[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a foldable filter sports water cup tea residue separation and brewing component, including a cup body 1, a separation mechanism 2 snapped into the middle of the upper end of the cup body 1, a rotating groove 21 opened on the outer side of the lower middle of the separation mechanism 2, a rotating ring 23 rotatably mounted in the middle of the rotating groove 21, a lever 27 fixedly mounted on the upper end of one side of the rotating ring 23, multiple sets of toothed blocks 24 evenly fixedly mounted around the middle of the rotating ring 23, a partition plate 25 fixedly mounted below the middle of the separation mechanism 2, a through hole 26 opened in the middle of the partition plate 25, and a through hole 26 on the outer side of the lower middle of the partition plate 25. Rotating shafts 28 are mounted on all four sides. Connecting rods 29 are mounted on the outer sides of multiple rotating shafts 28. Filter screens 31 are fixedly connected to one end of multiple connecting rods 29, and semi-circular gears 30 are fixedly mounted to the other end of multiple connecting rods 29. A sliding groove 22 is opened on one side of the middle of the separation mechanism 2. Multiple filter screens 31 are located directly below the through hole 26. The combined area of ​​multiple filter screens 31 is slightly larger than the area of ​​the through hole 26. The sliding groove 22 and the rotating groove 21 are connected. The lever 27 is slidably engaged in the middle of the sliding groove 22. Semi-circular gears 30 and gear blocks 24 mesh with each other.

[0025] In this embodiment, the separation mechanism 2 is designed to quickly separate tea leaves. When brewing tea, the operator moves the lever 27, causing the rotating ring 23 to slide and rotate within the sliding groove 22. During the rotation of the rotating ring 23, the toothed block 24 on it drives the semi-circular gear 30 to rotate. The semi-circular gear 30 drives the connecting rod 29 through the rotating shaft 28, causing multiple filter screens 31 to simultaneously retract and fold towards the center, thus exposing the through hole 26 of the partition plate 25. At this time, the operator can put the tea leaves into the inner liner 14 through the through hole 26. When the lever 27 reaches a specific position, the elastic force of the spring piece 32 will stabilize the lever 27 in that position, playing a positioning role and ensuring that the filter screen 31 can be accurately unfolded or folded to the appropriate position. This achieves the limitation of the lever 27 and the filter screen 31 below, improving the accuracy and reliability of the operation. The operator then releases the pressure on the lever 27. Under the elastic restoring force of the spring 32, the lever 27 drives the rotating ring 23 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset. The semi-circular gear 30 and the toothed block 24 re-mesh, and the filter screen 31 unfolds again to cover the through hole 26. Then, hot water is poured into the cup body 1. The hot water passes through the tea leaves, and the tea soup flows through the mesh of the filter screen 31 and through the through hole 26 into the area below the inner liner 14, completing the tea brewing. After brewing, it can be drunk directly. The tea leaves will be intercepted below the filter screen 31 to prevent them from entering the mouth. When not in use, it can be folded and stored inside the cup body 1, taking up little space and being easy to carry. It is suitable for sports, travel, and other scenarios, meeting the user's needs in different occasions. Users only need to turn the lever 27 on the rotating ring 23 to easily unfold and fold the filter screen 31. The operation process is simple, without complicated steps or tools, convenient, quick, and easy to use. The combined area of ​​multiple filter screens 31 is slightly larger than the area of ​​the through hole 26, which can effectively cover the through hole 26, ensuring the filtration effect and preventing tea leaves from leaking out of the gaps. The design is precise and reasonable, improving the performance of the product.

[0026] Example 2: As Figure 1-3 As shown, the cup body 1 includes an outer shell 13 and an inner liner 14. A vacuum layer 15 is formed between the middle of the outer shell 13 and the inner liner 14. A retaining plate 16 is fixedly installed around the upper part of the middle of the inner liner 14. The separation mechanism 2 is engaged above the retaining plate 16. Spring pieces 32 are fixedly installed on both sides of the middle of the sliding groove 22. One end of each spring piece 32 is fixedly connected to a lever 27. A cup lid 11 is provided at the upper end of the cup body 1. A sealing ring 17 is fixedly installed in the middle of the lower end of the cup lid 11. A cup sleeve 12 is fitted on the outer side of the lower end of the cup body 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, a vacuum layer 15 is provided between the outer shell 13 and the inner liner 14 of the cup body 1. Utilizing the principle of vacuum insulation, heat loss through conduction and convection is effectively prevented, greatly improving the cup's heat preservation effect. This allows hot water to maintain a high temperature for a longer period, meeting the user's needs for hot water temperature in different scenarios. It is very convenient for drinking hot water during outdoor sports or for carrying hot water for daily use. The retaining plates 16 fixedly installed around the upper part of the inner liner 14 allow the separation mechanism 2 to be securely engaged with the retaining plates 16. This connection method ensures that the separation mechanism 2 will not easily shake or fall off during use, and it is also easy to install and disassemble, facilitating the user's cleaning and maintenance of the various components inside the cup. The spring pieces 32 fixedly installed on both sides of the middle of the sliding groove 22 are connected to the lever 27. When the rotating ring 23 drives the lever 27 to slide within the sliding groove 22, The spring 32 provides a certain amount of resistance and elastic feedback, making the operation more tactile. It also plays a positioning role when the lever 27 reaches a specific position, ensuring that the filter screen 31 can be accurately unfolded or folded into the appropriate position, improving the accuracy and reliability of the operation. The sealing ring 17 fixedly installed in the middle of the lower end of the cup lid 11 can form a good sealing effect when the cup lid 11 is connected to the cup body 1, effectively preventing liquid leakage in the cup. Even when the cup is tilted or inverted, the liquid will not flow out, making it convenient for users to carry. The cup sleeve 12 sleeved on the lower outer side of the cup body 1 can protect the cup body 1 from damage when it is hit or rubbed. On the other hand, the cup sleeve 12 can increase the friction between the cup body 1 and the hand, playing a non-slip role, making the user hold the cup more stable and less likely to slip, improving the safety and comfort of use.

[0028] like Figure 1-5As shown, when the water cup is idle, the filter screen 31 is in the unfolded state, completely covering the through hole 26 of the partition plate 25, forming a stable filter plane. At this time, the lever 27 on the rotating ring 23 is located at one end of the sliding groove 22, the semi-circular gear 30 is tightly meshed with the toothed block 24, and the spring piece 32 is in its natural state, providing stable support for the filter screen 31, ensuring that it will not move or deform at will when idle, and is ready for brewing at any time. When it is time to brew tea, the operator moves the lever 27, causing the rotating ring 23 to slide and rotate in the sliding groove 22. During the rotation of the rotating ring 23, the toothed block 24 on it drives the semi-circular gear 30 that it meshes with to rotate. The semi-circular gear 30 drives the connecting rod 29 to move through the rotating shaft 28, causing multiple filter screens 31 to shrink and fold towards the center simultaneously, thereby exposing the through hole 26 of the partition plate 25. At this time, the operator can put tea leaves into the inner liner 14 through the through hole 26. When the rotating ring 23 drives the lever 27 to slide in the sliding groove 22, the spring plate 32 will provide a certain resistance and elastic feedback. When the lever 27 reaches a specific position, the elastic force of the spring plate 32 will stabilize the lever 27 in that position, playing a positioning role and ensuring that the filter screen 31 can be accurately unfolded or folded to the appropriate position. This achieves the limitation of the lever 27 and the filter screen 31 below, improving the accuracy and reliability of the operation. When the lever 27 is moved again, under the action of the elastic restoring force of the spring plate 32, the lever 27 drives the rotating ring 23 to rotate in the opposite direction to reset, the semi-circular gear 30 and the toothed block 24 re-mesh, and the filter screen 31 unfolds again to cover the through hole 26. Next, hot water is poured into the cup body 1. The hot water passes through the tea leaves, and the tea soup flows through the mesh of the filter screen 31 and through the through hole 26 into the area below the inner liner 14, completing the tea brewing. After brewing, the tea can be drunk directly. The tea leaves will be intercepted below the filter screen 31 to prevent them from entering the mouth. Before the next brewing, the separation mechanism 2 can be removed to clean the tea leaves inside. The vacuum layer 15 between the outer shell 13 and the inner liner 14 of the entire cup body 1 continues to play a heat preservation role to ensure the temperature of the tea soup. The sealing ring 17 at the bottom of the cup lid 11 forms a seal when closed to prevent liquid leakage. The cup sleeve 12 provides anti-slip protection, enhances grip stability, and improves the user experience.
