Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of training aids technology, specifically a dual anti-misalignment training aid for children. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of children's daily training tools, assistive tools that help children learn to use chopsticks have always been an important research direction. These tools aim to reduce the difficulty for children to use chopsticks through structural design and cultivate correct holding and picking habits.

[0003] Existing chopstick aids for children have some shortcomings in actual use: some products have a fixed chopstick angle, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to different gripping postures of children, resulting in poor adaptability; the contact between the chopstick and the connecting parts is mostly hard, which can easily lead to wear and tear of the parts due to friction after long-term use, shortening the service life; the anti-misalignment function is weak, and the chopstick is prone to excessive misalignment when picking up items, resulting in unreasonable gripping distance, making it difficult for children to accurately pick up food, and making it difficult to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a dual anti-misalignment child training aid to solve the problems of the fact that the contact between the chopsticks and connecting parts is mostly hard, which easily leads to wear and tear of the parts due to friction after long-term use, shortening the service life; the anti-misalignment function is weak, and the chopsticks are prone to excessive misalignment when picking up items, resulting in unreasonable picking distance, making it difficult for children to accurately pick up food, and making it difficult to use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dual anti-misalignment child training aid, comprising: chopsticks and a circumferential anti-misalignment structure, wherein the circumferential anti-misalignment structure is sleeved on the outside of the chopsticks, wherein there are two sets of chopsticks, and the upper ends of the two sets of chopsticks are provided with silicone bodies. Circular grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom of the silicone bodies, and the inner cavity of the circular grooves is slidably connected to the outside of the chopsticks. This slidable connection method allows the chopsticks to flexibly adjust the angle according to the child's grip posture, adapting to the hand movement habits of different children, while avoiding hard friction between the chopsticks and the silicone bodies, thus extending the service life of the components;

[0006] The inner cavity of the silicone body is connected to raised anti-misalignment points on both sides. The raised anti-misalignment points include left teeth and right teeth, and the left teeth and right teeth mesh with each other. The meshing structure can limit the excessive misalignment of the two sets of chopsticks when picking up items, ensuring that the chopsticks always maintain a relatively reasonable picking distance, helping children to accurately pick up food and reducing the difficulty of use. The accessory is provided with a limit block between the accessory and the chopsticks. The chopsticks have a locking groove on the outside. Magnets are movably embedded in the outside of the two limit blocks through the storage groove, and the two sets of magnets attract each other.

[0007] The silicone body has rounded edges on the outside, which eliminates sharp edges and prevents children from being scratched while holding or using it, thus improving safety. The upper end of the silicone body has a decorative piece in a cartoon shape, which increases the fun of using the aid. The top of the decorative piece is also rounded to prevent children from getting poked or injured while using it.

[0008] The anti-misalignment structure includes a mounting kit, which is installed on the outside of the chopsticks. The mounting kit can stably fix the anti-misalignment structure on the chopsticks without hindering the normal opening and closing action of the chopsticks, ensuring that the anti-misalignment structure can continuously play its role in preventing misalignment.

[0009] Preferably, the silicone body consists of two rows of neatly arranged left-side protrusions and a row of right-side protrusions in the middle of the right side. The left-side and right-side protrusions are staggered and form a semi-enclosed staggered wrapping structure on the outside of the two sets of chopsticks. This staggered semi-enclosed structure can increase the contact area between the silicone body and the child's hand, conform to the hand's grip curvature, and improve grip comfort. At the same time, the mutual limiting of the protrusions further restricts the lateral displacement of the chopsticks, preventing the chopsticks from spreading to the sides during the gripping process, strengthening the anti-misalignment effect, and making it easier for children to master the correct chopstick gripping posture.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-misalignment structure consists of two semi-circular rings, which are slidably mounted on the outside of the chopsticks. The two semi-circular rings form a double-ring constraint from the outside of the chopsticks, reducing vertical misalignment. The sliding design of the assembly allows the height of the anti-misalignment structure to be adjusted according to the size of a child's hand, adapting to the needs of children of different ages. The limiting block prevents the assembly from sliding arbitrarily during use, ensuring the fixed position of the anti-misalignment structure and preventing weakening of the anti-misalignment effect due to positional displacement, thus ensuring stability during use. The magnets are movably embedded on both sides of the outer side of the anti-misalignment structure. When the chopsticks are closed, the magnets at corresponding positions on the two semi-circular rings have opposite magnetic properties, achieving an attraction effect, thus facilitating folding and storage.

[0011] Preferably, the outer surface of the silicone body is integrally molded with a cartoon design, and the bottom of the cartoon design is rounded. The cartoon design can attract children's attention, increase children's interest in using the training aid, and reduce children's resistance to learning to use chopsticks. The integral molding structure has no splicing gaps, reduces dirt residue, facilitates daily cleaning, and ensures hygiene. The rounded bottom corners cooperate with the rounded edges of the silicone body to further improve overall safety, prevent children from being scratched by sharp parts when touching the cartoon design, and make the design more in line with children's aesthetic preferences.

[0012] Preferably, both the silicone body and the outer surface of the anti-misalignment structure are smooth curved surfaces, and both the silicone body and the outer surface of the anti-misalignment structure are provided with anti-slip sleeves. The smooth curved surfaces can reduce the frictional resistance between the hand and the parts, avoid discomfort or skin abrasion to children's hands due to prolonged holding, and improve the comfort of use. The anti-slip sleeves can increase the friction between the hand and the assistive device, so that even if the child's hands are sweaty, they can hold it stably and prevent the assistive device from slipping out of their hands, ensuring stability when gripping items. At the same time, the anti-slip sleeves are made of soft material, which can cushion the pressure of hand gripping, and the anti-slip sleeves can be removed and replaced separately for easy maintenance and cleaning.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the circumferential anti-misalignment structure has evenly distributed fitting grooves along the circumferential direction, and the outer side of the circumferential anti-misalignment structure has protrusions that match the fitting grooves. The fitting grooves on the inner wall can fit snugly with the fine structure on the outer side of the chopsticks, reducing the gap between the circumferential anti-misalignment structure and the chopsticks, preventing the chopsticks from wobbling in the grooves, and enhancing the anti-misalignment effect. The external protrusions can improve the tactile feel when holding the chopsticks, helping children accurately perceive the position of the circumferential anti-misalignment structure and making it easier to adjust their grip. At the same time, the protrusions can play a certain role in preventing slippage, and the matching design of the fitting grooves and protrusions makes the overall structure of the circumferential anti-misalignment structure more stable, less prone to deformation, and extends the product's service life.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a dual anti-misalignment child training aid, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This dual anti-misalignment child training aid uses a sliding connection between the silicone body and the chopsticks. This allows the chopsticks to flexibly adjust their angle according to the child's grip posture, adapting to different children's hand movement habits. It also prevents hard friction between the chopsticks and the silicone body, extending the lifespan of the components. The raised anti-misalignment points on both sides of the silicone body, through the meshing structure of the left and right teeth, limit excessive misalignment between the two sets of chopsticks when picking up items, ensuring that the chopsticks always maintain a relatively reasonable gripping distance. This helps children accurately pick up food and reduces the difficulty of use. The position of the anti-misalignment structure can be adjusted by the limiting blocks, allowing for different settings to suit children with different hand sizes and improving the overall applicability of the device. At the same time, magnets are movably embedded in the exterior of the limiting blocks through storage slots. By rotating the position of the limiting blocks, the state of the two sets of magnets can be adjusted to make the two sets of chopsticks repel or attract each other, thereby improving the chopsticks' usability.

[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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A dual anti-misalignment child training aid includes: chopstick body 1 and a wrap-around anti-misalignment structure 2. The wrap-around anti-misalignment structure 2 is sleeved on the outside of the chopstick body 1. There are two sets of chopstick body 1. The upper end of the two sets of chopstick body 1 is provided with silicone body 3. The bottom sides of the silicone body 3 are provided with circular grooves. The inner cavity of the circular groove is slidably connected to the outside of the chopstick body 1. This sliding connection method allows the chopstick body 1 to flexibly adjust the angle according to the child's grip posture, adapt to the different hand movement habits of children, and at the same time avoid hard friction between the chopstick body 1 and the silicone body 3, thus extending the service life of the components.

[0023] The inner cavity of the silicone body 3 is connected to raised anti-misalignment points 4 on both sides. The raised anti-misalignment points 4 include left teeth and right teeth, and the left teeth and right teeth mesh together. The meshing structure can limit the excessive misalignment of the two sets of chopsticks 1 when picking up items, ensuring that the chopsticks 1 always maintain a relatively reasonable picking distance, helping children to pick up food accurately and reducing the difficulty of use.

[0024] The silicone body 3 has rounded edges 31 on its exterior. The rounded edges 31 can eliminate the sharp parts of the silicone body 3's edges, preventing children from being scratched during gripping or use, and improving safety. The upper end of the silicone body 3 has a decorative piece 32 with a cartoon shape, which increases the fun of using this aid. The top of the decorative piece 32 has a rounded corner design to prevent children from being poked or injured during use.

[0025] The anti-misalignment structure 2 includes a mounting bracket 21, which is disposed on the outside of the chopstick body 1. The mounting bracket 21 can stably fix the anti-misalignment structure 2 on the chopstick body 1 without obstructing the normal opening and closing action of the chopstick body 1, thus ensuring that the anti-misalignment structure 2 continues to play its anti-misalignment role.

[0026] The silicone body 3 consists of two rows of neatly arranged left-side protrusions and a row of right-side protrusions in the middle of the right side. The left-side and right-side protrusions are staggered and form a semi-enclosed staggered wrapping structure on the outside of the two sets of chopsticks 1. This staggered semi-enclosed structure can increase the contact area between the silicone body 3 and the child's hand, conform to the hand's grip curvature, and improve grip comfort. At the same time, through the mutual limiting of the protrusions, the lateral displacement of the chopsticks 1 is further restricted, preventing the chopsticks 1 from spreading to the sides during the gripping process, strengthening the anti-misalignment effect, and making it easier for children to master the correct chopstick gripping posture.

[0027] The accessory 21 is set on the outside of the chopstick body 1. A limiting block 22 is set between the accessory 21 and the chopstick body 1. A locking groove 11 is opened on the outside of the chopstick body 1. Magnets 23 are movably embedded in the outside of the two limiting blocks 22 through the storage groove, and the two sets of magnets 23 attract each other.

[0028] First, adjust the height of the wraparound anti-mistake structure 2, and then fix the position of the wraparound anti-mistake structure 2 by setting the limit block 22, so that the wraparound anti-mistake structure 2 can be set in different positions, thus making it convenient for children with different hand shapes to use.

[0029] The design of multiple locking slots 11 allows the limiting block 22 to adjust the height of the anti-misoperation structure 2. The limiting block 22 can rotate relative to the chopstick body 1. When the magnets 23 on the outside of the two limiting blocks 22 are in an attractive state, the position of the chopstick body 1 can be closed, making it convenient to store the chopstick body 1. The magnets can be removed during use to avoid affecting children's use.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the anti-misalignment structure 2 is composed of two semi-circular rings, and the accessory 21 is slidably disposed on the outside of the chopstick body 1. The two semi-circular rings can form a double-ring constraint from the outside of the chopstick body 1, reducing the vertical misalignment of the chopstick body 1. The sliding design of the accessory 21 allows the height of the anti-misalignment structure 2 to be adjusted according to the size of the child's hand, adapting to the usage needs of children of different ages. The limiting block 22 can prevent the accessory 21 from sliding arbitrarily during use, ensuring that the position of the anti-misalignment structure 2 is fixed, avoiding the weakening of the anti-misalignment effect due to positional displacement, and ensuring stability during use. The magnets 23 are movably embedded on the outer sides of the anti-misalignment structure 2. When the chopstick body 1 is closed, the magnets 23 disposed at corresponding positions on the two semi-circular rings have opposite magnetic properties and achieve an attraction effect, thereby facilitating folding and storage.

[0032] This design features a cartoon-shaped decorative piece 32 integrally molded on the exterior of the silicone body 3. The bottom of the cartoon shape is rounded, which attracts children's attention, increases their interest in using the training aid, and reduces their resistance to learning to use chopsticks. The one-piece molding structure has no seams, reduces dirt residue, facilitates daily cleaning, and ensures hygiene. The rounded bottom corners complement the rounded edges 31 of the silicone body 3, further enhancing overall safety and preventing children from being scratched by sharp parts when touching the cartoon shape. It also makes the design more in line with children's aesthetic preferences.

[0033] Both the silicone body 3 and the surrounding anti-mis-grip structure 2 have smooth curved surfaces on their exteriors, and both are equipped with anti-slip sleeves. The smooth curved surfaces reduce frictional resistance between the hand and the parts, preventing discomfort or skin abrasion to children's hands due to prolonged gripping, thus improving user comfort. The anti-slip sleeves increase friction between the hand and the assistive device, allowing for stable gripping even when children's hands are sweaty, preventing the assistive device from slipping from their hands and ensuring stability when gripping items. At the same time, the soft material of the anti-slip sleeves can cushion the pressure of hand gripping, and the anti-slip sleeves can be removed and replaced separately for easy maintenance and cleaning.

[0034] The inner wall of the anti-misalignment structure 2 has evenly distributed fitting grooves along the circumference, and the outer side of the anti-misalignment structure 2 has protrusions that match the fitting grooves. The fitting grooves on the inner wall can fit into the fine structure on the outer side of the chopstick body 1, reducing the gap between the anti-misalignment structure 2 and the chopstick body 1, preventing the chopstick body 1 from shaking in the groove, and enhancing the anti-misalignment effect. The external protrusions can improve the tactile feel when holding the chopstick, helping children accurately perceive the position of the anti-misalignment structure 2 and making it easier to adjust their grip. At the same time, the protrusions can play a certain role in preventing slippage. The matching design of the fitting grooves and protrusions makes the overall structure of the anti-misalignment structure 2 more stable, less prone to deformation, and extends the product's service life.

[0035] The raised anti-misalignment point 4 is a single row of teeth. When the chopstick body 1 is in use, the raised anti-misalignment point 4 of the single row of teeth will fit together and interlock, thereby improving the overall stability of the chopstick body 1 and preventing the chopstick body 1 from being misaligned during use.

[0036] The raised anti-misalignment point 4 has double rows of teeth. When the chopstick body 1 is in use, the raised anti-misalignment point 4 of the double rows of teeth will interlock and fit together, thereby greatly improving the overall stability of the chopstick body 1.
