Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Example

[0022] like Figure 2-4 This utility model presents a structural diagram of a tea strainer that is easy to disassemble and clean. The tea strainer includes a tea strainer base 1, an upper ring sleeve 2 connected to the bottom of the tea strainer base 1, and a strainer mesh 3 connected to the bottom of the upper ring sleeve 2. The bottom of the strainer mesh 3 is hollow, and a lower ring sleeve 4 is provided at the bottom of the strainer mesh 3. A connecting sleeve 5 is detachably connected to the lower ring sleeve 4. A filter plate 6 or a lower strainer mesh is provided at the bottom of the connecting sleeve 5. The aperture size of the filter plate 6 or the mesh size of the lower strainer mesh is smaller than the mesh size of the strainer mesh 4.

[0023] In this embodiment, a lower ring sleeve 4 is provided at the bottom of the filter body. A connecting sleeve I10 is detachably connected to the lower ring sleeve 4. A filter plate I11 or a lower filter screen with a smaller aperture than the filter body is provided at the bottom of the connecting sleeve I10. During the water leakage process, tea leaves are intercepted by the filter plate or the lower filter screen. When the water leakage is relatively slow, the tea water overflows the connecting sleeve I10 and the lower ring sleeve and overflows from the filter body. The tea leaves accumulate between the lower ring sleeve and the filter plate or the lower filter screen, which prevents the tea leaves from entering the tea tray and ensures timely tea water filtration. After the tea filter is used, the filter plate or the lower filter screen can be easily cleaned by disassembling the connecting sleeve.

[0024] In this embodiment, the filter body 1, upper ring 2, lower ring 4 and filter plate 6 are all made of stainless steel sheet, while the filter screen 3 and lower filter screen are made of stainless steel wire.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, a hinge seat 7 is provided on one side wall of the lower ring sleeve 4, and a snap-fit ​​seat 8 is provided on the other side wall. One end of the connecting sleeve 5 is provided with a U-shaped fork head 14 that is hinged to the hinge seat 7, and the other end is provided with a snap-fit ​​mechanism connected to the snap-fit ​​seat 8. In this embodiment, the hinge seat 7 and the snap-fit ​​seat 8 are fixed to the side wall of the lower ring sleeve 4 by fixing screws. During operation, the connecting sleeve 5 is hinged to the hinge seat 7. By opening the snap-fit ​​mechanism, the connecting sleeve 5 is opened, which facilitates cleaning the filter plate or the lower filter screen when cleaning the tea strainer.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the buckling mechanism includes a square buckle 13 rotatably connected to a buckle seat. The top of the buckle seat is provided with a buckle groove 15 for accommodating the square buckle. In this embodiment, the lower part of the square buckle 13 is hinged to the buckle.

[0027] In the preferred embodiment, both the hinge seat and the snap-fit ​​seat are installed on the connecting sleeve 5 on the lower ring sleeve by fixing screws. The upper part of the hinge seat can be deflected to the snap-fit ​​groove 15 to achieve snap-fit ​​connection. In this embodiment, the square buckle 13 is made of steel wire with a certain degree of flexibility, which can make it bypass the edge of the snap-fit ​​seat 8 and snap into the snap-fit ​​groove 15.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the height of the lower ring 4 is set to 8-10mm.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the mesh size of the perforated screen 3 is set to 2-4 mm, and the mesh size of the filter plate 6 or the lower perforated screen is set to 1-2 mm. Example

[0030] Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention, which is a tea strainer that is easy to disassemble and clean. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the connection method is different. In this embodiment, the lower ring sleeve 4 is provided with an external thread on its side wall, and the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 5 is provided with an internal thread that is threaded to the external thread. This structure makes it easy to remove the connecting sleeve 5 from the tea strainer as a whole, and makes it easy to clean the connecting sleeve 5. Example

[0031] Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the tea strainer of this utility model that is easy to disassemble and clean. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the connection method is different. In this embodiment, L-shaped grooves 18 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom of the side walls of the lower ring sleeve 4, and buckle posts 19 adapted to the L-shaped grooves are arranged on both sides of the connecting sleeve. In this embodiment, the buckle posts 19 are aligned with the L-shaped grooves 18 and inserted, and then rotated so that the buckle posts 19 are locked in the L-shaped grooves 18, thereby realizing the installation of the connecting sleeve II. The disassembly is the opposite: first rotate, then pull out, so that the filter plate II 17 or the lower filter screen can be cleaned.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
