Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household appliance technology, specifically relating to a snap-on quick-change structure for a tea maker filter. Background Technology
[0002] As consumers demand higher quality of life, tea makers, as an important part of smart home devices, have evolved from simply boiling water to sophisticated tea brewing and water filtration. Currently, most mainstream tea makers on the market use filter cartridges to ensure that the water quality meets drinking standards. However, these filters need to be replaced regularly to maintain filtration efficiency, and traditional replacement methods are inconvenient.
[0003] However, current tea maker filters are usually integrated inside the machine body, requiring disassembly of the housing for replacement, which is quite complicated. Furthermore, the filter housing is typically installed using a snap-on design, mostly made of plastic. This snap-on design relies on the elasticity of plastic for installation, but repeated disassembly and reassembly can cause the plastic to age, reducing its elasticity and making it difficult to secure the filter housing. This can lead to the filter housing falling off, causing considerable inconvenience. Therefore, this applicant proposes a snap-on quick-change structure for tea maker filters to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a snap-on quick-change structure for the filter element of a tea maker, which can apply additional elastic compensation to the snap-on frame, so that the snap-on frame can maintain a good elastic effect for a long time. It can effectively avoid the situation where the elastic effect of the plastic snap-on frame is reduced due to aging, and can maintain a stable fixing effect on the filtration mechanism.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0030] Example 1:
[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the snap-on quick-change structure of the tea maker filter includes:
[0032] The tea maker body 1, the latching mechanism 2 assembled inside the tea maker body 1, and the filter mechanism 3 assembled inside the latching mechanism 2;
[0033] The tea maker body 1 has an installation chamber 11 inside;
[0034] The latching mechanism 2 includes a mounting base 21 fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the mounting chamber 11, a latching frame 23 fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting base 21, a sliding block 28 slidably installed on the bottom of the mounting base 21 around the latching frame 23, a movable rod 24 hinged between the bottom of the sliding block 28 and the outer wall of the latching frame 23, and a first thrust spring 29 fixedly installed between the inner wall of the sliding block 28 and the latching frame 23.
[0035] The filter mechanism 3 includes a filter cylinder 31 that is snapped between the buckle brackets 23. The surface of the filter cylinder 31 is provided with a limiting groove 32 corresponding to the buckle brackets 23. A sealing cover 33 is threaded on one side of the filter cylinder 31. A limiting seat 37 is slidably installed inside the filter cylinder 31. A filter element cylinder 36 is fixed between the limiting seat 37 and the sealing cover 33.
[0036] As can be seen from the above, when using the filter mechanism 3, by aligning the position of the limiting groove 32 with the bottom of the buckle frame 23 and pushing the filter mechanism 3 upward, the buckle frame 23 can be opened, allowing the filter cylinder 31 to enter the interior of the buckle frame 23. Through the elasticity of the buckle frame 23, it can automatically retract, making it easy to clamp and fix the filter cylinder 31. At the same time, by holding the filter cylinder 31 and dragging it downward, the filter cylinder 31 can be easily removed from the buckle frame 23, making it convenient to replace and maintain the filter element cylinder 36 inside the filter cylinder 31 without disassembling the housing of the tea maker body 1, which brings more convenience to maintenance.
[0037] The first thrust spring 29 can apply a thrust to the sliding block 28, which can slide along the bottom of the mounting base 21. The movable rod 24 can apply the thrust to the outer wall of the buckle frame 23, which can provide additional elastic compensation to the buckle frame 23, so that the buckle frame 23 can maintain a good elastic effect for a long time. This can effectively prevent the plastic buckle frame 23 from aging and reducing its elasticity, and can maintain a stable fixing effect on the filter mechanism 3, making it less likely to fall off.
[0038] After the filter cartridge 31 is disassembled, the sealing cover 33 can be easily removed by rotation. The limiting seat 37 can move automatically along the inner wall of the filter cartridge 31, making it easy to automatically push the filter element cartridge 36 out of the filter cartridge 31. This allows personnel to quickly remove and replace the filter element cartridge 36, bringing more convenience to the user.
[0039] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that the mounting base 21 and the sliding block 28 are slidably installed through the sliding groove 22, and the movable rod 24 and the buckle bracket 23 are hingedly installed through the hinge seat 25.
[0040] As can be seen from the above, the sliding block 28 can slide through the slide groove 22, and the sliding block 28 can move horizontally in accordance with the opening and closing movement of the buckle frame 23. The hinge seat 25 can cause the movable rod 24 to perform a corresponding flipping movement when the buckle frame 23 is in the opening and closing movement.
[0041] For details, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, rollers 26 are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the buckle frame 23, and anti-slip blocks 27 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the buckle frame 23.
[0042] As can be seen from the above, the rolling action of the roller 26 allows the filter cartridge 31 to be smoothly inserted into the buckle bracket 23, and the anti-slip block 27 can increase the friction between the buckle bracket 23 and the filter cartridge 31, thus preventing slippage.
[0043] For details, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a mounting groove 312 for the filter cartridge 36 to be snapped into is provided on one side of the limiting seat 37, and a water passage hole 38 is provided on the limiting seat 37.
[0044] As can be seen from the above, by inserting the filter cartridge 36 into the mounting groove 312, the filter cartridge 36 can be conveniently positioned. By introducing water into the filter cartridge 36, impurities in the water can be filtered, and the filtered water can flow out to the outside of the filter cartridge 36. The filtered water can be made to flow out into the filter cylinder 31 through the water passage 38, and the filtered water can be conveniently exported to the tea brewing machine body 1.
[0045] Example 2:
[0046] refer to Figure 5 As shown, a fixing frame 310 is fixedly installed inside the filter cartridge 31, and a second thrust spring 39 is fixedly installed between the fixing frame 310 and the limiting seat 37.
[0047] As can be seen from the above, the fixing frame 310 can support the second thrust spring 39, and the second thrust spring 39 can apply a thrust to the limiting seat 37. When the sealing cover 33 is removed, the second thrust spring 39 can be used to push the limiting seat 37 to move, so as to push the filter cartridge 36 out of the filter cartridge 31, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement.
[0048] refer to Figure 6 As shown, the limiting seat 37 and the filter cylinder 31 are slidably installed together by a slide bar 313, and the inner wall of the filter cylinder 31 has a movable groove 311 for the slide bar 313 to slide.
[0049] As can be seen from the above, the slider 313 can slide along the movable groove 311, allowing the limit seat 37 to move horizontally and preventing it from tilting.
[0050] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, one side of the sealing cover 33 is connected to the water inlet 34, and the other side of the filter cartridge 31 is connected to the water outlet 35.
[0051] As can be seen from the above, by connecting the water inlet pipe built into the tea maker body 1 to the water inlet interface 34, and at the same time connecting the water suction pipe built into the tea maker body 1 to the water outlet interface 35, the water pump built into the tea maker body 1 can draw water from the water storage box into the filter cartridge 36 through the water inlet interface 34 for filtration. The filtered water can then be introduced into the tea maker body 1 through the water outlet interface 35 for heating and then exported for drinking.
[0052] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
