Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of straw technology, specifically to an integrated biodegradable straw. Background Technology

[0002] A straw is a tubular tool used to draw liquid from a container into the mouth using atmospheric pressure. It is typically made of plastic, paper, or other materials. Straws can be categorized into several types based on their environmental performance, such as traditional plastic straws, paper straws, bamboo straws, and biodegradable straws.

[0003] Biodegradable straws are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic straws, primarily aimed at reducing plastic pollution while meeting everyday needs. Biodegradable straws are typically made from biodegradable plastic resins or natural polymers, such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polybutylene succinate (PBS). These materials can be broken down into carbon dioxide and water by microorganisms in the natural environment, thus reducing pollution.

[0004] However, the existing biodegradable straws are still a drawback, as they are long and thin tubes that cannot be bent and are not convenient to use.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs an integrated biodegradable straw to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated biodegradable straw to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated biodegradable straw, comprising a biodegradable straw body, the straw body including an insertion section, a bending section, and a sucking section, the bending section being fixedly connected to the insertion section, the sucking section being fixedly connected to the bending section, the bending section being between the insertion section and the sucking section, a fixing tube being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bending section, the fixing tube being between the insertion section and the sucking section, the fixing tube being fitted with a bending rod, one end of the bending rod being fixedly connected to one end of the fixing tube, and the other end of the bending rod being spaced apart from the other end of the fixing tube by a certain gap.

[0008] Preferably, a protective sleeve is fixedly connected to one end of the curved rod near the suction section, and the protective sleeve abuts against the inner wall of the fixed tube.

[0009] Preferably, the bending rod is made of iron wire.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing tube is made of a novel biodegradable rubber.

[0011] Preferably, the curved section is made of a folded tube.

[0012] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects: When in use, the tube body is bent towards the side of the fixed tube by external force. Under the action of the fixed tube, the bending rod and the folding tube, the bent section is bent. The folding tube makes the folding of the bent section more convenient. The bending rod and the fixed tube make the bent section bend. When the bent section is bent and there is no external force, the bending angle of the bent section is not easy to change. In this way, there is a certain angle between the insertion section and the sucking section, which makes it more convenient to use and achieves the effect of making the use of biodegradable straws more convenient.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0022] An integrated biodegradable straw includes a biodegradable straw body, comprising an insertion section 4, a curved section 3, and a drinking section 1. The curved section 3 is fixedly connected to the insertion section 4 and is located between the insertion section 4 and the drinking section 1. The drinking section 1 is fixedly connected to the curved section 3. The insertion section 4 can be inserted into a cup or other object. The curved section 3 allows adjustment of the straw's drinking angle, ultimately enabling the drinking section 1 to draw liquid from the cup or other object.

[0023] A fixing tube 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bending section 3, between the insertion section 4 and the suction section 1. A bending rod 6 is sleeved in the fixing tube 2, with one end of the bending rod 6 fixedly connected to one end of the fixing tube 2, and the other end of the bending rod 6 separated from the other end of the fixing tube 2 by a certain gap. The bending rod 6 is made of iron wire, which can deform under force and easily return to its original shape under external force. When the bending section 3 is bent, the bending angle of the bending section 3 does not easily change under the action of the iron wire.

[0024] The bending section 3 is made of a folded tube. During use, an external force is applied to bend the tube towards the side of the fixed tube 2. Because the bending section 3 is made of a folded tube, the bending tube is bent, forming an angle between the suction section 1 and the insertion section 4, making the tube easier to use. At the same time, under the action of the fixed tube 2 and the bending rod 6, the bending angle of the bending section 3 is more stable, and the bending angle of the bending section 3 is not easily changed without the action of external force.

[0025] A protective sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the bending rod 6 near the suction section 1. The protective sleeve 5 abuts against the inner wall of the fixed tube 2 and plays a protective role. When the bending section 3 is bent, the bending rod 6 will move on the inner wall of the fixed tube 2 under the action of bending deformation. The protective sleeve 5 can reduce the friction between the bending rod 6 and the inner wall of the fixed tube 2.

[0026] Both ends of the fixing tube 2 are provided with beveled surfaces. The beveled surfaces can reduce the resistance when the bent section 3 is inserted into the cup, making it easier to insert the bent section 3 into the cup or beverage. The fixing tube 2 is made of a new type of biodegradable rubber, which allows the fixing tube 2 to degrade while also allowing it to bend and deform due to the properties of rubber, facilitating the bending of the bent section 3.

[0027] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the tube body is bent toward the side of the fixed tube 2 by external force. Under the action of the fixed tube 2, the bending rod 6 and the folding tube, the bending section 3 is bent. The folding tube makes it easier to fold the bending section 3. The bending rod 6 and the fixed tube 2 make the bending section 3 bend. When the bending section 3 is bent and there is no external force, the bending angle of the bending section 3 is not easy to change. In this way, there is a certain angle between the insertion section 4 and the sucking section 1, which makes it more convenient to use and achieves the effect of making the use of biodegradable straws more convenient.
