[0023] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a household egg steamer, including a steamer basket 1, an egg steamer base 2, and a power plug 5. The power plug 5 can be connected to an external power source to supply power to the egg steamer. The bottom of the egg steamer base 2 has a socket 4 to provide a connection channel for the power plug 5. When the power plug 5 is inserted into the socket 4, only the metal head of the power plug 5 is inserted into the socket 4, while its outer shell does not enter the socket 4, so as to facilitate the subsequent separation of the power plug 5 from the egg steamer.

[0025] A bottom shell 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the egg steamer base 2. The bottom shell 6 is installed on the bottom of the egg steamer base 2 by screws, etc. Four support legs 7 are fixedly connected to the surface of the bottom shell 6 to support the egg steamer. A push plate 3 is slidably connected inside the bottom shell 6. The push plate 3 covers the bottom of the socket 4 and has a concave cross-section. Two guide rods 21 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the socket 4. The surfaces of the two guide rods 21 are slidably connected to the inside of the push plate 3. A spring 22 is fixedly connected between the two guide rods 21 and the push plate 3. With the help of the spring 22, the push plate 3 can slide in the socket 4. During the sliding process, the push plate 3 pushes the outer shell of the power plug 5, thereby pulling the metal head of the power plug 5 out of the socket 4, thus completing the power-off operation of the egg steamer. When the egg steamer stands stably, the push plate 3 is completely located in the socket 4, and the spring 22 is in a compressed state.

[0026] The two support legs 7 near the socket 4 are each slidably connected to a movable rod 8. The movable rod 8 passes through the surface of the bottom shell 6 and is slidably connected to the inside of the bottom shell 6. The steamer base 2 is fixedly connected to a square rod 18. The surface of the square rod 18 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable rod 8. Thus, by setting the square rod 18, the movement trajectory of the movable rod 8 can be restricted, so that the movable rod 8 can only slide and cannot rotate, ensuring the smooth operation of the device.

[0027] The square rod 18 is fitted with a rotating sleeve 17. The surface of the rotating sleeve 17 is rotatably connected to the inside of the egg steamer base 2. The surface of the movable rod 8 slides against the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 17. The surface of the movable rod 8 is provided with a spiral groove 19. The inner wall of the rotating sleeve 17 is fixedly connected with a sliding rod 20. The surface of the sliding rod 20 slides against the inner wall of the spiral groove 19. When the egg steamer stands up, the movable rod 8 is completely retracted into the bottom shell 6 under the weight of the egg steamer itself.

[0028] A protective frame 14 is fixedly connected inside the egg steamer base 2. A heating device is installed between the protective frame 14 and the egg steamer base 2 to heat the water in the egg steamer, thereby achieving the purpose of steaming eggs. A circuit is installed between the heating device and the socket 4 to ensure that the power plug 5 can supply power to the heating device smoothly after being inserted into the socket 4. The heating device is a conventional technical means for those skilled in the art and will not be discussed in detail here. At the same time, the setting of the protective frame 14 can separate the heating device from the other structures to avoid mutual interference between the two, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the egg steamer.

[0029] A rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the surface of the protective frame 14. A second gear 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 11. A third gear 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of each of the two rotating sleeves 17. Two rotating shafts 10 are rotatably connected inside the egg steamer base 2. A first gear 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of each of the two rotating shafts 10. The two first gears 9 are respectively meshed with the two third gears 16, and both first gears 9 are meshed with the second gear 13. A winding roller 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 11. A traction rope 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the winding roller 12. One end of the traction rope 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the push plate 3 to drive the push plate 3 and reset it.

[0030] Working principle: When the egg steamer tilts and falls over, the support leg 7 at the bottom of the egg steamer no longer contacts the table or other flat surfaces, allowing the movable rod 8 to have some room to move. Since the spring 22 is in a compressed state when the egg steamer is standing, when the egg steamer tilts over, the elastic force of the spring 22 pushes the push plate 3 to slide in the socket 4, thereby pushing the outer shell of the power plug 5 and causing the metal head of the power plug 5 to disengage from the socket 4. This achieves the power cut-off operation of the egg steamer when it tilts over, improving the safety of using the egg steamer.

[0031] The movement of the push plate 3 pulls the traction rope 15, thereby driving the winding roller 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 11 and the second gear 13 to rotate. At the same time, through the meshing of the second gear 13 with the first gear 9 and the first gear 9 with the third gear 16, the rotating sleeve 17 is driven to rotate, thereby causing the slide rod 20 to push the inner wall of the spiral groove 19, which in turn drives the movable rod 8 to slide in the bottom shell 6, causing the movable rod 8 to protrude from the surface of the bottom shell 6. After the egg steamer is erected, under the weight of the egg steamer itself, the movable rod 8 retracts back into the bottom shell 6, which in turn drives the push plate 3 to return to its original state, so that the egg steamer can be plugged in and used normally.

[0032] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
