Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention. Example

[0025] The lifting mechanism for a tea basket described in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes a vertically arranged fixed tube 1, which is made of non-magnetic material. The fixed tube 1 is made of austenitic stainless steel, which can avoid magnetic attraction between the fixed tube 1 and the second magnet block 3 and the first magnet block 9, reduce magnetic field shielding, and ensure effective magnetic penetration. In some embodiments, the fixed tube 1 can also be made of aluminum. The fixed tube 1 is fitted with a ring-shaped movable block 2 for connecting with the tea basket. The outer diameter of the fixed tube 1 is slightly smaller than the inner ring diameter of the movable block 2. A freely rotating adjusting rod 5 is vertically arranged inside the fixed tube 1. The top of the adjusting rod 5 extends beyond the fixed tube 1. A motor or motor is installed on the top of the adjusting rod 5 to drive its rotation. The motor or motor constitutes a drive assembly for driving the adjusting rod 5 to rotate. The outer side wall of the adjusting rod 5 has an external thread. The adjusting rod 5 is fitted with a sleeve 8 that is threaded to it. The inner side wall of the sleeve 8 has an internal thread.

[0026] A first magnet block 9 with a ring structure is fixedly sleeved on the sleeve 8, and a second magnet block 3 with a ring structure is fixed on the inner side wall of the movable block 2. The first magnet block 9 and the second magnet block 3 are magnetically attracted to each other. Since the second magnet block 3 and the first magnet block 9 are both ring structures, the second magnet block 3 and the first magnet block 9 can be like magnetic poles. The second magnet block 3 is suspended on the outside of the fixed tube 1 by repulsion. The second magnet block 3 and the first magnet block 9 can also be opposite poles. The second magnet block 3 is also suspended on the fixed tube 1 by the attraction between the first magnet block 9 and the second magnet block 3. The second magnet block 3 moves up and down by the up and down movement of the first magnet block 9 inside. The second magnet block 3 and the first magnet block 9 are high-temperature neodymium iron boron magnets, which have strong magnetism and can work in water above 100 degrees. In some embodiments, the second magnet block 3 and the first magnet block 9 can also be samarium cobalt magnets.

[0027] The height of the second magnet block 3 is less than the height of the first magnet block 9, thereby increasing the magnetic attraction range of the first magnet block 9 to the second magnet block 3.

[0028] The outer wall of the sleeve 8 has an "I"-shaped structure. The height of the first magnet block 9 is less than the height of the sleeve 8. The first magnet block 9 is fixedly fitted into the middle of the sleeve 8 to prevent it from detaching from the upper and lower ends of the sleeve 8. To install the first magnet block 9, the sleeve 8 can be composed of three parts: a central tube and annular blocks at the upper and lower ends. The outer diameter of the central tube is smaller than the outer diameter of the annular blocks. After the first magnet block 9 is fitted onto the central tube, the annular blocks and the two ends of the central tube are fixed to form the structure of the sleeve 8, thus completing the process. The installation of the first magnet block 9 is completed; a groove for embedding the second magnet block 3 is provided on the inner side wall of the middle part of the movable block 2. The groove is circular and the height of the second magnet block 3 is less than the height of the movable block 2. The second magnet block 3 is installed in the groove to prevent the second magnet block 3 from detaching from the inner side wall of the movable block 2. In order to install the second magnet block 3, the top of the groove is flush with the top of the movable block 2. The second magnet block 3 can be placed into the groove from the top of the movable block 2. Then, a ring-shaped baffle is fixed on the top of the groove.

[0029] A sealing block 4 is fixed to the bottom end of the fixed tube 1 to seal the bottom end. The sealing block 4 is a circular plate with the same diameter as the outer diameter of the fixed tube 1. The material of the sealing block 4 is the same as that of the fixed tube 1. The sealing block 4 can prevent water in the teapot from entering the fixed tube 1 from the bottom.

[0030] A top plate 6 is fixed to the top of the fixed tube 1. The top plate 6 is a circular plate with a diameter that matches the outer diameter of the fixed tube 1. A rotating groove is provided on the top of the sealing block 4 for the top of the adjusting rod 5 to be inserted. A first bearing is installed between the adjusting rod 5 and the rotating groove. A first through hole is provided on the top plate 6 for the top of the adjusting rod 5 to pass through. The top of the adjusting rod 5 passes through the first through hole and is located above the top plate 6. A second bearing is installed between the adjusting rod 5 and the first through hole, allowing the adjusting rod 5 to rotate freely inside the fixed tube 1. An external thread is provided on the outer wall of the adjusting rod 5 between the top plate 6 and the sealing block 4.

[0031] A sealing ring 7 is provided at the opening of the groove. The thickness of the second magnet 3 is less than the depth of the groove. The sealing ring 7 is fixed at the opening of the groove. The sealing ring 7 can prevent the second magnet 3 from contacting the water in the teapot. The sealing ring 7 is made of food-grade silicone, which can be boiled in water at 100 degrees Celsius for a long time and is harmless to the human body. In some embodiments, the sealing ring 7 can also be made of polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0032] A first limiting block 11 is fixed to the outer wall of the sleeve 8. A first sliding groove 1.1 is formed on the inner wall of the fixing tube 1 for the insertion and vertical sliding of the first limiting block 11. The vertical sliding of the first limiting block 11 within the first sliding groove 1.1 restricts the rotation of the sleeve 8, allowing it to move only up and down. To better limit the movement of the sleeve 8, four first limiting blocks 11 are provided, symmetrically fixed in pairs to the outer wall of the sleeve 8. Two first limiting blocks 11 on the same side are fixed to the outer walls of the upper and lower ends of the sleeve 8, respectively. Two first sliding grooves 1.1 are symmetrically formed on the inner wall of the fixing tube 1. This section constitutes the limiting assembly for restricting the rotation of the sleeve 8 within the fixing tube 1.

[0033] In some embodiments, the limiting component may also have a guide rod vertically fixed inside the fixing tube 1, with a ring sleeved on the guide rod. The ring is fixed to the side wall of the sleeve 8, and the rotation of the sleeve 8 can also be limited by the ring and the guide rod.

[0034] The inner wall of the movable block 2 is fixed with a second limiting block 10, and the outer wall of the fixed tube 1 is provided with a second sliding groove 1.2 for the second limiting block 10 to be inserted and slide up and down. The rotation of the movable block 2 and the second magnet block 3 is restricted by the second limiting block 10 sliding up and down in the second sliding groove 1.2. Of course, there can also be 4 second limiting blocks 10, symmetrically distributed in pairs, and the two second limiting blocks 10 on the same side are fixed at the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the movable block 2.

[0035] In use, by driving the adjusting rod 5 to rotate, the sleeve 8 is restricted from rotating and can only move up and down. Thus, by rotating the adjusting rod 5, the sleeve 8 can move up and down. The sleeve 8 will drive the first magnet block 9 to move up and down, which in turn drives the second magnet block 3 to move up and down. The second magnet block 3 then drives the tea basket to move up and down through the movable block 2, thereby adjusting the height of the tea basket. Example

[0036] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 5 As shown, a technical solution is also provided as a tea basket, including a tea basket body, the tea basket body including a tea body 13 and a tea lid, the tea body 13 is made of mesh stainless steel, and the movable block 2 is connected to the side wall of the tea body 13.

[0037] Two clamping blocks 12 are horizontally fixed to the side wall of the tea body 13. The two clamping blocks 12 are made of elastic material, such as iron or stainless steel sheets. The gap between the two clamping blocks 12 is the same as the thickness of the movable block 2. The two clamping blocks 12 are aligned with the movable block 2, causing the movable block 2 to be engaged between the two clamping blocks 12. The clamping blocks 12 hold the movable block 2, connecting the tea body 13 and the movable block 2 in a detachable manner, making the disassembly and installation of the tea body 13 relatively easy. Convenient; in some embodiments, the connection between the tea body 13 and the movable block 2 can also allow the two clamping blocks 12 to be in a vertical state, with one clamping block 12 fixed to the side wall of the tea body 13, and the tops of the two clamping blocks 12 fixed by a horizontal connecting plate. The movable block 2 has a slot for inserting the clamping block 12 away from the tea body 13. The thickness of the slot near the outer wall of the movable block 2 is equal to the distance between the two clamping blocks 12. The clamping block 12 away from the tea body 13 is inserted into the slot, so that the two clamping blocks 12 are clamped on the side wall of the slot. The weight of the tea body 13, the clamping block 12, the movable block 2, and the second magnet block 3 is less than the magnetic force of the second magnet block 3 and the first magnet block 9.
