Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric cookware technology, specifically to a multi-zone electric cooking pot. Background Technology
[0002] With the fast pace of life, egg cookers have become a common kitchen appliance due to their convenience. Traditional egg cookers mostly have a single-zone or dual-zone heating structure, allowing users to cook a small number of eggs at the same time, but they cannot meet diverse dietary needs (such as cooking soft-boiled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, and hot spring eggs simultaneously). Existing egg cookers have the following shortcomings: limited zoning; single-zone or dual-zone designs cannot achieve simultaneous cooking of three levels of doneness (soft-boiled, medium-boiled, and hard-boiled); low thermal efficiency; ordinary heating plates cannot independently control temperature, resulting in uneven heating between the edges and the center; cumbersome operation; users need to adjust the time multiple times or manually switch zones, leading to a poor user experience; and difficult cleaning; the one-piece design makes it difficult to remove residual egg liquid, fostering bacterial growth. The market urgently needs a multi-functional egg cooker that can precisely control different levels of doneness. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing egg cookers having limited partitioning, low thermal efficiency, and cumbersome operation.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A multi-zone electric cooker, characterized in that it includes a base, a placement shell, and a lid. The upper surface of the base is recessed and divided into several egg-cooking compartments. The upper end of each egg-cooking compartment is detachably fitted with a placement shell for placing eggs to be cooked. Each egg-cooking compartment has a heating module and a corresponding temperature sensor at its bottom. The front of the base has an intelligent control panel containing an MCU chip and control buttons. The bottom of the base has a voice module, and the back of the base has a power switch and a power interface.
[0006] A further improvement is that the MCU chip is electrically connected to the power switch, control buttons, voice module, temperature sensor, power interface, and heating module.
[0007] A further improvement is that a placement groove is provided on the upper edge of the egg-cooking chamber, and the placement shell is installed on the placement groove.
[0008] A further improvement is that the shell is provided with several egg slots for placing eggs to be cooked.
[0009] A further improvement is that the bottom surface of the egg tray has several first steam holes, and the surrounding shell of the egg tray has several second steam holes.
[0010] A further improvement is that a handle is provided on the upper surface of the placement shell.
[0011] A further improvement is that a heat-insulating slot is formed between each adjacent egg-cooking compartment, and a number of heat-insulating plates corresponding to the heat-insulating slots are provided on the inner surface of the pot lid. The heat-insulating plates divide the pot lid into several areas corresponding to the egg-cooking compartments, and the heat-insulating plates are secured to the heat-insulating slots.
[0012] A further improvement is that the egg-cooking chamber is equipped with three compartments.
[0013] A further improvement is that a lid handle is provided on the top of the lid.
[0014] A further improvement is that the top of the pot lid has several vent holes, which are evenly distributed above the three egg-cooking compartments.
[0015] A further improvement is that the base has several support feet on its bottom surface, and the bottom surface of each support foot is provided with an anti-slip pad.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution has the following advantages:
[0017] Each egg-cooking chamber is equipped with a temperature sensor that works in conjunction with the heating module to precisely control the temperature. The NTC provides real-time data feedback to the MCU, dynamically adjusting the PTC power. The three zones can be independently adjusted to solve the problem of undercooked or overcooked eggs in traditional egg cookers. The PTC heating module has a thermal efficiency of 95%, saving 20% more electricity than traditional resistance wire heating. The temperature sensor can precisely control the heating time to prevent dry burning and reduce scale residue. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0031] See Figures 1-11 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a multi-zone electric cooker, characterized in that: it includes a base 1, a placement shell 3, and a lid 2. The upper surface of the base 1 is recessed and equally divided into several egg-cooking compartments 4. The upper end of each egg-cooking compartment 4 is detachably equipped with a placement shell 3 for placing eggs to be cooked. Each egg-cooking compartment 4 has a heating module 5 and a corresponding temperature sensor 6 at its bottom. The front of the base 1 is equipped with an intelligent control panel 7, which contains an MCU chip. The front of the intelligent control panel 7 is equipped with control buttons. The bottom of the base 1 is equipped with a voice module 8. The back of the base 1 is equipped with a power switch 9 and a power interface 10.
[0032] The base 1, the housing 3, and the lid 2 are all made of food-grade PP / PC material.
[0033] The control buttons support selecting the doneness mode, including "L1 soft-boiled egg + L2 medium-boiled egg + L3 hard-boiled egg" buttons.
[0034] Among them, each of the several egg-cooking compartments has the same volume, but each can be set to cook soft-boiled eggs, semi-cooked eggs, or hard-boiled eggs.
[0035] The MCU chip is electrically connected to the power switch 9, control buttons, voice module 8, temperature sensor 6, power interface 10, and heating module 5.
[0036] The heating module 5 is a PTC heating module, and the temperature sensor 6 is an NTC temperature sensor; the NTC feeds back data to the MCU in real time to dynamically adjust the PTC power.
[0037] The inner wall of the egg-cooking chamber 4 is provided with scale lines.
[0038] The upper edge of the egg-cooking chamber 4 is provided with a placement groove 41, and the placement shell 3 is installed on the placement groove 41.
[0039] The egg placement shell 3 is provided with a plurality of egg slots 31 for placing eggs to be cooked.
[0040] The egg tray 31 has several first steam holes 32 on its bottom surface, and several second steam holes 33 are provided on the placement shell 3 around the egg tray 31.
[0041] The upper surface of the placement shell 3 is provided with a placement shell handle 34.
[0042] Among them, a heat-insulating slot 42 is formed between each adjacent egg-cooking chamber 4, and a number of heat-insulating plates 23 corresponding to the heat-insulating slot 42 are provided on the inner surface of the pot lid 2. The number of heat-insulating plates 23 divide the pot lid 2 into a number of areas corresponding to the egg-cooking chamber 4, and the heat-insulating plates 23 are stuck on the heat-insulating slot 42.
[0043] The egg-cooking chamber 4 is provided in three parts.
[0044] The lid 2 is provided with a lid handle 21 on its outer top.
[0045] The lid 2 has several vent holes 22 on its top, which are evenly distributed above the three egg-cooking chambers 4.
[0046] The base has several support feet 11 on its bottom surface, and the bottom surface of each support foot 11 is provided with an anti-slip pad.
[0047] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During use, the user adds water to the designated mark in the egg-cooking chamber using a measuring cup, places the eggshell in place, puts in the eggs, and closes the lid. The user then selects the desired doneness combination (e.g., "soft-boiled + fully cooked") using the control buttons on the intelligent control panel. The MCU controls the corresponding PTC module to heat according to a preset program, automatically cutting off power and providing a voice reminder after the set time is reached. Each egg-cooking chamber is equipped with a temperature sensor that works in conjunction with the heating module for precise temperature control. The NTC provides real-time data feedback to the MCU, dynamically adjusting the PTC power. The three zones can be independently adjusted, solving the problem of undercooked or overcooked eggs in traditional egg cookers. The PTC heating module achieves a thermal efficiency of 95%, saving 20% more electricity than traditional resistance wire heating. The temperature sensor precisely controls the heating time to prevent dry burning and reduce limescale residue.
