[0024] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-3 The present application will be further described in detail.
[0025] The embodiment of the present application discloses an old-age-adapted auxiliary eating spoon. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The old-age-adapted auxiliary eating spoon comprises a spoon body 1 and a spoon handle 2, and the spoon body 1 and the spoon handle 2 are both made of food-grade plastic. The food-grade plastic is light and convenient for the old people to take. A baffle 3 is arranged at the edge of the spoon body 1, the baffle is integrally formed with the spoon body 1, and a plurality of through holes 4 are arranged at the connecting position of the spoon body 1 and the baffle along the circumferential direction of the spoon mouth of the spoon body 1. In the embodiment, the number of the through holes 4 is one, and the hole opening of the through hole 4 is provided with a round corner. The length of the baffle 3 extends from one end of the spoon body 1 close to the spoon handle 2 to the other end of the spoon body 1 away from the spoon handle 2. The baffle 3 is arranged to be inclined to the side close to the spoon body 1. The spoon body 1 has a spooning function. The soup mixed with the food in the spoon body 1 can flow out of the through hole 4 arranged at the connecting position of the baffle 3 and the spoon body 1 by tilting the spoon body 1, and the baffle plays a role in blocking the solid food to prevent the solid food from falling.
[0026] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3The handle 2 comprises a connecting handle 21 and a hand handle 22, the connecting handle 21 is fixedly connected to the spoon body 1, and the connecting handle 21 is integrally formed with the spoon body 1. The hand handle 22 is overall in a flat oval shape, and the middle section of the hand handle 22 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped bending part of the hand handle 22 is wrapped with a soft pad 5 made of silica gel. The silica gel is soft, has good elasticity, good anti-skid performance, and can better adapt to the hand strength and gripping ability of the elderly. The end of the hand handle 22 is provided with a connecting column 221, and the end of the connecting handle 21 away from the spoon body 1 is provided with a connecting hole 211 for inserting the connecting column 221. The connecting column 221 is obliquely arranged relative to the length direction of the hand handle 22, and the connecting hole 211 is obliquely arranged, so that when the hand handle 22 is connected to the connecting handle 21, the connecting column 221 is obliquely inserted into the connecting hole 211. Through the above structure, detachable connection between the hand handle 22 and the spoon body 1 is realized. On the one hand, it is convenient for disassembly and storage, on the other hand, it is convenient for replacing the hand handle 22, and at the same time, the spoon body 1 can be cleaned separately, reducing the operation of the elderly. The cross section of the connecting column 221 is oval, and the end of the connecting column 221 away from the hand handle 22 is arc-shaped. The mutual connection part of the connecting column 221 and the hand handle 22 is provided with a round corner, so that the connecting column 221 and the hand handle 22 are overall smooth and have no angle, which is convenient for cleaning. The connecting column 221 is wrapped with a magnetic member 6, which is preferably a magnet. The inner side wall of the connecting column 221 is provided with a magnetic member 7 which is magnetically attracted to the magnetic member 6, which is preferably stainless steel. When the connecting column 221 is inserted into the connecting hole 211, the connection between the hand handle 22 and the connecting handle 21 is strengthened by the magnetic attraction between the magnet and the stainless steel.
[0027] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
