Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, specifically to a luminous tea tray. Background Technology

[0002] In the current field of teaware design, the design of traditional teacups and saucers has long focused on practicality and basic aesthetics, neglecting the integration with modern technology. While existing teacup saucers have seen some innovation in materials and shapes, their functions are limited, mostly offering basic features such as heat protection and slip resistance. In pursuing the function of tea drinking, they have failed to meet consumers' needs for aesthetic appeal and the creation of a conducive atmosphere within the teaware.

[0003] Ceramic craftsmanship has evolved over thousands of years, resulting in unique textures, colors, and shapes. For example, linglong porcelain uses openwork carving to create numerous regularly spaced, delicate holes on the porcelain body. After glazing and firing, these holes become translucent pores, allowing for good light transmission. However, in low light, the patterns and details on linglong porcelain cups are difficult to showcase on ordinary cup holders. Poor lighting conditions can also obscure the ceramic's natural luster and texture, failing to create the elegant atmosphere expected of linglong porcelain teaware and diminishing its artistic appeal and cultural value.

[0004] Some high-end teahouses use ambient lighting to compensate, but due to the lack of targeted lighting for teacups and saucers, they still cannot accurately showcase the beauty of ceramic craftsmanship. The luster, color transitions, and delicate texture of ceramic surfaces all require light of specific angles, intensities, and colors to be revealed. Ordinary ambient light cannot achieve this, thus preventing the full artistic value of ceramic teaware from being displayed.

[0005] Furthermore, traditional teacup holders are outdated in their structural design, focusing primarily on the basic function of simply supporting teacups without taking into account the layout required by modern lighting technology. Because they do not consider the synergistic relationship between the teacup holder, teacup, and lighting, it is difficult to achieve a perfect interaction between the lighting and the teacup, thus failing to create a warm and artistic tea-drinking atmosphere and greatly limiting the expressiveness of teaware in leisure and social settings. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, this utility model aims to solve the problems of existing teacup holders, which have difficulty in achieving a perfect integration of teacup and light, affecting the overall visual effect, and lack of targeted local lighting, resulting in the inability to accurately showcase the craftsmanship and beauty of ceramic teacups. Thus, it provides a luminous teacup holder.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A luminous tea tray includes a tea tray and a luminous component located inside the tea tray. The tea tray includes a tea tray base and a cup holder located on top of the tea tray base for placing a teacup. The interior of the tea tray base is hollow, and the luminous component is embedded in the bottom opening of the tea tray base. A light-transmitting waterproof cover is fixedly connected to the top opening of the tea tray base.

[0009] Furthermore, the light-emitting component includes a base plate located at the bottom of the tea tray. The bottom surface of the base plate is provided with a push-button switch for controlling the light-emitting component to light up or turn off. The push-button switch protrudes outward relative to the bottom surface of the base plate, and the protrusion height of the push-button switch in the non-pressed state is no more than 1.5mm.

[0010] Furthermore, when the cup holder is pressed, the push-button switch can be pressed down to make the light-emitting component light up or turn off.

[0011] Furthermore, the base plate is provided with a waterproof silicone plug sleeved around the outer periphery of the push button switch, and the protrusion height of the push button switch relative to the surface of the waterproof silicone plug is no more than 1.5mm when it is not pressed.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the base plate is also provided with a charging port, and the outer periphery of the charging port is covered by the waterproof silicone plug.

[0013] Furthermore, the light-emitting component also includes a circuit board mounted on the base plate, a battery disposed between the base plate and the circuit board for supplying power to the circuit board; the circuit board is provided with LED lights, and the push-button switch is used to control the LED lights to light up or turn off.

[0014] Furthermore, the light-emitting component also includes a silicone sealing ring that is sealed between the base plate and the tea tray base.

[0015] Furthermore, the top opening of the tea tray base is provided with a top step, and the waterproof cover is embedded in the top step; the bottom opening of the tea tray base is provided with a bottom step, and the light-emitting component is embedded in the bottom step.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the cup holder is larger than the outer diameter of the tea tray base.

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] An luminous component is installed inside the tea tray. When the component is illuminated, the light shines through the waterproof cover. When the teacup is placed on the tray, the light source at the bottom of the cup penetrates the cup wall or the tea, creating a transparent, interplay of light and shadow. If the light passes through the transparent or semi-transparent cup wall, it significantly enhances the cup's three-dimensionality and luster, highlighting the patterns and color details and showcasing the craftsmanship of the ceramic teacup. If the cup contains liquid (such as tea or other beverages), the light refraction creates a gradient of light and shadow within the liquid, further emphasizing the cup's texture. Furthermore, different colors of the teacup or its contents create different atmospheres, effectively enhancing the teaware's appeal in leisure and social settings. The fixed waterproof cover improves waterproof sealing.

[0019] 2. The illuminated tea tray provided by this utility model has a button switch with a protrusion height of no more than 1.5mm when not pressed. This design prevents the tea tray from tipping over due to excessive button switch height, thus avoiding excessive wobbling and affecting the user experience. Simultaneously, the slightly protruding button switch enhances tactile feedback, allowing users to clearly perceive the button's presence when pressed, reducing the possibility of accidental operation.

[0020] 3. The luminous tea tray provided by this utility model allows the push-button switch to be pressed down when the tray is pressed, thereby illuminating or extinguishing the luminous component. This design allows users to easily turn on the light by pressing the edge of the tray, eliminating the need for precise button positioning. The operation is simple and convenient. This design of turning on the light by pressing the edge of the tray fully considers user habits and ease of operation, improving the product's usability.

[0021] 4. The luminous tea tray provided by this utility model has a waterproof silicone plug fitted around the outer periphery of the push-button switch on its base plate. This design effectively ensures the waterproof performance of the outer periphery of the base plate and improves its reliability.

[0022] 5. The luminous tea tray provided by this utility model has its charging port covered by the waterproof silicone plug. This design ensures the waterproof performance of the charging port, preventing liquids such as tea from entering and causing a short circuit in the luminous component. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 The illustrated luminous tea tray includes a tea tray 2 and a luminous component 3 located within the tea tray 2. The tea tray 2 includes a tea tray base and a cup holder located on top of the tea tray base for placing a teacup. The interior of the tea tray base is hollow, and the luminous component 3 is embedded in the bottom opening of the tea tray base. A light-transmitting waterproof cover plate 1 is fixedly connected to the top opening of the tea tray base.

[0034] This luminous tea tray has a light-emitting component 3 inside the tray 2. When the light-emitting component 3 is lit, the light shines through the waterproof cover 1. When a teacup is placed on the tray 2, the light source at the bottom of the teacup penetrates the cup wall or the tea liquid, creating a transparent, interwoven light and shadow effect. If the light passes through the transparent or semi-transparent cup wall, it significantly enhances the three-dimensionality and luster of the teacup, highlighting the patterns and color details and showcasing the craftsmanship of the ceramic teacup. If the cup contains liquid (such as tea or other beverages), the light refraction creates a gradient of light and shadow within the liquid, further emphasizing the texture of the teacup. Furthermore, depending on the color of the teacup or the liquid inside, it creates different atmospheres, effectively enhancing the expressiveness of the teaware in leisure and social settings. The fixed waterproof cover 1 improves waterproof sealing performance.

[0035] In this embodiment, the light-emitting component 3 includes a base plate 3-4 located at the bottom of the tea tray 2. The bottom surface of the base plate 3-4 is provided with a push-button switch 3-5-1 for controlling the light-emitting component 3 to emit or extinguish light. The push-button switch 3-5-1 protrudes outward relative to the bottom surface of the base plate 3-4, and the protrusion height of the push-button switch 3-5-1 in the non-pressed state is no more than 1.5mm. This design prevents the tea tray 2 from tipping over due to the excessive height of the push-button switch 3-5-1, thus avoiding excessive shaking of the tea tray 2 and affecting the user experience. Simultaneously, the slightly protruding height of the push-button switch 3-5-1 enhances the user's tactile feedback, allowing the user to clearly perceive the presence of the button when pressing it, reducing the possibility of accidental operation.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, two fixed support points are also provided on the base plate 3-4 at the bottom of the tea tray 2, namely the first fixed support point 3-4-1 and the second fixed support point 3-4-2. The protrusion height of the two fixed support points is the same as the protrusion height of the button switch 3-5-1 in the pressed state / or unpressed state. Specifically, the two fixed support points and the button switch 3-5-1 are arranged at intervals with the center on the base plate 3-4. In this arrangement, the first fixed support point 3-4-1 and the second fixed support point 3-4-2 cooperate with the button switch 3-5-1 to form a stable three-point support, ensuring the stability of the cup tray; at the same time, stability can also be maintained when the edge of the tea tray 2 is pressed down to trigger the button switch 3-5-1. Specifically, the outer periphery of the push button switch 3-5-1 is covered with a silicone layer, and the protrusion height of the push button switch 3-5-1 covered with the silicone layer is the same as the protrusion height of the two fixed support points when it is in the pressed state or in the unpressed state; specifically, the first fixed support point 3-4-1 and the second fixed support point 3-4-2 are both integrally formed on the bottom of the base plate 3-4.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the cup holder is pressed, the button switch 3-5-1 can be pressed down to make the light-emitting component 3 light up or turn off. With this setting, the user can easily turn on the light by pressing the edge of the cup holder without the need for precise button positioning. The operation is simple and convenient. This design of turning on the light by pressing the edge of the cup holder fully considers the user's usage habits and operational convenience, and improves the usability of the product.

[0038] In this embodiment, the base plate 3-4 is provided with a waterproof silicone plug 3-5 sleeved around the outer periphery of the push-button switch 3-5-1. When the push-button switch 3-5-1 is not pressed, the protrusion height of the push-button switch 3-5-1 relative to the surface of the waterproof silicone plug 3-5 is no more than 1.5mm. This design effectively ensures the waterproof performance of the outer periphery of the base plate 3-4 through the waterproof silicone plug 3-5, improving reliability.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the base plate 3-4 is also provided with a charging port 3-5-2, and the outer periphery of the charging port 3-5-2 is covered by the waterproof silicone plug 3-5. This arrangement ensures the waterproof performance of the charging port 3-5-2 by the waterproof silicone plug 3-5, preventing liquids such as tea from entering the charging port and causing a short circuit in the light-emitting component 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, the light-emitting component 3 further includes a circuit board 3-2 mounted on the base plate 3-4 and a battery disposed between the base plate 3-4 and the circuit board 3-2 for supplying power to the circuit board 3-2. The circuit board 3-2 is equipped with an LED light, and the push-button switch 3-5-1 is used to control the LED light to illuminate or extinguish. Specifically, the color tone of the LED light is adjustable and can be set to a warm yellow or white light. The push-button switch 3-5-1 is provided with a pin connected to the circuit board 3-2. Pressing the push-button switch 3-5-1 causes the pin to contact the circuit board 3-2, thereby achieving the effect of turning the push-button switch 3-5-1 on and off.

[0041] Specifically, the base plate 3-4 is detachable. This design facilitates the removal and placement of the light-emitting component 3 inside the base of the tea tray 2 via the detachable base plate 3-4.

[0042] In this embodiment, the top opening of the tea tray 2 base has a top step, and the waterproof cover 1 is embedded in the top step; the bottom opening of the tea tray 2 base has a bottom step, and the light-emitting component 3 is embedded in the bottom step. Specifically, the waterproof cover 1 can be made of a highly transparent material or a frosted material. In an alternative embodiment, the transparency of the waterproof cover 1 can gradually increase or decrease from the edge to the center. This design allows for changing the intensity of transmitted light by altering the transparency of the waterproof cover 1 material, thereby changing the light intensity according to different environmental scenarios, enhancing the overall visual effect, creating a unique atmosphere, making the tea-drinking process more pleasant and relaxing, and improving the user experience.

[0043] In an alternative embodiment, a waterproof sealing ring is fitted around the outer periphery of the waterproof cover 1. This arrangement improves the waterproofness of the waterproof cover 1 by using the waterproof sealing ring, preventing liquid from seeping into the tea tray base through the gap between the waterproof cover 1 and the cup holder and causing damage to the light-emitting component 3; at the same time, it improves the stability of the waterproof cover 1 connected to the cup holder, preventing it from loosening and sliding.

[0044] In summary, this luminous tea tray features a light-emitting component 3 inside the tray 2. When the light-emitting component 3 is lit, the light passes through the waterproof cover 1. When a teacup is placed on the tray 2, the light source at the bottom of the teacup penetrates the cup wall or the tea liquid, creating a transparent, interwoven light and shadow effect. If the light passes through the transparent or semi-transparent cup wall, it significantly enhances the three-dimensionality and luster of the teacup, highlighting the patterns and color details and showcasing the craftsmanship of the ceramic teacup. If the cup contains liquid (such as tea or other beverages), the light refraction creates a gradient of light and shadow within the liquid, further emphasizing the texture of the teacup. Furthermore, depending on the color of the teacup or the liquid inside, different atmospheres are created, effectively enhancing the expressiveness of the teaware in leisure and social settings. The fixed waterproof cover 1 improves waterproof sealing performance.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
