[0044] The utility model provides an automatic water adding device, which includes: a coupler assembly 10; a lower water inlet assembly 20, which is arranged in the coupler assembly 10; a mounting bracket 30, which is arranged below the coupler assembly 10, and a receiving space is provided between the mounting bracket 30 and the coupler assembly 10; a pressure sensor 40, which is arranged in the receiving space and is used to detect the pressure applied to the coupler assembly 10 and output a pressure signal.

[0045] Specifically, an automatic water adding device of the present application is installed on a tea tray and used, and the kettle is placed on the coupler assembly 10. At this time, the bottom of the kettle is connected to the lower water inlet assembly 20; the pressure sensor 40 detects the amount of water in the kettle. When the amount of water in the kettle is insufficient, the control device of the tea tray will control the lower water inlet assembly 20 to supply water according to the pressure signal. When the water volume reaches the predetermined capacity, the control device of the tea tray will control the lower water inlet assembly 20 to stop supplying water according to the current pressure signal, thereby realizing automatic water adding.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the present application adds a pressure sensor 40 in the accommodation space between the mounting bracket 30 and the coupler assembly 10, and uses the pressure sensor 40 to detect the pressure applied to the coupler assembly 10 and output a pressure signal. The pressure signal is fed back to the control device of the tea tray so that the tea tray controls the lower water inlet assembly 20 to supply water to the kettle from the bottom of the kettle according to the pressure signal.

[0047] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the automatic water adding device on the tea tray, this embodiment designs the coupler assembly 10 as a whole piece, specifically, the coupler assembly 10 includes a coupler 110, a coupling bracket 120 and an auxiliary bracket 130, the coupler 110 is provided with a fixing hole, the coupling bracket 120 is provided with a positioning hole, and the auxiliary bracket 130 is provided with a first bolt 131; the auxiliary bracket 130 is arranged below the coupling bracket 120, and the first bolt 131 passes through the positioning hole and is threadedly connected to the fixing hole, so that the coupler 110 is connected and fixed with the coupling bracket 120 and the auxiliary bracket 130, so that the coupler 110, the coupling bracket 120 and the auxiliary bracket 130 can be installed as a whole piece for subsequent installation in the tea tray.

[0048] Furthermore, the upper side of the auxiliary bracket 130 is provided with a fixing column 132 extending upward, and the fixing column 132 is sleeved outside the first bolt 131. The upper end of the fixing column 132 is against the lower side of the coupling bracket 120. In this embodiment, the first bolt 131 is received in the fixing column 132, and the first bolt 131 is protected. At the same time, the position of the coupling bracket 120 located around the positioning hole is offset by the fixing column 132, and the coupling bracket 120 is supported and supported, thereby determining the positions of the coupler 110, the coupling bracket 120 and the auxiliary bracket 130.

[0049] Furthermore, the coupling bracket 120 has a downwardly extending mounting post 121 on its underside, with a first mounting hole defined at its lower end. The coupler assembly 10 also includes a bottom bracket 140 disposed below the auxiliary bracket 130. The bottom bracket 140 has a second mounting hole and a second bolt 141 defined thereon. The second bolt 141 passes through the first mounting hole and is threadedly connected to the second mounting hole. Furthermore, the pressure sensor 40 is disposed on the underside of the bottom bracket 140. To prevent interference between the pressure sensor 40 and the first bolt 131 of the auxiliary bracket 130 due to insufficient installation space during installation, this embodiment utilizes the bottom bracket 140 below the auxiliary bracket 130 for mounting and securing the pressure sensor 40, effectively utilizing the space on the underside of the bottom bracket 140. Preferably, the detection center of the pressure sensor 40 is coaxial with the center of the coupler 110 to improve detection accuracy.

[0050] In another embodiment, the pressure sensor 40 may also be disposed on the upper side of the mounting bracket 30 .

[0051] Furthermore, the edges of the auxiliary bracket 130 and the bottom bracket 140 are provided with upward flanges. Once the lower water inlet component leaks or drips, a small amount of leaked water can be loaded to prevent the leaking water from contacting the pressure sensor 40 and affecting the detection effect.

[0052] Furthermore, the bottom bracket 140 is provided with a limiting hole; the lower side of the auxiliary bracket 130 is provided with a limiting column 133 extending downward. Before the bottom bracket 140 and the coupling bracket 120 are installed, the limiting column 133 is inserted into the limiting hole. With the help of the limiting cooperation between the limiting column 133 and the limiting hole, the position of the bottom bracket 140 relative to the coupling bracket 120 is pre-determined for subsequent installation and positioning.

[0053] In one embodiment, the lower water inlet assembly 20 includes a water inlet pipe 210, a mounting member 220 and a spring 230, the water inlet pipe 210 is provided with a tightening portion 211 protruding outward, the mounting member 220 and the spring 230 are sleeved outside the water inlet pipe 210 and located above the tightening portion 211; when the water inlet pipe 210 is connected to the coupler 110, the upper end of the spring 230 is against the mounting member 220, and the lower end of the spring 230 is against the upper side surface of the water inlet pipe mounting portion 111 of the coupler 110, so that the tightening portion 211 is against the lower side surface of the water inlet pipe mounting portion 111, thereby realizing the installation of the water inlet pipe 210.

[0054] Specifically, the water inlet pipe 210 is provided with a positioning portion protruding outward; the mounting member 220 is provided with a mounting groove, and the mounting groove includes a vertical section and a horizontal section; during the installation of the water inlet pipe 210, by pressing down the mounting member 220 and compressing the spring 230, the positioning portion moves upward relatively in the vertical section to the horizontal section position, and then by rotating the mounting member 220, the positioning portion enters the horizontal section and the pressing down of the mounting member 220 is stopped. At this time, the mounting member 220 has a tendency to pop up upward under the elastic force of the spring 230 and is restricted by the positioning portion, thereby cooperating with the tightening portion 211 against the lower side of the water inlet pipe mounting portion 111 to realize the installation of the water inlet pipe 210.

[0055] In one embodiment, the pressure sensor 40 is connected to the underside of the coupler assembly 10 via a third bolt. The mounting bracket 30 has a sunken portion 310 with an upwardly projecting boss 311. The boss 311 corresponds to the detection point of the pressure sensor, so that the detection point can determine the pressure applied to the coupler assembly 10 by the degree of contact with the boss 311. The design of the sunken portion also allows for the head of the bolt used to secure the pressure sensor 40 to be positioned, effectively utilizing space.

[0056] It should be noted that if the weight pressure of the kettle on the coupler assembly 10 changes, the contact degree between the detection protrusion and the boss 311 will change accordingly.

[0057] The present invention also provides a tea tray, which includes: a tea tray body 50, which is provided with a mounting position 510, and the mounting position 510 is provided with a mounting connection portion 530; the automatic water adding device as described above is arranged at the mounting position 510, and the mounting bracket 30 is connected and fixed to the mounting connection portion 530, so that the position of the mounting bracket can be relatively fixed, so that the detection process of the pressure sensor is more accurate.

[0058] During actual use, water will inevitably accumulate on the upper side of the tea tray body. In one embodiment, the tea tray further includes a water retaining member 520 provided at the mounting position 510. The water retaining member 520 is provided higher than the upper side of the tea tray body 50. The water retaining member is used to block the accumulated water on the upper side of the tea tray body to prevent it from flowing into the tea tray body.

[0059] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above description, those skilled in the art may also make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and any modifications and variations of the present invention should also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
