[0002] Tea, a beloved beverage with a long history and rich culture, is a traditional craft. However, brewing tea involves numerous steps and takes a long time, leading to the increasing adoption of tea brewing machines. These machines can shorten brewing time. Simply place a tea capsule into the machine, and a piercing mechanism inside the machine punctures the capsule's seal, allowing tea to enter and exit through a designated outlet at the bottom of the capsule.

[0003] However, the lifespan of tea makers is a significant concern. Existing tea makers typically use a straight-up-and-down piston structure to control the puncture mechanism's elevation and puncture of the tea capsule. While this approach is simple, friction between the piston and the guide rail accelerates wear and tear on the maker's internal components, shortening the machine's lifespan. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 7The present invention discloses a tea maker, comprising a tea maker body 100. The front of the tea maker body 100 is a tea receiving area 110. The user can place a teacup on the tea receiving area 110 and wait for the tea to flow out after brewing. The back of the tea maker body 100 is a water inlet area 120. Drinking water flows into the tea maker body 100 from the water inlet area 120. The tea maker body 100 is further provided with a tray 400, a puncturing mechanism 200 and a brewing mechanism 300. The tray 400, the puncturing mechanism 200 and the brewing mechanism 300 are connected to each other by a hose. The tray 400 is provided on the front of the tea maker body 100, and the puncturing mechanism 200 is provided above the tray 400; the puncturing mechanism 200 includes a motor 210, a connecting portion 230 and a pressing block 220, a pinhole 221 is provided at the bottom of the pressing block 220, and the tray is provided below the pressing block 220, one end of the connecting portion 230 is fixed to the motor 210, and the other end of the connecting portion 230 is rotatably connected to the top of the pressing block 220; the brewing mechanism 300 includes a water pump 310 and a heating device (not shown), and the brewing mechanism 300 is connected to the water inlet area 120 through a hose. Specifically, when making tea, drinking water is connected to the water inlet area 120 on the back of the tea maker body 100, and the drinking water flows into the water pump 310 along the hose inside the tea maker body 100. The water pump 310 pressurizes the drinking water, and the pressurized water then enters the heating device, which heats the water to a suitable temperature. At the same time, the puncturing mechanism 200 punctures the packaging on the tea capsule. The specific puncturing process is that the controller in the tea maker controls the motor 210 to rotate, and the rotation of the motor 210 drives the connecting part 230 to rotate. Swing. Since the connecting portion 230 and the pressing block 220 are in a rotational connection, the pressing block 220 will be displaced in the vertical direction as the connecting portion 230 swings, and the pinhole 221 below the pressing block 220 pierces the packaging of the tea capsule when it descends. The pressing block 220 is connected to the brewing mechanism 300, and hot water enters the pressing block 220 and flows into the tea capsule through the pinhole 221. After passing through the tea leaves in the tea capsule, it flows out from the tea outlet hole opened at the bottom of the tea capsule. The user can use a teacup to collect tea in the tea receiving area 110. In the present invention, the output shaft of the motor 210 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting part 230, and the top of the pressure block 220 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting part 230. When the motor 210 rotates, it drives the connecting part 230 to swing. When the connecting part 230 swings, it drives the pressure block 220 to swing, thereby driving the pressure block 220 to rise and fall. Compared with the existing tea maker's lifting method of the piston going up and down, this solution changes the linear motion into rotational motion, and the structure is more stable. At the same time, it can reduce the wear rate of parts and is easy to maintain.

[0037] The motor 210 is preferably a claw-pole permanent magnet synchronous motor.

[0038] Further, such as Figure 3-5As shown, the tea maker further includes a fixing bracket 240 disposed on the upper portion of the tea maker body 100. The fixing bracket 240 is connected to the tea maker body 100 using fasteners, and the motor 210 is fixed to the fixing bracket 240 via fasteners. The fixing bracket 240 serves as a frame for fixing the puncture mechanism 200. The puncture mechanism 200 is installed in the tea maker by being fixed to the fixing bracket 240, facilitating installation and replacement of parts.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting portion 230 includes a first connecting block 231, a second connecting block 232 and a third connecting block 233. One end of the first connecting block 231 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 210, and a sliding groove 231a is provided on the connecting block 231. One end of the second connecting block 232 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 231a of the first connecting block 231, and the third connecting block 233 is rotatably connected to the other end of the second connecting block 232 and the top of the pressing block 220.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, further, the second connecting block 232 has an L-shaped structure, so that the second connecting block 232 is constructed to be rotatably connected to the first extension section 232a of the first connecting block 231 and to be rotatably connected to the second extension section 232b of the third connecting block 233.

[0041] In addition, a fixing hole 241 is provided on the fixing bracket 240 , and the bending portion of the L-shaped second connecting block 232 is rotatably connected to the fixing hole 241 via a fixing shaft.

[0042] The above-mentioned fixed bracket 240 and connecting portion 230 play the following role: when the output shaft of the motor 210 rotates slowly counterclockwise, the first connecting block 231 is pressed down, driving the L-shaped second connecting block 232 to rotate, the first extension section 232a of the second connecting block 232 is lifted, and the second extension section 232b is driven to rotate clockwise, pulling the third connecting block 233 to rise in the vertical direction, thereby lifting the pressing block 220. When the output shaft of the motor 210 rotates slowly clockwise, the first connecting block 231 rises, lifting the first extension section 232a of the second connecting block 232, causing the second extension section 232b of the second connecting block 232 to rotate counterclockwise, driving the third connecting block 233 to rotate, and at the same time, the third connecting block 233 drops slightly, thereby pressing the pressing block 220 downward, thereby causing the needle hole 221 under the pressing block 220 to pierce the packaging of the tea capsule. The cooperation between the motor 210 and the connecting portion 230 is used to make the pressing block 220 rise and fall by rotating the connection. The second extension section 232b of the second connecting block 232 moves slightly in the vertical direction when rotating. This process drives the third connecting block 233 to move up and down, and then drives the pressing block 220 to move up and down. The pressing block 220 is controlled by the rotation connection to puncture the packaging of the tea capsule. This structure is more stable. Compared with the traditional piston lifting method, this structure avoids the friction caused by the lifting of parts, and the design of the motor 210 and the connecting rod mechanism can be more easily adjusted to adapt to tea capsules of different sizes or different puncture force requirements.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the brewing mechanism 300 further includes an air pump 320. The air pump 320 is provided with an air pump fixing member 321, which is secured to the tea maker body 100 via fasteners. Specifically, the air pump 320 is connected to a flexible tube within the tea maker body 100 via a Y-shaped tee. The air pump 320 is used to remove residual moisture from the hose. One end of the Y-shaped tee is connected to the water pipe, the other end is connected to the air pump 320, and the remaining end is naturally open. After brewing is complete, the air pump 320 is activated, blowing compressed air into the water pipe through a branch in the Y-shaped tee structure, thereby blowing out any remaining moisture and preventing bacterial growth caused by moisture retention.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a water inlet end 150 is further provided on the water inlet area 120. The water inlet end 150 is equipped with an interface matching the caliber of the hose. The water inlet end 150 and the external water source are connected through the hose (the hose is placed in the bucket). When the tea maker is started, the water pump 310 draws the drinking water in the bucket from the water inlet end 150 to make tea.

[0045] The tea maker also includes a water tank 140, which is fixed to the back of the tea maker body 100. The bottom of the water tank 140 is connected to the water inlet 150. Specifically, the water tank 140 has a water storage function. Users can fill the water tank 140 with drinking water, which enters the tea maker through the water inlet 150 at the bottom of the water tank 140. There is no need to connect an external water bucket, which is suitable for users who want to move the tea maker to other places to make tea.

[0046] The water inlet end 150 also includes a method of connecting to an external water source: in order to facilitate the user to plug the hose into the water inlet end 150 at the bottom of the water tank 140, in this embodiment, a handle 151 is provided at the water inlet end 150, and the height of the handle 151 extends to the opening of the water tank 140. When the user needs to plug the hose into the water inlet end 150, the user can open the cover of the water tank 140 and take out the handle 151 from the opening of the water tank 140. After plugging the hose into the handle 151, the handle can be put in and inserted into the water inlet end 150.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the tea receiving area 110 is provided with a base 130 for placing tea cups, and above the base 130 is a tray 400. When making tea, the user takes out the tray 400, puts tea capsules in the tray 400, and then pushes the tray 400 into the tea making machine. Furthermore, the pressing block 220 is located above the tray 400, and the pinhole 221 at the bottom of the pressing block 220 is facing the position where the tea capsules are placed in the tray 400.

[0048] When the tea maker of the present invention is in operation, the user first takes out the tray 400, puts in the tea capsule, and then pushes the tray 400, and then starts the tea maker; the water pump 310 of the tea maker is combined with the water inlet end 150 to draw water in, and the water is pressurized by the water pump 310 to form high-pressure water. In addition, the heating device in the tea maker boils the drinking water to the set temperature; at the same time, the motor 210 of the piercing mechanism 200 rotates clockwise to control the rotation of the first connecting block 231. When the first connecting block 231 rotates, it drives the first extension section 232a of the second connecting block 232 to rotate, and the first extension section 232a rotates. As the first extension 232a rises, the second extension 232b rotates accordingly, and the second extension 232b drops slightly vertically, driving the third connection block 233 to rotate and descend, forcing the pressing block 220 downward. The pinhole 221 in the pressing block 220 punctures the packaging of the tea capsule, which then engages the sealed portion of the tea capsule. Water flows in through the pinhole 221, and the tea flows out of the tea outlet at the bottom of the tea capsule. The user can place a teacup on the base 130 to receive the tea. The present invention utilizes a rotational connection between the motor 210 and the pressing block 220, enabling the motor 210's rotational motion to be smoothly converted into the up and down motion of the pressing block 220. This improves the stability and accuracy of the tea brewing process. Compared to conventional piston-type control methods for raising and lowering the pressing block 220, the rotational connection reduces component wear, thereby extending the service life of the device.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
