Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of teaware, and in particular to a tea pot that can be quickly cleaned and disinfected. Background Technology

[0002] Drinking tea is a major part of Chinese people's lifestyle. Currently, automatic tea makers are available on the market for easier tea preparation. These automatic tea makers typically have a heating element for boiling or heating water. To brew tea, hot water is poured into a container with a tea basket, or the tea basket is submerged in hot water by its up-and-down motion. After steeping for a period of time, the tea leaves and water automatically separate. When using an automatic tea maker, teaware is still essential. After using teaware to entertain relatives and friends at home, it is often necessary to clean and disinfect the teaware for reuse.

[0003] Traditionally, the steps for cleaning and disinfecting teaware are as follows: First, thoroughly clean the teaware with detergent to remove surface stains and grease; then place the teaware in a steam sterilizer or steam chamber and set the sterilization program according to the instructions. Steam sterilization typically requires maintaining a temperature above 90℃ for about 20 minutes. After sterilization, remove the teaware and let it air dry or wipe it dry with a clean towel. This method of sterilizing teaware is time-consuming and laborious.

[0004] Based on this, Chinese patent CN212118642U discloses a teaware sterilizer, which includes a pot body, a bottom cover connected to the bottom of the pot body and equipped with a coupler, and a lid for closing the pot body. An ultraviolet sterilization device electrically connected to the coupler is vertically arranged on the inner bottom of the pot body. The ultraviolet sterilization device is equipped with a control switch, and a guide device is provided at the bottom of the lid. When the lid closes the pot body, the guide device is positioned directly above the ultraviolet sterilization device, and the guide device triggers the control switch to open, at which point the ultraviolet sterilization device begins to operate. When the lid is removed from the pot body, the guide device moves away from the ultraviolet sterilization device, the control switch closes, and the ultraviolet sterilization device stops operating. This teaware sterilizer can effectively sterilize teaware inside the pot from all angles and has a wide range of applications.

[0005] However, the aforementioned teaware sterilizers still suffer from technical problems related to poor cleaning effectiveness. Specifically, existing teaware sterilizers primarily use ultraviolet (UV) light for sterilization. The principle of UV sterilization is to use UV light of appropriate wavelengths to destroy the molecular structure of DNA or RNA in microbial cells, leading to the death of growing or regenerating cells, thereby achieving sterilization. However, in practical applications, teaware is often washed and sterilized immediately after use. Therefore, when teaware is irradiated with UV light, it is often soaked in water or has a lot of residual tea on its surface. UV light is absorbed by many substances in the water, such as phenols, aromatic compounds, and other organic matter, as well as certain biological or inorganic substances. Tea contains many polyphenols and inorganic salts, which can affect the sterilization effect of UV light. Furthermore, it is difficult to find a suitable light source within the sterilizer to ensure uniform UV radiation throughout the processing space, resulting in shadowed areas that affect the sterilization effect in those areas. Therefore, existing teaware sterilizers often do not achieve sufficient cleanliness after sterilization, requiring further manual cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 This utility model discloses a quick-cleaning and disinfecting tea pot, comprising: a tea pot body 1, a base 2, a heating element 3, an ultrasonic transducer 4, a control module 5, and a power socket 6; the base 2 is disposed below the tea pot body 1, and the heating element 3, the ultrasonic transducer 4, and the control module 5 are respectively disposed between the tea pot body 1 and the base 2; the heating element 3 and the ultrasonic transducer 4 are disposed in close contact with the bottom of the tea pot body 1, and the control module 5 is connected to the heating element 3 and the ultrasonic transducer 4 respectively; the power socket 6 is disposed in the base 2, and the power socket 6 is electrically connected to the control module 5.

[0028] Specifically, when the quick-cleaning and disinfecting tea pot of this invention is in operation, the power socket 6 is connected to an external power plug, thereby connecting to an external power source to supply power to the heating element 3, the ultrasonic transducer 4, and the control module 5 respectively. Subsequently, when the user places the teaware to be cleaned into the tea pot body 1 and pours water into the tea pot body 1 to cover the teaware, the control module 5 can cause the heating element 3 to generate heat, thereby heating the water in the tea pot body 1 to reach a preset disinfection temperature, such as 100℃. Simultaneously, the ultrasonic transducer 4 also starts working, transmitting ultrasonic energy to the water in the tea pot body 1, so that dirt on the surface of the teaware placed in the water can be vibrated by the ultrasonic waves and detached from the surface of the teaware into the water; thus, the cleaning of the teaware is completed. Subsequently, the control module 5 heats the water in the teapot body 1 according to a preset program and maintains ultrasonic cleaning for a preset time, for example, maintaining heating and ultrasonic cleaning for 20 minutes. After that, the user can take out the teaware and use it directly without having to dry it again. Therefore, this utility model of a rapid cleaning and disinfecting teapot not only provides quick and thorough cleaning and disinfection of teaware but also eliminates the need for subsequent operations, making it very convenient to use.

[0029] Furthermore, the main body 1 of the teapot has a pot body 101 and a lid 102; the lid 102 is movably disposed on the pot body 101; the lid 102 has a heat-resistant lid edge 102a, a transparent window 102b, and a sealing lid seat 102c; the heat-resistant lid edge 102a is movably disposed on the pot body 101, the transparent window 102b is disposed in the heat-resistant lid edge 102a, the sealing lid seat 102c is connected below the heat-resistant lid edge 102a, and the sealing lid seat 102c is movably connected to the upper part of the pot body 101.

[0030] Specifically, the anti-scalding cover edge 102a has a brim-like structure, preferably made of heat-resistant plastic or rubber. It is circular and tightly fitted outside the transparent viewing window 102b to prevent burns when the user opens the cover 102. The transparent viewing window 102b can be made of light-transmitting plastic or glass, allowing the user to easily observe the teaware placed inside the pot 101. Furthermore, a sealing cover seat 102c, preferably made of heat-resistant rubber, is provided at the bottom of the anti-scalding cover edge 102a to ensure a tight seal when the cover 102 is closed onto the pot 101, thereby accelerating the heating process of the water inside the pot 101.

[0032] Specifically, to save costs, the base cavity 201 and the seat 202 can be made of plastic, unlike the material of the pot body 101, which is preferably made of stainless steel. However, for aesthetic and durability considerations, the base cavity 201 and the seat 202 can also be made of stainless steel or other materials. The base cavity 201 mainly serves as a housing for the control components, and also facilitates the later maintenance and replacement of components such as the heating element 3, the ultrasonic transducer 4, and the control module 5.

[0033] Furthermore, the heating element 3 is a heating wire or heating ring, mainly used to convert electrical energy into heat energy; the control module 5 mainly consists of necessary electronic control components such as a control circuit board, so as to realize functions such as automatic temperature control, automatic control of ultrasonic energy, and time.

[0034] Furthermore, the ultrasonic transducer 4 is provided with an acoustic window 401, a piezoelectric ceramic disc transducer 402, a lead-out terminal 403, and a backing member 404; the acoustic window 401 is connected to the bottom of the pot body 101, the piezoelectric ceramic disc transducer 402 is disposed below the acoustic window 401, the lead-out terminal 403 is connected to the piezoelectric ceramic disc transducer 402, and the control module 5 is electrically connected to the lead-out terminal 403; the backing member 404 is disposed in the base cavity 201, and the backing member 404 is connected to the piezoelectric ceramic disc transducer 402.

[0035] Specifically, the acoustic window 401 can transmit ultrasonic waves to the pot body 101 so that teaware and other utensils placed inside can be cleaned by ultrasonic energy vibration; the piezoelectric ceramic disc transducer 402 is made of a thickness-polarized piezoelectric material and is used to transmit and receive ultrasonic signals; the lead-out terminal 403 can electrically connect the piezoelectric ceramic disc transducer 402 to the control module 5.

[0036] In summary, this utility model provides a rapid cleaning and disinfection teapot comprising a teapot body 1, a base 2, a heating element 3, an ultrasonic transducer 4, a control module 5, and a power socket 6. The base 2 is positioned below the teapot body 1, and the heating element 3, the ultrasonic transducer 4, and the control module 5 are respectively positioned between the teapot body 1 and the base 2. The heating element 3 and the ultrasonic transducer 4 are tightly attached to the bottom of the teapot body 1, and the control module 5 is connected to both the heating element 3 and the ultrasonic transducer 4. The power socket 6 is located within the base 2 and is electrically connected to the control module 5.

Therefore, this utility model solves the technical problem of improving the cleaning effect of teaware.

[0037] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
