[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the technical scheme of:

[0005] An auxiliary learning chopstick, comprising an adjuster and two groups of chopsticks, the adjuster is provided with two groups of mounting cavities in a through-up-and-down manner, the two groups of chopsticks are respectively penetrated through and matched in the two groups of mounting cavities, the adjuster is provided with an auxiliary device, and the auxiliary device is a U-shaped structure with an opening facing forward.

[0006] The regulator is a structure sequentially connected by a front plate, a connecting member and a back plate, the mounting cavity is enclosed by the front plate and the back plate, and the auxiliary device is arranged on the front plate; the connecting member comprises a male head and a female head, the male head is arranged on the front plate, the female head is arranged on the back plate, and the male head and the female head are matched and detachably connected; the auxiliary device is provided with a clamping column, the clamping column is provided with a transversely penetrating clamping hole at the end, the clamping column penetrates into the through hole on the front plate, a limiting strip penetrates into the clamping hole, and the end of the limiting strip abuts against the back surface of the front plate; the back surface of the front plate is provided with a limiting frame with the through hole as the center, the inner side wall of the limiting frame is provided with four groups of limiting grooves in circumferential distribution, and the end of the limiting strip is matched in the limiting groove; the U-shaped structure is 45° with the middle line of the regulator, and the U-shaped structure is sequentially rotated by 90° with the through hole as the rotation center in the process of sequentially matching in different limiting grooves.

[0007] The front plate and the back plate of the regulator are further provided with elastic members, the left and right ends of the lower end of the elastic member abut against the two groups of chopsticks respectively; the middle part of the elastic member is provided with a fixing hole, the fixing hole is sleeved on the connecting member; the upper end of the elastic member is provided with a protruding column extending into the mounting cavity, the chopstick is provided with an annular groove, and the protruding column is matched in the groove.

[0008] The auxiliary learning chopsticks with the structure are used, the front plate and the back plate are connected with each other by the connecting member and are enclosed to form two groups of mounting cavities penetrating up and down, the two groups of chopsticks are penetrated and matched in the two groups of mounting cavities respectively, the child holds the regulator and presses the chopsticks with fingers, and the use of the chopsticks can be realized, in order to facilitate the child to hold the chopsticks better and ensure that the chopsticks will not fall off from the regulator, the auxiliary device is arranged on the front plate, the U-shaped structure opening forward can be penetrated by the thumb to buckle the auxiliary device, so that the effect of auxiliary holding is realized, and the fingers of the child will not fall off from the auxiliary device, the upward extending part on the U-shaped structure can be divided into a long structure and a short structure, so as to adapt to different use habits, the long end is above the short end or the short end is above the long end, and the long end and the short end can be adjusted according to the needs.

[0009] Since the angle between the thumb and the chopsticks tends to be 45° when a person holds the chopsticks, the orientation of the U-shaped structure should also be kept at 45° and be fixed to ensure that the child can hold the chopsticks in the correct orientation. Therefore, the clamping column on the auxiliary device is inserted through the through hole on the front plate, so that the end of the clamping column is located on the back of the front plate. Then, the clamping hole on the end of the clamping column is inserted into the limiting strip, and the front and rear ends of the limiting strip are inserted out of the clamping hole and abut against the back of the front plate, thereby clamping the auxiliary device to prevent it from falling off. A limiting frame is arranged on the back of the front plate, and the end of the limiting strip is fitted into the limiting slot on the limiting frame. The four circumferentially distributed limiting slots are symmetrically arranged, and the connecting lines of the two symmetric limiting slots form a cross-shaped distribution structure. The cross-shaped distribution structure is X-shaped on the adjuster, so that when the limiting strip is fitted into the limiting slot, the orientation of the U-shaped structure on the auxiliary device forms an angle of 45° with the center line of the adjuster, thereby ensuring that the child's thumb can maintain a 45° inclination when passing through the U-shaped structure and holding the adjuster.

Therefore, a spring is arranged between the front plate and the back plate, and the fixing hole on the spring is fixed on the connecting member. The lower end of the spring is hollow, and the left and right ends of the spring abut against the two groups of chopsticks. Therefore, when the lower ends of the two groups of chopsticks are clamped by the fingers, the lower ends of the two groups of chopsticks are pressed together around the spring as the center, and the lower end of the spring is compressed to deform, thereby forming a spring force. Therefore, when the fingers relax, the lower ends of the two groups of chopsticks are pushed apart, helping children to open the chopsticks. At the same time, the spring can fill the gap between the front plate and the back plate, so that the area enclosed between the front plate and the back plate is only the space of the two installation cavities for the chopsticks to pass through after being filled with the spring, and it is not easy to accumulate dirt during use.

[0011] Since children will inevitably move one of the chopsticks up or down during use when learning to use the chopsticks, thereby causing the ends of the two groups of chopsticks to be misaligned and unable to pick up food, a ring-shaped groove is arranged on the chopstick, and a convex column is arranged on the upper end of the spring. Therefore, under the cooperation of the convex column and the groove, the lengths of the two groups of chopsticks can be ensured to be consistent, and a certain resistance is formed, so that the child will not cause the chopsticks to slide up and down due to improper force during use.
