Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealed container technology, and in particular to a sealed container for storing tea. Background Technology
[0002] After processing, tea needs to be stored in airtight containers, otherwise it is very easy to oxidize and deteriorate due to moisture. However, the existing tea canisters have too simple an overall structure and single function, so they need to be improved.
[0003] The technical solution disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN220866144U is equipped with a filter component. Before taking out the tea leaves, the storage tank is slightly shaken. The tea leaves mixed with dust fall to the top of the filter plate through the guide plate. The tea leaves dust will fall to the bottom of the storage tank through the filter plate, so as to avoid the tea leaves dust affecting the taste of the tea when brewing.
[0004] However, the device still has shortcomings: the filter component needs to be removed when cleaning tea leaves, which is inconvenient to operate. In addition, the device needs to absorb moisture from the inside of the tea canister with a desiccant. The desiccant itself has a certain usage limit and needs to be replaced in time. If it is not replaced in time, it will not protect the tea. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model proposes a sealed container for storing tea, comprising a container body 1, a rotating cylinder 3, a lid 4, a piston cylinder 12, and a pumping assembly. A discharge hole 101 is provided on the bottom plate of the container body 1. An inner basket 2 is provided inside the container body 1, with the outer wall of the opening of the inner basket 2 fitting against the inner wall of the opening of the container body 1. Several filter holes for filtering tea leaves are provided on the side wall of the inner basket 2, and a material guiding channel is provided between the side wall of the inner basket 2 and the inner wall of the container body 1, communicating with the discharge hole 101. A hinge is provided on one side of the container body 1. The rotating cylinder 3 is disposed inside the bottom plate of the container body 1 and rotatably connected to it. A through hole 301 corresponding to and communicating with the discharge hole 101 is provided on the rotating cylinder 3. One end of the lid 4 is rotatably connected to the container body 1 via a hinge, and a sealing ring is provided on the lid 4 surrounding the opening of the container body 1. A locking mechanism for controlling the opening and closing of the lid 4 is provided on the container body 1. The locking mechanism includes a first fixing seat 5, a first button 7, and a second fixing seat 9. The first fixing seat 5 is connected to the side of the cover 4 away from the hinge, and a first spring rod 6 is provided inside the first fixing seat 5. The second fixing seat 9 is connected to the tank 1, and a T-shaped groove 91 is provided on the second fixing seat 9. One end of the first button 7 is inserted into the first fixing seat 5 and connected to the movable end of the first spring rod 6, and the end of the first button 7 inserted into the first fixing seat 5 is connected to a hook 8, which is an L-shaped hook, and the bottom of the horizontal end of the hook 8 is provided with a bevel. The piston cylinder 12 is provided on the cover 4, and a one-way air inlet pipe 13 is provided on the piston cylinder 12 to connect its interior and the interior of the tank 1, and a one-way exhaust pipe 15 is provided on the piston cylinder 12 to connect its interior and the external environment. The one-way air inlet pipe 13 includes an air inlet pipe and a first one-way valve provided on the air inlet pipe for controlling the opening and closing of the air inlet pipe, and a filter ball head 14 is sleeved on the outside of its air inlet on the air inlet pipe. The one-way exhaust pipe 15 includes an exhaust pipe and a second one-way valve provided on the exhaust pipe for controlling the opening and closing of the exhaust pipe. The pumping assembly includes a third spring rod 16 and a piston 17. The third spring rod 16 is disposed inside the piston cylinder 12, and the piston 17 is disposed inside the piston cylinder 12 and located on the side of the third spring rod 16 away from the one-way air inlet pipe 13 and the one-way exhaust pipe 15. The piston 17 is connected to the movable end of the third spring rod 16, and a second button 18 is disposed on the end of the piston 17 away from the third spring rod 16. The second button 18 passes through the cover 4 and is slidably connected to it. When the pumping assembly is in operation, it expels air from the tank 1.
[0028] In this embodiment, tea leaves are placed into the inner basket 2 inside the canister 1, the lid 4 is closed, and the lid 4 is pressed so that the hook 8 engages with the T-shaped groove 91. Then, the second button 18 is pressed repeatedly. The button 18, in conjunction with the third spring rod 16, drives the piston 17 to slide back and forth, thereby causing the air inside the canister 4 to be discharged through the one-way exhaust pipe 15 after multiple pumping, thus maintaining a near-vacuum environment inside the canister 1. When tea leaves need to be taken out, the rotating drum 3 is rotated so that the through hole 301 and the discharge hole 101 are slightly connected, allowing outside air to enter. Once inside the tank 1, after the air pressure inside and outside the tank 1 is balanced, rotate the drum 3 back to its original position. Then press the first button 7. The first button 7 will cause the hook 8 to retract, thereby releasing the lock on the tank 1 and the cover 4. The cover 4 will open. Tilt the tank 1 to pour out the tea. During the pouring process, the tea leaves will pass through the filter holes on the inner basket 2, while the intact tea leaves will be poured out. When it is necessary to clean the tea leaves, simply rotate the drum 3 until the through hole 301 is fully connected to the discharge hole 101. At this time, the tea leaves will be automatically discharged along the discharge hole 101 and the through hole 301.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention proposes a sealed container for storing tea. Compared with the first embodiment, the second fixed base 9 is provided with a storage groove communicating with the T-shaped groove 91. A second spring rod 10 is provided at the bottom of the storage groove, and a slider 11 is provided in the storage groove and slidably connected to its inner wall and the inner wall of the vertical end of the T-shaped groove 91. The bottom of the slider 11 is connected to the movable end of the second spring rod 10.
[0031] In this embodiment, when the cover 4 is opened, the second spring rod 10 releases potential energy and pushes the slider 11 to slide, thereby using the slider 11 to close the upper opening of the T-shaped groove 91, preventing external dust and tea leaves from entering the T-shaped groove 91. When the cover 4 is closed, the hook 8 squeezes the slider 11, causing the slider 11 to slide automatically and retract, without restricting the hook 8 from being inserted into the T-shaped groove 91.
[0032] Example 3
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes a sealed container for storing tea. Compared with Embodiment 1, one end of the rotating cylinder 3 is provided with a handle, and an indicator arrow is provided on the handle to indicate the opening direction of the through hole 301. The rotating cylinder 3 is fitted with an annular sealing ring, which is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the bottom plate of the container body 1.
[0034] In this embodiment, the annular sealing ring enables the rotating drum 3 to have a certain damping coefficient during rotation, thereby preventing the rotating drum 3 from rotating freely when the tank 1 shakes, and effectively preventing air from entering the tank 1.
[0035] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
