[0025] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, a tea maker of this embodiment comprises: a tea maker main unit 11, a tea infuser 12 and a tea separator 13. The tea maker main unit 11 is provided with a supporting portion 111, and the tea infuser 12 is detachably mounted on the supporting portion 111. A water outlet 120 is provided at the bottom of the tea infuser 12, and the tea separator 13 is detachably mounted below the supporting portion 111. The tea separator 13 is used to receive tea flowing out of the water outlet 120. A sealing ball 121 capable of closing the water outlet 120 is provided on the water outlet 120. A chute 122 is provided at the bottom of the tea infuser 12, and a ball slidably connected to the sealing ball 122 is provided in the chute 122. The first adsorbent 123 is attracted to the water outlet 120 by the first adsorbent 123. When the first adsorbent 123 moves to a position close to the sealing ball 121, the first adsorbent 123 and the sealing ball 121 attract each other, causing the sealing ball 121 to deviate from the position closing the water outlet 120, thereby opening the water outlet 120. When the first adsorbent 123 moves to a position away from the sealing ball 121, the first adsorbent 123 cannot move the sealing ball 121, causing the sealing ball 121 to remain closed. The bottom or support portion 111 of the tea infuser 12 is provided with an actuating mechanism 14 for driving the first adsorbent 123 to move, thereby causing the sealing ball 121 to open the water outlet 120. The sealing ball 121 can be made of iron, and the first adsorbent 123 can be made of a magnet. The tea maker of the present invention drives the first adsorption member 123 to move in the slide groove 122 through the starting mechanism 14, and when the first adsorption member 123 moves to a position close to the sealing ball 121, the first adsorption member 123 and the sealing ball 121 attract each other, causing the sealing ball 121 to deviate from the position of closing the water outlet 120 and thus open the water outlet 120; the force of the mutual attraction between the first adsorption member 123 and the sealing ball 121 is used to drive the sealing ball 121 to deviate from the position of closing the water outlet 120 and thus open the water outlet 120. In this way, the starting mechanism will not come into contact with the tea, which is more hygienic; and no gaps will be generated, which can prevent hot water vapor from entering the interior of the machine, thereby improving safety and reliability and reducing costs.
[0027] The starting mechanism can be mounted on the bottom of the teapot 12 or on the support portion 111. In this embodiment, the starting mechanism 14 comprises a sliding block 141, a second adsorbing member 142, and a driving assembly 143. The sliding block 141 is slidably connected to the support portion 111, and the second adsorbing member 142 is disposed on the sliding block 141. The second adsorbing member 142 is located directly below the first adsorbing member 123 and can attract the first adsorbing member 123. When the second adsorbing member 142 moves back and forth with the sliding block 141, the second adsorbing member 142 can drive the first adsorbing member 123 to move back and forth within the chute 122. The second adsorbing member 142 can be made of a magnet. Through the mutual attraction between the first and second adsorbing members 142, when the second adsorbing member moves back and forth with the sliding block, the first adsorbing member 123 also moves within the chute 122, thereby driving the sealing ball to open the water outlet.
[0028] In this embodiment, a rack portion 1411 is provided on the sliding block 141, and the driving assembly 143 is a motor provided on the supporting portion 111. The rotating shaft of the motor is provided with a gear that meshes with the rack portion 1411. The motor drives the gear to rotate, thereby driving the sliding block to slide.
[0029] In this embodiment, a water outlet channel 1110 connected to the water outlet 120 is provided on the supporting portion 111 , and the teapot 13 is located directly below the water outlet channel 1110 .
[0030] To achieve the tea-brewing function of the tea maker, a lower coupler 1111 is provided on the support portion 111. A heating plate 124 is provided at the bottom of the tea maker 12. The heating plate 124 is connected to an upper coupler that can be coupled to the lower coupler 1111. The connection between the upper and lower couplers supplies power to the heating plate, thereby achieving the tea-brewing function.
[0031] To achieve automatic water filling, the tea maker main unit 11 is provided with an automatic water filling mechanism 15 for filling water into the teapot 12. The automatic water filling mechanism 15 comprises a water filling pipe 151 and a water pump 152. The water inlet of the water pump 152 is connected to a water source, and the outlet of the water pump 152 is connected to the water filling pipe 151. A water filling bracket 153 is rotatably connected to the tea maker main unit 11. The water filling pipe 151 is connected to the water filling bracket 153, and the water outlet end of the water filling pipe 151 is located directly above the teapot 12. Water is drawn from the water source by the water pump 152, flows through the water filling pipe 151, and then flows in and out of the teapot's pot mouth. The water filling bracket is rotatably connected to the tea maker main unit 11. When the teapot needs to be removed, the water filling bracket can be flipped up to remove the teapot, which is convenient for use.
[0032] To reduce the time required to brew or boil tea, an instantaneous heater 154 is connected in series between the water inlet pipe 151 and the outlet of the water pump 152. The instantaneous heater 154 is located in the tea maker main unit 11. Water is preheated by the instantaneous heater 154 before being poured into the teapot for brewing or boiling tea, which reduces the time it takes to boil the water.
[0033] In this embodiment, a positioning cavity 1200 for positioning the tea maker 12 is provided on the supporting portion 111. The tea maker can be placed more securely on the supporting portion.
[0034] In this embodiment, the tea maker main unit 11 is provided with a sensor 131 located at the position where the teapot 13 is placed, for detecting whether the teapot 13 is in place on the tea maker main unit 11. The sensor 131 is connected to a control circuit to prevent tea from flowing out of the water outlet when the teapot 13 is not in place, causing tea overflow.
[0035] In this embodiment, a conical sealing surface 1201 is provided on the water outlet 120 and can be sealed with the sealing ball 121, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0036] The above examples are merely used to further illustrate the technical content of the present invention for easier understanding by the reader. However, they do not limit the implementation of the present invention to these examples. Any technical extension or reinvention based on the present invention is protected by the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims.
