[0057] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 23As shown, a multifunctional intelligent tea table is provided, including a cabinet 100, which integrates a water adding module, a tea adding module and a residual tea processing module. The water adding module includes a tea cup placement area 101, a water outlet 102 with a roller, a driving device, a first water pump 103 and a heating device, wherein the heating device adopts a double water container 104 structure placed at both ends of the interior of the cabinet, and a heating plate 105 is provided at the bottom of the water container. The tea adding module connects the tea placement inlet 201 with the water container through a pipe. The residual tea processing module is equipped with a wastewater collection box 202, a flushing water gun 203 and a transmission mechanism including a motor, a connecting rod 205 and a screw 206, which can control the lateral displacement and longitudinal separation of the water container.

[0059] Among them, the water outlet driving device refers to a mechanical component that drives the water outlet to move linearly and rotate along the roller 106. Specifically, a stepper motor or motor can be used to drive the gear rack or belt 107 to cover different positions of the teacup placement area through linear motion, and the water outlet angle can be adjusted in combination with the rotation function.

[0060] The double water container structure refers to independent water storage containers placed at both ends of the cabinet. It can be realized by using a composite structure of a stainless steel inner liner and an insulation layer. The split design realizes alternating heating and water supply, avoiding the single container waiting empty.

[0061] The connecting rod and screw of the transmission mechanism refer to the mechanical components that link the displacement of the water container. Specifically, they can be realized by a combination of a multi-stage telescopic rod made of aluminum alloy and a ball screw. The motor drives the water container to move horizontally and lift it vertically, so that it can be tilted to empty the slag and separate from the heating plate.

[0062] Specifically, when a water cup is placed in the teacup placement area, the water outlet automatically adds water to the cup. During the water adding process, the water pump draws hot water from the water container to the water outlet in the roller conveyor. The drive device controls the water outlet to move to the target position and fills the teacup with water. When adding tea leaves, the tea leaves fall directly into the water container through the inlet and pipe to participate in brewing. In the residual tea processing stage, the motor drives the screw to lower the heating plate out of the water container, and then the connecting rod pushes the water container to move to the top of the wastewater collection box and tilt it to a preset angle. At the same time, the water gun sprays water to flush the inner wall of the container to complete the residue removal and wastewater collection.

[0063] Compared with existing technologies, traditional tea tables are usually only equipped with a single water storage container, which requires manual dumping of tea leaves and cannot achieve continuous water supply. However, this solution uses the alternating operation of two water containers and an automated residue cleaning mechanism to form a closed loop for the water adding, brewing and cleaning processes, significantly reducing the frequency of manual intervention.

[0064] Through the above technical solution, the entire process of tea addition, hot water supply and residue disposal is automated. Users only need to place tea cups and tea leaves to complete the brewing operation. At the same time, it avoids the hygiene problems caused by residue retention on traditional tea tables, significantly improving the convenience of use and the cleanliness of the environment.

[0065] Furthermore, there are two wastewater collection boxes, both located between the two water containers; there are two first water pumps, each connected to the two water containers; when the water boils, the solenoid valve is used to select one of the two first water pumps to pump water.

[0066] Among them, the wastewater collection box refers to a container for collecting wastewater generated after flushing the water container. It can be specifically realized by using a split stainless steel box structure. Its design of being located between the two water containers can shorten the moving distance of the water container for dumping wastewater.

[0067] The first water pump refers to a power device for transporting water in the water container to the water outlet, which can be specifically achieved by using a micro centrifugal pump. The layout of two water pumps independently corresponding to the water container can avoid cross-contamination of the water channel.

[0068] A solenoid valve refers to an electric valve that controls the on and off of a water pump. Specifically, it can be implemented using a two-way two-position solenoid valve. By switching the on and off state of the circuit, the corresponding water pump is selected to operate, thereby achieving independent water supply control of the two water containers.

[0069] Specifically, when one of the water containers completes its water heating operation, the transmission module drives it to move horizontally to the center position and tilt it toward the wastewater collection box. The flushed wastewater is then discharged directly into the corresponding collection box. The other water container can remain stationary and continue to perform its water heating task. The two primary water pumps are connected to their respective water containers via independent pipes. When the water heating function is selected on the user interface, the solenoid valve automatically switches to the idle pump to perform the pumping operation based on the current water level in the water container. For example, when the left water container is being rinsed, the right water pump can independently supply water to the right water outlet, preventing interruptions in the water heating process.

[0070] Compared to existing tea tables, which typically use a single wastewater collection container and single water pump, this solution presents problems with wastewater contamination and poor water supply continuity. This solution utilizes a symmetrical arrangement of two collection boxes and two water pumps, allowing two water containers to alternately perform water heating and cleaning operations. The separate collection of cleaning wastewater prevents the spread of odors, and the independent operation of the two water pumps ensures that at least one water container is always operational.

[0071] This technical solution enables parallel processing of water heating and cleaning operations, effectively improving the stability of the tea station's continuous operation. The symmetrical layout of the wastewater collection box reduces the travel distance required to empty the water container, reducing the mechanical load on the transmission module. The dual water pumps, coupled with solenoid valve switching control, prevent system downtime caused by a single pump failure, ensuring a continuous supply of hot water for tea brewing.

[0072] Furthermore, a fan 207 is added to the residual tea processing module. The fan is installed in the interlayer of the transmission base 204 and is used to dry the water container after flushing.

[0073] A fan is a power device that generates airflow, specifically a centrifugal or axial flow fan. Rotating blades create a directional airflow to accelerate water evaporation. This feature is used in the technical solution to eliminate residual water stains on the surface of the water container after flushing, preventing bacterial growth in a humid environment.

[0074] Specifically, after the transmission module completes the lateral movement and tilting of the water container to drain, the water gun begins flushing. The fan then activates, directing air through the interlayer's heating element to generate hot air, which then flows through pre-set air ducts to evenly coat the inner surface of the water container. During this process, the transmission base drives the fan to adjust the airflow angle, aligning the hot air coverage area with the inner surface of the water container, achieving efficient drying.

[0075] Compared to existing technologies, traditional tea trays typically only handle residual tea by draining and rinsing, without considering the potential health risks posed by residual moisture on the container's interior. This solution, by adding a drying step, effectively addresses the technical drawback of the moist interior of the water container, which favors microbial growth. This solution ensures that the tea tray remains clean enough for the next brew.

[0076] This technical solution automatically dries the water container after cleaning the tea residue, eliminating the risk of secondary contamination from manual wiping. For example, in business reception settings, this technology ensures the tea set remains dry and clean during continuous brewing, significantly improving user experience and hygiene safety.

[0077] Furthermore, it also includes an air-to-water module, which includes a water tank 301, a second water pump 302, an air-to-water filter 303 and an air-to-water device 304 arranged inside the cabinet; the air-to-water device is used to obtain air to form pure water, and the air-to-water filter is used to filter the pure water and then introduce it into the water tank; the water tank is connected to the second water pump, and the second water pump is used to draw water from the water tank into a preset water container 305 in the cabinet.

[0078] Among them, the air-to-water device refers to a device that extracts moisture from the air by condensation or adsorption. Specifically, it can be implemented by a compression condensation or adsorption water production module, which at least includes a power supply battery, a PCB control circuit module, etc. Its function is to break through the limitation of traditional tea tables relying on external water sources. The air-to-water filtration device refers to a purification system with a multi-stage filtration structure. Specifically, it can be implemented by a filtration component composed of activated carbon, activated cotton, filter cotton, etc. combined with a reverse osmosis membrane or an ultrafiltration membrane. Its function is to remove impurities and microorganisms in the produced water. The water storage tank refers to a closed container for storing filtered pure water. Specifically, it can be made of stainless steel or food-grade plastic. Its function is to provide buffer capacity for the continuous water supply of the tea table. The second water pump refers to a power device that controls the water storage tank to deliver water to the preset water container. Specifically, it can be implemented by a micro centrifugal pump or a diaphragm pump. Its function is to realize the automatic connection between the water production module and the tea table water supply system.

[0079] Specifically, the air-to-water module converts water vapor in the ambient air into liquid water through an air-to-water device. The resulting water flows through an air-to-water filter for sterilization and purification before being temporarily stored in a water storage tank. When the preset water container needs to be replenished, a second water pump starts and transfers water from the water storage tank to the preset water container. This entire process requires no human intervention to connect to an external water source. For example, in a high-humidity environment, the air-to-water device can generate enough water per hour to replenish the preset water container.

[0080] Compared to existing technologies, traditional tea tables rely on external water tanks or connected water pipes for water supply, which can lead to limited water sources and complex installation. This solution, by integrating an air-to-water module, can independently generate pure, drinkable water, making it particularly suitable for locations without a fixed water source. Existing technologies do not disclose integrated solutions for directly supplying water to tea tables using air-to-water and filtration devices.

[0081] Through the above technical solution, the self-sufficiency of the tea table water supply system is achieved, avoiding the operation of frequently adding external water sources. At the same time, water quality safety is ensured through multi-stage filtration, solving the convenience and health hazards caused by the traditional tea table's dependence on water sources.

[0082] Furthermore, it also includes an air purification module, which includes an air inlet 401 arranged on the side of the cabinet, an air outlet 402 arranged at the bottom of the cabinet, a filter layer 403 arranged inside the cabinet and connected to the air inlet and the air outlet, and a first fan 404 arranged on the inner wall of the cabinet and facing the filter layer.

[0083] The air inlet refers to an opening structure set on the side of the cabinet for introducing external air. Specifically, it can be implemented by using holes with adjustable grilles to control the amount of air entering and block large particles of impurities. The filter layer refers to a purification structure composed of multiple layers of different materials. Specifically, it can be implemented by combining an activated carbon adsorption layer and a HEPA filter to remove odors, water vapor and tiny particles in the air. The first fan refers to a mechanical device installed inside the cabinet to accelerate the flow of air. Specifically, it can be implemented by using a low-noise centrifugal fan to drive the air from the air inlet through the filter layer to the air outlet.

[0084] Specifically, when the tea table is in operation, the air inlets on the side of the cabinet continuously draw in ambient air. The first fan activates, creating negative pressure and accelerating the air into the filter layer. The multi-layered filter structure intercepts and absorbs tea dust, residual water vapor, and odor molecules in the air. The purified air is then evenly discharged through the outlet at the bottom of the cabinet. This air circulation system effectively improves the air quality in the tea-making area, preventing dust and odor from accumulating on the teaware surfaces.

[0085] Compared to existing technologies, traditional tea tables lack air purification, making the tea brewing environment susceptible to moisture and tea stains. Existing air purification equipment is often a standalone device that takes up space. This solution integrates the air inlet, filter layer, and outlet within the cabinet, and uses a built-in fan to create directional airflow. This achieves active purification of the ambient air while maintaining the tea table's compact structure.

[0086] This technical solution effectively removes steam odors and ambient particulate matter generated during tea brewing, maintaining the cleanliness of teaware and improving the air quality in the tea drinking space. The air purification module works in conjunction with other tea station functions, eliminating the need for separate purification equipment.

[0087] Furthermore, it also includes a tea set disinfection module, which includes a third water pump 501 arranged inside the cabinet, a disinfection and cleaning box 504 connected to a preset water container, and a second fan 502; the third water pump is used to draw water from the preset water container to the disinfection and cleaning box; the disinfection and cleaning box is arranged above the wastewater collection box, and a heating plate 503 is provided at the bottom of the disinfection and cleaning box; the air outlet of the second fan is arranged toward the disinfection and cleaning box; there are multiple cup placement positions in the disinfection and cleaning box, and a sewage outlet opening toward the wastewater collection box.

[0088] The third water pump is a liquid transfer device used to transfer water from a pre-set water container to the disinfection and cleaning box. Specifically, a micro-diaphragm pump can be used to provide water support for the cleaning process. The disinfection and cleaning box is a container used to hold and disinfect tea sets. Specifically, a stainless steel box structure can be used. The tea sets are positioned securely by setting a cup placement position. The bottom heating plate uses an electric heating wire to achieve high-temperature sterilization. The heating plate is a heat source component integrated into the bottom of the disinfection and cleaning box. Specifically, a cast aluminum heating plate can be used. When powered, it generates a high temperature to kill microorganisms on the surface of the tea sets. The second fan is a ventilation device that accelerates air flow within the disinfection and cleaning box. Specifically, an axial-flow fan can be used to promote evaporation of moisture from the tea sets through directional air supply. The sewage outlet is a discharge channel connecting the disinfection and cleaning box to the wastewater collection box. Specifically, a funnel-shaped opening can be designed to use gravity to direct the cleaning wastewater into the collection box below.

[0089] Specifically, the disinfection and cleaning box obtains clean water from a preset water container through a third water pump and injects it into the box body to immerse the tea set. After the heating plate is powered on, the water temperature is raised to the sterilization temperature, for example, above 80°C, to perform high-temperature disinfection on the tea set. After the cleaning is completed, the second fan starts and blows air into the inside of the disinfection and cleaning box to speed up the evaporation of residual water. When the tea set is fixed in the cup position, the residual liquid and tea leaves fall directly into the wastewater collection box below through the drain outlet with an inclined design at the bottom. The wastewater generated during the cleaning process can be discharged along the drain outlet to avoid manual dumping operations.

[0090] Compared to existing technologies, traditional tea tables typically only serve as a storage space for tea sets and lack disinfection measures, making them susceptible to bacterial growth. This solution integrates a heating plate and a second fan within the disinfection cleaning box, achieving both high-temperature sterilization and rapid drying, addressing the hygienic risks associated with reused tea sets. While existing technologies require manual treatment of cleaning wastewater, this solution utilizes a directional drain port and wastewater collection box to create an automated drainage channel.

[0091] This technical solution achieves an integrated process for teaware cleaning, high-temperature sterilization, and rapid drying, effectively eliminating residual tea stains and bacteria on the surface of teaware. Washing wastewater is automatically discharged into a collection box via a directional drainage structure, eliminating manual cleaning. The placement of the cups ensures that the teaware remains stable during the disinfection process, preventing damage during cleaning.

[0092] Furthermore, it also includes a storage bin 601, which is detachably embedded in a groove on the outer surface of the cabinet.

[0093] The storage compartment refers to an independent container for storing tea sets or tea leaves, which can be implemented by a box structure with a partition, the size of which matches the groove to achieve a detachable connection. The detachable inlay refers to a fixation with the groove by means of a snap, a slide rail, or a magnet, which can be implemented by a structure that cooperates with a slide rail and a limit groove, so that users can quickly disassemble and assemble the storage compartment. The outer surface groove refers to a recessed area set on the side or front of the cabinet, which can be molded from metal or plastic. The depth of the groove can be adjusted according to the size of the storage compartment to accommodate containers of different specifications.

[0094] Specifically, the storage bin is embedded in a groove on the side of the cabinet through a slide rail structure, and locking clips are provided on both sides of the slide rail to fix the storage bin in place. When the user needs to clean or replace the storage bin, they can press the clip to unlock it and pull the bin out along the slide rail. An anti-slip pad can be set at the bottom of the groove to enhance the stability of the storage bin, and the groove edge is chamfered to avoid scratches. The installation position of the storage bin can be selected according to user needs, such as setting multiple grooves symmetrically on both sides of the cabinet to support the flexible layout of multiple storage bins.

[0095] Compared with the existing technology, the storage space of traditional tea tables is usually fixed inside the cabinet, and the position and quantity cannot be adjusted according to the size of the tea set or the usage scenario. This solution avoids occupying the space of the heating module or processing module in the cabinet through the design of an external detachable storage bin, and allows users to increase or decrease or adjust the position of the storage bin according to actual needs. For example, the storage capacity can be quickly expanded in a scene where multiple people drink tea.

[0096] The above technical solution solves the problem of inconvenience in storing tea sets caused by the fixed storage space of the tea table. The external detachable storage compartment enables classified storage and flexible expansion of tea sets, while avoiding heat loss or structural interference caused by frequent opening of the cabinet.

[0097] Furthermore, a movable cover 602 is provided at the tea-leaf placement entrance, and a sealing cover 603 is provided on the water container. The movable cover and the sealing cover are linked together. When the movable cover is closed, the sealing cover shields the water container, and when the movable cover is opened, the sealing cover opens.

[0098] The movable cover refers to a removable cover covering the tea-leaf entrance, which can be implemented using a slide rail or hinged structure. It is used to control the opening and closing of the tea-leaf entrance and prevent the entry of foreign matter. The sealed cover refers to a sealing component covering the opening of the water container. It can be implemented using an electric push rod with a sealing ring to drive the cover, which is used to maintain the airtightness of the water container and prevent heat loss. The linkage connection refers to the mechanical or electrically controlled transmission relationship between the two covers, which can be implemented using a gear rack linkage mechanism or a connecting rod synchronization mechanism, so that the actions of the two independent components are coordinated and controlled.

[0099] Specifically, when tea leaves are added to tea duct 208, the movable cover is manually or electrically opened, and a linkage mechanism simultaneously drives the sealing cover away from the top of the water container, establishing communication between the tea-dropping channel and the interior of the water container. After tea leaves are added, the movable cover returns to its original position, and the linkage mechanism drives the sealing cover back to cover the opening of the water container, creating a double-sealed structure. This linkage design ensures that a single action is required to synchronize the states of two key components. For example, when the movable cover slides open, a rack fixed to its bottom drives a gear to rotate, which in turn drives the opening and closing mechanism of the sealing cover via a rotating shaft.

[0100] Compared to existing technologies, traditional tea tables typically feature independently controlled lids for the tea inlet and water container. This requires separate openings, leading to cumbersome procedures and potentially steam leaks caused by asynchronous sealing. This solution achieves single-action dual control through a mechanical linkage mechanism, simplifying the operation process while ensuring reliable sealing during operation.

[0101] The above technical solution effectively solves the problem of external pollutants invading the water storage container during the tea adding process, avoids the sealing lag phenomenon caused by the step-by-step operation of traditional equipment, and reduces the risk of misoperation through linkage control, thereby improving the degree of automation of equipment operation and health and safety assurance.

[0102] Furthermore, a heating induction area is provided on the upper surface of the cabinet outside the teacup placement area, and the heating induction area is used to heat the cups placed thereon.

[0103] The size and location of the heating induction zone can be flexibly set, for example, around the teacup placement area. The heating induction zone is controlled by a switch to prevent the water in the cup from cooling down.

[0104] Furthermore, it also includes a control module arranged inside the cabinet, and the control module at least includes an operation interface area 604 arranged on the upper surface of the cabinet.

[0105] The control module refers to the central processing unit (CPU) integrated within the cabinet, which can be implemented as a microcontroller or embedded system. It coordinates the control of the water addition module, tea addition module, and residual tea processing module. The operation interface area refers to the human-computer interaction unit (HMI) located on the top surface of the cabinet, which can be implemented as a touch screen or physical button array. It receives user commands and provides feedback on the operating status of the equipment.

[0106] Specifically, the control module receives command signals from the user interface through a pre-set program, which in turn drives the first water pump and water outlet drive module of the water adding module, the tea pipe opening and closing mechanism of the tea adding module, and the drive motor and water gun of the residual tea treatment module to perform corresponding actions. For example, if the user selects "Automatic Tea Brewing" mode through the user interface, the control module will sequentially trigger the heating plate to heat up, the first water pump to pump water to the water outlet, and the water outlet to move along the roller conveyor to fill the water. After the water is filled, the residual tea treatment module will start to clean up the wastewater.

[0107] Compared with existing technologies, existing tea tables rely on independent buttons or mechanical switches to operate single functions, requiring users to manually switch between different modules multiple times. By integrating the control module with the operation interface area, automated control of multiple modules can be achieved, reducing operational complexity and improving functional execution consistency.

[0108] The above technical solution solves the problem of fragmented user experience caused by the dispersed functions of existing tea tables. Users can complete the entire process of adding water, making tea, cleaning, etc. through a unified operating interface, reducing manual intervention and improving the intelligence of the equipment and the convenience of operation.

[0109] In one implementation, the process of pouring out the remaining tea after drinking tea includes the following steps: 1) Figure 13 As shown, the motor drives the screw to lower the heating plate and distance it from the water container; 2) As shown Figure 21 As shown, the motor drives the belt to move, so that the water container moves horizontally to the top of the wastewater collection box; 3) As shown Figure 22 As shown, tilt the water container to a certain angle, and at the same time, use a water gun to spray water to flush the water container; 4) Figure 14 As shown, the fan dries the water container; 5) Figure 23 As shown, after the water container is dried, the motor drives the water container and the heating plate to return to their original positions.

[0110] The above is an explanation of the multifunctional smart tea table of the present invention, which is used to help understand the present invention. However, the implementation methods of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the principles of the present invention should be equivalent replacement methods and are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
