[0039] A cup body 1 has a receiving groove 11 inside the cup body 1 and a cup mouth is formed at the upper end of the cup body 1 to communicate with the receiving groove 11 of the cup body 1. The groove wall of the receiving groove 11 of the cup body 1 is formed with a stepped edge 12 near the cup mouth, and multiple notches 121 are provided at intervals on the stepped edge 12. Furthermore, an internal thread section 13 is formed on the groove wall of the receiving groove 11 above the stepped edge 12.

[0040] A tea stand 2 is movably disposed within the receiving groove 11 of the cup body 1. The tea stand 2 has a cavity 21 within it, and the opening of the cavity 21 is formed at the upper end of the tea stand 2. Please refer to the attached document. Figure 4 As shown, a ring flange 22 is formed along the upper end of the tea stand 2, and multiple protrusions 221 are spaced around the circumference of the ring flange 22 to engage and position with the multiple notches 121 of the stepped edge 12 of the groove wall of the cup body 1. Please refer to the attached document. Figure 5 As shown, the tea stand 2 is suspended in the container 11 of the cup body 1. At least one first connecting part 23 is provided at the appropriate position of the tea stand. The first connecting part 23 includes a longitudinal guide hole 231 formed from the upper end of the tea stand 2 along the two side walls of its container 21. A transverse locking hole 232 is connected to the end of each of the two longitudinal guide holes 231, and the two transverse locking holes 232 are arranged in opposite directions. A plurality of through holes 222 are provided on the annular flange 22. A plurality of through holes 24 are provided on the peripheral wall of the tea stand 2. The plurality of through holes 24 communicate with the container 21 of the tea stand 2.

[0041] A tea lid 3 is movably mounted on the opening of the cavity 21 of the tea stand 2. A cylindrical first protrusion 31 is connected to the bottom end of the tea lid 3 so as to extend into the cavity 21 from the opening of the cavity 21 of the tea stand 2. At least one second connecting part 32 is formed on at least one side of the first protrusion 31 so as to correspond and connect with at least one first connecting part 23 of the tea stand 2. The at least one second connecting part 32 includes a locking pin 321 formed on both sides of the first protrusion 31. The two locking pins 321 are each along the two longitudinal guide holes 231 of the tea stand 2 to the transverse locking holes 232 and are respectively locked and connected with the two transverse locking holes 232. A gripping part 33 is connected to the upper end of the tea lid 3.

[0042] Please refer to the cup lid 4 as well. Figure 6 As shown, a movable cover is provided at the mouth of the cup body 1, and a cylindrical second protrusion 41 is connected to the bottom end of the cup cover 4. An external thread section 42 is formed on the peripheral wall of the second protrusion 41 so as to be screwed into connection with the internal thread section 13 provided on the groove wall of the receiving groove 11 of the cup body 1.

[0043] Accordingly, when in use, the tea holder 2 is placed into the receiving groove 11 of the cup body 1, and the protrusion 221 of the annular flange 22 of the tea holder 2 is engaged and positioned with the notch 121 of the stepped edge 12 of the receiving groove 11 of the cup body 1, so that the tea holder 2 is suspended in the receiving groove 11 of the cup body 1.

[0044] Please refer to the following: Figure 7 As shown, place the tea leaves into the cavity 21 of the tea holder 2, and pour in hot water to brew the tea. Then, cover the opening of the cavity 21 of the tea holder 2 with the tea lid 3, and let the locking pins 321 of the second joints 32 on both sides of the first protrusion 31 of the tea lid 3 advance along the longitudinal guide holes 231 of the first joints 23 on both sides of the tea holder 2 to the transverse locking holes 232 at the ends of the two longitudinal guide holes 231. Please refer to the following. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the tea lid 3 is then rotated at an angle so that the two locking tabs 321 of the tea lid 3 are engaged with the two horizontal locking holes 232 respectively. Through the mutual locking and positioning design of the protrusion 221 of the annular flange 22 of the tea base 2 and the notch 121 of the step edge 12 of the cup body 1, it can be avoided that when the tea lid 3 is rotated by force, the tea base 2 may be rotated without force, which would cause the locking tabs 321 of the tea lid 3 and the horizontal locking holes 232 of the tea base 2 to fail to engage properly.

[0045] As the tea leaves unfurl in the hot water, the polyphenols and other substances, along with their aroma and flavor, are gradually released from the perforations 24 on the walls of the tea stand 2 into the hot water within the container 11 of the cup body 1, creating a fragrant and sweet tea. After brewing, the user can hold the lid 3 by its grip 33 to remove the lid 3 and the tea stand 2 attached to it from the container 11 of the cup body 1. Since the user removes the tea stand 2 from the container 11 of the cup body 1 through the lid 3, the risk of burns from handling the hot tea stand 2 directly with bare hands is avoided. Furthermore, the inconvenience of finding a cloth or other object to cover the tea stand 2 before handling it is also avoided, thus improving the safety and convenience of using the tea cup.

[0046] After removing the tea holder 2, the user can pour out the tea from the cup body 1 for drinking. Alternatively, the user can choose to re-infuse the tea leaves in the tea holder 2, discard the tea leaves, or place the tea holder 2 and tea lid 3 back into the container 11 of the cup body 1. In this case, when the user wants to drink tea, the tea in the container 11 of the cup body 1 can be poured out through the multiple through holes 222 provided on the annular flange 22 of the tea holder 2. Furthermore, when the user wants to take this utility model out, the cup lid 4 can be placed on the mouth of the cup body 1. The tight engagement between the external thread section 42 of the cup lid 4 and the internal thread section 13 of the container 11 of the cup body 1 effectively prevents the tea in the cup body 1 from leaking out, thus providing convenience when drinking tea on the go.

[0047] The foregoing embodiments or drawings are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. This utility model may also omit the notch 121 of the cup body 1's stepped edge 12 and the protrusion 221 of the tea holder 2's annular flange 22, and directly place the tea holder 2's annular flange 22 against the cup body 1's stepped edge 12. In this way, the tea holder 2 can also be suspended in the cup body 1's receiving groove 11. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the protection scope of this utility model.

[0048] As can be seen from the above structure and implementation method, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0049] (1) The tea cup of this utility model has a longitudinal guide hole and a transverse locking hole on the tea base, and a locking pin on the tea lid to engage with the transverse locking hole of the tea base. A gripping part is provided on the upper end of the tea lid, so that the user can hold the gripping part of the tea lid to remove the tea lid and the tea base from the cup body, avoiding the risk of being burned by holding the hot tea base directly with his / her hands, and also avoiding the trouble of finding a cloth or other object to cover the tea base before taking it out, thereby improving the safety and convenience of using the tea cup.

[0050] (2) The tea cup of this utility model has multiple notches spaced apart on the stepped edge of the cup body and multiple protrusions spaced apart on the circumferential flange of the tea stand, so as to engage and position with the multiple notches on the stepped edge of the cup body. Thus, when the tea lid is rotated and the locking pin of the tea lid engages with the horizontal locking hole of the tea stand, the mutual engagement design of the protrusions on the circumferential flange of the tea stand and the notches on the stepped edge of the cup body can prevent the tea stand from rotating when the tea lid is rotated, thus ensuring a stable locking effect between the locking pin of the tea lid and the horizontal locking hole of the tea stand.

[0051] (3) The tea cup of this utility model has multiple through holes on the ring flange of the tea stand. Accordingly, when the user places the tea stand in the cup body, the tea in the cup body can be poured out through the multiple through holes on the ring flange of the tea stand, thereby providing convenience for drinking tea.
