Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tea utensil technology, and relates to a tea dregs collection device and a tea table. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of living standards, tea drinking has become an increasingly popular way for people to relax, chat with friends, and conduct business. Tea tables are commonly found in offices and living rooms to hold teapots, teacups, and other tea-making tools. However, traditional tea tables are often limited in function; while some can drain water, they cannot collect tea leaves. The common method for disposing of tea leaves is to simply pour them into the trash can. This easily leads to bacterial growth when the leaves mix with other garbage, especially in summer, attracting flies and mosquitoes and causing unpleasant odors. Furthermore, tea leaves have many uses in daily life, such as making tea eggs, tea pillows, absorbing odors, and foot baths; simply throwing them away results in significant waste.
[0003] Therefore, in daily life, a special tea residue bin is usually placed next to the tea table to collect tea residue. This tea residue bin filters out the tea water, leaving the tea residue, which can then be recycled. For example, Chinese Patent CN203682286U discloses a water-filtering tea residue bin, which includes a bin body, a bin lid, and a filter basin. The filter basin is placed inside the bin body. When in use, tea water containing tea leaves is poured directly onto the filter basin. After filtration, the tea residue is separated and left in the filter basin. After the tea residue dries, it can be recycled.
[0004] However, current tea dregs collection devices like tea dregs buckets have the following drawbacks: 1. The tea dregs bucket is far from the tea table, making it inconvenient for people to easily pour and collect the tea dregs. 2. Due to the high water content of tea dregs, the current method of collecting them by air drying easily leads to foul odors, bacterial growth, and unsanitary conditions. 3. Air drying takes a relatively long time, resulting in low collection efficiency and inconvenience. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a tea dregs collection device and a tea table. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to make the collection and processing of tea dregs convenient, hygienic, and efficient.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A tea residue collection device includes a cylindrical body and a collection spoon located at the upper end of the cylindrical body and having a water filter hole at the bottom. The device is characterized in that a heat-conducting block capable of generating heat is fixed inside the cylindrical body, the heat-conducting block has an inwardly recessed heating cavity with its opening facing upward, a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the heating cavity, and the bottom of the collection spoon is located inside the heating cavity.
[0008] This device has the function of drying tea dregs, which makes the collection and processing of tea dregs hygienic and efficient. By fixing a heat-conducting block inside the cylinder, which has a concave heating chamber facing upwards, and further designing the concave heating chamber on the heat-conducting block, with the bottom of the collecting spoon located within the heating chamber, and a drain hole at the bottom of the heating chamber, this design allows tea water mixed with tea leaves to flow into the heating chamber through the filter holes of the collecting spoon, and then out through the drain hole to a drain pipe or wastewater collection bucket, leaving only tea leaves in the collecting spoon. Simultaneously, the heat from the heat-conducting block heats the bottom of the collecting spoon within the heating chamber, rapidly drying the tea leaves. This makes the tea leaf collection process fast, efficient, and less prone to bacterial growth and odor, thus maintaining hygiene. Furthermore, after drying, the collecting spoon can be removed, and the dried tea leaves can be transferred and packaged for recycling, making subsequent tea leaf collection and processing very convenient.
[0009] In the aforementioned tea residue collection device, the heating chamber is hemispherical, and the bottom of the collection spoon is hemispherical and adapted to the shape of the heating chamber, with the outer surface of the bottom of the collection spoon in contact with the inner surface of the heating chamber. This design of the heating chamber and the collection spoon's shape and fit improves the drying efficiency of the heat-conducting block on the tea residue inside the collection spoon, thereby increasing the tea residue collection efficiency.
[0010] In the aforementioned tea residue collection device, a heater is embedded within the heat-conducting block; an annular groove is formed on the upper surface of the heat-conducting block, and the heater is an annular heating block embedded within the groove. This heater design within the heat-conducting block increases its heating efficiency, thereby improving the drying speed of the tea residue and ultimately increasing the efficiency of tea residue collection and processing.
[0011] In the aforementioned tea dregs collection device, the upper edge of the cylinder has an annular flange, and the upper surface of the flange has a recessed clearance hole. The upper port of the cylinder is located within this clearance hole. By designing the clearance hole, its opening is larger than the upper port of the cylinder. This allows users to use the clearance hole as a reference when placing the collection scoop, enabling them to quickly locate the upper port of the cylinder. This makes placing and removing the collection scoop more convenient and efficient, thus improving the overall convenience of the tea dregs collection process.
[0012] In the aforementioned tea dregs collection device, the collection spoon has a long, narrow handle, and a limiting recess with both ends extending through it is provided on the upper side of the flange. The handle is located within the limiting recess. This design of the limiting recess facilitates the placement and positioning of the handle, making it easier and faster to pick up and put down the collection spoon, thus improving the overall convenience of the tea dregs collection process.
[0013] In the aforementioned tea residue collection device, a base is fixed to the lower end of the cylinder, and a power socket is provided on the base. This design of the power socket location makes it convenient to plug in the power cord.
[0014] A tea table includes a tabletop and a tea dregs collection device. The tea dregs collection device includes a cylindrical body and a collection spoon located at the upper end of the cylindrical body and having a water-filtering hole at the bottom. The tabletop has an installation hole, the upper end of the cylindrical body is embedded in the installation hole, and the lower end is located below the tabletop. A heat-conducting block capable of generating heat is fixed inside the cylindrical body. The heat-conducting block has an inwardly recessed heating cavity with an upward-facing opening. A drain hole is located at the bottom of the heating cavity, and the bottom of the collection spoon is located inside the heating cavity.
[0015] Unlike existing tea dregs buckets, which are separate tea dregs collection devices, this device can be directly embedded in the tea table, allowing people to easily pour and collect tea dregs while drinking tea, which is very convenient. Specifically, by making an installation hole in the tabletop, the upper end of the cylinder is embedded in the installation hole, and the lower end is located below the tabletop, so that this device can be embedded as part of the tea table.
[0016] In the aforementioned tea table, the upper edge of the cylindrical body has an annular flange, the outer diameter of which is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole, and the lower end face of which abuts against the upper surface of the tabletop. A retaining ring is detachably connected to the outer surface of the cylindrical body, located below the tabletop and abutting against its lower surface. This flange and retaining ring design allows the cylindrical body to be easily and reliably installed on the tabletop, and both assembly and disassembly are convenient.
[0017] In the aforementioned tea table, the collecting spoon has a long, narrow handle. A limiting notch extending through both ends is provided on the upper side of the flange. The handle is located within this limiting notch, which is arranged along the length of the tabletop. This design allows the handle to be positioned parallel to the length of the tabletop, making it easy for people sitting at the tea table to pick up and put down the collecting spoon. This enhances the convenience of the entire tea dregs collection process.
[0018] In the aforementioned tea table, a heater is embedded within the heat-conducting block; a ring-shaped groove is formed on the upper surface of the heat-conducting block, and the heater is a ring-shaped heating block embedded within the groove. This heater design within the heat-conducting block increases its heating efficiency, thereby improving the drying speed of the tea dregs and ultimately increasing the efficiency of tea dregs collection and processing.
[0019] Compared with existing technologies, this tea dregs collection device and tea table have the following advantages: 1. This device processes tea dregs by drying, making the recycling and collection of tea dregs convenient, hygienic and efficient; 2. This device can be directly embedded in the tea table, so that people can easily pour out and collect tea dregs while drinking tea, which is very convenient. Attached Figure Description
