Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities, and in particular to a tea set. Background Technology
[0002] Tea sets, as an important carrier of traditional Chinese culture, play a crucial role in tea tasting activities. However, traditional teapots have the following problems in actual use: the spout design is unreasonable, which easily leads to backflow during pouring, resulting in a weak and mushy tea soup; the fit between the lid and the body is poorly designed, and after a period of use, the lid may become stuck and unable to rotate; at the same time, the lid lacks a positioning mechanism, making it easy to slide or misalign when pouring tea, causing water to overflow from the spout. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a tea set that prevents backflow and overflow, provides powerful water flow, and has an accurate lid that is not easy to jam.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0005] A tea set includes: a teapot body with a spout at its upper end; a spout disposed on one side of the teapot body and communicating with the inner cavity of the teapot body, the spout being connected to the teapot body near the bottom of the teapot body; a handle disposed on the teapot body and located on the side opposite to the spout; and a lid detachably disposed on the spout. The spout is surrounded by an annular structure with a first annular flange dividing the annular structure into an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion forms a channel with an asymmetrical shape, one end being a straight edge and the other end being an arc-shaped edge. The straight edge of the channel is positioned near the spout. The lid includes a cover body and a positioning structure disposed below the cover body, the shape of which is adapted to the channel to maintain a specific orientation of the lid during installation. The edge of the cover body is placed on the inner portion, and the first annular flange restricts lateral movement of the lid.
[0006] Furthermore, the spout includes a water outlet section and a connecting section, wherein one end of the water outlet section is a water outlet, and the other end is connected to the kettle body through the connecting section; the connection position between the connecting section and the kettle body is lower than the middle of the kettle body's height; the water outlet section is inclined upward relative to the horizontal plane of the kettle body, so that the height of the water outlet is higher than the connection point between the connecting section and the kettle body.
[0007] Furthermore, the spout has a beveled structure, which makes the cross-section of the spout inclined at an angle of 30° to 60°.
[0008] Furthermore, the connection between the connecting segment and the body of the pot forms a circular structure, which is located in the lower part of the body of the pot; the ratio of the distance between the top edge of the circular structure and the mouth of the pot to the height of the pot body is 0.3 to 0.4; the ratio of the distance between the bottom edge of the circular structure and the bottom of the pot body to the height of the pot body is 0.05 to 0.1.
[0009] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the spout connecting section first increases and then decreases from the connection point with the body of the kettle towards the direction away from the body of the kettle. The connecting section forms an outwardly convex arc-shaped expansion area in the middle. The cross-sectional area of the expansion area is larger than the cross-sectional area at the connection point with the body of the kettle and the cross-sectional area at the connection point with the spout. Moreover, the surface of the connecting section forms a smooth streamlined profile.
[0010] Furthermore, there is a water filter section at the connection between the spout and the body of the kettle. The water filter section is spherical and concave into the kettle. The water filter section is provided with multiple water filter holes. The water filter holes are radially distributed on the water filter section.
[0011] Furthermore, the density of the filter holes gradually increases from the center of the filter section towards the edge region.
[0012] Furthermore, the asymmetrical shape of the channel is a "D" shape, and the shape of the positioning structure matches the "D" shape. The positioning structure includes a straight edge and an arc-shaped part, wherein the straight edge corresponds to the straight edge of the channel, and the arc-shaped part corresponds to the arc-shaped edge of the channel.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the teapot body is provided with a second annular flange, and the teapot body is provided with two detachable teacups. The open end of one teacup can be inverted and fitted around the outer edge of the first annular flange, and the bottom of the other teacup can be fitted around the outer edge of the second annular flange. The outer diameters of the first annular flange and the second annular flange are respectively adapted to the inner diameter of the corresponding teacup.
[0014] Furthermore, the upper end of the handle is provided with a transition extension, which extends smoothly from the connection between the handle and the body of the pot. The inner side of the transition extension is smoothly fused with the upper edge of the body of the pot, and the outer side forms a termination end face.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This utility model discloses a tea set, including a teapot body, a spout, a handle, and a lid. The spout connects to the teapot body near the bottom, effectively improving the flow of tea. A first annular flange around the spout divides it into inner and outer parts, with the inner part forming an asymmetrical channel. The bottom of the lid has a positioning structure that matches the shape of the channel, ensuring that the lid can only be installed in a specific direction, while the annular flange restricts lateral movement of the lid. This structure not only prevents spillage caused by lid misalignment but also solves the problem of traditional teapot lids being difficult to open when locked, thus improving the overall functionality and user experience of the tea set.

[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 This utility model of teaware achieves the functions of preventing backflow, preventing overflow, and ensuring accurate positioning of the lid 400 without easily jamming through a specific structural design. Specifically, one type of teaware includes a teapot body 100, a spout 200, a handle 300, and a lid 400.
[0031] The upper end of the body 100 forms a spout 110, the spout 200 is located on one side of the body 100 and communicates with the inner cavity of the body 100. The connection between the spout 200 and the body 100 is close to the bottom of the body 100. The handle 300 is located on the body 100 and on the side opposite to the spout 200. The lid 400 is detachably mounted on the spout 110. The spout 110 is surrounded by an annular structure 111, which has a first annular flange 112 that divides the annular structure 111 into an inner portion 1111 and an outer portion 1112. The inner portion 1111 forms a channel with an asymmetrical shape, one end of which is a straight edge 1111a and the other end is an arc-shaped edge 1111b. The straight edge 1111a of the channel is located near the spout 200. The lid 400 includes a lid body and a positioning structure located below the lid body. The shape of the positioning structure is adapted to the channel so that the lid 400 maintains a specific orientation during installation. The edge of the lid body is placed on the inner portion 1111, and the first annular flange 112 is used to restrict the lateral movement of the lid 400.
[0032] Understandably, the connection between the spout 200 and the body 100 is located near the bottom of the body 100. When pouring tea, the tea flows directly from the bottom of the body 100 to the spout 200, forming a smooth water flow path and effectively preventing backflow that occurs when pouring tea from a traditional teapot. Simultaneously, the first annular flange 112 of the spout 110 divides the annular structure 111 into an inner portion 1111 and an outer portion 1112, forming the mating structure between the lid 400 and the body 100. The asymmetrical channel formed by the inner part 1111 has a straight edge 1111a at one end and an arc edge 1111b at the other end. The straight edge 1111a is set on the side closer to the spout 200. The positioning structure at the bottom of the lid 400 is adapted to the shape of this channel, so that the lid 400 can only be installed on the body 100 in a specific direction. For example, when the user is brewing tea, the positioning structure of the lid 400 must be aligned with the shape of the channel before it can be placed correctly, which ensures the correct positioning of the lid 400 and prevents the overflow problem caused by the misalignment of the lid 400 when pouring tea. In addition, the edge of the lid 400 is placed on the inner part 1111, and the first annular flange 112 plays a role in restricting the lateral movement of the lid 400. At the same time, due to the adoption of a non-snap-on design, the problem of the lid 400 getting stuck and unable to rotate after a period of use in traditional teapots is avoided. When users need to add hot water during tea drinking, they can easily remove the lid 400 without encountering any difficulty in getting it stuck, which greatly improves the convenience and comfort of use.
[0033] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 , 3 The spout 200 includes a water outlet section 210 and a connecting section 220. One end of the water outlet section 210 is a water outlet, and the other end is connected to the kettle body 100 through the connecting section 220. The connection position of the connecting section 220 to the kettle body 100 is below the middle of the height of the kettle body 100. The water outlet section 210 is inclined upward relative to the horizontal plane of the kettle body 100, so that the height of the water outlet is higher than the connection point between the connecting section 220 and the kettle body 100. It can be understood that by connecting the connecting section 220 to the kettle body 100 at a position below the middle of the height of the kettle body 100, when tea is poured, the tea can flow directly to the spout 200 from a lower position, reducing the flow path within the kettle body 100 and thus reducing the possibility of backflow. Meanwhile, the water outlet section 210 is inclined upward relative to the horizontal plane of the pot body 100, so that the height of the water outlet is higher than the connection between the connecting section 220 and the pot body 100, forming an upward water flow channel, which makes the tea flow more smoothly by using gravity.
[0034] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-3The spout 200 has a beveled outlet, which tilts the cross-section of the outlet at an angle of 30° to 60°. This beveled design, rather than the traditional flat cut, results in an inclined cross-section. When the angle is below 30°, the water flow is not concentrated enough, easily forming a diffused flow; while when the angle exceeds 60°, the water flow becomes excessive and difficult to control.
[0035] In some embodiments, the connection between the connecting segment 220 and the body 100 forms a ring structure, which is disposed in the lower region of the body 100; the ratio of the distance between the top edge of the ring structure and the spout 110 to the height of the body 100 is 0.3 to 0.4; the ratio of the distance between the bottom edge of the ring structure and the bottom of the body 100 to the height of the body 100 is 0.05 to 0.1. This proportion ensures optimal functionality regardless of the size of the body 100.
[0036] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the spout 200 connecting section 220 first increases and then decreases from the connection point with the body 100 towards the direction away from the body 100. The connecting section 220 forms a convex arc-shaped expansion region 221 in its middle. The cross-sectional area of this expansion region is larger than both the cross-sectional area at the connection point with the body 100 and the cross-sectional area at the connection point with the spout. Furthermore, the surface of the connecting section 220 forms a smooth, streamlined profile. This "expansion-contraction" structure, based on the "Venturi effect" in fluid mechanics, effectively regulates the flow rate and pressure of the tea, making the flow smoother and more controllable. For example, when a user pours tea from the pot, the tea first enters the connecting section 220 through the smaller cross-section of the body 100 connection point. Then, the pressure decreases and the speed slows down in the expansion region. Subsequently, it accelerates again in the contraction section leading to the outlet section 210, forming a stable and powerful water flow. This not only prevents the problem of inconsistent water flow common in traditional teapots but also achieves a controlled pouring effect. Meanwhile, the surface of the connecting section 220 is designed with a smooth, streamlined profile to avoid sharp angles or abrupt changes that could cause turbulence in the water flow, keeping the tea in a laminar state throughout the flow process and reducing energy loss and water droplet splashing caused by turbulence.
[0037] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3The spout 200 and the body 100 are connected by a water filter 500, which is spherical and concave inward. The water filter 500 has multiple filter holes 510 arranged radially. The concave spherical structure not only increases the filtration area but also effectively prevents tea leaves from directly adhering to the surface of the water filter 500 and causing blockage. The radially distributed filter holes 510 on the water filter 500 can cover water flow from different directions, ensuring good filtration regardless of the teapot's tilt.
[0038] Furthermore, the density of the filter holes 510 gradually increases from the center of the filter section 500 towards the edge. When the teapot is tilted to pour tea, due to gravity, the tea mainly flows out from the lower half of the filter section 500, especially the edge area which experiences greater water pressure. Therefore, setting a higher density of filter holes 510 in these areas can effectively cope with larger water flow and prevent tea pouring difficulties caused by insufficient filter holes 510.
[0039] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The asymmetrical shape of the channel is a "D" shape, and the shape of the positioning structure matches the "D" shape, as shown in the reference. Figure 4 The positioning structure includes a straight edge portion 410 and an arc-shaped portion 420, wherein the straight edge portion 410 corresponds to the straight edge 1111a of the channel, and the arc-shaped portion 420 corresponds to the arc-shaped edge 1111b of the channel. The "D"-shaped structure allows the lid 400 to be installed on the body 100 in only one specific direction. Correspondingly, the positioning structure at the bottom of the lid 400 is also designed to match the shape of the "D"-shaped channel. This positioning structure includes two main components: a straight edge portion 410 and an arc-shaped portion 420, wherein the straight edge portion 410 corresponds to the straight edge 1111a of the channel, and the arc-shaped portion 420 corresponds to the arc-shaped edge 1111b of the channel. When in use, the straight edge 410 of the lid 400 must be aligned with the straight edge 1111a in the channel of the spout 110, while the curved part 420 corresponds to the curved edge 1111b. This ensures that the lid 400 can only be installed in a specific direction, preventing misalignment or rotation. Especially when pouring tea, even if the teapot is tilted at a large angle, the lid 400 remains stable. Furthermore, the "D"-shaped asymmetrical structure offers strong visual recognition, allowing users to easily determine the correct installation direction without repeated attempts, greatly improving ease of use. In addition, because the straight edge 1111a at the spout 110 is designed closer to the spout 200, the straight edge 410 of the lid 400's positioning structure is positioned directly above the flow of tea when pouring, further preventing potential spillage during pouring.
[0040] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , 3 The bottom of the teapot body 100 is provided with a second annular flange 113. The teapot body 100 is equipped with two detachable teacups 600. The open end of one teacup 600 can be inverted and fitted around the outer edge of the first annular flange 112, while the bottom of the other teacup 600 can be fitted around the outer edge of the second annular flange 113. The outer diameters of the first annular flange 112 and the second annular flange 113 are respectively adapted to the inner diameter of the corresponding teacup 600. Specifically, the second annular flange 113 at the bottom of the teapot body 100 forms a corresponding structure with the existing first annular flange 112 around the spout 110. The teaware also includes two detachable teacups 600, which can be combined with the teapot to form a compact whole when not in use. One teacup 600 can be inverted and fitted onto the outer edge of the first annular flange 112, above the spout 110, while the bottom of the other teacup 600 can be fitted onto the outer edge of the second annular flange 113 at the bottom of the teapot body 100, forming a symmetrical overall structure. To ensure the stability and fit of the assembly, the outer diameters of the first and second annular flanges 112 and 113 are matched with the inner diameters of the corresponding teacups 600, ensuring that the fit is neither too loose (causing the teacups 600 to fall off) nor too tight (making disassembly and assembly difficult). In use, simply disassemble the assembly to begin using the complete teapot and teacups 600. This is particularly suitable for outdoor tea parties or tea ceremonies during travel, as users can safely and conveniently carry the entire tea set without needing to carry additional storage containers.
[0041] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , 3 The upper end of the handle 300 is provided with a transition extension 310, which smoothly extends from the connection between the handle 300 and the body 100. The inner side of the transition extension 310 is smoothly fused with the upper edge of the body 100, while the outer side forms a terminating end face. Specifically, the smooth fusion on the inner side ensures that tea will not leak or accumulate due to structural gaps during pouring, while the terminating end face on the outer side provides a stable support point for the user's fingers. In use, the thumb can be naturally placed on the terminating end face of the transition extension 310, while the other fingers grip the main body of the handle 300. This grip not only conforms to ergonomic principles and reduces wrist pressure but also provides more precise control of the pouring angle. Especially in tea ceremonies requiring precise water flow control, this design helps performers achieve elegant and accurate tea-pouring movements.
