Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the structural decomposition of the split water outlet tank in an upward view according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] The split water outlet box includes a box body 100, which is mainly composed of a first part and a second part. The first part is a main box body 1, and the second part is a secondary box body 2. The box body 100 also includes a sealing cover 3, a steam guide unit and a steam discharge unit, wherein:

[0047] The overall shape of the main box body 1 can be cylindrical, cubic, truncated cone or other shapes. Figure 2 or Figure 3 In the embodiment, the main housing 1 is cylindrical in shape. A storage chamber is provided inside the main housing 1 for storing a heat medium required for brewing tea, such as hot water.

[0048] The slave box 2 is located on one side of the main box 1, and the main box 1 and the slave box 2 can be connected together, that is, the main box 1 and the slave box 2 are integrated together. Figure 2 As shown, the main box 1 and the slave box 2 are connected together in an integrated manner. A connecting portion 4 is connected between the main box 1 and the slave box 2. The main box 1 and the slave box 2 are independent of each other through the connecting portion 4.

[0049] The interior of the slave box 2 is provided with a storage cavity, and the bottom is provided with a drain nozzle 201. When the direct drinking heat medium is transported to the interior of the slave box 2, the direct drinking heat medium can be discharged through the drain nozzle 201 to meet the use of the direct drinking heat medium by consumers.

The separated steam can be directed into the main housing 1 through the steam drainage unit.

[0051] The cover body 3 covers the openings of the main box body 1 and the sub-box body 2. Regarding the specific structure of the cover body 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown, the cover body 3 includes a first sealing portion 301 and a second sealing portion 302, wherein the first sealing portion 301 is sealed to the opening of the main box 1, and the second sealing portion 302 is sealed to the opening of the slave box 2. That is, the cover body 3 can be sealed and installed to the openings of the main box 1 and the slave box 2 to prevent the steam or heat medium in the main box 1 and the slave box 2 from leaking.

[0052] The first sealing part 301 is provided with a main tank water inlet 303. The second sealing part 302 is provided with a sub-tank water inlet 304.
