Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a teacup, in particular to a tea brewing cup. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the improvement of people's living standards, people pay more and more attention to health preservation, and drinking tea has become a habit of people's health preservation, and portable tea cups have also entered thousands of households. Most of the tea-water separation structures of tea cups currently sold on the market use a button set on the pot cover. By manually pressing the button, the lever connected below the button tilts the valve body, so that the valve body leaves the drain port of the tea inner cup, and the brewed tea flows into the cup body through the drain port of the inner cup. This tea-water separation structure has the disadvantage of low reliability. The valve body often cannot fall completely into the water outlet due to improper cooperation between the button connecting rod and the lever that pries the valve body, resulting in water leakage. This will cause the tea to not be fully brewed. In addition, due to the complex structure, after long-term use, its components are easily damaged and cannot be replaced. The entire tea cup can only be purchased again, which undoubtedly increases the replacement cost. Summary of the invention

The sealing ring 31 is plugged in the water outlet 21. A through hole is provided on the sealing ring 31 to allow the tea in the tea brewing cup 2 to flow out. The blocking valve 32 is provided on the through hole of the sealing ring 31. The magnetic body 33 is fixed on the blocking valve 32. The driving mechanism 4 is provided in the handle 5. The magnet 34 is connected and fixed to the driving mechanism 4 so that the driving mechanism 4 drives the magnet 34 to approach or move away from the magnetic body 33, so that the blocking valve 32 is driven away from the through hole of the sealing ring 31 by magnetic adsorption, a gap is generated, and the tea flows out. The upper surface of the magnetic body 33 corresponds to the surface of the magnet 34, with the N pole corresponding to the S pole. When the magnet 34 approaches the magnetic body 33, the upper surface of the magnetic body 33 and the magnet 34 are attracted to each other by magnetic force, so that the magnetic body 33 is driven away from the through hole of the sealing ring 31, a gap is generated, and the tea flows into the cup body 1. The driving mechanism 4 includes a slider 41 and a driving motor 42. The slider 41 is movably connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 42. The slider 41 can move along the axial direction of the output shaft of the driving motor 42. The magnet 34 is fixed in a slider groove 411 of the slider 41. The slider groove 411 faces the cup body 1. The slider 41 drives the magnet 34 away from or close to the magnetic body 33. When the slider 41 is completely close to the magnet 34, the magnet 34 is just opposite to the magnetic body 33. The handle 5 is in an inverted U shape and has two handles. A first accommodating cavity 51 extending along the height direction of the cup body 1 is provided in the handle at one end close to the cup body 1 to accommodate the driving mechanism 4. At least one pair of opposite outer surfaces of the slider 41 contacts the corresponding two end walls of the first accommodating cavity 51 to guide and limit the rotation of the slider 41. The output shaft of the driving motor 42 is fixed downwardly through a fixing seat to the upper end of the first accommodating cavity 51. The output shaft of the driving motor 42 is provided with a thread. The slider 41 is provided with a screw hole 412. The output shaft is threadedly connected to the screw hole 412. The screw hole 412 can pass through the slider 41 or not, satisfying the slider 4. 1, when the driving motor 42 drives the slider 41 to move downward, the magnet 34 gradually approaches the magnetic body 33, and the magnetic body 33 is partially or completely separated from the through hole on the sealing ring 31 under the magnetic attraction of the magnet 34, so that the liquid in the tea-making inner cup 2 can flow into the cup body 1; the handle 5 is also provided with a second accommodating chamber 52, and a rechargeable battery 43 is arranged in the second accommodating chamber 52, and the battery 43 is electrically connected to the control board 44 and the driving motor 42. The second accommodating chamber 52 is arranged at the position where the two handles of the handle 5 are connected, and an opening 53 is provided on the second accommodating chamber 52, and a control panel 45 is provided on the opening 53 ( Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the control panel 45 is electrically connected to the control board 44 provided in the second accommodating cavity 52, and the control board 44 is electrically connected to the driving motor 42 to control the driving motor 42. The control board 44 is a control board with functions such as timing, so as to control the driving motor 42 to work after the preset time is reached, thereby realizing fully automatic tea brewing. The control panel 45 is used for setting time and other functional operations. A charging port 46 for charging the battery 43 is provided on the second accommodating cavity 52, and the charging port 46 is electrically connected to the control board 44.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a lower limit switch 47 is provided at the lower end of the first accommodating chamber 51, and the lower limit switch 47 is electrically connected to the control board 44. A through hole is provided on the fixing seat 53 for the output shaft of the driving motor 42 to pass through, and an upper limit switch 48 is provided at the lower end of the fixing seat, and the upper limit switch 48 is electrically connected to the control board 44.

[0025] The handle 5 close to the cup body 1 also serves as a fixed end and is fixed to the cup body 1. The fixation can be achieved by means of a metal clamp or adhesive, and the other handle is used as a handle for picking up the tea cup. The handle is solid, and the surface of the fixed end opposite to the cup body 1 is an arc surface, which is adapted to the curvature of the outer wall of the cup body 1.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner tea cup 2 is a hollow circular cup body with one end open and the other end sealed, a water outlet 21 is arranged at the bottom, a circle of outwardly extending support 22 is arranged at the upper opening, and a protrusion 61 adapted to the support 22 is arranged at the lower end of the cup cover 6.

[0027] like Figure 7 As shown, the cross section of the sealing ring 31 is I-shaped, and a groove 311 is provided on its outer wall. An upper portion 315 and a lower portion 316 are formed at the upper and lower ends of the groove 311 respectively. The sealing ring 31 is clamped in the water outlet 21 through the groove 311. The upper portion 315 is located in the tea brewing inner cup 2, and the lower portion 316 is located outside the bottom of the tea brewing inner cup 2. The through hole of the sealing ring 31 is composed of a first through hole 312 and a second through hole 313 with different diameters. The diameter of the first through hole 312 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 313. The first through hole 312 and the second through hole 313 are arranged from top to bottom. A funnel-shaped transition hole 314 is provided at the connection between the first through hole 312 and the second through hole 313. When the blocking valve 32 is placed in the first through hole 312, the blocking valve 32 blocks the transition hole 314.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the filter screen 22 is a cover structure, the opening of the filter screen 22 faces downward and covers the water outlet 21. The sealing ring 31, the blocking valve 32, and the magnetic body 33 are arranged in the filter screen 22. A bendable fixing claw 221 is arranged on the opening edge of the filter screen 22. The filter screen 22 is inserted between the upper part 315 and the edge of the water outlet 21 through the fixing claw 221 to fix the filter screen 22 in the tea brewing inner cup 2. Specifically, the fixing claw 221 is bent toward the center of the filter screen 22 and then inserted between the upper part 315 and the edge of the water outlet 21. There are 3 to 8 fixing claws 221, and the fixing claws 221 of the filter screen 22 can also be replaced by an inner folding edge (not shown in the figure). When installing, the magnetic body 33 and the blocking valve 32 are first installed in the filter screen 22, and then the upper part 315 of the sealing ring 31 is squeezed into the inner folding edge of the filter screen 22 by extrusion, and then the lower part 316 is passed through the water outlet 21 and fixed.

[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, the blocking valve 32 is a sphere, the magnetic body 33 is annular, preferably a magnet, and the magnetic body 33 is fixed on the blocking valve 32; when the blocking valve 32 blocks the second through hole 313, the lower end surface of the sphere is completely in contact with the hole wall of the transition hole 314, so that water cannot flow away.

[0030] The method of using the tea brewing cup of the present invention and the working process of separating tea and water are as follows: (1) Prepare to brew tea: Take the cup cover 6 off the cup body 1, and then take out the inner cup 2. At this time, the blocking valve 32 in the inner cup 2 is in a normal position, that is, the blocking valve 32 and the transition hole 314 on the sealing ring 31 are in a sealed state. At this time, put an appropriate amount of tea leaves in the inner cup 2, and put the inner cup 2 back into the cup body 1.

[0031] (2) Start brewing tea: Select the type of tea using the function buttons on the control panel 45, set the brewing time, then pour an appropriate amount of boiling water into the inner cup 2 for brewing tea, and put the cup cover 6 back on the upper opening of the cup body 1. At this time, the tea leaves in the inner cup 2 for brewing tea have been soaked in the boiling water. Finally, press the "start" button to start the brewing timer.

[0032] (3) Automatic separation of tea leaves and tea water: When the set tea brewing time is reached, that is, when the concentration of the tea water for brewing reaches the required concentration, the control board 44 will control the drive motor 42 to start rotating. The rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor 42 drives the slider 41 to move downward, and the magnet 34 on the slider 41 also moves downward with the slider 41. When the lower end surface of the slider 41 touches the lower limit switch 47, the control board receives the signal that the lower limit switch 47 is closed, and the control board 44 controls the drive motor 42 to stop rotating, and the slider 41 stops at this position. At this time, the position of the magnet 34 corresponds to the position of the magnetic body 33 in the filter screen 22, that is, the position where the upper surfaces of the magnet 34 and the magnetic body 33 attract each other due to magnetic force. At this time, the magnetic body 33 on the blocking valve 32 is pulled up due to the magnetic force of mutual attraction, and one side of the circumferential edge of the magnetic body 33 abuts against the upper surface of the upper part 315 of the sealing ring 31, so that the blocking valve 32 partially leaves the transition hole 314. At this time, a gap is formed between the transition hole 314 and the blocking valve 32, so that the tea already brewed in the tea brewing inner cup 2 passes through the filter screen 22 and passes through the gap. The tea in the tea brewing cup 2 flows into the cup body 1 through the second through hole 313 until all the tea in the tea brewing cup 2 flows into the cup body 1. (Here, the control board 44 can be set to control the time for the drive motor to stay at the position of the lower limit switch 47 according to the time required for the tea to flow). Then, the control board 44 controls the drive motor 42 to start rotating and drives the slider 41 to move upward. When the upper end surface of the slider 41 touches the upper limit switch 48, the control board 44 receives a signal that the upper limit switch 48 is closed, and the control board 44 controls the drive motor 42 to stop rotating. The slider 41 stops at this position. At this time, the magnet 34 is far away from the magnetic body 33 in the filter screen 22, that is, the magnet 34 and the magnetic body 33 lose the force of attraction to each other due to the long distance. In this way, the blocking valve 32 on the magnetic body 33 loses the force of attraction to each other and falls downward into the transition hole 314 under the action of gravity. The transition hole 314 is sealed by the blocking valve 32. In this way, if it is necessary to brew tea again, the bottom of the inner cup 2 is sealed, and the tea will not leak into the cup body 1 during the brewing of tea.

[0033] (4) Manual control of the process of separating tea leaves from tea water: If the brewing time is not set or the brewing time has not yet been reached, the brewed tea needs to be put into the cup body 1. At this time, the user can press the "tea and water separation" function button on the control panel 45, and the control panel 44 will control the drive motor 42 to start rotating. The subsequent process is the same as the aforementioned tea and water separation process and will not be repeated here.

[0034] The present invention separates the tea in the tea brewing cup by setting a magnetic blocking component and a driving component, simplifies the water leakage structure, simplifies the structure of the tea brewing cup, and automatically completes the function of putting the tea in the tea brewing cup into the cup body by setting a control panel to control the driving motor, and can also accurately set the tea brewing time and accurately control the tea brewing concentration, so that users can enjoy the fun of tea brewing. It has a simple structure, is novel and convenient to use, and is beautiful and practical.
