Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of teacups, and in particular to a tea container and lid connection structure with anti-overflow features. Background Technology

[0002] An overflow-proof tea container is a type of container designed to store tea leaves and prevent them from spilling. It is commonly used in glass cups, office mugs, or insulated flasks.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN207679259U discloses a cup lid with a filter and a teacup using the same lid. The lid includes an upper cover, a lower cover, and a filter. The upper cover is a circular cover positioned above the lower cover and is fixed to it by threads. The lower cover includes a lower cover body and a surrounding wall below the lower cover body; the filter is positioned below the lower cover body and within the surrounding wall. The lower cover body is also connected and fixed to the filter at its lower end. The filter is a hollow cylinder with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the surrounding wall below the lower cover body, and a height greater than the height of the surrounding wall. The cylindrical sidewalls of the filter have several small holes, and the bottom surface of the filter is a mesh-like second filter sheet. A teacup using the aforementioned cup lid with a filter is also disclosed. The provided cup lid with a filter and teacup using the same lid are characterized by simple structure, ease of use, and easy control of tea steeping time.

[0004] However, the aforementioned teacups have some shortcomings in actual use:

[0005] 1. Firstly, in the existing technology, when removing the tea container from a teacup, it is necessary to first lift the tea container to a certain height, then let it stand until the tea soup flows out of the round hole of the tea container, and then remove the tea container. However, it should be noted that after the tea leaves are steeped, they will absorb a lot of water. Even after the tea soup on the surface has flowed out, a lot of tea soup will still remain between the tea leaves and cannot be completely drained. At this time, when the lid and tea container are removed, due to vibration, some tea soup will still drip quickly on the outside in the form of water droplets, causing tea soup leakage and affecting the surrounding environment.

[0006] 2. Secondly, in the existing technology, the overflow prevention tea container of the tea cup is installed on the main body of the tea cup, which makes it inconvenient to pick up, and the overflow prevention tea container has poor stability.

[0007] Therefore, based on the above-stated viewpoints, there is still room for improvement in existing teacups. Utility Model Content

[0008] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a tea container and cup lid connection structure with anti-overflow features, adopting the following technical solution:

[0009] The tea cup has a water-proof tea container and lid connection structure, including a tea cup body with a cavity for holding tea soup and the cavity opening facing upwards. The tea cup body has a cylindrical structure.

[0010] The lid is fitted onto the opening at the top of the teacup body, sealing the cavity of the teacup body.

[0011] The overflow-proof tea compartment is inserted into the bottom of the cup lid and has an opening for storing tea leaves.

[0012] The overflow-proof tea compartment has several drainage holes at equal intervals on its side walls and bottom half area.

[0013] Preferably, the teacup body has a double-layer structure, and the double-layer structure of the teacup body has a heat-insulating cavity that serves to keep the temperature warm.

[0014] Preferably, a connector is integrally installed on the side wall of the teacup body, and the connector is screwed to install a teacup handle that moves the teacup body. A decorative groove is also provided on the teacup handle, and a decorative piece is snapped into the decorative groove of the teacup handle.

[0015] Preferably, the cup lid is composed of a T-shaped handle and a lid body, and the lid body is also provided with a heat-insulating cavity, and the handle is installed at the top center of the lid body.

[0016] Preferably, an annular leak-proof ring is fitted at the position where the cup lid contacts the teacup body, and the annular leak-proof ring is integrally provided with several leak-proof protrusions at equal intervals.

[0017] Preferably, an annular sealing ring is fitted at the position where the cup lid and the anti-overflow tea compartment are inserted, and the annular sealing ring is integrally provided with several annular sealing protrusions.

[0018] Preferably, a right-angled block is integrally provided on one side of the annular sealing ring, and the right-angled block is attached to the bottom of the cup lid.

[0019] Preferably, the top of the overflow-proof tea compartment is curved outwards, and the diameter of the top of the overflow-proof tea compartment is larger than the diameter of the middle part of the overflow-proof tea compartment.

[0020] Preferably, a water-filling warning line is engraved on the inner wall of the teacup body.

[0021] Preferably, the bottom of the teacup body is concave, and the bottom of the teacup body is provided with a wear-resistant and non-slip coating.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The overflow-proof tea container of this utility model has one half of a sealed structure and the other half of a hollow structure. When the overflow-proof tea container needs to be taken out, it is tilted to the hollow structure end to facilitate the overflow of tea soup mixed in with the tea leaves. After the tea soup has overflowed, the overflow-proof tea container is tilted to the sealed structure end. In this way, the overflow-proof tea container and the cup lid can be moved at will. This not only enables the rapid filtration of tea soup, but also prevents tea soup from dripping outside when the cup lid is moved, thus preventing the tea soup from affecting the external environment.

[0024] Second, the annular leak-proof ring of this utility model can ensure the sealing between the teacup body and the lid, and prevent the tea from leaking due to the movement of the teacup; the annular sealing ring of this utility model, together with the annular sealing protrusion, can realize the quick installation of the overflow-proof tea compartment and the lid, and after the two are installed, they can effectively ensure the stability of the overflow-proof tea compartment, and prevent the tea leaves from affecting the stability of the connection between the overflow-proof tea compartment and the lid after absorbing water.

[0034] The following combination Figures 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0035] This application discloses a tea container and cup lid connection structure with anti-overflow feature; it is mainly used in various types of teacups to ensure a more thorough separation between tea leaves and tea soup, and can also effectively prevent tea soup leakage when the cup lid 2 is removed.

[0036] Firstly, in the existing technology, when removing the tea container from the teacup, it is necessary to first lift the tea container to a certain height, then let it stand until the tea soup flows out of the round hole of the tea container, and then remove the tea container. However, it should be noted that after the tea leaves are steeped, they will absorb a lot of water. Even after the tea soup on the surface has flowed out, a lot of tea soup will still remain between the tea leaves and cannot be completely drained. At this time, when the lid 2 and the tea container are removed, due to vibration, some tea soup will still drip quickly to the outside in the form of water droplets, causing tea soup leakage and affecting the surrounding environment.

[0037] Secondly, in the existing technology, after the tea leaves are filled into the tea cup, the weight of the tea leaves increases after soaking, which makes it easy for the tea cup lid 2 to fall off. Furthermore, when adding tea leaves to the tea cup lid 3, it is necessary to hold the tea cup lid 3 to separate it from the lid 2, which can easily cause contamination of the subsequent tea soup.

[0038] Based on the above problems, this application proposes a tea container and cup lid connection structure with anti-overflow to effectively solve the above problems.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this application proposes a tea container and cup lid connection structure with anti-overflow design, which is mainly used in various types of office cups and glass cups. It includes a tea cup body 1 with a cavity 14 for holding tea soup and the cavity 14 opening upwards. The tea cup has a cylindrical structure. The tea cup body 1 can be made of wood, glass or metal. This application takes edible stainless steel as an example.

[0040] The teacup body 1 has a double-layer structure, and the double-layer structure of the teacup body 1 has a heat-insulating cavity 10 that has a heat-insulating function.

[0041] The teacup body 1 adopts a double-layer structure, so there is a gap in the middle of the teacup body 1, which is the heat-insulating cavity 10; the heat-insulating cavity 10 is a vacuum or air layer.

[0042] When hot water is poured into the cavity 14 of the teacup body 1, the heat-insulating cavity 10 is a poor conductor of heat, which can effectively block heat transfer, thereby slowing down heat loss, keeping the hot water warm and the cold drink cold.

[0043] In addition, a lid 2 is fitted onto the main body 1 of the teacup to seal the cavity 14 of the teacup. (See reference...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an annular leak-proof ring 40 is fitted at the position where the cup lid 2 contacts the teacup body 1, and several leak-proof protrusions 41 are integrally provided at equal intervals on the annular leak-proof ring 40.

[0044] When hot water is poured into the teacup body 1 and the lid 2 is placed on top, the cavity 14 of the teacup body 1 is sealed with the help of the annular anti-leak ring 40. This prevents the tea from leaking out of the gap between the teacup body 1 and the lid 2 due to shaking when the teacup body 1 is moved. At the same time, the annular anti-leak ring 40 helps to keep the hot water inside the teacup body 1 warm and slows down heat loss.

[0045] It should be noted that the annular leak-proof ring 40 is made of annular silicone material and is heat-resistant to prevent it from deforming due to heat.

[0046] Let's look again. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the specific structure of the cup lid 2 in this application. The cup lid 2 is composed of a T-shaped handle 20 and a lid body 21. The lid body 21 is also provided with a heat-insulating cavity 10. The handle 20 is installed at the top center of the lid body 21.

[0047] The T-shaped handle 20 is screwed onto the top of the cover 21. Because the T-shaped handle 20 is frequently used and is easy to access, it is generally made of wood. However, it should be noted that the wooden handle 20 may discolor, deform, or break after prolonged use. Therefore, to facilitate the replacement of the handle 20, it is installed on the top of the cover 21 by means of a threaded connection. In this way, the handle 20 can be quickly replaced by rotating it.

[0048] When you need to use the teacup to brew tea, simply hold the handle 20 to separate the lid 21 from the teacup body 1. Then, put an appropriate amount of tea leaves into the overflow-proof tea compartment 3, and pour hot water into the teacup body 1. Then, reinstall the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 onto the lid 21 of the teacup, and then hold the handle 20 again to control the lid 21 to cover the teacup body 1.

[0049] After tea leaves are steeped in hot water to form a tea infusion, the tea leaves need to be separated from the tea infusion to enjoy the delicious tea. However, in the prior art, when separating the tea leaves, a large amount of tea infusion often drips around the teacup body 1 along with the tea leaves and tea container, causing the area around it to become damp or causing unnecessary trouble. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this application proposes an overflow-proof tea container 3, as shown below:

[0050] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 is inserted into the bottom of the cup lid 2, and the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 has a compartment opening for placing tea leaves; the side wall and bottom half area of ​​the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 are provided with several drainage holes 30 at equal intervals.

[0051] It should be noted that the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 has several drainage holes 30 at equal intervals on one side, while the other side of the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 is a solid, sealed state.

[0052] When the control handle 20 and the lid 21 are separated from the teacup body 1, the control lid 21 and the overflow tea compartment 3 are suspended above the teacup body 1, and the side of the overflow tea compartment 3 with equally spaced drainage holes 30 is tilted downward. At this time, the tea leaves in the overflow tea compartment 3 will press against the side of the overflow tea compartment 3 with drainage holes 30, and the tea soup mixed in the tea leaves will flow down through the drainage holes 30 into the interior of the teacup body 1 to prevent the tea soup from leaking.

[0053] When almost no tea soup flows down in the overflow-proof tea container 3, rotate the overflow-proof tea container 3 to the other side, causing the other side of the overflow-proof tea container 3 to tilt downwards. At this time, the tea leaves in the overflow-proof tea container 3 will be pressed against the solid seal side of the overflow-proof tea container 3, and almost no tea soup, but still a little bit, will be stored in the solid seal structure of the overflow-proof tea container 3. At this time, no matter how the lid 2 is moved, the tea soup will not leak.

[0054] After the cup lid 2 is moved to the appropriate position, it is placed upside down on the table. Only a little tea soup remains inside the cup lid 2. At this time, the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 is sealed inside the lid body 21 of the cup lid 2. The little tea soup cannot flow out from the drain hole 30 of the overflow-proof tea compartment 3, nor will it flow out from the gap between the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 and the lid body 21. Therefore, an annular sealing ring 50 is provided at the insertion position of the cup lid 2 and the overflow-proof tea compartment 3. Several annular sealing protrusions 51 are integrally provided on the annular sealing ring 50.

[0055] The annular sealing protrusion 51 tightly abuts against the opening of the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 and seals it. At this time, the tea soup remaining in the cup lid 2 and the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 will be confined between the two to prevent leakage.

[0056] To ensure the sealing between the annular sealing ring 50 and the lid 21 of the cup lid 2, this application also proposes a right-angle block 52. The right-angle block 52 is integrally provided on one side of the annular sealing ring 50 and is attached to the bottom of the cup lid 2.

[0057] The bottom of the lid 21 of the cup lid 2 is a smooth and flat structure, and the right-angle block 52 is a silicone structure. When the right-angle block 52 is attached to the bottom of the lid 21, it can ensure that the right-angle block 52 is adsorbed on the bottom of the lid 21.

[0058] The porous structure and high specific surface area of ​​silica gel enable it to contact metal surfaces through physical adsorption. This process is based on intermolecular forces (van der Waals forces). Although the adsorption force is relatively small, the microporous structure of silica gel increases the adsorption area when it comes into contact with the metal surface, thereby enhancing the adsorption force.

[0059] Therefore, the right-angle block 52 adheres to the bottom of the lid 21 of the cup lid 2 by adsorption, which can ensure the stability of the installation between the annular sealing ring 50 and the side wall of the lid 21 and prevent the annular sealing ring 50 from separating from the lid 21.

[0060] Once the lid 2 separates from the teacup body 1 and the lid 2 is placed upside down on the table, you can pick up the teacup body 1 and bring it to your mouth to drink the delicious tea, as shown below:

[0061] Let's look again. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a connector 11 is integrally installed on the side wall of the teacup body 1. The connector 11 is screwed to install the teacup handle 12 of the movable teacup body 1. A decorative groove is also provided on the teacup handle 12, and a decorative piece 13 is snapped into the decorative groove of the teacup handle 12.

[0062] When you want to drink tea, hold the teacup handle 12 on one side of the teacup body 1, and then you can control the teacup body 1 to be close to your mouth to drink the tea. The teacup handle 12 of this application is installed on the connector 11 by screwing. The teacup handle 12 can be made of wood, glass or metal. However, this application takes a wooden teacup handle 12 as an example. The wooden teacup handle 12 is comfortable to hold, but it is easy to be damaged. Therefore, the screwing method makes it easy to replace the teacup handle 12.

[0063] After all the tea in the teacup body 1 has been consumed, pour hot water back into it. Then, place the lid 2 on the teacup body 1 and insert the anti-overflow tea compartment 3 at the bottom of the lid 2 into the teacup body 1 to soak it in hot water. After soaking for the specified time, repeat the above operation to separate the tea leaves and drink the tea.

[0064] A decorative piece 13 is also attached to the handle 12 of the teacup. The decorative piece 13 can be touched by the thumb of the hand, thereby increasing the stability of holding the teacup.

[0065] Additionally, it should be noted that the bottom of the teacup body 1 is concave, and the bottom of the teacup body 1 has a wear-resistant and non-slip coating. This wear-resistant and non-slip coating ensures the stability of the teacup body 1 when placed on a table, preventing it from slipping.

[0066] See Figure 7 As shown, a water level warning line 6 is engraved on the inner wall of the teacup body 1. The function of the water level warning line 6 in this application is to indicate the maximum water level; when brewing tea, hot water can be added up to the position of the water level warning line 6.

[0067] Therefore, when hot water is poured into the teacup body 1 above the water level warning line 6, placing the overflow-proof tea container 3 inside the teacup body 1 will cause the hot water to overflow. The water level warning line 6 is engraved to clearly remind tea drinkers and prevent hot water from overflowing and causing injury.

[0068] When working: First, when you need to drink tea, hold the teacup handle 12 on one side of the teacup body 1 and place the teacup body 1 on the table. Hold the handle 20 to separate the lid 21 from the teacup body 1. Then pour hot water into the teacup body 1. It should be noted that the amount of hot water poured into the teacup body 1 should be lower than or equal to the water warning line 6 on the side wall of the teacup body 1.

[0069] Step 2: Next, pull the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 to separate the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 from the cover 21.

[0070] Step 3: Then add an appropriate amount of tea leaves into the overflow-proof tea compartment 3, reassemble the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 with the lid 21, and then put the lid 2 on the teacup body 1 and let it stand for a period of time until the tea soup is formed.

[0071] Step 4: After the tea soup is formed, control the cup lid 2 to separate from the tea cup body 1, and the overflow prevention tea compartment 3 is suspended above the tea cup body 1. Ensure that the side with the drain holes 30 at equal intervals on the overflow prevention tea compartment 3 is tilted downward. At this time, the tea soup will flow down through the drain holes 30 into the interior of the tea cup body 1.

[0072] Step 5: When almost no tea soup flows down in the overflow-proof tea compartment 3, rotate the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 to the other side, so that the other side of the overflow-proof tea compartment 3 tilts downward. At this time, almost no tea soup, but still a little bit, will be stored in the solid sealing structure of the overflow-proof tea compartment 3. At this time, no matter how you move the cup lid 2, the tea soup will not leak.

[0073] Step 6: After the lid 2 is moved to the appropriate position, place the lid 2 upside down on the table. The little bit of tea soup that remains cannot flow out from the drain hole 30 of the overflow tea chamber 3, nor will it flow out from the gap between the overflow tea chamber 3 and the lid 21. Hold the tea cup handle 12 on one side of the tea cup body 1, and then you can control the tea cup body 1 to be close to your mouth to drink the tea soup.

[0074] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
