 is pulled upward to move the card plate 5 upward, and the card plate 5 opens the tops of the two C-shaped plates 1, so that the bottoms of the two C-shaped plates 1 are closed, and the fixed tube 3 is closed until the chopsticks 01 are restored to a parallel state, and the chopsticks 01 are placed on the dining table, which reduces the occupied space and is beautiful.

[0035] After the chopstick assistant is used, the pull ring 9 is pulled downward to bring the two torque arms of the torsion spring 4 inwardly together, and the limiting handle 8 is separated from the limiting groove on the side of the chopstick 01, and the chopstick 01 can be pulled out of the fixing tube 3.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
