Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea bar machines, in particular to a hot water anti-dripping structure for a quick-heating tea bar machine. Background Art

[0002] A tea bar machine is an upgrade of a traditional water dispenser, with more abundant functions and more convenient and safe to use. When using a tea bar machine, only need to place the kettle on the heating tabletop, then start the water inlet pipe to fill the kettle with water, and start the heater to heat it after filling. However, in actual use, splashing of water will occur both when adding water and boiling water, resulting in water often spilling on the tabletop of the tea machine, which not only affects the use experience and reduces customer satisfaction, but also the spilled water may invade the circuit and cause safety accidents such as short circuit or electric leakage.

[0003] In this regard, a Chinese patent (Patent Publication No.: CN 221044769 U) discloses a hot water anti-dripping structure for a quick-heating tea bar machine, which uses a detachable water storage box installed in an annular groove to collect the spilled water.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned prior art has the following problems when the water storage box is arranged around the heating tabletop in actual production:

[0005] 1. The water storage box with an open mouth on the tabletop is not only unbeautiful, but also easily allows mosquitoes, moths, etc. to fall into it and drown or climb onto the tabletop again, causing pollution, greatly affecting the use experience and reducing satisfaction;

[0006] 2. If the water in the water storage box overflows, it will soak the entire heating tabletop, posing a great safety hazard. Content of the Utility Model

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems in the above background art and provide a hot water anti-dripping structure for a quick-heating tea bar machine.

[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0009] The utility model provides a hot water anti-dripping structure for a quick-heating tea bar machine, including

[0010] a tea bar machine main body,

[0011] The heating tabletop is installed in the upper half of the main body of the tea bar machine. There is a heating area on the heating tabletop. An annular baffle with a "7"-shaped cross-section is provided on the circumferential side of the heating tabletop. The upper edge part of the annular baffle is located directly above the heating tabletop. An annular drainage opening is formed between the upper edge part of the annular baffle and the heating tabletop for receiving the water dripping from the heating tabletop. An annular curtain is provided in the annular drainage opening. An annular drainage channel is opened under the annular drainage opening. A water guide plate is provided in the annular drainage channel for guiding the flowing water to one side for unified discharge;

[0012] The water storage box groove is arranged in the lower half of the main body of the tea bar machine. A water storage box is arranged in the water storage box groove for collecting the water flowing out of the annular drainage channel. The water storage box is movably connected to the water storage box groove through an automatic ejection mechanism. A liquid level sensor and a main switch disconnection mechanism are provided on the water storage box;

[0013] The control panel is electrically connected to the liquid level sensor and the automatic ejection mechanism.

[0014] Further, the automatic ejection mechanism includes,

[0015] A spring, the right end of the spring is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the water storage box groove, and the left end of the spring abuts against the water storage box;

[0016] The electromagnet main body is fixed on the right side wall of the water storage box groove;

[0017] A suction plate used in cooperation with the electromagnet main body, and the suction plate is fixedly connected to the water storage box through a connecting rod;

[0018] The electromagnet main body is electrically connected to the control panel.

[0019] Further, the main switch disconnection mechanism includes,

[0020] An extension part arranged on the suction plate, and a conductive plug rod is fixed on the extension part;

[0021] A socket in plug-in fit with the conductive plug rod, and two elastically conductive shunts that are disconnected from each other are arranged in the socket.

[0022] Further, the water guide plate is inclined.

[0023] Further, the heating area is horizontally arranged, and the heating tabletop outside the heating area is in a slope shape with the middle high and the periphery low.

[0024] Further, the heating area is arranged above the annular drainage opening.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0026] 1. By setting the annular baffle and annular curtain in a "7"-shaped structure, the design of a directly horizontally open drain outlet can be avoided. This not only makes the drain outlet more concealed in the present utility model, improving the aesthetic degree, but also the vertical opening can as much as possible prevent mosquitoes, moths, etc. from directly falling into the water storage box and drowning to cause pollution. Even if individual mosquitoes, etc. fall into the drain channel, under the action of the annular curtain, it can still prevent them from climbing onto the heating tabletop again, ensuring a good user experience.

[0027] 2. By arranging the water storage box at the bottom of the tea bar machine and combining it with the use of a control panel, a liquid level sensor, an automatic ejection mechanism, and a main switch disconnection mechanism, the water in the water storage box will automatically pop out from the water storage box groove when it reaches a certain water level, prompting the user to pour water. At the same time, after the water storage box pops out, the main circuit of the tea bar machine is disconnected, making it unable to boil water and add water. Only after cleaning the water in the water storage box and resetting it can it continue to be used. This not only ensures that no water droplets will continue to be generated and drip from above when pouring the water in the water storage box, but also ensures that the situation of forgetting to put the water storage box back into the water storage box groove will not occur. At the same time, it prevents the water in the water storage box from overflowing and causing an electric leakage accident, greatly improving the use safety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] Embodiment

[0037] As Figures 1 to 5 shown

[0038] A hot water anti-dripping structure for a quick-brew tea machine, comprising

[0039] A tea machine main body 3, which is an existing technical device and will not be elaborated here too much.

[0040] A heating tabletop 2 with a slope structure of 5-10 degrees around. In order to separate the water storage box 21 and the heating tabletop 2, the heating tabletop 2 is installed in the upper half of the tea machine main body 3. The heating tabletop 2 at the right lower end of the water outlet of the water adding pipe 1 is the slope top. A horizontal heating area 21 is provided on the slope top. A circular baffle 22 with a cross-section in the shape of "7" is provided on the circumferential side of the heating tabletop 2. The upper edge part of the circular baffle 22 is parallel to and directly above the slope foot of the heating tabletop 2. And in order to prevent the water on the heating tabletop 2 from spreading into the heating area 21 and causing danger in use when there is a blockage, the vertical height of the heating area 21 at the slope top is 1-3 centimeters higher than the upper edge part of the circular baffle 22; through this solution, the accumulated water will overflow to the ground through the upper part of the circular baffle 22. As a misoperation prevention measure, it ensures the safety of the parts on the tea machine main body 3 as much as possible and prevents greater losses caused by electric leakage and scrapping due to water immersion.

[0041] The upper edge part of the annular baffle 22 and the heating tabletop 2 form an annular drain port 221 with a height of 1 cm, which is used to receive the water dripping from the heating tabletop 2. An annular baffle curtain 222 is arranged in the annular drain port 221. Specifically, the annular baffle curtain 222 is inclined inward and the upper end is fixed on the upper edge part of the annular baffle 22. Through this solution, the inclined inward setting not only enables the water droplets to flow down smoothly, but also makes it difficult for mosquitoes, moths, etc. that fall inside to climb out. An annular drainage channel 23 is opened below the annular drain port 221. Specifically, the annular drainage channel 23 is formed by the gap between the lower edge part of the annular baffle 22 and the wall of the tea bar machine. In order to prevent penetration, a waterproof film can be laid on the annular drainage channel 23. A water guide plate 24 that is inclined to the left as a whole is arranged in the annular drainage channel 23, which is used to guide the flowing water to the left more quickly for unified discharge.

[0042] A water storage box slot 5 is arranged in the lower half of the tea bar machine main body 3. A water storage box 51 is arranged in the water storage box slot 5, which is used to collect the water flowing out of the annular drainage channel 23. The water storage box 51 is movably connected with the water storage box slot 5 through an automatic ejection mechanism 52. A liquid level sensor 53 and a main switch disconnection mechanism 54 are arranged on the water storage box 51.

[0043] Specifically, the automatic ejection mechanism 52 includes a spring 521. The right end of the spring 521 is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the water storage box slot 5, and the left end of the spring 521 abuts against the water storage box 51. An electromagnet main body 523 is fixed on the right side wall of the water storage box slot 5. A suction plate 522 is used in cooperation with the electromagnet main body 523. The other end of the suction plate 522 is fixedly connected with the water storage box 51 through a connecting rod 524. The liquid level sensor 53 and the electromagnet main body 523 are electrically connected through a control panel 6.

[0044] Through this solution, when the electromagnet main body 523 is powered on, it firmly adsorbs the suction plate 522 together, and then firmly fixes the water storage box 51 in the water storage box slot 5. At this time, the spring 521 is in a compressed state and has a tendency to rebound. When the water level in the water storage box 51 reaches the specified water level, the liquid level sensor 53 converts the detection signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control panel 6. The control panel 6 then converts the electrical signal into a control instruction to disconnect the power supply current to the electromagnet main body 523. Then the electromagnet main body 523 loses magnetism, and after the magnetic force disappears, the elastic force of the spring 521 rebounding pushes out the water storage box 51 to remind the user to pour water.

[0045] Preferably, in order to prevent the instantaneous elastic force from being too large and causing the water to oscillate and spill out, the spring 521 can adopt a damping spring.

[0046] Similarly preferably, the automatic pop-up mechanism 52 can also achieve an equivalent use effect through an electric push rod structure. Specifically, it includes an electric push rod. One end of the electric push rod abuts against the right side wall of the water storage box 51, and the other end is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the water storage box groove 5. A control switch is connected to the electric push rod, and the control switch is electrically connected to the liquid level sensor 53 through the control panel 6. Through this solution, the electric push rod can also push out the water storage box 51 to remind the user to pour water.

[0047] Furthermore, the main switch disconnection mechanism 54 includes an extension part 541 provided on the suction plate 522, and a conductive plug rod 542 is fixed on the extension part 541; a slot 543 that is in plug-in fit with the conductive plug rod 542. Two elastic conductive shunts 544 that are disconnected from each other are provided in the slot 543. The two elastic conductive shunts 544 form a circuit break point on the main circuit of the tea bar machine, and current cannot smoothly transmit between the two elastic conductive shunts 544, so that the entire circuit is disconnected, and electrical appliances such as the water pump and the heater cannot operate normally. When the conductive plug rod 542 is inserted between the two elastic conductive shunts 544 and abuts against both of them, current can smoothly pass through, that is, normal use is restored.

[0048] Through this solution, it not only ensures that no more water droplets will be generated and dripped above when pouring the water in the water storage box, but also ensures that the situation where the water storage box is forgotten to be put back into the water storage box groove will not occur. At the same time, it prevents the water in the water storage box from overflowing and causing an electric leakage accident, greatly improving the use safety.

[0049] Similarly preferably, the main switch disconnection mechanism 54 can also use a switch gate and a sensor to achieve the same use effect. Specifically, the sensor is installed on the water storage box groove 5, the switch gate is connected to the main circuit, and is electrically connected to the sensor and the control panel 6. Through this solution, when the sensor detects that the water storage box 51 is taken out, the control panel 6 controls the switch gate to be disconnected, and the main circuit is disconnected. When the sensor detects that the water storage box is reset, the control panel 6 controls the switch gate to be closed, and the main circuit is closed to restore normal use.

[0050] The working mode of this device:

[0051] When in use, when the kettle is placed on the heating area 21 of the heating table 2, the main body 3 of the tea bar machine is started to add water or boil water. At this time, if there is any dripping water, the spilled dripping water falls on the sloping heating table 2, and rolls to the annular drain port 221 under the action of the slope, and falls into the annular drain channel 23, and then falls into the water storage box 51 in the water storage box groove 5 along the water guide plate 24 and the annular drain channel 23.

[0052] When the water in the water storage box 51 is full, the liquid level sensor 53 converts the detection signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control panel 6. The control panel 6 then converts the electrical signal into a control instruction to cut off the power supply current to the electromagnet main body 523. Subsequently, the electromagnet main body 523 loses magnetism. After the magnetic force disappears, the elastic force of the spring 521 rebounds to push out the water storage box 51, reminding the user to pour water. At the same time, the conductive insertion rod 542 is pulled out of the slot 543, and the entire tea bar machine is powered off and cannot be used normally. After cleaning and resetting the water storage box 51 and pushing it into the water storage box slot 5, the conductive insertion rod 542 is inserted into the slot 543, and the main circuit is connected to resume normal use.

[0053] The above-described embodiments merely represent the specific implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
