Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, if the word "several" or "several" is used, it means one or more, and "more" means two or more. "greater than," "less than," and "exceed" are understood to exclude the number itself, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the number itself. The use of the words "first," "second," and "third" is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and is not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0025] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 , an embodiment of the utility model of a children's bubble fork is further described in detail.

[0026] A bubble fork for children, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a handle 1 for a child to grasp and a fork assembly 2 for loading food. At least two grooves 11 are provided on the front end of the handle 1 near the fork assembly 2. The two grooves 11 are interconnected and arranged parallel to each other along the length direction of the handle 1; a corresponding number of air bags 3 are provided in the grooves 11, and the air bags 3 are hemispherical structures and can be movably fitted in the grooves 11. A clamping sleeve 31 is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the air bag 3, and the clamping sleeve 31 and the air bag 3 are an integrally formed structure.

[0027] When the child presses the inflated air bag 3, the groove 11 at the bottom thereof will transfer the compressed gas to the groove 11 on the other side, and fill the air bag 3 there, thereby completing the gas transfer between the two air bags 3, thereby attracting the child's interest and guiding the child to correctly grasp the handle 1. By pressing one of the inflated air bags 3, the gas inside it will be transferred to the other air bag 3 through the connected groove 11, thereby completing its expansion, thereby stimulating the child's curiosity and attracting the child to place his thumb in the correct position of the fork handle 1, so that the child can quickly learn the posture of grasping the fork.

[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 、 5 As shown, the grooves 11 are respectively a first groove 111 and a second groove 112 . The sides where the first groove 111 and the second groove 112 abut against each other are connected to each other, and the cross sections of the first groove 111 and the second groove 112 are in the shape of a figure “8”.

[0029] Specifically, a slot is defined within the recess 11 at a position corresponding to the ferrule 31. The ferrule 31 engages within the slot, with a clearance fit between the ferrule 31 and the slot. The recess 11 facilitates not only the rapid installation of the airbag 3 but also the storage of gas within the airbag 3. The slot's diameter is larger than that of the recess 11, forming a stepped mounting platform 4. This ensures simple and convenient installation of the airbag 3 and facilitates interlocking movement between the airbags 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the fork assembly 2 includes a fork head 21 and a metal bone bar 22, one end of the fork head 21 is fixedly connected to the metal bone bar 22; the metal bone bar 22 is inserted into the slot, and the metal bone bar 22 is distributed along the length direction of the handle 1, and the metal bone bar 22 and the slot are interference fit.

[0031] Specifically, the fork 21 can be replaced with a spoon or other tableware according to actual needs. This detachable structure not only adapts to a wider variety of tableware, but also increases children's enthusiasm for learning to use various tableware. When replacing the fork 21, just pull out the metal bone bar 22 from the slot in the handle 1, and then insert the tableware to be replaced into the slot to complete the installation.

[0032] In order to further improve the correct posture of young children learning to hold the fork, recessed parts 5 that fit the curved surface of the fingers are provided on both sides of the handle 1. The recessed parts 5 can fit the curvature of the child's fingers, thereby guiding their grasping posture. At the same time, the handle 1 and the airbag 3 are both made of flexible colloid, and the flexible colloid material is specifically rubber or silicone. The use of such flexible materials can not only prevent young children from accidentally hurting themselves or others during use, and play a good protective role, but also improve the feel of gripping the fork.

[0033] The method of using the children's bubble fork of the utility model is as follows:

[0034] First, insert the metal bone strip 22 of the fork assembly 2 into the slot of the handle 1, and adjust the direction of the fork head 21 according to actual usage requirements. Then, install the airbag 3 along the groove 11 opened on the handle 1, so that the clamping sleeve 31 on the airbag 3 is clamped on the clamping platform 4 between the groove 11 and the clamping slot. At this time, the airbag 3 in the first groove 111 is in a gas-filled state, and the airbag 3 and the air-filled chamber are in a sealed state. The airbag 3 in the second groove 112 is not filled with gas. The airbag in this position is 3 is recessed in the groove 11. When a child presses the airbag 3 in the first groove 111, the airbag 3 transfers the gas compressed in the groove 11 to the airbag 3 in the second groove 112. As a result, the airbag 3 in the first groove 111 begins to deflate and fall, while the airbag 3 in the second groove 112 begins to be backfilled with gas and expands to form a semi-spherical shape. The airbag 3 can be switched back and forth by pressing, thereby stimulating the child's curiosity and attracting the child to place his thumb in the correct position of the fork handle 1, so that he can quickly learn the posture of holding the fork.

[0035] The examples of this specific embodiment are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application.
