Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a rotating magnetic tea-water separator cup. It belongs to the technical field of tea-water separator cups. Background Technology
[0002] Teacups are a common water container in our daily lives. There are many styles of teacups, the most common being the cylindrical teacup used in daily office or travel environments. In my country, tea is an essential additive for daily drinking water, used to adjust the taste of the water and give the tea a fragrant aroma. However, existing teacups are generally made by simply putting tea leaves directly into the cup and then adding boiling water to achieve the effect of brewing tea. After brewing, the tea leaves stick to the inside of the cup, which is inconvenient to clean, and it is easy for tea leaves to enter the mouth when drinking tea. Therefore, tea infuser cups have appeared on the market.
[0003] Tea cups are a very common drinking utensil, currently available in single-layer and double-layer types, varying in size and shape. However, most lack a tea-water separation function, making them inconvenient for drinking tea. Some, while having a tea-water separation function, simply have a filter at the top to prevent tea leaves from clogging the mouth. These types of cups cannot effectively separate tea leaves from the water, resulting in the first brew being too hot to drink immediately, leading to a prolonged steeping time, high concentration, and bitterness; the second and third brews are weak and tasteless. Drinking tea from these cups also results in the loss of most of the nutrients in the tea leaves (tannins and theophylline in tea are harmful to health, and over-steeping increases extraction). While some tea ceremony cups and teapots with tea-water separation functions effectively solve the problem, they are generally not portable and are more suitable for home or office use. Other tea-water separation cups achieve tea-water separation and are portable, but they have structural flaws and are relatively complex to manufacture. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention proposes a rotating magnetic tea-water separator cup that uses the repulsion of like poles of magnets to open and close the sealing plate. It is simple and convenient to operate, and the lower lid assembly and tea-water separation assembly can be disassembled separately for easy cleaning and maintenance. This invention solves the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A rotating magnetic tea-water separator cup includes a hollow cup body with an opening at the bottom, a lower cup lid assembly threadedly connected to the lower cup lid assembly, and a tea-water separator assembly installed in the cup body with one end abutting against the lower cup lid assembly; the tea-water separator assembly enables the connection and separation of the water compartment and the tea compartment; the cup body has a double-layer glass structure with a vacuum interlayer in the middle;
[0007] The tea-water separation component includes a tea-water separation plate installed in the cup body, a sealing plate and a filter plate respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the tea-water separation plate, and a central column that abuts against the center of the lower cup lid. A first magnet is installed at the lower end of the central column.
[0008] The lower cup lid assembly includes a lower cup lid connected to the opening at the lower end of the cup body and a rotating lid rotatably connected to the lower cup lid. The rotating lid has an arc-shaped moving groove on the side facing the lower cup lid, and the lower cup lid has a magnetic limiting groove on the side facing the rotating lid. A second magnet is placed in the magnetic limiting groove, which is driven by the rotation of the rotating lid to move towards the center or side of the lower cup lid, thereby repelling the first magnet and causing the sealing plate to move. The second magnet is connected to a protrusion that matches the arc-shaped moving groove. The rotating lid can rotate relative to the lower cup lid and is also limited by the lower cup lid.
[0009] The first magnet and the second magnet are arranged opposite each other at the same level.
[0010] During use, first place the lower lid assembly facing upwards, open the lower lid, put tea leaves into the tea compartment, and then tighten the lower lid. Next, place the upper lid assembly facing upwards, add hot water into the water compartment, and then tighten the upper lid assembly. Then rotate the lid to rotate the second magnet from the side of the lower lid to the center of the lower lid, where it repels the first magnet, causing the sealing plate to move upwards. Hot water from the water compartment enters the tea compartment and mixes with the tea leaves for brewing. After a period of time, rotate the lid again to rotate the second magnet from the center of the lower lid to the side of the lower lid. The first magnet returns to its original position under the action of the first spring, and the sealing plate closes the tea compartment. The filter plate prevents tea leaves from entering the water compartment, and the user can then open the upper lid assembly to drink tea.
[0011] During installation, after assembling the upper lid assembly, lower lid assembly, and tea / water separator assembly, insert the tea / water separator assembly into the protruding area of the cup body using a cylinder, and then rotate the upper lid assembly and lower lid assembly by thread to complete the assembly.
[0012] The tea-water separation tray is provided with a spring mounting groove, in which a first spring for resetting the sealing plate is installed. The first spring is sleeved on the outside of the central column. The central column has a step, and one end of the first spring abuts against the step of the central column, while the other end abuts against the spring mounting groove. When the second magnet is rotated from the side of the lower cup lid to the center of the lower cup lid, it repels the first magnet, causing the first magnet and the central column to move upward together, and the first spring is in a compressed state. After the second magnet rotates to the side of the lower cup lid, the first spring resets, causing the first magnet and the central column to move downward.
[0013] The rotating lid has rivet slots, and multiple limiting rivets are installed between the lower cup lid and the rotating lid. Each limiting rivet has a horizontal end and a vertical end. The horizontal end engages with and rotates within the rivet slot, while the vertical end is fixedly connected to the lower cup lid, thus restricting the movement of the lower cup lid and the rotating lid. There are four rivet slots, limiting the rotation angle of the rotating lid.
[0014] One end of the arc-shaped moving groove is equipped with a baffle to prevent the protrusion from detaching. One side of the baffle is installed in the baffle mounting groove of the rotating lid. The lower lid is evenly provided with teeth, and the other side of the baffle abuts against the teeth. When the user rotates the lid, it will make a squeaking sound to remind the customer that it is rotating.
[0015] The upper part of the cup body has an opening, and an upper cup lid assembly is threadedly connected to it.
[0016] The cup body has a protruding area for mounting the tea-water separation component. A water reservoir is formed between the protruding area and the upper lid assembly, and a tea reservoir is formed between the protruding area and the lower lid assembly. The protruding area is a circumferentially protruding area on the inner wall, used to engage the tea-water separation component.
[0017] The tea-water separation disc has an I-shaped cross-section, including an upper wide section, a middle narrow section, and a lower wide section. The upper wide section is equipped with a sealing plate for blocking and opening the water tank from entering the tea tank. The middle narrow section is equipped with multiple snap-fit devices to facilitate the disassembly of the tea-water separation component. The lower wide section is equipped with a filter plate for filtering tea leaves in the tea tank and preventing tea leaves from entering the water tank.
[0018] The locking device includes a cup-shaped slot, a second spring installed within the slot, and a bead with one end abutting against the second spring and the other end abutting against a protruding area of the cup body. The bead smoothly engages with the protruding area of the cup body, allowing the user to easily disassemble the tea-water separation component with minimal effort.
[0019] The arc-shaped moving groove is spiral-shaped, spiraling from the side to the center. The second magnet is rotated from the side of the lower lid to the center of the lower lid, or vice versa, along a defined path, thus limiting its movement trajectory.
[0020] This utility model has the following features and significant effects:
[0021] This utility model relates to a rotating magnetic tea-water separator cup where the lower lid assembly and the tea-water separator assembly abut against each other. The opening and closing of the sealing plate is achieved through the repulsion of like poles of magnets, allowing the liquid in the water tank to flow together or the tea tank to be separated. The structure is simple, easy to install, and convenient to clean and maintain. It allows people to get a uniform taste when drinking tea without tea leaves leaking out. The cup body is transparent, and the degree of tea leaf over-steeping can be better controlled during the tea brewing process. Attached Figure Description
