Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular to an egg cooker with expandable modules. Background Technology

[0002] Existing egg cookers, like many niche appliances, only function as egg cookers, limiting their application scenarios. Furthermore, they often require multiple appliances in combination for specific usage scenarios. For example, the egg cooker described in this patent, for breakfast, cooked eggs are often served with porridge, milk, or soy milk, requiring an induction cooker or a keep-warm mechanism to heat the porridge, milk, or soy milk. This necessitates the use of multiple appliances. A cooker that simultaneously cooks eggs and keeps the food warm would better meet the actual needs of customers. Similarly, for lunch and dinner, egg cookers are often used with different appliances. Therefore, there is a need for an egg cooker with expandable modules that can connect to external modules with different functions, thereby expanding its functionality and meeting the actual needs of customers.

[0025] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 5 An embodiment of the egg cooker with expandable modules of this utility model is proposed:

[0027] An egg cooker with expandable modules includes an egg cooker body 2 and an external module 1. The external module 1 can be a heat preservation mechanism, a heating mechanism, a soy milk maker module, a blender module, etc. In this embodiment, the external module 1 is a heat preservation mechanism.

[0028] The egg cooker body 2 includes an egg cooker shell, a heating device 25 located at the bottom inside the egg cooker shell, an egg cooker control panel 24 located on the side of the egg cooker shell, a temperature sensing probe 26 located on the side of the heating device 25, and a support tray 23.

[0029] The egg cooker body 2 has a connection slot 27 on its bottom side. The connection slot 27 contains three connection holes 28. The external module 1 has a connection plug 11 with connection pins 12 that mate with the connection holes 28. The external module 1 can be inserted into the side of the egg cooker body 2 by the connection plug 11 and the connection slot 27. Electrical connection is achieved during the locking process by inserting the connection pins 12 into the connection holes 28. There are three connection holes 28 and three connection pins 12, corresponding to the positive, negative, and control lines, respectively. The egg cooker body 2 supplies power to the external module 1 through the positive and negative lines and controls the working status of the external module 1 and receives feedback from it through the control lines.

[0030] The egg cooker housing includes a housing body 21 and a top cover 22. The top of the housing body 21 has an annular connecting groove 211 that matches the bottom of the top cover 22. Limiting grooves 212 are provided on both sides opposite to the annular connecting groove 211. Support tray 23 extends upwards on both sides to form inverted L-shaped limiting connectors 231 that fit the limiting grooves 212. Through the cooperation of the limiting grooves 212 and the limiting connectors 231, the support tray 23 can be fixed and limited between the housing body 21 and the top cover 22. The top of the top cover 22 has a handle 221 and a vent 222.

[0031] There are two temperature sensing probes 26, which are respectively set on opposite sides of the heating device 25. By using two temperature sensing probes 26, the temperature inside the support tray 23 can be better detected.

[0032] The inner side of the support tray 23 is provided with multiple support tray slots 232 for supporting eggs, and the support tray 23 is provided with multiple support tray ventilation holes 233.

[0033] In use, eggs are placed in the support tray 23, and a certain amount of water is added to the shell body 21. The eggs are then heated by steaming. The desired egg type, such as soft-boiled egg or poached egg, can be selected on the egg cooker control panel 24, and different heating temperatures and times will be used to achieve the corresponding egg type. Additionally, milk and soy milk can be placed on the other side of the heat preservation mechanism and heated by selecting the working mode on the egg cooker control panel 24, thus performing two functions with a single device. This meets the actual usage needs of customers.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
