At the same time, since the through hole at the bottom of the filter cup is equipped with a filter nozzle, the filter ball in the filter nozzle will not be affected by the magnet under the action of the magnetic separation plate, so that it blocks the filter hole at the bottom of the filter nozzle under the action of gravity, and the tea water will not flow into the kettle body below. Until after soaking for enough time, the user drives the magnetic separation plate to move through the control mechanism, moves the magnetic separation plate that was originally between the connection line of the filter ball and the magnet, and the filter ball will be adsorbed by the magnet and move towards the magnet, so that the magnet presses against the inner wall of the filter nozzle and exposes the filter hole at the bottom, and the soaked tea water can flow into the kettle body below through the filter hole.

[0031] For the described teapot, the edge of the open top of the filter cup 3 bends outward and can be placed on the edge of the open top of the kettle body 1, which can not only improve the placement stability but also be conveniently removed for cleaning. The described filter nozzle can be set in the middle of the bottom of the filter cup, as Figure 3 shown, or can be set on one side of the bottom of the filter cup, as Figure 4 shown; in addition, the filter nozzle 5 is detachably installed at the bottom of the filter cup 3 to further improve the cleanability, and they can be specifically connected by means of snap fasteners, threads, etc.; or as Figure 5 、 6 shown, the filter nozzle 5 includes a filter cover 52 arranged above the through hole of the filter cup 3, a connecting ring 53 arranged at the through hole, and a filter nozzle device 54 arranged below the through hole. The upper and lower ends of the connecting ring are respectively detachably connected to the filter cover and the filter nozzle device; at the same time, the filter hole 51 is arranged at the bottom of the filter nozzle device 54, and the filter ball 6 is placed in the filter nozzle device; the filter nozzle of this structure has high connection stability and is very easy to disassemble, clean and install. Also, the connecting ring 53 and the filter cover 52, the filter nozzle device 54 can be connected by interference fit or can be fixed by screwing to meet the use requirements; and a filter screen 55 can be installed on the top of the filter cover 52 or filter water holes can be provided to further improve the filtering effect and prevent tea leaves from entering the filter nozzle and blocking the filter ball. In addition, the bottom of the filter nozzle device 54 is an arc extending downward from the center, and the filter hole 51 is arranged at the center of the arc, so that the filter ball can better block the filter hole under its own weight and can also leave a larger gap when the magnet adsorbs the filter ball, so as to quickly drain the tea water.

[0032] For the described teapot, a handle 2 is installed on the kettle body 1, and the control box 7 can be set on the outside of the kettle body 1, or as Figures 1-4 shown, the control box 7 is set at the bottom of the handle 2 near the kettle body 1, integrating the control box with the handle, which can simplify the structure and improve the aesthetics. The described control mechanism can drive the magnetic separation plate to move linearly or a rotating lever, and one end of the lever passes through the control box, and the control box is correspondingly provided with a slot for the lever to move; or, the control mechanism can be as Figures 7-9As shown in the figure, it includes a control rod 11 and a spring 12. The control rod is arranged above the magnet 8. The magnetic isolation plate 9 is fixedly installed on the control rod. The spring is connected to the control rod and applies an upward elastic force to it. In addition, a kettle lid 4 that can cover the filter cup 3 is installed on the teapot. A hinge end 41 is provided on the side of the kettle lid 4, and the hinge end is hinged to the handle 2. The top of the control rod passes through the control box 7 and the handle and extends below the hinge end and abuts against the hinge end. When the kettle lid is opened, the magnetic isolation plate is located on the side of the magnet to block the magnet from adsorbing the filter ball. At this time, when tea leaves and water are put in, the water will not flow away. Moreover, the hinge end can drive the magnetic isolation plate 9 away from the magnet 8 as the kettle lid closes and presses down the control rod. When the kettle lid closes, the control rod drives the magnetic isolation plate to move away, and the filter ball is adsorbed by the magnet to open the filter holes, allowing the tea water to flow into the kettle body. The control mechanism of this structure is simple, works stably, and the operation is convenient and fast. The magnetic isolation plate can be made of materials such as copper plate, template, nickel, or cobalt.
