Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of teaware technology, and in particular to a multifunctional Jianshui purple clay teapot with a lid that can be used as a coaster. Background Technology
[0002] Jianshui purple clay teapots, as a traditional tea utensil, are highly favored by tea enthusiasts due to their unique material and exquisite craftsmanship. In the traditional tea brewing process, the basic functions of a teapot are to steep tea leaves and pour tea soup, and its structure usually includes basic components such as the body, lid, and spout.
[0003] When enjoying tea or engaging in tea ceremony activities, users need to frequently lift the teapot to pour tea and place it on a tea tray or table during breaks. Similarly, when adding tea leaves or hot water, the removed lid must be set aside. This process seems simple, but in practice, it reveals some inconveniences.
[0004] Since the teapot and lid are at high temperatures after brewing tea, and there are often water droplets on the bottom of the teapot or the inner wall of the lid, if it is placed directly on a tea table or dry brewing table made of wood, lacquer, or other similar materials, it is very easy to cause burns to the table due to the high temperature, or the table will become wet due to water stains, affecting the cleanliness and aesthetics of the tea ceremony.
[0005] To address this issue, users typically need to purchase an additional teapot stand or coaster specifically for holding the teapot. However, this undoubtedly increases the number of utensils on the tea table, making the overall layout somewhat cumbersome and adding inconvenience when carrying tea sets around. Existing teapot designs do not offer an integrated solution for this common usage scenario; their structures and functions are relatively simple, lacking consideration for ease of use and the integration of accessories.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes a multifunctional Jianshui purple clay teapot with a lid that can also be used as a coaster, in order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0009] The coaster mechanism includes a lid and a bottom ring fixed to the bottom of the pot body. A handle is fixed to the outer top wall of the lid, and a locking block is provided on the inner side wall of the lid. When the lid is inverted, the pot body is engaged with the inner side wall of the lid and the locking block through its bottom ring.
[0010] Furthermore, the water dispensing mechanism includes a housing fixed to the spout, a cap hinged to the spout, a push rod, a connecting rod connecting the push rod and the cap, a spring for driving the push rod, and a locking assembly for locking the cap; the locking assembly includes a fixing plate fixed to the spout and a second locking block rotatably disposed on the fixing plate, the second locking block being used to selectively lock the cap.
[0011] Preferably, the handle has a hollow cavity, and when the lid is inverted, the edge of the handle contacts the support surface to support the lid.
[0012] Preferably, the first locking block is an annular rib arranged circumferentially along the inner sidewall of the lid.
[0013] Preferably, a side plate is fixed inside the outer casing, and the top rod is slidably inserted through the side plate.
[0014] Preferably, a fixing rod is also fixed inside the housing, one end of the spring is connected to the fixing rod, and the other end is connected to the top rod, for applying tension to the top rod.
[0015] Preferably, as a specific embodiment, the spring is sleeved on the top rod, with one end of the spring abutting against the side plate and the other end abutting against the flange on the top rod.
[0016] Preferably, when the second locking block rotates to the locked position, its locking part engages with the outer surface of the cover to resist the tension of the spring and keep the cover in the closed position.
[0017] Preferably, when the second locking block disengages from the cover, the spring drives the push rod to move, and the push rod pulls the cover open through the connecting rod until the back end of the connecting rod abuts against the outer shell and the push rod contacts the side plate.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0032] Example:
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a multifunctional Jianshui purple clay teapot with a lid that can be used as a coaster. It aims to solve the problems in the prior art where the lid and body of the teapot have nowhere to be placed, resulting in scalding or wetting of the table, and the spout is not sealed properly, making it inconvenient to pour tea.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the multifunctional Jianshui purple clay teapot with a lid that can also be used as a coaster includes a teapot body 1, a spout 2 fixed to the teapot body 1, and a lid 31 that is detachably placed on top of the teapot body 1; the teapot also includes a coaster mechanism 3 and a water dispensing mechanism 4.
[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the coaster mechanism 3 includes a lid 31 and a bottom ring 34 fixed to the bottom of the body 1; a handle 32 is fixedly connected to the center of the outer top wall of the lid 31. The handle 32 has a hollow cavity. When the lid 31 is inverted, the edge of the handle 32 contacts the support surface to support the lid 31; a locking block 33 is provided on the inner side wall of the lid 31. The locking block 33 is an annular protrusion rib arranged circumferentially along the inner side wall of the lid 31; when the lid 31 is inverted, the body 1 is placed inside the lid 31 through the bottom ring 34 at its bottom. The bottom ring 34 engages with the inner side wall of the lid 31 and the locking block 33, thereby stably fixing the body 1 on the lid 31, which serves as a coaster.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the water outlet mechanism 4 is located at the end of the spout 2. It includes a housing 41 fixed to the spout 2, a cap 47 hinged to the spout 2, a push rod 45, a connecting rod 46, a spring 44, and a locking assembly 48. One end of the connecting rod 46 is rotatably connected to the push rod 45, and the other end is rotatably connected to the cap 47. The locking assembly 48 includes a fixing plate 482 and a locking block 481. The fixing plate 482 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the spout 2, and the locking block 481 is rotatably mounted on the fixing plate 482 to selectively lock the cap 47, so as to realize the closing and locking or releasing and opening of the cap 47.
[0037] Please refer to the following carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The core structure of the water outlet mechanism 4 is described in detail below: the outer shell 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the spout 2 by welding or integral molding. A side plate 42 and a fixing rod 43 are fixedly connected inside the outer shell 41. The top rod 45 is slidably inserted into a through hole in the side plate 42. One end of the spring 44 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 43, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top rod 45. The spring 44 always applies a pulling force towards the kettle body 1 to the top rod 45. In another embodiment, the spring 4... 4 can also be a compression spring 44 fitted on the top rod 45, with one end abutting against the side plate 42 and the other end abutting against the flange on the top rod 45, pushing the top rod 45 to move through the elastic force; the cap 47 is hinged to the upper end of the spout 2 through a pin, and one end of the connecting rod 46 is rotatably connected to the cap 47 and the other end is rotatably connected to the top rod 45; this transmission structure composed of the spring 44, the top rod 45 and the connecting rod 46 ensures that the cap 47 can be automatically and quickly pulled open after being unlocked.
[0038] In one preferred embodiment, to make the lid 31 more stable when inverted, the handle 32 is designed with a hollow cavity structure, and its lower edge forms an annular support surface for smooth contact with the table. In another preferred embodiment, to achieve a reliable snap-fit, the first snap-fit block 33 is specifically designed as an annular rib arranged circumferentially along the inner wall of the lid 31, and the shape and size of the annular rib are adapted to the bottom ring 34 at the bottom of the body 1. In a specific locked state, the second snap-fit block 481 rotates to the locked position, and its snap-fit part snaps into the outer surface of the lid 47. At this time, the lid 47 is mechanically limited and cannot be opened. When the lid 47 is fully open, the end point of its movement stroke is determined by two structural limits, namely, the back end of the connecting rod 46 abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell 41, and the end of the top rod 45 also contacts the side plate 42.
[0039] The working principle is as follows:
[0040] When the pot body 1 needs to be temporarily placed, the pot lid 31 can be flipped upside down and placed on the support surface. The handle 32 of the pot lid 31 will make stable contact with the support surface with its edge, forming a stable base. Then, the pot body 1 is placed inside the inverted pot lid 31. The bottom ring 34 of the pot body 1 will be embedded in the pot lid 31 and form a fixed relationship with the inner side wall of the pot lid 31 and the locking block 33. The pot lid 31 is used as a coaster for the pot body 1 through the coaster mechanism 3, avoiding direct contact between the hot or humid pot body and the table.
[0041] When brewing tea, the user can manually close the lid 47 and rotate the second locking block 481 fixed on the fixing plate 482 to lock the lid 47. At this time, the locking component 48 locks the lid 47 in the closed position to resist the tension of the spring 44 and achieve the sealing of the spout 2, ensuring the brewing environment. When pouring tea, the user only needs to move the second locking block 481 to release the lid 47. The spring 44 immediately retracts and pulls the top rod 45. The top rod 45 then drives the lid 47 to rotate around its hinge axis through the connecting rod 46 and automatically opens until the back end of the connecting rod 46 abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell 41 and the top rod 45 contacts the side plate 42. The automatic and rapid opening of the spout 2 is achieved through the water outlet mechanism 4, which improves the convenience of use.
