Description

Egg Boiler {EGG COOKING EQUIPMENT}

The present invention relates to an egg-boiling device, and more particularly, to an egg-boiling device that can be used to boil eggs in a state in which the eggshell is removed.

Eggs are foods that contain enough protein and lipids necessary to construct cells among essential nutrients. In particular, eggs are known to be one of the best foods for athletes, adolescents and toddlers who need high-quality protein because they have low energy content instead of high nutritional value.

These eggs can be consumed raw without going through a separate cooking process, but it is common to eat them by boiling or frying. Of course, the process of boiling eggs is also essential for cooking with eggs.

To boil eggs, use a microwave oven, or put water in a kettle or small pot and boil the eggs together. At this time, depending on the time of boiling the egg, the contents of the egg may be in the form of semi-mature or semi-mature.

Here, in order to eat or use it for cooking after boiling an egg, you must peel the egg and use only the contents of the egg. To do this, peel the eggshell manually. However, these operations are time consuming and cumbersome as well as the contents of the eggs and the eggshell do not separate well, so it is difficult to form an egg shape due to the eggshell falling into the dishes or the egg contents falling together with the eggshell. There is a problem that the amount of egg contents that can be consumed is reduced.

On the other hand, in recent years, in order to solve this problem, the eggshell and the contents of the eggs are separated separately before the eggs are boiled, and only the contents of the eggs are cooked separately.

However, when only the contents of the egg are boiled separately, it is difficult for the contents of the egg to maintain the shape of the egg without an egg shell, and thus difficult to use in cooking.

Therefore, the embodiment is not limited to a specific form of the illustrated area, and includes, for example, modification of the form by manufacturing.

Hereinafter, an egg boiler according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

For reference, the egg boiler according to an embodiment of the present invention is for boiling an egg. At this time, for convenience of explanation, the following describes the boiled egg boiled in a pot with water, but the boiled egg can be used in a steamer or steam oven that does not require water, without dipping it directly in water. Of course it can.

First, referring to Figures 1 to 5, the egg boiler 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

1 to 5, the egg boiler 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is combined with the container 110 and the container 110 containing the contents of the egg with the eggshell removed, but the container 110 It includes a guard bracket 120 provided on one side of the open side of the 110 and the cap 130 coupled to the guard bracket 120 and covering the open side of the container 110.

The container 110 is a part of the contents of the egg with the eggshell removed. At this time, the container 110 may have one side open and the other side closed to contain the contents of the egg inside.

In addition, the container 110 is formed in an oval shape corresponding to the egg shape, and accordingly, the contents of the egg boiled in the container 110 become the same shape as the egg shape.

On the other hand, it is preferable that the container 110 is made of Santoprene material. When the container 110 is formed of a santoprene material, the color expression of the container 110 is varied and a flexible design is possible, so that the weight can be reduced. In addition, since the container 110 formed of a material made of xanthoprene has a wide use temperature range, it is easy to process, improves the quality and dimensional stability of the egg cooker 100, and is recyclable, so it is environmentally friendly. There is this. However, unlike this, it is also possible to form the container 110 with silicon.

For reference, it is preferable that the container 110 is made of a flexible material such as xanthoprene, silicone, and the like. If, unlike this, the container 110 is made of a hard material, it is difficult to remove the contents of the boiled egg from the container 110, and the contents of the ripe egg adhere to the inner surface of the container 110 so that the contents of the egg are eggs. It can be difficult to maintain shape.

For reference, it is preferable that the container 110 is provided to have a certain thickness. If the thickness of the container 110 is too thin, it may be difficult to balance the container 110 contained in a pot filled with water because the container 110 does not maintain its shape.

Meanwhile, a support portion 112 may be formed at a lower portion of the container 110 to balance the pot in the pot. The support part 112 is provided in at least two or more, so that the container 110 can balance the bottom of the pot containing water, and in particular, it is preferable to be provided in four radially.

Referring to FIG. 4, the container 110-1 may be formed in a triangular column, a star column, and various shapes instead of an oval shape of an egg shape.

For example, as shown in Fig. 4 (a), when the container 110-1 is formed in a triangular column shape, the contents of the cooked egg are removed by removing the egg shell inside the container 110-1. In the form of a triangular pillar having the same shape as (110-1), as shown in FIG. 4(b), when the container 110-1 is formed in the form of a star column, it is cooked in a container 110-1. The contents of the ground egg are star-shaped in the same shape as the container 110-1. In addition, as shown in Figure 4 (c), when the container 110-1 is formed in the shape of a heart pillar, the contents of the eggs cooked in the container 110-1 are the same as the container 110-1. In the shape of a pillar of the heart, as shown in Figure 4 (d), when the container 110-1 is formed in the form of a flower column, the contents of the cooked egg contained in the container 110-1 is a container 110- It becomes the flower column shape of the same form as 1). Thus, the contents of the eggs cooked in the container 110-1 according to the shape of the container 110-1 have the same shape as that of the container 110-1.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the contents of the egg cooked by the container 110 have various shapes as the containers 110-1 are formed in various shapes, interest of children who are reluctant to eat eggs And it has the effect of inducing fun to facilitate the intake of eggs to children.

Guard bracket 120 is coupled to the container (110). In other words, the guard bracket 120 is coupled to contact the outer circumferential surface of the container 110, but is provided adjacent to the open side of the container 110.

Specifically, it is located at the upper end of the container 110 of the guard bracket 120. At this time, the first stepped 114 and the second stepped 116 are formed at the upper end of the container 110 to facilitate the coupling of the guard bracket 120. That is, the guard bracket 120 may be positioned between the first stepped 114 and the second stepped 116 of the container 110 to be coupled with the outer circumferential surface of the container 110.

Here, the first stepped 114 and the second stepped 116 prevent the guard bracket 120 from being moved relative to the container 110 and at the same time hold the position of the guard bracket 120 relative to the container 110. Can give.

For reference, the second step 116 may be omitted on the outer circumferential surface of the container 110 to form only the first step 114, or both the first step 114 and the second step 116 may be omitted. At this time, through the tolerance formed between the container 110 and the guard bracket 120 may be fitted using the interference fit method of the container 110 and the guard bracket 120.

For reference, although the drawing shows that the guard bracket 120 is formed in a tube shape so that its inner circumferential surface is coupled to contact the outer circumferential surface of the container 110, the guard bracket 120 is not necessarily limited thereto. It can be modified in any form that can be combined with.

In addition, the guard bracket 120 is preferably formed of a hard synthetic resin material, unlike the container 110. For example, the guard bracket 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed of polypropylene (PP).

The cap 130 is combined with the guard bracket 120 to cover one open side of the container 110. The cap 130 is screwed with the guard bracket 120, that is, the cap coupling portion 134 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cap 130 and the guard coupling portion 124 formed on the inner surface of the guard bracket 120 are mutually Combined.

Meanwhile, an air outlet 131 is formed in the cap 130. In the process of heating the pot by putting the egg boiler (100) in a pot with water, it is for discharging the air inside the container (110) to the outside.

When the egg boiler 100 is boiled, the temperature of the egg boiler 100 itself rises, and air inside the closed container 110 is opened by the combination of the guard bracket 120 and the cap 130. I have no choice but to kick it. At this time, the hot air inside the container 110 must be discharged to the outside through the air outlet 131 so that the contents of the egg contained in the container 110 overflow from the container 110 or the container 110 bursts. Can be prevented.

For reference, as shown in FIG. 2, in order to more effectively discharge the steam inside the container 110 to the outside, one air outlet 131 is provided at the front of the handle 150 and one at the back of the handle 150. It is preferable to form at least two or more.

Meanwhile, a handle 150 is formed at an upper end of the cap 130. The handle 150 is intended to facilitate the movement of the egg boiler 100 with a high temperature when it is cooked by putting the egg boiler 100 in a pot or microwave containing water from the pot or microwave.

Here, the handle 150 is not formed integrally with the cap 130, but is formed separately from the cap 130. Accordingly, when the handle 150 is coupled to the upper end of the cap 130, it can be coupled using a variety of methods, but it is preferable to be coupled to the upper end of the cap 130 using an ultrasonic welding method.

In addition, at least one fitting tool 152 is formed on the handle 150 to assist the movement of the egg-cooking apparatus 100. The fitting tool 152 may be one means for moving the egg boiler 100 in the heated water. Here, as shown in the drawing, the fitting tool 152 may be formed in various shapes such as a triangle, a square, a circle, and a polygon to improve the aesthetics of the egg-boiling apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Here, the cap 130 and the handle 150 are also preferably formed of a hard synthetic resin material, such as the garden bracket 120 described above. For example, the cap 130 and the handle 150 according to an embodiment of the present invention are formed of polypropylene (PP).

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, the egg-boiling apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a shape frame 160. In other words, the shape frame 160 is for forming a predetermined pattern when the contents of the egg contained in the container 110 is cooked.

Here, the shape frame 160 may be coupled to be detachable inside the cap 130.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, one surface of the shape frame 160 is formed with a protrusion 162 protruding in one direction, and an inner surface of the cap 130 has a protrusion coupled with a protrusion 162. A portion 133 may be provided. Accordingly, when the cap 130 and the guard bracket 120 are coupled while the protrusion 162 of the shape frame 160 is fitted to the protrusion coupling part 133 of the cap 130, inside the container 110 The pattern of the same shape as the shape of the shape frame 160 is formed at the upper end of the contents of the contained egg.

For reference, in the drawing, although the shape frame 160 is illustrated as being detachable by the protrusion portion 162 and the protrusion coupling portion 133 with respect to the inner surface of the cap 130, the shape frame 160 is not limited thereto. It can be modified in any form that can be detached from the cap 130. In addition, although the shape frame 160 is illustrated as being formed in a heart shape, it may be modified into various shapes such as a square or a circle having a certain thickness.

On the other hand, as described above, the egg boiler 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention when boiled the contents of the egg contained in the container 110 by putting it in a pot containing water, the egg boiler 100 is When skewed or turned over in one direction, the contents of the cooked egg contained in the container 110 become very difficult to form an egg shape, that is, an oval. Therefore, it is necessary to stably maintain the position of the egg boiler 100 with respect to the water in the pot.

For this reason, the egg boiler 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is placed in a pot soaked in water to maintain a stable position of the egg boiler 100 in the process of heating the pot. ).

The position maintaining unit 140 provides buoyancy so that the position of the egg boiling device 100 is stably maintained in the process of heating the pot by putting the egg boiling device 100 in a pot containing water. The position maintaining portion 140 is formed along the circumference of the upper end of the container 110, for example, it is provided in the form of an air tube (air-tube).

Specifically, the position maintaining unit 140 may be provided by mutual coupling of the guard bracket 120 and the cap 130. The guard bracket 120 is formed with a first groove 122 having a convex shape along the circumference of the edge of the guard bracket 120, and the cap 130 has a convex shape along the circumference of the cap 130. 2 grooves 132 are formed.

At this time, since the guard bracket 120 and the cap 130 are formed with the same size, that is, a diameter, when the guard bracket 120 and the cap 130 are mutually coupled, the first groove 122 and the cap of the guard bracket 120 are capped. The second groove 132 of 130 is completely in contact. Then, a space is inevitably formed between the first groove 122 and the second groove 132, and this space may be referred to as a position maintaining unit 140.

Here, when the egg boiler (100) is placed in a pot containing water and the pot is heated, the cap (130) is positioned to contact the surface (H) of the water contained in the pot, and the guard bracket ( The upper part of the 120) is positioned to contact the surface H of the water in the pot, but the lower part of the guard bracket 120 is immersed in the water in the pot. That is, the egg-boiling apparatus 100 can maintain a stable position while floating on the water because buoyancy is generated with respect to the water contained in the pot by the position holding unit 140.

On the other hand, unlike the egg boiler 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention described above, when the position retainer 140 is not provided, the pot containing water using various methods as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 It is possible to stably maintain the position of the egg boiler (100).

If, if the plurality of egg-boiling devices (100-1) in which the position maintaining unit 140 is not formed is heated in a pot containing water without taking any action, the egg-boiling devices (100-1) as the water is heated May be skewed to one side or upside down.

At this time, the egg boiler (100-1) may be provided as a set (set) further comprises a tray 170. The tray 170 is to perform the same role as the position retaining portion 140 formed in the egg boiler 100 according to the above-described embodiment.

When a plurality of egg boilers (100-1) is mounted on the tray 170, its position is stable so that the plurality of egg boilers (100-1) are not biased or turned over in any direction by the tray (170). Can be maintained.

Here, a plurality of mounting holes 172 are formed in the tray 170 so that a plurality of egg boilers 100-1 may be inserted and mounted. The diameter of the mounting hole 172 is the same as the diameter of the egg boiler 100, that is, the container 110 or larger than the diameter of the container 110, but may be formed smaller than the diameter of the guard bracket 120. Accordingly, even if the water boiled in the pot boils, the mounted egg-cooking apparatus 100 mounted on the mounting hole 172 can effectively prevent the product from being biased or collapsed. For reference, although four mounting holes 172 are formed in one tray 170 in the drawing, the number of mounting holes 172 may vary.

On the other hand, referring to Figures 7 and 8, the cap 130-2 of the egg boiler 100-2 is largely formed.
