Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of powder container components, specifically to a spoon. Background Technology

[0002] Powdered foods such as milk powder and protein powder are usually placed inside a can, requiring a scoop to remove the powder. Currently, after the can is opened, the scoop is typically placed directly on the powder inside, resulting in direct contact between the scoop and the powder. This inevitably leads to powder sticking to the scoop handle, causing the powder to get on the user's hands and resulting in a poor user experience. In some other embodiments, a special structure needs to be designed on the can's sealing cap to accommodate the scoop. However, this sealing cap structure is complex, and the mold costs are relatively high.

[0003] Therefore, how to overcome one of the above-mentioned defects as much as possible is a technical problem that those skilled in the art have been trying to solve. Utility Model Content

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a spoon provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the spoon in a folded state; Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a partially enlarged view of the spoon engaging with the inner edge of the container; only a portion of the spoon's structure and the inner edge's structure are shown.

[0030] This application provides a filling assembly, primarily for packaging powdered foods such as milk powder and protein powder. The filling assembly includes a can and a spoon 1. The can has an opening, and a sealing cap is fastened to the opening to seal the can's opening. In some embodiments, the can can be made of metal, formed into a cylindrical structure through processes such as cutting, canning, and drawing. After the can is filled with milk powder or other food products, it is sealed with a metal top cover, and then the sealing cap is fastened on. The sealing cap can be made of plastic and is mainly used to seal the can opening after the metal top cover is opened.

[0031] In this embodiment, the opening of the can has an inwardly extending inner edge 21, and the metal top cover can be sealed to the inner edge 21. The inner edge 21 can be an annular structure, forming the opening of the can. Of course, the inner edge 21 may not be an annular structure.

[0032] In this embodiment, the spoon 1 includes a spoon head 11 and a spoon handle 12. The spoon head 11 is connected to one end of the spoon handle 12. The shape and capacity of the spoon head 11 can be reasonably set according to the specific product, and are not limited herein. The spoon handle 12 is provided with a snap-fit ​​interface 121 for snap-fit ​​connection with the inner edge of the can.

[0033] In this embodiment, the spoon handle 12 is provided with a snap-fit ​​interface 121. When the sealed top cover of the can is opened, the snap-fit ​​interface 121 on the spoon handle 12 can be snapped with the inner edge 21 on the can, so that the spoon handle 12 can be fixed on the inner edge 21, thereby solving the problem of placing the spoon 1. The spoon handle 12 should not come into contact with the powder as much as possible, which improves the user's consumption experience. In addition, this application cleverly utilizes the inner edge 21 of the can to cooperate with the spoon 1 for snap-fit, without the need to add other structures to the can and the sealed cover, thus reducing the mold cost.

[0034] In this embodiment, the spoon handle 12 includes a first end and a second end arranged along its length. The spoon head 11 is connected to the first end of the spoon handle 12. The distance between the snap-fit ​​interface 121 and the first end is greater than the distance between the snap-fit ​​interface 121 and the second end. The snap-fit ​​interface 121 is located near the end of the spoon handle 12 away from the spoon head 11 for easy snap-fit.

[0035] In this embodiment, the spoon handle 12 includes two sidewalls 125 extending along its length, with the two sidewalls 125 located on opposite sides of the spoon handle 12. At least one sidewall 125 is provided with a snap-fit ​​interface 121. In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​interface 121 is formed on the sidewall 125 of the spoon handle 12, and the forming process is relatively simple.

[0036] Of course, the snap-fit ​​interface 121 can also be supported on the large surface of the spoon handle 12, that is, the surface located between the two side walls 125.

[0037] In this embodiment, the side wall 125 is provided with a bent edge 124 at least in the section where the snap-fit ​​interface 121 is provided, and the snap-fit ​​interface 121 passes through the bent edge 124; the bent edge 124 can improve the strength of the spoon handle 12 at the position where the snap-fit ​​interface 121 is provided to a certain extent, so that the thickness of the spoon handle 12 can be minimized and the processing cost of the spoon handle 12 can be reduced.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the width of the section of the spoon handle 12 with the snap-fit ​​interface 121 is greater than the width of the first end of the spoon handle 12; in this way, while satisfying the setting of the snap-fit ​​interface 121, the weight of the spoon handle 12 is not increased as much as possible, which is conducive to reducing the material consumption of the spoon handle 12.

[0039] In this embodiment, the width of the spoon handle 12 gradually increases from the first end to the second end. The processing technology of the spoon handle 12 with this structure is simple and the appearance is relatively beautiful.

[0040] During long-term use, wear and tear may cause the snap-fit ​​interface 121 and the inner edge to fail to engage properly. In order to achieve the snap-fit ​​between the spoon 1 and the can, the spoon 1 of this application has the following settings.

[0041] In this embodiment, two or more snap-fit ​​interfaces 121 are provided on the side wall 125, and all snap-fit ​​interfaces 121 on the same side wall 125 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the spoon handle 12. In this embodiment, the number of snap-fit ​​interfaces 121 is relatively large, which can improve the reliability of snap-fit.

[0042] In this embodiment of the application, in order to minimize the space occupied by the spoon 1 in the height of the can, the spoon 1 of this embodiment of the application can also be designed as a folding spoon 1, and the spoon head 11 and the spoon handle 12 can be folded, or the spoon handle 12 can be folded.

[0043] In one embodiment, the spoon 1 further includes a rotating structure, through which the spoon handle 12 is connected to the spoon head 11, so that the spoon handle 12 is in an unfolded state or a folded state. When the spoon 1 is folded, the spoon handle 12 does not extend beyond the outside of the spoon head 11, and the folded spoon 1 is as short as possible, occupying little space.

[0044] In another embodiment, the spoon 1 further includes a rotating structure, and the spoon handle 12 includes a first segment 12A and a second segment 12B. One end of the first segment 12A is connected to the spoon head 11, and the other end is foldably connected to the second segment 12B through the rotating structure. A snap-fit ​​interface 121 is provided on the second segment 12B. The rotating structure is relatively simple to manufacture by incorporating it into the spoon handle 12.

[0045] Rotational structures can be achieved using existing technologies, which will not be discussed in detail in this article.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the snap-fit ​​interface 121 can be a notch structure.

[0047] To improve the reliability of the snap-fit ​​connection, the two groove walls 123 forming the notch structure can elastically open under external force. For example, the entire spoon 1 can be made of a material with predetermined elasticity, such as plastic. Alternatively, only the area where the snap-fit ​​interface 121 is located on the spoon 1 can be made of an elastic material.

[0048] To minimize the weight of the spoon 1 and reduce the amount of materials used, a hollow structure 122 is provided on the spoon handle 12. The hollow structure 122 can have various structures, such as round holes, oblong holes, flower shapes, animal shapes, and other forms.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 In another embodiment, the spoon 1 may also have two spoon heads 11, which are located at opposite ends of the spoon handle 12. The two spoon heads 11 may have different capacities, allowing consumers to use different spoon heads 11 to scoop different amounts of powder at a time, making it more flexible and meeting the needs of different consumers.

[0050] Of course, the two spoons 11 can also have the same capacity. When one of the spoons 11 is damaged, the consumer can use the other spoon 11 to scoop out powder normally.

[0051] Of course, the spoon handle 12 can be designed to be foldable. The two spoon heads 11 or one spoon head 11 can be folded or unfolded relative to the spoon handle 12 through the rotating structure 13, which can reduce the size of the spoon in the length direction and facilitate storage.

[0052] In the description of embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
