When the tabletop latch 11 is pressed, the elastic force of the elastic element 12 is overcome, causing the tabletop latch 11 to move inward, and the tabletop latch 11 disengages from the locking slot 8, thus unlocking the flip cover body 6.
[0025] By setting the flip cover component 5, which includes the flip cover body 6 and the unlocking component 7, the flip cover body 6 can be conveniently locked and unlocked. The flip cover body 6 can be opened and closed with a simple press operation, which is convenient and improves the user experience. The locking structure also enhances the stability of the flip cover body 6 when it is closed.
[0026] The tabletop buckle 11 is provided with a button part 13 that matches the elastic element 12 and a locking part 14 that engages with the locking slot 8. The flip cover body 6 moves the tabletop buckle 11 inward by pressing the button part 13 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 12, and the tabletop buckle 11 disengages from the locking slot 8.
[0027] By extending a button portion 13 that matches the elastic element 12 and a locking portion 14 that engages with the locking slot 8 on the tabletop latch 11, the flip cover 6 can overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 12 by pressing the button portion 13, causing the tabletop latch 11 to move inward, thereby disengaging the tabletop latch 11 from the locking slot 8. This makes the unlocking operation more convenient and accurate, and optimizes the user's unlocking process for the flip cover 6.
[0028] The locking slot 8 is provided with a locking connector 15 for engaging with the locking part 14. Both the locking connector 15 and the locking part 14 are provided with inclined surfaces 16, and the locking connector 15 and the locking part 14 are engaged through the inclined surfaces 16.

The engagement method of the bevels 16 makes the engagement process smoother, easier to align and tighten, and at the same time enhances the firmness of the engagement to a certain extent, ensuring that the flip cover body 6 will not be accidentally unlocked during normal use.
[0030] A hand-held recess 17 is provided between the tea bar machine tabletop 2 and the flip-top body 6. The hand-held recess 17 is composed of an upper groove 18 arranged on the flip-top body 6 and a lower groove 19 arranged on the tabletop.
[0031] The hand-held recess 17 provides a comfortable grip position for users, making it easy for them to open and close the flip cover 6. Especially in scenarios where the flip cover 6 is used frequently, it can effectively reduce hand fatigue and improve ease of use.
[0032] A lid 20 is provided on the side of the flip-top body 6 that is close to the inner barrel 4. The lid 20 is provided with an exhaust hole 21 for venting the inner barrel 4. An exhaust mesh hole 22 is provided on the flip-top body 6 that is connected to the exhaust hole 21.
[0033] By setting the exhaust vent 21 and exhaust mesh 22, the hot air generated when the inner tub 4 is heated can be discharged in time, preventing the inner tub 4 from causing safety problems due to excessive pressure. At the same time, it protects the flip cover body 6 and surrounding parts from damage by hot air and extends service life.
[0034] At least one pad 23 for shock absorption when the flip cover body 6 is closed is also arranged at any position on the flip cover body 6.
[0035] By setting the pad 23, the impact force generated when the flip cover body 6 is closed can be effectively buffered, reducing noise, while protecting the flip cover body 6 and the tea bar machine tabletop 2 from collision damage, extending the overall service life of the tea bar machine, and improving the user's comfort.
[0036] In this embodiment 2, like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the flip-top assembly 5 includes a flip-top body 6 and an unlocking assembly 7. The unlocking assembly 7, through a locking slot 8, a movable latch assembly 9, and its internal sliding sleeve 10, tabletop latch 11, and elastic element 12, enables convenient and stable locking and unlocking of the flip-top body 6. The button part 13 and the latching part 14 of the tabletop latch 11 further optimize the accuracy of operation. The latching connector 15 and the beveled surface 16 of the latching part 14 engage to enhance the connection's firmness and smoothness. The hand-held recess 17 between the tea bar machine tabletop 2 and the flip-top body 6 provides a comfortable grip point, reducing hand fatigue and improving ease of use. The vent hole 21 on the lid 20 is connected to the vent mesh hole 22 on the flip-top body 6, allowing for timely exhaust of hot air from the inner bucket 4, ensuring safety and extending the lifespan of components. The pad 23 on the flip-top body 6 effectively cushions the closing impact, reducing noise and collision damage, comprehensively improving the user experience and extending the overall lifespan of the tea bar machine.
[0037] In this embodiment 3, like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the tea bar cabinet 1 serves as the overall support structure, the tea bar tabletop 2 is arranged on top of it, the tea bar backrest 3 is detachably installed on the tabletop, and the interior is equipped with a detachable inner bucket 4.
[0038] The flip cover assembly 5 is the key component controlling the opening and closing of the flip cover body 6. The flip cover body 6 is mounted on the tabletop via a hinge, allowing it to flip around the hinge point. The unlocking assembly 7 is responsible for locking and unlocking the flip cover body 6.
[0039] In the unlocking component 7, the locking slot 8 is located at the bottom of the flip cover body 6, and the movable latch component 9 is set inside the tabletop and cooperates with the locking slot 8. In the movable latch component 9, the sliding sleeve 10 is arranged inside the flip cover body 6, and the tabletop latch 11 can slide inside the sliding sleeve 10. The elastic element 12 is adjacent to the tabletop latch 11 and always applies an elastic force to the tabletop latch 11 outward, so that the tabletop latch 11 maintains the tendency to engage with the locking slot 8.
[0040] When it is necessary to open the flip cover body 6, the user presses the button 13 on the tabletop latch 11. This operation overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 12, causing the tabletop latch 11 to move inward against the elastic force, thereby disengaging the latching part 14 that is engaged with the locking slot 8 from the latching head 15, thus disengaging from the locking slot 8. At this time, the locked state of the flip cover body 6 is released, and the user can easily flip the flip cover body 6 to open the flip cover body 6.
[0041] Both the locking connector 15 in the locking slot 8 and the locking part 14 of the tabletop buckle 11 are provided with inclined surfaces 16. When the flip cover body 6 is closed, the locking part 14 and the locking connector 15 approach each other. Under the elastic force of the elastic element 12, the locking part 14 slides towards the locking connector 15 through the inclined surface 16, and finally locks tightly, making the locking process smoother and more stable.
[0042] The hand-held recess 17 between the tea bar machine tabletop 2 and the flip-top body 6 is composed of an upper groove 18 on the flip-top body 6 and a lower groove 19 on the tabletop. When the user needs to open or close the flip-top body 6, they can place their hand in the hand-held recess 17. This design provides a more comfortable and convenient grip position, making it easier for the user to apply force to operate the flip-top body 6.
[0043] A lid 20 is provided on the side of the flip-top body 6 near the inner tub 4. The vent hole 21 on the lid 20 is connected to the vent mesh hole 22 on the flip-top body 6. When the internal pressure of the inner tub 4 increases due to heating or other reasons, generating hot air, the hot air enters the vent mesh hole 22 through the vent hole 21 and is eventually discharged, preventing the pressure in the inner tub 4 from becoming too high and ensuring safe use.
[0044] The pad 23 provided on the flip cover body 6 is the first to contact the table surface 2 when the flip cover body 6 is closed, absorbing and buffering the impact force generated by the closing of the flip cover body 6, reducing collision noise, and preventing the flip cover body 6 from directly colliding with the tea bar table surface 2 and causing damage.
