Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drinking water equipment, specifically relating to a tea bar machine. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of living standards, tea bar machines have begun to enter thousands of households. Their structure, with a water bucket at the bottom and a kettle at the top, makes them more convenient for consumers to use, resulting in rapid growth in sales.

[0003] Currently, to enhance the appearance of tea bar machines or showcase their various states, LED strips are often installed on the display stand or back panel. During installation, the LED strip is first embedded into a groove on the display stand or back panel, and then a glass cover or other light-transmitting plate is placed on top, closing the opening of the groove to secure and limit the LED strip's position. This structure has the following drawbacks: if the LED strip is damaged, the glass cover must be removed from the display stand or back panel before the LED strip can be retrieved for repair or replacement. Because the glass cover is glued to the display stand or back panel, it is difficult for users to replace the LED strip themselves; repairs require professional personnel, increasing the cost of LED strip repair and replacement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a tea bar machine to solve the problem of the difficulty in repairing and replacing light strips.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a tea bar machine, comprising a base and a light-transmitting cover plate fitted onto the base. The base has a mounting groove with a light-transmitting opening covered by the cover plate and an uncovered mounting opening. The tea bar machine also includes a light strip, which is inserted into the mounting groove through the mounting opening for detachable connection with the base. This technical solution has the following technical effects:

[0006] This invention features a mounting groove with a light-transmitting opening and a mounting port on the base. The light-transmitting cover plate only covers the light-transmitting opening, without obstructing the mounting port. This allows for easy assembly of the tea bar machine, where the base and light-transmitting cover plate can be assembled first, and then the LED strip can be inserted into the mounting groove through the mounting port. If the LED strip is damaged, there is no need to disassemble and reassemble the light-transmitting cover plate and the base plate; the LED strip can be directly removed from the tea bar machine through the mounting port for repair or replacement, greatly reducing the difficulty of repairing or replacing the LED strip. Furthermore, users can purchase replacement parts themselves when the LED strip is damaged, improving the user experience.

[0007] In the aforementioned tea bar machine, the mounting slot extends through the base along the insertion direction of the LED strip, ensuring that the light-transmitting opening and the mounting opening are aligned. Sufficient operating space is provided for the hands; when installing the LED strip, simply push it towards the light-transmitting cover plate until it abuts against it, indicating proper insertion. To remove the LED strip, simply pull it away from the light-transmitting cover plate. This makes the entire installation and removal process convenient and simple, enhancing the user experience.

[0008] In the aforementioned tea bar machine, a limiting rib is provided on the side of the base away from the light-transmitting cover. The limiting rib is arranged around the mounting opening to limit the periphery of the light strip. Because the light strip inserted into the mounting groove has a relatively large length in the insertion direction, the setting of the limiting rib can extend the depth of the mounting groove, enhance the support effect of the base on the periphery of the light strip, prevent the light strip from tilting to the side or bending, and make the installation of the light strip on the base more stable.

[0009] In the aforementioned tea bar machine, a wire guide groove is provided on the limiting rib. The wire guide groove is located at the end of the light strip to avoid the power supply wire at the end of the light strip. This prevents the power supply wire at the end of the light strip from bending due to the obstruction of the limiting rib, thereby preventing damage caused by prolonged bending and extending the service life of the light strip.

[0010] In the aforementioned tea bar machine, the base is recessed away from the light-transmitting cover to form a mounting groove. The mounting opening is located on the side wall of the mounting groove, perpendicular to the light-transmitting opening. When the light strip is installed on the shelf, the light-transmitting opening of the mounting groove faces upward, and the mounting opening faces to the side. That is, when installing the light strip, it is inserted horizontally into the mounting groove through the mounting opening on the side wall. The inner bottom wall of the mounting groove can vertically limit the light strip, eliminating the need for additional limiting structures to vertically limit the light strip and simplifying the base structure.

[0011] In the aforementioned tea bar machine, the base, on the side facing away from the light-transmitting cover, is also provided with multiple limiting plates extending along the insertion direction of the light strip. These limiting plates are located on both sides of the mounting opening and abut against the side walls of the light strip. The limiting plates extend the depth of the mounting groove, enhancing the base's support for both sides of the light strip, preventing the light strip from tilting or bending to the side, and making the installation of the light strip on the base more stable.

[0012] In the aforementioned tea bar machine, the limiting plate includes a plate body and positioning ribs provided on the side wall of the plate body. The limiting plate abuts against the side wall of the light strip via the positioning ribs. The end face of the positioning ribs away from the light-transmitting cover is inclined to form a guide slope facing the light strip at the end of the positioning ribs. The positioning ribs can reduce the contact area between the light strip and the limiting plate, reduce the friction between the light strip and the limiting plate, making the insertion and removal of the light strip easier. During installation, the positioning ribs can guide the installation of the light strip through the guide slope, eliminating the need for precise alignment of the gap between the light strip and the two limiting plates, thus reducing the assembly difficulty of the light strip.

[0013] In the aforementioned tea bar machine, a spring clip is provided on the side of the base away from the light-transmitting cover. The spring clip abuts against the LED strip to press it firmly into the mounting groove. When installing the LED strip, the strip pushes away from the spring clip, causing it to bend and deform away from the strip to avoid it. When the strip is in place, the spring clip resets and abuts against the side of the strip away from the light-transmitting cover, pressing it firmly into the mounting groove. This limits the LED strip's position, preventing it from freely detaching from the mounting groove through the mounting opening and ensuring stable illumination within the groove. To remove the strip, pull it out of the mounting groove; the strip pushes away the spring clip to complete the removal. The spring clip design ensures effective limiting of the LED strip while facilitating its installation and removal.

[0014] In the aforementioned tea bar machine, multiple elastic clips are provided on both sides of the mounting port, with the elastic clips on both sides of the mounting port being staggered. By staggering the elastic clips on one side of the mounting port from those on the other side, the difficulty of pushing the light strip aside during installation and removal is reduced, making the installation and removal of the light strip more effortless.

[0015] In one of the aforementioned tea bar machines, the tea bar machine includes a shelf, a base, and a light-transmitting cover plate, which together form a shelf with a light strip; or, the tea bar machine includes a shelf and a back panel located on top of the shelf, with the base and the light-transmitting cover plate together forming a back panel with a light strip; or, the tea bar machine includes a shelf and a back panel located on top of the shelf, with two sets of base and light-transmitting cover plates, each set forming a back panel with a light strip and a shelf with a light strip.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] A tea bar machine, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the tea bar machine includes a base 200, a light-transmitting cover 100, and a light strip 300. The light-transmitting cover 100 covers the base 200. A mounting groove 210 is provided on the base 200. The light strip 300 is inserted into the mounting groove 210 and is detachably connected to the base 200. The mounting groove 210 has a light-transmitting opening 211 and a mounting opening 212. When the light-transmitting cover 100 is on the base 200, the light-transmitting opening 211 of the mounting groove 210 is covered by the light-transmitting cover 100 to allow light emitted by the light strip 300 to pass through. The mounting opening 212 of the mounting groove 210 is not covered by the light-transmitting cover 100 to allow the light strip 300 to be installed. When assembling the tea bar machine, the light-transmitting cover 100 can be first placed on the base 200 and glued between them. Then, the light strip 300 can be inserted from the mounting opening 212 into the mounting groove 210.

[0039] This invention provides a mounting groove 210 with a light-transmitting opening 211 and a mounting opening 212 on the base 200. The light-transmitting cover 100 is only placed over the light-transmitting opening 211, without obstructing the mounting opening 212. This allows for easy assembly of the tea bar machine, where the base 200 and the light-transmitting cover 100 can be assembled first, and then the LED strip 300 can be inserted into the mounting groove 210 through the mounting opening 212. When the LED strip 300 is damaged, there is no need to disassemble and reassemble the light-transmitting cover 100 from the base plate; the LED strip 300 can be directly removed from the tea bar machine through the mounting opening 212 for repair or replacement. This significantly reduces the difficulty of repairing and replacing the LED strip 300. Furthermore, users can purchase replacement parts for the LED strip 300 themselves when it is damaged, improving the user experience.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting groove 210 is set through the base 200 along the insertion direction of the light strip 300. That is, the direction in which the mounting groove 210 penetrates the base 200 is the same as the insertion direction of the light strip 300, so that the light-transmitting opening 211 and the mounting opening 212 are set opposite to each other, leaving enough operating space for the hand. When installing the light strip 300, simply push the light strip 300 towards the light-transmitting cover plate 100. When the light strip 300 abuts against the light-transmitting cover plate 100, it means that the light strip 300 is inserted in place. When removing the light strip 300, simply pull the light strip 300 away from the light-transmitting cover plate 100 to remove the light strip 300. This makes the entire installation and removal process of the light strip 300 convenient and simple, improving the user experience.

[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a limiting rib 220 is provided on the side of the base 200 opposite to the light-transmitting cover plate 100. The limiting rib 220 is arranged around the mounting opening 212, and the inner circle of the limiting rib 220 is flush with the inner side wall of the mounting groove 210. Because the length of the light strip 300 inserted into the mounting groove 210 in the insertion direction is relatively large, the setting of the limiting rib 220 can extend the depth of the mounting groove 210, enhance the support effect of the base 200 on the periphery of the light strip 300, prevent the light strip 300 from tilting to the side or bending, and make the installation of the light strip 300 on the base 200 more stable. To prevent the power supply line 310 at the end of the light strip 300 from bending due to the obstruction of the limiting rib 220, this embodiment provides a wire passage groove 221 at the end of the light strip 300 on the limiting rib 220 to avoid the power supply line 310 at the end of the light strip 300 from bending for a long time and causing damage, thereby extending the service life of the light strip 300.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of limiting plates 230 and a plurality of elastic buckles 240 are provided on the side of the base 200 away from the light-transmitting cover plate 100. The limiting plates 230 and elastic buckles 240 are provided on the limiting ribs 220 and are integrally formed with the limiting ribs 220. The side wall of the limiting plate 230 facing the light strip 300 abuts against the light strip 300. The limiting plate 230 extends along the insertion direction of the light strip 300. Multiple limiting plates 230 are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting port 212. Multiple limiting plates 230 on the same side of the mounting port 212 are spaced apart to extend the depth of the mounting groove 210 based on the limiting rib 220, enhance the support effect of the base 200 on both sides of the light strip 300, prevent the light strip 300 from tilting or bending to the side, and make the installation of the light strip 300 on the base 200 more stable. Because there are multiple limiting plates 230, and the multiple limiting plates 230 are spaced apart, when the user removes the light strip 300, he / she can put his / her fingers into the gap between two adjacent limiting plates 230 to hold the light strip 300, making the removal more convenient and effortless.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the limiting plate 230 includes a plate body 231 and a positioning rib 232. The positioning rib 232 is disposed on the side wall of the plate body 231 facing the light strip 300. The limiting plate 230 abuts against the side wall of the light strip 300 through the positioning rib 232. The positioning rib 232 can reduce the contact area between the light strip 300 and the limiting plate 230, reduce the friction between the light strip 300 and the limiting plate 230, and make the insertion and removal of the light strip 300 easier. The positioning rib 232 is inclined at the end away from the light-transmitting cover plate 100, away from the limiting plate 230 it is attached to, so that a guide slope 2321 facing the light strip 300 is formed at the end of the positioning rib 232. During installation, it is not necessary to precisely align the gap between the light strip 300 and the two limiting plates 230. The positioning rib 232 can guide the installation of the light strip 300 through the guide slope 2321, reducing the assembly difficulty of the light strip 300.

[0044] Multiple elastic clips 240 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the mounting opening 212. When installing the light strip 300, the light strip 300 pushes away the elastic clips 240, causing the elastic clips 240 to bend and deform away from the light strip 300 to avoid it. When the light strip 300 is installed in place, the elastic clips 240 reset to abut against the side of the light strip 300 away from the light-transmitting cover plate 100, pressing the light strip 300 tightly into the mounting groove 210, thereby limiting the position of the light strip 300 and preventing it from freely detaching from the mounting groove 210 through the mounting opening 212, ensuring the light strip 300 is securely installed. The light strip 300 emits light stably within the groove 210. When removing the light strip 300, pull the light strip 300 outward from the mounting groove 210. The light strip 300 pushes open the elastic buckle 240 to complete the removal. The elastic buckle 240 is designed to limit the position of the light strip 300 while facilitating its installation and removal. The elastic buckles 240 on both sides of the mounting opening 212 are staggered, meaning that the elastic buckles 240 on one side of the mounting opening 212 are staggered from the elastic buckles 240 on the other side. This reduces the difficulty of pushing open the elastic buckles 240 during installation and removal, making the installation and removal of the light strip 300 easier.

[0045] In this embodiment, the tea bar machine includes a shelf 400 for placing a kettle and a back panel 500 mounted on the shelf 400. Both the shelf 400 and the back panel 500 are equipped with LED strips 300. Two sets of base 200 and light-transmitting cover 100 are provided; one set of base 200 and light-transmitting cover 100 together form the shelf 400, and the other set of base 200 and light-transmitting cover 100 together form the back panel 500. Of course, it is understood that in other embodiments, the LED strips may only be provided on the shelf or the back panel.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, the mounting groove is formed by a recess in the base away from the light-transmitting cover plate, and the mounting opening is located on the side wall of the mounting groove so that the mounting opening is perpendicular to the central axis of the light-transmitting opening. When the light strip is installed on the shelf, the light-transmitting opening of the mounting groove faces upward, and the mounting opening of the mounting groove faces to the side. That is, when installing the light strip, the light strip is inserted horizontally into the mounting groove from the mounting opening on the side wall of the mounting groove. The inner bottom wall of the mounting groove can limit the light strip in the vertical direction, eliminating the need for an additional limiting structure to limit the light strip in the vertical direction, thus simplifying the structure of the base.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
