Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea brewing machine technology, specifically to a tea brewing machine that integrates brewing and cooling. Background Technology

[0002] Tea brewing machines use high-temperature heating of tea to brew tea, and are widely used in the commercial sector due to their excellent tea extraction effect. However, the excessively high temperature of the hot tea cannot meet customers' immediate drinking needs. Traditionally, this is done using additional cooling equipment, which is not only labor-intensive and resource-intensive but also prolongs customer waiting time. Some integrated tea brewing machines on the market, such as the boiled water tea brewing machine with authorization number CN221690688U, have attempted to solve the cooling problem, but require additional equipment such as compressors, leading to increased costs and power consumption. Moreover, these types of tea brewing machines have a significant drawback: residual tea in the pipes can easily cause flavor contamination, seriously affecting the taste of subsequent brews and failing to provide customers with a consistently high-quality tea drinking experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a tea brewing machine that integrates brewing and cooling.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A tea brewing and cooling integrated tea maker includes a tea brewing machine, and heating pipes, heat exchange pipes, water supply pipes, and cleaning pipes disposed within the tea brewing machine, wherein:

[0006] The heating pipeline includes a hot water tank, a hot tea barrel, and a water pump located between the hot water tank and the hot tea barrel. The water pump pumps the hot water in the hot water tank to the hot tea barrel to form hot tea soup.

[0007] The heat exchange pipeline includes an exchanger, a tea warming barrel, and a heat exchange pump located between the tea warming barrel and the exchanger. The heat exchange pump draws the hot tea soup from the tea warming barrel to the exchanger, and the exchanger sends the warm tea soup after heat exchange back into the tea warming barrel.

[0008] The water supply pipeline includes a drinking water system, a warm water tank, and a water supply pump. The water supply pump draws drinking water and sends it into the warm water tank / exchange unit. The exchange unit / warm water tank is connected to the hot water tank.

[0009] Cleaning pipelines, including an air pump connected to an exchanger, which blows air into the exchanger for drying.

[0010] This technical solution adds a heat exchange pipeline to the existing heating pipeline of the tea brewing machine to cool the hot tea. A water replenishment pipeline handles heat exchange, water replenishment, and reverse rinsing, while a cleaning pipeline dries the tea, facilitating the re-brewing of different types of tea. Through the coordinated operation of the hot tea container, warm tea container, and warm water tank, an integrated brewing and cooling system is achieved, quickly locking in freshness, ensuring good taste, and rapidly reaching the optimal drinking temperature.

[0011] In addition, the tea brewing and cooling integrated tea brewing machine proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchanger is provided with an inlet I connected to a heat exchange pump, an inlet II connected to a warm water tank / drinking water tank, an inlet III connected to an air pump, an outlet I connected to a warm tea barrel, and an outlet II connected to a warm water tank / hot water tank.

[0013] In this technical solution, the heat exchanger is a common heat exchange device. It uses the low-temperature water from the warm water tank / direct drinking water to exchange heat with the high-temperature hot tea soup from the heat exchange pump. The low-temperature water carries away the heat and is eventually sent to the hot water tank, saving energy. The hot tea soup is also reduced to a drinkable temperature, achieving two benefits at once.

[0014] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the direct drinking water first enters inlet II, directly exchanging heat with hot tea, and outlet II is connected to the warm water tank; the water replenishment pump is located between the warm water tank and the hot water tank. The direct drinking water first enters the warm water tank, inlet II is connected to the warm water tank, and outlet II is connected to the hot water tank; the water replenishment pump is located between the warm water tank and the heat exchanger.

[0015] In this technical solution, the drinking water directly participates in heat exchange, or it enters the warm water tank first and then participates in heat exchange; the water replenishment pump can be located on the heat exchanger side or on the warm water tank side. Therefore, the location of the warm water tank can be installed according to actual needs, either on the drinking water side or on the hot water tank side, as long as heat exchange and water replenishment are satisfied, it meets the requirements of this utility model.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the hot water tank has a built-in heating tube, and the warm water tank has a built-in level gauge.

[0017] In this technical solution, the heating element heats the drinking water and sends it to the hot tea barrel for brewing to obtain hot tea soup; the drinking water level in the warm water tank is detected by a level gauge.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the heating tube, water pump and heat exchange pump are stopped, the water replenishment pump is turned on, the water replenishment pump draws drinking water to backwash the heat exchange pipeline and heating pipeline; then the air pump is turned on to air dry the cleaned pipeline.

[0019] In this technical solution, the pipeline is first reverse-washed, and then air-dried after it is clean. This prevents changes in the type of tea used in the previous brewing from affecting the taste of the next brew. Therefore, the water supply pipeline can be reused for reverse washing.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] (1) Add heat exchange pipeline to the original heating pipeline of the tea brewing machine. Through the cooperation of hot tea barrel, warm tea barrel and warm water tank, the tea brewing and cooling integrated setting can be realized, which can quickly lock in freshness and make the tea soup reach the temperature suitable for drinking quickly, with good taste.

[0022] (2) The heat exchanger uses the low-temperature water from the warm water tank / direct drinking water to exchange heat with the high-temperature hot tea soup. The low-temperature water carries away the heat and sends it into the hot water tank, saving energy. At the same time, the hot tea soup is cooled to a drinkable temperature.

[0023] (3) The drinking water can be drawn from the water supply line to backwash the heat exchange line and heating line, and then the air pump can be used to dry it to avoid the tea being affected by the previous brewing and to make it easier to brew different types of tea again.

[0033] The cleaning pipeline includes an air pump 10, which is connected to the exchanger 4 and blows air into the exchanger 4 for drying.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this technical solution adds a heat exchange pipeline to the existing heating pipeline of the tea brewing machine to cool the hot tea soup. A water replenishment pipeline handles heat exchange, water replenishment, and reverse rinsing, while a cleaning pipeline dries the tea, facilitating the re-brewing of different types of tea. Through the coordinated operation of the hot tea container 2, the warm tea container 5, and the warm water tank 8, an integrated tea brewing and cooling system is achieved, quickly locking in freshness, ensuring good taste, and rapidly reaching the suitable drinking temperature.

[0035] In addition, the tea brewing and cooling integrated tea brewing machine proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0036] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchanger 4 is provided with an inlet I connected to the heat exchange pump 6, an inlet II connected to the warm water tank 8 / direct drinking water 7, an inlet III connected to the air pump 10, an outlet I connected to the warm tea barrel 5, and an outlet II connected to the warm water tank 8 / hot water tank 1.

[0037] In this technical solution, the heat exchanger 4 is a common heat exchange device. It uses the low-temperature water in the warm water tank 8 / direct drinking water 7 to exchange heat with the high-temperature hot tea soup in the heat exchange pump 6. The low-temperature water carries away the heat and is finally sent to the hot water tank 1, saving energy. The hot tea soup is also reduced to a drinkable temperature, achieving two benefits at once.

[0038] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the direct drinking water 7 first enters inlet II, directly exchanging heat with hot tea soup, and outlet II is connected to the warm water tank 8; the water replenishment pump 9 is located between the warm water tank 8 and the hot water tank 1. The direct drinking water 7 first enters the warm water tank 8, inlet II is connected to the warm water tank 8, and outlet II is connected to the hot water tank 1; the water replenishment pump 9 is located between the warm water tank 8 and the heat exchanger 4.

[0039] In this technical solution, the drinking water 7 directly participates in heat exchange, or it first enters the warm water tank 8 and then participates in heat exchange; the water replenishment pump 9 can be located on the side of the heat exchanger 4 or on the side of the warm water tank 8. Therefore, the location of the warm water tank 8 can be installed according to actual needs, either on the side of the drinking water 7 or on the side of the hot water tank 1, as long as heat exchange and water replenishment are satisfied, it meets the requirements of this utility model.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the hot water tank 1 has a built-in heating tube 11, and the warm water tank 8 has a built-in level gauge 12.

[0041] In this technical solution, the heating tube 11 heats the drinking water 7 and sends it into the hot tea barrel 2 for brewing to obtain hot tea soup; the drinking water 7 in the warm water tank 8 is leveled by the level gauge 12.
