Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea bar machines, and in particular to an automatic steam extraction and exhaust tea bar machine. Background Technology

[0002] A tea bar machine is a new type of multifunctional household appliance that integrates a kettle, a teapot, and an automatic water dispensing function. The bottled water submersible tea bar machine uses a water pump motor to draw bottled water from a container inside the cabinet through food-grade tubing to the kettle and teapot. A control circuit and thermostat then allow for multi-stage temperature adjustment in both the kettle and teapot, solving problems such as the difficulty of placing bottled water, insufficient temperature control precision, and difficulty cleaning the kettle's inner tank, effectively improving the aesthetics and cleanliness of living rooms, dining rooms, tea rooms, conference rooms, or hotel rooms. Another type, the inline tea bar machine, connects directly to the purified water outlet of a water purifier. Both submersible and inline tea bar machines are equipped with a large display screen to show the machine's operating status, allowing users to easily monitor the equipment's condition.

[0003] Currently, Chinese Utility Model Patent No. ZL202421280797.0 discloses a tea bar machine, which includes a front frame and a back panel. The lower end of the back panel is detachably connected to the front frame; the back panel and the front frame are horizontally slidably fastened together; the lower end of the back panel is provided with at least two hooks spaced apart from left to right; the front frame is provided with slots that vertically correspond to the hooks, and each slot has a groove on one side; when each hook is inserted into the corresponding slot and the back panel slides horizontally relative to the front frame, the hook part of each hook engages with the groove at the corresponding position; the lower end surface of the back panel is in close contact with the upper end surface of the front frame, and the upper end surface of each hook part is in close contact with the inner top surface of the groove. The problem with this utility model is that the display located above the back panel is affected by high-temperature steam sprayed from a kettle, causing water vapor to condense on the display, resulting in blurred display and damage to the internal electronic components of the display. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tea bar machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. The high-temperature water steam discharged from the kettle is drawn out by a fan and discharged to the back of the display, thereby keeping the display of the tea bar machine clean and extending the service life of the display.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A tea bar machine includes a base, a back shell, a top shell, and a display. The bottom of the back shell is connected to one side of the base, and the top of the back shell is connected to the top shell. The top shell is horizontally suspended directly above the base. The display is mounted on the top shell, and the screen of the display is tilted forward and positioned opposite the user.

[0007] It also includes an exhaust fan, which is installed inside the cavity of the top shell. An air intake is provided at the bottom of the top shell, and the air intake is located directly above the kettle. An exhaust port is provided on the top surface of the top shell behind the display. When the exhaust fan is working, the high-temperature water vapor generated by the kettle is drawn in from the air intake, passes through the exhaust fan, and is then discharged from the exhaust port.

[0008] Specifically, the exhaust fan is a centrifugal fan, and also includes an air inlet hood and an air guide pipe. The lower opening of the air inlet hood is connected to the air intake port, and the air inlet hood is connected to the air inlet of the centrifugal fan's volute. One end of the air guide pipe is connected to the air outlet of the centrifugal fan's volute, and the other end of the air guide pipe is connected to the exhaust port.

[0009] The air inlet shroud is circular and is arranged around the water injection pipe with the water injection pipe as the axis.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two or more air intakes, which are evenly distributed around the water inlet.

[0011] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is installed on the bottom surface of the top shell. When the temperature sensor detects that the air temperature at the bottom surface of the top shell is greater than 60 degrees, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the control circuit, and the control circuit controls the exhaust fan to start working. When the air temperature at the bottom surface of the top shell is less than 60 degrees, the control circuit controls the exhaust fan to stop working, thus realizing the automatic extraction of steam from the kettle on the tea bar machine.

[0012] The tea bar machine provided by this utility model has an exhaust fan installed in the top shell, which discharges the water vapor generated by the teapot from the back of the display, avoiding the high-temperature water vapor from blowing onto the display and condensing into water mist, thus keeping the display clean and effectively extending the service life of the display.

[0019] To make the technical solutions and effects of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] The terms "connection," "setting," and "installation" used in this utility model should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a movable connection, or a detachable connection; it can also be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; and it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the aforementioned terms in this utility model based on the actual situation. The terms "inner," "outer," "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., describe the orientation or positional relationship of the device / component indicated in the drawings, and do not emphasize that the indicated component / device must have a specific orientation structure and operation, and should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish similar technical features, and should not be construed as indicating the relative importance or sequential relationship of the technical features.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a tea bar machine includes a base 1, a back shell 2, a top shell 3, and a display 4. The bottom end of the back shell 2 is connected to one side of the base 1, and the top end of the back shell 2 is connected to the top shell 3. The top shell 3 is horizontally suspended directly above the base 1. The display 4 is located above the top shell 3, and the screen 41 of the display 4 is tilted forward and opposite to the user.

[0022] The base 1 is provided with a coupler 51 and a heat preservation and heating component 52. The kettle is placed on the base 1 and plugged into the coupler 51. The power circuit inside the base 1 is connected to the kettle.

[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an exhaust fan 61, which is installed in the cavity of the top shell 3. An air intake 62 is provided at the bottom of the top shell 3, and the air intake is located directly above the kettle.

[0024] An exhaust port 63 is provided on the top surface of the top shell located at the rear of the front of the display 4. When the exhaust fan 61 is working, the high-temperature water vapor generated by the kettle enters from the air intake 62, passes through the exhaust fan 61, and is then discharged from the exhaust port 63. This effectively prevents the high-temperature water vapor from blowing onto the display, causing water vapor to condense on the display and damaging the electronic components inside the display.

[0025] Specifically, the exhaust fan 61 is a centrifugal fan, and also includes an air inlet shroud 64 and an air guide duct 65. The air inlet shroud 64 is annular and is arranged around the water injection pipe 71 with the water injection pipe 71 as the axis. The lower opening of the air inlet shroud is connected to the air intake 62. The air inlet shroud 64 is connected to the air inlet of the centrifugal fan volute. One end of the air guide duct 65 is connected to the air outlet of the centrifugal fan volute, and the other end of the air guide duct 65 is connected to the exhaust port 63.

[0026] Furthermore, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a temperature sensor 72 is provided on the bottom surface of the top shell 3. When the temperature sensor 72 detects that the air temperature at the bottom surface of the top shell 3 is greater than 60 degrees, the temperature sensor 72 sends a signal to the control circuit, and the control circuit controls the exhaust fan 61 to start working. When the air temperature at the bottom surface of the top shell 3 returns to below 60 degrees, the control circuit controls the exhaust fan 61 to stop working, thus realizing the automatic extraction of steam from the kettle on the tea bar machine.

[0027] Furthermore, the centrifugal fan 61, the air inlet hood 64, and the air duct 65 constitute a steam extraction device. Two steam extraction devices are respectively installed in the top shell 3. There are two air inlets 62, which are evenly distributed around the water inlet.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The temperature sensor 72 on the bottom surface of the top shell 3 monitors the cooking status of the kettle or teapot placed on the base 1 in real time. When the kettle or teapot is working, water steam will be emitted. When the temperature sensor 72 detects that the air temperature at the bottom surface of the top shell 3 is greater than 60 degrees, it means that the kettle or teapot has started to emit a small amount of high-temperature water steam. The temperature sensor 72 sends a signal to the control circuit, and the control circuit controls the exhaust fan 61 to start working. When the air temperature at the bottom surface of the top shell 3 returns to below 60 degrees, the control circuit controls the exhaust fan 61 to stop working. This realizes the automatic extraction of steam from the kettle on the tea bar machine, avoiding the high-temperature water steam from condensing into water mist on the display and affecting the screen display, keeping the display clean, and effectively extending the service life of the display.

[0029] Although the embodiments of this utility model have shown the technical solutions, those skilled in the art can understand that the technical solutions proposed by replacing, modifying or altering these embodiments in combination with conventional technology without departing from the principles and structure of this utility model are substantially the same as those of this utility model.
