Technical Field

[0001] This utility model proposes a sterilizing chopsticks box, which relates to the field of tableware, and specifically to a portable rechargeable sterilizing chopsticks box. Background Technology

[0002] Existing chopstick holders for holding tableware are usually simple, one-piece snap-fit ​​structures designed to carry tableware of a certain size range. The tableware in these holders tends to wobble and make noise when walking. Even if a positioning and locking structure is designed, it can only be used for the same type of tableware and cannot properly position tableware of any reasonable size, which greatly limits the use of existing equipment.

[0003] To address the above issues, those skilled in the art propose a portable rechargeable sterilizing chopsticks box, designed to facilitate the carrying of tableware of different lengths and diameters, and capable of being adjusted and secured to prevent shaking according to the size of the tableware. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a portable rechargeable sterilizing chopsticks box that can be used to hold tableware of a larger size range. It automatically adjusts the positioning structure according to the length and diameter of the tableware to clamp it and prevent it from shaking.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a portable rechargeable sterilizing chopsticks box, including a shell, wherein a UVC lamp and matching electronic control components are provided on the inner side of the shell to sterilize the tableware carried inside by light and realize intelligent wireless control by a mobile terminal.

[0006] Because conventional chopstick holders cannot automatically adjust their positioning mechanism according to the size of the cutlery they carry, the cutlery in existing chopstick holders is prone to rattling due to shaking. In addition, existing chopstick holders have strict requirements on the size of the cutlery they carry and are not universally applicable. Therefore, an improvement plan for the existing equipment is proposed.

[0007] A chopstick holder is fixed to the inside of the housing. The tableware is inserted into the housing through the chopstick holder, which helps to position the tableware with the positioning mechanism inside the housing.

[0008] The end of the chopstick holder is provided with a fixing plate. The chopstick holder guides the tableware through the fixing plate, and the tableware is positioned by one or more fixing plates, so that the tableware is suspended in the air. This avoids the problem that the part of the tableware in contact with the shell cannot be irradiated by light, resulting in incomplete disinfection.

[0009] A silicone rod is slidably provided on the side of the fixing plate. When the tableware passes through the fixing plate, it is squeezed and causes the silicone rod to slide. As the size of the tableware changes, the silicone rod remains firmly positioned against it and can automatically adjust as the diameter of the tableware changes to ensure the positioning effect for tableware of different sizes.

[0010] Preferably, the side of the fixing plate is provided with a sliding groove, and a slider is slidably disposed on the inner side of the sliding groove. The silicone rod is slidably disposed on the side of the fixing plate through the slider.

[0011] As the cutlery presses against the silicone rod, it is pushed to one side, causing the slider to slide along the groove, thereby achieving automatic adjustment of the silicone rod according to the diameter of the cutlery.

[0012] Preferably, the silicone rod passes through the side wall of the slider and is slidably connected to it. A spring is sleeved on the side of the silicone rod against the side wall of the slider, and an end block is fixed to the end of the silicone rod corresponding to the spring.

[0013] The spring force acts on the slider, clamping the silicone rod to the side of the tableware, and pushes the slider to move after the tableware is pulled out, thereby resetting the silicone rod.

[0014] Preferably, a sleeve is slidably fitted onto the side of the silicone rod, and a guide rod is fixedly connected to the side of the sleeve, with the end of the guide rod away from the sleeve extending into the inside of the chopstick holder.

[0015] After the tableware is inserted into the chopstick holder, it first contacts and pushes the guide rod, so that the sleeve at the end of the guide rod exerts a pushing force on the silicone rod, ensuring that the tableware can smoothly enter the clamping range of the silicone rod.

[0016] Preferably, the housing includes an upper shell, a lower shell, and a middle shell, with the upper shell and lower shell respectively inserted and installed from both ends of the middle shell. A bottom shell is also fixed inside the housing, and the chopstick holder is slidably engaged with the side of the bottom shell.

[0017] The shell, assembled from multiple interlocking parts, can easily change its length according to the length of the tableware, ensuring its ability to wrap the tableware.

[0018] This utility model discloses a portable rechargeable sterilizing chopsticks box, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This portable rechargeable sterilizing chopsticks box uses a chopstick holder inside the shell to position the cutlery into the fixing plate. The cutlery is suspended and positioned using one or more fixing plates. The silicone rods on the sides of the fixing plates are spring-loaded and slide to automatically adjust according to the diameter of the cutlery, ensuring clamping adjustment for cutlery of different sizes. In addition, the multi-module shell can also be easily adjusted according to the length of the cutlery, ensuring that the device can be used with cutlery of different sizes and has a good positioning effect for cutlery of different sizes.

[0020] 2. This portable rechargeable sterilizing chopstick holder features a retractable locking structure that can accommodate chopsticks of different lengths and thicknesses, solving the problem of matching only a single type of chopstick and ensuring quiet and secure operation. A spring applies elastic force to the slider to ensure the silicone rod presses firmly against the side of the tableware.

[0028] This utility model discloses a portable charging and sterilizing chopsticks box;

[0029] According to the appendix Figure 1 As shown, it includes a housing 1, and a UVC lamp and matching electronic control components are installed on the inner side of the housing 1 to disinfect the tableware carried inside by light and realize intelligent wireless control by a mobile terminal.

[0030] Because conventional chopstick holders cannot automatically adjust their positioning mechanism according to the size of the cutlery they carry, the cutlery in existing chopstick holders is prone to rattling due to shaking. In addition, existing chopstick holders have strict requirements on the size of the cutlery they carry and are not universally applicable. Therefore, an improvement plan for the existing equipment is proposed.

[0031] According to the appendix Figure 2 As shown, a chopstick holder 2 is fixed inside the housing 1. The tableware is inserted into the housing 1 through the chopstick holder 2, and the chopstick holder 2 helps to position the tableware with the positioning mechanism inside the housing 1.

[0032] The end of the chopstick holder 2 is provided with a fixing plate 3. The chopstick holder 2 guides the tableware through the fixing plate 3, and the tableware is positioned by one or more fixing plates 3, so that the tableware is suspended in the air, avoiding the problem that the part of the tableware in contact with the shell 1 cannot be irradiated by light, resulting in incomplete disinfection.

[0033] A silicone rod 4 is slidably provided on the side of the fixing plate 3. When the tableware passes through the fixing plate 3, it squeezes the silicone rod 4 to make it slide. As the size of the tableware changes, the silicone rod 4 keeps it pressed and positioned against it. It can also automatically adjust as the diameter of the tableware changes to ensure the positioning effect for tableware of different sizes.

[0034] According to the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the fixed plate 3 is characterized in that it can allow chopsticks to pass through and form a clamping and positioning mechanism, so that its side positioning structure can be adaptively adjusted according to the diameter of the chopsticks. In addition, the chopstick tube 2 is set through at both ends, and chopsticks of different lengths can be partially placed in the chopstick tube 2. The two ends are positioned by two fixed plates 3, and the length of the shell 1 is adaptively adjusted according to the length of the chopsticks.

[0035] The side of the fixing plate 3 is provided with a groove 5, and a slider 6 is slidably arranged inside the groove 5. The silicone rod 4 is slidably arranged on the side of the fixing plate 3 through the slider 6.

[0036] As the cutlery presses against the silicone rod 4, the silicone rod 4 is subjected to a pushing force to one side. This pushing force causes the slider 6 to slide along the groove 5, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the silicone rod 4 according to the diameter of the cutlery.

[0037] The silicone rod 4 passes through the side wall of the slider 6 and is slidably connected to it. A spring 7 is sleeved on the side of the silicone rod 4, which is pressed against the side wall of the slider 6. An end block is fixed to the end of the silicone rod 4 corresponding to the spring 7.

[0038] The elastic force of spring 7 acts on slider 6, causing silicone rod 4 to clamp onto the side of the tableware, and pushes slider 6 to move after the tableware is pulled out, thereby resetting silicone rod 4.

[0039] A sleeve 9 is slidably sleeved on the side of the silicone rod 4, and a guide rod 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the sleeve 9. The end of the guide rod 10 away from the sleeve 9 extends into the inside of the chopstick holder 2.

[0040] After the tableware is inserted into the chopstick holder 2, it first contacts and pushes the guide rod 10, so that the sleeve 9 at the end of the guide rod 10 exerts a pushing force on the silicone rod 4, ensuring that the tableware can smoothly enter the clamping range of the silicone rod 4.

[0041] According to the appendix Figure 4 As shown, the housing 1 includes an upper shell, a lower shell, and a middle shell. The upper shell and the lower shell are respectively inserted and installed from both ends of the middle shell. A bottom shell is also fixed inside the housing 1, and the chopstick holder 2 is slidably snapped onto the side of the bottom shell.

[0042] The shell 1, which is assembled from multiple parts, can easily change its length according to the length of the tableware, ensuring that it can wrap the tableware.

[0043] The housing 1 is composed of three interlocking sections. After the chopsticks are positioned inside the chopstick holder 2, the length of the three interlocking sections of the housing 1 can be changed according to the length of the chopsticks extending out of the chopstick holder 2. The elastic buckles can be used for multi-segment positioning to meet the storage and use of chopsticks of any length.

[0044] Additionally, a Bluetooth structure is installed inside the housing 1, which can connect to the parents' mobile phone for monitoring. A UVC lamp for disinfection is also installed inside the housing 1 to disinfect the chopsticks by irradiating them for a certain period of time.

[0045] Existing disinfection chopstick boxes have certain drawbacks in terms of disinfection effect, cleanliness, and chopstick type limitations. To address these shortcomings, a detachable baffle is designed inside the upper box. The baffle is fitted with a silicone ring to fix and mute the chopsticks. The flexible silicone can also hold chopsticks of different thicknesses in place to a certain extent.

[0046] The lower box of chopsticks features a T-shaped step design inside the cavity, creating a segmented structure that ensures chopsticks of different thicknesses can be positioned correctly and stay in place without wobbling. This double-locking design provides better stability.

[0047] The box is designed with a top and bottom lid opening mechanism, allowing chopsticks to be inserted directly into the cavity without touching the inner wall of the box. The three built-in UVC disinfection lamps placed side by side ensure the intensity of the irradiation and also solve the problem of disinfection dead corners in existing disinfection boxes.

[0048] A wireless hotspot sterilization and charging box for assisting smart chopsticks includes an MCU main control chip, a WIFI module, a display module, a charging module, a sterilization module, a SIM card tray, a human-computer interaction touch switch, and a power module.

[0049] The device consists of an internal system such as a PCB board and an external housing component. The SIM card tray can work with the WIFI module to provide the necessary local area network for the smart chopsticks. When the smart chopsticks are turned on, they will automatically detect and connect to the local area network of this product.

[0050] The disinfection module works with an infrared sensor switch. When the infrared sensor switch detects chopsticks being placed in the dish, the disinfection function is activated by default, and the disinfection process takes 180 seconds.

[0051] The display module mainly shows the disinfection process and the remaining battery power of the box. The charging module is divided into wired charging and wireless charging base. Wired charging uses Type-C to charge the box's power supply, while the wireless charging base is used with the wireless charging receiver of the smart chopsticks to charge the chopsticks' power supply.

[0052] The human-computer interaction button is used to switch the display content of the display module. The main purpose of this utility model is to help parents better understand their children's eating habits when used with smart chopsticks, so as to help parents reasonably supervise and plan their children's diet.

[0053] This invention not only provides disinfection but also works with smart chopsticks to collect real-time data on the user's eating habits and automatically upload it to an application for analysis and recording. The chopsticks' data collection module captures the user's eating patterns, and the data is then uploaded to a mobile application via a Wi-Fi module, recording the details of each meal. The local area network required for the long-distance Wi-Fi module inside the chopsticks is provided by the box described in this invention, which also provides charging and battery life.

[0054] This portable rechargeable sterilizing chopsticks box uses a chopstick holder 2 inside the housing 1 to position the cutlery into the fixing plate 3. The cutlery is suspended and positioned by one or more fixing plates 3. The side of the fixing plate 3 is pressed against a sliding silicone rod 4 by a spring 7, which can be automatically adjusted according to the diameter of the cutlery to ensure clamping adjustment for cutlery of different sizes.
