[0035] In related technologies, milk tea shops typically use tea brewing machines to brew tea. The brewing process involves: drawing water at a specified temperature from a water dispenser, controlling the water volume using an electronic scale or measuring cylinder, adding tea leaves to the water, starting a timer, and then removing the tea leaves and pouring the tea into a tea container after the timer beeps. However, existing tea brewing machines have significant temperature and water volume variations, resulting in inconsistent tea flavor.
[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 4 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a tea maker includes a base 100, a water tank 200, a water injection assembly 300, a first heating module 410, a second heating module 420, and a flow measurement module 430. The water tank 200 is disposed on the base 100 and has an inlet and an outlet 210. The water injection assembly 300 is disposed on the base 100 and is used to inject water into the tea container 600. The inlet end of the water injection assembly 300 is connected to the outlet 210 through a first pipe. The first heating module 410 is... Inside the water tank 200, the first heating module 410 is used to heat the water in the water tank 200, the second heating module 420 is installed on the first pipe and is used to heat the water in the first pipe, and the flow measurement module 430 is installed on the first pipe and is used to calculate the cumulative flow of the first pipe. On the one hand, it can reduce the tea brewing temperature deviation of the tea brewing machine, and on the other hand, it can reduce the water volume error of the tea soup, improve the tea brewing efficiency and reduce manual operation steps, and ensure the consistent taste of the tea soup.
[0037] For example, when the tea maker is working, an external water source injects water into the water tank 200 through the water inlet. The first heating module 410 preheats the water in the water tank 200. After the water in the water tank 200 is heated to the preset temperature, the water in the water tank 200 flows through the water outlet 210 and the first pipe to the water injection component 300, and is finally injected into the tea barrel 600. By setting a second heating module 420 and a flow measurement module 430 on the first pipe, the second heating module 420 can heat the water in the first pipe so that the water in the first pipe can be close to the temperature required by the user when brewing tea, reducing the tea brewing temperature deviation of the tea maker. The flow measurement module 430 can reduce the water volume error of the tea soup, improve the tea brewing efficiency and reduce manual operation steps, and ensure the consistent taste of the tea soup.
[0038] It should be noted that the first heating module 410 is a heating element such as a heating tube or heating plate, the second heating module 420 is a heating element such as a thick film heater, and the flow measurement module 430 is a flow meter such as a differential pressure flow meter or a volumetric flow meter, etc., without any restrictions.
[0039] It should be noted that the base 100 includes a base 101 and a housing 102 disposed on the base 101. The water tank 200, water injection assembly 300, first heating module 410, second heating module 420 and flow measurement module 430 are all disposed in different positions within the housing 102, which will not be described in detail here.
[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water tank 200 is provided with a first temperature detection component 510, which is used to detect the water temperature in the water tank 200 and can detect the water temperature in the water tank 200 in real time.
[0041] It should be noted that after the water in the water tank 200 is heated to the preset temperature, the first heating module 410 stops working, which can detect the water temperature in the water tank 200 in real time and reduce energy waste.
[0042] It should be noted that the first temperature detection component 510 is a thermocouple temperature sensor or a resistance temperature sensor, and there is no restriction on its use.
[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water tank 200 is provided with a first liquid level detection component 520 and a second liquid level detection component 530. The first liquid level detection component 520 is used to detect the lowest liquid level in the water tank 200, and the second liquid level detection component 530 is used to detect the highest liquid level in the water tank 200, which can facilitate user use.
[0044] For example, when the first liquid level detection component 520 detects that the liquid level in the water tank 200 is too low, the first heating module 410 stops working to prevent the first heating module 410 from burning dry. When the second liquid level detection component 530 detects that the liquid level in the water tank 200 is too high, it stops adding water to the water tank 200, which makes it convenient for users.
[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, a second temperature detection component 540 is provided on the first pipe. The second temperature detection component 540 is used to detect the water temperature in the first pipe and can detect the water temperature in the first pipe in real time to reduce the temperature deviation of the tea soup.
[0046] For example, activating the second heating module 420 heats the water in the first pipe, bringing the water temperature in the first pipe closer to the temperature required by the user to brew tea, thus reducing temperature deviation in the tea soup.
[0047] It is understandable that when tea leaves are scattered in the tea container 600, if some tea leaves are not sprayed with water during the process of adding water to the water tank 200, these tea leaves are likely to float after the water is added, resulting in these tea leaves not being fully extracted.
[0048] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the water injection component 300 includes a connecting pipe 310 and a spray head 320. One end of the connecting pipe 310 is connected to the spray head 320, and the other end of the connecting pipe 310 is connected to the first pipe. The spray head 320 is provided with a plurality of spray holes 301 spaced apart. Water in the first pipe is injected into the tea barrel 600 through the plurality of spray holes 301, which can disperse the water flow and increase the water coverage area so that the tea leaves can be evenly contacted with the water. This can reduce the occurrence of tea leaves floating after water injection, thereby ensuring that the tea leaves are fully extracted.
[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting pipe 310 is slidably disposed on the base 100, and the connecting pipe 310 is connected to a driving member 330. The driving member 330 is used to drive the connecting pipe 310 to slide so that the spray head 320 enters or exits the tea barrel 600. The movement of the spray head 320 can be automatically controlled to facilitate the removal or installation of the tea barrel 600.
[0050] For example, when water needs to be added, the drive unit 330 drives the connecting pipe 310 to move downward so that the spray head 320 enters the tea barrel 600, allowing the spray head 320 to spray water onto the tea barrel 600. After the water is added, the drive unit 330 drives the connecting pipe 310 to move upward so that the spray head 320 exits the tea, making it convenient for the operator to remove the tea barrel 600.
[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, the axial direction of each spray hole 301 is different, which can spray water in all directions within the tea barrel 600, thereby increasing the water coverage area so that the tea leaves can be evenly contacted with the water, reducing the occurrence of tea leaves floating after watering, and thus ensuring that the tea leaves are fully extracted.
[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, the spray head 320 has a spherical structure, each spray hole 301 has an equal length along its axial direction, and multiple spray holes 301 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the spray head 320, which can spray water in all directions within the tea barrel 600, thereby increasing the water coverage area so that the tea leaves can be evenly contacted with the water, reducing the occurrence of tea leaves floating after watering, and thus ensuring that the tea leaves are fully extracted.
[0053] It is understandable that the spray head 320 is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 310. If the spray head 320 is blocked or damaged, it can be replaced separately, which can reduce the maintenance cost of the water injection component 300. No restrictions are imposed here.
[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first pipeline is equipped with a first solenoid valve 550, which is used to control the opening and closing of the first pipeline. After the flow measurement module 430 detects that the cumulative flow of the first pipeline has reached a preset value, the first solenoid valve 550 automatically closes the first pipeline to stop water from being poured into the tea barrel 600. This eliminates the need for operators to manually close the first pipeline, thus simplifying the operation steps for operators.
[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, a second pipe is connected to the water inlet, and the second pipe is equipped with a second solenoid valve 560. The second solenoid valve 560 is used to control the opening and closing of the second pipe. When the first liquid level detection component 520 detects that the water level in the water tank 200 is lower than the minimum water level, the second solenoid valve 560 opens the second pipe to allow external water to be injected into the water tank 200. When the second liquid level detection component 530 detects that the water level in the water tank 200 is higher than the maximum water level, the second solenoid valve 560 closes the second pipe to stop the external water source from injecting water into the water tank 200.
[0056] It should be noted that a water pump is installed on the first pipe. The water pump is used to pump water from the water tank 200 to the first pipe, and there are no restrictions on this.
[0057] 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.
[0058] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
