Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cup technology, and more particularly to tea storage sealing mechanisms and water cups. Background Technology

[0002] A tea-water separator cup is a cup that separates tea leaves from tea water, so that the tea water remains clear when brewing tea, making it easy to remove tea leaves from the tea water and control the brewing time.

[0003] Conventional tea infuser cups have a tea compartment attached to the top of the cup. However, the filter at the bottom of the tea compartment cannot be sealed in this structure, causing the tea to still come into contact with the tea leaves when the cup is tilted, making it impossible to accurately control the brewing time.

[0004] To address this issue, tea-water separation cups have emerged that achieve bottom sealing of the tea compartment through a tea compartment closure mechanism. For example, Chinese patent application CN220546090U, published on March 1, 2024, discloses a tea-water separation cup comprising a tea compartment and a cup body. The tea compartment is enclosed by a tea compartment shell and a tea strainer. A shut-off valve is provided between the tea compartment and the cup body. The shut-off valve includes a valve body, a rotating component, and a vertically movable gate. The rotating component is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the valve body, and the tea compartment shell is circumferentially anti-rotated and mounted on the upper end of the rotating component. The cup body is detachably and fixedly connected to the lower end of the valve body. The tea compartment and the cup body are connected through a water flow channel of the shut-off valve. The tea compartment shell drives the rotating component to rotate, controlling the vertical movement of the gate to open or close the water flow channel. The drawback of this solution is that relying solely on the gate for sealing results in poor sealing reliability. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the problem of poor sealing reliability in existing tea storage sealing mechanisms. Therefore, this application provides a tea storage sealing mechanism and a water cup, achieving double sealing of the tea storage through a first sealing component and a second sealing component, thereby improving sealing reliability.

[0006] This application provides a tea storage sealing mechanism, including a first sealing component and a second sealing component connected by a transmission connection;

[0007] The first sealing component includes a first valve plate and a second valve plate stacked together. The first valve plate is used to connect with the tea container, and the first valve plate and the second valve plate can rotate relative to each other so that the first sealing component can close or open the tea container.

[0008] The second sealing assembly includes a rotating component and a sealing plate. The rotating component is connected to the first valve plate and can rotate synchronously. The sealing plate is positioned close to the rotating component and can move up and down.

[0009] The first valve plate drives the rotating component to rotate and controls the water sealing plate to move up and down, so that the second sealing component and the first sealing component can simultaneously close or open the tea container.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the tea compartment is double-sealed through the first and second sealing components, thereby improving the reliability of the tea compartment's sealing. Furthermore, the second and first sealing components are connected by a transmission mechanism, and both can simultaneously close or open the tea compartment, improving operational convenience. At the same time, by placing the relatively simple first sealing component above the more complex second sealing component, tea leaves in the tea compartment will not fall into the second sealing component during storage. This prevents tea leaves that have fallen into the second sealing component from entering the cup and causing prolonged soaking when the second sealing component is opened, and also prevents tea leaves from getting stuck in the second sealing component, thereby reducing the frequency of cleaning.

[0011] In some embodiments, the second sealing assembly further includes a guide post connected to the second valve plate, the end of the guide post being threadedly connected to an adjusting member, the end of the adjusting member having an abutment portion;

[0012] The sealing plate is slidably sleeved on the guide post, and an elastic element is provided between the sealing plate and the abutting part of the adjusting member. The elastic element applies a thrust to the sealing plate, so that the sealing plate remains in contact with the rotating member when it moves up and down along the guide post.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing plate is reset through the guide post, adjusting component, and elastic component, further improving the sealing reliability. Furthermore, the arrangement of these three components, with the elastic component positioned below the sealing plate, effectively controls the distance between the first and second sealing components, thus controlling the overall thickness of both components and the space occupied by the water cup, allowing for a larger capacity. Simultaneously, the adjusting component's placement below the sealing plate facilitates the assembly of the second sealing component and allows adjustment of the sealing degree of the sealing plate through the spiral depth of the adjusting component and guide post, compatibility with manufacturing and other assembly errors, reducing costs. It also facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the second sealing component, improving the user experience.

[0014] In some embodiments, the sealing plate has two pushing portions facing the rotating member, and the rotating member has two helical inclined surfaces corresponding to the two pushing portions. The path of the helical inclined surfaces is at least half a turn, allowing the first valve plate and the second valve plate to rotate relative to each other by at least 180°. Furthermore, the pushing portions of the sealing plate slide and push against the helical inclined surfaces corresponding to the rotating member, driving the sealing plate to move up and down.

[0015] The line connecting the two jacking parts and the guide post forms a triangle.

[0016] The above technical solution utilizes two pushing parts of the sealing plate and two helical inclined surfaces of the rotating component to drive the sealing plate to move up and down. This results in a simple structure and reliable transmission. Furthermore, the two components work together to allow the rotating component to rotate 180°, meaning the first valve plate can rotate 180° relative to the second valve plate. This ensures the first sealing component can form its maximum outlet, guaranteeing its water inlet and outlet efficiency. It also ensures the second sealing component can move up and down for a longer period, forming a larger outlet and guaranteeing its water inlet and outlet efficiency. Together, they ensure overall water inlet and outlet efficiency. Simultaneously, the two pushing parts and guide pillars form a triangular support for the sealing plate, improving its stability and reliability. Especially when the entire cup is inverted for tea brewing or upright for tea and water separation, this ensures the integrity and stability of the second sealing component's circumferential outlet, thus guaranteeing water inlet and outlet efficiency.

[0017] In some embodiments, the first valve plate and the second valve plate can rotate relative to each other to form a first outlet, thereby opening the tea container;

[0018] The sealing plate is correspondingly arranged with the second valve plate, and the two pushing parts are located on the axis of symmetry of the sealing plate and are arranged close to the edge of the sealing plate. The guide post is eccentrically arranged on the second valve plate and is located on the side away from the first outlet, so that the elastic element applies a deflection force to the sealing plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, by eccentrically setting the guide post on the second valve plate and away from the first outlet, the guide post can be prevented from encroaching on the first outlet, ensuring the size of the first outlet and thus ensuring water inlet and outlet efficiency. Furthermore, by setting the guide post in the closed part of the second valve plate, the size of the guide post can be set more flexibly, that is, the guide post can be set to be thicker, thereby improving the stability of the sealing plate movement. The two pushing parts of the sealing plate are set on its axis of symmetry, and the sealing plate and the second valve plate are set correspondingly. The elastic element applies a deflection force to the sealing plate, so that the sealing plate is in an oblique state during the downward opening process, and the outlet corresponding to the first outlet is larger. Thus, when pouring water, the overall water outlet channel is larger, ensuring the water outlet efficiency under the dual outlet setting.

[0020] In some embodiments, the guide post has a circumferential limiting structure to restrict the water sealing plate from rotating around the guide post.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the water sealing plate is prevented from rotating during its up-and-down movement, which could cause it to jam, thereby further improving the reliability of the seal.

[0022] In some embodiments, the center of the sealing sheet is recessed away from the abutment portion of the adjusting member to form a receiving area, and the elastic member is located within the receiving area.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the concave receiving area on the water sealing plate accommodates the elastic element, which further controls the thickness of the second sealing component and the space occupied by the water cup, allowing the water cup to have a larger capacity. In addition, it improves the overall integrity of the second sealing component, making the tea storage sealing mechanism less protruding and easier to place and store.

[0024] In some embodiments, a limiting cavity is formed between the rotating member and the first valve plate, and the second valve plate is rotatably disposed within the limiting cavity via its edge.

[0025] In some embodiments, the tea storage mechanism further includes a connecting cylinder, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first valve plate;

[0026] The connecting cylinder is also provided with a bearing part at one end near the first valve plate, and the rotating part is provided above the bearing part;

[0027] A sealing ring is provided on the side of the bearing part away from the rotating part. The water sealing plate can move up and down to abut against the sealing ring to seal the connecting cylinder and the tea container.

[0028] In some embodiments, the rotating member is provided with a guide groove on the side facing the bearing portion, the bearing portion is provided with a guide block corresponding to the guide groove, and the central angle of the guide groove is not less than 180°.

[0029] This application embodiment also provides a water cup, including a cup body and a tea container detachably connected to the cup body. The bottom of the tea container is provided with the aforementioned tea container sealing mechanism, and the first valve plate of the tea container sealing mechanism is connected to the bottom of the tea container and can rotate synchronously.

[0030] Other features and corresponding beneficial effects of this application will be described in the latter part of the specification, and it should be understood that at least some of the beneficial effects will become obvious from the description in this application.

[0048] Example 1:

[0049] Please see Figure 1-2 , Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the tea storage enclosure mechanism and tea storage 21 assembled according to this application; Figure 2 This is an explosion diagram of the tea storage enclosure mechanism and tea storage 21 in this application.

[0050] This application provides a tea storage sealing mechanism, including a first sealing component 22 and a second sealing component 23 connected by transmission. That is, the first sealing component 22 and the second sealing component 23 achieve double sealing of the tea storage 21, thereby improving the sealing reliability of the tea storage 21.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first sealing component 22 includes a first valve plate 110 and a second valve plate 120 stacked together. The first valve plate 110 is used to connect with the tea storage compartment 21, so that the tea storage compartment sealing mechanism and the tea storage compartment 21 are integrated as a whole. The first valve plate 110 and the tea storage compartment 21 can be circumferentially anti-rotation connected to form an integral rotation, or they can be rotatably connected to allow the first valve plate 110 to be rotated independently.

[0052] The first valve plate 110 and the second valve plate 120 can rotate relative to each other so that the first sealing assembly 22 can close or open the tea compartment 21.

[0053] In one embodiment, the second sealing assembly 23 includes a rotating member 210 and a sealing plate 220. The rotating member 210 is connected to the first valve plate 110 and can rotate synchronously. The sealing plate 220 is disposed close to the rotating member 210 and can move up and down. Furthermore, the first valve plate 110 drives the rotating member 210 to rotate and controls the up and down movement of the sealing plate 220, so that the second sealing assembly 23 and the first sealing assembly 22 can synchronously close or open the tea compartment 21.

[0054] In this method, the second sealing component 23 and the first sealing component 22 are connected by a transmission, and the two simultaneously close or open the tea compartment 21, which improves the ease of operation.

[0055] Since the first sealing component 22 achieves lateral sealing by overlapping the first valve plate 110 and the second valve plate 120, it is visible to the user and can quickly determine the sealing status. Therefore, preferably, the first sealing component 22 is set above the second sealing component 23. That is, when assembled with the water cup, the first sealing component 22 is set close to the tea compartment 21. The user can observe the opening and closing status of the first sealing component 22 through the tea compartment 21, thereby improving the user's ease of operation.

[0056] Meanwhile, by placing the simpler first sealing component 22 above the more complex second sealing component 23, the tea leaves in the tea compartment 21 are stored in a dry, unbrewed state. In this dry state, the tea leaves are small, and tea fragments are particularly prone to falling off the filter. This method uses the first sealing component 22 to prevent the tea leaves from falling into the second sealing component 23. This prevents the tea leaves that fall into the second sealing component 23 from entering the water cup when the second sealing component 23 is opened, thus avoiding prolonged soaking. It also prevents the tea leaves, especially after brewing, from becoming larger and more pliable, from getting stuck in the second sealing component 23, causing dirt, or even affecting the sealing effect, thereby reducing the frequency of cleaning.

[0057] In one embodiment, the first valve plate 110 is connected to the tea container 21 and can rotate synchronously. That is, by connecting the first valve plate 110 to the tea container 21 and rotating synchronously, the operating area for rotation is increased, thereby further improving the ease of operation. At this time, the rotating component 210 is connected to the first valve plate 110 and can rotate synchronously.

[0058] In one embodiment, the second sealing assembly 23 further includes a guide post 230 connected to the second valve plate 120, the end of the guide post 230 being threadedly connected to an adjusting member 240, the end of the adjusting member 240 having an abutment portion.

[0059] The sealing plate 220 is slidably sleeved on the guide post 230, and an elastic element 250 is provided between the abutting part of the sealing plate 220 and the adjusting member 240. The elastic element 250 applies a pushing force to the sealing plate 220, so that the sealing plate 220 remains in contact with the rotating member 210 when it moves up and down along the guide post 230. That is, the sealing plate 220 is reset through the guide post 230, the adjusting member 240 and the elastic element 250, which further improves the sealing reliability.

[0060] Furthermore, by arranging the guide post 230, the adjusting member 240, and the elastic member 250, the elastic member 250 is positioned below the sealing plate 220, thereby effectively controlling the distance between the first sealing component 22 and the second sealing component 23, that is, controlling the overall thickness of the first sealing component 22 and the second sealing component 23, as well as the space occupied by the water cup, so that the water cup can have a larger capacity.

[0061] Meanwhile, the adjusting member 240 is located below the sealing plate 220, and the elastic member 250 applies upward thrust, which is beneficial to the assembly of the second sealing component 23, and the sealing degree of the sealing plate 220 can be adjusted by adjusting the spiral depth of the adjusting member 240 and the guide post 230, thereby compatibility with manufacturing and other assembly errors, reducing costs, and facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the second sealing component 23, thus improving the user experience.

[0062] In one embodiment, the tea storage sealing mechanism further includes a connecting cylinder 24, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first valve plate 110. For example, the edge nesting rotation is achieved by the connecting cylinder 24 to surround the second sealing component 23, which facilitates storage.

[0063] In one embodiment, the connecting cylinder 24 is further provided with a bearing portion at one end near the first valve plate 110, and a rotating member 210 is provided above the bearing portion.

[0064] A sealing ring 260 is provided on the side of the bearing part away from the rotating part 210. The water sealing plate can move up and down to abut against the sealing ring 260 to seal the tea compartment 21.

[0065] In one embodiment, a limiting cavity is formed between the rotating member 210 and the first valve plate 110, and the second valve plate 120 is rotatably disposed in the limiting cavity through its edge, which facilitates assembly.

[0066] Please see Figure 3-5 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first valve plate 110 in this application; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the first valve plate 110 from another angle in this application; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second valve plate 120 in this application.

[0067] In one embodiment, the first valve plate 110 has a symmetrically arranged first sealing portion 111 and opening portion 112, and the second valve plate 120 has a symmetrically arranged second sealing portion 121 and filtering portion 122. Thus, when the first valve plate 110 and the second valve plate 120 rotate so that the opening portion 112 and the filtering portion 122 overlap, the first sealing assembly 22 opens the tea chamber 21; when the first valve plate 110 and the second valve plate 120 rotate so that the first sealing portion 111 and the filtering portion 122 overlap, the first sealing assembly 22 closes the tea chamber 21.

[0068] Preferably, the first valve plate 110 is located above the second valve plate 120, that is, the filter section 122 is positioned below it, so that when the first valve plate 110 and the second valve plate 120 are closed, the first sealing part 111 and the second sealing part 121 directly contact the tea leaves in the tea compartment 21, preventing the tea leaves in the storage state from getting stuck in the filter section 122, which would cause the first valve plate 110 and the second valve plate 120 to further crush the tea leaves when they rotate relative to each other, or even cause them to rotate poorly and require frequent cleaning.

[0069] Preferably, the guide post 230 is disposed on the second sealing part 121, that is, the guide post 230 is eccentrically disposed on the second valve plate 120 and located on the side away from the outlet of the first sealing component 22, that is, the first outlet, so as to avoid encroaching on the first outlet, ensuring the size of the first outlet, and thus ensuring the efficiency of water inlet and outlet.

[0070] Furthermore, by setting the guide post 230 in the closed part of the second valve plate 120, the size of the guide post 230 can be set more flexibly, that is, the guide post 230 can be set to be thicker, thereby improving the stability of the water sealing plate 220 moving up and down along the guide post 230.

[0071] Please see Figure 6-8 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the rotating component 210 of this application; Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the rotating component 210 from another angle in this application; Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the sealing sheet 220 of this application.

[0072] In one embodiment, the sealing plate 220 has two pushing portions 221 facing the rotating member 210. The rotating member 210 has two spiral inclined surfaces 211 corresponding to the two pushing portions 221. The pushing portions 221 of the sealing plate 220 and the corresponding spiral inclined surfaces 211 of the rotating member 210 slide and push together to drive the sealing plate 220 to move up and down. The structure is simple and the transmission is reliable.

[0073] Preferably, the path of the spiral inclined surface 211 is at least half a turn, and the first valve plate 110 and the second valve plate 120 can rotate relative to each other by at least 180°, thereby ensuring that the first sealing component 22 can form the maximum outlet, ensuring the water inlet and outlet efficiency of the first sealing component 22, and ensuring that the second sealing component 23 can also move up and down for a longer period of time, thereby forming a larger outlet, ensuring the water inlet and outlet efficiency of the second sealing component 23. The two work together to ensure the overall water inlet and outlet efficiency.

[0074] More preferably, the lines connecting the two pushers 221 and the guide post 230 form a triangle, that is, the two pushers 221 and the guide post 230 provide triangular support for the sealing plate 220, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the sealing plate 220. Especially when the entire cup is inverted for tea brewing or when the cup is upright for tea and water separation, it can avoid the initial water flow from impacting the sealing plate 220 unevenly, and prevent the sealing plate 220 from tilting significantly, resulting in an incomplete circumferential outlet, affecting the water inlet and outlet efficiency, or even causing damage to the sealing plate 220.

[0075] Furthermore, due to the relatively long path of the spiral inclined plane 211, the slope is relatively small, which allows it to hover at any position and control the size of the opening at the bottom of the tea hopper 21, thereby controlling the efficiency of water inflow and outflow.

[0076] In one embodiment, the first valve plate 110 and the second valve plate 120 rotate relative to each other to form a first outlet, thereby opening the tea compartment 21.

[0077] The water-sealing plate 220 is correspondingly arranged with the second valve plate 120, so that the water-sealing plate 220 is positioned below the second valve plate 120, thereby achieving a second sealing and isolation of the tea compartment 21. Preferably, the diameter of the tea compartment 21 and the cup body 1 are basically the same. In this case, the diameters of the first valve plate 110, the second valve plate 120, and the water-sealing plate 220 are basically the same as the diameter of the cup body 1, thus making the tea compartment sealing mechanism structure relatively simple and easy to clean.

[0078] Two push-up parts 221 are located on the axis of symmetry of the sealing plate 220 and are set close to the edge of the sealing plate 220. The guide post 230 is eccentrically set on the second valve plate 120 and is located on the side away from the first outlet. This allows the elastic element 250 to apply a deflection force to the sealing plate 220. As the sealing plate 220 moves downward and opens, the two push-up parts 221, which are basically symmetrically set, make the sealing plate 220 have an initial basic horizontal state. However, due to the deflection force applied by the elastic element 250 to the sealing plate 220, the sealing plate 220 gradually deviates during the actual downward movement. That is, the circumferential outlet of the sealing plate 220 is uneven, and the outlet corresponding to the first outlet is larger. Therefore, when water is poured directly through the tea caddy and the tea caddy sealing mechanism, the overall water outlet channel is larger, ensuring the water output efficiency under the dual outlet setting.

[0079] In one embodiment, the guide post 230 has a circumferential limiting structure to restrict the water sealing plate 220 from rotating around the guide post 230, thereby preventing the water sealing plate 220 from rotating during its up-and-down movement and causing it to jam, thus further improving the sealing reliability.

[0080] The circumferential limiting mechanism can be a combination of limiting protrusions and limiting grooves, or it can be a polygonal limiting mechanism. Preferably, the guide post 230 is a hexagonal prism, which provides good limiting effect and is easy to clean.

[0081] In one embodiment, the middle of the sealing plate 220 is recessed away from the abutment portion of the adjusting member 240 to form a receiving area. The elastic member 250 is located within the receiving area, which can further control the thickness of the second sealing component 23 and the space occupied by the water cup, allowing the water cup to have a larger capacity. Furthermore, it improves the overall integrity of the second sealing component 23, resulting in fewer protruding parts when the tea container sealing mechanism is separated from the water cup, making it easier to place and store.

[0082] Please see again Figure 2 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, a guide groove 212 is provided on the side of the rotating member 210 facing the bearing portion of the connecting cylinder 24, and a guide block 213 is provided on the bearing portion corresponding to the guide groove 212. The central angle of the guide groove 212 is not less than 180°, so as to avoid hindering the rotation operation and improve the rotation stability and reliability of the rotating member 210.
