Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tableware, in particular to a pair of children's training chopsticks. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, with the wide spread of Chinese cuisine around the world, chopsticks, as a symbol of Chinese food culture, are used and loved by more and more people. Chopsticks are a unique eating utensil invented by the Chinese since ancient times. When using chopsticks, the fingers and the brain need to cooperate properly to make the hand perform complex and precise movements. Letting infants and young children learn to use chopsticks can not only develop the brain, exercise the hand muscles, but also help children master the correct chopstick-using posture from an early age.

[0003] Therefore, training chopsticks have emerged on the market. By limiting the position of the chopsticks through a housing, the degree of front-back dislocation of the training chopsticks during use is greatly reduced compared with ordinary chopsticks, reducing the difficulty for infants and young children to learn to use chopsticks. However, traditional training chopsticks achieve the movement of the chopstick rods through the hinging or meshing of various components, making the overall structure of the training chopsticks relatively complex. Infants and young children often regard items such as chopsticks as toys and even use chopsticks to smash bowls and dishes, making the training chopsticks vulnerable to damage during use, and the internal precision components are prone to jamming or insensitive response, requiring the user to apply more force to use them normally, which is not convenient to use. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a pair of children's training chopsticks, which solves the problems of complex structure and inconvenient use of traditional training chopsticks.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: A pair of children's training chopsticks includes a housing and a chopstick body. The chopstick body includes a connecting part, and the connecting part is connected inside the housing. The housing includes a front housing and a rear housing, and the front housing and the rear housing are snap-connected to each other. Two sides of the top of the housing are respectively rotatably connected with a first decorative part and a second decorative part. The first decorative part includes a first decorative portion and a first snap portion, and the second decorative part includes a second decorative portion and a second snap portion. The first snap portion and the second snap portion are both rotatably connected inside the housing, and the first decorative portion and the second decorative portion both extend out of the housing. The connecting part is provided with a first transmission groove corresponding to the first snap portion, and the first snap portion abuts against the first transmission groove. The connecting part is provided with a second transmission groove corresponding to the second snap portion, and the second snap portion abuts against the second transmission groove. The chopstick body further includes a first chopstick rod and a second chopstick rod, and the connecting part is integrally formed with the first chopstick rod and the second chopstick rod, and the connecting part has elasticity.

[0006] With the above technical solution, the upper parts of the first chopstick rod and the second chopstick rod are held by the hands of the infant. When the hands of the infant apply a driving force to the first chopstick rod and the second chopstick rod, the bottoms of the first chopstick rod and the second chopstick rod begin to approach each other, and the elastic connecting part is squeezed and deformed. The squeezing of the first transmission groove causes the first clamping part to rotate, and the squeezing of the second transmission groove causes the second clamping part to rotate. At the same time, the first decorative part and the second decorative part rotate. After the bottoms of the first chopstick rod and the second chopstick rod approach each other, they can be used to clamp food. After the hands of the infant release the first chopstick rod and the second chopstick rod, the connecting part rebounds and resets, the first decorative part and the second decorative part reset, and the first chopstick rod and the second chopstick rod return to the initial state; the integrally formed connecting part with the first chopstick rod and the second chopstick rod makes the structure of the training chopsticks very simple. Even if the infant smashes the training chopsticks as toys, they can still be used normally, making the training chopsticks extremely durable and very convenient to use. Moreover, during the process of using the training chopsticks, the first decorative part and the second decorative part will drive the first chopstick rod and the second chopstick rod to rotate, attracting the attention of the infant, and making the process of the infant practicing using chopsticks more interesting, which can better stimulate the infant's interest in using the training chopsticks.

[0007] Further, a first positioning shaft and a second positioning shaft are arranged in the housing. The first clamping part is rotatably connected to the first positioning shaft, and the second clamping part is rotatably connected to the second positioning shaft; a first mounting shaft and a second mounting shaft are also arranged. The first mounting shaft is located below the first positioning shaft, and the second mounting shaft is located below the second positioning shaft. The first mounting shaft and the second mounting shaft respectively pass through the connecting part near its two end parts.

[0008] With the above technical solution, the first clamping part is rotatably connected to the first positioning shaft, and the second clamping part is rotatably connected to the second positioning shaft, enabling the first decorative part and the second decorative part to rotate within the housing. The first mounting shaft and the second mounting shaft are respectively connected to both sides of the connecting part, making it very convenient to install the connecting part within the housing, with the overall force being more balanced and the structure being more stable.

[0009] Further, the first transmission groove is located between the first positioning shaft and the first mounting shaft, and the second transmission groove is located between the second positioning shaft and the second mounting shaft.

[0010] With the above technical solution, the installation of the connecting part with the first decorative part and the second decorative part is very convenient; the first transmission groove being located between the first positioning shaft and the first mounting shaft enables the first clamping part to rotate smoothly when being squeezed by the first transmission groove, and the second transmission groove being located between the second positioning shaft and the second mounting shaft enables the second clamping part to rotate smoothly when being squeezed by the second transmission groove.

[0011] Further, a first arc surface and a second arc surface are provided inside the connecting portion, and the first arc surface and the second arc surface are symmetrically arranged; a limiting notch is also provided, and the limiting notch is arranged between the end of the first arc surface and the end of the second arc surface.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the first arc surface and the second arc surface make the overall force on the connecting portion very uniform when it is deformed under force, and the setting of the limiting notch enables the connecting portion to have a certain deformation space, extending the service life of the connecting portion.

[0013] Further, first arc grooves are provided on the inner sides of the connecting portions, and the two first arc grooves are symmetrically arranged, and the two first arc grooves are respectively located at the bottoms of the first arc surface and the second arc surface.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the setting of the first arc grooves makes the force on the inner sides of the connecting portions more uniform, and at the same time, the user can apply less force to drive the training chopsticks to pick up food, which is very labor-saving to use.

[0015] Further, second arc grooves are provided on the outer sides of the connecting portions, and the two second arc grooves are symmetrically arranged, and the two second arc grooves are respectively located below the first mounting shaft and the second mounting shaft.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the setting of the second arc grooves makes the force on the outer sides of the connecting portions more uniform, and the force used by the user to drive the training chopsticks to pick up food is greatly reduced, which is very labor-saving to use.

[0017] Further, a first avoidance opening and a second avoidance opening are formed on the housing, the first chopstick rod passes through the first avoidance opening, the second chopstick rod passes through the second avoidance opening, limiting surfaces are provided on both the first chopstick rod and the second chopstick rod, and the two limiting surfaces are respectively located outside the first avoidance opening and the second avoidance opening.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, when the user uses the training chopsticks, the first chopstick rod moves in the first avoidance opening, the second chopstick rod moves in the second avoidance opening, and the limiting surfaces can abut against the first avoidance opening and the second avoidance opening, preventing the first chopstick rod and the second chopstick rod from moving up and down too much and affecting normal use.

[0019] Further, a first clamping portion is provided at the end of the first chopstick rod, a first clamping surface is provided on the first clamping portion, a second clamping portion is provided at the end of the second chopstick rod, a second clamping surface is provided on the second clamping portion, and anti-slip lines are provided on both the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the anti-slip patterns on the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface greatly increase the friction between the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface and the food, preventing the food clamped during the use of the training chopsticks from slipping.

[0036] Refer to Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, a pair of training chopsticks for children includes a housing 1 and chopstick bodies 2. The chopstick bodies 2 include a connecting part 27, and the connecting part 27 is connected inside the housing 1. The housing 1 includes a front housing 101 and a rear housing 102, and the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102 are snap-connected to each other. On both sides of the top of the housing 1, a first decorative part 3 and a second decorative part 4 are rotatably connected respectively. The first decorative part 3 includes a first decorative portion 301 and a first clamping portion 302, and the second decorative part 4 includes a second decorative portion 401 and a second clamping portion 402. Both the first clamping portion 302 and the second clamping portion 402 are rotatably connected inside the housing 1, and both the first decorative portion 301 and the second decorative portion 401 extend out of the housing 1. The connecting part 27 is provided with a first transmission groove 5 corresponding to the first clamping portion 302, and the first clamping portion 302 abuts against the first transmission groove 5. The connecting part 27 is provided with a second transmission groove 6 corresponding to the second clamping portion 402, and the second clamping portion 402 abuts against the second transmission groove 6. The chopstick bodies 2 further include a first chopstick rod 7 and a second chopstick rod 8. The connecting part 27 is integrally formed with the first chopstick rod 7 and the second chopstick rod 8, and the connecting part 27 has elasticity. Let the hands of infants hold the upper parts of the first chopstick rod 7 and the second chopstick rod 8. When the hands of infants apply a driving force to the first chopstick rod 7 and the second chopstick rod 8, the bottoms of the first chopstick rod 7 and the second chopstick rod 8 begin to approach each other, and the elastic connecting part 27 is squeezed and deformed. The first clamping portion 302 is rotated by the extrusion of the first transmission groove 5, and the second clamping portion 402 is rotated by the extrusion of the second transmission groove 6. At the same time, the first decorative part 3 and the second decorative part 4 rotate.
