[0024] Example 1
[0025] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides an egg box for a refrigerator, comprising a box body 1 and a guide rail assembly.
[0026] The box body 1 is provided with overlapping tracks 8 on either side of its exterior, allowing the box body 1 to be installed in a refrigerator. The box body 1 has space for storing eggs, with an egg entry opening 9 and an egg removal opening 10 located on the front. The guide track assembly forms an egg rolling trough 2 within the box body 1. The width of the egg rolling trough 2 is slightly larger than the length of a horizontally lying egg, ensuring smooth rolling of the egg within the trough 2. The egg is placed through the egg entry opening 9 into the entrance of the trough 2, where it then rolls along the trough 2 to its exit.
[0027] In this embodiment, the guide rail assembly includes a right-angled frame 3 with polished, rounded edges. The front end of the frame 3 is in close contact with the front inner wall of the box body 1, while a gap 4 is defined between the rear end of the frame 3 and the right inner wall of the box body 1. This gap 4 serves as the exit of the rolling trough 2. The frame 3 forms an egg rolling trough 2 with the left and rear inner walls of the box body 1. The bottom of the egg rolling trough 2 slopes from the entrance to the exit. This tilt angle allows eggs to roll from the entrance to the exit of the trough 2 under their own weight. The tilt angle of the trough 2 was precisely calculated and repeatedly tested to ensure that eggs can roll smoothly under their own weight within the trough 2 without breaking or accumulating. In addition, an egg picking area 5 is formed between the right-angle frame 3 and the front inner wall and right inner side of the box body 1. The inner bottom surface of the egg picking area 5 is inclined from the rear side to the front side, and the eggs roll into the egg picking area 5 from the exit of the rolling trough 2. Since the inner bottom surface of the egg picking area 5 is inclined from the rear side to the front side, the eggs will roll from the rear side of the egg picking area 5 to the front side of the egg picking area 5 by themselves, making it convenient for users to take out eggs from the egg taking port 10.
[0028] Furthermore, the egg inlet 9 is located at the front end of the egg rolling trough 2, and the egg taking out port 10 is located at the front end of the egg taking area 5. Only one egg inlet 9 can be set, and the egg inlet 9 can be set larger to facilitate the placement of eggs into the rolling trough 2. Two or three egg taking out ports 10 can be set to facilitate users to take out eggs from the egg taking area 5.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, based on the first embodiment, this embodiment provides an egg carton for a refrigerator, wherein the guide rail assembly further includes a movable rod 6, the rear end of which is slidably mounted on the horizontal bar of the right-angle frame 3. Specifically, a transverse groove 7 is formed on the side of the horizontal bar of the right-angle frame 3, and the rear end of the movable rod 6 is slidably engaged in the transverse groove 7, and the movable rod 6 is parallel to the vertical bar of the right-angle frame 3.
[0031] By sliding and adjusting the position of the movable rod 6, the size of the space on the left and right sides of the movable rod 6 can be changed. The position of the movable rod 6 can be adjusted according to the number of eggs used by the user every day.
[0032] If the user needs a large number of eggs, the movable rod 6 is adjusted away from the right side wall of the box body 1 so that more eggs can be gathered from the rolling groove 2 between the movable rod 6 and the right side wall of the box body 1; if the user needs a small number of eggs, the movable rod 6 is adjusted towards the right side wall of the box body 1 so that a small number of eggs can be gathered from the rolling groove 2 between the movable rod 6 and the right side wall of the box body 1.
[0033] The arrangement of the movable rod 6 can ensure that the eggs put in first can be taken out first, and the eggs put in later can be used later, thus achieving the effect of putting new eggs in and taking out old eggs.
[0034] It is understandable that in the present invention, the material of the egg carton should be both strong and easy to clean to ensure the hygiene and safety of the eggs. Plastic or food-grade silicone are good choices. The height of the egg carton should be based on the size of the eggs lying horizontally, and slightly increased to ensure that the eggs can roll smoothly without getting stuck. The egg carton needs to be stable enough to prevent the eggs from tipping over when rolling. Some anti-slip pads can be designed at the bottom of the egg carton or the contact area of the bottom can be widened. Design the appropriate capacity and size according to the needs of the target users to ensure that the egg carton is both practical and does not take up too much space. Although functionality is paramount, an attractive appearance design is also important. Consider using transparent or translucent materials so that users can see the storage condition of the eggs at a glance.
[0035] The above detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
