Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, a numbered chopstick marked with Arabic numerals includes: a chopstick handle 1, an annular groove 2 on the outer wall of the chopstick handle 1, an anti-slip component inside the annular groove 2, a fixing block 4 fixedly installed on the top of the chopstick handle 1, a connecting component on the fixing block 4, a marking mechanism on the chopstick handle 1, and a chopstick eating handle 20 connected to the end of the chopstick handle 1 away from the fixing block 4 through a plug-in component.

[0027] The marking mechanism includes a mounting groove 3 on the outer wall of the chopstick handle 1, a mounting block 7 is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 3, a number block 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting block 7, and the outer wall of the mounting block 7 near the number block 8 is arc-shaped.

[0028] As can be seen from the above, the use of number blocks 8, which are shaped like Arabic numerals, allows for the creation of different numerical markings (such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 22, 60, 88, 99, etc.) on the surface of the chopstick handle 1 through processes such as engraving, inlaying, printing, pasting, and wrapping. This facilitates quick identification and allocation of chopsticks by users, ensuring that each pair of chopsticks corresponds to one user, achieving "one person, one number" meal management, preventing the mixing of chopsticks, and significantly improving dining hygiene. The outer wall of the mounting block 7 near the number block 8 is curved, creating a smooth transition between the mounting block 7 and the outer wall of the chopstick handle 1, avoiding sharp edges and reducing discomfort during use. At the same time, through process adaptability design (such as controlling the engraving depth, smoothing the edges of the inlays, or using non-toxic and environmentally friendly printing materials), the durability and safety of the markings are ensured. By choosing from a variety of marking techniques, we can flexibly adapt to different scenario requirements: for example, engraving is suitable for high-frequency cleaning scenarios, while wrapping can be combined with personalized decorations to enhance the user experience, further strengthen the visibility and practicality of number block 8, and make it easy for users to quickly identify it;

[0029] The anti-slip components increase friction between the chopstick handle 1 and the hand, improving comfort during use. The connecting components ensure that two chopsticks of the same number can be securely connected, facilitating pairing during washing and disinfection and preventing chopsticks from getting mixed up. This design reduces the workload of manual sorting after washing, improving washing efficiency and ensuring that each pair of chopsticks is clean and hygienic before use. The plug-in components allow users to easily replace damaged or worn chopstick handles 20 as needed, extending the lifespan of the chopsticks. It also facilitates the replacement of different utensil heads such as soup spoons and forks, improving the applicability and convenience of the device.

[0030] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned anti-slip components, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the anti-slip assembly includes an anti-slip sleeve 9 fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the annular groove 2, and multiple anti-slip strips 10 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the anti-slip sleeve 9.

[0031] As can be seen from the above, the combination design of anti-slip sleeve 9 and anti-slip strip 10 increases the friction between the chopstick handle 1 and the fingers, effectively preventing the chopsticks from slipping during use and improving the stability of use. The design of anti-slip strip 10 not only increases friction but also provides a better grip, making it more comfortable for users to use chopsticks.

[0032] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned connection components, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting assembly includes an annular block 5, and connecting blocks 6 are fixedly provided on the outer walls of both ends of the annular block 5. The outer wall of the fixed block 4 is provided with a connecting groove 11 that matches the connecting block 6. The connecting block 6 is cylindrical and has an external thread 12 on its outer wall. The inner wall of the connecting groove 11 is provided with a threaded groove 13 that matches the external thread 12.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, when the connecting block 6 is inserted into the connecting groove 11, the external thread 12 and the threaded groove 13 are used to make the fixing block 4 and the ring block 5 firmly connected, so that the two chopsticks with the same number can be connected and fixed together, thus making it easy to keep them in pairs during cleaning and disinfection and avoid mixing them together.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the plug-in assembly includes a slot 14 opened at the end of the chopstick handle 1 away from the fixing block 4, a connecting rod 16 is inserted into the slot 14, and a connector 15 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the end of the connecting rod 16 away from the slot 14. The outer wall of the connector 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chopstick handle 20.

[0036] A first magnet 17 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the slot 14, and a second magnet 18 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 16 away from the connector 15. The first magnet 17 and the second magnet 18 are magnetically connected.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the magnetic connection between the first magnet 17 and the second magnet 18 makes the installation and removal of the chopsticks handle 20 more convenient. Users can quickly replace the chopsticks handle 20. The attraction between the first magnet 17 and the second magnet 18 ensures the stability of the connection and prevents the chopsticks handle 20 from loosening or falling off during use. At the same time, it is convenient for users to replace damaged or worn chopsticks handles 20 as needed, extending the service life of the chopsticks. In addition, by setting different cutlery heads such as soup spoons and forks on the connector 15, the chopsticks handle 1 can be adapted to different dining environments, improving the applicability of the device and making it convenient to use.

[0038] Preferably, two positioning blocks 19 are fixedly provided on the outer side wall of the connecting rod 16. The two positioning blocks 19 are arranged symmetrically. The inner side wall of the slot 14 is provided with positioning grooves that are adapted to the positioning blocks 19. The two positioning blocks 19 are respectively inserted into the corresponding two positioning grooves.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, the use of positioning block 19 and positioning groove ensures that the connecting rod 16 is accurately positioned in slot 14, preventing rotation or displacement, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the connection.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
