Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea utensil technology, and more specifically, to a magnetic valve structure for a tea cup. Background Technology
[0002] Tea brewing utensils are widely used in homes, business offices, and other fields. Currently, there are various types of tea brewing cups on the market. A tea brewing cup typically consists of a cup body and an inner cup set inside the cup body. The inner cup acts as a filter cup, containing a filter screen. When using it, tea leaves are placed in the filter cup to brew the tea. After brewing, the spout below the filter screen is opened, and the brewed tea flows into the cup body, thus achieving tea and water separation.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219556869U discloses a filter inner cup and tea ceremony cup, including a cup body, a filter plate, and a pressing assembly. The filter plate is located at the bottom of the cup body and has a water passage space between it and the bottom. The bottom of the cup body has a through-hole, and the filter plate has a second hole corresponding to the first hole. The pressing assembly includes a spring rod and a rubber stopper. The spring rod passes through the first hole, and the rubber stopper is located at the lower end of the spring rod and below the first hole. The spring rod has an upward elastic force, which causes the rubber stopper to block the first hole, thus closing the first hole.
[0004] Tea cups similar to those mentioned above on the market can separate tea from water, but because they have many internal filter components, such as spring rods, filters, and pressing components, they are more complicated to clean, especially for tea stains from long-term brewing. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides a convenient magnetic valve structure for tea cups. Magnetic structures are set on the inner cup and handle, and the valve can be directly controlled by a sliding switch on the handle to open and close the bottom water passage.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A magnetic control valve structure for a tea ceremony cup is provided, comprising an outer cup, an inner cup mounted on the upper edge of the outer cup, and a handle connected to the outer cup. The bottom of the inner cup has a water outlet, and the water outlet has a valve cavity and a filter screen. The bottom of the valve cavity has a water passage hole, and the filter screen is connected to the valve cavity to form a receiving space. A movable first magnetic attraction structure is provided within the receiving space, and the first magnetic attraction structure can block the water passage hole. The structure also includes a gear lifting structure disposed within the handle, a second magnetic attraction structure connected to the gear lifting structure, and a sliding switch disposed on the handle for controlling the gear lifting structure. Sliding the sliding switch causes the gear lifting structure to lower the second magnetic attraction structure. When the second magnetic attraction structure lowers to the point where it attracts the first magnetic attraction structure, the first magnetic attraction structure moves away from the water passage hole. Sliding the sliding switch causes the gear lifting structure to raise the second magnetic attraction structure. When the second magnetic attraction structure rises to the point where it separates from the first magnetic attraction structure, the first magnetic attraction structure blocks the water passage hole.
[0008] Preferably, the magnetic attraction force when the second magnetic structure and the first magnetic structure attract each other is greater than the gravity acting on the first magnetic structure.
[0009] Furthermore, the gear lifting structure includes a fixed frame disposed in the handle, a gear, a first rack disposed on the fixed frame, and a fixed groove connected to the lower end of the fixed frame, and the second magnetic structure is installed in the fixed groove; the sliding switch is provided with a second rack, and the gear meshes with both the first rack and the second rack for transmission, and sliding the sliding switch causes the gear to rotate while driving the fixed frame to rise or fall.
[0010] Furthermore, the handle includes a handle housing fixed to the outer wall of the outer cup, the handle housing having a receiving cavity and a fixing post inside, the receiving cavity being disposed close to the cup body, and the fixing bracket being installed inside the receiving cavity; the fixing post being disposed on the side of the upper end of the receiving cavity, the gear being sleeved on the fixing post and meshing with the first rack on the fixing bracket; the upper end of the handle housing also has a mounting hole, the second rack on the sliding switch being disposed inside the handle housing and meshing with the gear, and the sliding switch sliding along the mounting hole.
[0011] Furthermore, the sliding switch includes a switch housing, the end of which is provided with a slot, the slot being engaged within the handle housing, and the second rack being fixedly mounted on the slot; the switch housing is also provided with a limiting foot, the limiting foot extending into the mounting hole, and when the sliding switch is slid, the limiting foot moves within the range limited by the mounting hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the gear includes a large gear and a small gear that drive each other, the large gear and the small gear being sequentially mounted on the fixed post, the large gear meshing with the first rack, and the small gear meshing with the second rack.
[0013] Preferably, the slot is provided with a connecting plate, the second rack is fixedly mounted on the lower end face of the connecting plate, and a limiting baffle is also provided on the lower end of the connecting plate. The limiting baffle is located above the fixed column and restricts the axial displacement of the pinion and the gear.
[0014] Preferably, the water outlet at the bottom of the inner cup is located near the handle, and the valve cavity is also provided with a groove; when the first magnetic structure and the second magnetic structure attract each other, the first magnetic structure is embedded in the groove.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the magnetic control valve of the tea cup of this utility model has a simple structure and is easy to use. The valve cavity is directly set at the water outlet, and the filter screen forms a space to accommodate the first magnetic structure. At the same time, a gear lifting structure connected to the second magnetic structure is set in the handle. The first magnetic structure opens and closes the water passage by attracting or separating the first magnetic structure and the second magnetic structure. The whole process is controlled by a sliding switch on the handle that is linked to the gear lifting structure. The user can separate the tea and water in the tea cup with just one hand.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 The image shows an embodiment of the magnetic valve structure for a teacup according to this utility model. (See image for details.) Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the magnetic valve structure of this tea cup includes an outer cup 10, an inner cup 20, and a handle 30. The inner cup 20 is mounted on the upper edge of the outer cup 10 and has a water outlet 21 at its bottom. The handle 30 is connected to the outer wall of the outer cup 10. The inner cup 20 has a valve cavity 40 and a filter screen 41 at its water outlet 21. The bottom of the valve cavity 40 has a water passage hole 42. The filter screen 41 is connected to the valve cavity 40 and forms a receiving space 43. That is, the filter screen 41 separates the interior of the valve cavity 40 from the interior of the inner cup 20, which can be used to hold tea leaves, etc. The receiving space 43 has a movable first magnetic attraction structure 44, which can block the water passage hole 42. The magnetic valve structure of the tea cup also includes a gear lifting structure 50, a second magnetic attraction structure 51 and a sliding switch 60, which are installed in the handle 30. The second magnetic attraction structure 51 is connected to the gear lifting structure 50, and the sliding switch 60 is installed on the handle 30 and used to control the gear lifting structure 50.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, sliding the sliding switch 60 causes the gear lifting structure 50 to drive the second magnetic attraction structure 51 to descend. When the second magnetic attraction structure 51 descends to the point where it attracts the first magnetic attraction structure 44, the first magnetic attraction structure 44 overcomes its own gravity and leaves the water passage hole 42. At this time, the water passage hole 42 opens, and the tea in the inner cup 20 flows into the outer cup 10 through this valve structure; as shown... Figure 1As shown, the sliding switch 60 causes the gear lifting structure 50 to drive the second magnetic structure 51 to rise. When the second magnetic structure 51 rises to the point where it separates from the first magnetic structure 44, the first magnetic structure 44 loses the attraction of the second magnetic structure 51 and falls due to its own gravity, blocking the water passage 42. At this time, the water passage 42 is closed, and the tea in the inner cup 20 is retained in the inner cup 20.
[0023] It should be noted that the magnetic attraction between the second magnetic structure 51 and the first magnetic structure 44 should be greater than the gravity acting on the first magnetic structure 44, so that the second magnetic structure 51 can attract the first magnetic structure 44 away from the water passage hole 42 to open the water passage hole 42. Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the first magnetic structure 44 and the second magnetic structure 51 can be replaced by mutually attracting magnets, which facilitates production and application.
[0024] The magnetic valve of the tea cup in this embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to use. The valve cavity 40 is directly set at the water outlet 21, eliminating the need for complex filter structures such as pressure rods and valve seats. The filter screen 41 forms a receiving space 43 to accommodate the first magnetic attraction structure 44. At the same time, a gear lifting structure 50 connected to the second magnetic attraction structure 51 is set in the handle 30. The first magnetic attraction structure 44 and the second magnetic attraction structure 51 attract or separate to open and close the water passage hole 42. The whole process is controlled by a sliding switch 60 on the handle 30 that is linked to the gear lifting structure 50. The user can separate the tea and water in the tea cup with just one hand.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the gear lifting structure 50 includes a fixed frame 52 disposed within the handle 30, a gear 53, a first rack 54 disposed on the fixed frame 52, and a fixing groove 55 connected to the lower end of the fixed frame 52. A second magnetic structure 51 is installed within the fixing groove 55. Figure 3As shown, the sliding switch 60 is provided with a second rack 61. The gear 53 meshes with the first rack 54 and the second rack 61 at the same time. Sliding the sliding switch 60 causes the gear 53 to rotate while driving the fixed frame 52 to rise or fall. In actual use, the second rack 61 on the sliding switch 60 meshes with the gear 53, causing the gear 53 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 53 simultaneously drives the first rack 54 to move. Since the first rack 54 is set on the fixed frame 52 and the second magnetic structure 51 is installed in the fixed groove 55 at the lower end of the fixed frame 52, when the sliding switch 60 moves the fixed frame 52 down until the second magnetic structure 51 attracts the first magnetic structure 44 in the valve structure, the first magnetic structure 44 is lifted by the attraction and leaves the water passage hole 42, so the tea in the inner cup 20 can flow into the outer cup 10 through the water passage hole 42. When the sliding switch 60 moves the fixed frame 52 up until the second magnetic structure 51 separates from the first magnetic structure 44 in the valve structure, the first magnetic structure 44 loses its magnetic attraction and falls under the action of gravity to block the water passage hole 42, so the tea in the inner cup 20 is retained in the inner cup 20. It is very convenient to control the opening and closing of the valve structure by the sliding switch 60.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the handle 30 includes a handle housing 31 fixed to the outer wall of the outer cup 10. The handle housing 31 has a receiving cavity 32 and a fixing post 33. The receiving cavity 32 is flush with the cup body. A fixing bracket 52 is installed inside the receiving cavity 32 so that the second magnetic attraction structure 51, located in the fixing groove 55 at the lower end, can attract and fix itself to the first magnetic attraction structure 44 when descending. The fixing post 33 is located on the side of the upper end of the receiving cavity 32. A gear 53 is sleeved on the fixing post 33 and meshes with the first rack 54 on the fixing bracket 52. The upper end of the handle housing 31 also has a mounting hole 34. The second rack 61 on the sliding switch 60 is located inside the handle housing 31 and meshes with the gear 53. The sliding switch 60 slides along the mounting hole 34. The internal structure of the handle housing 31 is integrally molded, facilitating manufacturing and installation of the tea cup.
[0027] like Figure 3As shown, the slide switch 60 includes a switch housing 62, with a slot 63 at its end. The slot 63 engages with the handle housing 31, and a second rack 61 is fixedly mounted on the slot 63. It is understood that the handle housing 31 should have a corresponding structure to facilitate the engagement of the slot 63. Furthermore, the switch housing 62 is also provided with a limiting foot 64, which extends into the mounting hole 34. When the slide switch 60 is slid, that is, when the switch housing 62 slides along the handle housing 31, the limiting foot 64 moves within the range limited by the mounting hole 34. It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the limiting foot 64 moves in a straight line, the limiting foot 64 should be adapted to the size of the mounting hole 34. Alternatively, a pair of limiting feet 64 can be symmetrically arranged to improve the stability of the slide switch 60.
[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, gear 53 includes a large gear 531 and a small gear 532 that drive each other. The large gear 531 and the small gear 532 are sequentially sleeved on the fixed post 33. The large gear 531 meshes with the first rack 54, and the small gear 532 meshes with the second rack 61. Thus, the sliding switch 60 can complete the raising and lowering of the fixed frame 52 within a relatively small range of movement (relatively large stroke).
[0029] To increase the stability of the second rack 61 and prevent it from falling off during use, such as Figure 3 As shown, a connecting plate 65 is provided in the slot 63, and the second rack 61 is fixedly mounted on the lower end surface of the connecting plate 65. In a preferred embodiment, the second rack 61 and the connecting plate 65 are integrally formed. In addition, in order to prevent the gear 53 from falling off during use, a limiting baffle 66 is also provided on the lower end of the connecting plate 65. The limiting baffle 66 is located above the fixing post 33, and the limiting baffle 66 restricts the axial displacement of the pinion 532 and the gear 531.
[0030] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to enable the first magnetic structure 44 and the second magnetic structure 51 to achieve better attraction within the shortest distance to open the valve structure, the water outlet 21 at the bottom of the inner cup 20 is located close to the handle 30; in addition, in order to further improve the stability of the attraction between the first magnetic structure 44 and the second magnetic structure 51 when the valve structure is opened, a groove 401 is also provided in the valve cavity 40, so that when the first magnetic structure 44 and the second magnetic structure 51 attract each other, the first magnetic structure 44 is embedded in the groove 401.
[0031] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
