Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tableware technology, specifically a single-piece egg tray. Background Technology

[0002] Eggs are a nutritious food and are generally considered a good breakfast food. Many breakfast shops or hotels serve boiled eggs in their shells, but they do not provide containers for the eggs. People can only take them by hand or put them in food bags to go, which is neither hygienic nor aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, if the boiled eggs are too hot, they may burn your hands.

[0003] In the existing technology, traditional single-piece egg trays have significant drawbacks. For example, the structure of traditional egg trays is fixed and the support position cannot be adjusted, making it inconvenient to take out the eggs. This is especially true for fragile hard-boiled eggs, as forcibly taking them out can easily cause damage. At the same time, traditional egg trays lack the function of controlling heat dissipation of eggs after heating. Therefore, this utility model proposes a single-piece egg tray to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a single-piece egg tray is provided.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes an egg tray body, with a support ring inside the egg tray body. Through grooves are formed on both end side walls of the egg tray body. Fixing rods are fixedly connected to both end side walls of the support ring. Two fixing rods pass through the two through grooves respectively. Sliding tubes are slidably sleeved on both fixing rods. The two sliding tubes pass through the through grooves and are slidably connected thereto. Each of the two sliding tubes is provided with a fixing mechanism for fixing the support ring. The fixing mechanism includes an end of the sliding tube fixedly connected inside the egg tray body. The fixing rod passes through a clamping plate and is slidably connected thereto. The clamping plate has an arc-shaped design that matches the inner wall of the egg tray body.

[0008] Preferably, two vertically arranged guide rails are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the egg tray body, and two symmetrically arranged sliding grooves are opened on the outer wall of the support ring, with the two sliding grooves slidably connected to the two guide rails respectively.

[0009] Preferably, an anti-slip ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support ring, and the anti-slip ring is made of rubber.

[0010] Preferably, a slider is fixedly connected to one end of the crossbar inside the sliding tube, and the side wall of the slider is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sliding tube by a spring.

[0011] Preferably, each of the two sliding tubes is fixedly connected to a handle at one end outside the egg tray body, and the width of each handle is greater than the width of the through groove.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the egg tray body is provided with an opening, the lower end of the egg tray body is fixedly connected to a base, and the lower end of the base is provided with an anti-slip pad.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a single egg tray, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By squeezing the handles on both sides, the clamping plate is detached from the inner wall of the egg tray body. The support ring can slide up and down along the guide rail. After adjusting to the appropriate position, release the handles. The spring rebounds and clamps the clamping plate tightly against the inner wall of the egg tray, thus fixing the support ring. This design allows the height of the support ring to be adjusted as needed, making it easier to remove the eggs and avoiding the inconvenience and egg breakage problems when removing eggs from traditional egg trays.

[0016] 2. The adjustable support ring not only makes it easier to remove the egg but also allows control over the height at which the egg protrudes from the tray. Exposing part of the egg to the air increases its surface area, accelerating heat dissipation and effectively improving the texture caused by residual heat buildup, while also reducing the risk of burns.

[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, the orientations used, such as "up" and "down", usually refer to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" usually refer to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this utility model.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 A single-piece egg tray includes an egg tray body 1. A support ring 8 is disposed inside the egg tray body 1. Through grooves 4 are formed on both end side walls of the egg tray body 1. Fixing rods 11 are fixedly connected to both end side walls of the support ring 8. The two fixing rods 11 pass through the two through grooves 4 respectively. Sliding tubes 6 are slidably sleeved on both fixing rods 11. The two sliding tubes 6 pass through and are slidably connected to the through grooves 4. Each sliding tube 6 is provided with a fixing mechanism for fixing the support ring 8. The fixing mechanism includes a mechanism fixedly connected to the sliding tube 6 located inside the egg tray body 1. At the end, the fixing rod 11 passes through the clamping plate 10 and is slidably connected to it. The clamping plate 10 has an arc-shaped design that matches the inner wall of the egg tray body 1. The height adjustment of the support ring 8 is not only suitable for eggs of different sizes (such as chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs), but can also be used to display egg products to meet the plating needs of the catering industry. At the same time, the open structure design makes it easy to clean and can be directly put into the dishwasher for cleaning, which meets the hygiene requirements of modern homes. It should be noted that the clamping plate 10 is equipped with an anti-slip sleeve, which can increase the friction with the inner wall of the egg tray body 1 and improve the fixing effect.

[0027] Specifically, two vertically arranged guide rails are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the egg tray body 1, and two symmetrically arranged sliding grooves are opened on the outer wall of the support ring 8, with the two sliding grooves slidably connected to the two guide rails respectively.

[0028] Specifically, an anti-slip ring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support ring 8, and the anti-slip ring 9 is made of rubber.

[0029] Specifically, a slider 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the crossbar 11 inside the sliding tube 6. The side wall of the slider 12 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sliding tube 6 by a spring 13. A handle 5 is fixedly connected to one end of each sliding tube 6 outside the egg tray body 1. The width of each handle 5 is greater than the width of the through groove 4.

[0030] Specifically, the upper end of the egg tray body 1 is provided with an opening 2, and the lower end of the egg tray body 1 is fixedly connected to a base 3. The lower end of the base 3 is provided with an anti-slip pad 7. The anti-slip pad 7 at the lower end of the base 3 can increase the friction with the countertop and prevent the egg tray from sliding. The sliding connection structure between the support ring 8 and the guide rail ensures that the support ring 8 moves vertically and will not flip over.

[0031] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] The heated egg is placed through the opening 2 at the top of the egg tray body 1. The bottom of the egg is supported on the anti-slip ring 9, which is made of rubber and provides cushioning and anti-slip properties. When removing the egg, the handles 5 on both sides are pressed inward. The handles 5 drive the sliding tube 6 to slide inward along the fixed rod 11, and the spring 13 is stretched. The sliding tube 6 drives the clamp 10 to detach from the inner wall of the egg tray body 1. At this time, the support ring 8 loses its fixed constraint and slides up and down along the guide rail to the desired height. The handles 5 are released, and the spring 13 rebounds and pushes the sliding tube 6 to slide outward. The clamp 10 presses the inner wall of the egg tray body 1 again, thus fixing the support ring 8. By adjusting the height of the support ring 8, the egg is partially exposed through the opening 2, making it easier to remove by hand and avoiding the egg being too slippery to remove. By adjusting the height of the support ring 8, the height of the egg exposed through the opening 2 is controlled, thereby adjusting the contact area between the egg and the air. The larger the exposed area, the faster the heat dissipation. Users can adjust it to a suitable heat dissipation state as needed.

[0033] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
