Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea brewing technology, specifically a lazy person's tea brewing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life and the popularization of tea culture, consumers have placed higher demands on the convenience, functionality, and economy of teaware. Traditional teaware has many pain points in use: First, conventional tea brewing vessels require manual control of the water flow. For example, Yixing teapots and gaiwans require tilting the pot or lifting the lid, which requires a high degree of skill in terms of angle and force. Novices are prone to causing tea to overflow or tea leaves to spill due to improper operation. Second, the tea-water separation effect depends on physical structure. For example, although the infuser cup achieves initial separation, it requires control by a press-type spring valve. Long-term use can easily lead to mechanical fatigue and seal failure. Third, cleaning and maintenance are complicated. The filters, water outlets, and other components of traditional teaware are mostly fixed designs. Residual tea stains can easily breed bacteria, and if high-cost materials such as neodymium iron boron are used for magnetic components, it will significantly increase the product price.

[0003] In existing technologies, magnetic switches have seen preliminary applications in the teaware industry. For example, the magnetic tea-water separation cup disclosed in patent CN202420094452.X controls water flow through the cooperation of a magnetic attractor and a spherical plug within a sliding groove. However, its magnetic control component is a fully magnetic structure, and the separation component needs to be fixed with a retaining ring, limiting the ease of disassembly and assembly. Furthermore, some commercially available products use solenoid valves to control water flow, which, while improving automation, faces problems such as circuit aging and higher energy consumption, and the cost is 30%-50% higher than mechanical structures. Regarding detachable designs, the detachable tea-water separation cup showcased on the Douyin platform allows for quick filter removal, but water flow control still relies on a traditional silicone valve, failing to resolve the compatibility issue between magnetic and mechanical control.

[0004] In terms of the application of low-cost magnetic materials, there are already mature cases in the daily necessities sector, such as magnets for heater motors and electromagnetic coils for power plugs. However, the teaware industry has yet to develop a standardized solution. Existing magnetically controlled teaware mostly uses permanent magnets, which, while ensuring reliability, results in the cost of a single magnetic control component accounting for 15%-20% of the total product cost, limiting its widespread adoption in the mass market. Furthermore, traditional magnetic control structures have the following drawbacks: magnetic force weakens over time, requiring periodic magnet replacement; non-professional users find it difficult to determine magnet polarity, leading to installation errors; and a single-material design cannot simultaneously meet cost and aesthetic requirements.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a tea maker solution that combines ease of operation, low maintenance cost, and high reliability. Through innovative design, a magnetic switch is combined with a detachable structure, using a differentiated material combination (magnet + non-magnet). While ensuring functional stability, the cost of the magnetic control component is reduced by more than 40%, and the switch key can be independently disassembled and adapted to multiple scenarios. This effectively solves the problems of complex operation, high cost, and difficult cleaning in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient tea maker that solves the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lazy tea maker, comprising:

[0008] The upper part of the cup is used to hold tea leaves and brew tea, and there is a water outlet at the bottom.

[0009] The lower part of the cup is used to hold tea, and a coaster is provided at the bottom of the lower part of the cup;

[0010] A magnetic water-stopping component is installed in the water outlet hole at the bottom of the upper cup body, including a water-stopping block embedded with a magnet, which seals the water outlet hole under the action of magnetic attraction.

[0011] The switch key is composed of a magnetic part and a non-magnetic part. The magnetic part can generate an interaction force with the magnet in the water-stop block. By flicking or inserting, the displacement of the water-stop block can be controlled, thereby adjusting the opening and closing state of the water outlet.

[0012] The switch key can be independently inserted and removed and has two operating modes: vertical insertion mode and non-magnetic insertion mode. The two modes achieve differentiated function control through different insertion directions or material contact surfaces.

[0013] Preferably, it also includes a support arm, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the coaster, and the top end of which is provided with a mounting bracket for holding the upper cup body, and the bottom of the mounting bracket is provided with an opening communicating with the water outlet.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the upper cup body is composed of a stainless steel filter screen, an upper threaded sleeve, a lower threaded sleeve, and a food-grade rubber ring. The stainless steel filter screen is embedded in the upper threaded sleeve, and the upper threaded sleeve is fastened to the bottom of the upper cup body by the food-grade rubber ring to form a closed water outlet system, wherein the water outlet is provided on the lower threaded sleeve.

[0015] Preferably, in the magnetic water-stopping assembly, the water-stopping block is made of food-grade silicone material, and its bottom is provided with a raised sealing surface that matches the shape of the water outlet. The magnet is embedded in the center of the water-stopping block to ensure that the magnetic attraction force is evenly distributed.

[0016] Preferably, the magnet of the magnetic water-stopping component is a neodymium iron boron magnet with a nickel-plated surface and a magnetic flux range of 800-1200 gauss, ensuring stable magnetic attraction in both room temperature and 80°C hot water environments.

[0017] Preferably, the magnetic part of the switch key is made of ferrite magnetic material, and the non-magnetic part is made of ABS plastic or ceramic material. The two are fixed by ultrasonic welding or threaded connection to form a separable combination structure.

[0018] Preferably, the surface of the non-magnetic part is provided with anti-slip texture, and different colors or patterns can be customized to meet personalized needs.

[0019] This utility model provides a convenient tea maker. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This utility model achieves a highly simplified tea-brewing process through the innovative combination of a magnetic control structure and ergonomic design. Traditional teaware requires tilting the pot or pressing the valve to control water flow, while this product uses a magnetic water-stopping component, allowing users to operate the switch key with just one hand to turn the tea on and off. Specifically, when the switch key is inserted vertically, its magnetic part repels the magnet inside the water-stopping block, pushing the water-stopping block downwards and causing the raised sealing surface to disengage from the water outlet. The tea then flows naturally into the lower cup body under gravity. This process requires no complex mechanical operation and can be easily mastered by the elderly and children.

[0021] 2. This utility model optimizes costs while ensuring functional reliability through differentiated material combinations and modular design. The switch key adopts a split structure of magnet and non-magnetic parts. The magnet part uses low-cost ferrite magnetic material, while the non-magnetic part uses injection-molded ABS plastic, reducing the overall cost of a single control component to 38% of the traditional all-magnetic structure.

[0022] 3. The modular design of this utility model allows for independent replacement of the upper cup body, lower cup body, and switch key. Users can choose ceramic, glass, or stainless steel cup bodies according to their needs, and combine them with different colored switch keys to form more than 36 possible combinations. This design not only reduces mold costs on the production side (a single mold can be adapted to the production of multiple materials), but also enhances the product's premium value through personalized customization.

Detailed Implementation

[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] Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] A preferred embodiment of the lazy tea maker provided by this utility model is, for example... Figure 1-3 As shown: Lazy person's tea maker, including:

[0030] The upper cup body 1 is used to hold tea leaves and brew tea, and its bottom is provided with a water outlet 11;

[0031] The lower cup body 2 is used to hold tea, and a coaster 21 is provided at the bottom of the lower cup body 2;

[0032] The magnetic water-stopping component 3 is installed in the water outlet 11 at the bottom of the upper cup body 1, including a water-stopping block 32 embedded with a magnet. The water-stopping block 32 seals the water outlet 11 under the action of magnetic attraction.

[0033] The switch key 4 is composed of a magnetic part 41 and a non-magnetic part 42. The magnetic part 41 can generate an interaction force with the magnet in the water-stop block 32. By flicking or inserting, the displacement of the water-stop block 32 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the opening and closing state of the water outlet 11.

[0034] Among them, the switch key 4 can be independently inserted and removed and has two operating modes: vertical insertion mode and non-magnetic insertion mode. The two modes achieve different function control through different insertion directions or material contact surfaces.

[0035] It also includes a support arm 5, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the coaster 21. The top of the support arm is provided with a mounting tray for holding the upper cup 1, and the bottom of the mounting tray is provided with an opening communicating with the water outlet 11. The support arm 5 is provided with a key slot for installing the switch key 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bottom of the upper cup body 1 is composed of a stainless steel filter screen 12, an upper threaded sleeve 13, a lower threaded sleeve 14, and a food-grade rubber ring 15. The stainless steel filter screen 12 is embedded in the upper threaded sleeve 13, and the upper threaded sleeve 13 secures the lower threaded sleeve 14 to the bottom of the upper cup body 1 through the food-grade rubber ring 15, forming a closed water outlet system. The water outlet hole 11 is provided on the lower threaded sleeve 14.

[0037] In this embodiment, in the magnetic water-stopping component 3, the water-stopping block 32 is made of food-grade silicone material, and its bottom is provided with a raised sealing surface 321 that matches the shape of the water outlet 11. The magnet is embedded in the center of the water-stopping block 32 to ensure that the magnetic attraction force is evenly distributed.

[0038] In this embodiment, the magnet of the magnetic water-stopping component 3 is a neodymium iron boron magnet with a nickel-plated surface and a magnetic flux range of 800-1200 Gauss, ensuring stable magnetic attraction in both room temperature and 80°C hot water environments.

[0039] When the switch key 4 is in the vertical insertion mode, the magnet part 41 and the magnet 31 of the water stop block 32 are opposite to each other with the same pole, generating a repulsive force to push the water stop block 32 downward, so that the raised sealing surface 321 is separated from the water outlet 11, and the tea water can flow.

[0040] When the switch key 4 is switched to the non-magnetic insertion mode, the non-magnetic part 42 physically moves the edge of the water-stop block 32 to overcome the magnetic attraction and make the water-stop block 32 move to the side, thus opening the water outlet 11.

[0041] In this embodiment, the magnet part 41 of the switch key 4 is made of ferrite magnetic material, and the non-magnetic part 42 is made of ABS plastic or ceramic material. The two are fixed by ultrasonic welding or threaded connection to form a separable combination structure.

[0042] The non-magnetic part 42 has an anti-slip texture on its surface, and different colors or patterns can be customized to meet individual needs;

[0043] In this embodiment, the product adopts a modular design. The upper cup body 1, the lower cup body 2, and the switch key 4 can all be disassembled and cleaned independently. The contact surfaces of each component are rounded to avoid cleaning dead corners.

[0044] In this embodiment, the combination of the magnet part 41 and the non-magnet part 42 reduces the cost of a single magnetic control component to less than 40% of that of a traditional all-magnet structure. At the same time, by changing the material and color of the non-magnet part 42, product serialization design can be achieved, thereby enhancing market competitiveness.

[0045] In terms of sealing performance, the water-stop block 32 features a double-layer sealing design, and tests have shown that it maintains zero leakage even under 1.5kPa water pressure, far exceeding the 0.8kPa sealing standard of traditional teaware. In addition, the ABS plastic surface of the non-magnetic part 42 has anti-slip textures, allowing for stable operation even with wet hands, further enhancing safety during use.

[0046] When using,

[0047] Tea brewing stage: After placing the tea leaves in the upper cup body 1 and pouring in hot water, the water-stopping block 32 of the magnetic water-stopping component 3 tightly adheres to the water outlet 11 under the attraction of the magnet, and the food-grade silicone raised sealing surface 321 forms a seal to ensure that the tea water is completely retained in the upper cup body 1 for soaking.

[0048] Vertical insertion mode water dispensing: Insert the magnetic part 41 of the switch key 4 vertically into the key slot. The magnetic part 41 and the magnet in the water stop block 32 are opposite each other with the same pole, generating a repulsive force of 0.3N to push the water stop block 32 downward. The raised sealing surface 321 is separated from the water outlet 11, and the tea flows into the lower cup body 2 through the gap under the action of gravity.

[0049] Non-magnetic insertion mode water dispensing: Insert the non-magnetic part 42 of the switch key 4 into the key slot. By physically moving the edge of the water-stop block 32, the magnetic attraction is overcome, causing the water-stop block 32 to move laterally, and the water outlet 11 opens. This mode is suitable for scenarios where the magnet's magnetism weakens or rapid drainage is required. The operating force is only 0.15N, significantly lower than the 0.5N operating force required by traditional valve body switches.
