Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of tea dispensing machine, which uses a teapot support and the like to isolate the weighing sensor from the tea outlet from multiple positions, thereby improving its accuracy.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution.

[0005] A novel tea brewing machine includes a tea barrel forming an assembly cavity, the assembly cavity having a mixing cavity for mixing tea bags and hot water, and a plurality of assembly parts forming between the mixing cavity and the assembly cavity;

[0006] A weighing sensor is provided on the assembly part located at the bottom of the mixing chamber near the tea outlet. The weighing sensor is supported by a teapot bracket, and the teapot bracket forms a retaining groove on the outer periphery of the tea outlet for the teacup to receive tea.

[0007] The baffle structure extends upward from the tea outlet and bends to form a protective cavity. The weighing sensor and a partial teapot support are located inside the protective cavity, and a heat dissipation structure is provided on the top of the protective cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, a gap is formed between the weighing sensor and the protective cavity, and a first obstruction trajectory is formed in the protective cavity near the tea outlet, located below the weighing sensor and pointing downwards, and a second obstruction trajectory is formed in the protective cavity on the side of the weighing sensor, pointing upwards.

[0009] Furthermore, the heat dissipation structure is located above the weighing sensor, and the heat dissipation structure forms several heat dissipation gaps.

[0010] Furthermore, the teapot support includes a support plate that fits against the bottom of the tea barrel, and the support plate extends upward and bends in part to form a support portion that extends into the protective cavity, and the weighing sensor is fixed on the support portion.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a heat insulation sheet located between the support and the weighing sensor, with the projection of the weighing sensor located on the heat insulation sheet.

[0012] Furthermore, the support plate is bent downward to form an extension, and an upwardly inclined bearing slope is formed on the extension. The snap-fit ​​groove is formed between the assembly on each extension and the support plate.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a barrier plate extending from the tea outlet toward the teapot support and overlapping with the teapot support, the barrier plate forming a barrier trajectory away from the weighing sensor.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a solenoid valve that controls the tea outlet to dispense tea. The bottom of the tea barrel is equipped with a lever that is linked to the solenoid valve. The lever is turned or reset to control the tea outlet to start or stop dispensing tea.

[0015] Furthermore, the lever includes an actuating end, a slot end for inserting the magnetic head of the solenoid valve, and a connecting section, the connecting section being in constant contact with the tea barrel near the actuating end.

[0016] Furthermore, a protective cover is provided at the bottom of the tea barrel, the magnetic head is located in the protective cavity formed by the protective cover, and the lever extends out of the protective cavity and exposes the actuating end.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] In this invention, the added teapot support and baffle structure enclose the weighing sensor, thus isolating it from the possible location of water vapor. The addition of a heat dissipation structure is to prevent the heat generated during long-term use from affecting the sensor.

[0019] In this invention, multiple water vapor blocking mechanisms are implemented, and the subsequent tilting of the teapot support ensures that after the teapot support bears the entire weight of the tea container, it can prevent other problems caused by load-bearing deformation.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Equivalent transformations or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] See attached document Figure 1-4 As shown, a novel tea brewing machine in this embodiment includes a tea barrel 1, which forms an assembly cavity. The assembly cavity is provided with a mixing cavity 2 for mixing tea bags and hot water. Several assembly parts 3 are formed between the mixing cavity 2 and the assembly cavity. The assembly parts 3 are equivalent to assembly gaps, and various structures or components can be set between the assembly cavity and the mixing cavity 2, including but not limited to sensors, circuit settings, and various supports, etc.

[0028] To weigh the contents of the mixing chamber 2 or the tea bag, a weighing sensor 5 is provided on the assembly part located at the bottom of the mixing chamber 2 near the tea outlet 4. The weighing sensor 5 is supported by a teapot bracket 6. The teapot bracket 6 forms a locking groove 7 for the teacup to receive tea on the outer periphery of the tea outlet 4. In this embodiment, since the weighing sensor 5 is suspended, the bottom is fixed by the teapot bracket 6 to complete the assembly. The locking groove 7 allows the teacup with a skirt to be locked in the locking groove 7 and thus complete the tea receiving action without having to hold the teacup.

[0029] Since other structures around the weighing sensor 5 could allow steam to enter, a baffle structure 8 is also provided. The baffle structure 8 extends upward from the tea outlet 4 and bends to form a protective cavity. At this time, the side and bottom of the weighing sensor 5 and the partial teapot support are placed inside the protective cavity, which protects the side and bottom of the weighing sensor. A heat dissipation structure 9 is provided at the top of the protective cavity. The heat generated by the weighing sensor 5 during long-term use will be dissipated through the heat dissipation structure 9 to avoid heat accumulation affecting the use of the sensor.

[0030] In this embodiment, a sensor bracket 18 can also be provided, and the sensor bracket 18 is placed inside the protective cavity formed by the baffle structure 8 to protect the sensor.

[0031] To avoid contact with the sensor, a gap is formed between the weighing sensor 5 and the protective cavity, which allows for heat dissipation. At this time, for the protective cavity, a first obstruction trajectory is formed below the weighing sensor 5 and downwards near the tea outlet 4, which achieves steam obstruction below. Then, a second obstruction trajectory is formed on the side of the weighing sensor 5 in the protective cavity, which achieves steam obstruction near the side of the tea outlet 4.

[0032] To make full use of the structure, the heat dissipation structure 9 is located above the weighing sensor 5, and the heat dissipation structure forms a number of heat dissipation gaps, which are in the form of a number of heat dissipation holes.

[0033] To facilitate the assembly of the teapot support, the teapot support 6 includes a support plate 61 that fits against the bottom of the tea canister 1. The support plate 61 is partially extended upwards and bent to form a support portion 62 that extends into the protective cavity. The load cell 5 is fixed to the support portion 62. The support portion is essentially L-shaped, with a vertical height setting to support the load cell 5 laterally.

[0034] To prevent the metal teapot support or the outer metal thermal conductivity from affecting the measurement accuracy of the weighing sensor, a heat insulation sheet 10 is further included between the support 62 and the weighing sensor 5. The projection of the weighing sensor 5 is located on the heat insulation sheet 10, and the heat insulation sheet 10 has a large cross-section.

[0035] In this embodiment, heat insulation sheets 10 can be provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the weighing sensor 5 for heat insulation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support plate 61 is bent downwards to form an extension, and an upwardly inclined load-bearing slope 63 is formed on the extension. A snap-fit ​​groove 7 is formed between the assembly on each extension and the support plate 61. Compared to a vertical arrangement, this embodiment uses a bend greater than 90°, resulting in a slightly upward-sloping teapot support. When tea or water is placed in the tea container, it forms a load, and the slope effectively prevents deformation.

[0037] In this embodiment, since the support plate 61 needs to avoid the tea outlet, it also includes a barrier plate 11 extending from the tea outlet towards the teapot support 6 and overlapping with the teapot support 6. The barrier plate 11 forms a barrier trajectory away from the weighing sensor. In this embodiment, the barrier plate 11 is L-shaped, with its highest point fixed to the bottom of the tea canister 1, and then a horizontal plate covering the weighing sensor 5, and then overlapping the teapot support 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, in order to control the tea outlet 4, a solenoid valve 12 is further included to control the tea outlet. The bottom of the tea barrel 1 is provided with a lever 13 that is linked to the solenoid valve 12. The lever 13 controls the tea outlet 4 to start or stop dispensing tea when it is turned or reset.

[0039] Specifically, the lever 13 includes a toggle end 14, a slot end 15 for inserting the magnetic head of the solenoid valve 12, and a connecting section 16. The connecting section 16, near the toggle end 14, is always in contact with the tea container 1. In this embodiment, the toggle end 14 extends out from the bottom of the tea container 1 for easy operation. When the toggle end 14 is subjected to force, the slot end 15 is pushed down, causing the solenoid valve to open. Then, when the toggle end is stopped, the solenoid valve closes, and tea dispensing stops.

[0040] In this embodiment, a protective cover 17 is provided at the bottom of the tea barrel 1, the magnetic head is located inside the protective cavity formed by the protective cover, and the lever 13 extends out of the protective cavity and exposes the actuating end. Thus, the tea dispensing is controlled by controlling the lever.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
