FIG. 2 is a schematic partial structure diagram of the first embodiment;

fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of a balance spoon according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure: the spoon comprises a spoon head 1, a spoon rod 2, a spoon handle shell 3, a shaft weight 4, a front lever shaft baffle 5, a fixed button shell 6, a spring baffle 7, a torsion cap 8, a spring 9, a torsion bar 10, a rear lever shaft baffle 11, a spoon rod shaft 12, a friction surface 13 and a fixed cambered plate 14.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments.

Example 1: referring to fig. 1-2, the balance spoon comprises a spoon head 1, a spoon handle shell 3 and a spoon rod 2, wherein a spoon rod shaft 12 is rotatably connected inside the spoon handle shell 3, a rod shaft weight 4 is mounted on the side wall of the spoon rod shaft 12, one end of the spoon rod shaft 12 is connected with the spoon rod 2 positioned outside the spoon handle shell 3, and the other end of the spoon rod 2 is fixedly connected with the spoon head 1 with the gravity center positioned below the spoon rod 2;

be equipped with the locking mechanism to spoon axle 12 action on spoon handle shell 3, locking mechanism includes that locking mechanism includes the solid fixed button shell 6 of rigid coupling in spoon handle shell 3 one end, the one end of spoon axle 12 extends to the inside of solid fixed button shell 6, it has the through-hole to open on the lateral wall of spoon axle 12 is kept away from to solid fixed button shell 6, sliding connection has torsion bar 10 in the through-hole, the one end rigid coupling of torsion bar 10 has the cap 8 of turning round, the other end of torsion bar 10 is connected with and is located the inside button spring catch 7 of solid fixed button shell 6, be connected with spring 9 between button spring catch 7 and the solid fixed button shell 6.

Two ends of the spoon rod shaft 12 are respectively provided with a front lever shaft baffle 5 and a rear lever shaft baffle 11, the front lever shaft baffle 5 and the rear lever shaft baffle 11 are respectively positioned at two ends of the interior of the spoon handle shell 3, and the spoon rod shaft 12 is prevented from being pulled out from the spoon handle shell 3.

The spoon shaft 2 and the spoon shaft 12 are of an integrated structure.

The side wall of the spoon bar shaft 12 close to the torsion bar 10 is provided with a friction surface 13 for improving the stability of the spoon bar shaft 12 when contacting the torsion bar 10.

The vertical sections of the spoon rod 2 and the spoon rod shaft 12 are both circular, so that the spoon rod 2 and the spoon rod shaft 12 can rotate in the spoon handle shell 3 conveniently.

When the hand holding the spoon handle is rotated and shaken, the spoon handle shell 3 rotates along with the hand; due to the gravity action of the vertical weight 4 of the shaft, the shaft 12 of the spoon shaft does not rotate along with the spoon handle shell 2, the spoon head 1 keeps horizontal balance, and unbalance caused to the spoon head by hand rotation and shaking is relieved.

The spoon head 1 is light on the top and heavy on the bottom, the gravity center is lower than the center line of the spoon rod shaft 12, and the gravity center is also a component of the spoon head 1 for balancing the vertical force. However, the spoon shaft cannot be bent too far downwards, because the spoon head 1 is positioned at the farthest end of the elbow, the shaking amplitude of the spoon head 1 is still larger than that of the hand, the larger the distance between the gravity center of the spoon head 1 and the center line of the spoon shaft 12 is, and the larger the moment of rotation of the spoon head 1 is generated when the hand swings transversely and parallelly. The balance of the spoon head is mainly realized by the gravity of the weight 4 on the shaft of the spoon rod.

When the spoon head 1 takes food, the button cap 8 of the fixing button is pressed down by the palm root, so that the fixing end surface of the button rod 10 is occluded with the friction surface of the spoon rod shaft 12, and the spoon head 1 is fixed. After the meal is taken out, when the spoon head 1 leaves a bowl or a plate, the palm heel is slightly loose, the spring 9 springs the button rod 10 outwards, the two end faces of the spoon rod shaft 12 and the torsion rod 10 are separated, and the spoon head 1 restores to an automatic balance state.

Example 2: different from the embodiment 1, the locking mechanism comprises a fixed cambered plate 14, the top end of one side wall of the spoon handle shell 3 close to the spoon rod 2 is provided with a through hole, and the fixed cambered plate 14 fixedly connected on the spoon rod 2 is arranged in the through hole;

when the spoon head 1 takes food, the forefinger of a hand holding the spoon presses the fixed cambered plate 14 through the fixed pressing hole, and the spoon head 1 is fixed; after the meal is taken out, the forefinger is separated from the cambered surface, and the spoon head 1 is restored to the automatic balance state.

The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art should be considered to be within the technical scope of the present invention, and the technical solutions and the inventive concepts thereof according to the present invention should be equivalent or changed within the scope of the present invention.
