Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage equipment technology, and more specifically, to a tea brewing device. Background Technology
[0002] There are many types of tea, and different types require different water temperatures to achieve the best results. For example, green tea is brewed at 80℃~85℃, yellow tea at 80℃~85℃, black tea at 90℃~95℃, wild black tea and sun-dried black tea at 100℃, new white tea and new Pu-erh tea at 90℃~95℃, aged white tea and aged Pu-erh tea at 100℃, dark tea at 100℃, and oolong tea at 100℃. Currently, there are automated tea brewing devices on the market. These devices place tea leaves in a brewing container and then add hot water within a set temperature range to steep the tea.
[0003] After brewing, tea brewing devices need to rapidly cool the tea to a certain temperature to preserve its flavor. Current tea brewing devices consist of a brewing tank and a receiving container. The user manually places a certain weight of ice in the receiving container beforehand, then transfers the brewed tea from the brewing tank to the receiving container, where the ice cools the tea. Current tea brewing devices require the operator to prepare ice of the appropriate size in the receiving container within a specified time, depending on the specific tea recipe. The cooling process in current tea brewing devices requires manual intervention, resulting in a low level of mechanization. Utility Model Content

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0029] Please see the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 13 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a tea-brewing device according to an embodiment of this application. Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, this application provides a tea brewing device, including a heating component 1, a tea brewing component 2, a tea receiving component 3, and an ice water component 4. The heating component 1 is configured to heat drinking water to a set temperature; the tea brewing component 2 has a first container 21 for brewing tea, which contains a mixture of water heated by the heating component 1 and room temperature water; the bottom of the tea brewing component 2 has a tea outlet; the tea receiving component 3 has a second container 31, which is configured to collect the tea flowing from the tea outlet; the ice water component 4 is configured to add ice water to the second container 31 to cool the tea in the second container 31.
[0030] Specifically, the first container 21 of the tea brewing component 2 is used to brew tea leaves; the first container 21 is a commonly used tea brewing container. The heating component 1 heats drinking water to generate hot water at a set temperature. The tea brewing device may also include a water mixing component, which mixes the hot water at the set temperature generated by the heating component 1 with room temperature water according to the type of tea to be brewed, resulting in water within a certain temperature range that meets the requirements for brewing tea. This mixed water within a certain temperature range is input into the first container 21 for brewing tea leaves, and the first container 21 also contains tea leaves. Depending on the type of tea leaves in the first container 21, water within different temperature ranges is added to the first container 21. The second container 31 of the tea receiving component 3 is used to cool the tea soup; the second container 31 is a commonly used tea receiving container. The brewed tea soup in the first container 21 is transferred to the second container 31 through the tea outlet. The ice water component 4 is configured to add ice water to the second container 31 to cool the tea soup in the second container 31. The weight of the ice water added to the second container 31 needs to match the volume of the tea soup in the second container 31 and the tea brewing recipe. The ice water component 4 can mechanically add a set weight of ice water to the second container 31.
[0031] Optionally, the tea brewing device of this application is further provided with a control module. The control module is electrically connected to the heating component 1, the tea brewing component 2, the tea receiving component 3, and the ice water component 4. The control module can control the operation of the heating component 1, the tea brewing component 2, the tea receiving component 3, and the ice water component 4. In this way, the tea brewing device of this application can automatically add a set weight of ice water to the second container 31 to cool the tea soup in the second container 31.
[0032] exist Figures 1 to 3 In the embodiment of the tea brewing device shown, multiple first containers 21 and second containers 31 are provided. It can be understood that each of the first and second containers 21 can also be provided as a single unit. The ice water component 4 of this application can be configured to automatically add a predetermined weight of ice water to a designated second container 31 via a control module. The specific structure of the ice water component 4 can be configured in various ways, such as using electromagnetic drive or hydraulic drive. The ability of the ice water component 4 to add ice water to the second container 31 to cool the tea is within the scope of protection of this application.
[0033] The tea brewing device of this embodiment is equipped with an ice water component 4, which can add ice water to the second container 31. In this way, the tea brewing device of this application can mechanically add a set weight of ice water to the second container 31 to cool the tea soup according to the requirements of the tea brewing process, without the need for the user to manually add ice cubes to the second container 31 to cool the tea soup, thereby improving the mechanization level of the tea brewing device.
[0034] Furthermore, when the tea brewing device of this application is equipped with a control module, the control module can control the operation of the heating component 1, the tea brewing component 2, the ice water component 4, and the tea receiving component 3. By reasonably setting the control program of the control module, the tea brewing device of this application can be configured such that, according to the volume of the tea soup in the second container 31 and the type of tea being brewed, the ice water component 4 provides a corresponding volume of ice water, thus accurately controlling the cooling temperature of the tea soup in the second container 31.
[0035] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ice-water assembly 4 includes a third container 41 and an inlet / outlet water assembly 42. The third container 41 contains ice, and the inlet / outlet water assembly 42 is connected to the third container 41.
[0036] The inlet / outlet water assembly 42 is configured to deliver water to the third container 41 and to deliver the ice water in the third container 41 to the second container 31 when the ice water mixture in the third container 41 reaches a set temperature.
[0037] Specifically, the third container 41 contains ice, and the water inlet / outlet assembly 42 can supply a certain volume of water to the third container 41 according to the volume of ice in the third container 41, so that an ice-water mixture is formed in the third container 41, and the volumes of ice and water in the third container 41 are in a certain ratio. When the ice-water mixture in the third container 41 reaches a set temperature, for example, when the ice-water mixture is 3°C, the water inlet / outlet assembly 42 can also send the ice-water from the third container 41 into the second container 31 to cool the tea in the second container 31. It can be understood that a temperature detection device can be installed in the third container 41 to detect the temperature of the ice-water mixture in the third container 41.
[0038] By rationally setting the volume ratio between the third container 41 and the second container 31, the volume of the third container 41 is much larger than that of the second container 31, so that the amount of ice water contained in the third container 41 can be used to add ice water to the second container 31 multiple times.
[0039] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the inlet and outlet water assembly 42 includes an inlet water assembly 421 and an outlet water assembly 422.
[0040] The water inlet assembly 421 includes a water inlet pipe 4211 and a solenoid valve 4212 and a first flow meter 4213 disposed on the water inlet pipe 4211. The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 4211 is configured to connect to an external water source, and the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe 4211 is configured to connect to a third container 41.
[0041] The water outlet assembly 422 includes a water outlet pipe 4221, a second flow meter 4222 and a pump 4223 installed on the water outlet pipe 4221. The inlet end of the water outlet pipe 4221 is connected to a third container 41, and the outlet end of the water outlet pipe 4221 is connected to a second container 31. The pump 4223 is configured to provide a power source for draining water from the water outlet pipe 4221.
[0042] Specifically, the water inlet assembly 421 is used to deliver water from an external water source to the third container 41, and the water outlet assembly 422 is used to deliver the ice-water mixture in the third container 41 to the second container 31. The inlet end of the water inlet pipe 4211 is configured to connect to an external water source, and the water inlet pipe 4211 can be located at the top of the third container 41, so that the water pressure from the external water source can cause water in the water inlet pipe 4211 to flow into the third container 41. The solenoid valve 4212 on the water inlet pipe 4211 is used to control the flow of water in the water inlet pipe 4211. The first flow meter 4213 on the water inlet pipe 4211 is used to measure the water flow rate through the water inlet pipe 4211, so as to generate an ice-water mixture in the third container 41 with the volumes of ice and water matched in a certain ratio. The second flow meter 4222 on the outlet pipe 4221 is used to measure the flow rate of the ice-water mixture passing through the outlet pipe 4221, so that the tea in the second container 31 can be cooled with an appropriate weight of ice water. The pump 4223 on the outlet pipe 4221 is used to provide power for the discharge of ice water from the outlet pipe 4221, and can also control and adjust the water flow and ice water flow rate in the outlet pipe 4221. Figures 6 to 9 The piping shown is only a schematic diagram and does not represent the actual piping layout in the inlet / outlet water assembly 42.
[0043] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the water inlet and outlet assembly 42 includes a bracket 423, and both the water inlet assembly 421 and the water outlet assembly 422 are installed on the bracket 423.
[0044] Specifically, the bracket 423 serves to support the water inlet assembly 421 and the water outlet assembly 422, and the bracket 423 can be fixed to the top of the third container 41 or other positions.
[0045] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the outer wall of the third container 41 is provided with a heat insulation layer 411.
[0046] Specifically, the insulation layer 411 has the function of maintaining the temperature of the ice-water mixture inside the third container 41, ensuring that the temperature of the ice-water mixture in the third container 41 can be maintained within the set temperature range.
[0047] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the bottom of the third container 41 is provided with a wastewater outlet 412. The top of the third container 41 is provided with a water inlet 413.
[0048] Specifically, the inlet 413 at the top of the third container 41 is connected to the pipelines of both the inlet assembly 421 and the outlet assembly 422, and the pipeline of the inlet and outlet assembly 422 is connected to the inner cavity of the third container 41 through the inlet 413.
[0049] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the ice water assembly 4 also includes a frame 43, which has a cavity. The third container 41 and the water inlet / outlet assembly 42 are both located at least partially within the cavity, with the water inlet / outlet assembly 42 located above the third container 41.
[0050] Specifically, the frame component 43 serves to support and protect both the third container 41 and the water inlet / outlet assembly 42. The frame component 43 also contributes to the neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the tea brewing device.
[0051] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, both the frame component 43 and the third container 41 are equipped with rolling casters 44 at their bottoms.
[0052] The bottom of the frame component 43 is also provided with a height adjustment component 45 to adjust the levelness of the upper surface of the top wall of the frame component 45.
[0053] Specifically, both the frame component 43 and the third container 41 are equipped with rolling casters 44 at their bottoms, which facilitates the handling and movement of the frame component 43 and the third container 41, as well as the handling and movement of the tea brewing device.
[0054] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple height adjustment components 45 are distributed around the bottom of the frame component 43. The height of the top wall of the frame component 45 can be adjusted by adjusting the height adjustment components 45, and the levelness of the upper surface of the top wall of the frame component 45 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the levelness of the tea brewing device.
[0055] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second container 31 is supported on the top wall of the frame component 43, and the first container 21 is located above the second container 31.
[0056] Specifically, the second container 31 is supported on the top wall of the frame component 43, and the first container 21 is located above the second container 31. This makes the overall structure of the tea brewing device compact and space-saving. Furthermore, the first container 21, the second container 31, and the third container 41 are close to each other. The brewed tea in the first container 21 can quickly flow into the second container 31 below through the tea outlet, and the ice water in the third container 41 can be quickly introduced into the second container 31 to cool the tea, thereby improving the brewing speed of the tea brewing device.
[0057] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 13 As shown, the second container 31 is provided with multiple containers, and the tea brewing device also includes a first multi-way valve group 5. The water inlet 51 of the first multi-way valve group 5 is connected to the third container 41, and the water outlet of the first multi-way valve group 5 is provided with multiple first outlets 52. The multiple first outlets 52 are respectively configured to correspond one-to-one with multiple second containers 31. The first multi-way valve group 5 is configured to selectively connect the third container 41 to at least one second container 31.
[0058] Specifically, Figure 13 The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of water flow. Figure 13 The device includes a first multi-way valve assembly 5, comprising multiple solenoid valves and a multi-way pipeline. The inlet of the multi-way pipeline is the inlet 51 of the first multi-way valve assembly 5, and the multiple outlets of the multi-way pipeline are respectively connected to the inlets of the multiple solenoid valves. The outlets of the multiple solenoid valves are the multiple first outlets 52 of the first multi-way valve assembly 5. Thus, the multiple first outlets 52 are connected one-to-one to multiple second containers 31, and the inlet 51 is connected to a third container 41. By controlling the opening and closing of the multiple solenoid valves, the third container 41 can be selectively connected to the second container 31 where ice water needs to be added. This structural design improves the automation level of the tea brewing device. By setting a control module and electrically connecting it to the first multi-way valve assembly 5, a predetermined weight of ice water can be automatically added to the second container 31 where the tea needs to be cooled.
[0059] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 13 As shown, the first container 21 has multiple containers.
[0060] The tea brewing device also includes a second multi-way valve assembly 6 and a water mixing component. The water mixing component is used to mix the water heated by the heating component 1 and room temperature water together. The inlet end 61 of the second multi-way valve assembly 6 is connected to the outlet end of the water mixing component. The outlet end of the second multi-way valve assembly 6 is provided with multiple second outlets (not shown in the figure). Each of the multiple second outlets is respectively configured to correspond one-to-one with a multiple first container 21. The second multi-way valve assembly 6 is configured to selectively connect the water mixing component to at least one first container 21.
[0061] Specifically, the mixing assembly is used to mix the water heated by the heating assembly 1 with room temperature water to obtain water within a certain temperature range. The mixing assembly is located on the upstream side of the water path of the second multi-way valve group 6.
[0062] like Figure 13 As shown, the second multi-way valve group 6 includes multiple solenoid valves and a multi-way pipeline. The inlet end of the multi-way pipeline is the inlet end 61 of the second multi-way valve group 6. The multi-way pipeline has multiple outlet ends, which are respectively connected to the inlet ends of the multiple solenoid valves. Each outlet end of the multiple solenoid valves includes multiple second outlets. In this way, the inlet end 61 is connected to the outlet end of the mixing component, and the multiple second outlets are respectively connected to multiple first containers 21. By controlling the on / off state of the multiple solenoid valves, the outlet end of the mixing component can be selectively connected to the first container 21 that needs to be brewed. When the tea brewing device of this application has multiple first containers 21, water of a certain temperature range matching the tea brewing formula can be input into any first container 21 through a single mixing component. This realizes the function of a temperature control component composed of a mixing component to stably supply water to multiple tea brewing components 2, thereby improving the automation level of the tea brewing device.
[0063] Furthermore, instead of using multiple mixing components to input water within a certain temperature range for brewing tea into multiple first containers 21, the composition of the tea brewing device can be simplified by using a single mixing component to input water for brewing tea into multiple first containers 21 separately.
[0064] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 13 As shown, the water mixing assembly is equipped with a temperature detection element, which is set to detect the temperature of the mixed water. The outlet end of the second multi-way valve group 6 is also equipped with a drain port 62, which is used to drain water that does not meet the requirements for brewing tea.
[0065] Specifically, the temperature detection element can detect the temperature of the mixed water at the mixing component location. Combined with the type of tea being brewed and the brewing recipe, when the temperature detection element detects that the temperature of the mixed water does not meet the brewing temperature requirements, the drain port 62 of the downstream second multi-way valve group 6 can drain the water that does not meet the brewing temperature. This improves the accuracy and stability of the water temperature for brewing tea in the tea brewing device of this application.
[0066] like Figure 13 As shown, a solenoid valve is also provided near the upstream of the drain outlet 62. The inlet of the solenoid valve is connected to one outlet of the multi-way pipe, and the outlet of the solenoid valve is connected to the drain outlet 62. The solenoid valve can control the flow of water through the drain outlet 62.
