Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spoon technology, and in particular to a spoon. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many cups have magnetic materials such as magnets inside for purposes such as making it easier to secure the lid, including but not limited to everyday items such as mugs. These commonly used cups are usually accompanied by a spoon during use.

[0003] However, the current way of storing spoons is usually to put them directly in the cup. After washing and using the cup, both the cup and the spoon usually have water on their surfaces. In this case, if the spoon is placed directly in the cup, the spoon will be in close contact with the cup wall. The water in the gap between the two will be trapped between them due to physical properties such as liquid surface tension and capillary action, forming water accumulation.

[0004] Spoons can easily breed bacteria after prolonged contact with stagnant water, posing hygiene and safety issues. Placing a spoon alone on a table also presents hygiene problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a spoon that solves the problem in related technologies where water easily accumulates between the cleaned spoon and the cup when stored.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A spoon includes a spoon body, the spoon body being provided with a magnetic attachment for adhering itself to a magnetic cup in the outside world;

[0008] The spoon body includes a handle, and the magnetic element is located on the handle;

[0009] The spoon handle is provided with a bent portion, and the magnetic element is located on the bent portion;

[0010] The bent part is rotatably connected to the spoon handle.

[0011] Furthermore, the spoon body has a hollow structure, and the magnetic suction element is located inside the spoon body.

[0012] Furthermore, the bent portion has an arched structure.

[0013] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided between the bent portion and the spoon handle.

[0014] Furthermore, the longitudinal section of the bent portion is a rectangular structure.

[0015] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This utility model's technical solution employs a magnetic attachment on the spoon, allowing it to be fixed to the outer wall of the cup, effectively preventing the spoon from being contaminated by external pollutants due to contact with the table surface.

[0017] At the same time, because this fixing method allows the spoon to hang on the cup, the spoon can drain water naturally by gravity, effectively preventing water residue on the spoon and thus preventing the growth of bacteria and other contaminants, thereby effectively improving the hygiene and safety of the spoon.

[0029] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a spoon, including a spoon body 1. The spoon body 1 is provided with a magnetic suction component 2 for adhering itself to a magnetic cup in the outside world. That is, by means of the magnetic suction component 2 on the spoon body 1 and the external cup, it is fixed to the cup, thereby fundamentally solving the problem that the spoon body 1 is easily contaminated by pollutants on the support surface when placed on a table or other support surface.

[0033] Preferably, in this embodiment, the spoon is fixed to the outer wall of the cup, so that the embodiment can be suspended on the cup. Then, with the help of gravity, the water on the spoon body 1 flows until it drips off the spoon body 1 (so that the spoon body 1 can drain water while being fixed to the cup), avoiding water residue on the spoon body 1 that could breed bacteria and effectively improving the hygiene and safety of this embodiment.

[0034] The spoon body 1 includes a handle 11 and a body. The magnetic component 2 is located on the handle 11. Compared with setting the magnetic component on the body, the handle 11 usually does not come into long-term contact with the contents of the cup, and usually does not come into contact with the mouth or teeth of the human body. This can effectively avoid the magnetic component 2 from needing to come into contact with other objects. This embodiment avoids some unstable factors to a certain extent (such as the magnetic component 2 breaking due to biting, the magnetic component 2 contaminating the contents of the cup, etc.).

[0035] Furthermore, in order to protect the magnetic component 2 and isolate it from contact with external objects, the spoon body 1 has a hollow structure, with the magnetic component 2 located inside the spoon body 1, so that the spoon body 1 itself can protect the magnetic component 2.

[0036] Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the spoon body 1 is made of materials such as ceramic that do not affect the magnetism of its internal magnetic components 2.

[0037] The spoon handle 11 is provided with a bent portion 111, and the magnetic component 2 is located on the bent portion 111. By "bending" the spoon handle 11, a protrusion is formed on the spoon handle 11, and the magnetic component 2 is located on the protrusion. This effectively avoids an excessively large contact area between the spoon body 1 and the cup wall when the spoon body 1 is attached to the cup wall, making it difficult for moisture on the spoon body 1 to remain between the spoon body 1 and the external cup, thus further improving the hygiene of this embodiment.

[0038] The bending part 111 has an arched structure, which ensures the overall strength of the bending part 111 while ensuring that its surface (inner surface and outer surface) is a smooth curved surface, thereby avoiding the existence of the bending part 111 from creating cleaning dead corners for the spoon body 1 and ensuring the hygiene of this embodiment.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, in this embodiment, the bent portion 111 is rotatably connected to the spoon handle 11. Correspondingly, the spoon handle includes a first handle and a second handle. Both sides of the bent portion 111 are provided with a rotating shaft for rotatably connecting with the first handle and the second handle. Both the first handle and the second handle are provided with a rotating hole for rotatably connecting the rotating shaft. The cross-section of each rotating shaft and each rotating hole is a "T" shaped structure. In this way, the position of the bent portion 111 can be constrained by the rotatable connection between the bent portion 111 and the spoon handle 11, so as to prevent the first handle, the second handle and the bent portion 111 from separating during use, and effectively ensure the integrity of the overall structure of this embodiment.

[0041] After the bending part 111 is rotatable, the interference between the spoon body 1 and the cup when fixing the spoon body 1 can be avoided by rotating the bending part 111, which is caused by the special shape of the cup body, thus improving the flexibility of use of this embodiment.

[0042] Meanwhile, a sealing ring 3 is provided between the bent part 111 and the spoon handle 11. The sealing effect of the sealing ring 3 prevents external objects, such as the contents of the cup, from entering the connection gap between the bent part 111 and the spoon handle 11 and causing contamination, thus ensuring the hygiene of this embodiment.

[0043] Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the sealing ring 3 is made of elastic sealing material such as silicone to avoid the presence of the sealing ring 3 affecting the normal rotation of the bending part 111; both the first handle and the second handle should be provided with mounting rings for installing the sealing ring 3, and each sealing ring 3 should be provided with a mounting groove for the mounting ring to be inserted. The mounting ring is preferably a polygonal structure. In this way, after the mounting ring and the mounting groove are interlocked, it is difficult to drive the sealing ring 3 to move when the bending part 111 is rotated, thereby avoiding the movement of each sealing ring 3 and affecting its sealing performance.

[0044] The longitudinal section of the bent part 111 is rectangular. Compared with the curved bent part 111, the rectangular bent part 111 can make contact with the external cup in the form of line contact, which avoids the contact area between the spoon body 1 and the external cup being too small, resulting in insufficient adsorption strength and affecting the reliability of fixation.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, such as Figure 8 As shown in this embodiment, when the distance between the bent part 111 and the spoon body is sufficient, the bent part 111 can be matched with the mouth of the outer cup, so that when the spoon body 1 is fixed on the outer cup, the outer cup can provide an additional support point for the spoon body 1, effectively improving the stability of the spoon body 1 fixed on the outer cup.
