That is to say, the environmentally-friendly straw that can be easily disassembled and created by this new type can be easily disassembled and has excellent convenience.

In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the novel creation more comprehensible, embodiments are described below in detail with the accompanying drawings as follows.

Generally speaking, the conventional environmentally-friendly straws are not easy to clean the inside. Even with a brush, the cleanliness of the interior of the environmentally-safe straws cannot be clearly confirmed, and it is very easy to cause health problems. In recent years, some environmentally friendly straws have been designed to be separable to facilitate cleaning and confirmation of the interior of the straws. For example, users need to insert their fingers into a narrow straw to remove a detachable environmentally friendly straw. However, due to structural defects such as a small volume of the straw and insufficient force application points, the above method is not easy to quickly disassemble the straw. The present invention provides an environmentally friendly straw that can be easily disassembled to solve the above problems.

FIG. 1A is a schematic perspective view of an environmentally friendly straw that can be easily disassembled according to an embodiment of the novel creation. FIG. 1B is an exploded schematic diagram of an environmentally friendly straw that can be easily disassembled in FIG. 1A. FIG. 1C is a schematic exploded view of the bottom of the straw half body of FIG. 1B.

It should be noted that the straw 100A shown in FIG. 1A is only a schematic and simple illustration of the relative positions of the components, and is for reference only. The actual size ratio will not be similar to that shown in FIG. 1A. In addition, in order to make the drawing clearer, FIG. 1C shows the bottom of the first straw half 110 as a plane, and the bottom of the second straw half 120 is similar to the first straw half 110. Here, FIG. No more redrawing.

Please refer to FIGS. 1A to 1C. The environmentally-friendly straw 100A that can be easily disassembled includes a first straw half 110 and a second straw half 120. The second straw half body 120 is detachably connected to the first straw half body 110 so as to form a hollow tubular body together.

In this embodiment, the tops of the first straw half 110 and the second straw half 120 are flat. The first straw half 110 has a first extension 111 extending from a bottom of the first straw half 110. The second straw half 120 has a second extension 121 extending from a bottom of the second straw half 120.

Specifically, the first extension portion 111 is disposed at the bottom of the first straw half body 110 along the extension direction of the first straw half body 110. The second extension portion 121 is disposed along the extension direction of the second straw half body 120 to be disposed on the bottom of the second straw half body 120. The first extending portion 111 and the second extending portion 121 each have an arc surface A1.

When an external force is applied to the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 121 separately, the first straw half 110 can be separated from the second straw half 120. For example, the user can pinch the first extension 111 with the thumb and index finger of the left hand, and pinch the second extension 121 with the thumb and index finger of the right hand, and apply force in the direction of the arrow in FIG. The straw half body 110 is separated from the second straw half body 120, as shown in FIG. 1B.

The advantage of this design is that the first extension portion 111 and the second extension portion 121 can provide a force application point of the user's finger, and can prevent the user's finger from being confined to the tube wall of the straw 100A.
