Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of a short-term patent filed with the Intellectual Property Department of Hong Kong on January 25, 2024, with the application number:

[0002] 32024085939.9 Technical Field

[0003] The utility model relates to the technical field of daily necessities, and particularly relates to a beverage brewing device with a safe drainage control function, which can prevent the user from being scalded by leakage when brewing beverages. Especially when there are children in the surrounding environment, it can improve the safety of the usage environment. The device can adopt a high-temperature resistant glass container to maintain the original uniqueness of the beverage and meet the requirements of beverage enthusiasts who pursue high quality. Background Art

[0004] Coffee and tea beverages are deeply loved by a wide range of consumers and have a long history, and there are also great differences in their quality and value. Recently, consumers have become more diverse in the way of brewing beverages. Therefore, people's requirements and expectations for brewing devices are getting higher and higher. Not only are they required to be convenient to use, but also because the brewing process of the brewing device is related to the user's preference for beverages. Therefore, different brewing methods need to be adopted for different raw materials to achieve the best extraction and maintain the original uniqueness of the beverage, such as color, aroma, and taste, rather than just the traditional brewing methods of making tea and coffee. One way to meet this demand currently is to use the same type of beverage brewing device containing a container, or the brewing device with safe drainage control mentioned below. The former type of device enables the user to use it conveniently without tilting the device to pour out the beverage.

[0005] There is still room for improvement in the above-mentioned same type of brewing device. In particular, it is necessary to solve the problem that the device is prone to leakage during the brewing process. For example, when accidentally touching the switch setting, boiling water can cause scalding. Even worse, if there are children nearby, they will also be injured, causing safety problems in the environment.

[0006] Currently, many containers of the same type of beverage brewers are made of plastic, which is actually not suitable for brewing hot drinks. Plastic containers will affect the original unique taste of the beverage. Especially when brewing light-flavored beverages, the change in the aroma and taste of the drink is more obvious. And at high temperatures, there is a chance that the chemicals in the plastic container will be released into the beverage, which goes against the current people's pursuit of a healthy lifestyle.

[0007] U820090272276A1 describes a beverage brewing device of the above type. There is a spherical plug in the lower end of the container part of this brewing device. The spherical plug lacks buoyancy, and its weight causes it to naturally descend and stay at the bottom for a long time, closing the drain opening at the lower end. The lower concave part of the container part is equipped with a slidable support element. The outer end of the support element sits on the cup and interacts with the edge (rim) of the cup top, and the inner end has an inward column. When the container descends onto the support element, the spherical plug is lifted by the inward column of the support element away from the drain opening, and the beverage flows out from the drain opening. The disadvantage of this product is that the operation is vulnerable to water leakage, such as the disturbance caused to the spherical plug when the device is operated by hand. Water leakage from the device is not only inconvenient, but also potentially dangerous to burn the user's body when storing hot beverages.

[0008] GB2476950B also describes a beverage brewing device with a gravity-biased plug or valve member, but its main difference is that the plug is directly connected to the support element. When the brewing device is removed from the cup, the support element and the plug descend under gravity to block the drain opening at the lower end. However, this arrangement is also equally prone to water leakage.

[0009] ZL201210457039.7 describes a tea brewing device, which is mainly a tea brewing device with a drain control valve having a gravity-biased plug. Its main part is also that a plug is directly connected to the support element and then inserted into the inner cavity of the container. In the original state when the tea brewing device is placed on the base or during tea brewing, the plug approaches the water outlet hole at the bottom of the container due to the gravity of the support element and the earth's gravitational attraction, and the tea brewing device stops draining. When the tea brewing device is placed on the cup mouth, the container drops and docks on the support element due to the earth's gravitational attraction, and the plug moves away from the water outlet hole, and the tea brewing device drains. The disadvantage of this structure is that the support element is heavy. Even with the angular row spacing limitation of the support, it only slightly improves the leakage of hot water caused by collision during movement. Summary of the Utility Model

[0044] The cross-section of each part of the drainage control element is a closed geometric shape. The drainage control element is provided with a card slot, a buffer part, and a liquid discharge part; the liquid discharge part is arranged at the narrow end of the drainage control element. Specifically, the inner side of the drainage control element can include two sections from top to bottom. The upper section is a vertical wall section, and the lower section is an inclined wall section; the vertical wall section encloses a ring. The card slot can be used to be clamped with the following filter element. The inclined wall section is arranged in a funnel shape, and the inner wall of the inclined wall section serves as the inner cavity wall of the drainage control element.

[0047] The cross-section of each part of the buffer part is a closed geometric shape, the buffer part is an elastic structure, and the buffer part is coaxially arranged at one end of the clamping groove and below the liquid discharge hole. Specifically, the buffer part can be deformed, and the inner cavity wall of the liquid discharge control element can be connected with the buffer part or the buffer part serves as the inner cavity wall of the liquid discharge control element, so that after the contact platform contacts the support element, the gravitational force can drive the buffer element and the inner cavity wall of the liquid discharge control element to deform, and the intercepting part of the plug is separated from the inner cavity wall of the liquid discharge control element.

[0048] The sealing ring, the sealing convex ring and the liquid discharge control element are accommodated in the inner wall of the liquid discharge end neck, the flange is coaxially connected with the liquid discharge control element, and the liquid discharge control element is fixed on the inner wall of the liquid discharge end.

[0049] As an implementation manner, the flange and the liquid discharge control element are integrally formed.

[0051] The liquid discharge part and the plug are coaxially connected. Due to the elastic structure of the buffer part, the intercepting part of the plug is closely attached to the inner cavity wall of the liquid discharge control element. At this time, the liquid discharge control element is in a state of stopping liquid discharge.

[0052] The cross-section of each part of the support element is a closed geometric shape;

[0053] The support element is provided with a contact ring and at least one hanging hook;

[0059] There are at least one filter holes on the horizontal plane of the surface of the filter element; and a handle is provided and connected to the horizontal plane of the surface of the filter element.

[0060] The vertical plane of the surface of the filter element is set as a clamping edge. That is, the outer peripheral surface of the filter element serves as the clamping edge.

[0061] The clamping edge is clamped with the clamping groove of the drainage control element, and the filter element filters the brewing materials in the liquid.

[0062] When receiving liquid, that is, when the device drains liquid, the brewing device is placed on the cup. The support element is horizontally placed on the cup mouth of the cup. The support element bears the weight of the device and the liquid. Due to the gravitational attraction, the device moves downward towards the support element. At the same time, the contact platform of the drainage control element approaches the support element. Specifically, the contact platform of the drainage control element can approach the contact ring of the support element. The liquid guiding port passes through the contact ring and the inner end hole of the support element, causing the buffer part of the drainage control element to be pressed. While the buffer part deforms under pressure, it moves upward against gravity and drives the drainage part upward, driving the plug away from the inner wall of the drainage control element, so that the drainage control element drains liquid.

[0063] The liquid on the inner wall of the container flows through the filtering part of the filter element. Most of the brewing materials in the liquid are filtered. The liquid then flows into the inner cavity of the drainage control element, enters the throat through the drainage holes of the drainage part, and finally flows into the cup from the liquid guiding port. When the brewing device is taken off the cup, the support element moves downward due to gravity, the contact ring moves away from the trigger platform of the drainage control element, the buffer part of the drainage control element returns to the original state where the device does not drain liquid due to the loss of pressure, and the elastic force of the drainage control element resets the drainage part. At the same time, it drives the plug to approach the inner cavity wall of the drainage control element until the intercepting part of the plug abuts against the inner cavity wall of the drainage control element, and the liquid stops flowing out. During the reset process of the buffer part, the drainage part gradually stops draining, and the flow rate decreases from large to zero.

The device further includes a support element 9, and the support element 9 is vertically snap-fitted to the hook 82 on the inner wall of the flange 8. The device further includes a handle 12, one end of the handle 12 is connected to the vertical surface of the outer wall of the container 2 and the other end is connected to the vertical surface of the outer wall of the positioning portion 4. The handle 12 is used for the user to lift the brewing device. The drainage control element 7 is arranged inside the brewing housing 14. The plug 6 is connected to the drainage control element 7. The plug 6 and the drainage control element 7 cooperate to form a structure capable of opening or blocking liquid drainage. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the container 2, the liquid discharge end 3, and the positioning portion 4 can also be separately provided instead of an integrated structure.

[0140] In the structure shown in the figure, there is no correlation between the support element 9 and the drainage control element 7, that is, there is no direct connection relationship between the support element 9 and the drainage control element 7.

[0141] In the structure shown in the figure, there is no correlation between the support element 9 and the plug 6, that is, there is no direct connection relationship between the support element 9 and the plug 6.

The cover edge 11 is arranged on the outer periphery of the cover body 1 and can specifically be formed by extending outward from the cover body 1. When the cover body 1 covers the container 2, the cover edge abuts against the upper edge of the container 2.

[0144] Figure 4 In the structure shown, a container 2 and an inner wall 21; the cross-section of each part of the container 2 is a closed geometric shape, and its geometric shape can be, for example, circular, oval, hemispherical, or polygonal, or other irregular shapes. It should be noted that in the present utility model, the cross-section refers to the section of the plane along the horizontal direction in the state where the component is placed horizontally.

[0145] Figure 5In the structure shown, there is a liquid discharge end 3, a neck 31 and a liquid discharge port 32; the cross-sections of the liquid discharge end are all closed geometric shapes; the neck 31 may refer to a portion of the liquid discharge end 3 with a smaller cross-sectional area than other regions. In this embodiment, the liquid discharge end 3 is a tapered structure with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area from top to bottom.

[0146] The discharge end 3 is relatively axially connected to the bottom of the container 2. Relative axial connection means that the two are located on the same axis, that is, the discharge end 3 and the bottom of the container 2 are coaxially arranged. Among them, the discharge end 3 is arranged to be integrally formed with the container 2. In other embodiments, the discharge end 3 and the container 2 can be independently arranged.

The middle part of the top surface of the positioning part 4 is hollow to form a middle hole 43.

[0148] The positioning part 4 can be arranged below the discharge end 3, and the middle hole 43 is connected to the discharge port 32 of the discharge end 3. The positioning part 4 is coaxially connected to the discharge end 3, that is, the positioning part 4 and the container 2 are coaxial. The positioning part 4 can be integrally formed with the discharge end 3.

[0149] The reverse edge 42 is an upwardly tilted edge structure around the positioning part 4, so that the bottom edge of the positioning part 4 forms a space for upward avoidance, thereby enabling the positioning part 4 to be placed on an uneven plane or object. For this reason, more types of liquid receiving vessels can be selected to improve the applicability of the device. In application, one or more reverse edges 42 can be provided without limitation.

Figure 7 The structure shown in FIG. 1 is collectively referred to as the brewing machine housing 14 in the first embodiment. Figure 7 In the structure of the illustrated embodiment, the container 2, the discharge end 3 and the positioning portion 4 are integrally formed.

[0151] Figure 8 In the structure shown, a filter element 5 and a handle 51 are connected to the top surface of the filter portion 53. Figure 8In the structure shown, the top surface of the filtering element 5 is a horizontal plane; in practical applications, the top surface of the handle 51 can also be set as an arc concave surface, an arc convex surface, etc., without limitation. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the filtering element 5 in the horizontal direction is a vertical surface, and this vertical surface is set as the clamping edge 52. The clamping edge 52 can be used to clamp the card slot 71 of the drain control element. In practical applications, the outer peripheral surface of the filtering element 5 in the horizontal direction can also be set as an arc surface.

[0152] Figure 9 In the structure shown, there is a plug 6, a cap 61, a cut-off portion 62 and a buckle 63. Among them, the outer periphery of the cap 61 serves as the cut-off portion 62; when the cut-off portion 62 abuts against the inner cavity wall 74 of the drain control element 7, the drain control element 7 is in a cut-off state. The buckle 63 and the cap 61 are formed coaxially. The buckle 63 can be engaged with the drain control element 7.

[0153] Figure 10 and Figure 11 In the structure shown, a sealing ring 10 and at least one sealing convex ring 101 are provided on the outer wall surface of the sealing ring 10, and the sealing convex ring 101 and the sealing ring 10 can be integrally formed. The sealing ring 10 is used for sealing and connecting the drain control element 7 and the liquid discharge end 3. The sealing convex ring 101 is accommodated between the inner wall of the neck of the liquid discharge end 3 and the outer wall of the sealing ring 10 to enhance the anti-leakage effect between the sealing ring 10 and the inner wall of the neck of the liquid discharge end 3.

[0154] Figure 12 and Figure 13 In the structure shown, the structure of a drain control element 7 and the liquid discharge portion 75 inside it; the liquid discharge portion 75 is a cylinder; the vertical surface of the cylinder is the outer wall, that is, the outer wall of the cylinder is a vertical surface, and the opposite side is the inner wall; the inner wall of the cylinder serves as the throat 753; on the inner wall at the top of one end of the cylinder in the anti-geocentric direction, there is a flange coaxially arranged with the cylinder and extending inward, and this flange is the buckle hole 755; the end of one end of the cylinder in the geocentric direction is the liquid guiding port 754; specifically, the outlet at the bottom of the throat 753 is the liquid guiding port 754. Among them, the anti-geocentric direction refers to the upward direction; the geocentric direction refers to the downward direction. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the liquid discharge portion 75 can also be set into other structural shapes; similarly, the outer shape of the inner wall of the supporting flange can also be set into different shapes.

[0155] The outer wall of the cylinder is reduced in material towards the inner wall to form a liquid discharge hole 751; a contact platform 752 extends coaxially outwards from a part of the outer wall of the cylinder along the direction towards the center of the earth; specifically, the contact platform 752 can be provided on the outer periphery of the throat 753. A part of the outer wall of the cylinder extends outwards along the direction opposite to the direction towards the center of the earth to form the inner cavity wall 74 of the discharge control element 7. The surface of the inner cavity wall 74 in the direction opposite to the direction towards the center of the earth is the inner cavity wall surface, and the opposite surface is the outer cavity wall surface of the inner cavity wall 74. In this embodiment, the throat 753 can extend towards the center of the earth, that is, extend downwards, to below the contact platform 752.

[0156] The inner wall that vertically extends in the direction opposite to the direction towards the center of the earth at one end of the outer cavity wall surface is a clamping groove 71; a part of the outer cavity wall surface is reduced in material towards the inner cavity wall to form a buffer part 73. The buffer part 73 is made of an elastic material and can deform upwards to move the plug 6 away from the inner cavity wall 74, so as to release the contact state between the inner cavity wall 74 and the intercepting part 62 of the plug 6, so that the liquid in the container 2 can flow into the liquid discharge hole 751, that is, the liquid discharge hole 751 can be used for the liquid to pass through.

[0157] As an implementation manner, the inner cavity wall 74 has a structure that can be pushed by the buffer part 73 to deform, so that the inner cavity wall 74 can deform to release the abutment with the intercepting part 62.

[0158] In another implementation manner, the buffer part 73 and the inner cavity wall 74 can be an integrally formed structure, that is, the inner wall of the buffer part 73 serves as the inner wall of the discharge control element 7.

[0159] It should be noted that in this application, the direction towards the center of the earth can be the direction in which the discharge control element 7 is vertically downward; the direction opposite to the direction towards the center of the earth can be the vertically upward direction. Therefore, after the outer cavity wall surface vertically extends upwards to form the clamping groove 71, the bottom of the outer cavity wall surface can be reduced in material upwards to form the above-mentioned buffer part 73.

[0160] Figure 14 and Figure 15 In the structure shown, the structure of a flange 8 is specifically: a cylindrical ring with a closed cross-section in each case; among the surfaces of the cylindrical ring, the vertical surface is the inner wall surface, and the opposite surface is the outer wall surface; that is, the inner wall surface of the flange 8 is a vertical surface, and the outer wall surface of the flange 8 can be a non-vertical surface. A part of the inner wall surface at one end of the cylindrical ring extending inwards towards the center of the earth forms a hook 82 at the edge formed; that is, a part of the inner wall surface at the lower end of the cylindrical ring bulges inwards to form a hook 82 bulging inwards. There are no less than one hook 82 provided on the cylindrical ring; on the outer wall surface of the cylindrical ring, the edge where a part of the outer wall surface extends outwards is a buckling edge 81; the cross-section of each part of the buckling edge 81 is a closed geometric shape; a depression is provided on the horizontal plane of the buckling edge 81.

[0161] Figure 16 and Figure 17In the structure shown, a drain control element 7 is coaxially connected to a flange 8, and a sealing ring 10 is provided with at least one sealing convex ring 101. The three can be integrally formed with food-grade silicone. In the first embodiment, Figure 16 and Figure 17 the structures in are referred to as the drain control valve 13. That is, the drain control valve 13 can include the drain control element 7, the flange 8, and the sealing ring 10. The card slots 71, the buffer portion 73, and the liquid discharge portion 75 included in the drain control valve 13 can be provided on the drain control element 7.

[0162] It should be noted that in actual applications, the beverage brewing device can only include the drain control element 7 and the flange 8, and the drain control element 7 and the liquid discharge end 3 can be hermetically connected by other existing sealing methods such as thread sealing. Moreover, in the drain control valve 13, the drain control element 7, the flange 8, and the sealing ring 10 can be made of the same material, and the drain control element 7, the flange 8, and the sealing ring 10 can be of an integrally formed structure, or they can be assembled after being provided as multiple components.

[0163] Figure 18 In the structure shown, the structure of a support element 9 is specifically as follows: In the plane of a ring, the vertical plane is the inner wall surface, and the opposite is the outer wall surface. That is, the inner wall surface of the ring is the vertical plane, and the outer wall surface can be a non-vertical plane. One end of the ring extending inward in the direction towards the earth's center forms an inner flange, and an inner end hole is provided on the inner flange, and the inner end hole and the ring are coaxial; the top surface of the inner flange is a horizontal plane; a ring structural member is connected to the inner end hole of the inner flange, and the outer peripheral side surface is a vertical plane, and this ring structural member is the contact ring 92. The contact ring 92 is provided on the horizontal plane of the surface of the support element 9 means that the contact ring 92 is provided in the horizontal plane of the support element 9, that is, the contact ring 92 is provided on the inner flange. The contact ring 92 is used to trigger the liquid discharge of the drain control element 7. Specifically, the contact ring 92 pushes the contact platform 752 upward to cause the buffer portion 73 to deform to achieve liquid discharge.

[0164] One end of the ring extending outward in the direction towards the earth's center forms an outer flange; the top surface of the outer flange is a horizontal plane, and the opposite surface is the bottom surface of the outer flange; the surfaces with the same bottom surface of the outer flange are all called the bottom of the outer flange. The bottom of the outer flange can horizontally contact the cup mouth of the liquid receiving vessel.

[0165] Part of the outer wall surface at the end of the ring in the direction opposite to the earth's center extends outward to form a hanging hook 91, and at least one hanging hook 91 is provided on the cylindrical ring. The hanging hook 91 can be buckled with the hook of the flange 8.

[0166] Specifically, after the support element 9 contacts the liquid receiving vessel, the contact platform 752 abuts against the contact ring 92. Due to the weight of the device and the liquid, the container 2 will move downward, causing the contact ring 92 to push the buffer portion 73 to deform through the contact platform 752.

[0167] Figure 19 In the structure shown, the buckle 61 of a plug 6 is buckled in the buckle hole 755 of the drain control valve 13; the intercepting part 62 abuts against the inner cavity wall 74 of the drain control valve 13. At this time, the drain control valve 13 is in the state of stopping liquid drainage.

[0168] Figure 20 In the structure shown, a drain control valve 13 is accommodated in the inner wall of the liquid discharge end 3 of the brewing machine housing 14; the buckle edge 81 of the drain control valve 13 is buckled in the middle hole 43 of the positioning part 4; the buckle 63 of a plug 6 is buckled in the buckle hole 755 of the drain control valve 13; the intercepting part 62 abuts against the inner cavity wall 74 of the drain control valve 13. At this time, the drain control valve 13 is in the state of stopping liquid drainage. In this state, the equipment can be filled with liquid and soaked.

[0169] Figure 21 In the structure shown, the buckle 63 of a plug 6 is buckled in the buckle hole 755 of the drain control valve 13, and the hanging hook 91 of a support element 9 is buckled in the hanging hook 82 of the flange 8. The intercepting part 62 abuts against the inner cavity wall 74 of the drain control valve 13. At this time, the drain control valve 13 is in the state of stopping liquid drainage; the contact ring 92 of the support element 9 is away from the contact platform 752 of the drain control valve 13, that is, the contact ring 92 does not contact the contact platform 752. At this time, the liquid discharge part 75 of the support element 9 and the drain control valve 13 are not connected to each other, and the plug 6 in the support element 9 and the drain control valve 13 are not connected to each other either.

[0170] That is, in this embodiment, the hanging hook 91 is located on the outer periphery of the support element 9 as an outward member, which can also be called an outer hanging hook; the hanging hook 82 is located on the inner wall of the flange 8 as an inward member, which can also be called an inner hanging hook; the hanging hook 91 and the hanging hook 82 are buckled with each other, so that the support element 9 is installed on the flange 8.

[0171] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned original state specifically refers to: when the brewing equipment does not perform brewing, it is on a horizontal tabletop; or, when the brewing equipment is performing brewing and does not drain liquid, it is in a state on a horizontal base surface.

[0172] After the brewing equipment is assembled, when the equipment is in the original state, the contact ring 92 of the support element 9 is away from the trigger platform 752, that is, the two do not contact each other, and the liquid drainage of the equipment stops.

[0173] The usage method of this embodiment can be:

[0174] Put brewing materials, such as tea leaves, and liquid into the inner cavity 21 of the container 2 for brewing; when receiving the liquid, place the support element 9 of the brewing equipment on the cup mouth, and the liquid is discharged and flows into the cup; after receiving the liquid, take the brewing equipment off the cup, and the brewing equipment returns to the original state and is placed on the base.

[0175] Other usage methods are not elaborated here one by one.

[0176] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
