Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea bar machine technology, and in particular to an overflow water recovery device for a tea bar machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional tea bar machines lack an effective overflow collection structure, so when users fill the kettle with water or boil water, boiling water easily overflows from the spout and flows directly onto the countertop. This not only causes countertop contamination and cleaning burden, but also poses a safety hazard of electrical short circuits. Existing tea bar machines typically have drainage holes directly drilled into the water receiving platform. However, since these drainage holes are parallel to the countertop, they cannot effectively guide the water flow and result in suboptimal water collection. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an overflow recovery device for a tea bar machine, which solves the problem of water accumulation on the table caused by the inability to effectively collect overflow water in traditional tea bar machines.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an overflow water recovery device for a tea bar machine, comprising a machine body and a water receiving platform disposed on the upper part of the machine body, the water receiving platform being divided into a heating zone and a water receiving zone, the heating zone being provided with a heating base, the heating zone being provided with a settling tank, and a dynamic water collection device being disposed in the settling tank, the dynamic water collection device comprising: A lifting slide block that is slidably sleeved on the outside of the heating base; A water-guiding cloth is fixed at the lower end of the lifting slide and at the edge of the settling tank. A water collection tank located below the water-guiding cloth, and a drain pipe connecting the water-guiding cloth and the water collection tank; The lifting slide is configured such that when the kettle is placed, the center of the water-guiding cloth is lowered by gravity, and the water-guiding cloth changes from a planar state to a funnel-shaped water-collecting surface. The water-guiding cloth is provided with seepage holes near the lifting slide, and the funnel-shaped water collection surface guides the overflow water into the water collection tank through the seepage holes and the drain pipe.

[0005] Furthermore, the top of the lifting slide extends outward to form a kettle support platform.

[0006] Furthermore, the bottom of the lifting slide is provided with a support ring, the shape of which is adapted to the settling trough, and an elastic reset mechanism is provided between the support ring and the settling trough.

[0007] Furthermore, the elastic reset mechanism includes a guide post vertically fixed to the side of the settling tank, a reset slider slidably sleeved on the guide post, and a compression spring provided on the guide post. The reset slider is fixedly connected to the support ring.

[0008] Furthermore, the center of the water-guiding cloth is fixed to the lifting slide by a detachable clamping assembly, the clamping assembly including a clamping ring with a tubular groove and a locking pressure ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the drain pipe includes an upper section and a lower section, the upper section receiving the water from the seepage hole, and the lower section extending obliquely into the water collection tank.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the support ring is provided with an eccentric water-guiding funnel, the upper section pipe is connected to the high end of the eccentric water-guiding funnel, and the lower section pipe is connected to the drain outlet at the low end of the eccentric water-guiding funnel.

[0011] Furthermore, the heating base is connected to the machine body through a hollow support column, and the lifting slide is slidably sleeved on the outside of the support column, with the power supply line of the heating base passing through the support column.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: To address the issue of water accumulation on the table caused by the ineffective collection of overflow water in traditional tea bar machines, a settling trough is installed at the bottom of the heating zone. Within this trough, a dynamic water collection device is configured, consisting of a lifting slide, a water-guiding cloth, a water collection tank, and a drain pipe. The lifting slide is slidably mounted on the outside of the heating base. The water-guiding cloth is fixed at its center to the upper end of the lifting slide and its outer periphery to the edge of the settling trough. A seepage hole is opened on the water-guiding cloth near the lifting slide. The water collection tank is placed below the water-guiding cloth and connected to the seepage hole via the drain pipe. Utilizing the downward pressure of gravity on the lifting slide when the kettle is placed, the water-guiding cloth dynamically transforms from a flat state to a funnel-shaped water collection surface, forcing overflow water to flow towards the seepage hole and into the water collection tank through the drain pipe. This solves the problem of water accumulation and pollution on the table caused by overflow water in existing tea bar machines, achieving automatic centralized collection of overflow water. Furthermore, the design of keeping the water-guiding cloth in a flat state maintains the aesthetic appeal of the tea bar machine. Attached Figure Description

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be selected to be combined or substituted with each other according to the actual situation, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides an overflow water recovery device for a tea bar machine, including a body 1. The body 1 has a double-layer cabinet structure. The upper surface of the upper cabinet serves as a water receiving platform 2, which is divided into a water receiving area 111 and a heating area 112. A water outlet pipe is provided above the body 1. The water outlet pipe can rotate and alternate between the water receiving area 111 and the heating area 112. A circular settling trough 11 is formed in the heating area 112. A heating base 2 is provided at the center of the settling trough 11. The heating base 2 contains an electric heating element for heating the kettle. A settling trough 21 is provided on the heating area 21. The settling tank 11 extends downwards from the surface of the water receiving platform 2. The settling tank 11 is circular. The dynamic water collection device 4 includes a lifting slide 41, a water-guiding cloth 42, a drain pipe 44, and a water collection tank 43. The lifting slide 41 has a through hole in the middle, identical to the one between the lifting slide and the column of the heating base 3. It is fitted onto the heating base 3 through the through hole and can slide up and down on the column of the heating base 3. The water-guiding cloth 42 is made of silicone; the material commonly used in swimming caps can be used as the water-guiding cloth 42 of this invention. It has a smooth, hydrophobic surface and is elastic and resilient, allowing it to remain undeformed for a long time. The water-guiding cloth is wrinkle-free, but to ensure its elasticity is sufficient to support the weight of the kettle, its thickness is no more than 1 cm. The water-guiding cloth 42 unfolds into a circle with a hole at its center, large enough to pass through the heating base 3. The diameter of the water-guiding cloth 42 is larger than the diameter of the settling trough 11. The hole of the water-guiding cloth 42 is passed through the heating base 3 and fixed to the bottom of the lifting slide 41. The outer edge of the water-guiding cloth 42 is fixed to the edge of the settling trough 11. When the kettle is not placed on the lifting slide 41, the entire surface of the water-guiding cloth 42 supports the settling trough 11 and is parallel to the surface of the water receiving platform 2. The height of the lifting slide 41 is 33cm to 5cm higher than the heating base. In order to ensure that the kettle can press down on the lifting slide 41 first, thereby driving the water guide cloth 42 to form a funnel-shaped water collection surface, multiple seepage holes 421 are arrayed near the central hole of the water guide cloth 42. When the water guide cloth 42 forms a funnel-shaped water collection surface, the seepage holes 421 are at the lowest point of the entire funnel-shaped water collection surface. The collected water can be discharged from the funnel-shaped water collection surface through the seepage holes 421. One end of the drain pipe 44 is connected to the bottom of the seepage holes 421, and the other end is connected to the water collection tank 43, thus realizing the collection and storage of water.

[0018] To prevent the heating base 3 from independently supporting the kettle, which could lead to damage over time, the top of the lifting slide 41 is designed as an enlarged circular surface to form a kettle support platform 411. This increases the contact area with the kettle, making the kettle more stable and preventing the heating base 3 from bending and being damaged by independently supporting the kettle.

[0019] To ensure that the water-guiding cloth 42 has a certain supporting force when it is parallel to the water receiving platform, a support ring 412 is provided at the bottom of the lifting slide 41. The shape of the support ring 412 is adapted to the settling tank 11. An elastic reset mechanism 413 is provided between the support ring 412 and the settling tank 11. The upper surface of the support ring 412 is flat. When the water-guiding cloth 42 is parallel to the water receiving platform, the support ring 412 will fit against the bottom surface of the water-guiding cloth 42, providing support for the water-guiding cloth 42 and preventing the water-guiding cloth 42 from sagging when it is parallel, which would affect the overall appearance. The support ring 412 is fixedly connected to the lifting slide 41 and can rise and fall with the lifting slide 41. When the water-guiding cloth 42 is converted into a funnel-shaped water collecting surface, the support ring fits against the water-guiding cloth 42.

[0020] To ensure that the water guide cloth 42 automatically returns to a position parallel to the water receiving platform and the lifting slide 41 rises above the heating base 3 after the kettle detaches from the heating base, the elastic reset mechanism 413 includes a guide post 414 vertically fixed to the side of the settling tank 11, a reset slider 415 slidably sleeved on the guide post 414, and a compression spring 416 provided on the guide post 414. The reset slider 415 is fixedly connected to the support ring 412. A groove is opened on the side wall of the settling tank 11, and the guide post 414 is set in the groove. The compression spring 416 is designed on the guide post 414. The reset slider 415 is connected to the side of the support ring 412. The reset slider 415 is slidably connected to the guide post 414 and located above the compression spring 416. When the support ring 412 is subjected to the weight of the kettle, it will drop, and the compression spring 416 will compress it. The support ring 412 will not be weighed. The compression spring 416 drives the support ring 412 to lift the lifting slide 41 and the water guide cloth 42 upward.

[0021] To ensure that the water-guiding cloth 42 can be disassembled and replaced, a clamping assembly 5 is provided on the lifting slide 41. The clamping assembly 5 includes a clamping ring 51 fixed to the bottom of the lifting slide 41 and a locking pressure ring 52 detachably connected to the clamping ring 51. The outer edges of the clamping ring 51 and the locking pressure ring 52 are provided with mounting ears, and the mounting ears are provided with threaded holes. The water-guiding cloth 42 is clamped between the clamping ring 51 and the locking pressure ring 52, and the clamping ring 51 and the locking pressure ring 52 are locked by bolts. This not only fixes the water-guiding cloth 42, but also facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the water-guiding cloth 42.

[0022] To ensure the stability of the water-guiding cloth 42 installed between the clamping ring 51 and the locking pressure ring 52, the clamping ring 51 is provided with a tubular groove 53. A tubular ring is pressed into the central hole of the water-guiding cloth 42, and the ring matches the tubular groove 53. The ring is placed in the tubular groove 53. Through the compression of the locking pressure ring 52 and the restriction of the ring by the tubular groove, the stability of the water-guiding cloth 42 installed between the clamping ring 51 and the locking pressure ring 52 is ensured. At the same time, the same structure is designed at the outer edge of the water-guiding cloth 42. A pressure ring with the same structure as the locking pressure ring 52 is fixed to the platform of the water receiving platform 2 by threads, ensuring the stability of the outer edge of the water-guiding cloth 42 fixed on the water receiving platform 2.

[0023] The bottom of the support ring 412 is provided with an eccentric water guide funnel 6. The upper section pipe 441 is connected to the high end of the eccentric water guide funnel 6, and the lower section pipe 442 is connected to the drain outlet 61 at the low end of the eccentric water guide funnel 6. Water collected from multiple seepage holes 421 can be guided to a drain outlet 61 through the eccentric water guide funnel 6. Then, through this drain outlet 61, the water is connected to the water collection tank 43 through the lower end pipe, so as to achieve more convenient water collection.

[0024] The heating base 3 is connected to the body 1 through the hollow support column 7. The lifting slide 41 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the support column, and the power supply line of the heating base 3 is passed through the support column. The hollow support column 7 is used to support the heating base 3 on the platform of the water receiving platform 2. The hollow structure enables the power supply line to be connected to the heating base 3, and at the same time can isolate the water guiding funnel and the water guiding cloth 42, so that the collected water cannot seep into the hollow cavity.

[0025] In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, there are other embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
