[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A water outlet regulator for a tea brewer includes a tea brewing accessory 2 with an inlet channel 1. The tea brewing accessory 2 is provided with a baffle plate 3, a connecting shaft 4 and an adjusting component 5 on the outlet end of the inlet channel 1. The baffle plate 3 and the adjusting component 5 are movably connected to the connecting shaft 4, and the adjusting component 5 is located above the baffle plate 3. The adjustment component 5 moves to make the baffle plate 3 move up and down along the connecting shaft 4 to adjust the gap L between the baffle plate 3 and the outlet end of the inlet channel 1, thereby adjusting the water output of the inlet channel 1.

[0023] An adjustable water flow control structure is established by setting up a baffle plate 3, a connecting shaft 4, and an adjusting component 5. Users can adjust the baffle plate 3 up and down along the connecting shaft 4 using the adjusting component 5 to change the gap L between the baffle plate 3 and the water outlet of the inlet channel 1. Increasing the gap L increases the water flow from the inlet channel 1, while decreasing the gap L relatively reduces the water flow. This greatly satisfies the personalized adjustment needs of different users for the water flow when brewing tea, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the tea maker.

[0024] The tea brewing accessory 2 has a connector 7 in the liquid inlet channel 1. The connector 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 4. A spring 8 is provided on the connector 7. One end of the spring 8 abuts against the connector 7, and the other end of the spring 8 abuts against the baffle plate 3. The adjusting part 5 moves up and down along the connecting shaft 4. The baffle plate 3 floats up and down on the connecting shaft 4 through the spring 8.

[0025] The design of the connector 7 and spring 8 within the liquid inlet channel 1 provides elastic support for the up-and-down floating of the baffle plate 3. When the adjusting member 5 moves axially up and down along the connecting shaft 4, the spring 8 will generate corresponding elastic deformation according to the movement of the adjusting member 5. When the adjusting member 5 moves downward along the connecting shaft 4, the adjusting member 5 presses against the baffle plate 3, and the spring 8 is compressed; when the adjusting member 5 moves upward along the connecting shaft 4, the spring 8 releases its elastic force, pushing the baffle plate 3 upward along the connecting shaft 4.

[0026] Alternatively, the adjusting component 5 is connected to the baffle plate 3. The adjusting component 5 moves and drives the baffle plate 3 to move up and down along the connecting shaft 4. The section component 5 is directly connected to the baffle plate 3 to drive its movement, which simplifies the structural design.

[0027] In this embodiment, the connector 7 is provided with an assembly hole for fixing the connecting shaft 4, and the connecting shaft 4 can be fixed to the connector 7 by welding.

[0028] The connector 7 is provided with a water passage 7.1 that connects to the liquid inlet channel 1.

[0029] During the tea brewing process, the liquid needs to flow smoothly through the area where the connector 7 is located. The presence of the water passage 7.1 provides a dedicated flow path for the liquid, avoiding obstruction of the liquid flow by the connector 7. The connector 7 effectively supports the connecting shaft 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom of the connector 7 can be made of an elastic material. The bottom of the connector 7 is inserted into the liquid inlet channel 1 of the tea brewing accessory 2. The bottom of the connector 7 abuts against the liquid inlet channel 1 through elastic deformation. The outer diameter of the bottom wall of the connector 7 is larger than the inner diameter of the liquid inlet channel 1. Alternatively, a protruding ring is provided in the liquid inlet channel 1. After the bottom of the connector 7 is inserted into the tea brewing accessory 2 and passes over the protruding ring, the bottom of the connector 7 and the protruding ring form a locking mechanism, which can prevent the connector 7 from easily detaching from the liquid inlet channel 1.

[0031] The connecting shaft 4 is provided with an external thread 4.1, and the adjusting member 5 is provided with an internal thread 5.1 that mates with the external thread 4.1. The adjusting member 5 rotates and moves up and down along the connecting shaft 4 through the internal and external threads.

[0032] By rotating the adjusting component 5, the user can achieve stable and precise movement of the adjusting component 5 along the connecting shaft 4 using the principle of screw transmission. This adjustment method has the advantages of simple operation and high adjustment accuracy. The user can finely rotate the adjusting component 5 according to their needs for the amount of water to brew tea, precisely control the up and down movement distance of the adjusting component 5, and thus accurately adjust the gap L between the baffle plate 3 and the water outlet end of the liquid inlet channel 1, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the water output.

[0033] In this embodiment, since the water output adjustment is a fine-tuning, the adjusting member 5 does not need to be set with a rotation limit stroke. When the user senses that the height of the adjusting member 5 has almost reached the upper limit, the user will stop rotating the adjusting member 5, or rotate the adjusting member 5 in the opposite direction so that the adjusting member 5 moves downward along the connecting shaft 4.

[0034] The tea brewing accessory 2 is provided with a filter element 6 on its outer side. The tea brewing accessory 2 extends downward toward the filter element 6. The water inlet end of the liquid inlet channel 1 is located below the filter element 6, and the water outlet end of the liquid inlet channel 1 is located in the inner cavity of the filter element 6. The filter element 6 is provided with a drain hole 6.1 that connects to the water outlet end of the liquid inlet channel 1.

[0035] The filter element 6 is provided with mounting holes 6.2 that cooperate with the tea brewing accessory 2, and the tea brewing accessory 2 is fixed to the filter element 6 through the mounting holes.

[0036] A filter element 6 is installed on the outside of the tea brewing accessory 2, and the relative positions and connections between the liquid inlet channel 1 and the filter element 6 are rationally arranged to construct an efficient tea brewing liquid circulation and filtration system. When the tea brewer is working, the liquid in the container 9 boils and enters from the water inlet end of the liquid inlet channel 1. The liquid flows upward along the liquid inlet channel 1 into the filter element 6. During this process, the liquid comes into full contact with the tea leaves placed in the filter element 6, achieving extraction. The filter element 6 can effectively block solid substances such as tea leaves, preventing them from entering the container 9. The drain hole 6.1 on the filter element 6 is connected to the water outlet end of the liquid inlet channel 1, allowing the extracted liquid to flow smoothly back into the container 9, forming a complete internal liquid circulation channel. This structural design not only ensures full contact and effective extraction between the liquid and tea leaves during the tea brewing process, but also separates the tea leaves through the filter element 6, making the tea soup flowing back into the container 9 clearer and purer, improving the quality of the tea soup and meeting the user's high requirements for tea brewing quality. It also facilitates cleaning after brewing, reducing the cleaning trouble caused by tea residue.

[0037] A tea brewing device includes a container 9, wherein the container 9 is provided with a water outlet regulator of the tea brewing device, and the water inlet end of the liquid inlet channel 1 and the drain hole 6.1 of the filter element 6 are both connected to the inner cavity of the container 9.

[0038] When the liquid in container 9 boils, it returns to container 9 through filter element 6 via liquid inlet channel 1, forming an internal liquid circulation channel between liquid inlet channel 1, filter element 6 and the inner cavity of container 9.

[0039] The bottom of the container 9 is provided with several spaced protrusions 9.1.

[0040] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the protrusion 9.1 increases the structural strength of the inner wall of the container 9, improving the reliability of the product. On the other hand, the protrusion 9.1 affects the heat transfer and convection of the liquid, accelerating the generation and aggregation of bubbles, thereby causing multiple small bubbles to aggregate into large bubbles. This avoids the problem of a large number of individual small bubbles becoming large bubbles and causing loud noise, reducing the number of bubble explosions, suppressing the sound generated by bubble explosions, reducing the noise generated when heating the liquid, and improving the user comfort of the product.

[0041] The container 9 has a positioning block 9.2 inside for positioning and installing the filter element 6. The bottom of the tea brewing accessory 2 is suspended inside the container 9, and a water inlet gap is formed between the bottom of the tea brewing accessory 2 and the bottom wall of the container 9 to allow liquid to enter the liquid inlet channel 1.

[0042] The filter element 6 is detachably installed inside the container 9 via the positioning block 9.2, which makes it easy for the user to clean the filter element 6 and the tea brewing accessory 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, the tea brewing accessory 2 is made of glass or stainless steel. When the tea brewing accessory 2 is made of glass, a sealing ring is provided on the mounting hole 6.2 of the filter element 6. The tea brewing accessory 2 passes through the sealing ring, so that the tea brewing accessory 2 fits tightly with the mounting hole 6.2.

[0044] In this embodiment, container 9 is made of glass or stainless steel.

[0045] A heating element 10 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the container 9, and a top cover 11 is provided at the top opening of the inner cavity of the container 9. The top cover 11 is provided with a ventilation channel 11.1 that connects the inside of the container 9 and the outside.

[0046] Ventilation duct 11.1 can promptly expel excess gas, preventing excessive pressure inside container 9 from causing safety hazards and ensuring the safety of the tea brewing process.

[0047] In this embodiment, the heating element 10 is a heating tube that can be fixedly placed at the bottom of the container 9, or the heating element 10 can be placed separately on the heating base, and the container 9 can be placed on the heating base for heating.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
