Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chopsticks, and particularly to a semi-circular anti-displacement children's chopstick. Background Art

[0002] In the process of children's growth, learning to use chopsticks is an important life skill. However, for children, it is not easy to master the correct method of using chopsticks. The simple two chopsticks are difficult to operate for the size of children's hands and hand strength, and it is easy to cause problems such as difficulty in picking up objects and improper force when children use chopsticks.

[0003] To solve these problems, various children's chopsticks have emerged on the market, which assist children in learning to use chopsticks by installing auxiliary devices on the chopsticks. The common clip-type auxiliary device: connects two chopsticks together through a clip to limit the opening and closing angle of the chopsticks and helps children master the use strength of the chopsticks.

[0004] However, due to the unskilled technique of using chopsticks, when children use the chopsticks with a clip-type auxiliary device to hold an object, the chopsticks often get displaced, which will cause the problem that children cannot correctly hold the object; at the same time, children have limited cognitive levels. When the chopsticks are displaced and cannot accurately hold the object, they will try to hold the object by increasing the force of pinching the chopsticks, resulting in too large a deflection angle of the chopsticks, and further causing over-fatigue of the clip-type auxiliary device on the chopsticks, affecting the service life of the children's chopsticks. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the problems in the prior art that due to the unskilled technique of using chopsticks by children, when using the chopsticks with a clip-type auxiliary device to hold an object, the chopsticks often get displaced, resulting in children being unable to correctly hold the object; and children have limited cognitive levels. When the chopsticks are displaced and cannot accurately hold the object, they will try to hold the object by increasing the force of pinching the chopsticks, resulting in too large a deflection angle of the chopsticks, and further causing over-fatigue of the clip-type auxiliary device on the chopsticks, affecting the service life of the children's chopsticks, the utility model provides a semi-circular anti-displacement children's chopstick.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model is solved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A semi-circular anti-dislocation children's chopstick, comprising a first chopstick body and a second chopstick body. The upper parts of the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body are connected by an elastic connection structure. A first mounting seat is installed in the middle of the first chopstick body, and a second mounting seat is installed in the middle of the second chopstick body. Two semi-circular first limiting parts are symmetrically arranged on the outer side wall of the first mounting seat, and two semi-circular second limiting parts are symmetrically arranged on the outer side wall of the second mounting seat. When the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body are closed, the first chopstick body is clamped between the two second limiting parts, and the second chopstick body is clamped between the two first limiting parts.

[0008] By using the first limiting part and the second limiting part to limit the deflection angles of the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body respectively, it is possible to avoid the dislocation of the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body during use, which may otherwise cause the problem that children cannot hold objects. At the same time, the deflection angles of the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body are restricted, preventing excessive deflection angles of the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body from damaging the elastic connection structure, and prolonging the service life of the semi-circular anti-dislocation children's chopstick.

[0009] Preferably, both the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body are frustum-shaped, with the cross-sectional area of the upper end face of the first chopstick body being larger than that of the lower end face of the first chopstick body, and the cross-sectional area of the upper end face of the second chopstick body being larger than that of the lower end face of the second chopstick body.

[0010] Children's palms are relatively delicate. If there are sharp corners on the chopstick body, it is easy to cause abrasions to children's palms. Therefore, setting the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body as frustum-shaped, with their side walls being circular and having no sharp corners, can effectively avoid damage to children's palms caused by sharp corners. At the same time, setting the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body to be larger at the top and smaller at the bottom makes it more convenient for children to pick up objects.

[0011] Preferably, a first mounting hole is provided at the center of the first mounting seat, and the first chopstick body can be inserted into the first mounting hole from top to bottom. A second mounting hole is provided at the center of the second mounting seat, and the second chopstick body can be inserted into the second mounting hole from top to bottom.

[0012] The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole preferably achieve the installation of the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body.

[0013] Preferably, both the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are tapered holes that are larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. When the first chopstick body is inserted into the first mounting hole, the outer side wall of the first chopstick body fits against the inner side wall of the first mounting hole. When the second chopstick body is inserted into the second mounting hole, the outer side wall of the second chopstick body fits against the inner side wall of the second mounting hole.

[0014] By setting the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole as tapered holes, the cooperation between the first mounting hole and the first chopstick body, and between the second mounting hole and the second chopstick body is made more tight, making their connection more stable.

[0015] Preferably, the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body are of the same size and shape, and the aperture of the smaller end of the first mounting hole is larger than the aperture of the larger end of the second mounting hole.

[0016] The first chopstick body and the second chopstick body are set to be of the same size, which is convenient for industrial production and installation. At the same time, it is more in line with the normal use experience of chopsticks and convenient for children to learn to use chopsticks. In order to make the first chopstick body be clamped between the two first limiting parts and the second chopstick body be clamped between the two second limiting parts when the chopsticks are closed, and in order to make the two first limiting parts and the two second limiting parts be completely misaligned, the aperture of the smaller end of the first mounting hole is set to be larger than the aperture of the larger end of the second mounting hole. Thus, when the first mounting seat is installed on the first chopstick body and the second mounting seat is installed on the second chopstick body, the lower end surface of the first mounting seat is higher than the upper end surface of the second mounting seat.

[0017] Preferably, the first mounting seat is provided with a first notch on the side wall between the two first limiting parts, and the second mounting seat is provided with a second notch on the side wall between the two second limiting parts.

[0018] The first mounting seat and the second mounting seat have a certain thickness, which affects the closing of the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body and also makes it difficult for the chopsticks to pick up smaller items. Therefore, a first notch is provided on the side wall of the first mounting seat and a second notch is provided on the side wall of the second mounting seat. When the chopsticks are closed, the first chopstick body enters the second notch and the second chopstick body enters the first notch.

[0019] Preferably, the elastic connection structure includes a connection block made of an elastic material; a third mounting hole and a fourth mounting hole are provided on the upper end surface of the connection block, and the first chopstick body can be inserted into the third mounting hole from top to bottom, and the second chopstick body can be inserted into the fourth mounting hole from top to bottom.

[0020] The material of the connection block is selected as an elastic material such as plastic, which plays a role similar to that of a clip and can deform to a certain extent under force. The third mounting hole and the fourth mounting hole are respectively used for the installation of the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body.

[0021] Preferably, both the third mounting hole and the fourth mounting hole are tapered holes that are larger at the top and smaller at the bottom; when the first chopstick body is inserted into the third mounting hole, the outer side wall of the first chopstick body fits against the inner side wall of the third mounting hole, and when the second chopstick body is inserted into the fourth mounting hole, the outer side wall of the second chopstick body fits against the inner side wall of the fourth mounting hole.

[0022] By setting the third mounting hole and the fourth mounting hole as tapered holes, the fit between the third mounting hole and the first chopstick body, and the fourth mounting hole and the second chopstick body is closer, making their connection more stable.

[0023] Preferably, the connection block is U-shaped, the U-shaped opening of the connection block faces downward, and the U-shaped opening is provided between the third mounting hole and the fourth mounting hole.

[0024] The deformation of the connecting block will generate elastic force. In order to reduce the elastic force generated by the deformation of the connecting block, the connecting block is set to a U shape.

[0025] Preferably, a decorative plate is fixedly arranged on the outer side wall of the connecting block.

[0026] A decorative plate is arranged on the outer wall of the connecting block to enhance the aesthetic effect of the semi-circular anti-displacement chopsticks. Description of the Drawings

Detailed Embodiments

[0034] To further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are only for explaining the present invention and not for limiting it.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] As Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, a semi-circular anti-dislocation children's chopstick includes a first chopstick body 110 and a second chopstick body 120. The first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120 are of the same size and shape. The upper parts of the first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120 are connected by a connecting block. A decorative plate 160 is fixedly arranged on the outer side wall of the connecting block 150, and the decorative plate 160 is used to enhance the aesthetic effect of the semi-circular anti-dislocation chopsticks. The connecting block 150 is made of an elastic material that is prone to deformation.

[0037] A first mounting seat 130 is installed in the middle of the first chopstick body 110, and a second mounting seat 140 is installed in the middle of the second chopstick body 120. Two semi-circular first limiting parts 1301 are symmetrically arranged on the outer side wall of the first mounting seat 130, and two semi-circular second limiting parts 1401 are symmetrically arranged on the outer side wall of the second mounting seat 140; when the first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120 are closed, the first chopstick body 110 is clamped between the two second limiting parts 1401, and the second chopstick body 120 is clamped between the two first limiting parts 1301.

[0038] Both the first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120 are frustum-shaped. The cross-sectional area of the upper end surface of the first chopstick body 110 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the lower end surface of the first chopstick body 110, and the cross-sectional area of the upper end surface of the second chopstick body 120 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the lower end surface of the second chopstick body 120.

[0039] A first mounting hole 1302 is provided at the center of the first mounting seat 130, and the first chopstick body 110 can be inserted into the first mounting hole 1302 from top to bottom. A second mounting hole 1402 is provided at the center of the second mounting seat 140, and the second chopstick body 120 can be inserted into the second mounting hole 1402 from top to bottom; both the first mounting hole 1302 and the second mounting hole 1402 are tapered holes that are larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. When the first chopstick body 110 is inserted into the first mounting hole 1302, the outer side wall of the first chopstick body 110 fits against the inner side wall of the first mounting hole 1302. When the second chopstick body 120 is inserted into the second mounting hole 1402, the outer side wall of the second chopstick body 120 fits against the inner side wall of the second mounting hole 1402; the aperture of the smaller end of the first mounting hole 1302 is larger than the aperture of the larger end of the second mounting hole 1402.

[0040] The elastic connection structure includes a connecting block 150. The connecting block 150 is U-shaped and is made of an elastic material; a third mounting hole 1501 and a fourth mounting hole 1502 are provided on the upper end surface of the connecting block 150. The U-shaped opening of the connecting block 150 faces downward and is provided between the third mounting hole 1501 and the fourth mounting hole 1502.

[0041] The first chopstick body 110 can be inserted into the third installation hole 1501 from top to bottom, and the second chopstick body 120 can be inserted into the fourth installation hole 1502 from top to bottom; both the third installation hole 1501 and the fourth installation hole 1502 are tapered holes that are larger at the top and smaller at the bottom; when the first chopstick body 110 is inserted into the third installation hole 1501, the outer sidewall of the first chopstick body 110 fits against the inner sidewall of the third installation hole 1501, and when the second chopstick body 120 is inserted into the fourth installation hole 1502, the outer sidewall of the second chopstick body 120 fits against the inner sidewall of the fourth installation hole 1502.

[0042] The deflection angles of the first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120 are respectively restricted by the first limiting portion 1301 and the second limiting portion 1401, avoiding the problem that the first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120 are misaligned during use, which may cause a child to be unable to hold an object. At the same time, the deflection angles of the first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120 are restricted, avoiding damage to the elastic connection structure caused by excessive deflection angles of the first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120, and prolonging the service life of the semi-circular anti-misalignment children's chopsticks.

[0043] Children's palms are relatively delicate. If there are sharp edges on the chopstick bodies, it is easy to cause abrasion to the children's palms. Therefore, the first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120 are set as frustum-shaped, and their sidewalls are circular without sharp edges, which can effectively avoid damage to the children's palms caused by sharp edges. At the same time, setting the first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120 to be larger at the top and smaller at the bottom can make it more convenient for children to pick up objects.

[0044] By setting the first installation hole 1302 and the second installation hole 1402 as tapered holes, the cooperation between the first installation hole 1302 and the first chopstick body 110, and between the second installation hole 1402 and the second chopstick body 120 is closer, making their connection more stable.

[0045] The first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120 are set to be of the same size, which is convenient for industrial production and installation. At the same time, it is more in line with the normal use experience of chopsticks and is convenient for children to learn to use chopsticks; in order to make the first chopstick body 110 be clamped between the two first limiting portions 1301 and the second chopstick body 120 be clamped between the two second limiting portions 1401 when the chopsticks are closed, and in order to make the two first limiting portions 1301 and the two second limiting portions 1401 be completely misaligned, the aperture of the smaller end of the first installation hole 1302 is set to be larger than the aperture of the larger end of the second installation hole 1402. Thus, when the first mounting seat 130 is installed on the first chopstick body 110 and the second mounting seat 140 is installed on the second chopstick body 120, the lower end face of the first mounting seat 130 is higher than the upper end face of the second mounting seat 140.

[0046] By setting the third mounting hole 1501 and the fourth mounting hole 1502 as tapered holes, the fit between the third mounting hole 1501 and the first chopstick body 110, and between the fourth mounting hole 1502 and the second chopstick body 120 is made closer, making their connection more stable. When the connecting block 150 deforms, elastic force will be generated. To reduce the elastic force generated by the deformation of the connecting block 150, the connecting block 150 is set as a U shape.

[0047] Embodiment 2

[0048] The first mounting seat 130 and the second mounting seat 140 have a certain thickness, which affects the closing of the first chopstick body 110 and the second chopstick body 120, and also makes it difficult for the chopsticks to pick up smaller items. Therefore, this embodiment is improved on the basis of Embodiment 1.

[0049] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a first notch 1303 is provided on the side wall of the first mounting seat 130 between the two first limiting portions 1301, and a second notch 1403 is provided on the side wall of the second mounting seat 140 between the two second limiting portions 1401. When the chopsticks are closed, the first chopstick body 110 enters the second notch 1403, and the second chopstick body 120 enters the first notch 1303.

[0050] In short, the above are only the preferred embodiments of this embodiment. All equal changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of this embodiment shall fall within the scope covered by the patent of this embodiment.
