[0125] Reference Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a tea brewing container 1, including a tank body 10, a first pipe 20, and a second pipe 30. The tank body 10 has a receiving cavity 11 for containing liquid and a first outlet 12 and a second outlet 13 connected to the receiving cavity 11. The temperature of the liquid at the first outlet 12 is the same as the temperature of the liquid at the second outlet 13. The first pipe 20 is connected to the receiving cavity 11 through the first outlet 12. The second pipe 30 is connected to the receiving cavity 11 through the second outlet 13. A heating device 40 is provided in the second pipe 30, and the temperature of the liquid at the outlet of the first pipe 20 is different from the temperature of the liquid at the outlet of the second pipe 30. By using the first pipe 20 and the second pipe 30, tea at different temperatures can be supplied.

[0126] Optionally, the tank 10 is used to hold hot tea. The heating device 40 is a refrigeration unit. Specifically, when the tank 10 is used to hold hot tea, the liquid temperature at the first outlet 12 and the second outlet 13 is the same, while the first pipe 20 is connected to the receiving cavity 11 through the first outlet 12 to keep the tea temperature constant; while the second pipe 30 is equipped with a refrigeration unit, which can reduce the temperature of the liquid at the outlet of the second pipe 30 to achieve cold tea supply.

[0127] Optionally, the tank 10 is used to hold cold tea. The heating device 40 is a heater. Specifically, when the tank 10 is used to hold cold tea, the liquid temperature at the first outlet 12 and the second outlet 13 is the same, while the first pipe 20 is connected to the receiving cavity 11 through the first outlet 12 to keep the tea temperature constant; while the second pipe 30 is equipped with a heater, which can raise the temperature of the liquid at the outlet of the second pipe 30 to achieve hot tea supply.

[0128] In some embodiments of this invention, the heating device 40 further includes a drive pump 41. The drive pump 41 is used to draw liquid from the receiving cavity 11 into the second pipeline 30, thereby achieving cooling or heating of the liquid in the second pipeline 30.

[0129] In some embodiments of this application, the second pipeline 30 is provided with a second valve 33. The second valve 33 is a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is used to control the connection or disconnection of the second pipeline.

[0130] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second pipeline 30 includes a first pipeline section 31 and a second pipeline section 32. The first pipeline section 31 is connected to the tank 10 and communicates with the receiving cavity 11 through a second outlet 13. The second pipeline section 32 is plugged into the first pipeline section 31. The first pipeline section 31 is liquid-sealed or structurally sealed to the receiving cavity 11.

[0131] In this invention, the first end 311 of the first pipe section 31 is connected to the tank 10, and the second end 312 of the first pipe section 31 is a free end. When the first pipe section 31 is separated from the second pipe section 32, the second end 312 of the first pipe section 31 needs to be sealed because the tank 10 may contain tea. Through the plug-in connection of the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32, the tank 10 can be quickly connected and disconnected from the heating device 40. Furthermore, when the first pipe section 31 is disconnected from the second pipe section 32, a liquid seal or structural seal is formed between the first pipe section 31 and the receiving cavity 11 to prevent the tea from flowing out. Therefore, the tank 10 can be selectively connected to or disconnected from the heating device 40, allowing users to choose whether to connect the heating device 40 to adjust the tea temperature, thus meeting diverse customer needs.

[0132] Reference Figures 1-2 In the first embodiment shown, when the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32 are connected by an insertion joint, the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32 are in fluid communication. Tea can flow out of the container 10. Figure 2 As shown, when the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32 are separated, the first pipe section 31 forms a liquid seal. Tea cannot flow freely out of the first pipe section 31, thus avoiding waste and contamination.

[0133] In some embodiments of this utility model, a liquid seal pipeline 15 for forming a liquid seal is provided inside the tank body 10, and a second outlet 13 is formed at the inlet end of the liquid seal pipeline 15. The outlet end of the liquid seal pipeline 15 is higher than the inlet end.

[0134] Based on the above embodiment, the inlet end of the liquid seal pipe 15 is located at the first outlet 12. That is, the liquid seal pipe 15 can be inserted into the first outlet 12. With this configuration, both the first outlet 12 and the second outlet 13 can be located at the lowest point of the tank body 10. The liquid seal pipe 15 will not affect the flow of liquid from the first outlet 12.

[0135] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first pipeline section 31 includes a first end 311 and a second end 312 disposed opposite to each other. The first end 311 and the second end 312 are sealed together. The first end 311 is adapted to be sealed together with the outlet end of the liquid-sealed pipeline 15. The second end 312 is adapted to be sealed together with the second pipeline section 32.

[0136] Optionally, the first end 311 and the second end 312 of the first pipeline segment 31 can be separate components. Based on the above embodiment, a first sealing ring 313 is provided between the first end 311 and the second end 312, and the first sealing ring 313 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the first end 311. Of course, the first end 311 and the second end 312 of the first pipeline segment 31 can also be integrally formed. An integrally formed first pipeline segment 31 can omit the need for the first sealing ring 313.

[0137] Based on the above embodiment, a second sealing ring 314 is provided between the second pipe section 32 and the first pipe section 31, and the second sealing ring 314 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the first pipe section 31. This forms a sealed connection between the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32.

[0138] Based on the above embodiment, at least a portion of the end of the second pipe section 32 that connects with the first pipe section 31 is constructed in a funnel shape. The funnel-shaped opening facilitates the connection between the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32.

[0139] In the first embodiment, the first pipe section 31 penetrates the side wall of the tank 10. That is, in actual use, the first pipe section 31 is always installed on the tank 10. When there is a demand for hot tea, the second pipe section 32 is connected to the tank, and hot tea can be supplied by controlling the heating device 40.

[0140] Based on the above embodiment, the first pipeline section 31 is located at the upper part of the tank 10. That is, the first pipeline section 31 is located at a higher position, and when liquid is contained in the tank 10, the liquid level is lower than the first pipeline section 31. Therefore, a better liquid sealing effect can be achieved.

[0141] Reference Figures 3-6 In the second embodiment shown, when the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32 are connected by an insertion, the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32 are in fluid communication. The tea in the tank 10 can flow out.

[0142] like Figure 4 As shown, when the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32 are separated, the first pipe section 31 forms a structural seal. This makes the tank 10 self-sealing, thereby preventing tea from flowing out of the first pipe section 31 and causing waste and contamination of the tea.

[0143] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first pipeline section 31 includes a connecting cavity 315, which is connected to the second outlet 13.

[0144] In some embodiments of this utility model, the sealing assembly includes a mounting member 50. The mounting member 50 is disposed within the communicating cavity 315, and the outer peripheral side of the mounting member 50 is sealed to the cavity wall of the communicating cavity 315, while the inner peripheral side of the mounting member 50 defines a connecting hole 511.

[0145] In some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting member 50 includes an annular portion 51 and a tubular portion 52. The annular portion 51 is provided with a connecting hole 511. The connecting hole 511 extends through the annular portion 51 along a first direction D1. The tubular portion 52 is connected to one side of the annular portion 51 along the first direction D1. The interior of the tubular portion 52 defines a mounting cavity 521. Optionally, the mounting cavity 521 extends along the first direction D1. The mounting cavity 521 communicates with the connecting hole 511.

[0146] The pipe body 52 is fitted into the first pipe section 31. The outer wall of the pipe body 52 is sealed to the wall of the communicating cavity 315. Optionally, the outer diameter of the annular portion 51 is equal to the outer diameter of the pipe body 52. ​​Correspondingly, the outer diameter of the annular portion 51, the outer diameter of the pipe body 52, and at least a portion of the inner diameter of the communicating cavity 315 are the same, facilitating the installation of the mounting member 50. Optionally, the inner diameter of the annular portion 51 is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe body 52.

[0147] In some embodiments of this utility model, a stepped portion 53 is provided at the other end of the pipe body portion 52. The outer diameter of the stepped portion 53 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe body portion 52. The stepped portion 53 constitutes a limit for the mounting member 50 relative to the first pipe section 31, facilitating the assembly of the mounting member 50.

[0148] In some embodiments of this invention, the sealing assembly includes a seal 60. The seal 60 is connected to the mounting member 50 and is movable relative to the mounting member 50 along a first direction D1 between a first position and a second position. Optionally, the seal 60 is movably disposed through a connecting hole 511. When the seal 60 is in the first position, the seal 60 blocks the connecting hole 511. When the seal 60 is in the second position, the communicating cavity 315 communicates with the outside.

[0149] In some embodiments of this invention, the seal 60 includes a body portion 61. The body portion 61 is movably disposed through the connection hole 511. At least a portion of the body portion 61 is located in the communicating cavity 315, and at least a portion of the body portion 61 is located in the mounting cavity 521. Optionally, the radial dimension of the body portion 61 is less than or equal to the diameter of the connection hole 511.

[0150] In some embodiments of this invention, the seal 60 further includes a head 62. The head 62 is disposed at the first end of the body portion 61. Optionally, the head 62 is located in the communicating cavity 315. The radial dimension of the head 62 is larger than the diameter of the connecting hole 511. The head 62 is movable along a first direction D1 with the body portion 61, allowing the head 62 to move closer to or further away from the mounting member 50. The head 62 in the first position is closer to the mounting member 50 than the head 62 in the second position. When the head 62 abuts against the mounting member 50 (i.e., in the first position), the head 62 blocks the connecting hole 511, thereby sealing the communicating cavity 315. It is understood that the head 62 can completely cover the connecting hole 511, thereby achieving a seal.

[0151] Optionally, at least a portion of the head 62 has a radial dimension smaller than the radial dimension of the mounting cavity 521. That is, at least a portion of the head 62 is spaced apart from the mounting cavity 521 in the radial direction.

[0152] In some embodiments of this invention, the sealing assembly further includes an elastic element 70, which applies a biasing force to the seal 60 to cause the head 62 to abut against the mounting member 50. The elastic element 70 may be a spring.

[0153] Exemplarily, the elastic element 70 is located in the mounting cavity 521, one end of the elastic element 70 is connected to the second end of the body portion 61, and the other end of the elastic element 70 is connected to the mounting member 50, so that the second end of the body portion 61 always tends to move away from the mounting member 50, and the head 62 always tends to move closer to the mounting member 50. Exemplarily, the elastic element 70 is located in the communication cavity 315, one end of the elastic element 70 is connected to the first end of the first conduit segment 31, and the other end of the elastic element 70 is connected to the head 62, so that the head 62 always tends to move closer to the mounting member 50. Exemplarily, the elastic element 70 is located in the mounting cavity 521, one end of the elastic element 70 is connected to the second end of the body portion 61, and the other end of the elastic element 70 is connected to the second end of the first conduit segment 31, so that the second end of the body portion 61 always tends to move away from the mounting member 50, and the head 62 always tends to move closer to the mounting member 50.

[0154] Optionally, the head 62 is located in the communicating cavity 315, and the elastic element 70 is located in the mounting cavity 521. At least when the seal 60 is in the second position, the elastic element 70 will not be submerged in the tea water, thereby improving the food safety of the tea water.

[0155] In some embodiments of this utility model, the sealing member 60 further includes a limiting portion 63, which is connected to the body portion 61, and the radial dimension of the limiting portion 63 is larger than the radial dimension of the body portion 61. The limiting portion 63 is disposed at the second end of the body portion 61. That is, along the first direction D1, the mounting member 50 is located between the head 62 and the limiting portion 63. Optionally, the elastic member 70 is disposed between the mounting member 50 and the limiting portion 63. Optionally, both the limiting portion 63 and the elastic member 70 are located in the mounting cavity 521. At least when the sealing member 60 is in the second position, the limiting portion 63 and the elastic member 70 will not be immersed in the tea water, thereby improving the food safety of the tea water.

[0156] Optionally, the annular portion 51 and the limiting portion 63 are spaced apart in the axial direction. The elastic member 70 is installed between the annular portion 51 and the limiting portion 63.

[0157] Optionally, the limiting part 63 is plugged into the main body part 61. The limiting part 63 is movable as the main body part 61 moves.

[0158] Optionally, the radial dimension of the limiting portion 63 is equal to the radial dimension of the mounting cavity 521. The radial dimension of the body portion 61 is equal to the radial dimension of the connecting hole 511. Thus, the seal 60 can move stably in its axial direction (first direction D1) without wobbling in its radial direction.

[0159] In some embodiments of this utility model, the interior of the sealing member 60 defines a sealing member cavity 601. A connecting hole 602 is provided on the side wall of the sealing member cavity 601. The connecting hole 602 extends radially along the sealing member 60. The connecting hole 602 is located in the body portion 61. The connecting hole 602 communicates with the sealing member cavity 601. When the sealing member 60 is in the first position, along the first direction D1, the connecting hole 511 is closer to the second outlet 13 than the connecting hole 602. That is, the connecting hole 602 is located outside the connecting cavity 315, so that the sealing member cavity 601 and the connecting cavity 315 are not in communication. When the sealing member 60 is in the first position, the annular portion 51 cooperates with the head 62 to separate the sealing member cavity 601 from the connecting cavity 315. At this time, the connecting hole 602 is located in the annular portion 51 or the tube portion 52. When the sealing member 60 is in the second position, along the first direction D1, the connecting hole 602 is closer to the second outlet 13 than the connecting hole 511. When the sealing element 60 is in the second position, the connecting hole 602 is located in the connecting cavity 315, thereby connecting the connecting cavity 315 with the inner cavity 601 of the sealing element. In this embodiment, the connecting cavity 315 is connected to the outside through the inner cavity 601 of the sealing element, so that tea can flow directly from the connecting cavity 315 to the inner cavity 601 of the sealing element, reducing the number of components through which the tea flows, avoiding tea contamination, and improving the food safety of the tea.

[0160] Optionally, the body portion 61 is constructed as a hollow tube. The limiting portion 63 is constructed as a hollow tube. The limiting portion 63 is sleeved onto the outside of the body portion 61. The body portion 61 and the limiting portion 63 together define the inner cavity 601 of the sealing member.

[0161] In some embodiments of this invention, at least a portion of the sealing member 60 extends beyond the first conduit section 31, and the second conduit section 32 is pluggable into the sealing member 60, thereby communicating with the inner cavity 601 of the sealing member. Specifically, at least a portion of the limiting portion 63 extends beyond the first conduit section 31, and the limiting portion 63 plugs into the second conduit section 32. The second conduit section 32 is constructed as a hollow tube.

[0162] In some embodiments of this invention, the sealing element 60 is provided with a sealing ring. Optionally, the sealing ring is a rubber sealing ring, a plastic sealing ring, a silicone sealing ring, etc.

[0164] For example, the fourth sealing ring 64 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the body part 61, and the fourth sealing ring 64 is in sealing contact with the head 62. When the sealing member 60 can block the connection hole 511, the fourth sealing ring 64 is in sealing contact with the mounting member 50.

[0165] For example, the fifth sealing ring 65 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the limiting part 63, and the fifth sealing ring 65 makes sealing contact with the outer peripheral side of the limiting part 63 and the cavity wall of the first mounting cavity 521.

[0166] In the above embodiments, the third sealing ring 54, the fourth sealing ring 64, and the fifth sealing ring 65 can all be configured as multiple in the axial direction.

[0167] In both the first and second embodiments, the first outlet 12 and the second outlet 13 are located below the tank body 10. Positioning the first outlet 12 and the second outlet 13 below the tank body 10 facilitates unloading and ensures that the liquid inside the tank body 10 is completely drained, reducing residue within the tank body 10.

[0168] In some embodiments of this utility model, the outlet ends of the first pipe 20 and the second pipe 30 are both located below the tank body 10. The middle portions of the first pipe 20 and the second pipe 30 can be concealed, making the tea brewing container 1 neater overall. Optionally, the outlet ends of the first pipe 20 and the second pipe 30 are arranged side by side. Arranging the outlet ends side by side improves the aesthetics of the tea brewing container 1 and also facilitates operation by staff.

[0169] In some embodiments of this utility model, a protective plate 14 is also included, which is disposed below the tank body 10. The protective plate 14 encloses the outlet end of the first pipe 20 and the outlet end of the second pipe 30, thereby avoiding interference during the installation or use of the tea brewing barrel 1 and improving the safety of the tea brewing barrel 1.

When the tea brewing barrel 1 is installed on the support, the bottom of the tea brewing barrel 1 is suspended. Optionally, the support is constructed as two long arms, with a protective plate 14 sandwiched between the two long arms.

[0172] In some embodiments of this invention, one end of the first pipe 20 of the tea brewing container 1 is connected to the container body 10, and the other end is a free end. The tea brewing container 1 has a first valve 21 at the outlet end of the first pipe 20, which is movable between an open position and a closed position. The body 2 is provided with a drive assembly for driving the first valve 21 to move between the open and closed positions. When the first valve 21 is in the open position, the first pipe 20 connects the receiving cavity 11 to the outside. When the first valve 21 is in the closed position, the free end of the first pipe 20 is sealed.

[0173] In some embodiments of this utility model, the driving assembly includes a lever 80 and a brake 81. The lever 80 is configured to rotate about a fulcrum axis 803. The lever 80 includes a first end 801 and a second end 802 that are opposite in length direction to the lever 80. The first end 801 is connected to the first valve 21. The brake 81 is connected to the second end 802 and is used to drive the lever 80 to rotate about the fulcrum axis 803.

[0174] Optionally, the braking element 81 is an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder. The braking element 81 has a fixed end 811 and a movable end 812. The fixed end 811 and the movable end 812 are capable of relative movement. The fixed end 811 is fixedly connected to the machine body 2 or the tank 10. The movable end 812 can abut against the second end 802 of the lever.

[0175] For example, when the brake 81 presses down on the second end 802 of the lever, the first end 801 of the lever is raised, and the first valve 21 is in the open position.

[0176] In some embodiments of this utility model, the tea maker further includes a fixing component 90, which is used to limit the relative displacement between the tank 10 and the machine body 2.

[0177] In some embodiments of this utility model, the fixing component 90 is an electromagnet connected to the body 2. When the electromagnet is energized, the can 10 is magnetically fixed to the body 2, or the power is cut off to release the can 10.

[0178] In some embodiments of this utility model, the fixing component 90 and the driving component are located on the same side of the tank 10, which makes the overall space arrangement of the tea maker reasonable.
