[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model has two embodiments, which will now be described separately.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] like Figures 1 to 8As shown in this embodiment, a triggering mechanism allows water to flow whether pressed or not. The triggering mechanism 22 is mounted on a base 11 of the main body 1 of the tea maker 100. It triggers the sealing ball 21 on the water outlet 201 of the teapot 2 to open the water outlet 201. The triggering mechanism 22 includes a trigger rod 225, with a pivot shaft 2253 at its center that is pivotally connected to the base 11. The pivot shaft 2253 is parallel to the horizontal plane. One end of the trigger rod 225 has a trigger part 2251 for triggering the sealing ball 21 to open the water outlet 201. The other end of the rod 225 is pivotally connected to a pressing rod 227. The rotation axis between the trigger rod 225 and the pressing rod 227 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The pressing rod 227 can swing left and right relative to the trigger rod 225. The outer end of the pressing rod 227 is provided with a pressing part 2271 located outside the support 11. The support 11 is provided with a clearance hole 111 to avoid the pressing rod 227. The clearance hole 111 is elongated. One side of the lower end of the clearance hole 111 is provided with a locking slot 112 that can lock the pressing rod 227 after the pressing part 2271 moves down. The locking slot 112 is connected to the clearance hole 111. The triggering mechanism of this invention allows the triggering part of the trigger rod to tilt upwards when the pressing part is pressed down, thereby triggering the sealing ball to open the water outlet and allow the brewed tea to flow out of the teapot. At this time, the user can keep pressing the pressing part to maintain the tea-dispensing state; alternatively, the pressing part can be moved (left or right depending on the position of the latch relative to the clearance hole) to make the pressing rod engage in the latch. Once the pressing rod is engaged, no external force needs to be applied to the pressing part to maintain the tea-dispensing state. Moving the pressing part in the opposite direction to disengage the pressing rod from the latch unlocks and resets the device. It has the advantages of being easy to use and not burning the hands.
[0031] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a connecting hole 2250 is provided at the other end of the trigger rod 225, and a connecting pin 2272 is provided on the pressing rod 227 to be rotatably connected to the connecting hole 2250. The axis of the connecting pin 2272 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The above design has the advantages of simple structure and convenient use.
[0032] In this embodiment, the triggering mechanism 22 further includes: a first tea guide tube 221, a second tea guide tube 222, a locking member 223, and a push rod 224. The first tea guide tube 221 is connected to the support 11 and can be detachably connected to the water outlet 201. The second tea guide tube 222 is made of elastic material. The locking member 223 is connected to the support 11 and seals the upper edge of the second tea guide tube 222 with the lower edge of the first tea guide tube 221. The second tea guide tube 222 has a water outlet channel 2220 that seals with the first tea guide tube 221. The bottom of the push rod 224 is connected to the second tea guide tube 222 and can move with the second tea guide tube 222. The trigger rod 225 is connected to the support 11 and is used to drive the second tea guide tube 222 to move upward, thereby driving the push rod 224 to move upward, thus triggering the sealing ball 21 to open the water outlet 201. The second tea guide tube of the triggering mechanism is made of elastic material, and the push rod is connected inside the second tea guide tube. The trigger rod drives the second tea guide tube to move upward, which in turn drives the push rod to move upward, thereby triggering the sealing ball to open the water outlet. The locking part can make the upper edge of the second tea guide tube and the lower edge of the first tea guide tube seal and connect, ensuring the reliability of the seal and avoiding water leakage. It has the advantage of good sealing effect.
[0033] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the second tea guide tube 222 is provided with a recess 22201 that is recessed into the water outlet channel 2220. The middle part of the trigger rod 225 is hinged to the support 11. One end of the trigger rod 225 is provided with a trigger part 2251 that can be inserted into the recess 22201, and the other end of the trigger rod 225 is provided with a pressing part 2271. When the pressing part 2271 of the trigger rod 225 is pressed down, the trigger part 2251 can be driven to tilt upward, thereby driving the second tea guide tube 222 to move upward, thereby driving the push rod 224 to move upward, thus triggering the sealing ball 21 to act and opening the water outlet 201. The trigger part 2251 is inserted into the recess 22201 of the second tea guide tube 222. When the pressing part 2252 of the trigger rod 225 is pressed down, the trigger part 2251 can be driven to tilt upward, thereby driving the second tea guide tube 222 to move upward.
[0034] In order to quickly reset after the pressing force of the pressing part 2252 is removed, an elastic element 226 is provided between the support 11 and the trigger part 2251 to drive the second tea guide tube 222 to reset downward.
[0035] In this embodiment, the trigger part 2251 is provided with a "U" shaped latch 22510, which can be inserted into the recess 22201.
[0036] In this embodiment, the lower end of the push rod 224 is connected to an annular positioning ring 2241. The second tea guide tube 222 has an annular positioning groove 22202 that matches the positioning ring 2241, and the positioning ring 2241 is connected within the annular positioning groove 22202. With this design, the positioning ring 2241 can be engaged within the annular positioning groove 22202, ensuring that the push rod 224 moves synchronously with the second tea guide tube 222. Furthermore, the structure is simple and the cost is low. The second tea guide tube 222 is made of an elastic material (e.g., silicone), which allows the positioning ring 2241 at the lower end of the push rod 224 to be easily engaged within the annular positioning groove.
[0037] In this embodiment, in order to keep the push rod 224 accurately aligned with the sealing ring, a guide hole 2210 for guiding the push rod 224 is provided in the first tea guide tube 221.
[0038] To ensure a reliable seal between the lower edge of the first tea guide tube 221 and the upper edge of the second tea guide tube 222, the lower edge of the first tea guide tube 221 is provided with a sealing edge A2211, and the upper edge of the second tea guide tube 222 is provided with a sealing edge B2221 that matches the sealing edge A2211. The locking member 223 is provided with a circular locking edge for locking the sealing edges A2211 and B2221 onto the support 11. The circular locking edge locks the sealing edges A and B together onto the support.
[0039] Implementation 2:
[0040] In Embodiment 1, the trigger rod 225 has a pivot shaft 2253 at its middle portion that is pivotally connected to the base 11, and a pressing rod 227 is pivotally connected to the other end of the trigger rod 225. By pressing the pressing rod 227 downwards, the trigger rod 225 can be moved, and the pressing rod 227 can also swing left and right relative to the trigger rod 225. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the trigger rod 225 has a ball head at its middle portion that is hinged to the base 11. Therefore, the trigger rod can not only swing up and down relative to the base 11, but also swing left and right relative to the base 11 (without the pressing rod in Embodiment 1).
[0041] The specific structure of Embodiment 2 is as follows: This embodiment provides a triggering mechanism that allows water to flow whether pressed or not. The triggering mechanism 22 is mounted on the support 11 of the main body 1 of the tea maker 100, and is used to trigger the sealing ball 21 on the water outlet 201 of the teapot 2 to open the water outlet 201. The triggering mechanism 22 includes: a trigger rod 225, the middle of which has a ball head 2254 hinged to the support 11, and one end of the trigger rod 225... A triggering part 2251 is provided to trigger the sealing ball 21 to open the outlet 201. The other end of the triggering rod 225 is provided with a pressing part located outside the base 11. The base 11 is provided with a clearance hole 111 to avoid the triggering rod 225. The clearance hole 111 is elongated. One side of the lower end of the clearance hole 111 is provided with a locking slot 112 that can lock the triggering rod 225 when the pressing part moves down. The locking slot 112 is connected to the clearance hole 111. In this embodiment, the triggering rod can not only swing up and down relative to the base 11, and trigger the sealing ball 21 to open the outlet 201 during the up and down swinging process; the triggering rod can also swing left and right relative to the base 11, and can be locked into the locking slot 112 during the left and right swinging process to maintain the current position, so as to continuously release water.
[0042] This utility model discloses a tea brewing device 100, comprising: a teapot 2, a tea dispenser 3, and a main unit 1. The main unit 1 is provided with a support 11. The teapot 2 is detachably mounted on the support 11, and the bottom of the teapot 2 is provided with a water outlet 201. The support 11 is provided with a tea guide tube 12 that connects to the water outlet 201. The tea dispenser 3 is detachably mounted on the main unit 1 and is used to collect the tea soup flowing out from the tea guide tube 12. The teapot 2 is provided with a sealing ball 21 that can close the water outlet 201. The support 11 is provided with a triggering mechanism 22 for triggering the sealing ball 21 to open the water outlet 201. The triggering mechanism 22 is the triggering mechanism 22 described above. This utility model of a tea maker allows users to continuously press the pressing part to maintain the tea-pouring state while adding tea; alternatively, the pressing part can be moved (left or right depending on the position of the latch relative to the clearance hole) to engage the pressing rod in the latch. Once the pressing rod is engaged, no external force needs to be applied to the pressing part to maintain the tea-pouring state. Moving the pressing part in the opposite direction to disengage the pressing rod from the latch unlocks and resets the tea maker. It is convenient to use and will not burn your hands.
