[0041] Reference Figures 1-3A tea tray that is easy to maintain includes a tray body 1, a groove 11 on the tray body 1, baffles 2 on the groove 11, several baffles 2 are provided and distributed at intervals along the width direction of the groove 11, a guide area is formed between two adjacent sets of baffles 2, and the baffles 2 distributed at intervals allow water to flow through the guide area, avoiding local water accumulation and ensuring drainage efficiency.

[0042] One end of the slot 11 is also provided with a guide channel 12. One side of the guide channel 12 is provided with an opening 121 that penetrates the plate body 1. One end of the baffle 2 extends onto the guide channel 12. The guide channel 12 can collect the water flow in the slot 11 and quickly discharge it through the opening 121 to prevent water accumulation in the plate. The bottom of the opening 121 is provided with an interface and a pipe is installed. Support pads are provided around the bottom of the plate body 1.

[0043] Guide rail components 3 are provided on both sides of the slot 11. A scraping component 4 is movably provided on the guide rail components 3. The scraping component 4 includes a support plate 41. Extensions 42 are provided at both ends of the support plate 41. The extensions 42 are provided with slots 421 corresponding to the positions of the guide rail components 3. Through the cooperation of the slots 421, the extensions 42 are installed on the guide rail components 3. The support plate 41 is located above the baffle 2. The support plate 41 and the baffle 2 are staggered to avoid the situation of being limited. The scraping component 4 can slide along the guide rail components 3. There is no need to manually contact the baffle 2 or tea residue. The scraping operation on the surface of the baffle 2 can be realized by moving the support plate 41, which reduces the difficulty of maintenance and improves the convenience of use.

[0044] The support plate 41 is provided with several spaced supports 43, which are located in the flow guiding area. The support 43 is provided with a pusher plate 431, which has an inclined slot 4311. The support plate 41 is also provided with several wiping cloths 432, which are located between two sets of supports 43. The support plate 41 is provided with a Velcro hook surface, which is used to attach the wiping cloths 432 to the Velcro hooks.

[0045] When the support plate 41 moves relative to the guide rail component 3 along its length, the pusher plate 431 is located between the two sets of baffles 2, and the wiping cloth 432 is attached to the top of the baffle 2. The inclined slot 4311 of the pusher plate 431 can be inserted into the guide area of ​​the adjacent baffle 2 when the support plate 41 moves. The inclined angle pushes the tea leaves and tea dregs along the baffle 2 to the guide groove 12, realizing the centralized collection of debris and avoiding manual retrieval. At the same time, the wiping cloth 432 is attached to the top of the baffle 2 and can wipe the tea water and small tea dregs on the surface of the baffle 2 during the movement. It can not only remove residual stains, but also help the baffle 2 dry quickly, reduce bacterial growth and odor. The wiping cloth 432 is made of absorbent fiber.

[0046] Based on the above structure, when tea is poured onto the tray 1 during use, the tea flows into the slot 11. Since the slot 11 is equipped with several spaced-apart baffles 2, these baffles can divert the tea flow and allow it to flow along the length of the baffles into the guide channel 12, where it is discharged through the opening 121. When tea is poured frequently, some tea and impurities may remain in the slot 11. The user can move the support plate 41 in the scraper component 4 along the length of the guide rail component 3, causing several supports to... 43 is embedded between the two sets of baffles 2 respectively. As the support plate 41 moves, the pusher plate 431 on the support 43 pushes the liquid or impurities between the baffles 2 to move until they fall onto the guide groove 12. The wiping cloth 432 connected to the support plate 41 can wipe the top of the baffles 2 when the support plate 41 moves, thereby removing the moisture from the top of the baffles 2. Through the cooperation of the guide rail component 3 and the scraper component 4, the tea tray can be quickly and thoroughly cleaned, thereby avoiding the need to clean the tea tray repeatedly and improving the user experience.

[0047] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The support 43 is provided with receiving grooves 433 on both sides. A brush component 5 is provided in the receiving groove 433. The brush component 5 includes a support rod 51. The support rod 51 is provided in the receiving groove 433. A brush roller 52 is rotatably provided on the support rod 51. Part of the brush roller 52 is located outside the receiving groove 433.

[0048] The brush roller 52 has evenly distributed fluffy parts made of absorbent fibers. When the support 43 is located between the two sets of baffles 2, the fluffy parts come into contact with the sides of the baffles 2. During the use of the tea tray, tea residue, tea stains, etc., are easily attached to the sides of the baffles 2. When the support 43 moves between the baffles 2, the brush roller 52 is driven to rotate because it comes into contact with the sides of the baffles 2. The fluffy parts on its surface are like countless tiny cleaning tools, which can continuously clean and absorb the dirt or water stains on the sides of the baffles 2, further improving the cleaning effect of the tea tray.

[0049] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 It also includes a baffle 6, which supports the scraper 4 and prevents the scraper 4 from being stored when cleaning is not required. A placement area is formed between one end of the baffle 2 and the slot 11. One end of the guide rail 3 extends into the placement area, which can accommodate the scraper 4 and the baffle 6.

[0050] The baffle 6 has openings 61 on both sides that match the baffle strip 2. Through the cooperation of the openings 61, the baffle 6 is movably installed on the baffle strip 2 and located in the placement area. The movable installation of the baffle 6 allows it to be flexibly adjusted or removed according to actual needs. When the baffle 6 is not needed, it can be removed without affecting other functions of the tea tray, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the tea tray and meeting the user's needs in different scenarios.

[0051] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The guide channel 12 has an inclined end 122. The inclined end 122 causes the height of the guide channel 12 to gradually increase from the end closest to the opening 121 to the end furthest from the opening 121. During tea brewing, wastewater needs to flow through the guide channel 12 to the opening 121 for discharge. The inclined end 122 utilizes gravity to allow the wastewater to flow more smoothly towards the opening 121. Due to the slope created by the inclined end 122, wastewater will not accumulate in the guide channel 12 due to slow flow, avoiding odor and bacterial growth caused by wastewater residue. Simultaneously, the rapidly flowing wastewater can more effectively flush away tea leaves and other impurities in the guide channel 12, reducing the amount of impurities adhering to the inner wall of the guide channel 12.

[0052] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The guide rail component 3 is composed of a first guide rail component 31 and a second guide rail component 32. The slots 11 are provided with magnetic layers 111. The first guide rail component 31 and the second guide rail component 32 are both equipped with magnetic blocks. Through the cooperation of the magnetic layers and magnetic blocks, the first guide rail component 31 and the second guide rail component 32 are magnetically connected to the slots 11. The magnetic connection makes the installation and disassembly of the guide rail component 3 convenient. When it is necessary to disassemble the scraper component 4, the scraper component 4 can be removed by disassembling the first guide rail component 31 and the second guide rail component 32 respectively. The magnetic connection prevents the guide rail component 3 from easily loosening or falling off, ensuring the safety and reliability of the scraper component 4 in the tea tray.

[0053] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The disc body 1 has recesses 13 on both sides of the slot 11, and the baffle 6 has extensions 62 on both sides. The extensions 62 have locking blocks 621 that match the recesses 13. The area of ​​the locking blocks 621 is the same as the area of ​​the recesses 13.

[0054] When the baffle is installed in the slot 11, the extension 62 is located on the tray 1. Through the cooperation of the locking block 621 and the recessed part 13, the baffle is installed on the tray 1. The cooperation of the locking block 621 and the recessed part 13 forms a locking structure. This locking structure provides a reliable way to fix the baffle 6. Compared with simply relying on the cooperation of the opening 61 and the baffle strip 2, it increases the stability of the baffle 6 in the vertical direction and plays a supporting role for the scraping part 4. At the same time, the installation and disassembly of the locking structure is simple. Users can quickly install or remove the baffle 6, which is convenient to adjust flexibly according to the actual use. When cleaning the tea tray, the baffle 6 can be removed to thoroughly clean all parts of the tray 1 and the baffle 6, avoiding the impact of cleaning dead corners on the cleaning effect of the tea tray, ensuring that the tea tray is clean and tidy, and facilitating daily maintenance.

[0055] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the support plate 41 is provided with a handle 411. The handle 411 provides a convenient point of leverage for the user to move the support plate 41, allowing the operator to easily grasp and lift the support plate 41, avoiding the situation where the hand slips or the support plate 41 falls due to directly grasping the surface of the support plate 41, thus improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0056] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The groove 11 has a ramp 112 between the two sets of baffles 2. One end of the ramp 112 extends to the guide channel 12. The design of the ramp 112 further optimizes the drainage path of the tea tray. During the tea brewing process, tea spilled into the groove 11 will automatically flow towards the guide channel 12 due to the inclination angle of the ramp 112, accelerating the drainage speed. It works in conjunction with the inclined end 122 of the guide channel 12 to form a complete drainage system, ensuring that the tea on the surface of the tea tray can be drained quickly and thoroughly, effectively preventing tea from accumulating in the groove 11. In addition, the ramp 112 can also reduce the residue of tea leaves and other debris in the groove 11, because the debris will slide into the guide channel 12 with the water flow and finally be discharged through the opening 121, reducing the difficulty of cleaning the tea tray and making the tea tray easier to maintain.
