In addition, the descriptions of up, down, left, right, etc. used in the present invention are only relative to the relative positional relationship of the components of the present invention in the drawings.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 4A soaking lifting mechanism 1 includes a soaking container 11, a filtering part 12, an elastic member 13 and an adjusting member 14.

[0039] The soaking container 11 is provided with a soaking chamber 111 .

[0040] The filter part 12 is arranged in the soaking chamber 111 in a liftable manner. The filter part 12 is provided with a receiving chamber 121 and a water-permeable hole connecting the receiving chamber 121 with the soaking chamber 111. The receiving chamber 121 can contain tea leaves. The upper end surface of the side wall of the receiving chamber 121 is a contact surface 122. The contact surface 122 has a bottom 1221, a top 1222 and a transition surface 1223 connecting the bottom 1221 and the top 1222. The distance from the top 1222 to the bottom wall of the soaking chamber 111 is greater than the distance from the bottom 1221 to the bottom wall of the soaking chamber 111. That is, the top 1222 is higher than the bottom 1221.

[0041] The adjusting member 14 is provided with a contact portion 141 that can move horizontally. When the contact portion 141 moves, it contacts with the contact surface 122 and the contact position moves between the bottom 1221, the top 1222 and the transition surface 1223, so that the filter 12 can be raised or lowered. Specifically, the adjusting member 14 is located above the soaking container 11. The horizontal movement of the contact portion 141 mentioned here can be horizontal rotation or horizontal translation, as long as it keeps contact with the contact surface 122 during the movement. Correspondingly, for different movement trajectories of the contact portion 141, the horizontal projection of the contact surface 122 should be set accordingly. For example, when the contact portion 141 rotates horizontally, the horizontal projection of the contact surface 122 should be circular or arc-shaped. When the contact portion 141 translates horizontally, the horizontal projection of the contact surface 122 should be linear.

[0042] Based on the above structure, when the soaking and lifting mechanism 1 is in use, water is added to the soaking chamber 111, and the water enters the accommodating chamber 121 through the water-permeable hole. Tea leaves are put into the accommodating chamber 121 of the filter 12, and the abutting portion 141 is moved horizontally by the adjusting member 14, and the elastic force of the elastic member 13 keeps the contact surface 122 of the filter 12 in contact with the abutting portion 141; when the adjusting member 14 moves, the abutting position between the adjusting member 14 and the contact surface 122 moves between the bottom 1221, the top 1222, and the transition surface 1223, and when the abutting position is at the top 1222, the filter 12 drops to the bottom 1221, and gradually rises when moving from the top 1222 to the bottom 1221, and rises to the bottom 1221 when reaching the bottom 1221, that is, the filter 12 can be lifted and lowered with the tea leaves by the horizontal movement of the abutting portion 141 of the adjusting member 14, so that the tea leaves are immersed in water or lifted above the water level, meeting the needs of customers. Specifically, when the movement of the abutment portion 141 is horizontal rotation: the soaking chamber 111 is cylindrical, the adjusting member 14 is provided with a ferrule 142 that can match the soaking chamber 111, and the abutment portion 141 is fixedly connected to the ferrule 142. That is, the adjusting member 14 realizes horizontal rotation relative to the soaking chamber 111 through the ferrule 142, driving the abutment portion 141 to rotate horizontally. Correspondingly, the outer side surface of the filter portion 12 matches the soaking chamber 111, and the projection of the contact surface 122 on the horizontal plane is circular. Based on this, when the adjusting member 14 is rotated, the abutment portion 141 can be horizontally rotated together, and the abutment portion 141 moves along the contact surface 122. Under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 13, the abutment is maintained, and the movement of the abutment position on the bottom 1221, the top 1222, and the transition surface 1223 causes the filter portion 12 to change up and down.

[0043] In order to prevent the ring 142 from continuously moving upward due to the elastic force of the elastic member 13, a circle of limiting ring grooves 115 is provided on the inner wall of the soaking chamber 111, and a limiting protrusion 1421 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the ring 142, which is inserted into the limiting ring groove 113 and can move along the limiting ring groove 115. Through the cooperation of the limiting ring groove 115 and the limiting protrusion 1421, the upper and lower positional relationship between the ring 142 and the soaking container 11 can be limited, and the ring 142 can be ensured to rotate relative to the soaking container 11.

[0044] Preferably, the soaking and lifting mechanism 1 further comprises an elastic member 13, one end of the elastic member 13 abuts against the filter part 12, and the opposite end abuts against the soaking container 11, and when the abutting part 141 moves, the elastic member 13 is compressed or releases elastic potential energy to make the filter part 12 rise and fall. Specifically, the elastic member 13 is arranged in the soaking chamber 111 below the filter part 12. When the abutting part 141 moves from the top 1222 to the bottom 1221, the filter part 12 descends, and the elastic member 13 is compressed. When the abutting part 141 moves from the bottom 1221 to the top 1222, the elastic member 13 unfolds, releases elastic potential energy, and the filter part 12 rises, that is, the elastic force of the elastic member 13 is used to help the filter part 12 rise, and the abutting contact between the abutting part 141 and the contact surface 122 is maintained.

[0045] In addition, the bottom 1221 and the top 1222 are arranged with the axis of the filter 12 as the axis. The bottom 1221 and the top 1222 can be set in multiple numbers, and the number can be equal or unequal. It is preferably set to be equal in number. When arranged, they are arranged around the above-mentioned axis. They can be arranged in sequence with uniform intervals, or they can be arranged unevenly, but it is preferably arranged evenly. The feel is regular and more uniform when used. The abutment portion 141 is arranged with the axis of the filter 12 as the axis. Specifically, the number of the abutment portions 141 is equal to the number of the top 1222 or the bottom 1221 and is evenly arranged with the axis of the filter 12 as the axis. Its arrangement has regularity, and the feel is relatively better and more stable. In this arrangement, when the abutment portion 141 rotates a circle, the abutment position passes through the bottom 1221 and the top 1222 for many times, and the filter 12 is lifted and lowered between the top 1222 and the bottom 1221 for many times, which is more convenient when the filter 12 needs to be immersed up and down. The number of the bottoms 1221 and the tops 1222 can be 2, 3, 4 or even more. Preferably, the number of the bottoms 1221 and the tops 1222 is set to 3.

[0046] In order to facilitate the user to adjust the position of the abutment portion 141, the upper end of the ring 142 is provided with a stopper 143 outside the soaking chamber 111 to limit the ring. In addition, the user can rotate the adjusting member 14 through the stopper 143, thereby rotating the abutment portion 141 to perform the up and down soaking lifting mechanism 1. Preferably, a plurality of stoppers 143 are provided and arranged at intervals, and a groove 144 is provided between two adjacent stoppers 143 to further facilitate gripping and enhance the gripping feel. Preferably, the soaking lifting mechanism also includes a driving part, which abuts the groove 144 and drives the adjusting member 14 to move so that the filter part is lifted and lowered. The driving part can be a motor or other driving device, the output end of the motor abuts the groove 144, and the adjusting member 14 is rotated by rotation, so that the filter part 12 is lifted and lowered.

[0047] The transition surface 1223 is a curved surface, which facilitates the movement of the abutment portion 141 along the transition surface 1223. Preferably, the tangent of the top 1222 is set horizontally, so that when the abutment portion 141 abuts against the top 1222, the force of the abutment portion 141 on the filter portion 12 is vertically downward. At this time, after the user lets go, the force can offset the elastic force of the elastic member 13, and the filter portion 12 will not rise again. As a preferred embodiment, the transition surface 1223 is set as a smooth curved surface, which facilitates the abutment portion 141 to move more smoothly and provide a better hand feel for the user.

[0048] The elastic member 13 may be a common compression spring. In one embodiment, the elastic member 13 is a conical spring 131. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. One end of the tower spring is a small end, and the other end is a large end. The diameter of the large end is larger than that of the small end. The small end abuts against the soaking container 11, and the large end abuts against the filter 12. This arrangement facilitates stable force between the movable filter 12 and the tower spring 131, and does not deflect and jam the filter 12 during the lifting process. In addition, the soaking container 11 is provided with a convex ring 113 for the small end to be embedded and positioned, so as to fix the small end and provide stable support.

[0049] In addition, in one embodiment, the elastic member 13 may also be a spring sheet 132, such as Figure 3 As shown, the spring sheet 132 is continuously bent in a Z shape, with its upper end abutting against the filter portion 12 and its lower end abutting against the soaking container 11. The spring sheet 132 can also maintain the abutment between the contact surface 122 and the abutment portion 141. A plurality of spring sheets 132 can be provided to ensure force balance.

[0050] In one embodiment, the elastic member 13 may also be a spring rod 133, such as Figure 4 As shown, it includes a rod body 1331, a rod sleeve 1332 and a compression spring 1333. The rod sleeve 1332 is provided with a hole, and the rod body 1331 is inserted into the hole and can be retracted. The compression spring 1333 is sleeved on the rod body 1331 and its two ends respectively abut against the outer end of the rod body 1331 and the rod sleeve 1332. One end of the spring rod 133 away from the rod sleeve 1332 abuts against the filter part 12, and one end of the rod sleeve 1332 away from the rod body 1331 abuts against the soaking container 11. The spring rod 133 can also keep the contact surface 122 and the abutment part 141 in abutment. Multiple spring rods 133 can be provided to ensure force balance.

[0051] In addition, in order to prevent the filter part 12 from rotating during the lifting and lowering process, a guide structure is provided between the filter part 12 and the soaking chamber 111. The soaking and lifting mechanism 1 also includes a longitudinal slide groove 123 and a guide block 114. Among them, the longitudinal slide groove 123 is arranged on one of the inner wall of the soaking chamber 111 or the outer wall of the filter part 12; the guide block 114 is arranged on the other of the inner wall and the outer wall, and the guide block 114 is embedded in the longitudinal slide groove 123 and can slide up and down along the longitudinal slide groove 123. As shown in the figure, the slide groove 123 is arranged on the soaking and lifting mechanism 1, and the guide block 114 is arranged on the inner wall of the soaking chamber 111. The guide block 114 can limit the rotation of the filter part 12 relative to the soaking chamber 111 during lifting and lowering, affecting the normal lifting and lowering of the filter part 12.

[0052] A kettle, comprising a kettle body (not shown in the figure), and also comprising the soaking and lifting mechanism 1 as described above; the soaking container 11 is installed in the kettle body and the adjusting member 14 is at least partially exposed outside the kettle body, and the soaking container 11 is also provided with a filter hole 112 connecting the soaking chamber 111 with the inner cavity of the kettle body. The soaking container 11 is in the kettle body, and the water in the kettle body enters the soaking container 11 through the filter hole 112 to soak the tea leaves in the filter part 12, and can also play the role of filtering the tea leaves. The user can move the adjusting member 14 through the part of the adjusting member 14 exposed outside the kettle body, thereby driving the abutment member to move horizontally to adjust the upper and lower positions of the filter part 12 in the soaking container 11.

[0053] Embodiment 1:

[0054] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A soaking lifting mechanism 1 includes a soaking container 11, a filtering part 12, an elastic member 13 and an adjusting member 14.

[0055] The soaking container 11 is provided with a soaking chamber 111 .

[0056] The filter part 12 is arranged in the soaking chamber 111 in a liftable manner. The filter part 12 is provided with a receiving chamber 121 and a water-permeable hole connecting the receiving chamber 121 with the soaking chamber 111. The receiving chamber 121 can contain tea leaves. The upper end surface of the side wall of the receiving chamber 121 is a contact surface 122. The contact surface 122 has a bottom 1221, a top 1222 and a transition surface 1223 connecting the bottom 1221 and the top 1222. The distance from the top 1222 to the bottom wall of the soaking chamber 111 is greater than the distance from the bottom 1221 to the bottom wall of the soaking chamber 111. That is, the top 1222 is higher than the bottom 1221.

[0057] The adjusting member 14 is located above the soaking container 11. The adjusting member 14 is provided with a contact portion 141 that can move horizontally. When the contact portion 141 moves, it contacts with the contact surface 122, and the contact position moves between the bottom 1221, the top 1222, and the transition surface 1223. The horizontal movement of the contact portion 141 mentioned here can be horizontal rotation or horizontal translation, as long as it keeps contact with the contact surface 122 during the movement. Correspondingly, for different movement trajectories of the contact portion 141, the horizontal projection of the contact surface 122 should be set accordingly. For example, when the contact portion 141 rotates horizontally, the horizontal projection of the contact surface 122 should be circular or arc-shaped. When the contact portion 141 translates horizontally, the horizontal projection of the contact surface 122 should be linear.

[0058] The elastic member 13 has one end abutting against the filter part 12 and the opposite end abutting against the soaking container 11. Specifically, the elastic member 13 is arranged in the soaking chamber 111 below the filter part 12. When the abutting part 141 moves, the elastic member 13 is compressed or releases elastic potential energy to make the filter part 12 rise and fall. In this embodiment, the elastic member 13 is a conical spring 131. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. One end of the tower spring is a small end, and the other end is a large end. The diameter of the large end is larger than that of the small end. The small end abuts against the soaking container 11, and the large end abuts against the filter 12. This arrangement facilitates stable force between the movable filter 12 and the tower spring 131, and does not deflect and jam the filter 12 during the lifting process. In addition, the soaking container 11 is provided with a convex ring 113 for the small end to be embedded and positioned, so as to fix the small end and provide stable support.

[0059] Based on the above structure, when the soaking and lifting mechanism 1 is in use, water is added to the soaking chamber 111, and the water enters the accommodating chamber 121 through the water-permeable hole. Tea leaves are put into the accommodating chamber 121 of the filter 12, and the abutting portion 141 is moved horizontally by the adjusting member 14, and the elastic force of the elastic member 13 keeps the contact surface 122 of the filter 12 in contact with the abutting portion 141; when the adjusting member 14 moves, the abutting position between the adjusting member 14 and the contact surface 122 moves between the bottom 1221, the top 1222, and the transition surface 1223, and when the abutting position is at the top 1222, the filter 12 drops to the bottom 1221, and gradually rises when moving from the top 1222 to the bottom 1221, and rises to the bottom 1221 when reaching the bottom 1221, that is, the filter 12 can be lifted and lowered with the tea leaves by the horizontal movement of the abutting portion 141 of the adjusting member 14, so that the tea leaves are immersed in water or lifted above the water level, meeting the needs of customers.

[0060] Specifically, when the movement of the abutment portion 141 is horizontal rotation: the soaking chamber 111 is cylindrical, the adjusting member 14 is provided with a ferrule 142 that can match the soaking chamber 111, and the ferrule 142 and the inner wall of the soaking chamber 11 are fitted and rotated. The abutment portion 141 is fixedly connected to the ferrule 142. That is, the adjusting member 14 realizes horizontal rotation relative to the soaking chamber 111 through the ferrule 142, driving the abutment portion 141 to rotate horizontally. Correspondingly, the outer side surface of the filter portion 12 matches the soaking chamber 111, and the projection of the contact surface 122 on the horizontal plane is circular. Based on this, when the adjusting member 14 is rotated, the abutment portion 141 can be horizontally rotated together, and the abutment portion 141 moves along the contact surface 122. Under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 13, the abutment is maintained, and the movement of the abutment position on the bottom 1221, the top 1222, and the transition surface 1223 causes the filter portion 12 to change up and down.

[0061] In order to prevent the ring 142 from continuously moving upward due to the elastic force of the elastic member 13, a circle of limiting ring grooves 115 is provided on the inner wall of the soaking chamber 111, and a limiting protrusion 1421 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the ring 142, which is inserted into the limiting ring groove 113 and can move along the limiting ring groove 115. Through the cooperation of the limiting ring groove 115 and the limiting protrusion 1421, the upper and lower positional relationship between the ring 142 and the soaking container 11 can be limited, and the ring 142 can be ensured to rotate relative to the soaking container 11.

[0062] In addition, the bottom 1221 and the top 1222 are both multiple and equal in number, and each of the bottom 1221 and the top 1222 is arranged in sequence with the axis of the filter 12 as the axis; the number of the abutment parts 141 is equal to the number of the tops 1222 or the bottom 1221 and is evenly arranged around the axis of the filter 12 as the axis. In this arrangement, when the abutment part 141 rotates a circle, the abutment position passes through the bottom 1221 and the top 1222 multiple times, completing the multiple lifting and lowering of the filter 12 between the top 1222 and the bottom 1221, which is more convenient when the filter 12 needs to be immersed up and down. The number of the bottom 1221 and the top 1222 can be 2, 3, 4 or even more. Preferably, the number of the bottom 1221 and the top 1222 is set to 3.

[0063] In order to facilitate the user to adjust the position of the abutment portion 141, the upper end of the ring 142 is provided with a stopper 143 outside the soaking chamber 111 to limit the ring. In addition, the user can rotate the adjusting member 14 through the stopper 143, thereby rotating the abutment portion 141 to perform the up and down soaking lifting mechanism 1. Preferably, a plurality of stoppers 143 are provided and arranged at intervals, and a groove 144 is provided between two adjacent stoppers 143 to further facilitate gripping and enhance the gripping feel. Preferably, the soaking lifting mechanism also includes a driving part, which abuts the groove 144 and drives the adjusting member 14 to move so that the filter part is lifted and lowered. The driving part can be a motor or other driving device, the output end of the motor abuts the groove 144, and the adjusting member 14 is rotated by rotation, so that the filter part 12 is lifted and lowered.

[0064] The transition surface 1223 is a smooth curved surface. The tangent of the top 1222 is set horizontally, so that when the abutment portion 141 abuts against the top 1222, the force of the abutment portion 141 on the filter portion 12 is vertically downward. At this time, after the user lets go, the force can offset the elastic force of the elastic member 13, and the filter portion 12 will not rise again. The transition surface 1223 is set as a smooth curved surface, which makes it easier for the abutment portion 141 to move smoothly and the user's hand feel is better.

[0065] In addition, in order to prevent the filter part 12 from rotating during the lifting and lowering process, a guide structure is provided between the filter part 12 and the soaking chamber 111. The soaking and lifting mechanism 1 also includes a longitudinal slide groove 123 and a guide block 114. Among them, the longitudinal slide groove 123 is arranged on one of the inner wall of the soaking chamber 111 or the outer wall of the filter part 12; the guide block 114 is arranged on the other of the inner wall and the outer wall, and the guide block 114 is embedded in the longitudinal slide groove 123 and can slide up and down along the longitudinal slide groove 123. As shown in the figure, the slide groove 123 is arranged on the soaking and lifting mechanism 1, and the guide block 114 is arranged on the inner wall of the soaking chamber 111. The guide block 114 can limit the rotation of the filter part 12 relative to the soaking chamber 111 during lifting and lowering, affecting the normal lifting and lowering of the filter part 12.
