[0018] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0019] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1-4This utility model provides a novel food clamp, including a first clamping body 1 and a second clamping body 2. The first clamping body and the second clamping body are pivotally connected together by a pivot 3. The first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 2 can be rotated relative to each other to open and close. A first elastic element 4 is provided between the first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 2 to support the first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 2. An opening and closing assembly is provided between the tail ends of the first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 2. The opening and closing assembly includes a fixed base 5, a movable base 6, a press-type lock, and a second elastic element 7. The fixed base 5 has a mounting hole 8 that connects to the pivot 3. The movable seat 6 can slide outward relative to the fixed seat 5. A limiting structure is provided between the movable seat 6 and the fixed seat 5 to limit the sliding distance of the movable seat 6. The second elastic member 7 abuts against the movable seat 6 and applies an outward sliding force to the movable seat. The push-type lock is used to fasten the movable seat 6 and the fixed seat 5 to limit the outward sliding of the movable seat. At least a portion of the movable seat 6 is exposed at the tail of the first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 2. The movable seat 6 is provided with a first limiting part 9. When the movable seat 6 slides outward, the first limiting part 9 abuts against the inner wall of the first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 2 to limit the opening of the first clamping body and the second clamping body. In specific operation, if the food tongs are in the clamping state at this time, the user holds the food tongs and presses the exposed end of the movable seat, so that the push-type lock locks the fixed seat and the movable seat, so that the first limiting part no longer abuts against the inner wall of the first clamping body and the second clamping body. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member, the first clamping body and the second clamping body are opened, allowing the user to use the food tongs normally. When the food tongs are in the open position, the user presses the exposed end of the movable seat with the food tongs, triggering the press-type lock and unlocking it. The movable seat slides outward under the elastic force of the second elastic element, simultaneously causing the first limiting part to abut against the inner walls of the first and second clamping bodies, thereby restricting the rotation and opening of the first and second clamping bodies and keeping the food tongs in the clamped state. Preferably, the press-type lock includes a lock body 14 and a hook body 15. The lock body 14 is mounted on the fixed base 5, and the hook body 15 is disposed on the movable base 6.

[0020] The movable seat 6 is provided with a sliding groove 10, which extends along the sliding direction of the movable seat. The fixed seat 5 is provided with a second limiting part 11 passing through the sliding groove. The sliding groove and the second limiting part form the limiting structure. This structure can determine the maximum sliding stroke of the movable seat and prevent the movable seat from detaching. Specifically, the second limiting part 11 is a limiting post. The limiting post has a shaft hole and is connected to the pivot 3 through the shaft hole, so that the second limiting part is assembled on the pivot without the need for additional structures to install and fix the second limiting part.

[0021] The limiting post is provided with a first positioning post 12, and the slide groove 10 is provided with a second positioning post 13 opposite to the first positioning post. The second elastic element 7 is a spring and is provided in the slide groove 10. The two ends of the spring are respectively sleeved on the first positioning post 12 and the second positioning post 13, which can prevent the spring from disengaging or shifting during compression and recovery deformation, and play a positioning role to ensure that the spring always remains against the movable seat.

[0022] The first elastic element 4 is a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the pivot 3. The two ends of the torsion spring abut against the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 respectively. The torsion spring has the advantage of being easy to install.

[0023] The movable seat 6 is provided with a sliding joint 16, and the fixed seat 5 has a sliding part 17 that slides in cooperation with the sliding joint. With the sliding joint in cooperation with the sliding part, the degree of cooperation between the movable seat and the fixed seat when sliding can be improved, and the sliding direction of the movable seat can be guided.

[0024] The movable seat 6 is provided with a pressing head 61 on the end exposed to the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2. The pressing head can be of various shapes, such as spherical, cylindrical, cat paw-shaped, triangular, dog paw-shaped, etc., and there is no limitation here.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Any equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the content disclosed in the present utility model should be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
