Detailed Implementation

[0044] The specific implementation of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] Reference Figures 1-4A luminescent tea tray suitable for both wet and dry use includes a main body 1, which is rectangular in shape. A translucent, thin-walled tea-brewing protrusion 11 is provided on the top surface of the main body 1. The main body 1 and the tea-brewing protrusion 11 are integrally formed from stone. A water collection area 12 is formed on the top surface of the main body 1 outside the tea-brewing protrusion 11. A water-retaining edge 13 is provided around the perimeter of the tea tray 1 corresponding to the water collection area 12. The water collection area has drainage holes 14. The bottom surface of the main body 1 also has support legs 2 for stable support. A receiving cavity 10 is formed on the bottom surface of the main body 1 corresponding to the tea-brewing protrusion 11, penetrating the thickness of the main body 1 and extending upwards into the tea-brewing protrusion 11. That is, the inner bottom surface of the receiving cavity 10 is located above the water collection area 12. The tea-brewing protrusion 11 forms a thin-walled protrusion that is translucent on both the top and sides. The thickness of the tea-brewing protrusion 11, including its surface and sidewalls, is controlled to be between 0.45 and 0.55 cm. In this embodiment, the receiving cavity 10 preferably extends into the tea-brewing protrusion 11. This allows for a reduction in the thickness of the tea tray body 1 while ensuring sufficient space for the receiving cavity 10, saving on stone material usage. The sides of the tea-brewing protrusion 11 also allow for uniform light transmission, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Alternatively, the depth of the receiving cavity 10 can be set to be the same as the thickness of the tea tray body 1, meaning the inner bottom surface of the receiving cavity 10 is flush with the bottom surface of the tea-brewing protrusion 11. In this configuration, the tea-brewing protrusion 11 is a thin-walled flat plate with relatively poor light transmission along its side edges; and to ensure sufficient space for the receiving cavity 10, the thickness of the tea tray body 1 needs to be increased.

[0047] Reference Figures 1-4 The top surface of the tea-brewing protrusion 11 is higher than the water collection area 12, serving as a place for placing teaware and for tea brewing. The height of the water-retaining edge 13 is roughly the same as that of the tea-brewing protrusion 11. The water collection area 12 has a drainage slope that slopes towards the drain hole 14, facilitating concentrated drainage. In this embodiment, the tea tray body 1 is equipped with legs 2, allowing the tea tray to be placed directly on the tea table. Of course, if the tea tray body 1 is fitted into an opening in the tea table, the legs 2 are not required. In this embodiment, the tea tray body 1 is rectangular, but it can also be designed as round, oval, or other shapes according to the actual needs of consumers, which are not listed here. The tea-brewing protrusion 11 is not limited to the rectangle shown in the figure and can be changed according to the shape of the tea tray body 1, designed to fit the shape of the tea tray body 1.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3The accommodating cavity 10 houses a light guide plate 31, a light source 32, a circuit board 33, and a battery 34. A sealing cover 4 is fitted into the opening of the accommodating cavity 10. The light guide plate 31 is attached to the inner bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 10, and light sources 32 are evenly distributed between the side of the light guide plate 31 and the side wall of the accommodating cavity 10. The circuit board 33 and the battery 34 are installed between the light guide plate 31 and the sealing cover 4. The sealing cover 4 can be glued to the opening of the accommodating cavity 10 to achieve a liquid seal effect inside the accommodating cavity, preventing tea from seeping into the interior of the accommodating cavity 10 and ensuring the safety of the light guide plate 31, light source 32, circuit board 33, and battery 34 inside. There are various ways to arrange the light sources 32, such as a ring arrangement, opposite side arrangement, or adjacent side arrangement. In this embodiment, the preferred arrangement of the light sources 32 is a ring arrangement, that is, light sources 32 are evenly distributed around the light guide plate 31, which can achieve uniform light emission. In this embodiment, the light source 32 is preferably a multi-color RGB lamp. RGB lamps not only have advantages such as low power consumption, good light focusing effect, fast response speed, high impact resistance, long service life, and environmental friendliness, but can also emit a variety of colors of light. Users can adjust different colors of light and brightness in different environments to create a comfortable atmosphere and enhance the enjoyment of tea drinking.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 The side wall of the tea tray body 1 is equipped with a switch assembly 35 for controlling the light source and a charging slot 36 for charging the battery 34. The switch assembly 35 is a mechanical button switch or a touch switch, and the charging slot 36 is a Universal Serial Bus Type C interface or a magnetic interface. The circuit board 33 is equipped with a voice control module (not shown in the figure) and a wireless connection module (not shown in the figure). The voice control module is connected to a speaker (not shown in the figure) and a microphone (not shown in the figure) located on the cover plate 4. The operator can control the start / stop, color change, and light intensity of the light source 32 through the switch assembly 35, the voice control module, or the wireless connection module APP according to usage habits or actual needs.

[0050] The light source 32, battery 34, switch assembly 35, charging slot 36, speaker, and microphone mentioned above are electrically connected to the circuit board 33. The connection method is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
