[0144] This disclosure provides a beverage machine, the water system of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a purified water tank 110, a water supply circuit, a room temperature water supply circuit 150, and an inlet valve 170. The water supply circuit includes a heating element 131, an outlet valve 132, a first water supply circuit, and a second water supply circuit. The outlet valve 132 connects the heating element 131, the first water supply circuit, and the second water supply circuit. The first water supply circuit has a first outlet 135 at its end, and the second water supply circuit has a second outlet 136 at its end. The room temperature water supply circuit 150 connects to the first outlet 135, and the inlet valve 170 connects the purified water tank 110, the heating element 131, and the room temperature water supply circuit 150. The room temperature water supply circuit 150 can be directly connected to the first outlet 135, or connected to the first water supply circuit. Both the inlet valve 170 and the outlet valve 132 are three-way valves. The purified water stored in the water tank 110 can enter the room temperature water supply circuit 150 or the water supply circuit through the inlet valve 170. Furthermore, the purified water entering the water supply circuit can be heated by the heating element 131 and can flow out from the first water supply circuit 3 or the second water supply circuit. This structure gives the beverage machine three flowable water circuits. By controlling the inlet valve 170 and the outlet valve 132 together, water can be dispensed from the three water circuits as needed.

[0145] The first water supply line is the first hot water line 133, and the second water supply line is the second hot water line 134. The beverage machine has a first water dispensing mode, a second water dispensing mode, and a third water dispensing mode. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2When the beverage machine is in the first water dispensing mode, the inlet valve 170 connects the purified water tank 110 to the room temperature water supply line 150 and blocks the connection between the heating element 131 and the purified water tank 110. The outlet valve 132 connects the second hot water line 134 to the heating element 131 and blocks the connection between the first hot water line 133 and the heating element 131. Room temperature water is dispensed from the first outlet 135. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 When the beverage machine is in the second water dispensing mode, the inlet valve 170 connects the heating element 131 to the purified water tank 110 and blocks the connection between the room temperature water supply path 150 and the purified water tank 110. The outlet valve 132 connects the first hot water path 133 to the heating element 131 and blocks the connection between the second hot water path 134 and the heating element 131. Hot water is dispensed from the first outlet 135. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 When the beverage machine is in the third water dispensing mode, the inlet valve 170 connects the heating element 131 and the purified water tank 110 and blocks the connection between the room temperature water supply path 150 and the purified water tank 110. The outlet valve 132 connects the second hot water path 134 and the heating element 131 and blocks the connection between the first hot water path 133 and the heating element 131. Hot water is dispensed from the second liquid outlet 136.

[0146] The beverage machine also has a standby mode. In standby mode, the inlet valve 170 connects the heating element 131 to the purified water tank 110 and blocks the connection between the room temperature water supply path 150 and the purified water tank 110. The outlet valve 132 connects the second hot water path 134 to the heating element 131 and blocks the connection between the first hot water path 133 and the heating element 131. Since the purified water tank 110, the heating element 131, and the second hot water path 134 are connected in standby mode, hot water can be dispensed from the second outlet 136 when the water pump 190 and the heating element 131 are working, thus switching from standby mode to the third water dispensing mode.

[0147] To prevent dripping from the second outlet 136 in standby mode, this embodiment sets the highest point in the second hot water path 134 higher than the highest liquid level in the purified water tank 110. Thus, without power, the liquid in the second hot water path 134 will not overflow from the second outlet 136 after exceeding the highest point in the path. Compared to installing a stop valve at the second outlet 136, using the liquid position in the water path to prevent dripping from the second outlet 136 provides better leak-proof performance without increasing costs. In one possible implementation, the second outlet 136 can be set higher than the highest liquid level in the purified water tank 110, ensuring that the liquid in the path remains below the second outlet 136 when there is no power, thus preventing it from flowing out.

[0148] In the above water circuit structure, since in standby mode, the inlet valve 170 does not supply water to the room temperature water supply circuit 150 and the outlet valve 132 does not supply water to the first hot water circuit 133, the first outlet 135 connected to the room temperature water supply circuit 150 and the first hot water circuit 133 will not drip. The position of the first outlet 135 can be higher or lower than the highest liquid level of the clean water tank 110.

[0149] In conventional solutions where hot and room temperature water are drawn from the same outlet, both types of water share a water circuit. Regardless of whether hot or room temperature water is drawn, it must pass through the heating element 131 before flowing out. If hot water is drawn first and then room temperature water, the room temperature water is too hot to drink immediately, resulting in a poor user experience. In this embodiment, the inlet of the inlet valve 170 is connected to the purified water tank 110, and the outlet of the inlet valve 170 can switch between the water supply circuit and the room temperature water supply circuit 150. Both the room temperature water supply circuit 150 and the water supply circuit are connected to the first outlet 135. By using the inlet valve 170 to divert the flow, room temperature water flows directly from the first outlet 135 without passing through the heating element 131. This prevents temperature cross-contamination even when the water supply circuit and the room temperature water supply circuit 150 share the same outlet, improving the user experience.

[0150] Please continue reading Figures 1-4 The beverage machine also includes a water pump 190, which is located between the purified water tank 110 and the inlet valve 170. The water pump 190 pumps purified water from the purified water tank 110 to the inlet valve 170 and provides driving force to the water system, driving liquid to flow out from the first outlet 135 or the second outlet 136. For example, in standby mode, the water pump 190 is not activated, the highest position in the second hot water path 134 is higher than the highest liquid level in the purified water tank 110, and no water flows from the second outlet 136. In the third water dispensing mode, the water pump 190 is activated, driving purified water to flow through the inlet valve 170, the heating element 131, and the outlet valve 132 into the second hot water path 134, causing hot water to flow from the second outlet 136 of the second hot water path 134. In the first water intake mode, the water pump 190 starts, driving purified water to flow through the inlet valve 170 into the room temperature water supply circuit 150. Room temperature water is discharged from the first outlet 135. At this time, since the outlet valve 132 is not connected to the first hot water circuit 133, it acts as a reverse sealing mechanism, preventing room temperature water from flowing back from the first hot water circuit 133. In the second water intake mode, the water pump 190 starts, driving purified water to flow through the inlet valve 170, the heating element 131, and the outlet valve 132 into the first hot water circuit 133. Hot water is discharged from the first outlet 135. At this time, since the inlet valve 170 is not connected to the room temperature water supply circuit 150, it acts as a reverse sealing mechanism, preventing hot water from flowing back from the room temperature water supply circuit 150.

[0151] The first hot water circuit 133 is also equipped with a steam separator, which can discharge the steam in the first hot water circuit 133. When hot water is drawn through the first hot water circuit 133, if the residual steam in the circuit is not discharged in time, it will condense on the pipe wall, and then form water droplets that flow out from the first liquid outlet 135 after hot water is drawn. By setting up a steam separator to discharge the steam in the pipe in time, it can prevent steam condensation from causing water to drip from the first liquid outlet 135.

[0152] In one possible implementation, the water vapor separator includes a return water pipe 137, the inlet of which is connected to the first hot water circuit 133, and the outlet of which is connected to the purified water tank 110 and is above the highest liquid level of the purified water tank 110. Steam in the first hot water circuit 133 can rise along the return water pipe 137 and eventually enter the purified water tank 110, preventing steam from condensing near the first liquid outlet 135.

[0153] The purified water tank 110 is also equipped with a first water level sensor 111, which is located near the highest liquid level of the purified water tank 110. The first water level sensor 111 is used to monitor the liquid level of the purified water in the purified water tank 110, and then issue a water production reminder when the purified water in the purified water tank 110 does not reach the water level corresponding to the first water level sensor 111.

[0154] See Figure 1 The beverage machine also includes a raw water tank 210, a purification component, and a booster pump 250. The purification component connects the raw water tank 210 to the purified water tank 110, and the booster pump 250 connects the raw water tank 210 to the purification component. The booster pump 250 pumps the raw water in the raw water tank 210 to the purification component, which purifies the raw water into purified water and then delivers it to the purified water tank 110. The purification component may include a pre-filter 231, a reverse osmosis membrane filter 232, and a post-filter 233. The reverse osmosis membrane filter 232 is connected to the raw water tank 210 via a wastewater solenoid valve 234. The pre-filter 231 can be a polypropylene activated carbon composite filter, and the post-filter 233 can be an activated carbon filter.

[0155] Figure 5The diagram illustrates the external structure of a beverage machine, which includes a body, a water outlet 400, and a tea brewing cup 500. The body comprises an outer shell 310, a purified water tank 110, a water supply path, a room temperature water supply path 150, an inlet valve 170, a purification component, and a booster pump 250. The outer shell 310 has an inner cavity and a front panel 312. The purified water tank 110, water supply path, room temperature water supply path 150, inlet valve 170, purification component, and booster pump 250 are located in the inner cavity. A first outlet 135 and a second outlet 136 protrude through the front panel 312 and are exposed to the outside of the outer shell 310. The raw water tank 210 is located on the side of the outer shell 310 away from the front panel 312. The water outlet 400 is located on the front panel 312 and below the second outlet 136. The tea brewing cup 500 is detachably located between the second outlet 136 and the water outlet 400.

[0156] The raw water tank 210 has a transparent shell so that users can observe the water level inside the raw water tank 210 and add water in time. In addition, a second water level sensor 211 can be installed in the lower part of the raw water tank 210 to monitor the water level of the liquid inside the raw water tank 210 and 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 in the longitudinal direction of the front panel 312 to make full use of the lateral space of the panel and reduce the overall height of the beverage machine.

[0158] The beverage dispenser also includes a control panel 350, which is located on the front panel 312. The first dispensing port 135 is located below the control panel 350. The control panel 350 is electrically connected to the water pump 190, the inlet valve 170, the 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. Placing the first dispensing port 135 below the control panel 350 makes the beverage dispenser look more unified and aesthetically pleasing.

[0159] The front panel 312 is also provided with a cup lid 600. The second liquid outlet 136 constitutes the spout of the cup lid 600. The cup lid 600 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 310 so that the cup lid 600 has a first state of being closed to the tea cup 500 and a second state of being off the tea cup 500; when the cup lid 600 is in the first state, liquid from the second liquid outlet 136 is allowed to flow into the tea cup 500; when the cup lid 600 is in the second state, no water is dispensed from the second liquid outlet 136. In one possible implementation, a sensor is provided on the teacup 500 at the position for contacting the lid 600. The sensor is electrically connected to the controller. When the lid 600 is in the first state, the sensor detects the teacup 500. Based on the sensor's detection signal, the controller controls the inlet valve 170 and the outlet valve 132 to allow water to flow from the second outlet 136. When the lid 600 is in the second state, the sensor cannot detect the lid 600, and the controller controls the inlet valve 170 and the outlet valve 132 to prevent water from flowing from the second outlet 136.

[0160] The lower end of the front panel 312 is also provided with a water collection box 700, which is located below the water outlet 400 and the first liquid outlet 135. There is space for placing a water cup between the water collection box 700 and the water outlet 400, and between the water collection box 700 and the first liquid outlet 135. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The water collection box 700 includes a base 710, a heat preservation component, and a cover 750. The base 710 includes a base 710 housing with a top opening 711 and a partition 712 disposed within the base 710 housing, the partition 712 dividing the space within the base 710 housing into a first space 713 and a second space 714. The heat preservation component includes a heat preservation platform 731 for supporting the water cup and a heating element 732 for heating the heat preservation platform 731, the heating element 732 being disposed within the first space 713, and the heat preservation platform 731 being disposed on the partition 712. The cover plate 750 covers the top opening 711 of the base 710 housing. The cover plate 750 has an opening 751 corresponding to the warming platform 731 and a water filter hole 752 communicating with the second space 714. The warming platform 731 is exposed to the opening 751, and there is a drainage channel 753 between the edge of the opening 751 and the warming platform 731 to guide the liquid on the cover plate 750 to the water collection box 700. When the heating element 732 is energized, it heats the warming platform 731, which can keep the water cup placed on the warming platform 731 warm.

[0161] Figure 8 The functional principle of the beverage machine is illustrated; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 8Raw water in the raw water tank 210 enters the purification component under the drive of the booster pump 250, and is filtered three times to become purified water. The purified water is stored in the purified water tank 110. In the first water intake mode, the inlet valve 170 is connected to the normal temperature water supply line 150, and the water pump 190 drives the purified water in the purified water tank 110 to flow out from the first outlet 135 through the inlet valve 170, the normal temperature water supply line 150, and the water vapor separator. In the second water intake mode, the inlet valve 170 is connected to the heating element 131, and the outlet valve 132 is connected to the first hot water line 133. The water pump 190 drives the purified water in the purified water tank 110 to flow out from the inlet valve 170, the heating element 131, and the water vapor separator. The water outlet valve 132, the first hot water path 133, and the water vapor separator 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 path 134, the cup lid 600 is closed on the tea brewing cup 500, and the water pump 190 drives the purified water in the purified water tank 110 to flow into the tea brewing cup 500 from the second liquid outlet 136 through the water inlet valve 170, the heating element 131, the water outlet valve 132, and the second hot water path 134 to brew tea. After the tea is brewed, the power mechanism at the lower end of the tea brewing cup 500 works, causing the brewed tea in the tea brewing cup 500 to flow into the water cup below. The tea brewing cup 500 includes a cup body, a heating element 521, a first power supply component 527, and a water discharge component.

[0162] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 The bottom of the cup body has a water outlet 511. A heating element 521 is used to heat the cup body. A first power supply component 527 is located at the bottom of the cup body and surrounds the water outlet 511, thus avoiding it. A drain assembly is used to control the discharge of liquid from the cup body; the upper part of the drain assembly is connected to the water outlet 511, and the lower part passes through the first power supply component 527. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 18-25 The water outlet seat 400 includes an upper cover 410, a water guide pipe 470, a second power supply component, a power mechanism, and a lower cover 450. The water guide pipe 470 is movably disposed on the upper cover 410 and is used to connect with the drain pipe 561. The second power supply component is disposed around the water guide pipe 470 and is electrically connected to the first power supply component 527. The lower cover 450 is connected to the upper cover 410. The power mechanism is disposed in the accommodating space 456 between the upper cover 410 and the lower cover 450. The water guide pipe 470 passes through the upper cover through hole 412 of the upper cover 410 and the lower cover through hole 452 of the lower cover 450. The power mechanism is used to drive the water guide pipe 470 to move so that the water guide pipe 470 pushes the valve core 567 from the first position to the second position, or causes the valve core 567 to return from the second position to the first position under the action of the reset member 569.

[0163] The beverage machine in this embodiment is a water purifier and tea brewer, which integrates water purification, machine heating and tea cup heating functions. The purified water in the water tank can be heated by the heating element and then flow into the tea cup from the second outlet to brew the tea leaves in the tea cup. At the same time, the tea cup heating function can be activated to brew the tea in the cup through the heating element 521.

[0164] In existing technology, the teacup is inserted horizontally into the docking seat on the machine body, and the teacup and the docking seat are electrically connected via conductive pins. This design involves pushing in / pulling out the teacup to install and remove it from the docking seat, increasing the risk of liquid spillage during removal. Furthermore, the entire weight of the teacup is borne by the docking seat, leading to significant stress and potential deformation of the conductive pins and poor electrical contact over time. In this embodiment, the water outlet is located on the machine body, and the teacup is positioned between the water outlet and the machine body's liquid outlet. The water outlet supports the teacup, and the teacup and water outlet are electrically connected via a longitudinally positioned coupler. This structure ensures the stability and lifespan of the electrical connection between the teacup and the water outlet, preventing poor electrical contact.

[0165] Please see Figure 13 The cup body includes a cup body 512 and a base 513. The base 513 has a water outlet 511 and a groove 514 surrounding the water outlet 511. The groove 514 is filled with food-grade adhesive 515. The lower end of the cup body 512 is accommodated in the groove 514 and is sealed to the base 513 by the adhesive 515. Specifically, the water outlet 511 is located in the middle of the base 513, and the groove 514 is set along the outer ring of the base 513. The cup body 512 and the base 513 are installed using a potting process. First, the groove 514 of the base 513 is filled with food-grade adhesive 515, and then the cup body 512 is placed into the groove 514. The adhesive 515 secures the cup body 512 to the base 513 and provides waterproofing. The cup body 512 can be made of transparent or semi-transparent glass, allowing users to observe the inside of the cup when brewing or steeping tea. A handle can also be installed on the cup body 512, allowing users to easily disassemble and install the tea cup and water spout by holding the handle.

[0166] Please see Figures 15-17The teacup 500 includes a heating element 521 and a first power supply component 527. The heating element 521 is located on the side of the base 513 away from the cup body, and the first power supply component 527 is electrically connected to the heating element 521. The heating element 521 includes a substrate 522, a resistive heating layer 523 disposed on the substrate 522, and a conductive circuit layer 524 electrically connected to the resistive heating layer 523. The first power supply component 527 is concentrically arranged with the water outlet 511. The first power supply component 527 includes a first power supply component bracket 528, a conductive sheet 538 disposed at the lower part of the first power supply component bracket 528, and a conductive spring piece 539 disposed at the upper part of the first power supply component bracket 528 and connected to the conductive sheet 538. The conductive spring piece 539 abuts against the conductive circuit layer 524. A connecting plate 543 is also provided between the first power supply component bracket 528 and the base 513, and the connecting plate 543 is connected to both the base 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 drainage component.

[0167] Multifunctional teapots need to fulfill multiple functions, but the overall space is limited. If the first power supply component 527 and the water outlet 511 are configured such that the projections of the first power supply component 527 and the water outlet 511 on the bottom of the cup do not interfere with or overlap, the volume of the teapot 500 will be limited. The water outlet 511 will also need to be eccentrically positioned, and the water collection structure on the base of the machine will need to extend a considerable distance beyond the body, resulting in increased space occupied in all directions. In this embodiment, the water outlet 511, the heating element 521, and the first power supply component 527 are provided at the bottom of the teapot 500, enabling quick water access from the bottom of the teapot and continuous heating of the teapot. Furthermore, by arranging the heating element 521 and the first power supply component 527 around the water outlet 511, the contact surface between the heating element and the bottom of the cup is increased, improving heating efficiency and reducing the space occupied in all directions.

[0168] In one possible implementation, the resistive heating layer 523 includes a plurality of heating resistors 526 disposed around the substrate vias 525, the conductive line layer 524 includes conductive lines 541 connected in series with each heating resistor 526 and conductive contacts 542 disposed on the conductive lines 541, and conductive springs 539 abut against the conductive contacts 542. Figure 15 The heating element 521 shown includes two conductive contacts 542, one N (NEUTRAL, neutral wire) and one L (LIVE, live wire). Figure 16The first power supply component 527 is provided with two conductive spring contacts 539. The conductive spring contacts 539 of the first power supply component 527 contact the L and N conductive contacts 542 on the heating element 521 to supply power to the heating element 521. In addition, the heating element 521 is provided with a stud, and the first power supply component 527 is connected and fixed to the stud by screws to serve as grounding. In this embodiment, no wires or terminals are used between the heating element 521 and the first power supply component 527, which can avoid the situation where the wires come into contact with the heating element 521 and are aged or damaged by heat, and has the advantages of good contact and durability. In addition, multiple heating resistors 526 are arranged around the through hole 525 of the substrate to form a ring heating area at the bottom of the cup, so that the bottom of the cup 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 fuse 547 are attached to the chassis 513. The fuse 547 is connected to a conductive piece 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 element 521 cannot heat up. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 546 is lower than or equal to the 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, cutting off the power supply to the two conductive springs 539, and the power supply cannot be restored, so as to avoid dry-burning damage to the whole machine and ensure safe and reliable use. Figure 15 In the structure of the heating element 521 shown, the positions of 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 element. When the temperature of the heating element is too high, the power supply to the coupler will be cut off.

[0170] Please see Figure 11The drainage assembly includes a drain pipe 561 and a valve assembly. The inlet of the drain pipe 561 is connected to the outlet hole 511, and the outlet passes through the through hole 530 of the first power supply component bracket. The valve assembly is located in the outlet channel 562 of the drain pipe 561 and includes a valve core 567, a valve core seal 568 and a reset member 569 disposed on the valve core 567. The valve core 567 has a first position where the valve core seal 568 seals the outlet channel 562 and a second position where the valve core seal 568 releases the seal on the outlet channel 562. The reset member 569 acts on the valve core 567 to apply a force to the valve core 567 to move it from the second position toward the first position. Specifically, the inner wall of the drain pipe 561 has a raised rib 563 extending towards the center of the drain pipe 561. The valve core 567 passes through the water passage hole 564 formed by the raised rib 563. The valve core seal 568 is sleeved on the upper end of the valve core 567 and located between the raised rib 563 and the inlet of the drain pipe 561. One end of the reset member 569 is fixed to the lower end of the valve core 567, and the other end abuts against the raised rib 563. When the valve core 567 is in the first position, the valve core seal 568 and the raised rib 563 are press-fitted. When the valve core 567 is in the second position, the valve core seal 568 and the raised rib 563 are clearance-fitted. The reset member 569 can be a spring.

[0171] A drain pipe seal 570 is provided between the drain pipe 561 and the water outlet 511. The drain pipe seal 570 completely blocks the gap between the drain pipe 561 and the water outlet 511, so that the liquid in the cup can be discharged from the drain pipe 561 and prevent the liquid from seeping into the first power supply component 527.

[0172] The teapot 500 also includes a sealing structure. This sealing structure ensures a sealed connection between the water pipe 470 and the drain pipe 561 when the valve assembly is in the open state, preventing the water outlet 400 and the electrical components in the teapot 500 from coming into contact with moisture. Specifically, a first power supply component seal 548 is provided between the first power supply component bracket 528 and the drain pipe 561. When the valve assembly is in the open state, the water pipe 470 and the drain pipe 561 are in fluid communication, and the water inlet 473 abuts against the first power supply component seal 548. The first power supply component seal 548 cooperates with the water outlet 400 to prevent moisture leakage when water flows from the drain pipe 561. When the valve assembly is in the open state, the valve core 567 is in the second position.

[0173] The drain assembly also includes a filter screen 574, which is located at the water outlet 511 or the inlet of the drain pipe 561. Liquid in the cup is filtered by the filter screen 574 before being discharged from the drain pipe 561, preventing tea leaves and other brewing materials from clogging the drain pipe 561.

[0174] Please see Figure 24The second power supply component includes a second power supply component bracket 431 and an electric reed 434 disposed on the second power supply component bracket 431, the electric reed 434 being in contact with the conductive sheet 538.

[0175] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 17 As shown, the first power supply component bracket 528 includes multiple first annular ribs 529 surrounding the first power supply component bracket through-hole 530, and multiple conductive sheets 538 are equally spaced on the same first annular rib 529. Figure 18 , Figure 19 As shown, the second power supply component bracket 431 has a second power supply component bracket through hole 432 in the middle. The second power supply component bracket 431 also includes a plurality of second annular ribs 433 surrounding the second power supply component bracket through hole 432. A plurality of electric springs 434 are equally spaced on the same second annular rib 433, and the electric springs 434 correspond one-to-one with the conductive sheet 538.

[0176] A second power supply component seal 435 is provided between the second power supply component bracket 431 and the water outlet seat cover 410, such as Figure 24 As shown, the second power supply component seal 435 completely blocks the gap between the second power supply component bracket 431 and the water outlet seat cover 410, preventing liquid entering the upper part of the water outlet seat 400 from flowing through the gap to the lower part of the water outlet seat 400, and avoiding moisture damage to the electrical components located at the lower part of the water outlet seat 400.

[0177] Please see Figure 19 , Figure 20 and Figure 21 The power mechanism includes a top member 491 and an electric drive assembly 495. The top member 491 has a first connecting portion 492 rotatably connected to the lower cover 450 of the water outlet seat, a second connecting portion 493 offset from the first connecting portion 492, and a top 494 offset from the first connecting portion 492. The electric drive assembly 495 can drive the second connecting portion 493 to move, so that the top 494 switches between a raised position and a lowered position. Figure 21 As shown, when the top 494 changes from the lowered position to the raised position, the top 494 pushes the water guide pipe 470 closer to the valve core 567 and raises the valve core 567 to the second position, as shown. Figure 20 As shown, when the top 494 transitions from the raised position to the lowered position, the water guide pipe 470 is forced to fall back, and the valve core 567 returns to the first position under the action of the reset member 569. The electric drive assembly 495 includes a rotating member 496 rotatably mounted 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 reading Figure 24The water guide pipe 470 is detachably mounted on the upper cover 410 of the water outlet seat. The inner wall of the water guide pipe 470 is provided with a pusher 471 for moving the valve core 567, and the outer wall of the water guide pipe 470 is provided with a guide 472. When the top 494 switches from the lowered position to the raised position, the top 494 abuts against the guide 472 to drive the pusher 471 of the water guide pipe 470 to move towards the valve core 567. The inner wall of the water guide pipe 470 is provided with at least two pushers 471 spaced axially along the water guide pipe 470.

[0179] Please see Figure 24 , Figure 27 , Figure 28 One end of the water guide pipe 470 that connects to the drain pipe 561 is the water inlet 473, and the other end is the water outlet 474. The push part 471 extends towards the water inlet 473 but does not exceed it. A connecting space 475 is formed between the push part 471 and the inner wall of the water guide pipe 470. The lower end of the drain pipe 561 is accommodated in the connecting space 475. The push part 471 is directly opposite the valve core 567, and the water inlet 473 is directly opposite the seal 548 of the first power supply component. Figure 29 As shown, when the pusher 471 lifts the valve core 567 to the second position, the water guide pipe 470 and the drain pipe 561 are in fluid communication, and the water inlet end 473 abuts against the seal 548 of the first power supply component.

[0180] like Figure 28 As shown, when the water guide pipe 470 is not lifted by the top member 491, there is a first distance or contact between the push part 471 of the water guide pipe 470 and the valve core 567, and a second distance between the water inlet end 473 of the water guide pipe 470 and the first power supply component seal 548. The first distance is less than the travel distance of the valve core 567 from the first position to the second position, and the travel distance 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 guide pipe 470 is embedded in the first power supply component seal 548 to achieve a seal and prevent liquid in the water guide pipe 470 from overflowing from the contact position between the water guide pipe 470 and the first power supply component seal 548.

[0181] like Figure 9 As shown, the teacup 500 also includes a cup holder 590, with the cup body disposed on the cup holder 590. 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 support protrusion 591. When the teacup 500 is placed on a table or other work surface, the support protrusion 591 of the teacup 500 contacts the work surface, providing support and anti-slip function. It also prevents the lower end surface of the teacup 500 from rubbing against and scratching the work surface. In addition, since the support protrusion 591 prevents the lower end surface of the cup holder 590 from directly contacting the work surface, even if there is a small amount of water on the work surface, it will not enter the cup holder 590, thus preventing water from entering the first power supply component 527.

[0182] exist Figure 10 In the structure shown, the cup holder 590 is also provided with a first drain hole 536. When the user washes the tea cup 500 or places the tea 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. The water that enters the cup holder 590 can be discharged downward through the first drain hole 536 after the tea cup 500 is laid flat.

[0183] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 10 As shown, the cup holder 590 has a first opening 592 at its top 494, and a bottom boss 593 protruding away from the first opening 592 at its bottom. The bottom surface of the bottom boss 593 has 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 in the second opening 594, and the first drain hole 536 is provided on the bottom boss 593.

[0184] Please see Figure 18 and Figure 24 The upper cover 410 of the water outlet has a baffle 411 protruding away from the lower cover 450 of the water outlet. The baffle 411 and the second power supply component bracket 431 form an installation space 413, in which the bottom protrusion 593 of the teacup 500 is accommodated. The upper cover 410 of the water outlet has a second drain hole 436 communicating with the accommodating space 456. The second power supply component bracket 431 has a third drain hole 457 communicating with the accommodating space 456. The end of the reed 434 that contacts the conductive sheet 538 is away from the third drain hole 457 to prevent the reed 434 from getting damp.

[0185] like Figure 25 As shown, when the teacup 500 is placed on the water outlet 400, the first drain hole 536 of the teacup 500 and the second drain hole 436 of the water outlet 400 are connected within the mounting space 413. Liquid falling into the cup holder can flow into the receiving space 456 through the first drain hole 536 and the second drain hole 436. Furthermore, liquid in the cup holder can also flow into the receiving space 456 through the gap between the water guide pipe 470 and the second power supply component bracket 431, and through the third drain hole 457 on the second power supply component bracket 431. In short, whether the teacup 500 is installed on the water outlet 400, or the teacup 500 is removed from the water outlet 400, or liquid falls onto the water outlet in any other situation, the liquid can flow into the receiving space 456, ensuring that the electrical components are not damp or ingress water.

[0186] Please see Figure 23 and Figure 24A sleeve 454 is provided around the lower cover 450 of the water outlet seat and around the through hole 452. The sleeve 454 extends towards the upper cover 410 of the water outlet seat. The water outlet end 474 of the water guide pipe 470 passes through the sleeve 454. The sleeve 454 limits the water guide pipe 470 and prevents the water outlet end 474 from shaking. The inner wall of the sleeve 454 is also provided with a guide block 455. The guide block 455 contacts the outer wall of the water guide pipe 470, so that there is a water passage gap 498 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 opening of the sleeve 454, the liquid can enter from the opening of the sleeve 454 and flow out along the water passage gap 498. The sleeve 454 and / or the lower cover 450 of the water outlet seat are also provided with a drain hole 451 near the lower cover through hole 452, so that the liquid in the accommodating space 456 can flow out from the lower cover through hole 452 through the drain hole 451. Figure 24 As shown, the drain hole 451 is located near the bottom of the housing space 456 of the sleeve 454, and the drain hole 451 is connected to the water passage gap 498. Thus, when the liquid level in the housing space 456 does not exceed the opening of the sleeve 454, the liquid can enter from the drain hole 451 and flow out along the water passage gap 498.

[0187] The lower cover 450 of the water outlet seat is also provided with a water-blocking rib 453. The water-blocking rib 453 is located between the sleeve 454 and the motor 497, and is used to block the liquid in the accommodating space 456 from flowing to the motor 497, so as to prevent water from entering the motor 497.

[0188] The teacup 500 and the water outlet 400 are separable. The teacup 500 and the water outlet 400 are connected by a limiting structure. This ensures stable power supply and guarantees the sealing effect of the first power supply component seal 548 when water is dispensed, preventing the electrical components in the water outlet 400 and the teacup 500 from contacting moisture. The limiting structure includes a limiting groove 595 and a limiting rib 414 that engages with the limiting groove 595. One of the teacup 500's cup base 590 and the water outlet cover 410 of the water outlet 400 has a limiting groove 595, and the other has a limiting rib 414 that engages with the limiting groove 595. After the limiting rib 414 enters the limiting groove 595, the conductive plate 538 of the teacup 500 contacts the electric spring 434 of the water outlet 400, preventing the teacup 500 from rotating relative to the water outlet 400, thus ensuring stable power supply. The limiting rib 414 and the limiting groove 595 can be set vertically. Since the limiting groove limits the left and right of the limiting rib, the tea cup 500 cannot rotate after being placed on the water outlet seat 400. Alternatively, the limiting rib 414 and the limiting groove 595 can be set horizontally. When the tea cup 500 is placed on the water outlet seat 400, the limiting rib 414 can be rotated to enter the limiting groove 595, thus achieving positioning. Figure 26A connection structure between a teacup 500 and a water outlet base 400 is shown. The bottom boss 593 of the cup base 590 has a horizontally arranged limiting groove 595. The baffle 411 of the water outlet base cover 410 has limiting ribs 414 corresponding to the limiting grooves 595. When the teacup 500 is placed on the water outlet base 400 and then rotated clockwise, the limiting ribs 414 enter the limiting grooves 595. At this point, the conductive piece 538 of the teacup 500 contacts the electric reed 434 of the water outlet base 400, preventing further clockwise rotation of the teacup 500 and ensuring tight contact between the conductive piece 538 and the electric reed 434.

[0189] In the attached diagram, Figures 9-29 This corresponds to a tea brewing cup 500 and a matching water spout 400. Figures 30-34 Corresponding to another tea brewing cup 500 and its matching spout 400, the above... Figures 9-29 The common features of the two designs were introduced using examples. The following section explains the detailed differences between the two designs.

[0190] Figures 9-29 In addition to the common features of the teapot 500 and water spout 400 described above, the teapot 500 and water spout 400 shown also have the following detailed features.

[0191] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 11 The base 513 of the tea cup 500 has an annular platform 517 protruding towards the first power supply component 527 along the edge of the water outlet 511. The outer wall of the inlet of the drain pipe 561 has a pipe opening flange 518, and the drain pipe seal 570 is located between the pipe opening flange 518 and the annular platform 517.

[0192] like Figure 12 As shown, the drain pipe seal 570 includes a sealing ring 571 and a sealing step 572 located on the inner wall of the sealing ring 571 and at its lower end. The sealing ring 571 is press-fitted with the outer wall of the pipe opening flange 518 and the inner wall of the ring platform 517. The sealing step 572 is press-fitted with the lower end face of the pipe opening flange 518 and the upper end face of the ring platform 517. The outer wall of the sealing ring 571 has an expansion portion 573, which abuts against the inner wall of the ring platform 517. The expansion portion 573 on the outer wall of the sealing ring 571 makes it easier for the sealing ring 571 to deform when squeezed by the pipe opening flange 518, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.

[0193] The inner wall of the inlet of the drain pipe 561 is provided with an inner step 565. The filter screen 574 includes a first filter part 575 and a first mounting part 576 surrounding the first filter part 575. The first mounting part 576 abuts against the inner step 565, and the first filter part 575 blocks the inlet of the drain pipe 561.

[0194] The drain pipe 561 is also equipped with a fastener 577, which is threaded into the drain pipe 561 to press the drain pipe seal 570 between the pipe opening flange 518 and the annular platform 517. The drain pipe 561 has external threads on its outer wall, and the fastener 577 has internal threads. The fastener 577 is threaded into the drain pipe 561, and the length of the external thread on the drain pipe 561 is greater than the length of the internal thread on the fastener 577, allowing the fastener 577 to be adjusted on the drain pipe 561.

[0195] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 13 The first power supply component bracket 528 includes, from the inside out, a first power supply component bracket through hole 530, a limiting platform 531, a clearance step 532, a first ring body 533, and a second ring body 534. The limiting platform 531 and the clearance step 532 are located on the upper part of the first power supply component bracket 528, and the first ring body 533 and the second ring body 534 are located on the lower part of the first power supply component 527. A first ring groove 535 is formed between the first ring body 533 and the second ring body 534. A fastener 577 is located on the inner side of the clearance step 532, and the limiting platform 531 restricts the fastener 577 between the fastener 577 and the ring platform 517 of the chassis 513. When the tea cup 500 is installed on the water outlet 400, the electric reed 434 of the second power supply component contacts the conductive sheet 538.

[0196] Please see Figure 13 A limiting hole 537 is also provided between the step 532 and the first ring body 533; for example Figure 14 As shown, the first power supply component seal 548 includes a sealing ring 549 and a lug 550 disposed on one side of the sealing ring 549. The end of the lug 550 away from the sealing ring 549 has a limiting head. The lug 550 passes through the limiting hole 537 and is supported between the relief step 532 and the first ring body 533 by the limiting head. The sealing ring 549 is interference-fitted with the drain pipe 561 and the first ring body 533.

[0197] Figures 30-34 In addition to the common features of the teacup 500 and the water spout 400 shown, the teacup 500 and the water spout 400 that are used with it also have the following detailed features.

[0198] The drain pipe 561 and the first power supply component 527 are integrally formed, which can reduce assembly steps and ensure the stability of the connection between the drain pipe 561 and the first power supply component 527.

[0199] Please see Figure 30 The chassis 513 has an annular rib 519 protruding towards the first power supply component 527 along the edge of the water outlet 511. The drain pipe 561 passes through the annular rib 519, and the drain pipe seal 570 is located between the annular rib 519 and the drain pipe 561.

[0200] Please see Figure 31 and Figure 32 The drain pipe seal 570 includes an inner ring 578, an outer ring 579 surrounding the inner ring 578, and a transition portion 580 connecting the outer ring 579 and the inner ring 578. A receiving groove 581 is formed between the outer ring 579 and the inner ring 578. The drain pipe seal 570 is fitted onto the annular rib 519. The inner ring 578 is press-fitted with the outer wall of the drain pipe 561 and the inner wall of the annular rib 519. The transition portion 580 is pressed between the upper end face of the first power supply component bracket 528 and the lower end face of the annular rib 519. The drain pipe seal 570 has a U-shaped cross-section. During assembly, the U-shaped opening is aligned with the annular rib 519 and inserted. The drain pipe seal 570 is fitted onto the annular rib 519, and then the second power supply component is installed, so that the second power supply component bracket 431 abuts against the transition portion 580 of the drain pipe seal 570. The drain pipe seal 570 of this embodiment can achieve sealing in two directions and is easy to assemble.

[0201] Please see Figure 32 The filter screen 574 includes a second filter section 582 and a second mounting section 583 connected to one side of the second filter section 582. The second mounting section 583 is engaged with the inner wall of the end of the drain pipe 561 that extends into the water outlet 511. The second filter section 582 abuts against the base 513 and blocks the water outlet 511. Specifically, the second filter section 582 is bowl-shaped, and the second mounting section 583 is a radial rib provided inside the bowl-shaped structure. The outer side of the rib abuts against the inner wall of the drain pipe 561, and the edge of the bowl-shaped structure abuts against the base 513. This structure is easy to assemble and disassemble, and allows the filter screen 574 to fit tightly against the base 513, resulting in good filtration effect.

[0202] The teapot 500 is installed on the water outlet 400. The teapot 500 and the water outlet 400 are connected by a snap-fit, preventing any shaking or vertical displacement. At this time, the conductive plate 538 of the teapot 500 is in contact with the reed switch 434 of the water outlet 400. The water pipe 470 and the valve core 567 are in the following states: Figure 33 As shown, there is a distance between the push part 471 of the water guide pipe 470 and the valve core 567 to ensure that the water guide pipe 470 will not push up the valve core 567 and cause water leakage. Figure 34 After the motor 497 drives the top component 491 to lift the water pipe 470, the push part 471 of the water pipe 470 opens the valve core 567, and the water in the tea cup 500 flows down along the drain pipe 561. At this time, the water inlet end 473 of the water pipe 470 presses against the seal 548 of the first power supply component to ensure that water and water vapor do not overflow the water pipe 470. When water is taken out or water taking is paused, the motor 497 returns to its original position, and the water pipe 470 also returns to its original position. At this time, the spring presses against the valve core 567, and the valve core seal 568 seals the water, so the tea cup 500 will not leak.

[0203] In this embodiment, the second outlet 136 is located above the cup body. Heated purified water flows into the cup body from the top, first brewing the tea inside. Then, the heating element is controlled to heat the cup body, thus achieving the tea-brewing function. The specific operation is as follows:

[0204] a. When tea needs to be brewed, the control panel 350 issues a command to automatically pour water into the cup from the top of the cup. After the water is poured, the water pouring stops automatically. At this time, the heating element 521 starts heating at full power, and the temperature sensor 546 detects the temperature. When the temperature is higher than the preset temperature (generally referring to the temperature under boiling conditions), the power is reduced to 100W for simmering. Heating stops after about 2 to 3 minutes.

[0205] b. The motor 497 of the drain assembly drives the rotating part 496 to rotate, lifting the second connecting part 493. The second connecting part 493 drives the top 494 to lift, and the top 494 pushes the water guide pipe 470 upward. The water guide pipe 470 pushes open the drain pipe 561, and the valve core seal 568 disengages from the rib 563. The inner cavity of the cup is connected through the gap between the valve core seal 568 and the rib 563, and the tea in the cup automatically falls. After the tea in the cup has fallen out, the motor 497 reverses and returns to its original position, and the valve core seal 568 returns to its original position and is pressurized with the rib 563, sealing the bottom of the cup. During the falling of the tea, the water guide pipe 470 presses against the seal 548 of the first power supply component, isolating the hot water vapor during the draining process and preventing oxidation of the copper sheet of the coupler.

[0206] c. Users can also directly grasp the handle 596 on the cup body and rotate to remove the entire cup body. At this time, the reset part 569 pushes the drain pipe 561 to seal it, and the center of the cup body will not leak water. It can be used as a regular tea cup.
