[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described and illustrated below through specific embodiments, making this utility model clearer and more understandable. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0026] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment relates to a food gripping tool, comprising an upper gripping part 1 and a lower gripping part 2 capable of clamping and separating. A limiting part 3 is provided at the rear end of the lower gripping part 2. The upper gripping surface 4 of the upper gripping part 1 is downward-facing and fitted with the limiting part 3, resulting in an open state for both the upper gripping part 1 and the lower gripping part 2. Alternatively, the upper gripping surface 4 of the upper gripping part 1 is upward-facing and fitted with the limiting part 3, resulting in a retracted state for both the upper gripping part 1 and the lower gripping part 2. The upper gripping part 1 can be inserted into the limiting part 3 at the rear of the lower gripping part 2, with their front ends far apart to form a large opening for gripping food. Conversely, the upper gripping part 1 can also be inserted into the lower gripping part 2, closer to it, reducing the opening angle and creating a retracted state, thus reducing the space occupied by the product.

[0027] The limiting part 3 is a receiving cavity with an open front end, and the rear end of the upper clamping part 2 is inserted into the receiving cavity. The rear end of the upper clamping part 1 is provided with a first mating member, and the receiving cavity is provided with a second mating member. The first mating member and the second mating member are assembled and fixed to the upper clamping part 1 and the lower clamping part 2.

[0028] The first mating component includes a protruding rib 6 located at the rear end of the upper clamping surface 4 of the upper clamping part 1. The second mating component includes an elastic limiting buckle 5 disposed on the bottom surface of the receiving cavity. When the upper clamping part 1 and the lower clamping part 2 are in the open state, the elastic limiting buckle 5 and the protruding rib 6 are engaged, and the engagement completes the rear end fixation of the upper clamping part 1 and the lower clamping part 2, and the upper clamping part 1 and the lower clamping part 2 are in the open state.

[0029] The second mating component also includes a protrusion 7 located at the rear end of the back side of the upper clamping part 1. When the upper clamping part 1 and the lower clamping part 2 are in the open state, the protrusion 7 abuts against the top 16 of the front end of the receiving cavity, which helps to fix the position of the rear ends of the upper clamping part 1 and the lower clamping part 2.

[0030] When installed in the open position, the upper and lower parts form an angle at the front of the product. When the user holds the middle of the upper and lower clamping parts and applies force inward, the upper and lower clamping parts deform under the elasticity of the product itself, thereby achieving the function of clamping food.

[0031] The first mating component also includes an upper groove 17 located at the rear end of the back side of the upper clamping part 1, and the second mating component also includes a lower groove 8 provided on the bottom surface of the receiving cavity. When the upper clamping part 1 and the lower clamping part 2 are in the storage state, the upper groove 17 engages with the elastic limiting buckle 5, and the protrusion 7 abuts against the lower groove 8. Through the engagement, the rear ends of the upper clamping part 1 and the lower clamping part 2 are fixed, ensuring that the two parts will not easily fall off during use, and the front ends of the two parts are fitted together to complete the storage.

[0032] The upper clamping part 1 includes a spatula, and the lower clamping part 2 includes a soup spoon.

[0033] The upper clamping part 1 or the lower clamping part 2 is provided with a support foot 9 on its back. The bottom of both the upper and lower clamping parts is designed with a support foot 9, which can effectively prevent the bottom of the product from contacting the kitchen countertop when the user places it. After the user finishes using it, he / she only needs to pull the upper clamping part 1 forward towards the spoon head to disengage it from the limiting part 3, so that the upper and lower clamping parts can be separated, which is convenient for cleaning after the product is used. After the user finishes cleaning, he / she only needs to turn the upper clamping part 1 over and insert it into the receiving cavity of the lower clamping part 2 with the tail facing it, so that the upper and lower clamping parts can be stored.

[0034] The lower clamping part 1 has a flexible wrapping part 10 at its front end. The flexible material reduces friction with the pot body when it is used as a spatula.

[0035] The front end of the lower clamping part 2 is provided with one or more of the following: a grinding rib 11, a toothed part 12, and a drainage hole 13. The front end of the lower clamping part 2 is also designed with multiple functional structures, which can be used as a soup spoon. The grinding rib 11 is designed on the front of the product, which can grind cooked food pieces; the front end of the product is designed with an arc surface with an internal cavity, which can be used to scoop some soup noodles and supplementary food; the bottom is designed with a drainage hole 13, which allows water to drain out; the edge is designed with a toothed part 12, which can hang some strips of supplementary food.

[0036] The upper clamping part 1 has an upper hanging hole 14 at its rear end, and the lower clamping part 2 has a lower hanging hole 15 at its rear end. When the upper clamping part and the lower clamping part are assembled, the upper hanging hole 14 and the lower hanging hole 15 are located on the same axis. The combined hanging holes are used for hanging and draining.

[0037] The food tongs are split into two parts, with the upper and lower gripping parts separated. This retains the food gripping function while adding other functions to each gripping part. It can be combined with some common user needs such as stir-frying, serving noodles, draining soup, and crushing cooked food. The detachable design also makes it easy for users to clean.

Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
