Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of daily necessities, in particular to a foldable tea tray for storing tea. Background Art

[0002] In China, the art of tea making is a long-standing folk custom. Tea sets come in a wide variety, including teacups, teapots, tea trays, and tea strainers. A tea tray is typically a basin-shaped structure with a detachable tray placed on top. Teacups and other tea sets are placed on the tray. During the tea-making process, the tea-stained wastewater generated by the tray flows from the tray to the basin-shaped structure below. After use, the remaining tea-stained wastewater can be discarded and cleaned. While traditional tea trays are convenient to use, placing tea sets directly on the tray can take up space. To address these technical issues, a foldable tea tray has been developed, such as the utility model patent application number 2004200650459. The tray includes a basin-shaped base, a tray with a drain hole placed on the base, and an upper cover hingedly connected to the edge of the base. The upper cover is the same size as the base and has a concave center. During use, the upper cover is opened and placed on a tabletop along with the base. The upper cover can accommodate teacups, teapots, and other tea sets.

[0003] However, when the tea tray is in use, the tea waste can only fall into the base, and the space in the base is small, and the upper cover does not have the function of holding the tea waste, so the space for the entire tea tray to hold the tea waste is small. During use, the tea waste needs to be cleaned frequently, which is more troublesome to use. The tray is only set on the base. When used, if tea utensils such as cups are placed on the upper cover, the upper cover cannot filter the tea utensils, making it difficult for the tea utensils to dry when placed, thereby reducing the space for placing the tea utensils.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor of this case conducted in-depth research on the problem, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content

[0022] A foldable tea tray, embodiment 1, as Figure 1As shown, it includes a base body and a tray 1, the tray 1 is provided with a water leakage hole 100, and the tray 1 is placed on the base body; the base body has two bases 2 arranged horizontally and flatly, and the two bases 2 are hollow shells surrounded by a bottom plate and a side plate, and the side plates opposite to the two bases 2 are opposite side plates, and the top surfaces of the two opposite side plates are lower than the top surface of the base body, and the two bases 2 are hinged together in a way that the two opposite side plates can be arranged vertically relative to each other and relative to each other up and down; specifically, taking the base 2 as a square structure as an example, the base 2 is a hollow square shell surrounded by three side plates 21, a bottom plate 22 and an opposite side plate 23, and the side plates closely connected to the opposite side plates are hinged side plates. The two adjacent hinged side panels on the same side of the two base bodies are hinged together by hinges. The waterproof hinges are side folding hinges, that is, there are two side folding hinges, and the two sides of the side folding hinges are correspondingly locked to the two adjacent intersecting side panels on the same side. The hinged connection of the two opposing side panels 23 by the waterproof hinge is a well-known technology and will not be described in detail here. When in use, one base is flipped toward the other base, and the two bases can be closed under the action of the waterproof hinge. At this time, the side panels on the two bases are respectively arranged in an upper and lower stack, and the opposing side panels 23 are arranged in an upper and lower relative position. The hollow chambers of the two bases are arranged in a relative position, and the two bases are formed into a box body capable of storing tea sets. Moreover, the use of the side folding hinges can also make the two opposing side panels relatively fit together.

[0023] The two opposing side plates 23 are provided with a connecting structure connecting the two bases 2, and the two opposing side plates 23 are located at the connecting structure. A sealing structure for the connection between the sealing connection structure and the opposing side plates 23 is provided; specifically, the top surfaces of the two opposing side plates 23 are concavely provided with a connecting groove 300 that is connected to each other, and the two connecting grooves 300 constitute the above-mentioned connecting structure, and there is a movable spacing 200 between the two opposing side plates 23. The above-mentioned sealing structure is a sealing member that seals the movable spacing 200, and the sealing member is a sealing strip 3, which has an upper sealing portion 31 and a side sealing portion 32. The upper sealing portion 31 and the side sealing portion 32 are both horizontally arranged strip structures, and the upper sealing portion 31 is on the top surfaces of the two opposing side plates 23. The side sealing portion 32 has two sealing plates that are relatively spaced apart. The upper sealing portion 31 is clamped on the upper portion of the two sealing plates, and the two opposing side plates 23 are clamped between the lower portions of the two sealing plates, that is, the two sealing plates and the upper sealing portion 31 The bottom surface of the upper sealing portion 31 is located at the position of the communicating groove and is provided with a sealing block embedded in the communicating groove, and the top surface of the upper sealing portion is provided with a communicating groove connecting the hollow chambers of the two bases. That is, the shape of the communicating groove can be an arc groove, a rectangular groove or other shapes, and the shape of the sealing block matches the communicating groove. When used, when the two bases 2 are placed horizontally, the two opposite side plates 23 are correspondingly embedded in the sealed space of the sealing strip 3 and the sealing block is embedded in the communicating groove. Tea waste water falls from the leakage hole 100 into the hollow chamber of one base 2, and the tea waste water will flow from the communicating groove to the hollow chamber of the other base 2. Through the communicating groove, the tea waste water can flow freely between the two bases, thereby increasing the space for the base to accommodate tea waste water. At the same time, the sealing strip 3 is sealed with the two opposite side plates 23 to prevent the tea waste water from seeping out from between the two bases during the circulation process. When folding and storing, the sealing strips 3 are removed from the opposite side panels 23, and the two bases can be turned over freely to close into a box body.

[0024] The tray 1 is a foldable tray that can be folded together and unfolded into a flat structure, and a supporting structure for supporting the tray 1 is installed in the base 2. Specifically, the foldable tray has two plates, the formation of the plates matches the shape of the hollow cavity of the base, and the size of the plates is smaller than the size of the hollow cavity of the base 2. The plates are provided with the above-mentioned leakage holes 100. The two plates are suspended and placed flat in the hollow cavities of the two bases 2 and placed horizontally and closely together. The opposite ends of the two plates are hinged together by a waterproof hinge. The two plates are folded together and unfolded by the waterproof hinge. The method of flat unfolding is a well-known technology and will not be elaborated here. The base 2 is provided with upright columns 4 on the inner side walls of the two opposite side panels 21. The top surface of the upright columns 4 is flush with the top surfaces of the two opposite side panels 23. The plate frame is placed on the top surface of the upright columns 4, and each upright column 4 is the above-mentioned supporting structure; when in use, the two plates are flatly unfolded and placed correspondingly on the top surfaces of the upright columns 4 in the base 2, thus completing the placement of the tray; when folding for storage, pick up the folding tray, flip one plate toward the other, and stack the two plates up and down and place them in the hollow cavity of the base.

[0025] The present invention relates to a foldable tea tray. When in use, the sealing strips 3 are correspondingly embedded in the two opposing side panels 23, and the foldable tray is stacked on top of the columns 4. Tea waste water falls into the base through the leak holes 100, and the tea waste water in the two bases can be connected to each other through the connecting structure. The sealing strips and the opposing side panels 23 are sealed together, making it difficult for tea waste water to leak out of the base. Moreover, the tea waste water can flow between the two bases 2 through the connecting grooves of the sealing strips, thereby increasing the space for storing tea waste water in the entire tea tray and reducing the frequency of cleaning tea waste water. The foldable tray is highly practical. In addition, the two plates of the foldable tray can filter water for the tea set placed thereon, which is beneficial for drying the tea set and thus increasing the space available for storing the tea set when in use. When folding and storing, the sealing strips are removed from the two opposing side panels, and the two plates are folded together. The two bases can be folded relative to each other into a box body under the action of the waterproof hinge. The tea set and the tray can be placed in the hollow cavity of the box body, making it convenient to store the tea tray.

[0026] The present invention is a foldable tea tray for storing tea, embodiment 2, which differs from embodiment 1 in the structure of the sealing member, specifically: the sealing member is a sealing film (not shown in the figure), the sealing film has a fitting portion and a hinge portion that are integrally formed, the fitting portion has two fitting strips that are respectively sealed and fitted on the bottom of the two communicating grooves and the top surfaces of the two opposite side panels, the hinge portion is between the two fitting strips, and the hinge portion is within the range of the movable spacing. When the two opposite side panels are arranged relative to each other, the spacing between the two opposite side panels is the above-mentioned movable spacing, and the dimension of the hinge portion in the width direction is larger than the movable spacing. The dimension of the movable spacing in the width direction ensures that the hinge part will not be too tight and damaged when the two bases rotate relative to each other; when in use, the tea waste water in one base flows from the connecting groove to the tea waste water in the other base. Since the sealing film seals the movable spacing between the two connecting grooves, the tea waste water will not seep out of the connecting groove, and when the two bases are folded, the sealing film can be flexibly folded along with the bases, so that the tea set can be flexibly stored; in addition, the tea waste water can also flow between the two bases from the top surfaces of the two opposite side plates, further increasing the use space of the tea waste water, with a simple structure and flexible use.

[0027] A new type of foldable tea tray, embodiment 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment lies in the structure of the sealing structure and the connecting structure. Specifically, the connecting structure is a telescopic tube (not shown in the figure) that can be extended and retracted. Preferably, the telescopic tube is a flexible rubber or plastic telescopic tube. Opposing surfaces of the two opposing side panels 23 are provided with mounting holes 400 that are arranged oppositely and connect the hollow chambers of the two bases 2. The mounting holes 400 form the connecting structure. The telescopic tube is embedded in the mounting holes 400. The ends of the telescopic tube are adhered to the inner sidewalls of the mounting holes 400 with waterproof adhesive. The waterproof adhesive forms the sealing structure. When in use, the telescopic tube folds back and returns to its original position, allowing tea waste water to flow through the hollow chamber of the telescopic tube and into the two bases. At the same time, the waterproof adhesive seals the ends of the telescopic tube with the two opposing side panels 23, preventing tea waste water from leaking out of the bases. When folded and stored, the telescopic tube stretches with the hinged movement of the two bases.

[0028] In the present invention, it is preferred that the bottom surfaces of the two opposite ends of the two plates are provided with mutually connected embedding grooves for the upper sealing portion to be embedded therein; when used, the provision of the embedding grooves enables the folding tray to be more firmly connected to the base.

[0029] In the present invention, it is preferred that an arc-shaped groove is formed on the outer side wall of the plate body; when in use, fingers can be inserted into the groove to facilitate taking the folding tray.

[0030] In the present invention, it is preferable that a sealing film (not shown in the figure) is connected to the opposite surface of the two opposite side plates 23 to seal the gap between the two opposite side plates when the two opposite side plates are stacked up and down; when used, the use of the sealing film can also further seal the movable gap, making it difficult for the tea waste water in the two bases to leak out from the movable gap, and the use effect is better.

[0031] In the present invention, the base 2 is not limited to the square structure of the present embodiment, and can also be an arc-shaped, flower-shaped or other special-shaped structure. Regardless of the shape, the relative side panels 23 are all flat panels.

[0032] In the present invention, the hinged connection between the two bases 2 can also be provided on the two opposite side panels 23 .

[0033] The product form of the present utility model is not limited to the illustrations and embodiments of this case. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by anyone with similar ideas should be deemed to be within the patent scope of the present utility model.
