Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea brewing devices, and in particular to a tea brewing device equipped with a device that can control the brewing time and automatically dispense water. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, some tea-brewing appliances have appeared on the market. However, these appliances still have obvious defects in terms of tea brewing time control and automatic water dispensing. Moreover, after the timer ends, these appliances usually require manual operation to pour water out, which cannot achieve true automatic water dispensing. This limits the user experience to some extent and fails to fundamentally solve the problem of insufficient convenience of traditional tea brewing methods.

[0003] For example, the patent with prior art authorization announcement number CN207744977U describes a tea brewing device that mainly includes a main body, a storage mechanism, and an automatic rinsing mechanism. It is equipped with a storage box, a teacup, a lid, and a buckle, which makes it convenient for users to take out the teacup from the tea brewing device for drinking, thus solving the problem that the original tea brewing device did not have a teacup storage structure.

[0004] However, this tea maker does not allow for automatic drainage control, which reduces its ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a tea brewer that utilizes magnetic properties, has a reasonable structure, is easy to operate, and allows for arbitrary control of the tea brewing time. It is equipped with a tea brewing device that can control the brewing time and has an automatic water dispensing device.

[0006] This utility model discloses a tea brewer with a controllable brewing time and an automatic water dispensing device, comprising a teapot body and a tea strainer. The tea strainer is embedded in the opening at the top of the teapot body. It also includes a control device, a channel, a steel ball, a first magnet, and a screen. The channel is connected to the bottom of the tea strainer and has a conical interior. The first magnet is slidably mounted inside the channel, and the steel ball is positioned at the bottom of the first magnet. The screen is installed at the opening at the top of the channel. A control device is located at the top of the tea strainer to control the raising and lowering movement of the first magnet. Initially, the steel ball and the first magnet are located at the bottom of the channel due to gravity, with the steel ball sealing the bottom opening. The tea strainer is installed inside the teapot body, and tea leaves are placed inside. Hot water is then poured into the tea strainer to soak the tea leaves. When the tea leaves have reached the steeping time, the user operates the control device, generating a magnetic attraction between the device and the first magnet. The first magnet, driven by the magnetic force, moves the steel ball upward, causing the tea in the tea strainer to flow through the bottom opening of the channel into the teapot body. The tea leaves are filtered through the screen. Utilizing the properties of magnetism, this design creates a tea brewer with a reasonable structure, convenient operation, and easily controllable brewing time.

[0007] Preferably, the control device includes an operating mechanism, a cover, a sleeve, a rod, a second magnet, a third magnet, a guide frame, a slider, a gear, and a fourth magnet. The cover is fitted onto the top opening of the tea strainer. The top of the sleeve is connected to the middle of the bottom end of the cover. The rod slides vertically inside the sleeve. The second magnet is located at the bottom of the rod, and the third magnet is located at the top of the rod. The guide frame is mounted on the inner wall of the cover. The slider slides horizontally on the guide frame. A rack meshing with the gear is provided on the outer wall of the slider. The gear is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the cover. The fourth magnet is mounted at the bottom of the slider. An operating mechanism is provided on the upper part of the cover, which drives the gear to rotate. When the positions of the fourth magnet and the third magnet are vertically aligned... When the timing is right, the magnetic force between the fourth and third magnets causes the rod to slide upwards. At this time, the second and first magnets are far apart, so that the first magnet is located at the bottom of the channel. When the operator uses the operating mechanism to rotate the gear, the gear rotation meshes with the rack and causes the slider to slide to one side. At this time, the magnetic force between the fourth and third magnets disappears, and the rod moves downwards under gravity. At this time, the second and first magnets are close together and attract each other, so that the first magnet moves upwards, improving the convenience of automatic drainage in the tea strainer. When the slider slides back to its original position, the fourth and third magnets attract each other again and cause the rod to move upwards, so that the first magnet drives the steel ball downwards to stop drainage.

[0008] Preferably, the operating mechanism includes a cover, a ring, and a gear ring. The cover is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the cover, the ring is disposed on the inner wall of the cover, and the gear ring is disposed on the inner wall of the ring. The gear ring meshes with a gear. By rotating the cover clockwise or counterclockwise, the gear ring drives the slide to rotate, thereby facilitating the sliding of the slider and improving the convenience of automatic drainage control.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes multiple sets of sealing gaskets, all of which are installed on the outer wall of the tea strainer; this improves the positioning effect of the tea strainer when installed on the teapot body.

[0010] Preferably, the magnetic force of the fourth magnet is greater than that of the second magnet; when a magnetic force is generated between the fourth magnet and the third magnet, it is convenient to separate the second magnet from the first magnet.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the cover is provided with a guide groove, and the cover is slidably mounted on the guide groove through a guide member; this improves the stability of the cover's rotation.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the initial state, the steel ball and the first magnet are located at the bottom of the channel under the influence of gravity. The steel ball seals the opening at the bottom of the channel. The tea strainer is installed inside the teapot. Tea leaves are placed inside the tea strainer. Then, hot water is poured into the tea strainer to soak the tea leaves. When the tea leaves have reached the steeping time, the operator generates a magnetic attraction between the control device and the first magnet. The first magnet is driven by the magnetic force to move the steel ball upward, so that the tea water in the tea strainer flows into the teapot through the opening at the bottom of the channel. The tea leaves are filtered through the sieve. By utilizing the magnetic properties, a tea brewing device with a reasonable structure, convenient operation, and arbitrary control of the tea strainer steeping time is designed.

The steel ball 4 is located at the bottom of the first magnet 5. The screen 6 is installed at the opening at the top of the channel 3. The control device is located at the top of the tea strainer 2 and is used to control the lifting and lowering movement of the first magnet 5.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the control device includes an operating mechanism, a cover 7, a sleeve 8, a rod 9, a second magnet 10, a third magnet 11, a guide frame 12, a slider 13, a gear 14, and a fourth magnet 15. The cover 7 is fitted onto the top opening of the tea strainer 2. The top of the sleeve 8 is connected to the middle of the bottom end of the cover 7. The rod 9 is slidably disposed inside the sleeve 8. The second magnet 10 is disposed at the bottom end of the rod 9, and the third magnet 11 is disposed at the top end of the rod 9. The guide frame 12 is mounted on the inner side wall of the cover 7. The slider 13 is horizontally slidably mounted on the guide frame 12. The outer side wall of the slider 13 is provided with a rack that meshes with the gear 14. The gear 14 is rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the cover 7. The fourth magnet 15 is mounted at the bottom end of the slider 13. An operating mechanism is provided on the upper part of the cover 7. The operating mechanism is used to drive the gear 14 to rotate.

[0024] In this embodiment, initially, the steel ball 4 and the first magnet 5 are located at the bottom of the channel 3 under gravity. The steel ball 4 seals the opening at the bottom of the channel 3. The tea strainer 2 is installed inside the pot body 1. Tea leaves are placed inside the tea strainer 2, and then hot water is poured into the tea strainer 2 to soak the tea leaves. When the tea leaves have reached the steeping time, the operator generates a magnetic attraction between the control device and the first magnet 5. The first magnet 5 is driven by the magnetic force to move the steel ball 4 upward, so that the tea water in the tea strainer 2 flows into the pot body 1 through the opening at the bottom of the channel 3. The tea leaves are filtered through the sieve 6. By utilizing the magnetic properties, a tea brewing device with a reasonable structure, convenient operation, and arbitrary control of the tea strainer steeping time is designed.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 6 As shown, this utility model provides a tea maker with a tea brewing time control and an automatic water dispensing device. The operating mechanism includes a cover 16, a ring 17, and a toothed ring 18. The cover 16 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the cover 7, the ring 17 is disposed on the inner wall of the cover 16, and the toothed ring 18 is disposed on the inner wall of the ring 17. The toothed ring 18 meshes with a gear 14.

[0027] like Figure 6As shown, it also includes multiple sets of sealing gaskets 19, all of which are installed on the outer wall of the tea strainer 2;

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic force of the fourth magnet 15 is greater than that of the second magnet 10;

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the cover 7 is provided with a guide groove, and the cover 16 is slidably mounted on the guide groove by a guide member;

[0030] In this embodiment, when the fourth magnet 15 and the third magnet 11 are vertically opposite each other, the magnetic force between the fourth magnet 15 and the third magnet 11 drives the rod 9 to slide upward. At this time, the second magnet 10 and the first magnet 5 are far apart, so that the first magnet 5 is located at the bottom of the channel 3. When the operator uses the operating mechanism to drive the gear 14 to rotate, the gear 14 rotates and drives the slider 13 to slide to one side through meshing with the rack. At this time, the magnetic force between the fourth magnet 15 and the third magnet 11 disappears, and the rod 9 moves downward under gravity. At this time, the second magnet 10 and the first magnet 5 are close together and attract each other, so that the first magnet 5 moves upward, improving the convenience of automatic drainage in the tea strainer 2. When the slider 13 slides back to its original position, the fourth magnet 15 and the third magnet 11 attract each other again and drive the rod 9 to move upward, so that the first magnet 5 drives the steel ball 4 to move downward to stop drainage. The operator can rotate the cover 16 clockwise or counterclockwise. After the cover 16 rotates, it drives the gear 14 to rotate through the gear ring 18, which facilitates the sliding of the slider 13 and improves the convenience of automatic drainage control.

[0031] This utility model discloses a tea maker equipped with a tea brewing time control and an automatic water dispensing device. In its initial state, the steel ball 4 and the first magnet 5 are located at the bottom of the channel 3 under gravity. The steel ball 4 seals the opening at the bottom of the channel 3. The tea strainer 2 is installed inside the teapot body 1. Tea leaves are placed inside the tea strainer 2, and then hot water is poured into the tea strainer 2 to soak the tea leaves. When the tea leaves have reached the steeping time, the operator generates a magnetic attraction between the control device and the first magnet 5. The first magnet 5 is driven by the magnetic force to move the steel ball 4 upward, so that the tea water in the tea strainer 2 flows into the teapot body 1 through the opening at the bottom of the channel 3, and the tea leaves are filtered through the sieve 6.
