Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea sets, and more specifically to a steaming and boiling integrated inner container and a teapot. Background Art
[0002] Boiling tea and steaming tea are two different methods of making tea. Boiling tea is to heat the tea leaves directly in water, and the substances in the tea leaves are precipitated by boiling water, while steaming tea is to heat the tea leaves with steam. The tea leaves are not in direct contact with water, and the steam heats the tea leaves and precipitates the substances inside. Boiling tea is suitable for tea leaves that can withstand long-term high-temperature boiling, such as old white tea, black tea, ripe Pu'er tea, etc., while steaming tea is more suitable for delicate and fragile tea leaves, such as green tea, yellow tea, etc.
[0003] At present, there are more and more teapots on the market that have the functions of both boiling tea and steaming tea. They are generally divided into two types. One is a pot with two independent inner pots, which are used for the functional scenarios of steaming tea and boiling tea respectively; the other is to add several parts to the original tea-boiling inner pot. When boiling tea, the additional parts need to be taken out and placed separately. When steaming tea is needed, the parts can be assembled on the original tea-boiling inner pot for use.
[0004] However, the existing teapots for boiling tea and steaming tea are designed for specific usage scenarios. When it is necessary to switch between boiling tea and steaming tea, it is necessary to replace the inner liner or add (reduce) spare parts to achieve this. This not only makes the operation cumbersome, but also the extra parts need to be stored separately, which is prone to damage or loss. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A steaming and cooking integrated inner pot comprises an inner pot, a flow guide tube is vertically arranged on the inner pot, a filter screen is axially slidably arranged on the flow guide tube, at least one support block is protruded from the inner peripheral wall of the inner pot, and a clearance gap corresponding to the support block is opened at the edge of the filter screen; when the filter screen is in a first angle state, the clearance gap is aligned with the support block, and the filter screen can pass through the support block and move to the bottom of the inner pot; when the filter screen is in a second angle state, the clearance gap is staggered with the support block, and the filter screen is attached to the top of the support block.
[0007] The utility model is further configured as follows: a through hole is opened in the middle of the filter screen, the filter screen is sleeved on the guide tube through the through hole and slides axially, the filter screen can be separated from the guide tube from the top of the guide tube, and after the filter screen is separated from the guide tube, the filter screen is rotated by a certain angle and then inserted into the guide tube again, thereby realizing the conversion of the filter screen between the first angle state and the second angle state.
[0008] The utility model is further configured as follows: the inner circumferential wall of the inner container and the filter screen are both circular, and the filter screen is coaxially arranged with the inner circumferential wall of the inner container, and the diameter of the filter screen is smaller than the diameter of the inner circumferential wall of the inner container.
[0009] The utility model is further configured as follows: the guide tube is columnar, the cross section of the guide tube is a centrally symmetrical figure and is non-circular, and the inner peripheral wall of the through hole is in contact with the peripheral side wall of the guide tube.
[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: a positioning tube is vertically arranged at the top of the filter screen and located at the through hole, the positioning tube is sleeved on the guide tube, and the inner peripheral wall of the positioning tube is in contact with the peripheral side wall of the guide tube.
[0011] The utility model is further configured as follows: an air inlet is provided on the bottom wall of the inner container, the flow guide tube is hollow and the bottom is connected to the air inlet, the top of the flow guide tube is closed, and an air outlet is provided on the surrounding side wall of the top of the flow guide tube.
[0012] In addition, the utility model also provides a teapot, comprising a teapot body, wherein the above-mentioned integrated steaming and cooking inner pot is arranged in the teapot body.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has at least the following advantages:
[0014] 1. When the filter is in a first angle state, the notch is aligned with the support block, and the filter passes through the support block and moves downward, so that the tea leaves can be placed at the bottom of the inner pot for brewing tea. When the filter is rotated to a second angle state, the notch is offset from the support block, and the filter fits on the top of the support block. The tea leaves can be placed on the filter for steaming tea. Through the structural coordination of the filter and the support block, the height of the filter inside the inner pot can be adjusted to meet different usage requirements of brewing tea or steaming tea. The operation is simple and convenient, and there is no need to add or remove any parts.
[0015] 2. The guide tube is set to a columnar shape with a central symmetric cross section so that the filter can be reinserted into the guide tube after rotating the angle. Setting it to a non-circular shape can lock the lateral angle of the filter and allow it to move only longitudinally, thereby improving the stability of the filter and preventing the filter from rotating by itself when the teapot is in use.
[0016] 3. By setting a positioning tube on the top of the filter, the contact area between the filter and the guide tube is increased, making the filter connection more stable and also making it easier for users to grab the filter. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0024] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0025] First embodiment:
[0026] A steaming and cooking integrated liner, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes an inner tank 1, a guide tube 2 is vertically arranged on the inner tank 1, a filter screen 3 is axially slidably arranged on the guide tube 2, at least one support block 4 is protruded from the inner peripheral wall of the inner tank 1, the support block 4 is located in the upper half of the inner tank 1, and a clearance gap 5 corresponding to the support block 4 is opened at the edge of the filter screen 3; when the filter screen 3 is in a first angle state, the clearance gap 5 is staggered with the support block 4, and the filter screen 3 is attached to the top of the support block 4; when the filter screen 3 is in a second angle state, the clearance gap 5 is aligned with the support block 4, and the filter screen 3 can pass through the support block 4 and move to the bottom of the inner tank 1.
[0027] The inner wall of the inner tank 1 and the filter 3 are both circular, and the filter 3 is coaxially arranged with the inner wall of the inner tank 1. The diameter of the filter 3 is smaller than the diameter of the inner wall of the inner tank 1. The diameter of the filter 3 and the diameter of the inner wall of the inner tank 1 are matched with each other to leave only an appropriate gap so that the filter 3 can be freely raised and lowered. The support block 4 of the inner tank 1 is obviously smaller than the diameter of the filter 3. Unless the filter 3 is rotated so that the notch 5 overlaps with the support block 4, the filter 3 cannot pass through the support block 4 and fall to the bottom of the inner tank 1.
[0028] A through hole is opened in the middle of the filter screen 3, and the filter screen 3 is sleeved on the guide tube 2 through the through hole and slides axially. The filter screen 3 can be separated from the guide tube 2 from the top of the guide tube 2. When the filter screen 3 is separated from the guide tube 2, the filter screen 3 is rotated by a certain angle and then inserted into the guide tube 2 again, thereby realizing the conversion of the filter screen 3 between the first angle state and the second angle state, that is, the notch 5 and the support block 4 are switched between staggered and aligned.
[0029] The guide tube 2 is columnar, and the cross-section of the guide tube 2 is a centrally symmetrical figure and is non-circular. The inner peripheral wall of the through hole is in contact with the peripheral side wall of the guide tube 2, and the shape of the through hole is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the guide tube 2. By setting the cross-section of the guide tube 2 as a centrally symmetrical figure, the through hole can still be aligned with the guide tube 2 and re-inserted into the guide tube 2 after the filter 3 rotates to a certain angle less than 360°. Setting it as a non-circular figure realizes the lateral angle locking of the filter 3 so that it can only move longitudinally, thereby preventing the filter 3 from rotating on the guide tube 2 when the teapot is in use, thereby improving the stability of the filter 3.
[0030] In this embodiment, the guide tube 2 is specifically configured to be an elliptical cylinder, and there are three support blocks 4. The three support blocks 4 are equidistantly arranged along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the inner tank 1. After the filter screen 3 is removed from the guide tube 2, it can be re-inserted into the guide tube 2 after rotating 180°. The filter screen 3 is aligned with the support block 4 at the first angle. When the filter screen 3 is rotated to the second angle, that is, after rotating 180°, the three support blocks 4 will be staggered with the clearance gap 5. Since the filter screen 3 and the guide tube 2 can only switch at a specific angle, the matching angle between the clearance gap 5 and the support block 4 is faster and more stable; the number and position of the support blocks 4 on the inner tank 1 can be set according to the specific shape of the guide tube 2.
[0031] A positioning tube 6 is vertically arranged at the top of the filter 3 and located at the through hole. The positioning tube 6 and the filter 3 are integrally formed. The positioning tube 6 is sleeved on the guide tube 2. The inner wall of the positioning tube 6 fits with the peripheral side wall of the guide tube 2. The positioning tube 6 increases the contact area between the filter 3 and the guide tube 2, making the connection of the filter 3 more stable. At the same time, the user can grab the filter 3 through the positioning tube 6, which is more convenient to operate.
[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the flow guide tube 2 is integrally formed with the inner bottom wall of the inner pot 1, an air inlet 7 is provided on the bottom wall of the inner pot 1, the flow guide tube 2 is hollow and the bottom is connected to the air inlet 7, the top of the flow guide tube 2 is closed, and an air outlet 8 is provided on the surrounding side wall of the top of the flow guide tube 2, so that steam will be sprayed out from the side wall of the flow guide tube 2 to heat the tea leaves instead of being sprayed out from the top, playing a guiding role and improving the steam utilization rate.
[0033] Water outlets 9 are provided around the bottom of the inner container 1. Water in the teapot can enter the inner container 1 from the water outlets 9 to make tea, and tea soup can also flow out from the water outlets 9 into the teapot.
[0034] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:
[0035] When the user needs to make tea, the filter 3 is rotated to the first angle state and then inserted into the guide tube 2. At this time, the gap 5 is aligned with the support block 4, and the filter 3 can pass through the support block 4 and slide along the guide tube 2 to the bottom of the inner pot 1. The tea leaves are placed on the filter 3, and the water enters the inner pot 1 and directly soaks the tea leaves to make tea;
[0036] When the user needs to switch to steaming tea, first remove the filter 3 from the guide tube 2, rotate the filter 3 180° to the second angle state, and then insert the filter 3 into the guide tube 2. At this time, the gap 5 is staggered with the support block 4, and the filter 3 cannot pass through the support block 4. The filter 3 is attached to the support block 4 to be suspended in the upper half of the inner pot 1. The tea leaves are placed on the filter 3, and water vapor is sprayed from the air outlet 8 of the guide tube 2 to heat the tea leaves for steaming. The tea soup drips downward from the filter 3 and flows out from the water outlet 9.
[0037] Second embodiment:
[0038] A teapot comprises a pot body, wherein the pot body is provided with the integrated steaming and boiling inner pot as described in the above embodiment, and the pot body can switch between steaming tea and boiling tea, thereby achieving dual purposes of steaming tea and boiling tea.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the design concept of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
