Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention discloses the specific structure of an egg steamer with a luminous knob, including a base 1 and a steamer assembly 2 disposed above the base 1. The steamer assembly 2 includes a first steaming rack 21 and a top cover 22 disposed sequentially above the base 1 from bottom to top. The base 1 is provided with a knob 11, a luminous component 12, a heating device 13, and a liquid container 14. The knob 11 is fixedly connected to the base 1 via a rotating shaft 110. The knob 11 is provided with a light-transmitting part 111 that penetrates the surface of the knob 11. The luminous component 12 is disposed inside the knob 11 and is used to provide a light source for the light-transmitting part 111. The liquid container 14 is disposed at the top of the base 1 and is used to hold the medium required for steaming eggs. The heating device 13 is disposed at the bottom of the liquid container 14.

[0018] It should be noted that in this egg steamer with a luminous knob, the knob 11 is connected to a timer for controlling the time. The user controls the steaming time by turning the knob 11. A luminous component 12 is provided inside the knob 11, and a light-transmitting part 111 is provided on the knob 11, allowing light emitted by the luminous component 12 to pass through the light-transmitting part 111. This helps users with poor eyesight to accurately locate the time scale engraved on the side wall of the egg steamer when adjusting the time using the knob 11. A heating device 13 and a liquid container 14 are provided on the base 1, and a medium is added to the liquid container 14, allowing the heated steam to rise into the steaming basket assembly 2 above the base 1 to steam the eggs. A first steaming rack 21 is provided in the steaming basket assembly 2 so that the eggs can be stably placed directly above the liquid container 14. A top cover 22 ensures that the heated steam is stored inside the egg steamer with the luminous knob. Specifically, in this embodiment, the medium used is water.

[0019] See Figure 3 The light-emitting component 12 includes a PCB board 121, a plurality of LED beads 122 disposed on the surface of the PCB board 121, and a light equalizer 123 disposed above the PCB board 121. The LED beads 122 are arranged in a circular structure at equal intervals. Because of the light equalizer 123 and the LED beads 122 are arranged in a circular structure at equal intervals, the light emitted by the LED beads 122 on the PCB board 121 can be stably emitted from the light-transmitting part 111 no matter which position the knob 11 is rotated to.

[0020] It should be noted that the light equalizer 123 of this egg steamer with a light-emitting knob has a frosted effect. When the light emitted by the LED 122 passes through the light equalizer 123, it becomes softer, so as to avoid the user feeling that the light is too glaring when using this egg steamer with a light-emitting knob.

[0021] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 A dustproof component 112 is provided on the inner side of the light-transmitting part 111. A protrusion 112a, matching the size of the light-transmitting part 111, is located in the center of the dustproof component 112 and is embedded in the light-transmitting part 111. Openings 112b are provided on both sides of the dustproof component 112, and raised dots 113 are provided on both sides of the light-transmitting part 111 of the knob 11, which are embedded in the openings 112b of the dustproof component 112. By embedding the protrusions 112a in the light-transmitting part 111, the inner side of the knob 11 is completely isolated from the outside, preventing dust accumulation inside the knob 11. The design of the raised dots 113 and openings 112b ensures that the dustproof component 112 can be stably fixed inside the knob 11.

[0022] See Figure 6 The steamer assembly 2 also includes an intermediate steaming kit 23, which includes a steaming cylinder 231 and a second steaming rack 232. The second steaming rack 232 is located above the bottom of the steaming cylinder 231. The side wall of the steaming cylinder 231 has a certain height to ensure that there is enough space between the first steaming rack 21 and the second steaming rack 232 to place poultry eggs.

[0023] It should be noted that users can choose whether to use the intermediate steaming kit 23 based on the actual situation. When there are fewer eggs to be steamed, the intermediate steaming kit 23 can be removed, and only the first steaming rack 21 and the top cover 22 need to be used, so that the steaming time required for the eggs is shorter. The intermediate steaming kit 23 is suitable for scenarios where the first steaming rack 21 is already full of eggs and more eggs need to be steamed.

[0024] See Figure 7 The bottom surface of the steaming cylinder 231 is provided with several outwardly protruding reinforcing ribs 231a. By setting the reinforcing ribs 231a, the structural strength can be increased to prevent the steaming cylinder 231 from deforming, and the distance between the steaming cylinder and the eggs can be maintained to prevent the food from being soaked by distilled water.

[0025] Preferably, the first steaming rack 21 is provided with a plurality of first egg slots 211 and a plurality of first vent holes 212. The first egg slots 211 are all located on the same circle of equal radius, and the arc length between adjacent first egg slots 211 is equal. The first vent holes 212 are evenly distributed on the first steaming rack 21. By setting the first egg slots 211, the poultry eggs placed on the first steaming rack 21 are less likely to roll and break. By setting the first vent holes 212, steam can pass smoothly through the first steaming rack 21 to steam the poultry eggs on the top of the first steaming rack 21.

[0026] Preferably, the second steaming rack 232 is provided with a plurality of second egg slots 232a and a plurality of second vent holes 232b. The second egg slots 232a are all located on the same circle of equal radius, and the arc lengths between adjacent second egg slots 232a are equal. The second vent holes 232b are evenly distributed on the second steaming rack 232. By providing the second vent holes 232b, steam can pass smoothly through the second steaming rack 232 to steam the poultry eggs at the top of the second steaming rack 232.

[0027] It should be noted that users can choose whether to use the second steaming rack 232 according to their actual needs, and the second steaming rack 232 can be removed when not in use.

[0028] See Figure 8 The liquid container 14 includes an inner liner 141, an outer ring 142, and a slot 143. The outer ring 142 is located at the top of the inner liner 141, and the slot 143 is located at the top of the outer ring 142, engaging with the base 1. The heating device 13 is located at the bottom of the inner liner 141. The slot 143 allows the liquid container 14 to be stably fixed to the base 1. The inner liner 141 is designed to hold the water needed for steaming eggs. The outer ring 142 is designed to prevent water from overflowing during boiling.

[0029] Specifically, the ratio of the radius of the outer ring 142 to the radius of the inner liner 141 is 0.2 to 0.5. Preferably, the ratio of the radius of the outer ring 142 to the radius of the inner liner 141 is 0.3, so that more water can be contained without overflowing when boiling.

[0030] Preferably, the outer wall of the intermediate steaming kit 23 is symmetrically provided with handles 233 so that the user can easily remove the steamer assembly 2 during use.

[0031] Preferably, the knob 11 has several anti-slip strips 114 on its side to prevent slippage when the user grips it.

[0032] As can be seen from the above, this utility model, by setting a knob 11, a heating device 13, and a liquid container 14 on the base 1, and setting a steamer assembly 2 above the base 1, enables this egg steamer with a luminous knob to achieve normal steaming. Furthermore, by setting a luminous component 12 and a light-transmitting part 111 on the knob 11, it helps users with poor eyesight to accurately find the corresponding time scale when adjusting the time using the knob 11. Specifically, by setting a PCB board 121 on the luminous component 12, setting several equally spaced LED beads 122 in a circular structure on the PCB board 121, and setting a light equalizer 123 above the PCB board 121, the user can see a soft light from its light-transmitting part 111 no matter what angle the knob 11 is turned to. The intermediate steaming kit 23 is also provided to meet the user's needs when steaming a large number of poultry eggs. Furthermore, by setting reinforcing ribs 231a at the bottom of the steaming cylinder 231, the steamed poultry eggs are less likely to be soaked in distilled water. In addition, by providing an inner liner 141 and an outer ring 142 on the liquid receiver 14, the water inside the liquid receiver 14 is less likely to overflow when boiling. A handle 233 and an anti-slip strip 114 are also provided to make it more convenient for users to use.

[0033] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
