Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of maternal and infant products technology, and in particular to a simple and easy-to-clean learning chopsticks. Background Technology

[0002] Training chopsticks are designed specifically for children to help them learn how to use chopsticks correctly. They typically have the following features: 1. Design Features: Most training chopsticks are shorter and lighter than regular chopsticks, and some feature finger rings or grooves to facilitate finger positioning and gripping by children. 2. Suitable Age: Suitable for children aged 18 months to 3 years, with adjustments made based on hand development and interest. 3. Educational Significance: Using chopsticks to teach children can promote hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills development, while also stimulating brain development. Most school chopsticks on the market cannot be disassembled for cleaning. Even if they can be disassembled, they often have many grooves inside, making them difficult to clean thoroughly. Alternatively, some chopsticks can be pulled out individually, but the retaining frame cannot be disassembled. Over time, these school chopsticks easily accumulate food residue and grease, making them difficult to clean and causing them to mold and smell. This can lead to children getting sick from eating moldy food. Although school chopsticks can be sterilized by boiling, boiling only kills bacteria and cannot remove residual grease and dirt. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a simple and easy-to-clean set of learning chopsticks that is structurally simple, can be disassembled into three parts for thorough cleaning, and has good resilience. To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A simple and easy-to-clean set of chopsticks for learning, including: The first chopstick body has a first connecting part at the upper part, and a first groove is formed on the outer side of the first connecting part; The second chopstick body has a second connecting part at the upper part, and a second groove is provided on the outer side of the second connecting part; The connecting sleeve has an annular rib inside. The connecting sleeve can be detachably surrounded by the first connecting part and the second connecting part, and the annular rib is engaged in the first groove and the second groove so that the first chopstick body can rotate relative to the second chopstick body. When the first groove and the second groove are relatively parallel, the learning chopsticks are in the first state; When the first groove and the second groove are inclined to each other, the learning chopsticks are in the second state and the connecting sleeve generates torque.

[0004] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention may also adopt the following further technical solutions: The inner side of the first connecting part is provided with a circular positioning block, and the inner side of the second connecting part is provided with a circular positioning groove. When the first connecting part and the second connecting part are surrounded by the connecting sleeve, the circular positioning block and the circular positioning groove contact each other to form the rotation axis of the first chopstick body and the second chopstick body.

[0005] The first groove extends through both ends of the first connecting part, and the second groove extends through both ends of the second connecting part.

[0006] Both ends of the first groove extend to the inner surface of the first connecting part, and both ends of the second groove extend to the inner surface of the second connecting part, so that the first groove and the second groove are U-shaped grooves with bent portions at both ends.

[0007] The connecting sleeve is made of elastic material. When the first groove and the second groove are inclined to each other, the annular ribs of the connecting sleeve deform to generate torque.

[0008] One side of the bent portion at both ends of the first groove and / or the second groove is an inclined wall, forming a groove with a gradually widening opening.

[0009] The inclined wall of the bent portion of the first groove and the inclined wall of the bent portion of the adjacent second groove are parallel to each other.

[0010] The first groove is distributed around the circumference of the first connecting part, and the second groove is distributed around the circumference of the second connecting part.

[0011] The connecting sleeve has a through groove extending through its upper and lower end faces, and the annular rib is provided on the inner surface of the through groove.

[0012] The first connecting part and the second connecting part have the same shape, and the first connecting part and the second connecting part are circular, square, hexagonal or irregular.

[0013] The lower inner sides of the first and second chopsticks are provided with serrated structures, which can help children using learning chopsticks to pick up food more easily.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects that this utility model can achieve are: This invention utilizes the tension generated by the convex ribs of the connecting sleeve when stretched, causing the sleeve to spring back when the chopsticks are released, allowing the training chopsticks to open quickly. This makes them suitable for children of different ages and easy for adults to disassemble and wash. The training chopsticks can be disassembled into three parts, allowing them to be dishwasher safe or hand-washed. This completely solves the problems of existing technologies where the chopsticks cannot be disassembled or thoroughly cleaned, and prevents food residue from remaining and causing mold, ensuring the user's health and safety. Furthermore, the simple structure of the training chopsticks makes them resistant to damage during use and frequent washing, and also prevents children from chewing them. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The chopsticks include a first chopstick body 1, a first connecting part 11, a first groove 12, a positioning block 13, a bent inclined wall 14 of the first groove, a second chopstick body 2, a second connecting part 21, a second groove 22, a positioning groove 23, a bent inclined wall 24 of the second groove, a connecting sleeve 3, an annular rib 31, and a through groove 32. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention provides a simple and easy-to-clean set of chopsticks for learning, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example 1, as Figure 1-7 As shown, a simple and easy-to-clean learning chopsticks includes three parts: a first chopstick body 1, a second chopstick body 2, and a connecting sleeve 3. These three parts can be disassembled from each other.

[0025] The first chopstick body 1 has a first connecting part 11 on its upper part and a first groove 12 on its outer side. The second chopstick body 2 has a second connecting part 21 on its upper part and a second groove 22 on its outer side.

[0026] Furthermore, the connecting sleeve 3 has an annular rib 31 inside. The connecting sleeve 3 can detachably surround the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21. When the chopsticks are in the assembled state, the annular rib 31 is engaged in the first groove 12 and the second groove 22 so that the first chopstick body 1 can rotate relative to the second chopstick body 2.

[0027] Specifically, when the first groove 12 and the second groove 22 are relatively parallel, the learning chopsticks are in the first state, that is, the chopsticks are in a relaxed state, at which time the opening angle of the first chopstick body 1 and the second chopstick body 2 is the largest.

[0028] At the same time, when the first groove 12 and the second groove 22 are relatively inclined to cross each other, the learning chopsticks are in the second state and the connecting sleeve 3 generates torque, that is, the state when the chopsticks pick up food. At this time, the user applies external force to the learning chopsticks, and the first chopstick body 1 and the second chopstick body 2 move closer to each other.

[0029] Furthermore, a circular positioning block 13 is provided on the inner side of the first connecting part 11, and a circular positioning groove 23 is provided on the inner side of the second connecting part 21. When the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21 are surrounded by the connecting sleeve 3, the circular positioning block 13 and the circular positioning groove 23 come into contact with each other, forming the rotation axis of the first chopstick body 1 and the second chopstick body 2.

[0030] Furthermore, the first groove 12 extends to both ends of the first connecting portion 11, and the second groove 22 extends to both ends of the second connecting portion 21.

[0031] Furthermore, both ends of the first groove 12 extend to the inner surface of the first connecting part 11, and both ends of the second groove 22 extend to the inner surface of the second connecting part 21, so that the first groove 12 and the second groove 22 are U-shaped grooves with bent ends, which allows the annular rib 31 to be completely engaged in the first groove 12 and the second groove 22.

[0032] Furthermore, the connecting sleeve 3 is made of elastic material. When the first groove 12 and the second groove 22 are inclined to each other, the annular rib 31 of the connecting sleeve 3 deforms to generate torque, which enables the learning chopsticks to have an outward restoring force.

[0033] Furthermore, one side of the bent portion at both ends of the first groove 12 and the second groove 22 is an inclined wall, forming a groove with a gradually widening opening, which is a right-angled trapezoidal shape.

[0034] Furthermore, the inclined wall 14 of the bent portion of the first groove and the inclined wall 24 of the bent portion of the adjacent second groove are parallel to each other.

[0035] Furthermore, the first groove 12 is distributed around the circumference center of the first connecting part 11, and the second groove 22 is distributed around the circumference center of the second connecting part 21. At this time, the torque of the connecting sleeve 3 is the greatest and the fit is more secure, making it less likely to come off.

[0036] Furthermore, the connecting sleeve 3 has a through groove 32 that runs through its upper and lower end faces, and an annular rib 31 is provided on the inner surface of the through groove 32. The design of the through groove 32 makes it easier to clean the connecting sleeve 3.

[0037] Furthermore, the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21 have the same shape. In this embodiment, the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21 are circular, but they can also be designed into square, hexagonal or irregular shapes according to actual needs.

[0038] Furthermore, the lower inner sides of the first chopstick body 1 and the second chopstick body 2 are provided with a serrated structure, which can help children using learning chopsticks to pick up food more easily.

[0039] This utility model has been illustrated and described with reference to preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail are possible within the scope of the claims.
