By spaced two water level gauges at the same height, precise control can be achieved in the electronic control, while reducing the impact of scale on the surface of the water level gauges on the measurement. This can make the water level detection more accurate and avoid inaccurate water level detection when the equipment is tilted.

[0038] The first water level gauge 27 and the second water level gauge 36 are both water level gauges that can be purchased directly from the market. Their structure and temperature measurement working principle are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] The control component 11 is a mature product that can be directly purchased from the market, and its structure and control principle will not be described in detail here.

[0052] The hot water switch 17, the first cold water switch 231, the second cold water switch 331, the first drain switch 251, and the outlet switch 18 are all solenoid valves.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second drain switch 351 is a manually operated stainless steel ball valve. It should be noted that in actual use, a solenoid valve can also be used for control.

[0054] The method of using this utility model is as follows: Start the device, open the second cold water switch 331, add cold water to the second housing 30 according to the preset value of the control component 11, and the second heating unit 31 heats the water in the second housing 30 to the preset temperature. During the heating process, the second water pump runs, causing the water inside the second housing to circulate. Place the tea brewing container 40 containing tea leaves on the support frame 41, set the required hot water temperature and amount on the control panel, open the hot water switch 17 and the first cold water switch 231, and add a certain proportion of hot and cold water to the first housing 20. The first heating unit 21 heats the water inside the first housing 20. The water is heated. During the heating process, the first water pump 22 runs, causing the water inside the first housing 20 to circulate. When the water temperature is heated to the preset temperature, the first heating unit 21 stops running. After the first position sensor detects the tea brewing barrel, the control component 11 controls the third water pump 261 to run and add the preset amount of hot water to the tea brewing barrel 40. The tea receiving barrel is placed in the tea receiving barrel placement position 12. The second position sensor 13 detects the tea receiving barrel. When the brewing time reaches the set value, the control component 11 controls the water outlet switch 18 to open, and the tea soup in the tea brewing barrel 40 is put into the tea receiving barrel. The tea receiving barrel containing the tea soup can be taken out and drunk.

[0055] In summary, this utility model, by setting up a first water pump 22 and a second water pump 32, ensures that the water inside the shell is heated evenly, resulting in uniform hot water temperature and improved taste of the brewed tea. By positioning the second shell 30 above the first shell 20, the hot water inside the second shell 30 can flow into the first shell 20 under its own weight, eliminating the need for a water pump and reducing operating costs. Furthermore, the preheating mechanism preheats the water; when needed for brewing tea, the preheated hot water can be added to the mixing mechanism to mix with cold water, reducing heating time and improving brewing efficiency. This eliminates the need for excessively long waiting times, meeting market demands.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made to the above embodiments based on the actual technical aspects of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
