[0023] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model clearer and more apparent, the utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model and not to limit the utility model.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , now a combined chopsticks provided by the utility model will be described. The combined chopsticks comprise a clamping rod 1, a handheld rod 2 and a sleeve 3, the end of the clamping rod 1 is provided with a first inclined surface 101, the end of the handheld rod 2 is provided with a second inclined surface 201 which is attached to the first inclined surface 101, the first inclined surface 101 is provided with a limiting block 102 which is perpendicular to the first inclined surface 101, the second inclined surface 201 is provided with a limiting slot 202 which is matched with the limiting block 102, one end of the sleeve 3 is fixedly connected with the handheld rod 2, and the other end of the sleeve 3 is sleeved on the clamping rod 1 and is in sliding cooperation with the clamping rod 1.
[0025] The combined chopsticks provided by the embodiment have the following advantages compared with the prior art. The clamping rod 1 and the handheld rod 2 are in a split structure, one end of the clamping rod 1 provided with the first inclined surface 101 is inserted into the sleeve 3, the first inclined surface 101 on the clamping rod 1 is attached to the second inclined surface 201 on the handheld rod 2 at the same time, and the limiting block 102 is clamped into the limiting slot 202 under the action of external force, so as to realize the fixed connection of the clamping rod 1 and the handheld rod 2; when it is needed to put the chopsticks into a container, a reverse force is applied to the clamping rod 1 and the handheld rod 2, so that the limiting block 102 is detached from the limiting slot 202, so as to realize the separation of the handheld rod 2 and the clamping rod 1, and then the chopsticks can be put into the container.
[0026] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , the limiting block 102 is integrally formed with the clamping rod 1. In the embodiment, the limiting block 102 and the clamping rod 1 are integrally manufactured by machining, and the structure of integral molding has higher strength and is more durable.
[0027] The design of integral molding also brings many other advantages in practical application. Since there is no connecting part, errors caused by loose connection are avoided. When the workpiece is clamped, the force borne by the clamping rod 1 can be uniformly transmitted to the limiting block 102, so as to ensure the stability of the whole structure.
[0028] From the perspective of assembly, the integrally formed limiting block 102 and clamping rod 1 reduces the assembly process. Traditional split structure often needs additional connecting components such as bolts, nuts or glue for fixing, which not only increases the complexity of assembly, but also may affect the performance due to improper assembly. The integrally formed structure of the design can be directly used after manufacturing, greatly improving the production efficiency.
[0029] In the long-term use process, the integrally formed structure is also easier to maintain. Unlike the split structure that may need to check the fastening condition of the connection part regularly, the structure does not have the problem of wear, looseness and other problems of the connection part. And in the face of complex working environment, such as high temperature, high humidity or strong vibration environment, the integrally formed limiting block 102 and clamping rod 1 can better maintain the integrity of itself and ensure its function is not affected.
[0030] In appearance, the integrally formed design is also more simple and smooth.
[0031] In addition, from the perspective of material utilization, integrally forming can better optimize the distribution of materials. In the manufacturing process, the reasonable distribution of materials can be made according to the stress condition of the limiting block 102 and the clamping rod 1, avoiding the material redundancy or local weakness that may occur in the split structure, further improving the utilization efficiency of materials and reducing the production cost.
[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , the limiting block 102 and the clamping rod 1 are fixedly connected by the screw 103. In this embodiment, the top surface of the limiting block 102 is provided with a counterbore for accommodating the head of the screw 103, so as to avoid the collision between the screw 103 and the hand-held rod 2. The limiting block 102 and the clamping rod 1 are split structure, so as to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the limiting block 102.
[0033] The split structure design has unique advantages in actual application scenarios. Compared with the integrally formed structure, the split structure enables targeted maintenance operation when a component is damaged. For example, after long-term use, the limiting block 102 may be worn or damaged due to frequent friction with other components or external force impact. At this time, only by disassembling the screw 103, the limiting block 102 can be easily removed and replaced, without the need for whole replacement or complex repair work as in the integrally formed structure.
[0034] From a manufacturing perspective, the limit block 102 and the clamping rod 1 are manufactured separately, which can improve production efficiency. They can be processed on different production lines and can use different manufacturing processes and materials according to their respective functional requirements. For example, the clamping rod 1 may need to use materials with high strength and toughness to ensure that it does not deform during clamping; while the limit block 102 may pay more attention to the surface wear resistance, and can use surface treatment technology to enhance its wear resistance.
[0035] During assembly, although one additional screw 103 connection process is added compared to the integral structure, this connection method also provides certain adjustment flexibility. If it is found during assembly that the position of the limit block 102 needs to be fine-tuned, it can be appropriately adjusted by loosening the screw 103 and then tightened again. This flexibility is very beneficial in some cases where assembly accuracy is required.
[0036] In addition, the design of the counterbore not only avoids collision with the hand rod 2, but also improves the safety of the entire device to some extent. If the head of the screw 103 is exposed, it may scratch the operator or interfere with the lines, components, etc. of other surrounding equipment, and the counterbore design effectively solves these potential safety hazards.
[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The bottom rod of the limit block 102 is provided with a stud 104, and the stud 104 is connected with the clamping rod 1 through threads. In this embodiment, the limit block 102 is made of plastic material, and the stud 104 and the limit block 102 are integrally made by injection molding. The clamping rod 1 is provided with a threaded hole for installing the stud 104. The limit block 102 is fixedly connected with the clamping rod 1 through the stud 104.
[0038] The clamping rod 1 is provided with a threaded hole for installing the stud 104. The limit block 102 is fixedly connected with the clamping rod 1 through the stud 104. This threaded connection has many advantages. First, it is convenient to install and disassemble. During the assembly of the device, the operator can easily screw the limit block 102 onto the clamping rod 1, and when the limit block 102 needs to be repaired or replaced, it can also be quickly disassembled without damaging the clamping rod 1.
[0039] Secondly, the threaded connection can provide good connection stability. During the operation of the device, even if it is subjected to a certain degree of vibration or external impact, as long as the specification of the threaded connection is appropriate and the tightening torque is appropriate, the limit block 102 can be firmly fixed on the clamping rod 1, thereby ensuring the normal play of its limiting function.
[0040] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6The grommet 105 is sleeved on the stud 104. In this embodiment, the grommet 105 is sleeved on the stud 104. By adjusting the number of grommets 105, the height of the limiting block 102 is adjusted to match the height of the limiting slot 202.
[0041] This design of adjusting the height of the limiting block 102 by the grommet 105 has strong flexibility and practicality. In actual production or equipment assembly process, due to machining error or tolerance accumulation between different parts, the initial height of the limiting block 102 may not accurately match the limiting slot 202. The presence of the grommet 105 solves this problem well, providing a simple and effective fine-tuning method.
[0042] Each increase or decrease of a grommet 105 will change the height of the limiting block 102 accordingly. The accuracy of this fine-tuning can be determined by the thickness of the grommet 105, for example, if the thickness of the grommet 105 is 0.1 mm, then each increase or decrease of a grommet 105 will increase or decrease the height of the limiting block 102 by 0.1 mm. This precise adjustment capability helps to improve the assembly accuracy of the chopsticks, ensuring that the limiting block 102 can accurately cooperate with the limiting slot 202.
[0043] From the cost point of view, the grommet 105 is a relatively simple and low-cost component. Using the grommet 105 to adjust the height, compared to reprocessing the limiting block 102 or adjusting the limiting slot 202, undoubtedly saves a lot of cost and time. At the same time, the grommet 105 is also very versatile, and can be easily used to solve similar height adjustment problems in different chopsticks or different parts of the same chopsticks.
[0044] In terms of maintenance and repair of chopsticks, the grommet 105 also has great advantages. If after a period of operation of the chopsticks, due to wear and tear of parts or other reasons, the cooperation between the limiting block 102 and the limiting slot 202 is problematic, maintenance personnel can quickly restore the fit between the two by simply increasing or decreasing the number of grommets 105, reducing the downtime of the chopsticks and improving the operating efficiency of the chopsticks.
[0045] In some embodiments, the sleeve 3 is fixed to the handheld rod 2 by adhesion. In this embodiment, the sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the handheld rod 2 by adhesion, without the need for installation of connecting parts, ensuring the aesthetic appearance.
[0046] In addition to improving aesthetics, this bonding fixation method has many other advantages. From the perspective of assembly process, the bonding process is relatively simple and convenient. Compared to using connectors such as screws, nuts, or buckles, there is no need for complex installation operations such as aligning screw holes, tightening nuts, and other procedures, which can effectively improve assembly efficiency, reduce assembly time, and labor costs in mass production.
[0047] From the perspective of structural compactness, since there is no additional connector occupying space, the connection between the sleeve 3 and the handheld rod 2 is more compact. This is particularly important in some high-space-demand application scenarios, for example, when operating in a narrow space, a compact structure design can avoid interference with the surrounding environment, making the device more flexible and easy to use.
[0048] In terms of stability, the adhesive can fill the small gap between the sleeve 3 and the handheld rod 2, forming a tight bond after curing. This tight bond can effectively transfer stress, ensuring that there is no relative displacement or shaking between the sleeve 3 and the handheld rod 2 during device use, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire structure.
[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , alignment marks 4 are provided on the sleeve 3, the clamping rod 1, and the handheld rod 2. In this embodiment, the alignment marks 4 are triangular protrusions. Since the cross-sections of the sleeve 3, the clamping rod 1, and the handheld rod 2 are all circular, alignment marks 4 are provided on the sleeve 3, the clamping rod 1, and the handheld rod 2, so that the limiting block 102 on the clamping rod 1 and the limiting slot 202 on the handheld rod 2 can be installed in place.
[0050] Since the cross-sections of the sleeve 3, the clamping rod 1, and the handheld rod 2 are all circular, it is difficult to install the limiting block 102 on the clamping rod 1 and the limiting slot 202 on the handheld rod 2 in place without alignment marks 4. After setting triangular protrusions as alignment marks 4, during assembly, the operator can quickly determine the correct installation direction of each component by observing the relative positions of these marks.
[0051] For example, when installing the clamping rod 1 onto the handheld rod 2, by aligning the triangular protrusion alignment marks 4 on the clamping rod 1 with the corresponding marks on the handheld rod 2, it can be ensured that the limiting block 102 accurately enters the limiting slot 202, improving the accuracy and efficiency of installation.
[0052] It is quite ingenious to choose triangular protrusions as alignment marks 4. Triangles have a clear directionality, and compared to other shapes (such as circles or squares), they are easier to identify the direction.
[0053] And the triangular protrusion is visually prominent, so the operator can easily find and use it for positioning during assembly.
[0054] In the production process, the cost of setting the alignment mark 4 is relatively low. It does not require a complex processing technology, only needs to add a triangular protrusion structure simply in the forming process of the sleeve 3, the clamping rod 1 and the handheld rod 2.
[0055] At the same time, this mark is also convenient for checking in the product quality detection link, ensuring that the alignment mark 4 of each product is accurate, so as to ensure the assembly of the product in the subsequent use process.
[0056] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the clamping rod 1 is provided with an anti-skid sleeve 106. In this embodiment, the anti-skid sleeve 106 is sleeved and fixed on the clamping rod 1. The anti-skid sleeve 106 is made of rubber material, and the surface is uniformly distributed with anti-skid lines. The anti-skid sleeve 106 can increase the friction when holding the hand, and also has the function of absorbing sweat.
[0057] The anti-skid sleeve 106 is sleeved and fixed on the clamping rod 1, which is simple and easy to operate, and is convenient for installation and disassembly. In the production process, the anti-skid sleeve 106 can be installed on the clamping rod 1 without complex connection structure, which reduces the production cost and assembly difficulty.
[0058] It is very suitable to choose rubber material to make the anti-skid sleeve 106. Rubber has good elasticity and flexibility, which can well fit the surface of the clamping rod 1. Moreover, rubber itself has a certain friction, and the surface is uniformly distributed with anti-skid lines, which further enhances the anti-skid effect.
[0059] When the hand holds the anti-skid sleeve 106, the surface anti-skid lines of the rubber material contact the skin surface of the hand, which effectively increases the friction by increasing the roughness of the contact surface.
[0060] In the use process, the hand is easy to sweat, especially when holding the chopsticks for a long time. The rubber material of the anti-skid sleeve 106 has the characteristics of absorbing sweat, which can absorb the sweat on the surface of the hand. This not only can keep the hand dry and comfortable, but also can avoid the decrease of the friction between the hand and the anti-skid sleeve 106 caused by sweat, so as to ensure the stable holding of the chopsticks.
[0061] In some embodiments, the clamping rod 1 and the handheld rod 2 are made of bamboo material.
[0062] Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows relatively quickly. Selecting bamboo as the material for the clamping rod 1 and the handheld rod 2 embodies the concept of environmental protection. Compared with using some non-renewable materials (such as certain plastics or rare metals), the use of bamboo helps to reduce the overexploitation of natural resources and reduce pressure on the environment.
[0063] Bamboo is relatively light in weight. This makes the clamping rod 1 and the handheld rod 2 not too heavy for the user during use, facilitating handheld operation, whether for long-term use or when the chopsticks need to be moved flexibly. The lighter weight improves the comfort and convenience of operation.
[0064] Bamboo has a certain strength. It can meet the structural requirements of the clamping rod 1 and the handheld rod 2 during normal use, such as being able to maintain its shape and function when subjected to certain pressure or tension.
[0065] In some embodiments, the sleeve 3 is made of plastic material.
[0066] Plastic material has excellent formability. For the sleeve 3, complex shapes can be easily manufactured through molding processes such as injection molding, which can meet different design requirements. For example, a sleeve 3 can be manufactured with an internal structure that matches the handheld rod 2 and the clamping rod 1, ensuring that the components are tightly coupled during assembly.
[0067] Low cost: Compared with many other materials (such as metal or ceramic), the production cost of plastic is relatively low. This helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the entire product, making the product more competitive in the market. The raw material cost and processing cost advantage of plastic is more obvious when mass-produced.
[0068] Light weight: The density of plastic is relatively small, making the sleeve 3 light in weight. In the device composed of the handheld rod 2 and the clamping rod 1, the lighter sleeve 3 does not add too much weight to the overall structure, facilitating user handheld operation and improving the portability of the device.
[0069] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
