DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The utility model will be further described in combination with the drawings and specific implementation schemes:

[0026] As Figs. 1-3 shown, a weighing intelligent tea maker, comprising a tea machine box 1, and a tea barrel 2, a weighing assembly 3, a lifting water outlet assembly 4, an instant heater 5, a controller 6, a water tank 7, a water inlet electromagnetic valve 9 and a tea outlet lever 10 installed on the tea machine box 1, the weighing assembly 3 is fixedly connected on the tea machine box 1 and located outside the tea machine box 1, the tea barrel 2 is placed on the weighing assembly 3, that is, the tea barrel 2 can be taken down or placed on the weighing assembly 3 according to the requirement. The tea barrel 2 is used for containing tea water, that is, tea leaves and hot water can be put into the tea barrel 2, so as to realize tea leaf brewing and obtain tea water.

[0027] The water tank 7 is fixedly or detachably installed in the inside of the tea machine box 1, the water inlet electromagnetic valve 9 is installed on the water tank 7, and the output end of the water inlet electromagnetic valve 9 is connected in communication with the inside of the water tank 7, and the input end of the water inlet electromagnetic valve 9 is used to be connected in communication with the external water source, for example, connected in communication with the external water source (such as a bucket of water) through a hose, so as to deliver the drinking water into the water tank 7.

[0028] The heating assembly is installed in the water tank 7, and is used to heat the drinking water in the water tank 7.

[0029] The water pump 8 is further included, which is installed on the water tank 7, for example, installed on the outer wall of the water tank 7. The input end of the water pump 8 is connected in communication with the inside of the water tank 7, the output end of the water pump 8 is connected in communication with the input end of the flow meter 11, the output end of the flow meter 11 is connected in communication with the input end of the instant heater 5, the output end of the instant heater 5 is connected in communication with the input end of the lifting water outlet assembly 4, and the output end of the lifting water outlet assembly 4 is connected in communication with the tea outlet nozzle of the tea barrel 2, so as to input the drinking water into the tea barrel 2, so that the drinking water is mixed with the tea leaves pre-stored in the tea barrel 2 and is brewed, so as to obtain the tea water.

[0030] The instant heater 5 is used to reheat the water flowing out of the water tank 7, and deliver the heated drinking water into the tea barrel 2. That is, the drinking water in the tea barrel 2 is heated twice. The flow meter 11 is used to measure the current water flow rate flowing into the tea barrel 2.

[0031] The flow meter 11 is connected with the instant heater 5 together, and forms a flow heating assembly, which is fixedly or detachably installed in the inside of the tea machine box 1. The lifting water outlet assembly 4 and the controller 6 are both installed in the inside of the tea machine box 1.

[0032] The controller 6 is electrically connected with the lifting water outlet assembly, the instant heater 5, the flow meter 11 and the water pump 8 respectively, and controls the opening and closing and working time length of the lifting water outlet assembly, the instant heater 5 and the water pump 8 based on the flow signal received from the flow meter 11, the flow signal representing the current flow size of the drinking water flowing through the flow meter 11. For example, the controller 6 controls whether the instant heater 5 needs to be started to heat the drinking water and maintains the heating time length. Similarly, whether the water pump 8 needs to be started to deliver the drinking water into the tea barrel 2 and maintains the starting time length can be controlled.

[0033] In one aspect, the staged heating formed by the first heating by the heating assembly in the water tank 7 and the second heating by the instant heater 5 can better ensure the temperature of the tea water finally entering the tea bucket, thereby more accurately controlling the tea water temperature and having higher intelligence. On the other hand, according to the flow signal received by the controller 6, the heating time of the instant heater 5 can be controlled according to the flow size, thereby ensuring that the flow and the heating time are matched, further ensuring the final tea water temperature and further improving the intelligent degree.

[0034] The lifting water outlet assembly 4 is installed in the tea machine box 1 in a lifting manner, so that the lifting water outlet assembly 4 can be close to or away from the tea bucket 2, thereby adapting to tea buckets 2 of different sizes, and making the lifting water outlet assembly 4 always be able to send drinking water into the tea bucket 2 in a state of being very close to the tea bucket 2.

[0035] In addition, the tea outlet lever 10 is installed on the tea machine box 1 and abuts against the tea outlet nozzle of the tea bucket 2. The tea water in the tea bucket 2 is discharged through the tea outlet nozzle, and the drinking person can receive tea water through the tea outlet nozzle. The tea outlet lever 10 is electrically connected with the controller 6. The tea outlet lever 10 performs a lifting action based on receiving a lifting signal issued by the controller 6, so as to open the tea outlet nozzle, so that the tea water can be discharged outside through the tea outlet nozzle.

[0036] In addition, the tea outlet lever 10 implements the lifting action function, which can be a prior art, and therefore its specific structure is not described here, that is, a structure assembly capable of implementing the lifting action function in the prior art can be used to realize it.

When the tea caddy 2 is placed on the weighing assembly 3, the tea caddy 2 can contact the extension, that is, the gravity of the tea caddy 2 can act on the scale pan support 31, and the gravity of the tea caddy 2 acts on the strain gauge 32 through the extension, so that the strain gauge 32 deforms. Different degrees of deformation of the strain gauge 32 are caused by different sizes of gravity, that is, a mapping relationship between the deformation and the gravity is established, so the gravity can be measured according to the degree of deformation, thereby completing the weighing. The weighing based on the deformation is the prior art, and thus will not be described here.

[0038] The strain support 33 is installed inside the bracket 34, and one end of the scale pan support 31 installed on the bracket 34 extends into the bracket 34 and is connected with the strain gauge 32.

When the micro switch 36 is in the open state, the micro switch 36 sends a trigger signal representing the start of receiving the deformation signal to the controller 6, that is, when the controller 6 receives the trigger signal, the controller 6 starts to receive the deformation signal and starts to weigh, otherwise, the controller 6 does not receive the deformation signal and does not weigh.

[0041] The transverse portion, the first longitudinal portion and the second longitudinal portion are an integral structure.

The first fixed plate is attached to the inner side of the first longitudinal plate, and the second fixed plate is attached to the inner side of the second longitudinal plate. The micro switch 36 is installed on the scale pan plate.

[0043] Exemplarily, the weighing assembly 3 further comprises a bottom plate 35 fixedly installed at the bottom of the bracket 34.
