[0039] The names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of this application are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0040] Reference Figures 1-5 An adjustable tea tray includes a tray body 1, a receiving groove 11 provided inside the tray body 1, both ends of the receiving groove 11 extending to the outside of the tray body 1, and extension plates 2 provided at both ends of the tray body 1. The extension plates 2 are movably disposed within the receiving groove 11, and a sealing gasket is provided at the joint between the receiving groove 11 and the extension plates 2. A baffle 21 is provided on the side of the extension plates 2 away from the tray body 1 to block liquid from the side. A teaware placement area is formed between the extension plates 2 and the tray body 1. By moving the extension plates 2 within the receiving groove 11, the placement area can be expanded or reduced, thereby allowing the size of the placement area to be flexibly adjusted according to the number of teaware, while improving space utilization.

[0041] The extension tray 2 is provided with a groove 22, one end of which extends to the outside of the extension tray 2. A collection tray 3 is movably installed in the groove 22. The extension tray 2 is also provided with a slot 23, one end of which is connected to the groove 22. The collection tray 3 has an opening, which can directly collect tea leaves, wastewater or excess tea soup that fall during the tea brewing process. If tea leaves overflow when pouring tea, the waste can be swept into the collection tray 3 in the groove 22 through the slot 23, preventing the residue and water from accumulating on the surface of the tea tray. The collection tray 3 is also designed to be detachable, so that the liquid can be poured out when it accumulates to a certain level, improving the convenience of use.

[0042] A drainage groove 12 is provided on the plate body 1, and a water collection seat 13 is provided inside the plate body 1. The interior of the water collection seat 13 is partially connected to the drainage groove 12. The water collection seat 13 is connected to a drain pipe, which can be a silicone hose. Several water-blocking strips 121 are provided on the drainage groove 12 at intervals. When the baffle 21 is in contact with the outer periphery of the plate body 1, the ends of the extension plate 2 are located on both sides of the water collection seat 13 and do not contact the water collection seat 13. The drainage groove 12, the water collection seat 13, and the drain pipe form a complete drainage system. Excess wastewater during tea brewing can quickly flow into the water collection seat 13 through the drainage groove 12 and then be discharged through the drain pipe, avoiding water accumulation on the surface of the tea tray and keeping the work surface dry.

[0043] Based on the above structure, the extension plate 2 is movable and set on the receiving groove 11 provided on the plate body 1. The user can move the extension plate 2 according to actual needs, so that the baffle 21 in the extension plate 2 is closer to or farther away from the plate body 1. When the baffle 21 is farther away from the plate body 1, the size between the extension plate 2 and the plate body 1 increases, and vice versa. The plate body 1 and the extension plate 2 are respectively provided with drainage grooves 12 and slots 23, which can be used for drainage of tea water. The movement of the extension plate 2 in the plate body 1 does not affect the drainage effect of the extension plate 2 itself. The plate body 1 has several water-blocking strips 121 to guide the flow of tea water, thereby achieving the guiding effect of tea water. By moving the extension plate 2, the overall size of the tea tray can be adjusted, solving the problem that the existing tea trays have fixed sizes, which makes it impossible to adjust according to actual needs and has limited flexibility.

[0044] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 1-3 A fixing hole 14 extending to the receiving groove 11 is provided on one side of the disk body 1. Several fixing holes 14 are provided and are distributed at intervals at both ends of the disk body 1.

[0045] One side of the extension plate 2 is provided with a mounting hole 24 corresponding to the position of the fixing hole 14. When the extension plate 2 moves relative to the receiving groove 11, the mounting hole 24 will be aligned with one of the fixing holes 14. The mounting hole 24 and the fixing hole 14 have the same diameter.

[0046] When the mounting hole 24 is aligned with the fixing hole 14, a pin is movably installed. The same hole diameter ensures that there is no loose gap between the pin and the mounting hole 24 or fixing hole 14 during installation, thus fixing the extension plate 2 to the plate body 1. This design gives the tea tray an adjustable feature, allowing users to flexibly adjust the position of the extension plate 2 on the plate body 1 according to actual needs, such as the number and size of tea utensils. By moving the extension plate 2, the mounting hole 24 can be aligned with different sets of fixing holes 14, thereby changing the overall usable area of ​​the tea tray. At the same time, the pin fixing method is simple to operate and the fixing effect is stable. During use, the extension plate 2 is not easy to shift, ensuring the safety and stability of the tea tray.

[0047] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The extension tray 2 is also equipped with a flow guide trough 25. The flow guide trough 25 gradually slopes from the end away from the slot 23 to the end closer to the slot 23 and connects with the slot 23. Several flow guide troughs 25 are provided and distributed at intervals on the extension tray 2. The inclined design of the flow guide trough 25 can guide the tea water to flow along the trough towards the slot 23, which can play a role in centralized drainage. The multiple spaced flow guide troughs 25 can ensure that tea water spilled at different positions on the extension tray 2 can be quickly guided to the slot 23, avoiding the situation where the tea water flows randomly or accumulates on the surface of the extension tray 2.

[0048] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 The bottom of the plate body 1 is also provided with support components 4. The support components 4 include a support base 41 with a groove 411. An elastic element 42 is connected in the groove 411. The elastic element 42 adopts a pressure spring or extension spring with elastic deformation capability in the prior art. The other end of the elastic element 42 is connected to a suction cup 43. The suction cup 43 is made of silicone material and has a certain deformation capability. The suction end of the suction cup 43 faces the table.

[0049] With the cooperation of the elastic element 42, the suction cup 43 can be located inside or partially outside the groove 411. When the suction cup 43 is outside the groove 411, it can adhere to the tabletop. When it is inside the groove 411, the suction cup 43 is stored. The combination of the elastic element 42 and the suction cup 43 gives the tea tray good stability and adaptability. When the tea tray is placed on the tabletop, the elastic deformation of the elastic element 42 allows the suction cup 43 to adhere tightly to the tabletop, fixing the tea tray to the tabletop through suction force, preventing the tea tray from easily sliding during use. At the same time, the presence of the elastic element 42 can also buffer the vibration caused by placing teaware or touching the tea tray to a certain extent, thereby effectively enhancing the stability of the tea tray. Even when placing heavy teaware or accidentally bumping the tea tray, the tea tray can maintain a relatively fixed position, reducing the risk of teaware tipping over and tea spilling due to the tea tray sliding.

[0050] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The extension tray 2 also has a storage cavity 26 located on one side of the slot 22. The storage cavity 26 provides users with additional storage space. During tea drinking, some commonly used small items, such as tea needles, tea tongs, tea strainers, teacups and other tea accessories, or tea packaging bags, can be stored in the storage cavity 26 for easy access. There is no need to place a separate storage box on the table, saving space.

[0051] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A collection area is formed between two adjacent sets of water-blocking strips 121. Two sets of symmetrically distributed inclined ends 15 are provided on the collection area. The two sets of inclined ends 15 form a conical cross section. Since the drainage channel 12 is located on the outer periphery of the water-blocking strips 121, the conical cross section design of the inclined ends 15 can guide the tea water flowing into the collection area to converge into the drainage channel 12, accelerate the concentration speed of the tea water, and prevent the tea water from lingering at the edge of the collection area. At the same time, this shape also helps to reduce the residual area of ​​tea water on the surface of the collection area, making the tea water easier to clean.

[0052] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The support component 4 also includes a plug 44. When the plug 44 is installed on the support base 41, the suction cup 43 is located between the suction cup 43 and the support base 41. When the plug 44 is installed, the suction cup 43 is stored. The side of the plug 44 facing the table is provided with anti-slip texture 441. When the suction function of the suction cup 43 is not needed, the plug 44 can store the suction cup 43 in the support base 41, which protects the suction cup 43 and prevents it from being exposed to the outside for a long time and getting dust and debris, which would affect its suction performance and extend the service life of the suction cup 43. In addition, the anti-slip texture 441 on the plug 44 can increase the friction with the table surface on a rough table, so as to ensure the stability of the tea tray.

[0053] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The material collection tray 3 is also provided with a limiting plate 31. When the material collection tray 3 is located in the slot 22, the limiting plate 31 abuts against the end face of the extension plate 2. The setting of the limiting plate 31 provides precise positioning for the placement of the material collection tray 3 in the slot 22, ensuring that the material collection tray 3 can be installed correctly and will not be pushed into or slide out of the slot 22 excessively, preventing it from shifting due to shaking or accidental collision. At the same time, it is also convenient for the user to move the material collection tray 3 away from the slot 22 by pulling the limiting plate 31.
