Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instant brewing structure technology, specifically to an instant brewing structure for milk tea. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional milk tea is a beverage made by mixing tea and milk. By balancing the bitterness of the tea with the richness of the milk, a unique flavor is created. Its form varies depending on regional culture: for example, salty milk tea in the Chinese grasslands uses brick tea with salt and milk, English milk tea uses black tea with sugar and milk, Indian masala milk tea incorporates spicy spices, while Hong Kong-style and Taiwanese milk tea emphasize strong tea and smooth milk.
[0003] However, with the industrialization of society, in order to achieve higher economic benefits, milk tea began to adopt and increase industrial production in order to mass-produce milk tea products. In the process, milk tea is pre-made and sealed. However, in order to maintain the flavor and prevent spoilage, preservatives need to be added to the pre-made milk tea products. Long-term consumption of milk tea containing preservatives may increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, and even cause health problems such as allergies and intestinal flora imbalance.
[0004] In addition, the existing packaging structure of pre-made milk tea mostly adopts a fixed and sealed design, which makes it difficult to achieve fresh brewing and drinking. This makes it difficult for consumers to obtain fresh milk tea. Moreover, the packaging function is limited and lacks flexible control over the separate storage of tea powder and liquid, making it difficult to meet users' needs for healthy, convenient and personalized brewing. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a freshly brewed milk tea structure, aiming to solve the aforementioned problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A milk tea brewing structure includes a container body with an opening, and further includes:
[0008] The opening is provided with a detachable cover, and a leak-proof component is slidably provided inside the cover. The leak-proof component is fitted with an annular groove on its outer side, and the cover can be sealed by the leak-proof component.
[0009] Preferably, the leak-proof component further includes a baffle plate disposed at the bottom of the cover body, the baffle plate being slidably connected to the cover body via a sliding rod, and an mounting piece with a pull ring being fixed at the end of the sliding rod away from the baffle plate.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the cover has an opening for the sliding rod to slide, and a sealing sleeve is engaged in the opening, with the inner ring of the sealing sleeve fitting against the sliding rod.
[0011] Preferably, the return spring is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod, with one end of the return spring abutting against the mounting plate and the other end abutting against the sealing sleeve. The mounting plate can be pushed through the annular groove. When no external force is applied, the upper surface of the baffle is in contact with the bottom of the cover.
[0012] Preferably, the upper surface of the baffle is provided as an annular inclined surface.
[0013] Preferably, the outer side of the baffle is provided with an annular groove, and a limiting ring that matches the annular groove is fixed inside the opening corresponding to the limiting ring. When the baffle and the cover are in contact, the annular groove can engage with the limiting ring.
[0014] Preferably, the lower side of the limiting ring is provided with a sealing ring that engages with the inner wall of the opening. When the baffle is located inside the opening, the sealing ring is in contact with the outer ring surface of the baffle.
[0015] Preferably, a mounting ring is fixed to the outer side of the cover, and a sealing gasket is provided on the lower side of the mounting ring.
[0016] Preferably, the top of the cover is provided with an outer cylinder that wraps the leak-proof components exposed on the outside of the cover.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] This utility model provides a milk tea brewing structure that can store tea powder and liquid separately, allowing consumers to brew and drink it on the spot without the need for pre-made milk tea. This reduces the need for preservatives and ensures drinking safety. Consumers only need to press the leak-proof component to quickly release the tea powder into the container body, achieving "one-click brewing", which is simple and efficient to operate.
[0019] The leak-proof components, together with the limiting ring and sealing ring, ensure that the tea powder is strictly sealed during transportation and storage, avoiding leakage problems caused by vibration or accidental contact. Furthermore, the multiple sealing structure of the sealing sleeve and sealing gasket further isolates air and moisture, extending the shelf life of the tea powder.
[0020] The lid and leak-proof components are designed to be detachable, and the lid can be refilled with tea powder for multiple uses, reducing packaging waste and conforming to the concept of environmental protection. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 The embodiments proposed in this application involve: a freshly brewed milk tea structure, including a container body 10 with an opening 11, a lid 20 installed inside the opening 11, an internal thread inside the opening 11, and an external thread on the outer side of the lid 20 corresponding to the opening 11, so that the lid 20 and the opening 11 can be disassembled and reassembled through a threaded connection. Both the container body 10 and the lid 20 serve a storage function. When water is stored in the container body 10, the lid 20 stores formula tea and milk powder. When liquid milk is stored in the container body 10, the lid 20 only stores formula tea (without milk) to facilitate freshly brewing the milk tea. The formula involved is tea powder, and the types of tea powder include, but are not limited to, Ganoderma lucidum tea, as well as the six major tea categories such as green tea and black tea. The material of the container body 10 can refer to existing high-temperature resistant plastic or glass materials. To improve the taste of the freshly brewed milk tea, consumers can choose to heat the container body 10 to heat the milk tea beverage.
[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A leak-proof component 30 is slidably provided inside the lid 20. The leak-proof component 30 can seal the lid 20, thereby sealing the tea powder (or tea powder with added milk powder) stored inside the lid 20. This prevents the tea powder from being stored normally inside the lid 20 when there is no need to brew milk tea. Conversely, when it is necessary to brew milk tea, simply press the leak-proof component 30 as a whole to release the seal on the tea powder inside the lid 20, allowing the tea powder to fall into the container body 10 for brewing milk tea.
[0030] Specifically, the leak-proof component 30 includes a baffle 31 disposed at the bottom of the cover 20. A sliding rod 32 is fixed in the middle of the baffle 31. The end of the sliding rod 32 away from the baffle 31 extends to the outside of the cover 20 and is slidably connected to the cover 20. The end of the sliding rod 32 away from the baffle 31 is fixed with a mounting piece 33 equipped with a pull ring 34. The sliding of the mounting piece 33 can drive the sliding rod 32 to slide, thereby adjusting the sealing state of the baffle 31 on the cover 20. The pull ring 34 is provided to facilitate the user to lift and manually adjust the overall lifting and lowering of the leak-proof component 30.
[0031] Furthermore, the top of the cover 20 is provided with an opening for the sliding rod 32 to slide. A sealing sleeve 201 is engaged in the opening, and the inner ring of the sealing sleeve 201 is in contact with the outer surface of the sliding rod 32. The sealing sleeve 201 seals the connection between the sliding rod 32 and the cover 20, further preventing the leakage of tea powder (or tea powder with added milk powder) stored in the cover 20.
[0032] Furthermore, the side of the mounting plate 33 away from the pull ring 34 abuts against a return spring 331. The return spring 331 is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 32, and the end of the return spring 331 away from the mounting plate 33 abuts against the sealing sleeve 201. The elastic force of the return spring 331 applies a pushing force to the mounting plate 33, so that without the action of external force, the elastic force of the return spring 331 can drive the entire leak-proof component 30 to reset itself. Then, the upper surface of the baffle 31 fits against the bottom of the cover 20, further preventing the leakage of tea powder stored in the cover 20. The upper surface of the baffle 31 is set as an annular slope. When the baffle 31 is no longer fitted against the cover 20, the tea powder stored in the cover 20 can slide off the baffle 31 into the container body 10.
[0033] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 An annular groove 311 is provided on the outer side of the baffle 31. A limiting ring 111 is fixed in the opening 11 corresponding to the limiting ring 111. The limiting ring 111 has a fan-shaped cross section and is adapted to the annular groove 311. When the baffle 31 and the cover 20 are in contact, the annular groove 311 can engage with the limiting ring 111 to keep the leak-proof component 30 firmly sealed to the cover 20. This reduces the problem of tea powder leaking from the gap between the baffle 31 and the cover 20 due to the bumpy road during transportation. Both the limiting ring 111 and the baffle 31 are made of plastic so that the leak-proof component 30 can be slid to adjust the engagement state of the annular groove 311 and the limiting ring 111.
[0034] Meanwhile, the lower side of the limiting ring 111 is provided with a sealing ring 112 that is snapped into the inner wall of the opening 11. When the baffle 31 is located inside the opening 11, the sealing ring 112 is in contact with the outer ring surface of the baffle 31. As long as the baffle 31 is located inside the opening 11, regardless of whether the baffle 31 is completely inside the opening 11, the outer ring surface of the baffle 31 can be in contact with the sealing ring 112. When there is tea powder in the lid 20, the contact between the liquid stored in the container body 10 and the outer ring surface of the baffle 31 can be reduced by the contact between the sealing ring 112 and the baffle 31, thereby reducing the liquid adhering to the outer ring surface of the baffle 31. This avoids the problem that when the baffle 31 is in the open state, the liquid in the lid 20 has too much contact with the outer ring surface of the baffle 31, and the liquid and tea powder adhere to each other, making it difficult for the tea powder to slide off the baffle 31.
[0035] When the tea powder in the lid 20 is discharged into the container body 10, and the leak-proof component 30 is reset under the elastic force of the return spring 331, the contact between the sealing ring 112 and the outer ring surface of the baffle 31 (if the elastic force of the return spring 331 is insufficient, the outer ring surface of the baffle 31 can be made to fit with the sealing ring 112 by pulling the pull ring 34 appropriately) prevents the milk tea mixture in the container body 10 from entering the lid 20, making it easier to clean the milk tea mixture attached to the baffle 31 and reuse the lid 20.
[0036] In another embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 An installation ring 21 is fixed to the outside of the cover 20. A sealing gasket is provided on the lower side of the installation ring 21. When the cover 20 and the opening 11 are in the installation state, the installation ring 21 can fit with the opening 11 through the sealing gasket to reduce the gas entering the container body 10 or the cover 20 and extend the shelf life.
[0037] The top of the lid 20 is provided with an outer cylinder 40, which wraps the partially leak-proof component 30 exposed on the outside of the lid 20. The top of the outer cylinder 40 is higher than the pull ring 34 to reduce the risk of accidental pressing of the leak-proof component 30 during use, which could cause the tea powder stored in the lid 20 to leak when it is not needed for brewing. At the same time, it is also convenient to use plastic packaging on the outer cylinder 40 before leaving the factory to prevent some customers from pressing the leak-proof component 30 when they no longer need to buy it, thus damaging the value of the product.
[0038] The materials of the aforementioned sealing ring 112, sealing sleeve 201 and sealing gasket include, but are not limited to, rubber (such as silicone).
[0039] Working principle: The tea powder (tea powder with milk powder) for freshly brewed tea is pre-stored in the lid 20. The leak-proof component 30 seals the lid 20 to prevent the tea powder from leaking out. When freshly brewing milk tea is needed, simply press the mounting plate 33 or pull ring 34. This will cause the baffle 31 to no longer adhere to the lid 20. When the baffle 31 is placed under the limiting ring 111 and inside the container body 10, the tea powder slides off the baffle 31 into the container body 10 and mixes with the water stored in the container body 10. This allows the tea powder, milk powder, and water to be brewed into milk tea on demand, eliminating the need to pre-make finished milk tea and add preservatives.
[0040] During the brewing process of milk tea, shaking can further promote mixing. When the lid 20 contains liquid milk and the container body 10 contains tea powder, the same operating method described above can be used to brew the milk tea. Furthermore, when the tea powder (or tea powder mixed with milk powder) in the lid 20 slides from the baffle 31 into the container body 10, the anti-leakage component 30 can be automatically reset by the elastic force of the return spring 331, preventing the baffle 31 from remaining inside the lid 20.
[0041] Based on the above, if the consumer needs to reuse the lid 20 after drinking the freshly brewed milk tea inside, the lid 20 can be refilled with tea powder or tea powder mixed with milk powder. After the lid 20 is filled, although the return spring 331 can drive the leak-proof component 30 to reset as a whole, in order to further reduce the leakage of materials inside the lid 20 that may be caused by shaking, the pull ring 34 can be further pulled up after the leak-proof component 30 is partially reset by the annular groove 311, so that the annular groove 311 and the limiting ring 111 are engaged, thereby maintaining the leak-proof component 30 in a stable state that seals the lid 20.
