Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea brewing equipment, in particular to an electric heating tea set with water discharging from the top. Background Art

[0002] Traditional tea sets often feature separate tea bowls and teacups, making them cumbersome to use and prone to spilling tea. With the advent of design innovation, electric tea sets with integrated bowls and heating elements have emerged. While this has improved the overall aesthetics and convenience of these products, it has also introduced some inconveniences.

[0003] Since the electric tea set has an integrated electric heating component, there are certain technical difficulties in combining it with the traditional water outlet structure, which limits the water outlet function of the tea bowl. In addition, since the electric heating component is integrated in the tea bowl, the water outlet button often becomes hot due to the hot water flowing through it, which brings operational inconvenience and safety hazards to users. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to propose an electric tea set with water discharging from the top, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] An electric tea set with water discharging from the top includes an outer shell, an electric heating cover cup and a teacup. The electric heating cover cup is fixedly arranged on the upper part of the outer shell. A teacup compartment is provided in the outer shell. A drainage channel is provided at the bottom of the tea bowl of the electric heating cover cup extending toward the teacup compartment. A water stop is provided in the drainage channel. The outer shell includes an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder. An installation compartment is provided between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder. An upper assembly for lifting the water stop is provided in the installation compartment. The upper assembly includes

[0006] A switch member, the middle portion of which is hinged to the outer cylinder, with a pressing portion and a movable portion provided at both ends, the pressing portion extending into the interior of the teacup compartment;

[0007] a transmission rod, one end of which is hinged to the movable portion;

[0008] An upper support bracket is hinged to the side of the transmission rod away from the switch member and is provided with a column for lifting the above-mentioned water stop member.

[0009] In this technical solution, a teacup is placed in the cup compartment, with the bottom of the cup contacting and pressing the pressing portion of the switch, causing the movable portion to tilt upward. This movable portion then drives the transmission rod upward, causing the upper bracket to move upward as well. The upper bracket's upright post lifts the water stop in the drainage channel, allowing the tea in the cup to flow out. This process is convenient and eliminates the need for human contact with the switch, eliminating the risk of burns and improving user comfort and safety.

[0010] As a further improvement, the upper support assembly includes at least two groups of switch members and transmission rods, and the two groups of transmission rods are hinged to the upper support bracket.

[0011] In this technical solution, the purpose of setting up multiple sets of switch parts and transmission rods is to improve the overall stability and reliability of the upper jacking assembly, and to avoid the single transmission structure causing the upper jacking bracket to deviate, resulting in the inability to lift the water stop.

[0012] As a further improvement, the upper support includes at least one cross bar, the cross bar is provided with a connecting rod for hingedly connecting the transmission rod, and the above-mentioned column is provided upward from the middle of the cross bar.

[0013] In this technical solution, the cross bar increases the stability of the upper bracket and provides better support. The connecting rod set on the cross bar can be hinged with multiple transmission rods, so that the multiple transmission rods can work synchronously and improve the coordination of the overall structure.

[0014] As a further improvement, the connecting rod abuts against the inner wall or outer wall of the installation chamber.

[0015] In this technical solution, the purpose of the connecting rod abutting the side wall of the installation chamber is to prevent the upper bracket from shifting in position during the up and down movement. Through the abutment, the upper bracket can also be made more stable during the movement.

[0016] As a further improvement, the cross section of the above-mentioned column is cross-shaped.

[0017] In this technical solution, the purpose of the cross-shaped cross section of the column is to avoid the column blocking the water outlet when the water stop is lifted up, and at the same time to expand the water outlet so that the tea can flow out more smoothly.

[0018] As a further improvement, the height of the middle portion of the crossbar is lower than the heights of the two sides.

[0019] In this technical solution, the tea soup will inevitably touch the horizontal bar when flowing down. The middle part of the horizontal bar is set lower to make the water flow concentrated in the middle and avoid flowing into the installation chamber along the horizontal bar.

[0020] As a further improvement, the angle between the pressing portion and the movable portion is 90° to 180°.

[0021] As a further improvement, a receiving cavity is provided at the bottom of the outer cylinder, and the pressing portion is arranged in the receiving cavity and hinged to the side wall of the receiving cavity.

[0022] In this technical solution, the purpose of providing the accommodating cavity is that when the teacup is placed in and the pressing part is pressed down, the pressing part can be accommodated in the accommodating cavity, so that the teacup can be stably placed in the teacup compartment.

[0023] As a further improvement, a recess is provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder at a position corresponding to the accommodating cavity.

[0024] In this technical solution, the purpose of providing the clearance groove is to expand the rotation space of the switch member.

[0025] As a further improvement, the water stop member is a silicone ball movably arranged inside the drainage channel.

[0026] In this technical solution, the water stop uses silicone balls with good elasticity and sealing properties, which can effectively control the flow of tea. At the same time, the silicone material is resistant to high temperatures and is environmentally friendly and safe. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] In order to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the structure of the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the following embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0040] In the description of the present invention, the terms "part", "side", "end", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present application provides an electric tea set with water outlet from the top, comprising an outer shell 1, an electric cover cup 2 and a teacup 3. The electric cover cup 2 is fixedly arranged on the upper part of the outer shell 1, a teacup compartment 12 is arranged in the outer shell 1, and a drainage channel 21 is arranged at the bottom of the tea bowl 23 of the electric cover cup 2 extending toward the teacup compartment 12, and a water stop 22 is arranged in the drainage channel 21.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2-Figure 3 The electric heating cup 2 includes a tea bowl 23 and an electric heating assembly disposed at the bottom of the tea bowl 23. The electric heating assembly further includes a panel 24, a heating element 25, and a bottom box 26. The bottom box 26 and the panel 24 interlock to form the housing of the electric heating assembly, and the heating element 25 is installed within the housing. The panel 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the tea bowl 23 using, but not limited to, conventional thermally conductive adhesive. The tea bowl 23 may be made of, but not limited to, glass or ceramic.

[0043] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the heating element 25 is a heating coil, with its ends electrically connected to a control circuit board (not shown) via wires. The panel 24 is made of metal. When the heating coil is energized, it heats the panel 24, thereby heating the water in the tea bowl 23. The heating coil and its control circuit board are both prior art and will not be described in detail here. Alternatively, the heating element 25 may be an electromagnetic coil, with its ends electrically connected to a control circuit board (not shown) via wires. The panel 24 is made of metal. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, it generates a magnetic field, causing the panel 24 to heat, thereby heating the water in the tea bowl 23. The electromagnetic coil and its control circuit board are both prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the housing 1 comprises an outer body 1a and an inner body 1b. The inner body 1b is removably mounted on the inner side of the outer body 1a, with the sides interlocking. An installation compartment 12 is located between the outer and inner bodies 1a, 1b. This compartment houses an upper support assembly for supporting the water stop 22. The removable inner body 1b also facilitates installation and subsequent maintenance of the upper support assembly.

[0045] Combine Figure 4 Regarding the upper assembly, it specifically includes a switch member 41, a transmission rod 42, and an upper bracket 43. The middle part of the switch member 41 is hinged to the outer cylinder 1a, and a pressing part 411 and a movable part 412 are respectively provided at both ends. The pressing part 411 extends into the interior of the teacup compartment 12. The movable part 412 is hinged to one end of the transmission rod 42, and the other end of the transmission rod 42 is hinged to the upper bracket 43. The upper bracket 43 is provided with a column 431 for lifting the water stop member 22. A drainage channel 21 is provided at the bottom of the tea bowl 23, connecting the interior of the tea bowl 23 and the teacup compartment 12. The above-mentioned water stop member 22 is provided in the drainage channel 21. Preferably, the water stop member 22 is a silicone ball movably provided in the drainage channel 21. It falls by its own gravity to block the water outlet. When the column 431 lifts the silicone ball, it separates it from the water outlet, and the tea in the tea bowl 23 flows out.

[0046] Under normal circumstances, the movable rod is pressed downward due to the gravity of the transmission rod 42 and the multiple components themselves. At this time, the pressing portion 411 is tilted upward. By placing the teacup 3 in the teacup compartment 12, the bottom of the teacup 3 contacts and presses the pressing portion 411 of the switch 41, and the movable portion 412 is tilted upward due to the force. The movable portion 412 drives the transmission rod 42 to move upward, causing the upper bracket 43 to move upward as well. The column 431 of the upper bracket 43 lifts the water stop 22 in the drainage channel 21, allowing the tea in the tea bowl 23 to flow out. This process is convenient to operate. Simply place the teacup 3 in the teacup compartment 12, and the weight of the teacup 3 will press down the switch 41, allowing the tea to flow out, without the need for additional manual operation. This structure not only improves the convenience of use and reduces the complexity of user operation, but also makes the entire tea brewing process more smooth and elegant.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, the upper support 43 includes a crossbar 432, with downwardly extending connecting rods 433 integrally disposed on either side of the crossbar 432. The tail ends of the connecting rods 433 are each hingedly connected to a transmission rod 42. Two pivoting rods, each distal to the upper support 43, are hingedly connected to the movable portion 412 of the switch member 41. In this embodiment, two sets of transmission rods 42 and switch members 41 are provided, installed on either side of the teacup compartment 12. This improves the overall stability and reliability of the upper support assembly and prevents the upper support 43 from shifting upward due to a single transmission structure, which could result in failure to lift the water stop 22.

[0048] Furthermore, the cross section of the column 431 is cross-shaped, which prevents the column 431 from blocking the water outlet when the water stop member 22 is lifted up, and at the same time expands the water outlet range, allowing the tea to flow out more smoothly.

[0049] It should be pointed out that the number of cross bars 432 of the upper bracket 43 can be multiple, distributed in the shape of umbrella ribs, and a connecting rod 433 is provided at the end of each cross bar 432. Each connecting rod 433 is hinged to the transmission rod 42 and the switch part 41. The provision of multiple cross bars 432 and transmission structures can further improve the stability of the upper assembly and make the movement smoother.

[0050] In addition, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting rod 433 abuts against the inner side wall of the installation chamber 12, which can prevent the upper bracket 43 from shifting during the upward and downward movement. The abutment also makes the movement of the upper bracket 43 more stable. Of course, the connecting rod 433 can also contact the outer side wall or be embedded between the inner and outer walls to achieve the same effect.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the middle height of the cross bar 432 is lower than the height on both sides. When the water stop 22 is lifted up and the tea soup flows down, it will inevitably contact the cross bar 432. The cross bar 432 set low in the middle can prevent the water from flowing out to both sides along the cross bar 432, or even flowing into the installation chamber 12, resulting in tea stains remaining, which is difficult to clean and even affects the hinge structure of the upper top component.

[0052] The angle between the pressing portion 411 and the movable portion 412 of the switch member 41 is 90° to 180°. Figure 2-Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment shown, the angle between the pressing portion 411 and the movable portion 412 is 90°, which saves rotation space and makes the overall structure compact. A circular hole for hinge is provided in the middle of the pressing portion 411, and another circular hole for hinged transmission rod 42 is provided in the movable portion 412.

[0053] For further reference, see Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the switch member 41 before being pressed and Figure 3 The diagram shows the switch member 41 in a depressed position. The bottom of the outer cylinder 1a is provided with a receiving chamber 1a1. The pressing portion 411 of the switch member 41 is mounted within the receiving chamber 1a1 and hingedly connected to the sidewall of the chamber 1a1. When a teacup 3 is placed in the teacup compartment 12 and the pressing portion 411 is pressed downward, the movable end rises, and the pressing portion 411 is retracted into the receiving chamber 1a1, allowing the teacup 3 to rest securely. Correspondingly, a clearance groove 1b1 is provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder 1b at a position corresponding to the receiving chamber 1a1, providing more room for the switch member 41 to rotate.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
