The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0144] The present disclosure provides a beverage machine, wherein the water system of the beverage machine is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a clean water tank 110, a water supply waterway, a normal temperature water supply waterway 150 and an inlet valve 170, wherein the water supply waterway includes a heating element 131, a water outlet valve 132, a first water supply waterway and a second water supply waterway, the water outlet valve 132 connects the heating element 131, the first water supply waterway and the second water supply waterway, the end of the first water supply waterway is provided with a first liquid outlet 135, and the end of the second water supply waterway is provided with a second liquid outlet 136; the normal temperature water supply waterway 150 is connected to the first liquid outlet 135, and the inlet valve 170 connects the clean water tank 110, the heating element 131 and the normal temperature water supply waterway 150. Among them, the normal temperature water supply waterway 150 can be directly connected to the first liquid outlet 135, or connected to the first liquid outlet 135 by connecting to the first water supply waterway. The inlet valve 170 and the outlet valve 132 are both three-way valves. The clean water stored in the clean water tank 110 can enter the normal temperature water supply waterway 150 or the water supply waterway through the water inlet valve 170. Furthermore, the clean water entering the water supply waterway can flow out from the first water supply waterway 3 or the second water supply waterway after being heated by the heating element 131. This structure enables the beverage machine to have three flowable waterways, and the three waterways can be controlled jointly by the water inlet valve 170 and the water outlet valve 132 to discharge water as needed.
[0145] The first water supply path is the first hot water path 133, and the second water supply path is the second hot water path 134. The beverage machine has a first water dispensing mode, a second water dispensing mode and a third water dispensing mode. Figure 2When the beverage machine is in the first water dispensing mode, the water inlet valve 170 connects the clean water tank 110 with the normal temperature water supply water path 150 and blocks the connection between the heating element 131 and the clean water tank 110, the water outlet valve 132 connects the second hot water path 134 with the heating element 131 and blocks the connection between the first hot water path 133 and the heating element 131, and the first liquid outlet 135 discharges normal temperature water. Figure 3 When the beverage machine is in the second water dispensing mode, the water inlet valve 170 connects the heating element 131 with the clean water tank 110 and blocks the normal temperature water supply water path 150 from being connected with the clean water tank 110, the water outlet valve 132 connects the first hot water path 133 with the heating element 131 and blocks the second hot water path 134 from being connected with the heating element 131, and the first liquid outlet 135 discharges hot water. Figure 4 When the beverage machine is in the third water intake mode, the water inlet valve 170 connects the heating element 131 with the clean water tank 110 and blocks the normal temperature water supply water path 150 from being connected with the clean water tank 110, the water outlet valve 132 connects the second hot water path 134 with the heating element 131 and blocks the first hot water path 133 from being connected with the heating element 131, and the second liquid outlet 136 discharges hot water.
[0146] The beverage machine also has a standby mode. In the standby mode, the water inlet valve 170 connects the heating element 131 with the clean water tank 110 and blocks the normal temperature water supply water path 150 from connecting with the clean water tank 110. The water outlet valve 132 connects the second hot water path 134 with the heating element 131 and blocks the first hot water path 133 from connecting with the heating element 131. Since the clean water tank 110, the heating element 131 and the second hot water path 134 are connected in the standby mode, when the water pump 190 and the heating element 131 are working, the second liquid outlet 136 can discharge hot water, and the standby mode is switched to the third water intake mode.
[0147] In order to prevent dripping from the second liquid outlet 136 in standby mode, the highest position in the second hot water circuit 134 is set higher than the highest liquid level of the clean water tank 110 in this embodiment, so that the liquid in the second hot water circuit 134 will not flow out from the second liquid outlet 136 after turning over the highest position in the pipeline without power drive. Compared with the solution of setting a water stop valve at the second liquid outlet 136, the position relationship of the liquid in the water circuit is used to prevent the second liquid outlet 136 from dripping, which has good leak-proof performance and does not increase the cost. In a possible implementation, the second liquid outlet 136 can be set higher than the highest liquid level of the clean water tank 110, so that the liquid in the pipeline is always kept below the second liquid outlet 136 without power drive, so that it will not flow out from the second liquid outlet 136.
[0148] In the above-mentioned water circuit structure, since in the standby mode, the water inlet valve 170 does not supply water to the normal temperature water supply circuit 150, and the water outlet valve 132 does not supply water to the first hot water circuit 133, the first liquid outlet 135 connected to the normal temperature water supply circuit 150 and the first hot water circuit 133 will not drip, and the position of the first liquid outlet 135 can be higher or lower than the highest liquid level of the clean water tank 110.
[0149] In the conventional scheme of taking hot water and normal temperature water through the same water outlet, normal temperature water and hot water share a water path, and no matter whether normal temperature water or hot water is taken, it must flow out after passing through the heating element 131. If hot water is taken first and then normal temperature water, the temperature of the normal temperature water is very high and not suitable for immediate drinking, and the user experience is very bad. In the water path system of this embodiment, the inlet of the water inlet valve 170 is connected to the clean water tank 110, and the outlet of the water inlet valve 170 can be switched between the water supply path and the normal temperature water supply path 150. The normal temperature water supply path 150 and the water supply path are both connected to the first liquid outlet 135. By using the water inlet valve 170 for diversion, the normal temperature water flows out directly from the first liquid outlet 135 without passing through the heating element 131, so that even if the water supply path and the normal temperature water supply path 150 share the same liquid outlet, there will be no temperature crossover when taking water, thereby improving the user experience.
[0150] Please continue to see Figure 1-Figure 4 The beverage machine further includes a water pump 190, which is disposed between the clean water tank 110 and the water inlet valve 170, and is used to pump the clean water in the clean water tank 110 to the water inlet valve 170, and provide driving force for the water system, driving the liquid to flow out from the first liquid outlet 135 or the second liquid outlet 136. Exemplarily, in the standby mode, the water pump 190 is not started, the highest position in the second hot water waterway 134 is higher than the highest liquid level in the clean water tank 110, and no water flows out of the second liquid outlet 136. In the third water intake mode, the water pump 190 is started, driving the clean water to flow to the second hot water waterway 134 through the water inlet valve 170, the heating element 131 and the water outlet valve 132, so that the second liquid outlet 136 of the second hot water waterway 134 flows out hot water. In the first water intake mode, the water pump 190 is started, driving the purified water to flow through the water inlet valve 170 to the normal temperature water supply water path 150, and the first liquid outlet 135 discharges normal temperature water. At this time, since the water outlet valve 132 is not connected to the first hot water water path 133, it plays a reverse water sealing role, and the normal temperature water will not flow back from the first hot water water path 133. In the second water intake mode, the water pump 190 is started, driving the purified water to flow through the water inlet valve 170, the heating element 131 and the water outlet valve 132 to the first hot water water path 133, and the first liquid outlet 135 discharges hot water. At this time, since the water inlet valve 170 is not connected to the normal temperature water supply water path 150, it plays a reverse water sealing role, and the hot water will not flow back from the normal temperature water supply water path 150.
[0151] The first hot water channel 133 is also provided with a water vapor separator, which can discharge the steam in the first hot water channel 133. When taking hot water through the first hot water channel 133, if the residual steam in the water channel is not discharged in time, it will condense on the pipe wall, and then form water droplets to flow out from the first liquid outlet 135 after taking hot water. By providing a water vapor separator to discharge the steam in the pipe in time, it can prevent the first liquid outlet 135 from dripping due to the condensation of steam.
[0152] In a possible implementation, the water vapor separation element includes a water return pipe 137, the inlet of the water return pipe 137 is connected to the first hot water path 133, and the outlet of the water return pipe 137 is connected to the clean water tank 110 and is higher than the highest liquid level of the clean water tank 110. The steam in the first hot water path 133 can rise along the water return pipe 137 and eventually enter the clean water tank 110, preventing the steam from condensing near the first liquid outlet 135.
[0153] A first water level sensor 111 is also provided in the clean water tank 110, and the first water level sensor 111 is close to the highest liquid level of the clean water tank 110. The first water level sensor 111 is used to monitor the liquid level of the clean water in the clean water tank 110, and then to remind the water production when the clean water in the clean water tank 110 does not reach the water level corresponding to the first water level sensor 111.
[0154] See also Figure 1 The beverage machine further includes a raw water tank 210, a purification component and a booster pump 250. The purification component connects the raw water tank 210 with the clean water tank 110. The booster pump 250 connects the raw water tank 210 with the purification component. The booster pump 250 pumps the raw water in the raw water tank 210 to the purification component. The purification component purifies the raw water into clean water and then delivers it to the clean water tank 110. The purification component may include a pre-filter element 231, a reverse osmosis membrane filter element 232 and a post-filter element 233. The reverse osmosis membrane filter element 232 is connected to the raw water tank 210 through a wastewater solenoid valve 234. The pre-filter element 231 may be a polypropylene activated carbon composite filter element, and the post-filter element 233 may be an activated carbon filter element.
[0155] Figure 5The structure of a beverage machine is shown. The beverage machine includes a machine body, a water outlet seat 400 and a tea-making cup 500. The machine body includes a shell 310, a clean water tank 110, a water supply waterway, a normal temperature water supply waterway 150, a water inlet valve 170, a purification component and a booster pump 250. The shell 310 has an inner cavity and a front panel 312. The clean water tank 110, the water supply waterway, the normal temperature water supply waterway 150, the water inlet valve 170, the purification component and the booster pump 250 are arranged in the inner cavity. The first liquid outlet 135 and the second liquid outlet 136 pass through the front panel 312 and are exposed to the outside of the shell 310. The raw water tank 210 is arranged on the side of the shell 310 away from the front panel 312. The water outlet seat 400 is arranged on the front panel 312 and is located below the second liquid outlet 136. The tea-making cup 500 is detachably arranged between the second liquid outlet 136 and the water outlet seat 400.
[0156] The raw water tank 210 is a transparent shell, so that the user can observe the water level in the raw water tank 210 and add water in time; in addition, a second water level sensor 211 can be set at the lower part of the raw water tank 210 to monitor the water level of the liquid in the raw water tank 210 to remind the user to add water when the water level is too low.
[0157] The first liquid outlet 135 and the second liquid outlet 136 are staggered with each other in the longitudinal direction of the front panel 312 to fully utilize the lateral space of the panel and reduce the overall height of the beverage machine.
[0158] The beverage machine further includes a control panel 350, which is disposed on the front panel 312, and the first liquid outlet 135 is located below the control panel 350. The control panel 350 is electrically connected to the water pump 190, the water inlet valve 170, the water outlet valve 132, the booster pump 250, the first water level sensor 111, and the second water level sensor 211. By operating the options or buttons on the control panel 350, the various modes of the water dispenser can be switched. The first liquid outlet 135 is disposed below the control panel 350, so that the appearance of the beverage machine is more integrated and beautiful.
[0159] A cup cover 600 is also provided on the front panel 312. The second liquid outlet 136 constitutes a water outlet of the cup cover 600. The cup cover 600 is rotatably connected to the housing 310 so that the cup cover 600 has a first state of covering the tea brewing cup 500 and a second state of deviating from the tea brewing cup 500; when the cup cover 600 is in the first state, liquid from the second liquid outlet 136 is allowed to flow into the tea brewing cup 500, and when the cup cover 600 is in the second state, no water flows out of the second liquid outlet 136. In one possible implementation, a sensor is provided on the tea-brewing cup 500 at a position for contacting the cup cover 600, and the sensor is electrically connected to the controller. When the cup cover 600 is in a first state, the sensor senses the tea-brewing cup 500, and the controller controls the water inlet valve 170 and the water outlet valve 132 according to the sensing signal of the sensor, so that water flows out of the second liquid outlet 136. When the cup cover 600 is in a second state, the sensor cannot detect the cup cover 600, and the controller controls the water inlet valve 170 and the water outlet valve 132, so that no water flows out of the second liquid outlet 136.
[0160] A water collecting box 700 is also provided at the lower end of the front panel 312. The water collecting box 700 is located below the water outlet seat 400 and the first liquid outlet 135.

The heat preservation assembly includes a heat preservation table 731 for supporting a water cup and a heating element 732 for heating the heat preservation table 731. The heating element 732 is disposed in the first space 713, and the heat preservation table 731 is disposed on the partition 712. The cover plate 750 covers the top opening 711 of the base 710 housing, and has an opening 751 corresponding to the heat preservation platform 731 and a water filter hole 752 that penetrates the second space 714. The heat preservation platform 731 is exposed to the opening 751, and a drainage channel 753 is provided between the edge of the opening 751 and the heat preservation platform 731 to drain the liquid on the cover plate 750 to the water collection box 700. The heating element 732 heats the heat preservation platform 731 after being energized, and can keep the water cup placed on the heat preservation platform 731 warm.
[0161] Figure 8 shows the functional principle of the beverage dispenser, see Figure 8, the raw water in the raw water tank 210 enters the purification component under the drive of the booster pump 250, and is filtered into clean water through triple filtration by the purification component. The clean water is stored in the clean water tank 110. In the first water intake mode, the water inlet valve 170 is connected to the normal temperature water supply water path 150, and the water pump 190 drives the clean water in the clean water tank 110 to flow out from the first liquid outlet 135 through the water inlet valve 170, the normal temperature water supply water path 150 and the water vapor separation element; in the second water intake mode, the water inlet valve 170 is connected to the heating element 131, and the water outlet valve 132 is connected to the first hot water water path 133. The water pump 190 drives the clean water in the clean water tank 110 to flow out from the first liquid outlet 135 through the water inlet valve 170, the heating element 131, The water outlet valve 132, the first hot water channel 133 and the water vapor separation element flow out from the first liquid outlet 135; in the third water intake mode, the water inlet valve 170 is connected to the heating element 131, the water outlet valve 132 is connected to the second hot water channel 134, the cup cover 600 is closed on the tea-making cup 500, and the water pump 190 drives the clean water in the clean water tank 110 to flow through the water inlet valve 170, the heating element 131, the water outlet valve 132 and the second hot water channel 134 from the second liquid outlet 136 into the tea-making cup 500 to brew tea leaves. After the tea leaves are brewed, the power mechanism at the lower end of the tea-making cup 500 works to make the brewed tea in the tea-making cup 500 flow into the water cup below. The tea-making cup 500 includes a cup body, a heating body 521, a first power supply component 527 and a water discharge component.

[0164] In the prior art, the teacup is inserted horizontally into the docking seat on the machine body, and the teacup and the docking seat are electrically connected through a conductive pin. This design realizes the installation and removal between the teacup and the docking seat by pushing in / pulling out the teacup, which increases the risk of liquid spilling when the teacup is removed. In addition, the weight of the entire teacup needs to be borne by the docking seat, which will cause the docking seat to be subjected to greater force, which may easily cause the conductive pin to deform and poor electrical contact in the long term. In this embodiment, the water outlet seat is arranged on the machine body, and the teacup is arranged between the water outlet seat and the liquid outlet of the machine body. The water outlet seat holds the teacup, and the teacup and the water outlet seat are electrically connected through a longitudinally arranged coupler. This structural method can ensure the stability and service life of the electrical connection between the teacup and the water outlet seat, and avoid the occurrence of poor electrical contact.

The first power supply component 527 includes a first power supply component bracket 528, a conductive sheet 538 arranged at the lower part of the first power supply component bracket 528, and a conductive spring 539 arranged at the upper part of the first power supply component bracket 528 and connected to the conductive sheet 538, and the conductive spring 539 abuts against the conductive circuit layer 524. A connecting plate 543 is also arranged between the first power supply component bracket 528 and the bottom plate 513, and the connecting plate 543 is respectively connected to the bottom plate 513 and the first power supply component bracket 528. The substrate 522 is provided with a substrate through-hole 525, the connecting plate 543 is provided with a connecting plate through-hole 544, and the first power supply component bracket 528 is provided with a first power supply component bracket through-hole 530. The substrate through-hole 525, the connecting plate through-hole 544 and the first power supply component bracket through-hole 530 are concentrically arranged to facilitate the installation of the launching component.
[0167] The multifunctional all-in-one machine needs to meet multiple functions, and the space of the whole machine is limited. If the first power supply component 527 and the water outlet 511 are set so that the projection of the first power supply component 527 on the bottom of the cup body and the projection of the water outlet 511 on the bottom of the cup body do not interfere with or overlap each other, the volume of the tea-making cup 500 will be limited, and the water outlet 511 also needs to be set eccentrically, and the water collection structure of the machine base needs to extend longer than the machine body, resulting in an increase in the space occupied by the whole machine in all directions. In this embodiment, the water outlet 511, the heating body 521 and the first power supply component 527 are set at the bottom of the tea-making cup 500 to realize the functions of quickly taking water from the bottom of the tea-making cup and continuously heating the tea-making cup. In addition, by setting the heating body 521 and the first power supply component 527 around the water outlet 511, the contact surface between the heating component and the bottom of the cup is increased, the heating efficiency is improved, and the space occupied by the whole machine in all directions is reduced.
[0168] In one possible implementation, the resistive heating layer 523 includes a plurality of heating resistors 526 arranged around the substrate via 525, the conductive circuit layer 524 includes a conductive wire 541 connecting the heating resistors 526 in series and a conductive contact 542 arranged on the conductive wire 541, and the conductive spring 539 abuts the conductive contact 542. Fig.15 The heater 521 shown includes two conductive contacts 542, one is N (NEUTRAL, neutral line) and the other is L (LIVE, live line). Fig.16The first power supply component 527 is provided with two conductive springs 539, and the conductive springs 539 of the first power supply component 527 are in contact with the L and N conductive contacts 542 on the heating body 521 to supply power to the heating body 521. In addition, a stud is provided on the heating body 521, and the first power supply component 527 is connected and fixed to the stud by screws to play a grounding role. In this embodiment, no wires and terminal blocks are used between the heating body 521 and the first power supply component 527, which can prevent the wires from contacting the heating body 521 and aging and damage due to heat, and has the advantages of good contact and durability. In addition, multiple heating resistors 526 are arranged around the substrate via 525 to form a circle of heating area at the bottom of the cup body, so that the bottom of the cup body is heated more evenly and the heating efficiency is higher.
[0169] The first power supply component also includes a dry-burning device, which includes a temperature sensor 546 and a fuse 547. The temperature sensor 546 and the fuse 547 are attached to the chassis 513. The fuse 547 is connected to the conductive sheet 538. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 546 is higher than a preset value, the power supply to the two conductive springs 539 is cut off, so that the heating body 521 cannot be heated. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 546 is lower than or equal to a preset value, the power supply to the two conductive springs 539 is restored. If the temperature of the chassis 513 is higher than the preset fuse value, the fuse 547 is damaged, and the power supply to the two conductive springs 539 is cut off, and the power supply cannot be restored, so as to avoid damage to the whole machine due to dry-burning and ensure safe and reliable use. Fig.15 In the structure of the heating body 521 shown, the temperature sensor 546 and the fuse 547 of the first power supply component 527 are avoided so that the temperature sensor 546 and the fuse 547 directly contact the stainless steel substrate 522 of the heating body, and the power supply of the coupler will be cut off when the temperature of the heating body is too high.
[0170] See also Fig.11The downcomer assembly includes a downcomer pipe 561 and a valve assembly. The inlet of the downcomer pipe 561 is connected to the water outlet hole 511, and the outlet passes through the through hole 530 of the first power supply assembly bracket.

The reset member 569 may be a spring.
[0171] A downpipe seal 570 is provided between the downpipe 561 and the water outlet 511 , and the downpipe seal 570 completely blocks the gap between the downpipe 561 and the water outlet 511 , so that the liquid in the cup body is discharged from the downpipe 561 , thereby preventing the liquid from seeping into the first power supply component 527 .
[0172] The tea-making cup 500 further includes a sealing structure, which is used to achieve the sealed docking of the water pipe 470 and the down pipe 561 when the valve assembly is in the conducting state, so as to prevent the electrical components in the water outlet seat 400 and the tea-making cup 500 from contacting water vapor. Specifically, a first power supply assembly seal 548 is provided between the first power supply assembly bracket 528 and the down pipe 561. When the valve assembly is in the conducting state, the water pipe 470 is in fluid communication with the down pipe 561, and the water inlet end 473 abuts against the first power supply assembly seal 548. The first power supply assembly seal 548 is used to cooperate with the water outlet seat 400 to prevent water vapor from overflowing when the down pipe 561 discharges water. When the valve assembly is in the conducting state, the valve core 567 is in the second position.
[0173] The drain assembly also includes a filter 574, which is arranged at the water outlet 511 or the entrance of the drain pipe 561. The liquid in the cup body is filtered by the filter 574 before being discharged from the drain pipe 561, preventing tea leaves and other brewing materials from blocking the drain pipe 561.

[0176] A second power supply assembly seal 435 is provided between the second power supply assembly bracket 431 and the water outlet seat upper cover 410. Fig.24 As shown, the second power supply assembly seal 435 completely blocks the gap between the second power supply assembly bracket 431 and the water outlet seat upper cover 410, preventing the liquid entering the upper part of the water outlet seat 400 from flowing from the gap to the lower part of the water outlet seat 400, thereby preventing the electrical components located at the lower part of the water outlet seat 400 from getting damp.
[0177] See also Fig.19 , Fig. 20 and Fig.21 The power mechanism includes a top member 491 and an electric drive assembly 495. The top member 491 has a first connection portion 492 rotatably connected to the water outlet seat lower cover 450, a second connection portion 493 deviating from the first connection portion 492, and a top portion 494 deviating from the first connection portion 492. The electric drive assembly 495 can drive the second connection portion 493 to move so that the top portion 494 switches between the top position and the fall position. Fig.21 As shown, when the top 494 is switched from the falling position to the lifting position, the top 494 pushes the water conduit 470 close to the valve core 567 and lifts the valve core 567 to the second position, as shown in FIG. Fig. 20 As shown, when the top 494 is converted from the raised position to the lowered position, the water guide pipe 470 is forced to fall back, and the valve core 567 is restored to the first position under the action of the reset member 569. The electric drive assembly 495 includes a rotating member 496 rotatably arranged on the lower cover 450 of the water outlet seat and a motor 497 for driving the rotating member 496 to rotate; the rotating member 496 rotates to drive the second connecting portion 493 of the top member 491 to move.
[0178] Please continue to see Fig.24The water pipe 470 is detachably disposed on the water outlet seat cover 410. The inner wall of the water pipe 470 is provided with a push portion 471 for pushing the valve core 567 to move, and the outer wall of the water pipe 470 is provided with a guide member 472. When the top 494 switches from the falling position to the lifting position, the top 494 abuts against the guide member 472 to drive the push portion 471 of the water pipe 470 to move toward the valve core 567. The inner wall of the water pipe 470 is provided with at least two push portions 471 spaced apart along the axial direction of the water pipe 470.
[0179] See also Fig.24 , Fig. 27 , Fig.28 One end of the water pipe 470 that connects with the down pipe 561 is the water inlet end 473, and the other end is the water outlet end 474. The push portion 471 extends toward the water inlet end 473 but does not exceed the water inlet end 473. A connection space 475 is formed between the push portion 471 and the inner wall of the water pipe 470. The lower end of the down pipe 561 is accommodated in the connection space 475. The push portion 471 faces the valve core 567, and the water inlet end 473 faces the first power supply assembly seal 548. Fig.29 As shown, when the push portion 471 lifts the valve core 567 to the second position, the water conduit 470 is fluidically connected to the downpipe 561 , and the water inlet end 473 abuts against the first power supply assembly seal 548 .
[0180] like Fig.28 As shown, when the water conduit 470 is not lifted by the lifting member 491, the push portion 471 of the water conduit 470 and the valve core 567 have a first distance or are in contact, and the water inlet end 473 of the water conduit 470 and the first power supply assembly seal 548 have a second distance. The first distance is less than the movement stroke of the valve core 567 from the first position to the second position, and the movement stroke of the valve core 567 from the first position to the second position is not less than the second distance, ensuring that the water inlet end 473 of the water conduit 470 is embedded in the first power supply assembly seal 548 to achieve sealing, thereby preventing the liquid in the water conduit 470 from overflowing from the contact position between the water conduit 470 and the first power supply assembly seal 548.
[0181] like Fig. 9 As shown, the tea-making cup 500 also includes a cup holder 590, on which the cup body is arranged, the upper end of the cup holder 590 abuts against the cup body, and the lower end is connected to the first power supply component bracket 528. The lower end surface of the cup holder 590 is provided with a supporting protrusion 591. When the tea-making cup 500 is placed on an operating surface such as a desktop, the supporting protrusion 591 of the tea-making cup 500 contacts the operating surface, plays a supporting and anti-slip role, and can also prevent the lower end surface of the tea-making cup 500 from rubbing against the operating surface and scratching the operating surface. In addition, due to the supporting protrusion 591, the lower end surface of the cup holder 590 does not directly contact the operating surface, even if there is a small amount of water on the operating surface, it will not enter the cup holder 590, thereby preventing the first power supply component 527 from entering with water.
[0182] exist Fig.10 In the structure shown, the cup holder 590 is further provided with a first drainage hole 536. When the user washes the tea-brewing cup 500 or places the tea-brewing cup 500 in a place with water, water may enter the cup holder 590 from the connection between the cup holder 590 and the cup body, and the water entering the cup holder 590 can be drained downward through the first drainage hole 536 after the tea-brewing cup 500 is placed flat.
[0183] In one possible implementation, Fig.10 As shown, the top 494 of the cup holder 590 is provided with a first opening 592, the bottom of the cup holder 590 has a bottom boss 593 protruding in a direction away from the first opening 592, and the bottom surface of the bottom boss 593 is provided with a second opening 594 opposite to the first opening 592; the lower end of the cup body passes through the first opening 592, the first power supply component bracket 528 is connected to the bottom boss 593, the conductive sheet 538 is exposed to the second opening 594, and the first drainage hole 536 is provided on the bottom boss 593.
[0184] See also Fig.18 and Fig.24 The water outlet seat upper cover 410 has a circle of baffles 411 protruding away from the water outlet seat lower cover 450, and an installation space 413 is formed between the baffles 411 and the second power supply component bracket 431. The bottom boss 593 of the teacup 500 is accommodated in the installation space 413. The water outlet seat upper cover 410 is provided with a second drainage hole 436 connected to the accommodation space 456. The second power supply component bracket 431 is provided with a third drainage hole 457 connected to the accommodation space 456. The end of the electric reed 434 that contacts the conductive sheet 538 is away from the third drainage hole 457 to prevent the electric reed 434 from getting wet.
[0185] like Fig.25 As shown, when the tea-making cup 500 is placed on the water outlet seat 400, the first drainage hole 536 of the tea-making cup 500 is connected with the second drainage hole 436 of the water outlet seat 400 in the installation space 413, and the liquid falling into the cup seat can flow into the accommodation space 456 through the first drainage hole 536 and the second drainage hole 436. In addition, the liquid in the cup seat can also flow into the accommodation space 456 through the gap between the water conduit 470 and the second power supply component bracket 431 and the third drainage hole 457 on the second power supply component bracket 431. In short, no matter when the tea-making cup 500 is installed on the water outlet seat 400, or when the tea-making cup 500 is removed from the water outlet seat 400, or when liquid falls on the water outlet seat in other cases, the liquid can flow into the accommodation space 456, ensuring that the electrical components will not be affected by moisture and water.
[0186] See also Fig.23 and Fig.24A sleeve 454 is provided around the lower cover through hole 452 on the water outlet seat lower cover 450, and the sleeve 454 extends toward the water outlet seat upper cover 410. The water outlet end 474 of the water guide pipe 470 penetrates the sleeve 454, and the sleeve 454 limits the water guide pipe 470 to prevent the water outlet end 474 from shaking. A guide block 455 is also provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 454, and the guide block 455 contacts the outer wall of the water guide pipe 470, so that a water gap 498 is formed between the outer wall of the water guide pipe 470 and the inner wall of the sleeve 454. When the liquid level in the accommodating space 456 exceeds the pipe opening of the sleeve 454, the liquid can enter from the pipe opening of the sleeve 454 and flow out along the water gap 498. A water hole 451 is also provided on the sleeve 454 and / or the lower cover 450 of the water outlet seat near the lower cover through hole 452, and the liquid in the accommodating space 456 can flow out from the lower cover through hole 452 through the water hole 451. Fig.24 As shown, the water hole 451 is arranged at a position of the sleeve 454 near the bottom of the accommodating space 456, and the water hole 451 is connected to the water passing gap 498. In this way, when the liquid level in the accommodating space 456 does not exceed the pipe mouth of the sleeve 454, the liquid can enter from the water hole 451 and flow out along the water passing gap 498.
[0187] The lower cover 450 of the water outlet seat is also provided with a water retaining rib 453 , which is located between the sleeve 454 and the motor 497 and is used to block the liquid in the accommodating space 456 from flowing toward the motor 497 , thereby preventing the motor 497 from entering with water.
[0188] The tea-making cup 500 is separable from the water outlet seat 400. The tea-making cup 500 and the water outlet seat 400 can be connected by a limiting structure, which ensures stable power supply on the one hand, and on the other hand, ensures the sealing effect of the first power supply component seal 548 when water is discharged, so as to prevent the water outlet seat 400 and the electrical components in the tea-making cup 500 from contacting water vapor. The limiting structure includes a limiting groove 595 and a limiting rib 414 that is engaged with the limiting groove 595. One of the cup seat 590 of the tea-making cup 500 and the water outlet seat upper cover 410 of the water outlet seat 400 is provided with a limiting groove 595, and the other is provided with a limiting rib 414 that is engaged with the limiting groove 595. After the limiting rib 414 enters the limiting groove 595, the conductive sheet 538 of the tea-making cup 500 contacts the electric spring sheet 434 of the water outlet seat 400, and the tea-making cup 500 cannot rotate relative to the water outlet seat 400, thereby ensuring stable power supply. Among them, the limiting rib 414 and the limiting groove 595 can be arranged vertically. Since the limiting groove limits the limiting rib to the left and right, the tea-making cup 500 cannot rotate after being placed on the water outlet seat 400; the limiting rib 414 and the limiting groove 595 can also be arranged horizontally. The tea-making cup 500 is placed on the water outlet seat 400 and rotated to make the limiting rib 414 enter the limiting groove 595 to achieve positioning. Fig.26The diagram shows a connection structure between a tea-brewing cup 500 and a water outlet seat 400. The bottom boss 593 of the cup seat 590 has a horizontally arranged limit groove 595, and the baffle 411 of the water outlet seat upper cover 410 is provided with a limit rib 414 corresponding to the limit groove 595. The tea-brewing cup 500 is placed on the water outlet seat 400, and then rotated clockwise to allow the limit rib 414 to enter the limit groove 595. At this time, the conductive sheet 538 of the tea-brewing cup 500 contacts the electric spring sheet 434 of the water outlet seat 400, and the tea-brewing cup 500 cannot continue to rotate in the clockwise direction, ensuring that the conductive sheet 538 and the electric spring sheet 434 are in close contact.

[0204] a. When it is necessary to make tea, the control panel 350 is operated to apply instructions, and water is automatically poured into the cup from the top of the cup body. When the water is poured, the water is automatically poured and stopped. At this time, the heating body 521 starts to heat at full power, and the temperature sensor 546 detects the temperature. When the temperature is higher than the preset temperature (generally refers to the temperature in the boiling state), the power is reduced to 100W for micro-boiling, and the heating is stopped after about 2 minutes to 3 minutes.
[0205] b. The motor 497 of the water discharge assembly drives the rotating member 496 to rotate, lifts the second connection part 493, and the second connection part 493 drives the top 494 to lift, and the top 494 pushes the water pipe 470 upward, and the water pipe 470 pushes the water discharge pipe 561 away, and the valve core seal 568 is separated from the rib 563. The inner cavity of the cup body is connected through the gap between the valve core seal 568 and the rib 563, and the tea in the cup body automatically falls. After the tea in the cup falls out, the motor 497 reverses and returns to its original position, and the valve core seal 568 returns to its original position and interferes with the rib 563, and the bottom of the cup body is sealed. In the process of the tea falling, the water pipe 470 presses the seal 548 of the first power supply assembly, and the hot water vapor in the water discharge process is isolated, which will not cause the oxidation of the coupler copper sheet.
[0206] c. The user can also directly hold the handle 596 on the cup body and rotate it to remove the entire cup body. At this time, the reset member 569 pushes the drain pipe 561 tightly to seal it. The center of the cup body will not leak water, and it can be used as a regular boiling tea cup.
