[0029] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0030] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: a reinforced tooth tip structure for a table fork, including a fork handle 11, one end of the fork handle 11 is fixedly connected with a hollow ring 1, the other end of the fork handle 11 is fixedly connected with a connecting block 4, a plurality of fork teeth 5 are fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting block 4, a tooth groove 6 is opened at one end of the fork tooth 5 away from the connecting block 4, one end of the fork tooth 5 away from the connecting block 4 presents a shape of two triangular teeth, and a sleeve component is arranged inside the fork tooth 5 for strengthening the fork tooth 5.
[0031] Specifically, the fork handle 11 is the main holding part, providing good grasping comfort and ensuring that the user can stably control the table fork during use. The hollow ring 1 is located at one end of the fork handle 11, and its hollow structure facilitates hanging the table fork on a hook in the kitchen, realizing convenient storage and saving space. The connecting block 4 is a key component connecting the fork handle 11 and the fork teeth 5, ensuring a firm combination of the two and improving the overall strength and durability of the table fork. The fork teeth 5 are the core part of the table fork for picking up food. The two ends of the fork teeth 5 are designed such that one end is triangular for easily penetrating into the food, and the other end is provided with a tooth groove 6 to enhance the grasping force and ensure that the food is firmly clamped. The triangular design at the end of the fork teeth 5 in the shape of triangular teeth increases the contact area with the food, improving the grasping efficiency and stability. The sleeve component improves its durability, preventing wear and deformation caused by long-term use and ensuring the lasting use efficiency of the table fork.
[0032] Refer to Figure 3 , the sleeve component includes a non-stick layer 7, an anti-corrosion layer 8 is arranged at the bottom of the non-stick layer 7, a matrix material layer 9 is arranged at the bottom of the anti-corrosion layer 8, and a wear-resistant layer 10 is arranged at the bottom of the matrix material layer 9.
[0033] Specifically, the non-stick layer 7 is made of food-grade material. The main purpose of this design is to prevent adhesion between the food and the fork teeth 5, making it easy for the food to separate from the fork teeth 5 for convenient eating. At the same time, the non-stick property also helps reduce the residue of food scraps, facilitating cleaning, improving the hygiene conditions. The anti-corrosion layer 8 is located below the non-stick layer 7, and its main function is to protect the matrix material layer 9 from corrosion and extend the service life of the table fork. Especially during the contact with food, the anti-corrosion layer 8 can resist the erosion of substances such as acids and alkalis, preventing the material from oxidizing or corroding due to long-term use. The matrix material layer 9, as the core support layer of the sheath assembly, undertakes the role of transmitting force to ensure the stability and durability of the fork teeth 5 during use. This layer is usually made of materials with high hardness and wear resistance to ensure that the fork teeth 5 will not easily deform or be damaged when clamping food. The wear-resistant layer 10 is located below the matrix material layer 9, and its main function is to increase the wear resistance of the surface of the fork teeth 5. Through this layer of design, it can effectively resist the wear caused by food friction, ensuring that the sharpness of the fork teeth 5 can be maintained for a long time, thereby enhancing the practicality and aesthetics of the table fork.
[0034] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 On the outer side of the fork handle 11, there is an opening 3 which is used for using the bottle opener. The fork teeth 5 are completely curved upward in a certain arc. The hollow ring 1 is hollow in the middle and is used to hang on the hook in the kitchen. The non-stick layer 7 is made of food-grade material, the anti-corrosion layer 8 is made of food-grade material, the matrix material layer 9 is made of food-grade material, the wear-resistant layer 10 is made of food-grade material, and anti-slip patterns 2 are provided on the outer side of the fork handle 11.
[0035] Specifically, the fork handle 11, as the handheld part, provides a good grip, enabling users to comfortably hold the table fork for operation. The opening 3 is located on the outer side of the fork handle 11 and is designed to open things like beer. In this way, when opening a bottle is needed, users don't need to look for additional tools, improving the convenience of dining. The fork teeth 5 are curved upward in a certain arc, and this design helps to better pick up and control food, improving the dining efficiency and comfort. The hollow ring 1 is located at one end of the fork handle 11 and has a hollow structure, making it convenient to hang on the hook in the kitchen, facilitating storage and saving space. The anti-slip patterns 2 are distributed on the outer side of the fork handle 11, increasing the friction force. Even when the hands are wet, it can maintain a good grip and prevent slipping, ensuring safe use.
[0036] Working principle: When in use, food can be picked up with one end of the fork teeth 5. During specific operation, place the food on the upper end of the fork teeth 5, and then gently push the food to the required position with your finger. Since one end of the fork teeth 5 is in the shape of two triangular teeth and is provided with tooth grooves 6, it can effectively grip the food and prevent the food from slipping during the picking and delivering process. In addition, the non-stick layer 7, anti-corrosion layer 8, matrix material layer 9, and wear-resistant layer 10 in the sheath assembly are all made of food-grade materials, ensuring the safety and durability of the tableware. The non-stick layer 7 ensures that food residues can easily detach from the fork teeth 5, facilitating cleaning; the anti-corrosion layer 8 protects the matrix material from corrosion and extends the service life; the matrix material layer 9 provides stable structural support; the wear-resistant layer 10 enhances the durability of the fork teeth 5, keeps them sharp, and the anti-slip pattern 2 further enhances the feel of the fork handle 11, enabling a good grip even when the hand is wet and avoiding slipping. At the same time, the hollow ring 1 design at one end of the fork handle 11 not only facilitates hanging on the kitchen hook to save space but also makes the table fork easy to store and carry. The opening 3 on the outer side of the fork handle 11 cleverly incorporates the function of a bottle opener. When it is necessary to open a bottle cap, it can be quickly converted into a bottle opener for use, enhancing the versatility of the tableware.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
