[0001] The present application relates to the field of tea making, in particular to a tea making device and a control method for enabling the device by a hand holding state. BACKGROUND

[0002] Tea making, a method of boiling tea in Tang and Song Dynasties. In ancient times, tea making and soup making became a courtesy of officials in the court. The tea making method was used in tea fighting in Song Dynasty, and tea people also used this method for their own drinking. At that time, tea cakes were not directly boiled in the pot, but were crushed and placed in a bowl for use. When the water in the pot was slightly boiling, the tea in the bowl was poured. In order to make the tea and water blend into one, a tool made of fine bamboo was invented, called "tea whisk".

[0003] With the improvement of people's life, some existing automatic tea making devices have replaced the traditional tea whisk, or the tea whisk is combined with the corresponding device to realize stirring and swinging. However, the stirring process of the existing automatic tea making device is replaced by the automatic tea making device, but the stirring frequency or swinging angle is manually controlled during stirring, which is troublesome, and the stirring frequency and the stirring angle have a great influence on the taste of the tea. Therefore, a tea making device and a control method for enabling the device by a hand holding state are provided to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0028] For the purposes of the present application, the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application will be more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] As Figure 1 the embodiment shown in Fig. 3,

[0031] A control method for enabling self-starting through a hand-held state, comprising:

[0032] detecting the posture change of the tea-making device through the posture sensor located in the device;

[0033] starting the tea-making device and detecting the power of the tea-making device when the posture changes;

[0034] starting the tea-making function when the power reaches a predetermined value, and prompting charging if the power does not reach the predetermined value;

[0035] adjusting the tea-making swing frequency and / or angle through the hand-held posture change after the tea-making function is started;

[0036] turning off the device when the posture sensor detects that the posture of the device no longer changes after the tea-making is completed.

[0037] The posture information collected by the posture sensor is transmitted to the corresponding controller (control chip), and the collected posture information is determined by the controller to determine whether to start the tea-making device. After the tea-making device is started (at this time, the tea-making function is not working), the power of the device is detected to determine whether the power is sufficient. If the power is insufficient, a prompt can be given. Specifically, the prompt can be voice broadcast or a corresponding ring tone for insufficient power. The prompt includes the above-mentioned manner but is not limited to it. If the power is sufficient, the tea-making device enters a tea-making waiting state (or standby state).

[0038] When the posture sensor detects the corresponding tea-whisking posture information, the tea-whisking equipment then causes the tea whisk to oscillate. Depending on the type of tea-whisking equipment and the type of tea whisk, the tea whisk can either rotate or oscillate. Specifically, when the tea whisk is flat, it can oscillate; when the tea whisk is round, it can rotate. Alternatively, the tea whisk can rotate while oscillating, or oscillate while rotating. In actual use, the corresponding hardware can be designed according to functional requirements.

[0039] Appendix Figure 3 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a flat tea whisk.

[0040] After the tea is finished, if the attitude sensor detects that the device's attitude is no longer changing, it will be shut down via the controller (control chip).

[0041] The hand grip posture is vertically downward, and the frequency and / or angle of the whisk oscillation gradually increase as the duration of this posture increases.

[0042] When the attitude sensor detects that the tea whisk is held vertically downwards, the controller determines that tea preparation is about to begin and causes the whisk to swing / rotate. Conversely, if the tea preparation device is not in a vertical position, it is determined that tea preparation is not needed, and the whisk will not swing / rotate.

[0043] When the vertical downward state lasts for more than ten seconds, the tea whisk's oscillation frequency and angle reach their maximum values. The maximum oscillation frequency is 6 times per second, and the maximum angle is 60mm for the end displacement.

[0044] In practical use, the swing frequency and angle of the tea whisk in the vertical downward state can be set as needed. Furthermore, the displacement at the end of the whisk at the maximum swing frequency and angle can also be set, or it can be set according to the size of the container used. Similarly, depending on the type of tea whisk, such as when the tea whisk is round, the rotation speed of the tea whisk when it reaches the maximum value can be set.

[0045] The attitude sensor detects the gravitational acceleration and / or angle change of the tea-making device, wherein the gravitational acceleration is 0.1g and the angle change is 5 degrees.

[0046] When a person picks up the tea-making device, if the posture sensor detects that the change in gravity velocity and / or angle exceeds a predetermined value, the tea-making device can be started and ready for use. In order to reduce or increase the sensitivity of the start-up detection, the corresponding parameters of gravity deceleration and angle change can be set by the user. The above are the preferred parameters.

[0047] The vertical error angle range for the vertically downward state is 3 to 7 degrees.

[0048] In practical use, a person needs to maintain a vertical position (i.e., a 90-degree vertical position). However, because this position needs to be maintained for a long time, the tea-making device may tilt at a certain angle when held. To prevent the device from stopping working whenever it is not in a vertical position, a certain angle can be set in the vertical position. Within this angle range, the device can still be used. In this embodiment, the preferred vertical error angle is 5 degrees, meaning the tea-making device can still be used normally between 85 and 95 degrees, or between 83 and 97 degrees, or between 87 and 93 degrees. This error angle can also be designed according to the actual situation.

[0049] The device will shut down after its posture remains unchanged for 10 seconds. The device will be powered off once the posture sensor detects that the posture has remained unchanged for more than ten seconds; the specific timing can be designed as needed.

[0050] The predetermined battery level is 10%. The battery can only be used after its level exceeds this predetermined value. If the level falls below this predetermined value, a charging reminder will be given via an alarm bell or voice announcement.

[0051] The present invention also discloses a tea-making device, including the self-starting control method described above that achieves self-starting through hand grip, and further including a battery 1, a posture sensor, a motor 2, a swing mechanism 3 and a tea whisk 4, wherein the tea whisk is connected to the swing mechanism, and the motor drives the swing mechanism to swing.

[0052] The frequency of the tea whisk's oscillation is controlled by controlling the motor's speed, or the oscillation angle is controlled by controlling the motor's rotation angle. The specific oscillation mechanism can be designed according to requirements.

[0053] For details, please refer to Figure 4 The motor (not shown in the figure) has a crankshaft (not shown in the figure) installed at its power output end. The oscillating component (not shown in the figure) is rotatably mounted on the mounting base. The crankshaft passes through the mounting base and enters the straight slot (not shown in the figure) in the oscillating component. The oscillating component can be oscillated by the motor driving the crankshaft to rotate in the straight slot.

[0054] The working process of this invention is as follows: When the tea-making device is needed, the posture of the device changes. At this time, the posture sensor detects that the weight acceleration and / or angle has changed, and then the tea-making device is turned on. After the tea-making device is turned on, the battery power is detected. When the battery power is greater than the preset value, the next tea-making operation can be performed. When the battery power is less than the preset value, it prompts that it needs to be charged.

[0055] When the battery is fully charged, the device is held vertically downwards by the user. The attitude sensor detects the change in angle and the controller starts the motor, which drives the whisk to swing (stir) and gradually increases the swing frequency. The whisk swing frequency reaches its maximum value when the device is held vertically downwards for more than ten seconds, thereby improving the efficiency of tea preparation. When tea preparation is completed and the device is released from the vertical downwards position, it will shut down if the device's attitude does not change for more than ten seconds.

[0056] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
