Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tea bar machine technology, specifically to a nestable tea bar machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional tea bar machines mainly consist of a cabinet at the bottom, with a bar counter on top (a work surface for filling and pouring water for containers such as kettles and cups). A vertical back panel is installed on the bar counter, with water spouts and other water dispensing components. In practical application, traditional tea bar machines have many inconveniences. Structurally, there are two main common types:

[0003] The first type of tea bar machine has a one-piece structure consisting of the cabinet, bar counter, and vertical back panel. While kettles and cups can be placed inside the cabinet during packaging and transportation, the integral structure is not disassembled, resulting in a large overall size and occupying significant packaging space. This limits the quantity that can be transported per vehicle, leading to high transportation costs. Furthermore, this one-piece structure makes it difficult to find suitable storage space when needed, taking up considerable room.

[0004] The second type of tea bar machine, while featuring a detachable vertical back panel that can be stored inside the cabinet along with the kettle and cups, saving some packaging space, still presents significant challenges in packaging, storage, and transportation due to its large size. For example, its bulk requires more packaging materials and complicates the packaging process; its size makes it difficult to place in corners or cabinets with limited space; and during transportation, the large space required limits the number of tea bar machines a single vehicle can carry, increasing transportation costs.

[0005] In addition, traditional tea bar machines are relatively simple in their functional design. Accessories such as kettles are simply placed inside the cabinet without a dedicated and reasonable storage structure. This makes them prone to damage during transportation due to unstable placement, increasing the cost of replacement parts.

[0006] Therefore, a new type of tea bar machine is needed to address the shortcomings of traditional tea bar machines in terms of storage, transportation, and functional expansion. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this application is to provide a nestable tea bar machine. Through the nestable storage structure design, the shortcomings of traditional tea bar machines in terms of storage, transportation and functional expansion are effectively solved, thereby improving the practicality and user experience of the tea bar machine.

[0008] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0009] A nestable tea bar machine includes an independent vertical back panel, a storage platform, and a main cabinet. The storage platform has at least one downward-opening kettle cavity for accommodating the kettle used with the tea bar machine. The main cabinet forms a storage space. The tea bar machine has an assembled state and a stored state. In the assembled state, the storage platform is detachably installed on the top of the main cabinet, and the vertical back panel is detachably installed on the storage platform. In the stored state, the kettle is positioned in the kettle cavity, and the storage platform and the vertical back panel are separated and collectively housed within the storage space of the main cabinet.

[0010] This technical solution designs the vertical back panel, storage platform, and main cabinet as independent components, with both assembled and stored states. In the assembled state, the components combine to form a complete and functional tea bar machine, meeting users' daily needs for water dispensing and boiling. When storage is required, the vertical back panel, storage platform, and main cabinet can be separated. The kettle is positioned within the kettle's housing cavity on the storage platform, and then the storage platform and vertical back panel are integrated into the main cabinet's storage space. This significantly reduces the overall size of the tea bar machine when not in use, solving the problems of large packaging space occupation and inconvenient transportation associated with traditional tea bar machines. It reduces packaging costs and transportation space requirements, increases the number of items that can be transported in a single trip, and makes it easier to find suitable storage space, improving the flexibility and economy of the tea bar machine in terms of space utilization. The kettle's housing cavity integrated into the storage platform ensures the kettle is securely stored, effectively preventing damage during transportation and improving product portability and storage efficiency.

[0011] The front of the main cabinet is provided with a main cabinet door that can open and close the storage space; in the storage state, the main cabinet is placed in a folded position with the main cabinet door facing upwards, the storage table is accommodated in the storage space in an inverted direction, and the upright back panel is placed horizontally above the storage table.

[0012] In this technical solution, the main cabinet is placed in a tilted position with the main cabinet door facing upwards when in storage. This method is convenient and facilitates the orderly placement of various components into the storage space. Users can easily open the main cabinet door, place the storage platform upside down into the storage space, and then place the upright back panel horizontally on top of the storage platform. The entire process is convenient and organized, optimizes the space layout, allows for compact stacking of components, maximizes the use of the main cabinet's internal space, reduces the size of external packaging, facilitates user access to items by opening and closing the cabinet door, enhances transportation stability, and reduces logistics costs. Furthermore, based on the downward-opening design of the water bottle compartment on the storage platform, after inserting the water bottle into the compartment from the bottom of the platform, tilting the platform upside down in the storage space effectively prevents the water bottle from shifting or falling out, improving the safety of water bottle storage.

[0013] When the storage platform is in the storage state, its width direction in the assembled state is parallel to the length direction of the main cabinet in the assembled state; when the vertical back panel is in the storage state, its height direction in the assembled state is parallel to the length direction of the main cabinet in the assembled state.

[0014] In this technical solution, the storage platform is organized according to a predetermined direction, which helps to make more rational use of the main cabinet's storage space during storage. This allows each component to be placed compactly and neatly, reducing redundant gaps and avoiding space waste or cluttered component placement. This further improves storage efficiency and space utilization, and reduces transportation volume.

[0015] The ratio of the width of the storage platform to the length of the main cabinet is set as P, where 0.7 ≤ P ≤ 0.95, and the width of the storage platform is greater than or equal to 280 mm.

[0016] In this technical solution, firstly, the lower limit of the ratio P ensures that the storage platform has sufficient width to accommodate the kettle cavity and other possible items, guaranteeing its stable placement of the kettle and preventing instability or inability to accommodate the kettle due to excessive width, thus ensuring the normal operation of the kettle storage function. Secondly, the upper limit of the ratio P allows for sufficient thickness design space on both ends of the main cabinet's side walls along its length, ensuring that the internal space after designing the side walls is sufficient to accommodate the storage platform and the vertical back panel. Simultaneously, the specified ratio range ensures that the width of the storage platform matches the length of the main cabinet. During storage, the platform will not be too wide to fit smoothly into the main cabinet's storage space, causing storage difficulties; nor will it be too narrow to result in insufficient utilization of storage space and unnecessary idle space.

[0017] The storage space is provided with a limiting structure, which includes protrusions respectively located on the inner side of the top wall and the inner side of the bottom wall of the main cabinet; in the storage state, the storage platform is clamped between the protrusions on the inner side of the top wall and the protrusions on the inner side of the bottom wall of the main cabinet.

[0018] In this technical solution, when the storage table is in the storage state, by clamping it between the protrusions on the inner side of the top wall and the inner side of the bottom wall of the main cabinet, the position of the storage table can be effectively fixed, preventing it from shaking or shifting during transportation, avoiding potential collision damage caused by component instability, and improving the stability and safety of the tea bar machine in the storage state.

[0019] The storage space is equipped with a limiting structure, which includes a protrusion on the inner side of the top wall of the main cabinet. The protrusion has a storage cavity with the opening facing the main cabinet door. In the storage state, the storage platform is clamped between the protrusion on the inner side of the top wall of the main cabinet and the bottom wall of the main cabinet.

[0020] In this technical solution, when stored, on the one hand, the storage platform is clamped between the protrusion on the inner side of the top wall of the main cabinet and the bottom wall of the main cabinet, ensuring stability during transportation and storage and preventing it from shaking or shifting; on the other hand, the storage cavity of the protrusion provides an additional small storage space, which users can use to store small items such as tea bags and small spoons. These items are often frequently used during tea brewing but are easy to lose or difficult to store.

[0021] The storage platform is also equipped with a storage compartment located on the front side of the storage platform, and the kettle cavity located on the rear side of the storage platform. The front side of the storage platform is equipped with a storage compartment door that can be opened and closed.

[0022] In this technical solution, a storage compartment is added to the front of the storage table, and an openable and closable storage compartment door is provided. This makes it convenient to store commonly used items such as tea leaves and teacups when the tea bar machine is in normal use (i.e., in the assembled state), which expands the storage function of the tea bar machine. Users can more conveniently access relevant items during use, improving the convenience and practicality of use.

[0023] The storage compartment and the kettle cavity are separated by a partition; or the storage compartment and the kettle cavity are interconnected to form a continuous cavity.

[0024] In this technical solution, if the storage compartments and the kettle compartment are separated by partitions, they form two relatively independent areas. This separation makes the classification of items clearer and more precise, better preventing items from getting mixed up, protecting fragile items, and making the overall layout of the storage unit look more organized and tidy. This allows users to quickly find the items they need based on their category, improving usability and the rationality of storage. When the storage compartments and the kettle compartment are connected to form a continuous cavity, users have greater flexibility in placing items. For example, when users have some large items that are not suitable for separate storage, they can use this continuous cavity to place them as a whole, without being limited by fixed partitions. They can freely adjust the placement method according to the shape and size of the items, making full use of space and meeting users' personalized needs for item storage in different usage scenarios, thus improving the versatility and practicality of the tea bar machine's storage function.

[0025] The kettle housing includes a kettle body chamber and a handle chamber that are interconnected. The outline of the kettle body chamber is adapted to the kettle body. The handle chamber is a channel formed by a recess in the side wall of the kettle body chamber. In the stored state, the kettle body is positioned in the kettle body chamber, and the kettle handle is nested in the handle chamber.

[0026] In this technical solution, when stored, the kettle body can be precisely positioned within the kettle body cavity. Because the cavity contour matches the kettle body, the kettle body will not wobble significantly within the cavity, ensuring stability. Simultaneously, the kettle handle can be nested within the handle cavity. This handle cavity, acting as a channel formed by a recess in the side wall of the kettle body cavity, not only provides suitable space for the handle but also further restricts the kettle's horizontal movement, ensuring the kettle is firmly fixed throughout the storage process.

[0027] The storage platform has two parallel kettle-containing cavities; the kettle body chambers of the two kettle-containing cavities are interconnected to form a continuous chamber, and the handle chambers of the two kettle-containing cavities are independently located at both ends of the continuous chamber.

[0028] This technical solution features two parallel kettle-accommodating chambers, with the kettle body chambers interconnected and the handle chambers independent of each other. This design allows for the simultaneous storage of two kettles, increasing the total number of kettles the tea bar machine can hold and meeting the needs of different scenarios. Furthermore, this interconnected design ensures both the convenience and stability of kettle placement while rationally planning the spatial layout, making the overall structure compact and efficient despite its multifunctionality. Independent handle chambers prevent handle interference. Attached Figure Description

[0054] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 1 to 14 As shown, a nestable tea bar machine is provided. For ease of explanation and understanding, the following content provided in this application is based on the illustrated product structure. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the above structure is only a specific example and illustrative illustration, and does not constitute a specific limitation on the technical solution provided in this application.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the nestable tea bar machine includes an independent vertical back panel 1, a storage platform 2, and a main cabinet 3. The storage platform 2 has at least one downward-opening kettle cavity 21 for accommodating the kettle 4 that comes with the tea bar machine. The main cabinet 3 forms a storage space inside. The tea bar machine has an assembled state and a stored state. In the assembled state, the storage platform 2 is detachably installed on the top of the main cabinet 3, and the vertical back panel 1 is detachably installed on the storage platform 2. In the stored state, the kettle 4 is positioned inside the kettle cavity 21, and the storage platform 2 and the vertical back panel 1 are separated and housed together in the storage space of the main cabinet 3. Figure 1 The image shows the structure of the vertical back panel 1, storage table 2, and main cabinet 3 in their assembled state. Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the vertical back panel 1, storage table 2, and main cabinet 3 in a separated state. Figure 5 The image shows the structure with the kettle 4 stored in the storage table 2 and the storage table 2 stored in the main cabinet 3. Figure 8 The image shows the structure of the kettle 4 and the storage table 2 stored in the main cabinet 3. Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The diagram shows the structure of the kettle 4, the vertical back panel 1, and the storage table 2 stored in the main cabinet 3 (the vertical back panel 1 is located above the storage table 2, obstructing the view of the kettle 4 and the storage table 2).

[0056] In this application, the vertical back panel 1, storage table 2, and main cabinet 3 are designed as independent components, with both assembled and stored states. In the assembled state, the components can be combined to form a complete and functional tea bar machine, meeting the user's daily needs for water dispensing and boiling. When storage is required (e.g., for bulk transportation of the tea bar machine, when the user is moving, or when it will not be used for a long time), the vertical back panel 1, storage table 2, and main cabinet 3 can be separated. The kettle 4 is then positioned in the kettle receiving cavity 21 inside the storage table 2, and the storage table 2 and vertical back panel 1 are then integrated into the storage space of the main cabinet 3. This significantly reduces the overall volume of the tea bar machine in the non-use state, solving the problems of large packaging space occupation and inconvenient transportation of traditional tea bar machines. It reduces packaging costs and transportation space occupation, reducing packaging space by at least 30%, thereby increasing the quantity that can be transported in a single transport vehicle by more than 30%. At the same time, it is easier to find suitable storage space when storing, improving the flexibility and economy of the tea bar machine in terms of space utilization. The water bottle cavity 21 is integrated into the storage platform 2 to ensure that the water bottle 4 is stored in a fixed position, effectively avoiding damage during transportation and improving the product's portability and storage efficiency.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the front of the main cabinet 3 is provided with a main cabinet door 31 that can be opened and closed for storage (for example, the main cabinet door 31 can be opened and closed by hinges); in the storage state, the main cabinet 3 is placed in a folded position (e.g., Figure 7 As shown in the diagram, the main cabinet door 31 is placed facing upwards, with the storage platform 2 inverted and housed within the storage space. The vertical back panel 1 is placed horizontally above the storage platform 2. This method is convenient for operation, facilitating the orderly placement of components into the storage space. Users can easily open the main cabinet door 31, place the storage platform 2 inverted into the storage space, and then place the vertical back panel 1 horizontally above the storage platform 2. The entire process is convenient, organized, and optimizes the spatial layout, allowing components to be stacked compactly, maximizing the use of the internal space of the main cabinet 3, reducing the size of external packaging, facilitating users to open and close the cabinet door to access items, enhancing transportation stability, and reducing logistics costs. Furthermore, since the vertical back panel 1 typically requires protruding structures such as touch panels and water outlets, the outer contour of the vertical back panel 1 structural components is generally an irregular structure, while the storage platform 2 is usually a more regular cubic structure. Therefore, placing the vertical back panel 1 horizontally above the storage platform 2 reduces pressure and impact on the vertical back panel 1, lowering the risk of damage. Meanwhile, based on the downward-opening design of the kettle-receiving cavity 21 of the storage platform 2, after the kettle 4 is inserted into the kettle-receiving cavity 21 from the bottom of the storage platform 2, inverting the storage platform 2 (with the opening of the kettle-receiving cavity 21 facing upwards) in the storage space can effectively prevent the kettle 4 from shifting or falling off, improving the storage safety of the kettle 4. The presence of the main cabinet door 31 serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents external dust and debris from entering the storage space during storage, providing a certain degree of protection for the stored components and preventing them from being contaminated or damaged; secondly, it prevents the stored components from accidentally falling out due to shaking during transportation, ensuring the integrity and safety of all components of the tea bar machine during storage and transportation, further enhancing the practicality and reliability of this nestable storage tea bar machine in storage-related aspects.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, when the storage table 2 is in the storage state, its width direction in the assembled state is parallel to the length direction of the main cabinet 3 in the assembled state; when the vertical back panel 1 is in the storage state, its height direction in the assembled state is parallel to the length direction of the main cabinet 3 in the assembled state. Figure 1The diagram shows the length, width, and height directions of the tea bar machine in its assembled state, represented by the bidirectional arrows X, Y, and Z, respectively. Those skilled in the art will understand that when the tea bar machine is in its assembled state, the storage table 2 and the main cabinet 3 are essentially of equal length and width, with the height of the main cabinet 3 being greater than the height of the storage table 2. Therefore, in the stored state, making the width direction of the storage table 2 parallel to the length direction of the main cabinet 3 in its assembled state will make the length direction of the storage table 2 parallel to the height direction of the main cabinet 3 in its assembled state. Furthermore, since the vertical back panel 1 is placed horizontally above the storage table 2, making the height direction of the vertical back panel 1 parallel to the length direction of the main cabinet 3 in its assembled state will make the length direction of the vertical back panel 1 parallel to the height direction of the main cabinet 3 in its assembled state. Therefore, based on the general design principle that the cabinet length is greater than the width and the height is greater than the length, arranging the storage platform 2 and the vertical back panel 1 in this predetermined direction helps to make more rational use of the storage space of the main cabinet 3 during storage. This allows each component to be placed compactly and neatly, reducing redundant gaps and avoiding space waste or cluttered component placement. This further improves storage efficiency and space utilization, and reduces transportation volume. If the component placement direction is disordered, problems such as unusable corner space or components squeezing each other may occur, preventing the main cabinet door 31 from being fully closed. The parallel relationship specified in this application ensures the rationality and efficiency of the storage process, improves the overall storage efficiency and space utilization of the tea bar machine, and further optimizes its storage performance.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the ratio of the width of the storage platform 2 to the length of the main cabinet 3 is set as P, where 0.7 ≤ P ≤ 0.95. The width of the storage platform 2 is greater than or equal to 280 mm. That is, the ratio of the width of the storage platform 2 in the Y direction to the length of the main cabinet 3 in the X direction is set as P, and the width of the storage platform 2 in the Y direction is greater than or equal to 280 mm. First, the lower limit of the ratio P ensures that the storage platform 2 has sufficient width to support the kettle cavity 21 and place other possible items, ensuring that it can stably accommodate the matching kettle 4 and avoiding the situation where the kettle 4 is unstable or cannot be accommodated due to excessive width, thus ensuring the normal realization of the kettle 4 storage function. The upper limit of the ratio P is set to reserve sufficient thickness design range for the two end side walls of the main cabinet 3 in the length direction, so that the internal space of the main cabinet 3 after designing the two end side walls is sufficient to accommodate the storage platform 2 and the vertical back panel 1. Meanwhile, the specified ratio range ensures that the width of the storage platform 2 matches the length of the main cabinet 3. During storage, the platform will not be too wide to fit smoothly into the main cabinet 3, causing storage difficulties; nor will it be too narrow to result in insufficient space utilization and unnecessary waste. This precise dimensional control makes the various components of the tea bar machine more harmonious in size matching, ensuring the optimal functioning of each part during storage and use. It optimizes the structural layout of the tea bar machine, enhancing its practicality and adaptability in different scenarios (such as packaging, transportation, storage, and daily use), and ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the product.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting structure is provided within the storage space to limit the storage platform 2, which is stored in the storage space in a preset direction, thus ensuring storage safety. The limiting structure can be any of the following examples:

[0061] Example 1: such as Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the limiting structure includes protrusions 32 respectively located on the inner sides of the top and bottom walls of the main cabinet 3. In the folded state, the storage platform 2 is held between the protrusions 32 on the inner sides of the top and bottom walls of the main cabinet 3. The figure shows an embodiment where a protrusion 32 is located at each of the four corners of the rectangular storage space. Those skilled in the art will understand that the movement of transport vehicles inevitably causes bumps and swaying. Without a limiting structure, the storage platform 2 may move and collide freely within the main cabinet 3, potentially damaging itself and causing wear, scratches, and other damage to the vertical back panel 1 or the interior of the main cabinet 3, affecting the overall appearance and lifespan of the tea bar machine. Therefore, in the stored state, by clamping the storage platform 2 between the protrusions 32 on the inner side of the top wall and the inner side of the bottom wall of the main cabinet 3, the position of the storage platform 2 can be effectively fixed, preventing it from shaking or shifting during transportation, and avoiding potential damage from collisions caused by component instability. This improves the stability and safety of the tea bar machine in the stored state. Simultaneously, during daily storage, the limiting structure ensures that the storage platform 2 is accurately placed in the designated position each time, facilitating subsequent operations. For example, when taking it out for use again, the storage platform 2 can be quickly and accurately located and retrieved, improving ease of use and the standardization of the entire storage process. This further enhances the stability and ease of use of the nestable storage tea bar machine in terms of storage and transportation.

[0062] Example 2: such as Figure 11 As shown, the limiting structure includes a protrusion 32 located on the inner side of the top wall of the main cabinet 3. The protrusion 32 has a storage cavity, the opening of which faces the main cabinet door 31. In the folded state, the storage platform 2 is clamped between the protrusion 32 on the inner side of the top wall of the main cabinet 3 and the bottom wall of the main cabinet 3. In this example, the protrusion 32 is only located at one end of the storage space (for example, the protrusion 32 is located at the upper end of the storage space along the height direction). In the folded state, on the one hand, the storage platform 2 is clamped between the protrusion 32 on the inner side of the top wall of the main cabinet 3 and the bottom wall of the main cabinet 3, ensuring stability during transportation and storage and preventing it from shaking or shifting; on the other hand, the storage cavity of the protrusion 32 provides an additional small storage space, which users can use to store small items such as tea bags and small spoons. These items are often frequently used during tea brewing but are easily lost or difficult to store. Furthermore, by utilizing the storage cavity, storage functionality is added without increasing the overall size of the tea bar machine, improving the overall space utilization efficiency. This allows users to more easily access the small items they need while using the tea bar machine, further optimizing the user experience and making the tea bar machine more functional and practical. Specifically, the storage cavity can... Figure 12 The open-type hanging basket structure shown can also provide Figure 13 The structure shown contains drawer 33.

[0063] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the storage table 2 also includes a storage compartment 22 located at the front of the storage table 2, while the kettle cavity 21 is located at the rear of the storage table 2. The front of the storage table 2 has a storage compartment door 23 that can be opened and closed (for example, the storage compartment door 23 can be opened and closed by hinges). Those skilled in the art will understand that users often need to store items related to tea brewing, such as tea leaves, teacups, and tea pets. However, traditional tea bar machines lack a dedicated and suitable storage area, resulting in these items being cluttered and inconvenient to access. In this embodiment, the storage table 2 is equipped with a storage compartment 22 located at the front, and a closable storage compartment door 23 is provided. This facilitates the storage of frequently used items such as tea leaves and teacups when the tea bar machine is in normal use (i.e., in its assembled state), expanding the storage function of the tea bar machine. Users can more easily access these items during use, improving convenience and practicality. Meanwhile, the storage compartment 22 is set in front of the storage table 2, which is reasonably divided in space from the kettle cavity 21 located at the rear. This does not affect the storage and use of the kettle 4, and makes full use of the space of the storage table 2, further expanding the storage function of the tea bar machine. This allows the entire tea bar machine to better serve users' tea brewing and other related activities while meeting basic drinking water functions.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the storage compartment 22 and the kettle compartment 21 are separated by a partition 24, forming two relatively independent areas. This separation makes the classification of items clearer and more specific. For example, items that are easily affected by moisture, such as tea, can be placed in the storage compartment 22, while the kettle 4 is placed in its dedicated compartment. The two do not interfere with each other, avoiding potential mutual influence when placed together. This better prevents items from getting mixed up, protects fragile items, and also makes the layout of the entire storage unit 2 look more organized and orderly. It makes it easier for users to quickly find the items they need according to the category of items, improving the convenience of use and the rationality of storage.

[0065] In another preferred embodiment, such as Figure 14 As shown, the storage compartment 22 and the kettle-containing cavity 21 are interconnected to form a continuous cavity, giving users greater flexibility when placing items. For example, when users have some large items that are not suitable for separate storage (such as a tea set), they can use this continuous cavity to place them as a whole, without being limited to fixed partitions. They can freely adjust the placement method according to the shape and size of the actual items, making full use of the space and meeting users' personalized needs for item storage in different usage scenarios, thus improving the versatility and practicality of the tea bar machine's storage function.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the kettle housing cavity 21 includes a kettle body cavity 211 and a handle cavity 212 that are interconnected. The outline of the kettle body cavity 211 is adapted to fit the kettle body 41 of the kettle 4. The handle cavity 212 is a channel formed by a recess in the side wall of the kettle body cavity 211. In the stored state, the kettle body 41 of the kettle 4 is positioned inside the kettle body cavity 211, and the handle 42 of the kettle 4 is nested inside the handle cavity 212. Through this design, in the stored state, the kettle body 41 of the kettle 4 can be accurately positioned inside the kettle body cavity 211. Because the outline of the cavity is adapted to the kettle body 41, the kettle body 41 will not wobble significantly inside the cavity, ensuring the stability of the placement. Meanwhile, the handle 42 of the kettle 4 can be nested within the handle chamber 212. The handle chamber 212, acting as a channel formed by a recess in the side wall of the kettle body chamber 211, not only provides suitable placement space for the handle 42 but also further restricts the horizontal movement of the kettle 4, ensuring that the kettle 4 is firmly fixed throughout the storage process. This design of the kettle 4 effectively prevents damage caused by shaking or collisions during transportation or storage, extending the kettle 4's lifespan. It also makes the placement of items within the storage space more organized and efficient, improving the utilization of the storage space and ensuring the reliability and practicality of the tea bar machine in storing the kettle 4.

[0067] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the storage platform 2 has two parallel kettle-holding chambers 21; the kettle body chambers 211 of the two kettle-holding chambers 21 are interconnected to form a continuous chamber, and the handle chambers 212 of the two kettle-holding chambers 21 are independently set at both ends of the continuous chamber. On the one hand, it can accommodate two kettles 4 at the same time, increasing the number of kettles 4 that the tea bar machine can hold, meeting the needs of different scenarios. For example, from the perspective of meeting the needs of multiple users, in scenarios such as families and offices where multiple people share the tea bar machine, the two kettle-holding chambers 21 can hold two kettles 4 at the same time, making it convenient for different users to prepare their own kettles 4 according to their preferences (such as drinking different types of tea), without the need to frequently replace the kettles 4, improving the convenience and efficiency of use, and better adapting to the actual situation of multiple users. On the other hand, the interconnected arrangement of the two kettle body chambers 211 not only ensures the convenience and stability of placing the kettles 4, but also rationally plans the spatial layout, making the overall structure compact and reasonable while possessing multiple functions. The independent handle chambers 212 prevent the handles 42 from interfering. The handle chambers 212, which are independently set at both ends, can still accurately nest and fix the handles 42 of the kettles 4, ensuring that each kettle 4 can be placed stably in the storage state, avoiding mutual interference and shaking. This further improves the stability and reliability of the kettles 4 during the entire storage process, optimizes the layout of the storage space, and enhances the overall practicality and functionality of the tea bar machine, meeting the diverse needs of different users for the storage of kettles 4 in different usage scenarios.

[0068] When assembling the tea bar machine, place the main cabinet 3 in the designated usage position, ensuring it is stable. Then, remove the kettle 4 from the kettle receiving cavity 21 of the storage table 2. Next, align the storage table 2 with the installation position on the top of the main cabinet 3, and detachably install the storage table 2 on the top of the main cabinet 3 using appropriate connection methods (such as clips, screws, etc., which can be determined according to the actual design). Then, install the vertical back panel 1 on the corresponding position on the back of the storage table 2, and fix it using the same detachable connection method. At this point, the tea bar machine is assembled and ready for normal use. Users can operate the relevant buttons on the vertical back panel 1 to fill water and perform other operations.

[0069] When the tea bar machine needs to be stored, first turn off the power. Then, open the main cabinet door 31 of the main cabinet 3 and lay the main cabinet 3 down so that the main cabinet door 31 faces upward. Next, remove the vertical back panel 1 from the back of the storage table 2 and remove the storage table 2 from the top of the main cabinet 3. After emptying the water from the kettle 4, place the kettle 4 into the kettle receiving cavity 21 of the storage table 2, ensuring that the kettle body 41 is embedded in the kettle body cavity 211 and the handle 42 is nested in the handle cavity 212. Carefully place the storage table 2 in the storage space of the main cabinet 3 in an inverted direction, ensuring that it is accurately fixed by the limiting structure. Then, remove the vertical back panel 1 from the back of the storage table 2 and place it horizontally on top of the storage table 2, so that the storage table 2 and the vertical back panel 1 are both contained in the storage space of the main cabinet 3. Finally, close the main cabinet door 31 to complete the storage operation.
