Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of travel cups, specifically a control structure for travel cups. Background Technology

[0002] Existing tea-water separator cups on the market use an inner filter cup inside the teacup. Tea leaves are placed in the inner filter cup, and boiling water is poured in to steep and brew the tea. This method is popular because it is easy to control the strength of the tea and is convenient to use. However, with this method, the inner filter cup needs to be removed before drinking the tea, the water output is not easy to control, and steeping the tea leaves for too long can affect the taste. Therefore, some infuser cups on the market have a timer function. After the user sets the brewing time for each time, when the automatic timer finishes, the electronic control mechanism controls the guide to flow through the filter cup, allowing the tea water in the filter cup to flow into the tea cup, thus separating the tea water from the tea leaves and preventing the tea leaves from steeping for too long. However, currently, the timer adjustment of these infuser cups is mainly achieved through a switch on the handle. The switch includes buttons for increasing the time and buttons for decreasing the time. When the brewing time is set to be long, the user can only press the timer button repeatedly, making the operation complicated and cumbersome. Moreover, the traditional switch is bulky and takes up a lot of internal space in the handle, forcing the handle to be wider to accommodate the control panel and the traditional switch. Therefore, the applicant has improved and perfected the structure of the infuser cup to solve the above problems and provide consumers with a choice to use. Utility Model Content

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] First embodiment:

[0026] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a control structure for a tea infuser cup includes a cup body 1, a handle 2 on the side wall of the cup body 1, an inner cup 3 embedded in the cup body 1, a tea filter 301 at the bottom of the inner cup 3, a magnetic component 4 at the tea filter 301, a magnetic control component 5 controlling the magnetic component 4 to open or block the tea filter 301, and a control board 6 electrically connected to the magnetic control component 5. The handle 2 includes a grip part 21, a five-way switch 7 electrically connected to the control board 6 is provided in the grip part 21, and the rocker arm 71 of the five-way switch 7 extends out of the front of the grip part 21 and is connected to a push button 72.

[0027] This structure uses a five-way switch to control the brewing cup. The five-way switch has the advantages of small size and multiple control functions. It can reduce the internal space occupied by traditional switches in the handle, is easy to install, and when increasing or decreasing the brewing time, the user only needs to push the button 72 to the same position to continuously increase or decrease the time. There is no need to press the button repeatedly. The operation is comfortable, simple and direct.

[0028] The control board 6 is equipped with a timing module that starts or stops the magnetic control component 5 at a set time. The rocker arm 71 has a first direction (marked as N) and a second direction (marked as S). When the rocker arm 71 is rocked upward to the first direction, the timing module's time increases. When the rocker arm 71 is rocked downward to the second direction, the timing module's time decreases. This structure, with the first direction being rocked upward and the second direction being rocked downward, allows the user to intuitively understand how the timing module's time increases or decreases, conforming to human common sense and making operation simple.

[0029] Furthermore, the joystick 71 also includes a third direction (labeled I in the figure). The joystick 71 is briefly pressed inward to the third direction to start the timing module. After the tea brewing begins, the user can operate the joystick 71 to press in the third direction to activate the timing module and start the timing program.

[0030] In other embodiments, the rocker arm 71 can also be pressed inward to a third direction, thereby directly activating the direct magnetic control component 5 and opening the tea filter port 301.

[0031] The top of the handle 2 is provided with a display screen 9 for displaying values ​​and time, and the display screen 9 is electrically connected to the control board 6.

[0032] In addition, to improve the portability of the travel cup, a battery pack is also installed inside the handle 2, which can power the various electronic control components.

[0033] The handle 2 includes a handle housing 23, which includes a main housing 232 and a faceplate 233. The five-way switch 7 is fixedly connected to the control board 6. A connecting protrusion 231 extends from the back of the faceplate 233. The control board 6 has a through hole 601 corresponding to the connecting protrusion 231. By screwing through the through hole 601 and the connecting protrusion 231, the control board 6 and the faceplate 233 are securely connected, and the five-way switch 7 is placed between the control board 6 and the faceplate 233. The structure is simple and easy to install.

[0034] The main housing 232 and the face shell 233 have inverted protrusions 234 extending on both sides of the joint. The face shell 233 and the main housing 232 have fastening ears 235 extending on both sides of the joint. The face shell 233 is assembled and connected to the main housing 232 by fastening ears 235 and inverted protrusions 234, and the control board 6 and the five-way switch 7 are installed in the handle 2.

[0035] The handle 2 also includes a connecting part 22 that is close to the outer wall of the cup body 1. The magnetic control component 5 is disposed in the connecting part 22 and is disposed at the height position of the magnetized component 4. This structure enables the magnetic control component 5 to form a magnetic control engagement with the magnetized component 4 at the closest horizontal position.

[0036] An installation port 302 is provided at the center of the bottom wall of the inner cup 3 or near the magnetic control component 5. A valve body 10 is assembled and connected in the installation port 302. A sealing ring 11 is provided between the valve body 10 and the installation port 302. The sealing ring 11 can prevent tea from leaking into the cup body 1 from the gap between the valve body 10 and the installation port 302.

[0037] The magnetized component 4 is movably disposed within the valve cavity of the valve body 10, and the tea filter port 301 is located at the bottom of the valve body 10. The valve body 10 allows the magnetized component 4 to be quickly installed and removed from the inner cup 3, improving production efficiency and providing a limiting and supporting structure for the magnetized component 4.

[0038] A filter cover 12 is assembled and connected to the top of the valve body 10; the filter cover 12 can prevent the tea in the cup 3 from flowing into the valve body 10 and clogging the valve body 10. After use, the filter cover 12 can be removed from the valve body 10 separately to facilitate cleaning of the filter holes and valve cavity of the filter cover 12.

[0039] The magnetized component 4 includes a silicone ball plug 41 with a diameter larger than the tea filter opening 301. A silicone plug sleeve 42 is integrally connected to the upper side of the silicone ball plug 41. A passive strong magnet 43 is wrapped inside the silicone plug sleeve 42. The passive strong magnet 43 has a circular disc-shaped structure.

[0040] The silicone ball plug 41 is pressed against the tea filter opening 301 by the weight of the passive strong magnet 43, thereby blocking the tea filter opening 301. Moreover, the silicone ball plug 41 can deform to improve the sealing effect. The passive strong magnet 43 is completely wrapped by the food-grade silicone sleeve 42, which can prevent the passive strong magnet 43 from contacting the tea water and ensure food hygiene and safety.

[0041] The magnetic control component 5 includes a turntable 51 and a motor 52. An active strong magnet 53 is provided on one side of the turntable 51, and an end face gear 54 is coaxially fixed on the turntable 51. An active gear 55 that meshes with the end face gear 54 is fixed on the output shaft of the motor 52. The motor 52 drives the turntable 51 to rotate axially, so that the active strong magnet 53 of the turntable 51 faces or turns away from the magnetized component 4, so as to open or block the tea filter port 301.

[0042] This structure utilizes the motor 52 to drive the active strong magnet 53 and the passive strong magnet 43 to achieve one-button opening or timed automatic opening of the tea filter 301 of the magnetized component 4. The time control is precise, ensuring the steeping time of each tea leaf and guaranteeing the taste of the tea. It is very convenient to use.

[0043] In addition, the water filtration structure can be simplified. The axial rotation of the turntable 51 enables the two strong magnets to switch quickly between interacting and not interfering with each other. During the switching process, the entire actuation mechanism works stably with little vibration and low noise. The components are arranged compactly, reducing the installation space requirements.

[0044] Second embodiment:

[0045] In the second embodiment, see Figure 7 As shown, the cup body 1 may also be provided with a heat preservation module 8 electrically connected to the control board 6. The heat preservation module 8 may be a heating structure with small volume, high thermal efficiency, and low energy consumption, such as a heating wire or heating film. The rocker arm 71 includes a fourth direction (marked as W) and a fifth direction (marked as E). When the rocker arm 71 is rocked to the left to the fourth direction, the set temperature of the heat preservation module 8 is increased. When the rocker arm 71 is rocked to the right to the fifth direction, the set temperature of the heat preservation module 8 is decreased. This structure can make full use of the control functions realized by the other directions of the five-way switch and can quickly adjust the heat preservation temperature of the cup.

[0046] Of course, in more embodiments, the fourth and fifth directions of the joystick 71 can also realize other control functions.
