Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tea utensil technology, specifically relating to a tea brewing device. Background Technology
[0002] In everyday tea-making scenarios, users mostly hold the cup with one hand, and the operation mainly involves "pressing / sliding with the thumb." Existing magnetic teaware has a bottom magnetic design. After pressing the teaware on the table, the user has to lift it up and tilt it to pour water, or force the user to change their natural holding posture. The user's fingers have to be inserted from the side of the bottom of the cup to operate the switch, resulting in poor grip stability and making it easy for the cup to tip over or the liquid to spill due to improper force.
[0003] Therefore, the market urgently needs a magnetic control solution that maintains the cup's airtightness and aesthetics while also ensuring ease of operation and versatility in various scenarios. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A tea brewing device includes a cup body, an inner liner, a cup lid, a mesh screen, a cup handle, a water-stopping ball, and a tea-water separation control component;
[0006] The inner liner is placed inside the cup body, dividing the cup body into a first cavity and a second cavity; a water outlet is provided at the bottom of the inner liner, and a partition is provided above the water outlet; a third cavity is formed between the partition and the water outlet;
[0007] The cup lid is placed above the cup body, the water-stop ball is placed in the third cavity, and the water-stop ball is connected to the first magnet;
[0008] The tea-water separation control component is embedded in the cup handle. The tea-water separation control component includes a first rotating component, a second rotating component, and a connecting component. The first rotating component is located on the top side of the cup handle, and the second rotating component is located on the bottom side of the cup handle. The first rotating component and the second rotating component are connected by the connecting component. The second rotating component has a second magnet embedded in it.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the connector is made of a rigid material, a flexible material, or an elastic material.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the connecting member is a rope, and the second rotating member is provided with a counterweight.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the cup lid is made of iron, and a third magnet is embedded in the first rotating component.
[0012] As a further aspect of this invention, the magnetic poles of the first and second magnets are longitudinally distributed.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the tea-water separation control component further includes a shaft, and the first rotating component and the second rotating component are respectively connected to the cup handle by the shaft.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the cup lid is sleeved or rotated and snapped onto the cup body.
[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the water outlet is fitted with a circular sealing ring.
[0016] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the outer side of the water-stop ball is covered with a silicone sleeve.
[0017] As a further embodiment of this invention, both the cup body and the inner liner are made of glass.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] A tea infuser design features a first rotating component positioned on the upper side of the handle, ergonomically designed for easy touch and convenient operation. This is particularly useful in situations where the user only remembers to separate the tea leaves after lifting the teaware, eliminating the need for a second hand or to put the teaware down to operate the switch before lifting it again to pour water. The first rotating component drives a second rotating component, which in turn causes a second magnet embedded in the second component to change its magnetic pole direction. This, in turn, moves a water-stop ball inside the cup, disengaging it from the spout, thus achieving precise water flow control.
[0020] This utility model provides a tea brewing device that can be easily operated with one hand, offering significant convenience and greatly improving the smoothness of use, thus bringing users a more efficient and comfortable tea brewing experience. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0031] In the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0032] like Figure 1-6As shown, a tea brewer includes a cup body 1, an inner liner 2, a cup lid 3, a mesh 4, a handle 5, a water-stopping ball 6, and a tea-water separation control component. The inner liner 2 is placed inside the cup body 1, dividing the cup body 1 into a first cavity and a second cavity. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the inner liner 2, and a mesh 4 is provided above the water outlet. A third cavity is formed between the mesh 4 and the water outlet. The cup lid 3 is placed on top of the cup body 1, and the water-stopping ball 6 is placed in the third cavity. The water-stopping ball 6 is connected to a first magnet 10. The tea-water separation control component is embedded in the handle 5. The tea-water separation control component includes a first rotating component 7, a second rotating component 8, and a connecting component 9. The first rotating component 7 is located on the top side of the handle 5, and the second rotating component 8 is located on the bottom side of the handle 5. The first rotating component 7 and the second rotating component 8 are connected by the connecting component 9. A second magnet 11 is embedded in the second rotating component 8.
[0033] Specifically, in the initial state of the tea maker, the water-stopping ball 6 blocks the water outlet due to gravity. When tea leaves and water are placed in the inner container 2, and the tea-water concentration is constant, to separate the tea and water, a finger is used to turn the first rotating component 7 on the handle 5. Under mechanical power, the first rotating component 7 drives the second rotating component 8 to rotate. The magnet embedded in the second rotating component 8 changes its magnetic field direction due to the rotation, attracting the first magnet 10 located in the third cavity. The water-stopping ball 6 moves upward first, creating a gap between the water-stopping ball 6 and the water outlet, thus allowing the tea to flow into the third cavity from the water outlet. When the finger is turned back to turn the first rotating component 7, the first rotating component 7, under mechanical power, drives the second rotating component 8 to rotate back to its original position. The water-stopping ball 6, under gravity, returns to its initial state, blocking the water outlet, and the tea stops pouring out.
[0034] A tea infuser design features a first rotating component 7 positioned on the upper side of the cup handle 5, conforming to ergonomic usage and easy to touch. This is particularly useful in scenarios where the user only remembers to separate the tea leaves after lifting the teaware, eliminating the need for a second hand or to put down the teaware to operate the switch before lifting it again to pour water, making it more convenient. The first rotating component 7 drives a second rotating component 8 to rotate, causing the second magnet 11 embedded in the second rotating component 8 to change its magnetic pole direction. This, in turn, moves the water-stopping ball 6 inside the cup body 1, disengaging it from the spout, thus achieving precise water flow control.
[0035] This utility model provides a tea brewing device that can be easily operated with one hand, offering significant convenience and greatly improving the smoothness of use, thus bringing users a more efficient and comfortable tea brewing experience.
[0036] In this embodiment, the connector 9 is made of a rigid material, a flexible material, or an elastic material.
[0037] Specifically, the connector 9 is used to transfer kinetic energy from the first rotating member 7 to the second rotating member 8. A rigid material can be used for the connecting rod depending on the actual space within the handle 5. If a flexible material, such as a rope, is used, or an elastic material, such as a tension spring or elastic rope, a matching component needs to be provided on the second rotating member 8 so that the gravity is greater than the magnetic force of the second magnet 11, allowing the second rotating member 8 to return to its initial position.
[0038] In this embodiment, the connector 9 is a rope, and the second rotating component 8 is equipped with a counterweight.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the first rotating component 7 and the second rotating component 8 are connected by a rope, the length of which is the distance between the first rotating component 7 and the second rotating component 8, and the rope is taut. The lower end of the second rotating component 8 is connected to the seeding device. When the first rotating component 7 rotates, the second rotating component 8 is driven by it. When the finger is removed, due to gravity, the second rotating component 8 pulls the first rotating component 7, and both return to their original positions. The first rotating component 7 may be equipped with a buckle or a reset device, so that the finger does not need to remain pressed after rotation.
[0040] In this embodiment, the cup lid 3 is made of iron, and the first rotating part 7 is embedded with a third magnet 12.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, when the first rotating part 7 rotates, the third magnet 12 embedded in the first rotating part 7 attracts the lid 3, eliminating the need for a continuous pressing motion with a finger. When the lid 3 is opened, the magnetic attraction disappears, and due to gravity, the second rotating part 8 pulls the first rotating part 7 back to its original position. In tea-making scenarios, most tea brewers need to refill with water after pouring out the tea. This design allows opening the lid 3 and closing the spout to be done in one action, effectively preventing the problem of forgetting to close the spout.
[0042] In this embodiment, the magnetic poles of the first magnet 10 and the second magnet 11 are arranged longitudinally.
[0043] Specifically, the first magnet 10 is connected to the water-stop ball 6, and the counterweight is connected to the lower end of the second rotating component 8. Figure 5 The labels correspond to the following: the left side represents the initial state, with no water output, and the right side represents the state with water output. If the first magnet 10's S pole is on top and the second magnet 11's S pole is on top, and the connecting piece 9 applies force in a clockwise direction, that is, after being subjected to force, the second rotating piece 8 rotates 90° counterclockwise. The second magnet 11's S pole rotates from the 12 o'clock position to the 15 o'clock position. The magnetic force of the second magnet 11 drives the first magnet 10 to rotate 90° clockwise, and the first magnet 10 and the second magnet 11 attract each other.
[0044] If the S pole of the first magnet 10 is on top and the N pole of the second magnet 11 is on top, and the connecting member 9 is applied in a counterclockwise direction, that is, after being subjected to force, the second rotating member 8 rotates 90° counterclockwise, the S pole of the second magnet 11 rotates from the 12 o'clock position to the 9 o'clock position, and the magnetic force of the second magnet 11 drives the first magnet 10 to rotate 90° clockwise, and the first magnet 10 and the second magnet 11 attract each other.
[0045] Similarly, if the N pole of the first magnet 10 is at the top and the N pole of the second magnet 11 is at the top, the connecting member 9 applies force clockwise to control the attraction between the first magnet 10 and the second magnet 11. If the N pole of the first magnet 10 is at the top and the S pole of the second magnet 11 is at the top, the connecting member 9 applies force counterclockwise to control the attraction between the first magnet 10 and the second magnet 11.
[0046] In this embodiment, the tea-water separation control component also includes a shaft 13, and the first rotating component 7 and the second rotating component 8 are respectively connected to the cup handle 5 by the shaft 13.
[0047] Specifically, the first rotating component 7 and the second rotating component 8 are securely connected to the inside of the cup handle 5 by means of the shaft 13, ensuring smooth rotation of the rotating components during operation.
[0048] In this embodiment, the cup lid 3 is sleeved or rotated into the cup body 1.
[0049] Specifically, the socketing method can quickly achieve a preliminary seal between the cup lid 3 and the cup body 1; the rotating snap-fit improves the stability of the connection and effectively prevents the cup lid 3 from accidentally falling off during use.
[0050] In this embodiment, the water outlet is fitted with a circular sealing ring.
[0051] Specifically, a circular sealing ring is fitted at the water outlet. Its soft and elastic material can fit tightly to the edge of the water outlet, effectively preventing tea leakage and ensuring that there is no gap between the water outlet and the water-stop ball 6.
[0052] In this embodiment, a silicone sleeve is fitted around the outside of the water-stop ball 6. The silicone sleeve further enhances the sealing effect, and the water-stop ball 6 will not bump into the inner liner 2 when it rotates.
[0053] In this embodiment, both the cup body 1 and the inner liner 2 are made of glass. Glass has the advantage of being transparent and visible, allowing users to intuitively observe the changes in the color and concentration of the tea soup and accurately control the tea brewing process. At the same time, glass is chemically stable and does not easily react with tea, ensuring the original flavor of the tea soup and bringing users a pure and healthy tea drinking experience.
[0054] It should also be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
