[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tea brewing pot to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] The tea brewing pot in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a tea strainer 1 and a tea pot 2. The bottom of the tea pot 2 is equipped with a heating device, and the interior of the tea pot 2 is a cylindrical heating chamber. The tea strainer 1 is a cylindrical mesh structure with an open top, and it is placed within the heating chamber of the tea pot 2. The interior of the tea strainer 1 is used to hold the tea leaves to be brewed. The gap between the outer wall of the tea strainer 1 and the wall of the heating chamber is less than 1 cm. Several mesh openings 11 are distributed on the side wall of the tea strainer 1, and circumferentially distributed converging points are located at the top of the mesh openings 11. Hole 15, the bottom of the tea mesh 1 has a number of mesh holes 12, 13 and 14 distributed radially from the inside to the outside. Among them, mesh holes 12 are distributed in a circle with the bottom center of the tea mesh 1 as the center, mesh holes 13 are distributed in a ring around the outer periphery of mesh holes 12, and mesh holes 14 are distributed in a ring around the outer periphery of mesh holes 13. The diameter of mesh holes 12 is not greater than the diameter of mesh holes 14, and the diameter of mesh holes 13 is not greater than half the diameter of mesh holes 14.

[0027] In this specific embodiment, the heating device is a heating plate 3 located at the bottom of the teapot 2. A drainage component 4 is provided at the bottom of the heating plate 3. A tea leakage port communicating with the drainage component 4 is provided at the bottom of the heating chamber of the teapot 2. Both the heating plate 3 and the drainage component 4 are located inside the bottom shell 5 located at the bottom of the teapot 2.

[0028] In this specific embodiment, a handle 6 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the tea pot 2, and a handle 7 is provided on the top side of the tea strainer 1. The handles are designed to make it easy to pick up and avoid scalding your hands with hot water.

[0029] In this specific embodiment, the top of the tea strainer 1 is provided with an annular groove 8, which is engaged with the annular opening at the top of the tea pot 2. A sealing ring 9 is provided between the groove 8 and the annular opening, which can prevent water from overflowing from the position where the tea strainer 1 contacts the tea pot 2.

[0030] In this specific embodiment, a limiting groove 16 is also provided on the slot 8 at the top of the tea mesh 1, and a limiting lock 10 is provided on the top ring of the corresponding tea pot 2. When the limiting lock 10 is engaged in the limiting groove 16, the position of the tea mesh 1 on the tea pot 2 is locked.

[0031] In this embodiment, the aperture of mesh 11 is 1mm, the aperture of confluence hole 15 is 10mm, the aperture of mesh 14 is 0.4-0.6mm, the aperture of mesh 3 is 0.7-0.9mm, the aperture of mesh 2 is 1.2-1.3mm, and the heating range of heating plate 3 is at the bottom of tea pot 2. After the water at the bottom boils, the bubbles rise from the bottom. The diameter of the middle mesh 14 area is half of the bottom of tea mesh 1, ensuring that some of the bubbles go out from the middle and the other part is squeezed to the sides.

[0032] Because the annular distribution areas of mesh 3 (13) and mesh 2 (12) are the same and the number of radially distributed circular holes is the same, and because the aperture sizes of mesh 3 (13) and mesh 2 (12) are different, boiling water rises from the bottom. The pressure difference between the bubbles that do not pass through mesh 3 (13) and mesh 2 (12) creates radially outward flow potential energy. A small portion of the bubbles in mesh 4 (14) will also flow from the bottom of mesh 3 (13) to the bottom of mesh 2 (12). Since the outer side of mesh 2 (12) is the gap between the tea mesh 1 and the inner wall of the tea canister, the bubbles will rise rapidly through the gap. Although the side of the tea mesh 1 is filled with mesh 1 (11), and the aperture of mesh 1 (11) is larger than that of mesh 4 (14), Some of the boiling water carried by the rising bubbles flows into the tea mesh 1 through mesh 11, but most of it rises to the top and passes through the large confluence hole 15. The boiling water flows radially around the tea mesh 1 through the confluence hole 15, and the water in the middle boils out. Since the boiling of the water in the middle is diverted, there is no need to worry about the water in the middle boiling and overflowing out of the container. Moreover, the boiling water in the center plus the boiling water flowing around the perimeter forms a ring-shaped turbulence inside the tea mesh 1, which washes the tea leaves or tea powder, preventing them from piling up or sticking together. The turbulence also causes the tea leaves and tea powder to tumble, which makes the tea leaves or tea powder heat up fully and more evenly.

[0033] It should be noted that the heating plate and drainage assembly involved in this invention are conventional components of a teapot, and their structural principles will not be elaborated upon.

[0034] This invention has illustrated its principles and implementation methods using specific examples. The descriptions of these embodiments are merely illustrative of the method and its core ideas; furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that modifications may be made to the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the principles of this invention. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as limiting the invention.
