Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea brewing device technology, specifically a waterproof drip spout for a tea brewing device. Background Technology
[0002] Tea brewing devices, such as tea makers or tea barrels, are commonly used tea-drinking equipment in people's daily lives and work, allowing for convenient and readily available tea. A typical tea brewing device includes a container (such as a tea barrel) for holding tea and a spout connected to the container. The spout allows the tea to flow out of the container. The spout usually has a press-type sealing structure. Pressing the movable part of the spout connects the spout's channel to the inside of the container, allowing tea to flow out. Conversely, after dispensing tea, releasing the press returns the spout to its initial position, sealing the channel back to the container and preventing further tea flow.
[0003] Existing tea brewing devices require a sealing assembly to maintain a tight seal between the spout and container, preventing tea leakage and ensuring a leak-proof seal. However, this method is complex, involving numerous components. A typical sealing assembly includes a sealing ring, clamps, and a locking nut. The seal is located at the junction of the spout and container; the clamps secure the sealing ring to the spout; and the locking nut tightens both the sealing ring and the clamp. This complex structure increases costs. Furthermore, if one or more of these components loosens, tea will leak again, failing to provide a proper underwater leak-proof seal.
[0004] Therefore, a tea spout with fewer parts and a simpler structure is needed to achieve a waterproof and drip-proof design. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a waterproof tea spout for a tea brewing device, which can solve the problems described in the background art.
[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is as follows: a waterproof tea spout for a tea brewing device, comprising a tea container, a spring, a sealing assembly, and a water collecting assembly. The tea container includes a cavity and an opening, with the opening communicating with the cavity. The sealing assembly has a channel inside, and the sealing assembly passes through the opening from one side of the cavity and connects to the water collecting assembly. One side of the sealing assembly is located inside the cavity, and the other side passes through the opening and is located outside the cavity. The sealing assembly can slide freely along the axial direction of the opening, and the sealing assembly can reach at least a first position and a second position.
[0007] When the sealing component reaches the first position, the channel of the sealing component connects with the cavity, allowing the tea inside the cavity to drain out through the channel. When the sealing component reaches the second position, the channel of the sealing component seals the cavity.
[0008] The water collection component is located outside the opening, and the spring is sleeved on the part of the sealing component that extends out of the opening. One end of the spring abuts against the water collection component, and the other end abuts against the tea container.
[0009] Furthermore, the tea container is provided with an annular protective plate at the end near the outlet. The annular protective plate has an opening and is located on one side of the sealing component and the water collection component.
[0010] Furthermore, the sealing assembly includes a sealing plate, a movable post, and a threaded post. The sealing plate is connected to one end of the movable post, and the threaded post is connected to the other end of the movable post.
[0011] The movable column has a first through hole inside, and several water inlet and outlet through holes are provided on the side wall of the movable column. The water inlet and outlet through holes are all connected to the first through hole. The water inlet through holes are located at the end of the side wall near the sealing plate, and the outlet through holes are located at the end of the side wall near the threaded column.
[0012] The outer surface of the sidewall of the movable column is a smooth curved surface. A second through hole is provided inside the threaded column, which communicates with the first through hole. The first and second through holes together form the channel of the sealing assembly. The outer surface of the threaded column is provided with external threads.
[0013] The sealing plate is located inside the cavity of the tea container. The end of the movable column near the threaded column passes through the opening, and the threaded column is connected to the water collection assembly outside the opening.
[0014] The spring is sleeved on the threaded column and the movable column.
[0015] Furthermore, the first through hole is arranged along the axial direction of the movable column, and each water inlet through hole is arranged around the side wall along the circumference of the movable column, and each water outlet through hole is also arranged around the side wall along the circumference of the movable column.
[0016] Furthermore, the diameter of the sealing plate is larger than the diameter of the movable column, and the diameter of the movable column is larger than the diameter of the threaded column.
[0017] Furthermore, the central axes of the sealing plate, the movable column, and the threaded column all coincide.
[0018] Furthermore, the sealing plate, movable column, and threaded column are integrated into a single structure.
[0019] Furthermore, the water collection assembly includes a water collection box and a locking plate. The water collection box is fixedly or detachably installed on the side of the locking plate near the sealing assembly. The water collection box has a third through hole penetrating the water collection box, and the locking plate has a fourth through hole penetrating the locking plate. The third through hole and the fourth through hole are connected. The water collection box has a groove, and the third through hole is located in the groove. The groove is connected to the water outlet through hole.
[0020] The inner wall of the third through hole and / or the fourth through hole is provided with an internal thread, which matches the external thread.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a drip-proof tea spout for a tea brewing device includes a tea container 2, a spring 3, a sealing assembly 1, and a water collecting assembly 4. The tea container 2 includes a cavity and an opening, with the opening communicating with the cavity. The sealing assembly 1 has a channel inside, and it passes through the opening from one side of the cavity and connects to the water collecting assembly 4. One side of the sealing assembly 1 is located inside the cavity, and the other side passes through the opening and is located outside the cavity. The sealing assembly 1 can slide freely along the axial direction of the opening, and it can reach at least a first position and a second position, causing the water collecting assembly 4 connected to the sealing assembly 1 to move closer to or further away from the opening. When the sealing assembly 1 reaches the first position, the channel of the sealing assembly 1 communicates with the cavity, allowing the tea in the cavity to be discharged to the outside through the channel, so that the tea can be collected by an external container (such as a water cup). When the sealing assembly 1 reaches the second position, the channel of the sealing assembly 1 is sealed to the cavity, so that the channel and the cavity are no longer in communication, and the tea in the cavity can no longer be discharged through the channel. This allows for the following scenario: When tea is needed, a cup or other container is placed in the corresponding position of the channel, for example, directly below an electrical outlet. Then, the sealing component 1 is moved to the first position, causing the tea in the tea container 2 to flow out and into the cup, completing the tea dispensing process. Once the cup is full, the sealing component 1 is moved to the second position, preventing any further tea from flowing out and thus avoiding waste. This allows for dispensing tea whenever needed.
[0033] For example, the tea container 2 is also provided with an annular protective plate 5 near the outlet. The annular protective plate 5 has an opening and is located on one side of the sealing assembly 1 and the water collecting assembly 4. The annular protective plate 5 serves a protective function.
[0034] The water collection component 4 is located outside the opening, that is, on the side of the opening away from the cavity. The spring 3 is sleeved on the part of the sealing component 1 that extends out of the opening, with one end of the spring 3 abutting against the water collection component 4 and the other end abutting against the tea container 2.
[0035] When an external force is applied to the water collecting component 4, causing it to move closer to the opening (e.g., by pressing the water collecting component 4 with a hand), the water collecting component 4 moves the sealing component 1, causing it to slide along the opening axis into the cavity, reaching the first position. Conversely, when the external force is released or applied to the water collecting component 4, causing it to move away from the opening, the water collecting component 4 moves the sealing component 1, causing it to slide along the opening axis outwards from the cavity, reaching the second position.
[0036] When an external force is applied to the water collection component 4, the spring 3 is either compressed, stretched, or remains in a natural state (i.e., neither compressed nor stretched).
[0037] The sealing assembly 1 includes a sealing plate 11, a movable post 12, and a threaded post 13. The sealing plate 11 is connected to one end of the movable post 12, and the threaded post 13 is connected to the other end of the movable post 12. The diameter of the sealing plate 11 is larger than the diameter of the movable post 12, and the diameter of the movable post 12 is larger than the diameter of the threaded post 13. The central axes of the sealing plate 11, the movable post 12, and the threaded post 13 coincide, that is, the three central axes are kept on the same straight line.
[0038] For example, the sealing plate 11, the movable column 12, and the threaded column 13 are an integral structure.
[0039] The movable column 12 has a first through hole arranged along its axial direction. Several water inlet holes 121 and water outlet holes 122 are provided on the side wall of the movable column 12. Both the water inlet holes 121 and the water outlet holes 122 are connected to the first through hole. The water inlet holes 121 are located at the end of the side wall near the sealing plate 11, and the water outlet holes 122 are located at the end of the side wall near the threaded column 13. Each water inlet hole 121 and each water outlet hole 122 are arranged circumferentially around the side wall of the movable column 12.
[0040] The outer surface of the sidewall of the movable column 12 is a smooth curved surface, and the movable column 12 is cylindrical. A second through hole is provided inside the threaded column 13, which communicates with the first through hole. The first and second through holes together form the channel of the sealing assembly 1. The outer surface of the threaded column 13 is provided with external threads.
[0041] The sealing plate 11 is located inside the cavity of the tea container 2, and the end of the movable column 12 near the threaded column 13 passes through the opening. The threaded column 13 is connected to the water collection assembly 4 outside the opening.
[0042] The spring 3 is sleeved on the threaded post 13 and the movable post 12.
[0043] For example, the water inlet hole 121 is elongated, and the water outlet hole 122 is circular. The size of the water inlet hole 121 is larger than that of the water outlet hole 122.
[0044] For example, the outer edge of the sealing plate 11 is provided with one or more first flat parts 111, which are not conducive to picking up the sealing component 1. For example, the fingers of a human hand can easily grasp the first flat part 111, thereby making it easier to pick up the sealing component 1.
[0045] The water collection assembly 4 includes a water collection box 41 and a locking plate 42. The water collection box 41 is fixedly or detachably installed on the side of the locking plate 42 near the sealing assembly 1, that is, installed on the inner side of the sealing assembly 1. The water collection box 41 is provided with a third through hole (not shown in the figure) penetrating the water collection box 41, and the locking plate 42 is provided with a fourth through hole penetrating the locking plate 42. The third through hole and the fourth through hole constitute the perforation of the water collection assembly 4, and the third through hole and the fourth through hole are connected. The water collection box 41 is provided with a groove, and the third through hole is located in the groove. The groove is connected to the water outlet hole 122. The groove is used to guide and collect the tea water flowing out from the gap, which refers to the gap between the movable column 12 and the opening. The tea collected in the groove eventually flows into the channel through the water outlet 122, and is finally discharged from the channel, achieving waterproofing and preventing tea from dripping onto the table or the ground. Instead, the bucket collects the tea and lets it flow out of the channel, allowing the tea to flow into a designated location, such as by setting an external container to let the tea from the leaks flow into the container.
[0046] The inner wall of the third through hole and / or the fourth through hole is provided with an internal thread, which matches the external thread. The threaded post 13 is threadedly connected to the third through hole and the fourth through hole, so that the threaded post 13 is threadedly connected to the water collection box 41 and the locking piece 42. The threaded post 13 passes through the third through hole and the fourth through hole in sequence, so that at least a part of the threaded post 13 extends to the outside of the locking piece 42.
[0047] For example, the groove of the water collection box 41 is provided with a plurality of stepped protrusions 411, each stepped protrusion 411 is arranged around the third through hole, and a strip groove 4111 is provided on the stepped protrusion 411. The spring 3 is embedded and limited in the strip groove 4111, thereby abutting one end of the spring 3 against the water collection assembly 4.
[0048] For example, the outer edge of the locking piece 42 is provided with one or more second flat portions 421 to facilitate the removal of the water collection assembly 4.
[0049] Working principle: When a person presses the locking plate 42, the locking plate 42 compresses the spring 3, causing the threaded post 13 and the movable post 12 to move along the opening into the cavity of the tea container 2, so that the sealing assembly 1 reaches the first position. At this time, the sealing plate 11 disengages from the inner wall of the cavity and maintains a gap, so that the cavity of the tea container 2 is connected to the water receiving hole 121, thereby connecting the cavity with the channel of the sealing assembly 1. Tea flows into the first through hole through the water receiving hole 121, and then passes through the second through hole, the third through hole, and the fourth through hole in sequence, thus allowing the tea to flow out through the channel, completing the tea receiving process. After the person releases their hand, the force is released, and under the rebound action of the spring 3, the locking plate 42 causes the threaded post 13 and the movable post 12 to move along the opening out of the cavity of the tea container 2, so that the sealing assembly 1 reaches the second position. At this point, the sealing plate 11 returns to its initial position, tightly adhering to the inner wall of the cavity, thus sealing the cavity of the tea container 2 with the water inlet 121, preventing further communication and thus preventing tea from draining out through the channel. Tea leakage occurs through the tiny gaps between the sealing plate 11 and the inner wall, and between the movable column 12 and the opening. The leaked tea flows along the outer surface of the threaded column 13 and into the groove of the water collection box 41. Once the water collection box 41 has collected a certain amount of tea, the tea flows from the water outlet 122 into the second through-hole, and then through the second, third, and fourth through-holes to drain out, effectively preventing water from leaking out of the side gaps.
[0050] This invention requires fewer components, has a simpler structure, is easier to maintain, and is less expensive, while still achieving excellent waterproofing and leak-proofing effects.
[0051] The embodiments disclosed in this specification are merely illustrative of one aspect of the features of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to this embodiment, and any other functionally equivalent embodiments fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various other corresponding changes and modifications based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
