The water-removing component 2 includes a storage rod 221 and a cleaning agent box 2 that slides and extends within the storage rod 221. 27. A cleaning cotton pad 230 is provided at the lower part of the cleaning agent box 227; by providing an annular notch 13 and a rectangular notch 14 on the tray 12, the water stain removal component 2 can be movably hidden in the structure of the tea bar machine body 1. The water stain removal component 2 is integrated with the tea bar machine body 1, making the tea bar machine body 1 more beautiful. When in use, it is raised and unfolded. The combination of the rotating ring 211 and the water stain removal component 2 allows the water stain removal component 2 to rotate on the horizontal plane to clean the water stains on the tray 12.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the water-removing component 2 further includes a fixing ring 214. The fixing ring 214 has a guide groove 215 and a locking groove 216 arranged circumferentially. The locking groove 216 is located below the guide groove 215 and communicates with it. A spring 213 is also provided between the fixing ring 214 and the rotating ring 211. A first guide post 212 is provided inside the rotating ring 211, which is sleeved on the fixing ring 214. The first guide post 212 is slidably fitted within the guide groove 215 and the locking groove 216. The sliding fit between the first guide post 212 and the guide groove 215 and the locking groove 216 ensures the guiding and limiting function of the rotating ring 211 during rotation. By providing the guide groove 215 and the locking groove 216 on the fixing ring 214, the rotating ring 211... The device can slide and rotate within the guide rail groove 215. When the first guide post 212 is located in the locking groove 216, the water-removing component 2 is precisely engaged in the rectangular notch 14, achieving precise positioning and locking. The spring 213, positioned between the rotating ring 211 and the fixed ring 214, provides elastic restoring force. When the rotating ring 211 rotates to the locking groove 216, the spring 213 provides longitudinal clamping force, causing the first guide post 212 to automatically enter the locking groove 216 and securely engage, effectively improving the locking effect. The guide rail groove 215 is circumferentially set at an angle of not less than 270°. This structure allows the rotating ring 211 to rotate within a range of four-thirds of its circumference, giving the user greater operational freedom and enabling flexible adjustment of the cleaning component's coverage position to meet the cleaning needs of water stains in different locations. The fixed ring 214 is also provided with an assembly groove 217, which is located on the upper part of the fixed ring 214 and communicates with the guide rail groove 215, facilitating the installation of the first guide post 212 of the rotating ring 211.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a T-shaped guide groove 222 is axially provided inside the storage rod 221, and sliders 231 that cooperate with the T-shaped guide groove 222 are provided on both sides of the detergent box 227. The detergent box 227 is slidably mounted on the T-shaped guide groove of the storage rod 221 by means of the sliders 231. The cooperation structure between the T-shaped guide groove 222 and the sliders 231 provides precise guidance for the sliding of the detergent box 227, so that the detergent box 227 can smoothly extend and retract along the axial direction of the storage rod 221 to meet the cleaning needs of water stains at different distances.

[0033] The cleaning agent container 227 has a cavity with multiple evenly spaced discharge holes at the bottom. A cover plate 224 is provided at the top of the cavity, and a filling port 225 is provided on the cover plate 224. This structure allows an appropriate amount of cleaning liquid to be added to the cleaning agent container 227 through the filling port 225 before use, and the liquid is released stably and evenly through the evenly distributed discharge holes at the bottom, ensuring that the cleaning pad 230 remains moist throughout the cleaning process, thereby improving the actual effect of removing water stains.

[0034] The upper part of the storage rod 221 is also provided with an axial limiting groove 223, and the tail of the cover plate 224 is provided with a second guide post 226. The second guide post 226 is slidably positioned in the limiting groove 223. Through the structural cooperation between the limiting groove 223 and the second guide post 226, the detergent box 227 can be effectively prevented from being pulled out of the structure body due to excessive pulling during sliding.

[0035] The cleaning agent container 227 has a mounting base 228 at its rear, and a grip ball 229 is fixedly attached to the mounting base 228. This structure makes it easy for users to manually grip and operate the cleaning agent container 227, and provides a reliable force point when performing cleaning operations or pulling out and pushing in the container, improving the grip stability and ease of operation during use, while avoiding hand contamination or accidental contact with the liquid inside the device due to direct contact with the cotton pad.

[0036] When a user discovers water stains caused by tea residue around the tea bar machine tray 12 or the water tap 11, the user can rotate the rotating ring 211 located at the annular notch 13 to unfold the water stain removal component 2 hidden within the tray 12 structure from the annular notch 13 and the rectangular notch 14. The rotating ring 211 slides in the guide groove 215 of the fixed ring 214, and the first guide post 212 is guided within the guide rail. When rotated to an appropriate angle, the guide post can be locked into the locking groove 216 with the assistance of the spring 213 to fix its position. Subsequently, the user holds the grip ball 229 installed at the tail of the cleaning agent box 227 and pulls the cleaning agent box 227 out of the storage rod 221 to an appropriate length according to the distribution of water stains. The sliders 231 on both sides of the cleaning agent box 227 slide smoothly along the T-shaped guide groove 222, and the cleaning cotton pad 230 at the bottom of the cleaning agent box 227 adheres to the surface of the tray 12 for cleaning. The cleaning solution pre-filled in the internal cavity is slowly released through the evenly distributed discharge holes at the bottom, ensuring that the cleaning cotton pad 230 remains moist and effective. After cleaning, the user pushes the cleaning agent box 227 into the storage rod 221. The second guide post 226 is confined within the limiting groove 223 on the storage rod 221 to prevent excessive insertion and withdrawal. Then, the rotating ring 211 is rotated back to its initial position, and the first guide post 212 disengages from the locking groove 216 and returns to the starting end of the guide rail groove 215. The rotating ring 211 and the water stain removal component 2 are then stored and hidden in the structure of the tea bar machine body 1, thus completing the operation and restoring the aesthetic appearance. If the cleaning solution is exhausted, the filling port 225 on the top cover 224 of the cleaning agent box 227 can be opened to add cleaning solution. The whole process is convenient to operate, the actions are smooth, the cleaning efficiency is high, and the exposed structure is effectively avoided from affecting the overall appearance of the machine.
