Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea brewing devices, and in particular to a tea brewing device with controllable drainage. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional tea culture, the control of water temperature, steeping time, and the timing of tea-water separation during the tea-brewing process directly affects the quality of the tea soup. However, existing tea-brewing utensils generally do not allow for automatic drainage control.

[0003] For example, the patent with prior art authorization announcement number CN204889453U discloses a tea brewing device, which aims to solve the problem that the lid and teacup of the prior art tea brewing device are not easy to separate. It includes a lid, an outer cup and an inner cup set inside the outer cup. The lid is fixed to the top of the outer cup. The tea brewing device includes a connector, which is fixedly connected to the outer cup. The connector includes a buckling mechanism, which includes at least one buckle.

[0004] However, during the use of this tea maker, it was found that after the tea was steeped, it was not easy to control the automatic discharge of the tea, which increased the need for people to manually pour out the tea to separate it from the water. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a tea brewer with controllable drainage that reduces the complexity of separating tea leaves from water and improves the convenience of automatic drainage.

[0006] This utility model discloses a tea maker with controllable drainage, comprising a teapot body and an inner liner, the inner liner being installed at the top opening of the teapot body; it also includes a control device, a sealing device, the inner liner, a drain tank, a filter screen, and a ball. The drain tank is connected and positioned eccentrically at the bottom of the inner liner, the filter screen is installed at the top opening of the drain tank, and the ball is positioned at the bottom opening of the drain tank. The control device is installed on the drain tank and the filter screen to control and adjust the lifting and lowering movement of the ball. The sealing device is located at the top opening of the teapot body. Tea leaves are placed inside the inner liner, and then hot water is poured into the inner liner to soak the tea leaves. Initially, the ball, under gravity, is located at the bottom of the drain tank, sealing the bottom opening of the drain tank. After the tea has soaked, the control device moves the ball upwards, creating a gap between the ball and the bottom opening of the drain tank. This allows the tea in the inner liner to drain through the bottom opening of the drain tank into the teapot body, while the tea leaves are filtered and separated by the filter screen. This reduces the complexity of manually separating tea leaves from water and improves the convenience of automatic drainage.

[0007] Preferably, the control device includes a sleeve, a protective tube, an inner core, a first magnet, a second magnet, and a third magnet. The bottom end of the sleeve is connected to the top end of the filter screen. The protective tube is slidably installed inside the sleeve, with its lower part extending into the drainage tank. The inner core is located inside the protective tube. The first magnet is installed at the top end of the inner core, the second magnet is installed at the bottom end of the inner core, and the third magnet is installed on the sealing device. In the initial state, the protective tube and the inner core slide downwards under gravity. At this time, the bottom end of the protective tube contacts the top end of the sphere, and the second magnet is magnetically connected to the sphere. When the third magnet is moved to the position corresponding to the top end of the sleeve, a magnetic force is generated between the third magnet and the first magnet, which causes the first magnet to drive the inner core upwards. The inner core then drives the sphere upwards through the second magnet. When the cover is rotated further to move the third magnet away from the first magnet, the magnetism weakens, causing the inner core to slide downwards and reset, thus improving the convenience of automatic drainage control.

[0008] Preferably, the sealing device includes a lid and a silicone sealing ring. The silicone sealing ring is disposed on the outer wall of the inner liner. The lid is rotatably installed at the top opening of the pot body. The third magnet is installed at the bottom eccentric position inside the lid. By rotating the lid, the third magnet can be moved circumferentially, which facilitates the control and adjustment of the lifting and lowering movement of the ball by the third magnet. The silicone sealing ring limits the position of the inner liner, improving its positional stability. When a magnetic force is generated between the third magnet and the first magnet, the attraction force fixes the lid, and the lid will not fall off even when the pot body is inverted.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a handle, which is installed on the outer wall of the pot body; by providing a handle, the convenience of personnel to grasp and operate the pot body is improved.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting ring is provided on the inner wall of the kettle, and the inner liner is hooked and installed on the inner wall of the kettle through the limiting ring; this improves the convenience of loading and unloading the inner liner and reduces the complexity of the structure.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the cover is provided with anti-slip texture; this improves the convenience for personnel to rotate the cover.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: tea leaves are placed inside the inner liner, and then hot water is poured into the inner liner to soak the tea leaves. In the initial state, the ball is located at the bottom of the drain tank under the influence of gravity and the bottom opening of the drain tank is sealed. After the tea is soaked, the ball is moved upward by the operation control device. At this time, a gap is formed between the ball and the bottom opening of the drain tank, so that the tea in the inner liner is discharged into the pot body through the bottom opening of the drain tank. The tea leaves are filtered and separated by the filter screen, thereby reducing the complexity of the operation of separating tea leaves and water by personnel and improving the convenience of automatic drainage.

[0019] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a tea brewer with controllable drainage, including a teapot body 1 and an inner liner 2, with the inner liner 2 installed at the top opening of the teapot body 1; it also includes a control device, a sealing device, the inner liner 2, a drain tank 3, a filter screen 4, and a ball 5. The drain tank 3 is connected and disposed at an eccentric position at the bottom of the inner liner 2, the filter screen 4 is installed at the top opening of the drain tank 3, and the ball 5 is disposed at the bottom opening of the drain tank 3. The drain tank 3 and the filter screen 4 are provided with a control device, which is used to control and adjust the lifting and moving movement of the ball 5. The sealing device is disposed at the top opening of the teapot body 1.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the control device includes a sleeve 6, a protective tube 7, an inner core 8, a first magnet 9, a second magnet 10, and a third magnet 12. The bottom end of the sleeve 6 is connected to the top end of the filter screen 4. The protective tube 7 is slidably installed inside the sleeve 6, and the lower part of the protective tube 7 extends into the drain tank 3. The inner core 8 is set inside the protective tube 7. The first magnet 9 is installed at the top end of the inner core 8, the second magnet 10 is installed at the bottom end of the inner core 8, and the third magnet 12 is installed on the sealing device.

[0023] In this embodiment, tea leaves are placed inside the inner liner 2, and then hot water is poured into the inner liner 2 to soak the tea leaves. Initially, the sphere 5 is located at the bottom of the drain tank 3 under gravity, sealing the bottom opening of the drain tank 3. After the tea is soaked, the sphere 5 is moved upward by the operation control device. At this time, a gap is formed between the sphere 5 and the bottom opening of the drain tank 3, so that the tea in the inner liner 2 is discharged into the pot body 1 through the bottom opening of the drain tank 3. The tea leaves are filtered and separated by the filter screen 4, thereby reducing the complexity of the operation of separating tea leaves from water and improving the convenience of automatic drainage.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a tea brewer with controllable drainage. The sealing device includes a lid 11 and a silicone sealing ring 13. The silicone sealing ring 13 is disposed on the outer wall of the inner liner 2. The lid 11 is rotatably installed at the top opening of the pot body 1. The third magnet 12 is installed at the bottom eccentric position inside the lid 11.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a handle 14, which is mounted on the outer wall of the pot body 1;

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, a limiting ring is provided on the inner wall of the kettle body 1, and the inner liner 2 is hooked and installed on the inner wall of the kettle body 1 through the limiting ring.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the cover 11 is provided with anti-slip texture;

[0029] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the protective tube 7 and the inner core 8 slide downwards under gravity. At this time, the bottom end of the protective tube 7 contacts the top end of the sphere 5, and the second magnet 10 is magnetically connected to the sphere 5. When the personnel move the third magnet 12 to the position corresponding to the top end of the sleeve 6, a magnetic force is generated between the third magnet 12 and the first magnet 9, which causes the first magnet 9 to drive the inner core 8 to move upwards. The inner core 8 then drives the sphere 5 to move upwards through the second magnet 10. When the cover 11 is rotated further to move the third magnet 12 away from the first magnet 9, the magnetism weakens and the inner core 8 slides downwards to reset, improving the convenience of automatic drainage control. By rotating the cover 11, the personnel can drive the third magnet 12 to move circumferentially, making it easier for the third magnet 12 to control and adjust the lifting and lowering movement of the sphere 5.

[0030] This utility model discloses a tea brewer with controllable drainage. When in operation, tea leaves are placed inside the inner liner 2, and then hot water is poured into the inner liner 2 to soak the tea leaves. In the initial state, the ball 5 is located at the bottom of the drain tank 3 under gravity and blocks the bottom opening of the drain tank 3. After the tea is soaked, the ball 5 is moved upward by the operation control device. At this time, a gap is formed between the ball 5 and the bottom opening of the drain tank 3, so that the tea in the inner liner 2 is discharged into the pot body 1 through the bottom opening of the drain tank 3, and the tea leaves are filtered and separated by the filter screen 4.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
