Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea bar machine technology, specifically a tea bar machine with an anti-clogging tea leak. Background Technology

[0002] In modern homes and offices, tea bar machines, as convenient devices that integrate water storage, heating, and tea brewing functions, have become an important tool for many people's daily tea drinking. They can quickly provide hot water at the right temperature and also store teaware in their built-in space, making the tea brewing process simpler and more efficient. They are especially suitable for people who pursue a high quality of life and love tea, meeting their needs for convenience whether enjoying a leisurely cup at home or quickly refilling their cup during office breaks.

[0003] However, existing tea bar machines still have significant pain points in actual use. Most traditional tea bar machines are not equipped with a dedicated tea strainer. If users need to filter tea leaves or perform tea rinsing, they need to prepare tea utensils separately, which not only undermines the convenience of the "one-stop tea brewing" function of the tea bar machine, but may also cause spills due to frequent tea transfers, affecting the user experience. Even in some tea bar machines that are equipped with tea strainers, their design has significant flaws: on the one hand, these tea strainers are mostly single-layer filter structures. After long-term use, tea residue easily accumulates in the mesh, causing blockages, resulting in a sharp drop in water flow and even tea overflow. Users need to frequently disassemble and clean them manually, which is both troublesome and disrupts the tea-drinking rhythm; on the other hand, the installation and disassembly structure of traditional tea strainers is complex, often requiring the unscrewing of multiple screws or clips. The components are tightly connected, making complete disassembly difficult, and cleaning can easily leave dead corners. Long-term tea residue not only affects hygiene but also breeds bacteria, posing a potential threat to health.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a tea bar machine with an anti-clogging tea strainer. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tea bar machine with an anti-clogging tea strainer, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art that most existing tea bar machines do not have a dedicated tea strainer, require separate operation for filtering and washing tea, and that the tea strainers of some tea bar machines are prone to clogging, difficult to disassemble and assemble, and have blind spots for cleaning.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tea bar machine with an anti-clogging tea strainer, comprising a cabinet, a bar counter installed at the upper end of the cabinet, and a tea strainer body disposed at the middle of the upper end of the bar counter; the tea strainer body is supported on the upper end of the bar counter by a bracket, and a male magnet and a female magnet are respectively disposed at the lower end of the bracket and the upper end of the bar counter; the tea strainer body includes a coarse mesh tea strainer and a fine mesh tea strainer sleeved at its bottom, with a coaxial circular hole formed at their axis; a cleaning rod is rotatably disposed within the circular hole, and a scraper is fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning rod, the scraper being located between the bottom gaps of the coarse mesh tea strainer and the fine mesh tea strainer; a valve handle is installed at the upper end of the cleaning rod.

[0007] Preferably, nylon brushes are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the scraper, and the nylon brush bristles extend into the mesh of the coarse mesh tea strainer and the fine mesh tea strainer.

[0008] Preferably, the cleaning rod comprises, from top to bottom: a retaining ring abutting against the inner surface of the lower end of the coarse mesh tea strainer; a square post connecting the retaining ring; a threaded head; an inner square sleeve being fitted over the square post, the inner square sleeve being fixedly connected to one end of the scraper; and a threaded cap being threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded head, the threaded cap abutting against the bottom of the fine mesh tea strainer.

[0009] Preferably, the diameter of the retaining ring is larger than the diameter of the central hole of the coarse mesh tea strainer, and the diameter of the threaded cap is larger than the diameter of the central hole of the fine mesh tea strainer, in order to limit the axial displacement of the cleaning rod.

[0010] Preferably, an upper baffle is fixed to the upper outer wall of the coarse mesh tea strainer, and a lower baffle is fixed to the upper outer wall of the fine mesh tea strainer; the upper baffle is nested in the groove at the upper end of the lower baffle, and an axially movable rectangular sleeve is fitted on the outer side of the lower baffle to lock the relative position of the upper and lower baffles.

[0011] Preferably, a stop block is fixed at the end of the lower baffle away from the upper baffle, and the width of the stop block is greater than the inner diameter of the rectangular sleeve to prevent the rectangular sleeve from detaching.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the bracket has an annular ring structure, and the handle is fixed to the outer wall of the fine mesh tea strainer.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention uses a coarse mesh tea strainer to intercept larger tea leaves, while a fine mesh tea strainer filters out fine tea dust. This avoids excessive filtration pressure on a single mesh opening. Furthermore, rotating the valve handle allows the cleaning rod and scraper to rotate between the two tea strainers, quickly removing accumulated tea leaves. The nylon brushes on the upper and lower parts of the scraper penetrate deep into the mesh openings to forcibly remove residual tea dust, significantly reducing water flow problems caused by blockages and extending the lifespan of the tea strainer.

[0015] In this invention, the main body of the tea strainer is connected to the bar counter via a magnetic bracket, and can be easily removed by pulling the handle, allowing for one-handed operation. For disassembly and cleaning, the sliding rectangular sleeve unlocks the upper and lower baffles, quickly separating the coarse-mesh tea strainer from the fine-mesh tea strainer; loosening the threaded cap removes the cleaning rod and scraper, enabling complete component separation for thorough cleaning without any blind spots, effectively preventing tea residue residue and ensuring drinking water hygiene.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a tea bar machine with an anti-clogging tea strainer, including a cabinet 1, a bar counter 2 installed on the upper end of the cabinet 1, and a tea strainer body 3 set in the middle of the upper end of the bar counter 2; the tea strainer body 3 is supported on the upper end of the bar counter 2 by a bracket 4, and a male magnet 5 and a female magnet 6 are respectively set at the lower end of the bracket 4 and the upper end of the bar counter 2; the tea strainer body 3 includes a coarse mesh tea strainer 7 and a fine mesh tea strainer 8 sleeved at its bottom, and the two have a coaxial circular hole on their axis; a cleaning rod 9 is rotatably set in the circular hole, and a scraper 10 is fixed on the outer wall of the cleaning rod 9, the scraper 10 being located between the bottom gap of the coarse mesh tea strainer 7 and the fine mesh tea strainer 8; a valve handle 11 is installed on the upper end of the cleaning rod 9. This tea bar machine with an anti-clogging tea strainer has a bar counter 2 at the top of the cabinet 1 supporting the tea strainer body 3 via a bracket 4. The bracket 4 and the bar counter 2 are magnetically fixed together using a male magnet 5 and a female magnet 6, making it easy to put on and take off the tea strainer body 3. The tea strainer body 3 is composed of a coarse mesh tea strainer 7 and a fine mesh tea strainer 8 connected together. A cleaning rod 9 is rotatably installed in the coaxial circular hole at the axis of the two. The scraper 10 on the outer wall of the cleaning rod 9 is located in the bottom gap between the coarse mesh tea strainer 7 and the fine mesh tea strainer 8. Rotating the valve 11 at the top can drive the cleaning rod 9 to rotate, so that the scraper 10 can scrape away the tea residue in the gap, thus preventing clogging. At the same time, the double-layer filtration structure can reduce the probability of direct clogging by tea residue. The overall design integrates filtration, support and active cleaning functions, solving the problem of easy clogging of traditional tea strainers.

[0026] Nylon brushes are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the scraper 10, with the bristles extending into the mesh openings of the coarse-mesh tea strainer 7 and the fine-mesh tea strainer 8. When the cleaning rod 9 rotates the scraper 10, the nylon brushes simultaneously scrub the inside of the mesh openings of both tea strainers, forcibly removing small residues stuck in the mesh openings, further preventing clogging and enhancing the anti-clogging effect.

[0027] The cleaning rod 9, from top to bottom, includes: a retaining ring 12 abutting against the inner surface of the lower end of the coarse mesh tea strainer 7; a square post 13 connected to the retaining ring 12; a threaded head 15; an inner square sleeve 14 fitted over the square post 13, which is fixedly connected to one end of the scraper 10; and a threaded cap 16 threaded to the outer wall of the threaded head 15, which abuts against the bottom of the fine mesh tea strainer 8. The retaining ring 12 of the cleaning rod 9 abuts against the inner surface of the lower end of the coarse mesh tea strainer 7, the inner square sleeve 14 fitted over the square post 13 is fixed to the scraper 10, and the threaded cap 16 connected to the threaded head 15 abuts against the bottom of the fine mesh tea strainer 8. This structure allows the cleaning rod 9 to be stably assembled in the double-layer tea strainer, and through the cooperation of the square post 13 and the inner square sleeve 14, it ensures that the cleaning rod 9 can synchronously drive the scraper 10 to rotate when it rotates, ensuring effective transmission of the cleaning action.

[0028] The retaining ring 12 has a diameter larger than the diameter of the central hole of the coarse-mesh tea strainer 7, and the threaded cap 16 has a diameter larger than the diameter of the central hole of the fine-mesh tea strainer 8. These are used to limit the axial displacement of the cleaning rod 9. The retaining ring 12, with its larger diameter than the central hole of the coarse-mesh tea strainer 7, and the threaded cap 16, with its larger diameter than the central hole of the fine-mesh tea strainer 8, respectively limit the axial displacement of the cleaning rod 9 from both the top and bottom directions, preventing the cleaning rod 9 from shifting during rotation. This ensures that the scraper 10 remains within the bottom gap between the coarse-mesh tea strainer 7 and the fine-mesh tea strainer 8, guaranteeing a stable cleaning position.

[0029] An upper baffle 17 is fixed to the outer wall of the upper end of the coarse mesh tea strainer 7, and a lower baffle 18 is fixed to the outer wall of the upper end of the fine mesh tea strainer 8. The upper baffle 17 is nested in the groove at the upper end of the lower baffle 18, and a rectangular sleeve 19 that can move axially is fitted on the outside of the lower baffle 18 to lock the relative position of the upper baffle 17 and the lower baffle 18. The upper baffle 17 of the coarse mesh tea strainer 7 is nested in the groove of the lower baffle 18 of the fine mesh tea strainer 8 to achieve the initial positioning of the double-layer tea strainer. The rectangular sleeve 19 on the outside of the lower baffle 18 can move axially. When the rectangular sleeve 19 fits over the nested part of the upper baffle 17 and the lower baffle 18, it can lock the relative position of the two and ensure that the double-layer tea strainer is stably fitted. When the rectangular sleeve 19 slides out of the nested part, the double-layer tea strainer can be unlocked for easy separation and cleaning.

[0030] A stop block 20 is fixed to the end of the lower baffle 18 away from the upper baffle 17. The width of the stop block 20 is greater than the inner diameter of the rectangular sleeve 19 to prevent the rectangular sleeve 19 from detaching. The width of the stop block 20 at the end of the lower baffle 18 is greater than the inner diameter of the rectangular sleeve 19, which can limit the axial movement range of the rectangular sleeve 19 and prevent the rectangular sleeve 19 from detaching from the lower baffle 18 during sliding. This ensures that the rectangular sleeve 19 is always engaged with the lower baffle 18, thus ensuring the reliability of the double-layer tea infuser locking and unlocking structure.

[0031] The upper part of the bracket 4 has a ring-shaped structure, and the handle 21 is fixed on the outer wall of the fine mesh tea strainer 8. The ring-shaped structure at the upper part of the bracket 4 can stably support the tea strainer body 3, ensuring its accurate positioning during use; the handle 21 on the outer wall of the coarse mesh tea strainer 7 makes it easy for users to lift. With the design of the magnetic bracket 4, users can easily remove the tea strainer body 3 from the bracket 4 through the handle 21, realizing convenient disassembly and facilitating subsequent maintenance and cleaning.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] The tea strainer body 3 is placed on the support 4 at the top of the bar counter 2. The sub-magnet 5 at the bottom of the support 4 is attracted and fixed to the female magnet 6 on the bar counter 2, achieving "instant stability upon placement." At this point, the coarse-mesh tea strainer 7 and the fine-mesh tea strainer 8 are nested together by the upper baffle 17 and lower baffle 18, and locked by the rectangular sleeve 19, forming a double-layer filtration structure. Tea leaves are placed in the coarse-mesh tea strainer 7, and hot water is poured in. The tea water first passes through the coarse-mesh tea strainer 7 to filter out larger tea leaves, then through the fine-mesh tea strainer 8 to filter out smaller tea dust, finally flowing out from the bottom of the double-layer tea strainer to the lower water receiving area. This double-layer filtration design reduces the probability of clogging in a single mesh. If the water flow slows down due to clogged mesh, the rotary valve handle 11 rotates the cleaning rod 9. The cleaning rod 9, through the cooperation of the square post 13 and the inner square sleeve 14, simultaneously rotates the scraper 10 within the bottom gap between the coarse mesh tea strainer 7 and the fine mesh tea strainer 8, scraping away accumulated tea residue. Simultaneously, the nylon brushes above and below the scraper 10 extend into the mesh of both tea strainers, scrubbing away any remaining tea dust and forcibly unclogging the mesh. During cleaning, the cleaning rod 9 is limited by the retaining ring 12 and the threaded cap 16 to prevent axial movement and ensure a stable cleaning position. For deep cleaning after use, the tea strainer body 3 can be removed from the bracket 4 by pulling the handle 21; the upper baffle 17 and lower baffle 18 can be unlocked by sliding the rectangular sleeve 19, separating the coarse mesh tea strainer 7 and the fine mesh tea strainer 8; the threaded cap 16 can be loosened to remove the cleaning rod 9 and scraper 10, allowing for separate cleaning of each component and avoiding cleaning dead spots. After cleaning, reverse the steps to nest the coarse mesh tea strainer 7 and the fine mesh tea strainer 8 and lock them together with the rectangular sleeve 19. Then, put the cleaning rod 9 back in and tighten the threaded cap 16. Finally, put the tea strainer body 3 back into the bracket 4 to fix it in place. It can then be used again.

[0034] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
