[0030] Reference Figure 1 Egg opener 10 includes first shell body 100 and second shell body 200, and first shell body 100 and second shell body 200 are enclosed to form containing cavity 110, egg is contained in containing cavity 110, and first shell body 100 and second shell body 200 are rotationally connected to switch between open state and closed state. When being in open state, user can place egg in containing cavity 110, or user can pour egg liquid out of eggshell;When being in closed state, user can break the egg placed in containing cavity 110.

[0031] It should be noted that at least one of first shell body 100 and second shell body 200 is provided with first elastic member 120, and first elastic member 120 can be controlled by user to break egg. For example Figure 1 It is shown that first shell body 100 and second shell body 200 are both provided with first elastic member 120. First elastic member 120 is used for user to press, to break eggshell in turn.

[0032] It should be noted that in other embodiments, first shell body 100 is provided with first elastic member 120, and second shell body 200 is not provided with first elastic member 120.

[0033] It should be noted that in other embodiments, first shell body 100 is not provided with first elastic member 120, and second shell body 200 is provided with first elastic member 120.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 2It should be noted that the mating points of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are respectively provided with notches 130 for the first elastic member 120 to be pressed and inserted. By providing notches 130, the first elastic member 120 can directly abut against the egg, without needing to be inserted into the receiving cavity 110 through the gap between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, making operation more convenient and reducing the friction between the first elastic member 120 and the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, thus requiring less effort from the user when pressing to break the egg. It is understandable that, if ease of operation and effort saving are not considered, the notch 130 can be omitted; any solution where the first elastic member 120 can break the egg should be protected. It should also be noted that if the first housing 100 or the second housing 200 does not have the first elastic member 120, the notch 130 can also be omitted.

[0035] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first elastic element 120 is set as a spring sheet 121.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The spring sheet 121 includes a strip 122, a folded edge 123, and a shell-breaking part 124. The two ends of the strip 122 are respectively connected to the folded edge 123 and the shell-breaking part 124. The folded edge 123 is used to fix the spring sheet 121 on the first housing 100 or the second housing 200, and the shell-breaking part 124 is used to puncture the eggshell.

[0037] refer to Figure 3 The outer surface of the first housing 100 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 140, and the folded edge 123 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 140 to fix the spring piece 121 to the first housing 100. It is understood that the snap-fit ​​groove 140 may also be omitted. For example, the folded edge 123 may be threadedly connected to the first housing 100 through a threaded connector. Any solution that allows the spring piece 121 to be fixed to the first housing 100 should be protected.

[0038] It should be noted that the fixing method of the second housing 200 and the folded edge 123 is the same as the fixing method of the first housing 100 and the folded edge 123. Therefore, this utility model will not elaborate on the fixing method of the second housing 200 and the folded edge 123.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3It should be noted that the breaking shell part 124 is provided with a sharp triangular pointed structure away from one end of the strip-shaped sheet 122. When the pressure that the egg can withstand is unchanged, the smaller the contact area between the egg and the breaking shell part 124, the smaller the pressure applied by the user to the spring sheet 121. Therefore, by providing the triangular pointed structure, the user can easily break the eggshell, which is very labor-saving. It can be understood that without considering the labor-saving, the triangular pointed structure can also be provided in other shapes, such as a rectangle. As long as the breaking shell part 124 can break the egg, the scheme should be protected.

[0040] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , at least one of the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 is provided with a positioning piece 150 and a second elastic piece 160, for example Figure 1 It is shown that the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 are both provided with the positioning piece 150 and the second elastic piece 160. The positioning piece 150 and the second elastic piece 160 are arranged at the bottom of the first shell 100. The opposite ends of the second elastic piece 160 abut against the positioning piece 150 and the first shell 100, respectively. In addition, the positioning piece 150 and the second elastic piece 160 are arranged at the bottom of the second shell 200. The opposite ends of the second elastic piece 160 abut against the positioning piece 150 and the second shell 200, respectively. When the user places the egg in the first shell 100 or the second shell 200, the second elastic piece 160 can buffer the force of the egg sliding into the positioning piece 150, so that the egg is not easy to break.

[0041] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the positioning piece 150 is provided with a support column 151 extending along the axial direction of the first shell 100.

[0042] It should be noted that the number of support columns 151 is set to be multiple, for example Figure 4 It is shown that the number of support columns 151 is set to be six. The six support columns 151 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first shell 100. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of support columns 151 can also be set to be four or eight. The number of support columns 151 is not limited in the present application.

[0043] In summary, in the present application, the egg opener 10 includes the first shell 100 and the second shell 200. At least one of the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 is provided with the positioning piece 150 and the second elastic piece 160. The opposite ends of the second elastic piece 160 abut against the positioning piece 150 and the first shell 100 / second shell 200, respectively. The positioning piece 150 can limit the movement of the egg relative to the first shell 100. When the user places the egg in the accommodation cavity 110, the second elastic piece 160 can buffer the force of the egg sliding into the positioning piece 150, so that the egg is not easy to break.

[0044] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first shell 100 is provided with a clamping groove 170, when the positioning member 150 is installed on the first shell 100, the supporting column 151 is installed in the clamping groove 170 to limit the rotation of the positioning member 150 relative to the first shell 100. By setting the supporting column 151 clamped in the clamping groove 170, the positioning member 150 cannot rotate relative to the first shell 100, therefore, when the egg is placed in the first shell 100 or the second shell 200, the egg also cannot rotate relative to the first shell 100 or the second shell 200, the spring sheet 121 can be positioned on the surface of the egg, the spring sheet 121 cannot slip relative to the egg, and the user can easily break the eggshell. It can be understood that the clamping groove 170 can also not be provided, as long as the scheme that can limit the rotation of the positioning member 150 relative to the first shell 100 should be protected.

[0045] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , it should be noted that the shape of the supporting column 151 is arc-shaped, the curvature of the supporting column 151 is matched with the curvature of the egg, and the shape of the supporting column 151 is matched with the shape of the egg, which can reduce the gap between the supporting column 151 and the egg, and can effectively ensure that the egg cannot slide relative to the supporting column 151. It can be understood that the supporting column 151 can also be provided in other shapes, as long as the scheme that the supporting column 151 can limit the rotation of the egg relative to the first shell 100 should be protected.

[0046] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , it should be noted that the supporting column 151 further includes an extension 152, the extension 152 extends along the circumference of the first shell 100, and the extension 152 is used to support the egg. By setting the extension 152, the contact area between the egg and the supporting column 151 is increased, the friction between the egg and the supporting column 151 is increased, and the egg is not easy to slide relative to the first shell 100. It can be understood that in the case of not considering the sliding of the egg relative to the first shell 100, the extension 152 can also not be provided, as long as the scheme that the positioning member 150 can limit the rotation of the egg relative to the first shell 100 should be protected.

[0047] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , it should be noted that the positioning member 150 is recessed inward to form a groove 153, the shape of the groove 153 is matched with the shape of the two ends of the egg in the axial direction, the contact area between the egg and the positioning member 150 is larger, so that the positioning member 150 can limit the movement of the egg relative to the first shell 100 or the second shell 200. It can be understood that the groove 153 can also not be provided, as long as the scheme that the positioning member 150 can limit the movement of the egg relative to the first shell 100 or the second shell 200 should be protected.

[0048] While the present application has been described with reference to several exemplary embodiments, it is understood that the words that have been used are words of description and illustration, rather than words of limitation. As mentioned above, changes and modifications can be made to the above-described embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the application. Therefore, the above-described embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all changes coming within the meaning and equivalency range of the appended claims are intended to be embraced therein.
