In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary, not as limiting. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments can have different values.
[0049] The utility model provides a kind of egg boiler 100 with cooling function, including steam container 300 and heating assembly (not shown in drawing).
[0050] As an example but not limited, steam container 300 is rectangular plate structure, material is food-grade high-temperature-resistant plastic, steam hole (not shown in drawing) is provided on the steam container 300.
[0051] As shown in Figure 1 Steam container 300 is provided with a plurality of first grooves 310.
[0052] The design of first groove 310 can be set to different specifications according to the size of different kinds of eggs to adapt to different kinds of eggs.
[0053] As a typical embodiment, first groove 310 is semicircular, the depth is 1 / 2 of the height of egg, and the diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of egg, such as about 5mm gap.
[0054] The top cover 320 is a cover that matches the steam tray 300 and can be detachably connected to the steam tray 300.
[0055] Detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, slot connection, magnetic connection, threaded connection, friction connection or hinge connection.
[0056] A second groove 330 corresponding to the first groove 310 is provided on the side facing the steam tray 300.
[0057] The second groove 330 has the same shape as the first groove 310. When the two are closed, they form a complete elliptical egg compartment to accommodate the whole egg.
[0058] A limiting component 340 is provided on the inner wall of the first groove 310 and / or the second groove 330, the limiting component 340 being used to restrict the movement of the egg within the egg container.
[0059] The limiting component 340 includes an elastic layer disposed on the inner wall of the first groove 310 and / or the second groove 330. The elastic layer is made of silicone or rubber and is used to conform to the surface of the egg, fill the gap between the egg and the egg container, provide cushioning and fixing, and prevent the egg from shaking in the egg container.
[0060] The elastic layer can be a partial inner wall covering, an elastic pad, or it can cover the entire inner wall, tightly wrapping the egg.
[0061] The surface of the elastic material layer is provided with anti-slip texture to increase friction with the egg surface and further prevent the egg from moving.
[0062] The limiting component 340 may further include a limiting protrusion, which is a ring-shaped or dot-shaped structure.
[0063] By using limiting protrusions to contact the egg surface, the egg is supported from multiple directions.
[0064] For example, the bottom of the first groove 310 is provided with an annular limiting protrusion to support the bottom of the egg and prevent it from moving up and down.
[0065] The sidewall of the first groove 310 has dot-shaped protrusions that are evenly distributed to restrict the horizontal movement of the egg.
[0066] With the design of the limiting component 340, the egg is firmly fixed in the egg container, preventing it from shaking during cooking or flipping, ensuring that the egg is heated evenly and avoiding breakage.
[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, the egg-cooking chamber 200 and the cold water chamber 210 are set up separately.
[0068] Alternatively, heat exchange can be reduced by using an insulation layer for separation.
[0069] A flipping assembly 400 is arranged between the boiling bin 200 and the cold water bin 210, and is connected to the steamer 300 in a slanting manner, so as to switch the steamer 300 between the boiling bin 200 and the cold water bin 210.

[0075] An angle locking device (not shown in the figure) is arranged to limit the flipping angle of the steamer 300, and a mechanical buckle can be selected and arranged at the boundary position of the boiling bin 200 and the cold water bin 210.
[0076] In a specific implementation, after the steamer 300 is flipped out of the boiling bin 200 by the flipping assembly 400, the steamer 300 is automatically locked by the angle locking device before entering the cold water bin 210, so as to fix the flipping position of the steamer 300. This process usually relies on the cooperation of gravity or mechanical devices, so that the egg is suspended in the air.
[0077] The suspension time of the steamer 300 in the air can be designed as several seconds to tens of seconds, and the specific time can be adjusted according to the initial temperature of the egg, the ambient temperature and the humidity.
[0078] During the suspension, the surface temperature of the egg is naturally cooled, and gradually approaches the ambient temperature, so that the temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the egg gradually decreases. After the set suspension time, the mechanical buckle is unlocked, and the steamer 300 can smoothly enter the cold water bin 210, so as to prevent the egg from being broken due to the large temperature difference in a short time.
[0079] The use process of the above egg steamer is as follows:
[0080] In the boiling bin 200, the egg is placed in the first groove 310 on the steamer 300, and then the upper cover 320 is connected to the steamer 300, so as to fix the egg in the egg container.
[0081] The egg is heated in the boiling bin 200.
