TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of tea making appliances used in the home or office, and in particular to a tea making machine.
[0002] At present, the tea making machine has a tea making pot arranged on the upper part of the base, and the tea is boiled or made in the tea making pot, and then the tea water is guided into the tea cup arranged on the lower part of the base through the water outlet at the bottom of the tea making pot.
[0003] The tea making machine usually has a water sealing mechanism arranged at the water outlet at the bottom of the tea making pot, such as a ball and a sealing ring, and when the tea water is not required to flow out, the ball can seal the sealing ring by itself, and a control component is arranged to control the ball to move away from the sealing ring when the tea water is required to flow out.
[0004] Since there are fine tea residues in the tea water and water scale in the water, the ball and the sealing ring are easily covered with the water scale or the fine tea residues, so that the ball cannot completely seal the sealing ring, and the tea water in the tea making pot often leaks from the water outlet. SUMMARY
[0005] The present invention aims to provide a tea making machine, which has a double sealing structure for the water outlet, and can open the two sealing structures by one operation, and has the characteristics of better sealing and simple and convenient operation.
[0006] The object of the present invention is achieved by the following solution: A tea making machine, which comprises a tea making pot arranged on the upper part of the base, a tea cup arranged on the lower part of the base, and a controllable water sealing assembly arranged in the middle frame of the base; wherein the bottom of the tea making pot is provided with a steel ball which is pressed downward by a spring, so that the steel ball seals the sealing ring of the water outlet; and the controllable water sealing assembly is composed of an upper joint and a lower joint; the upper and lower joints are provided with a water sealing plug and a water sealing ring, and the water outlet of the controllable water sealing assembly is sealed by the downward movement of the water sealing plug and the water sealing ring; the lower side of the upper joint is provided with a joint; the lower part of the water sealing plug is provided with a connecting hole; the middle shaft of a rocker is arranged at the joint; a shifting lever enters the connecting hole of the water sealing plug through the joint via the middle shaft of the rocker; the joint and the shifting lever are sealed by a sealing silica gel; and the controllable water sealing assembly is arranged below the sealing ring of the water outlet.
[0007] In this way, the steel ball and the sealing ring of the water outlet form a seal, the water sealing plug and the water sealing ring form a seal, and the water outlet is double sealed, so that the sealing performance of the tea making pot is more reliable.
[0008] In addition, when the tea maker discharges tea, the outer end of the lever is pressed down, the lever will be centered on the rocker shaft, the inner end will pry the water sealing plug, the water sealing plug will move up, the water sealing plug will separate from the water sealing ring to open the water outlet path of the controllable water sealing assembly, and the water sealing plug will move up to lift the steel ball, the steel ball will move away from the water sealing ring to open the water outlet path of the tea maker, thus the tea water can flow from the tea maker through the water sealing ring into the controllable water sealing assembly, and then flow out of the tea cup through the water sealing ring.
[0009] Preferably, in the above scheme, a support is arranged on the upper part of the water sealing plug, a through hole is formed in the center of the support, and a top rod of the water sealing plug extends upward from the through hole, which can guide the upward and downward movement of the top rod.
[0010] Preferably, in the above scheme, the water sealing plug has two connection holes, both of which are in the shape of a circular truncated cone and are symmetrically arranged in the water sealing plug and intersect each other at the bottom surface of the circular truncated cone.
[0011] Thus, the inner end of the lever can reach the intersection surface of the two connection holes and partially enter the opposite connection hole, and when the lever is initially prying, the inner end of the lever has multiple contact points with the near-end connection hole, and as the water sealing plug moves up, the contact points are constantly reduced, but the contact points between the inner end of the lever and the far-end connection hole are constantly increased, which can ensure that the water sealing plug has enough supporting force when prying and the force is upward without deviation.
[0012] The tea maker of the present application has double regulation of the water outlet path of the tea maker and the water sealing plug of the controllable water sealing assembly, which can effectively improve the sealing performance of the tea maker and ensure that the tea water does not easily leak when the tea maker is on standby.
[0013] The tea maker of the present application only needs to press down the lever to open the water outlet path of the tea maker and the water outlet path of the controllable water sealing assembly, that is, two water outlet paths can be opened at the same time by one action, so it is very convenient to use.
[0014] The tea maker uses the lever to cooperate with the water sealing plug through the conical hole, so that the lever is tilted upward and has multiple contact points with the water sealing plug, and the subsequent upward or downward prying can make the water sealing plug bear force evenly and as vertically as possible, so that the sealing effect of the two seals is better.
[0015] In addition, the tea maker uses the sealing silica gel to close the interface and the lever, especially the closed lever, which has better effect, not only good sealing performance, but also can adapt to the constant change of the lever angle during operation, and has the characteristics of long-lasting durability.
[0016] In the tea making machine, when the tea making pot discharges tea, the lever system pries the water sealing plug in a lever way to realize upward movement, so that the operation is more labor-saving.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The specific embodiments of the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings: EMBODIMENT
[0019] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The tea making machine of the embodiment includes a tea making pot 1 on the upper part of the base 4, a tea cup 3 on the lower part of the base 4, and a controllable water sealing assembly 2 installed on the frame 41 of the base 4. The bottom of the tea making pot 1 is provided with a water outlet head 14, the upper part of the water outlet head 14 is sealed by an upper sealing ring 11, the lower part of the water outlet head 14 is sealed by a lower sealing ring 15, the water outlet head 14 is provided with a spring 12 and a steel ball 13, the steel ball 13 is pressed by the spring 12 to move downward, and the steel ball 13 seals the lower sealing ring 15. The controllable water sealing assembly 2 is composed of an upper joint 21 and a lower joint 22. The upper and lower joints 21 and 22 are provided with a water sealing plug 23 and a water sealing ring 24. The water sealing plug 23 includes a top rod 23a and a column 23b. The upper joint 21 is provided with a support 21c, and the center of the support 21c is provided with a through hole 21d. The top rod 23a of the water sealing plug 23 can extend upward through the through hole 21d. A spring 25 is sleeved on the top rod 23a, one end of the spring 25 is located at the column 23b, and the other end of the spring 25 is pressed against the through hole 21d of the support 21c. The spring 25 presses the water sealing plug 23 downward, the water sealing plug 23 moves downward, and the column 23b seals the water sealing ring 24, thereby closing the water outlet path of the controllable water sealing assembly 2. The lower part of the water sealing plug 23 is provided with two symmetrical taper-type connection holes 23e. The upper joint 21 is provided with an interface 21a on the lower side. A rocker shaft 27 is installed at the interface 21a. A lever 28 enters the proximal connection hole 23e of the water sealing plug 23 through the interface 21a and the rocker shaft 27, and partially enters the distal connection hole 23e of the other end through the proximal connection hole 23e. A sealing silica gel part 29 seals the interface 21a and the lever 28, so that water cannot flow out of the gap. The controllable water sealing assembly 2 is located below the lower sealing ring 15.
[0020] In this way, when the outer end of the lever 28 is pressed down, the lever 28 will move upward around the rocker shaft 27, pry the water sealing plug 23 through the inner end, overcome the action of the spring 25, move the water sealing plug 23 upward, separate the water sealing plug 23 from the water sealing ring 24, open the water outlet path of the controllable water sealing assembly 2, lift the steel ball 13 upward, and move the steel ball 13 away from the lower sealing ring 15, thereby opening the water outlet path of the tea making pot 1. Thus, the tea water can flow from the tea making pot 1 through the lower sealing ring 15 into the controllable water sealing assembly 2, and then flow out of the controllable water sealing assembly 2 through the water sealing ring 24 and into the tea cup 3.
[0021] In addition, when the outer end of the lever 28 is released, the spring 25 will press the water sealing plug 23 downward, the water sealing plug 23 seals the water sealing ring 24, and the inner end of the lever 28 moves downward, so that the outer end of the lever 28 moves upward and returns to the original position. At the same time, the water sealing plug 23 no longer presses the steel ball 13, the steel ball 13 moves downward and seals the lower sealing ring 15. Embodiment
[0022] The difference between the tea maker of the present embodiment and the tea maker of the first embodiment is only the spring 25. In the first embodiment, the spring 25 is a compression spring. In the second embodiment, the spring 25 is a tension spring, one end of which is fixed at the outer end of the lever 28 and the other end is fixed on the frame 41 of the base 4.
[0023] Thus, when the outer end of the lever 28 is pressed down, the external force will overcome the elastic force of the tension spring 25 to lift the inner end of the lever 28, pry the water sealing plug 23 to move up, separate the water sealing plug 23 from the water sealing ring 24 to open the passage of the water connector, at the same time, the water sealing plug 23 moves up to lift the steel ball 13, let the steel ball 13 leave the lower water outlet sealing ring 15, open the water outlet passage of the tea maker 1, thus, the tea water can flow from the tea maker 1 through the lower water outlet sealing ring 15 into the controllable water sealing assembly 2, and flow out from the controllable water sealing assembly 2 through the water sealing ring 24 to the tea cup 3.
[0024] In addition, when the external force is released, the tension spring 25 will make the inner end of the lever 28 move down, drive the water sealing plug 23 to block the water sealing ring 24, and drive the outer end of the lever 28 to move up to reset, at the same time, the water sealing plug 23 no longer pushes the steel ball 13, so that the steel ball 13 moves down and blocks the lower water outlet sealing ring 15.
[0025] The other parts can refer to the first embodiment.
