[0021] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed description will be omitted.
[0022] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” and “the” are used to indicate the existence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended meaning of inclusion and that other elements / components / etc. may exist in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.
[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a tea-water separator, comprising a teapot body 1, a filter screen 2, and a spout cap 3.
[0024] The lower part of the teapot body 1 has a tea soup receiving cavity, and the upper part of the teapot body 1 has a brewing cavity. The upper end of the brewing cavity has an upward-facing opening for water to enter and tea leaves to be placed. There is a partition 121 integrally formed with the teapot body 1 between the tea soup receiving cavity and the brewing cavity.
[0025] The filter screen 2 has micropores arranged in an array. The filter screen 2 is detachably mounted on the partition 121. The brewing chamber is connected to the tea soup receiving chamber through the filter screen 2. The teapot body 1 has a tea soup outflow channel 13 connected to the tea soup receiving chamber. The spout 3 is detachable or movable and mounted on one end of the tea soup outlet of the tea soup outflow channel 13 to open and close the tea soup outflow channel 13.
[0026] When it is time to brew tea, the spout 3 is installed on the tea outlet end of the tea outlet channel 13 to seal the tea outlet, so that the air in the tea container cavity cannot be discharged from the tea outlet channel 13.
[0027] Pour the tea leaves into the brewing chamber, and then pour water into the brewing chamber to soak the tea leaves. At this time, due to the tension effect of water on the surface of the filter holes, each filter hole of the filter screen 2 is blocked, and the static water pressure in the brewing chamber and the air pressure in the tea soup receiving chamber reach an upper and lower balance, so that the tea water in the brewing chamber cannot enter the tea soup receiving chamber.
[0028] When the tea leaves have reached the steeping time, remove the spout 3 to allow the air in the tea soup container to be discharged through the tea soup outflow channel 13. At this time, the air pressure in the tea soup container is less than the static water pressure in the brewing chamber above, so the tea water flows from the brewing chamber through the filter holes of the filter screen 2 due to gravity into the tea soup container.
[0029] When you want to drink tea, simply tilt the teapot body 1 and pour the tea into a teacup through the tea outlet 13. The entire brewing process does not require multiple containers or repeated pouring, which can fully separate the tea leaves and the tea soup, making it simple to operate and reducing space occupation.
[0030] For example, the brewing chamber has a volume of 50-400ml, the tea container 11 has a volume of 100-600ml, the filter 2 has an overall diameter of 20-80mm, and the filter 2 has a mesh size of 7-200.
[0031] For example, filter screen 2 is made by drilling micropores in a smooth hard stainless steel sheet, smooth ceramic sheet, or glass sheet, so that water can generate tension on the surface of filter screen 2 to form a water film to block the filter pores.
[0032] For example, filter screen 2 is a stainless steel wire mesh.
[0033] For example, the brewing chamber is cylindrical, with an opening diameter of 40-130mm and a depth of 20-90mm.
[0034] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the teapot body 1 is made of any material among ceramic, metal, and glass.

The tea soup receiving cavity is located inside the tea container 11, and the brewing cavity is located inside the tea chamber 12.
[0035] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a lid 4 is also included. The lid 4 is disposed on the upper end of the tea chamber 12 to open and close the tea chamber 12, prevent dust from entering, and prevent tea leaves from being poured out of the tea chamber 12 when pouring tea.
[0036] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the tea container 12 has an annular step 122 near the upper port. When the lid 4 is installed in place, the lower edge of the lid 4 abuts against the annular step 122.
[0037] like Figure 1-2As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the spout 3 is a semi-closed cylindrical structure with an opening, and the spout 3 is fitted onto the tea soup outflow channel 13.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the spout cap 3 includes a cylindrical plug 31 and a head 32. One end of the cylindrical plug 31 is fixedly connected to the head 32 or integrally formed. When the cylindrical plug 31 is inserted into the tea outlet of the tea outlet channel 13, the lower end face of the head 32 abuts against the end edge of the tea outlet. The head 32 can be shaped to improve the overall aesthetics.
[0039] Preferably, the nozzle 3 is made of food-grade silicone, which has elastic deformation properties to improve sealing.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the tea soup outlet of the tea soup outlet channel 13 has a mounting base, and one end of the spout 3 is movably mounted on the mounting base via a mounting shaft, so that the spout 3 is always connected to the tea soup outlet channel 13 regardless of whether it is open or closed, preventing the spout 3 from being discarded and thus becoming unusable.
[0041] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the teapot body 1 also has a handle 14 for easy pouring of tea. The handle 14 is integrally formed with the teapot body 1 to improve structural strength.
