[0020] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the extraction device and health pot of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments and implementation methods can be combined with each other.

[0021] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application provides an extraction device 10, which includes a main unit 11, a liquid container 12, and a squeezing structure 13.

[0022] The liquid container 12 is assembled to the main unit 11, and can be used to hold liquid. The liquid container 12 can be detachably assembled to the main unit 11, allowing it to be removed for cleaning and more thorough cleaning. Alternatively, the liquid container 12 can be fixedly connected to the main unit 11. In some embodiments, the liquid container 12 can be assembled on top of the main unit 11 or on the side of the main unit 11. In this embodiment, the liquid container 12 is assembled inside the main unit 11, thus occupying a smaller volume.

[0023] The extrusion structure 13 includes an extrusion plate assembly 14 and a connecting rod 15. The extrusion plate assembly 14 includes at least two extrusion plates 16. The extrusion plate assembly 14 may include two, three, or more extrusion plates 16. In this embodiment, the extrusion plate assembly 14 includes two extrusion plates 16, which are arranged opposite to each other. The extrusion plate assembly 14 can be used to hold food ingredients, and the space between the at least two extrusion plates 16 of the extrusion plate assembly 14 can be used to hold food ingredients, which may include, but are not limited to, tea leaves, coffee, flowers and fruits, medicinal herbs, vegetables, etc.

[0024] The first end of the connecting rod 15 is located outside the liquid container 12, and the second end of the connecting rod 15 extends into the liquid container 12 and is hinged to the squeezing plate 16. The connecting rod 15 is movably disposed on the main unit 11 in the vertical direction to allow the squeezing plate assembly 14 to open or close. Opening the squeezing plate assembly 14 can mean that the ends of at least two squeezing plates 16 away from the connecting rod 15 move away from each other. Closing the squeezing plate assembly 14 can mean that the ends of at least two squeezing plates 16 away from the connecting rod 15 move closer to each other.

[0025] The extraction apparatus 10 provided in this application includes a compression structure 13, which comprises a compression plate assembly 14 and a connecting rod 15. The compression plate assembly 14 includes at least two compression plates 16. The connecting rod 15 is movably mounted on the main unit 11 in a vertical direction to allow the compression plate assembly 14 to open or close. Thus, when the compression plate assembly 14 is closed, the food material contained within it can be compressed, facilitating rapid and effective extraction of nutrients and achieving high-efficiency extraction of the food.

[0026] In one embodiment, the extraction device 10 further includes a heating component 17 disposed within the main unit 11, wherein the heating component 17 can be a heating plate. The heating component 17 is located at the bottom of the liquid container 12 and is used to heat the liquid contained in the liquid container 12, thereby realizing the function of heating and stewing. In this way, the heating component 17 can cooperate with the extrusion plate assembly 14, which is conducive to the efficient extraction of nutrients from the food.

[0027] In one embodiment, the extraction device 10 further includes a heat insulation layer 18 disposed within the main unit 11, the heat insulation layer 18 being located below the heating component 17. The heat insulation layer 18 can insulate the heat from the heating component 17.

[0028] See Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the liquid container 12 includes a container body 19 and a compression support 20 protruding upward from the inner bottom surface of the container body 19. The container body 19 of the liquid container 12 can be used to hold liquid. The compression support 20 is provided with a hollow cavity 21.

[0029] The second end of the connecting rod 15 passes through the hollow cavity 21 and extends into the container body 19. When the connecting rod 15 moves downward, the extrusion support 20 presses against the side wall of the extrusion plate 16, causing the extrusion plate assembly 14 to close and be at least partially housed within the hollow cavity 21. When the connecting rod 15 moves upward, the extrusion plate 16 moves away from the extrusion support 20, and the extrusion plate assembly 14 can open due to its own gravity. Thus, the extrusion plate assembly 14 can be closed using the extrusion support 20, making the closure of the extrusion plate assembly 14 simple and convenient.

[0030] See Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the extrusion support 20 includes a plurality of enclosure walls 22, which together form a hollow cavity 21. The enclosure walls 22 include main enclosure walls 23 for pressing against the side walls of the extrusion plate 16. There are two main enclosure walls 23, which are arranged opposite to each other. The distance between the middle portions of the two main enclosure walls 23 is greater than the distance between their ends. Thus, when the connecting rod 15 moves downward, the extrusion support 20 can press against the side walls of the extrusion plate 16; when the connecting rod 15 moves upward, the extrusion support 20 does not press against the side walls of the extrusion plate 16, thereby enabling the extrusion plate assembly 14 to open and close.

[0031] In one embodiment, the main enclosure 23 includes a first enclosure segment 24, a second enclosure segment 25, and a third enclosure segment 26. The third enclosure segment 26 connects the first enclosure segment 24 and the second enclosure segment 25, and the third enclosure segment 26 is arc-shaped.

[0032] See Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the extrusion plate 16 includes a main plate 27 and an edge plate 28. The edge plate 28 protrudes outward from the main plate 27 and extends along the edge of the main plate 27. The food can be contained within the space formed by the main plate 27 and the edge plate 28, thus preventing the food from falling out during the extrusion process. One of the second end of the connecting rod 15 and the edge plate 28 is provided with a rotating shaft 29, and the other is provided with a mounting hole 30 that mates with the rotating shaft 29. The rotating shaft 29 is inserted into the mounting hole 30 to achieve a hinge connection between the second end of the connecting rod 15 and the extrusion plate 16. The second end of the connecting rod 15 can be contained within the space formed by the main plate 27 and the edge plate 28. In this embodiment, the edge plate 28 is provided with a rotating shaft 29, and the second end of the connecting rod 15 is provided with a mounting hole 30 that mates with the rotating shaft 29. This allows the extrusion plate assembly 14 to be opened or closed.

[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the extraction device 10 further includes a drive structure 31 and a transmission assembly 32, the transmission assembly 32 being connected between the drive structure 31 and the first end of the connecting rod 15. The transmission assembly 32 can be any of the following components: a gear and rack assembly, a lead screw assembly, or a worm gear assembly. The transmission assembly 32 can also be simply a connecting rod; this application does not impose any limitations.

[0034] The drive structure 31 is used to move via the drive transmission assembly 32, so that the connecting rod 15 is movably mounted on the main unit 11 in the vertical direction, thereby opening or closing the extrusion plate assembly 14. This method is simple to implement. The drive structure 31 can be a rotary drive structure or a linear drive structure.

[0035] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly 32 includes a lead screw 33. The drive structure 31 can be a rotary drive structure, such as a motor. A heat insulation layer 18 can be located between the heating assembly 17 and the drive structure 31 to prevent heat from the heating assembly 17 from being transferred to the drive structure 31. The drive structure 31 can be located on one side of the lead screw 33.

[0036] The connecting rod 15 has a cavity 34 extending vertically. A lead screw 33 extends into the cavity 34 and engages with the inner wall of the cavity 34. The inner wall of the cavity 34 may be threaded, and the lead screw 33 can engage with the threaded connection within the cavity 34. Alternatively, a lead screw nut 40 may be provided inside the cavity 34, engaging with the lead screw 33 within the cavity 34.

[0037] The drive structure 31 is connected to the lead screw 33 and is used to drive the lead screw 33 to rotate so that the connecting rod 15 is movably mounted on the main unit 11 in the vertical direction. In this way, the connecting rod 15 can be movably mounted on the main unit 11 in the vertical direction by the lead screw 33 engaging with the inner wall of the cavity 34, thus improving reliability.

[0038] In one embodiment, the extraction device 10 further includes a container lid 35, which can be closed onto the liquid container 12. The container lid 35 prevents steam from overflowing and scalding the user. The container lid 35 can be closed onto the top of the liquid container 12. The container lid 35 can be moved vertically to close onto the liquid container 12, can be flipped to close onto the liquid container 12, or can be screwed onto the liquid container 12; this application does not impose any limitations on these methods.

[0039] In this embodiment, when using the extraction device 10, the container lid 35 can be opened, the tea bag can be placed in the extrusion plate assembly 14, and liquid can be added into the liquid container 12. The container lid 35 can be closed, and the liquid in the liquid container 12 can be heated and simmered by the heating component 17 located at the bottom of the liquid container 12. After heating to the set temperature, the drive structure 31 can be activated to make the lead screw 33 rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod 15 to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0040] When the connecting rod 15 moves downward in the vertical direction, the extrusion plate 16 hinged to the second end of the connecting rod 15 is subjected to force and moves downward. The extrusion support 20 can press against the side wall of the extrusion plate 16 so that the extrusion plate assembly 14 closes and extrudes the tea bag.

[0041] When the connecting rod 15 moves upward in the vertical direction, the pressing plate 16 hinged to the second end of the connecting rod 15 moves upward, the pressing plate 16 moves away from the pressing support 20, and the pressing plate assembly 14 can open due to its own gravity, relaxing the pressure on the tea bag. In this way, the connecting rod 15 moves up and down in the vertical direction, which can achieve the pressing effect.

[0042] In one embodiment, the extraction device 10 further includes a liquid outlet pipe 36 located within the main unit 11. The bottom of the liquid container 12 is provided with a drain hole 37, a first end of the liquid outlet pipe 36 is connected to the drain hole 37, and a second end of the liquid outlet pipe 36 extends outside the main unit 11, so that liquid can be discharged from the liquid container 12.

[0043] In one embodiment, the second end of the outlet pipe 36 faces downward, which facilitates the discharge of liquid.

[0044] In one embodiment, the extraction device 10 further includes a liquid outlet valve 38, which is located on the liquid outlet pipe 36. The liquid outlet valve 38 has an open state and a closed state. When the liquid outlet valve 38 is in the open state, the liquid outlet pipe 36 is open, and the liquid in the liquid container 12 can be discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 36. When the liquid outlet valve 38 is in the closed state, the liquid outlet pipe 36 is closed, and the liquid in the liquid container 12 cannot be discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 36. This facilitates user operation.

[0045] In one embodiment, the main unit 11 is recessed to form a cavity 39, wherein the sidewall of the main unit 11 can be recessed inward to form the cavity 39, and the cavity 39 can be used to place a cup. The second end of the dispensing tube 36 passes through the surface of the cavity 39 and extends into the cavity 39. In this way, the cavity 39 can serve to position the cup, and when the cup is placed in the cavity 39, the dispensing valve 38 can be opened, and the liquid in the liquid container 12 can flow from the dispensing tube 36 into the cup for user use.
