[0015] A tea soaking timer of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, a tea soaking timer includes a timing dial 1, a rotating shaft 2 and a chain 3 wound on the rotating shaft 2, the rotating shaft 2 is connected with the timing dial 1, one end of the chain 3 is wound on the rotating shaft 2, and the other end is connected to the tea The bag 4, by rotating the timing dial 1, can drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, and then drive the chain 3 to retract or extend.
[0017] In the present invention, the timing dial 1 is used to set the soaking time of the tea bag 4 in the water. It is installed on the cup cover 5 and includes a dial 10 and a knob 12. The knob 12 is connected with the rotating shaft 2, and the knob 12 is rotated. It can drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, and then drive the chain 3 to retract or extend. Among them, the dial 10 is provided with equally spaced scales and indicator lights, the indicator lights correspond to the scales, and the indicator lights go out with the extension of time. For example, if the set time is 3 minutes, when 1 minute has passed, turn the knob to 2 At the minute, the indicator light for 3 minutes is off, and only the indicator light for 2 minutes is on, so that the time can be seen clearly in the dark. The cup cover 5 is provided with a knob groove 54 , the knob 12 is embedded therein, and the dials 10 are distributed on the outer circumference of the knob groove 54 . The knob 12 is provided with a pointer, which can correspond to each scale reading on the dial 10 . By rotating the knob 12, the rotating shaft 2 is driven to rotate synchronously, and the chain 3 is loosened or tightened, so that the chain 3 is retracted or elongated.
[0018] In the present invention, refer to figure 2 As shown, the rotating shaft 2 is cylindrical for winding the chain 3, and the fixed end 20 of the rotating shaft 2 is arranged at both ends of the inner side wall of the cup cover 5, so that the rotating shaft 2 is perpendicular to the side wall of the cup cover 5; refer to image 3 As shown, the fixed end 20 of the rotating shaft 2 can also be arranged on the inner side of the top end of the cup cover 5, and the top inner side of the cup cover 5 extends into the cup body;
[0019] In order to conveniently fix the tea bag, the free end of the chain 3 is provided with a tea bag clip 6. When the tea bag needs to be put in, the tea bag is clamped by the tea bag clip 6 and extended into the cup body.
[0020] A water outlet 56 is opened on the top of the cup cover 5, and the tea in the cup body can be poured out through the water outlet 56 to facilitate drinking.
[0021] The timer is equivalent to a mechanical timer, takes the spring as the motive force, uses the escapement governor to control the travel time precision, and controls the action of the actuator according to the time period preset by the time control mechanism through the gear transmission and the cam. Among them, it includes a power part, a release part and a timing trigger device. The power part includes a mainspring and a one-way mechanism for winding the mainspring, so that when manually twisting, it can only be tightened and not loosened. Winding the mainspring provides the power for the entire system. The release part is shifted by a series of gears, which increases the number of revolutions when the mainspring is slack. At the end of the gear train, there are escape wheels, escapement pawls and hairsprings to ensure that the gear train rotates at a constant speed driven by the mainspring. There is a device to adjust the length of the hairspring on the hairspring to adjust the frequency of the escapement claw swing, to ensure that the gear rotates at the set speed, and the tightened spring will not be loosened at once, and it will not be affected by the tightness of the spring. resulting in a change in rotational speed. The timing trigger device makes a gear in the gear train turn to a certain angle to send out an electrical signal or a mechanical signal, stop power supply or sound a bell. The user twists the timer to a certain scale, one is to tighten the mainspring to provide power, so that the timer starts to work, and the scale screwed at the same time sets the trigger position of the trigger mechanism; then the whole structure is under the control of the escape wheel , Slowly release the power of the mainspring, and the gears at all levels start to rotate at a constant speed until the trigger mechanism moves.
[0022] When the tea bag needs to be immersed in the body of the cup, turn the knob 12 to the set time, such as timing 3 minutes, the knob 12 drives the spring to tighten, the free end of the chain 3 clamps the tea bag through the tea bag clamp 6, and Reach into the cup body. With the passage of time, the release part driving knob 12 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate counterclockwise. With the rotation of the rotating shaft, the chain 3 is slowly retracted and wound on the rotating shaft. When the set time is up, the tea bag will leave the water surface. In this way, according to different requirements, such as the user's habit or the tea taste requirements of different varieties of tea, the soaking time of the tea bag in water can be controlled to achieve the best tea tasting effect and taste.
