Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food clip technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional food clip. Background Technology

[0002] Food tongs are kitchen utensils used to pick up food. Currently, food tongs on the market generally consist of two clamping arms, the upper ends of which are connected as one piece by an elastic element. When the hand squeezes the two clamping arms to bring them closer together, the lower ends of the two clamping arms can clamp the food. However, the above-mentioned food tongs can only be used to pick up food, thus having the disadvantage of being single-function. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a multifunctional food tong that can be used not only as a food tong but also as a stirring component, thus having the advantage of multiple functions.

[0004] This utility model provides a multifunctional food clamp, including a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm; the lower end of the first clamping arm forms a first clamping part, and the lower end of the second clamping arm forms a second clamping part; the upper ends of the first clamping arm and the upper ends of the second clamping arm are detachably connected; when the upper ends of the first clamping arm and the upper ends of the second clamping arm are separated, the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are used as stirring components; when the upper ends of the first clamping arm and the upper ends of the second clamping arm are assembled, an angle is formed between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, and the first clamping part and the second clamping part are used to cooperate in clamping food.

[0005] By adopting the above structure, this utility model can be used as a food clamp when the upper ends of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are assembled. When the upper ends of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are separated, both the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm can be used as stirring components, thus having the advantage of multiple functions.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the upper end of the first clamping arm is provided with a hook, and the inner side of the hook forms a groove with a notch at its lower edge, the inner diameter of which is larger than the width of the notch; the upper end of the second clamping arm is provided with a snap-fit ​​post, the outer diameter of which is larger than the thickness of the second clamping arm; the snap-fit ​​post is snapped into the groove from front to back, and the upper end of the second clamping arm slides into the notch; with this structure, after the snap-fit ​​post is snapped into the groove from front to back, the upper end of the second clamping arm can also slide into the notch, at which point the upper end of the second clamping arm can engage with the groove. The upper end of the first clamping arm is connected, and at the same time, the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm can form a certain angle. When the hand presses the second clamping arm and the first clamping arm to drive the second clamping arm and the first clamping arm to move closer to each other, the second clamping part and the first clamping part can cooperate to clamp the object. When the locking pin disengages from the slot from back to front, the upper end of the second clamping arm can be disengaged from the slot, thereby realizing the separation of the second clamping arm and the first clamping arm. At this time, both the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm can be used as stirring parts to stir the object.

[0007] In one possible implementation, a plug-in post is provided on the outer side of the upper part of the first clamping arm, and a plug hole is provided on the upper part of the second clamping arm. When the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are separated and stored, the plug-in post is inserted into the plug hole and fits tightly with the plug hole. With the above structure, when the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are separated and the second clamping arm is placed on the outer side of the first clamping arm, the plug-in post can be inserted into the plug hole to realize the storage and assembly of the second clamping arm and the first clamping arm. That is, in this state, the second clamping arm and the first clamping arm can be stored, and the hook on the first clamping arm can be suspended on the hook to realize the suspension and storage of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm.

[0008] In one possible implementation, both the first gripping part and the second gripping part form an arc-shaped structure from top to bottom. With this structure, after the second gripping arm and the first gripping arm are separated, the arc-shaped first gripping part and the arc-shaped second gripping part can more easily scoop up the food, such as scooping up the yolk from the egg white, or scooping up rice from the container.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the first gripping portion is provided with a plurality of first opening grooves with lower openings, the plurality of first opening grooves being spaced apart from front to back, the plurality of first opening grooves being used to divide the first gripping portion into a plurality of first grippers; the second gripping portion is provided with a plurality of second opening grooves with lower openings, the plurality of second opening grooves being spaced apart from front to back, the plurality of second opening grooves being used to divide the second gripping portion into a plurality of second grippers; by adopting this structure, after the second gripping arm and the first gripping arm are separated, since each pair of adjacent first grippers is separated by the first opening grooves, thereby scooping up the first gripping portion. When picking up food, such as the yolk of an egg white, the egg white can flow out through the first opening groove to separate the yolk from the egg white, or to separate the food from the broth. Similarly, since each pair of adjacent second claws is separated by the second opening groove, when picking up food, such as the yolk of an egg white, at the second gripping part, the egg white can flow out through the second opening groove to separate the yolk from the egg white, or to separate the food from the broth. In addition, by adopting the above structure, the first gripping arm with the first gripping part and the second gripping arm with the second gripping part can be used as a fork.

[0010] In one possible implementation, each first gripper has a first through hole extending along its length at its center, and each second gripper has a second through hole extending along its length at its center. The first through hole enhances the structural strength of the first gripper, i.e., increases its fracture resistance, and allows the juices from the egg white or other food to flow out through the first through hole when the first gripper scoops up the yolk or other food. Similarly, the second through hole enhances the structural strength of the second gripper, i.e., increases its fracture resistance, and allows the juices from the egg white or other food to flow out through the second through hole when the second gripper scoops up the yolk or other food.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the inner wall of the first gripping part is provided with a plurality of first anti-slip protrusions arranged in an array; the inner and outer walls of the second gripping part are provided with a plurality of second anti-slip protrusions arranged in an array. With this structure, when the first gripping part and the second gripping part cooperate to grip food, the friction between the first gripping part and the food can be increased under the action of the first anti-slip protrusions, and the friction between the second gripping part and the food can be increased under the action of the second anti-slip protrusions, thereby making it easier for the first gripping part and the second gripping part to grip the food, and preventing the food from slipping between the first gripping part and the second gripping part.

[0019] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0020] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] See Figure 1-5As shown in the figure, this application discloses a multifunctional food clamp, including a first clamping arm 1 and a second clamping arm 2; the lower end of the first clamping arm 1 forms a first clamping part 11, and the lower end of the second clamping arm 2 forms a second clamping part 21; the upper end of the first clamping arm 1 and the upper end of the second clamping arm 2 are detachably connected; when the upper end of the first clamping arm 1 and the upper end of the second clamping arm 2 are separated, the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 are used as stirring components; when the upper ends of the first clamping arm 1 and the upper ends of the second clamping arm 2 are assembled, an angle is formed between the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2, and the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 are used to cooperate in clamping food.

[0022] See you again Figure 1-3 As shown, the upper end of the first clamping arm 1 is provided with a hook 12, and the inner side of the hook 12 forms a slot 122 with a groove 121 on its lower edge. The inner diameter of the slot 122 is larger than the width of the groove 121. The upper end of the second clamping arm 2 is provided with a locking post 22, and the outer diameter of the locking post 22 is larger than the thickness of the second clamping arm 2. The locking post 22 is inserted into the slot 122 from front to back, and the upper end of the second clamping arm 2 slides into the groove 121. With this structure, after the locking post is inserted into the slot from front to back, the upper end of the second clamping arm can also slide into the groove. When the upper end of the second clamping arm is connected to the upper end of the first clamping arm, a certain angle can be formed between the first and second clamping arms. When the hand presses the second and first clamping arms to drive them closer to each other, the second and first clamping parts can cooperate to clamp the object. When the locking pin disengages from the slot from back to front, the upper end of the second clamping arm can be disengaged from the slot, thus realizing the separation of the second and first clamping arms. At this time, both the first and second clamping arms can be used as stirring components to stir the object.

[0023] See you again Figure 4-5 As shown, a plug-in post 13 is provided on the outer side of the upper part of the first clamping arm 1, and a plug hole 23 is provided on the upper part of the second clamping arm 2. When the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 are separated and stored, the plug-in post 13 is inserted into the plug hole 23 and tightly fitted with the plug hole 23. With the above structure, when the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are separated and the second clamping arm is placed on the outside of the first clamping arm, the plug-in post can be inserted into the plug hole to realize the storage and assembly of the second clamping arm and the first clamping arm. That is, in this state, the second clamping arm and the first clamping arm can be stored, and the hook on the first clamping arm can be hung on the hook to realize the hanging storage of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm.

[0024] See you again Figure 1-5As shown, both the first gripping part 11 and the second gripping part 21 form an arc-shaped structure from top to bottom. With this structure, after the second gripping arm and the first gripping arm are separated, the arc-shaped first gripping part and the arc-shaped second gripping part can more easily scoop up the food, such as scooping up the yolk from the egg white, or scooping up the rice from the container.

[0025] See you again Figure 1-5 As shown, the first gripping part 11 is provided with a plurality of first opening grooves 111 with lower openings, which are spaced apart from front to back, and are used to divide the first gripping part 11 to form a plurality of first grippers 112; the second gripping part 21 is provided with a plurality of second opening grooves 211 with lower openings, which are spaced apart from front to back, and are used to divide the second gripping part 21 to form a plurality of second grippers 212; by adopting this structure, after the second gripping arm and the first gripping arm are separated, since each pair of adjacent first grippers is separated by the first opening grooves... The first gripper opens, allowing the egg white to flow out through the first opening groove when scooping up food, such as the yolk of an egg white, at the first gripping part, thus separating the yolk from the egg white, or separating the food from the broth. Similarly, since each pair of adjacent second grippers is separated by the second opening groove, the second gripper allows the egg white to flow out through the second opening groove when scooping up food, such as the yolk of an egg white, at the second gripping part, thus separating the yolk from the egg white, or separating the food from the broth. Furthermore, by adopting the above structure, the first gripper arm with the first gripping part and the second gripper arm with the second gripping part can be used as a fork.

[0026] See you again Figure 1-5 As shown, each first gripper 112 has a first through hole 113 extending along the length direction of the first gripper 112 in its middle part, and each second gripper 212 has a second through hole 213 extending along the length direction of the second gripper 212 in its middle part. The first through hole improves the structural strength of the first gripper, that is, it improves the fracture resistance of the first gripper, and when the first gripping part scoops up the egg yolk or other food, the juice in the egg white or other food can flow out through the first through hole. Similarly, the second through hole improves the structural strength of the second gripper, that is, it improves the fracture resistance of the second gripper, and when the second gripping part scoops up the egg yolk or other food, the juice in the egg white or other food can flow out through the second through hole.

[0027] See you again Figure 3 As shown, in Figure 3In this configuration, the second clamping arm can also be assembled in reverse relative to the first clamping arm. That is, after the second clamping arm is reversed relative to the first clamping arm and the locking pin is engaged in the slot, the assembly of the second clamping arm and the first clamping arm can be achieved.

[0028] See you again Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the first gripping part 11 is provided with a plurality of first anti-slip protrusions 114 arranged in an array; the inner wall and outer wall of the second gripping part 21 are provided with a plurality of second anti-slip protrusions 214 arranged in an array. With this structure, when the first gripping part and the second gripping part cooperate to grip food, the friction between the first gripping part and the food can be increased under the action of the first anti-slip protrusions, and the friction between the second gripping part and the food can be increased under the action of the second anti-slip protrusions, so that the first gripping part and the second gripping part can easily grip the food, and the food can be prevented from slipping between the first gripping part and the second gripping part.

[0029] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
