Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea ware technology, and in particular to a modular tea tray. Background Technology

[0002] The tea tray is an indispensable tool in tea culture. It is mainly used to hold teapots, teacups and other tea utensils, and to collect wastewater or tea residue generated during the brewing process to keep the tea table clean.

[0003] With the diversification of usage scenarios, modular tea trays have emerged on the market. These tea trays are usually composed of two or more independent modular units. Users can flexibly assemble these modules into a large tea tray according to the size of the tea table or the number of people drinking tea, or disassemble them for independent use, providing convenience.

[0004] However, in existing modular tea tray designs, when multiple modules are used together, the water storage structures beneath each module are usually independent. In actual tea-drinking practice, users often tend to pour the wastewater into a fixed area close to themselves.

[0005] This usage habit causes wastewater to flow into a single, isolated water tank, quickly filling it and causing it to overflow, while other water tanks may still have plenty of empty space. This not only makes the tabletop wet and messy, affecting the tea-drinking experience, but also prevents the large water storage capacity of the tea set from being effectively utilized, significantly reducing its overall practicality.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes a modular tea tray to address the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0007] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a modular tea tray, which aims to improve the problems in the prior art where modular tea trays are prone to overflowing due to wastewater concentration when used together, and the unstable structure at the joint is prone to displacement.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a combined tea tray, comprising a first water storage box and a second water storage box arranged side by side, and a first drain plate and a second drain plate respectively disposed above the openings of the first water storage box and the second water storage box; the first drain plate and the second drain plate are both of a wave-shaped structure, and the two sides of the wave groove formed on their lower surfaces are engaged with the outer edge of the water storage box from top to bottom, so as to form a water flow channel between the side edges of the first drain plate and the second drain plate and the inner walls of the first water storage box and the second water storage box; the combined tea tray also includes anti-deviation strips and diversion components.

[0009] The anti-deviation strip has a U-shaped structure and is snapped onto the long side of the upper surface where the first and second drain plates are in contact, thus firmly fixing the two drain plates together.

[0010] Furthermore, the diversion assembly includes a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the side wall of the first water storage box and a threaded pipe fixedly connected to the corresponding side wall of the second water storage box. The first water storage box, the second water storage box, and the diversion assembly are combined by inserting the connecting pipe into the threaded pipe to form a connecting flow channel between the first water storage box and the second water storage box.

[0011] Preferably, filter balls are placed at both ends of each of the corrugated grooves on the upper surface of the first and second drain plates. This design is used to perform preliminary filtration of wastewater before it flows into the water flow channel to intercept larger tea leaf fragments.

[0012] Preferably, the combined tea tray further includes a filter assembly comprising a detachable filter box. Specifically, mounting grooves are provided on the inner walls of both the first and second water storage boxes, and a mounting post is correspondingly provided on one side of the filter box. The mounting post can slide and engage with the mounting grooves, thereby suspending the filter box inside the water storage boxes for secondary filtration of the incoming wastewater.

[0013] As a further optimization of the above-mentioned filtration components, the filter box is equipped with a filter screen for more fine filtration of the flowing water, thereby more thoroughly separating water and tea leaves.

[0014] Preferably, in order to enable the independent use of a single water storage box, the outer wall of the threaded pipe is provided with threads, and the diversion assembly also includes a sealing cap that is screwed into the thread, which can be used to seal the opening of the threaded pipe when the connection function is not required.

[0015] To enhance the sealing effect when the connecting pipe is connected to the threaded pipe, preferably, a sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of the threaded pipe to prevent leakage when the water level is high.

[0016] To provide an option for external drainage, preferably, a handle 5 for lifting the drain board is installed on one side of the first or second drain board.

[0017] The filter box is installed on the flow channel of tea water from the first drain plate and the second drain plate to the water storage box, and is used to filter out residual tea leaves in the tea water.

[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, a diversion component is set between two water storage boxes. This diversion component connects the internal spaces of the two water storage boxes through a connecting pipe and a threaded pipe. This solves the problem in the prior art where the water storage parts of the combined tea tray are independent of each other, which makes it easy for wastewater to accumulate on one side and overflow quickly. It achieves the technical effect of automatically balancing the water level in the two water storage boxes by utilizing the principle of communicating vessels, thereby effectively improving the overall water storage capacity and preventing overflow.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, by setting a U-shaped anti-deviation strip, which is snapped onto the upper surface of two adjacent drain boards that are in contact with each other, the problem of unstable structure of spliced ​​drain boards in the prior art, which is prone to relative displacement or shaking during use, affecting the flatness of the tray surface and the drainage effect is solved. The technical effect of firmly fixing the two drain boards into a whole is achieved, ensuring the stability and flatness of the tray surface, thereby improving the user experience.

[0020] 3. In this utility model, by setting filter balls in the groove of the drain plate and suspending a filter box with a filter screen in the water storage box, a double filtration structure is formed, which solves the problem that the existing tea tray drainage channel is easily blocked by tea leaves and is difficult to clean later. It achieves graded filtration, effectively prevents blockage, and at the same time makes cleaning only require cleaning the filter balls and the detachable filter box, which greatly simplifies the maintenance process.

[0023] 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. Example

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a modular tea tray, which aims to solve the problems in the prior art where modular tea trays are easily overfilled due to wastewater accumulation when used together, and the unstable structure at the joint is prone to displacement.

[0025] The modular tea tray includes a first water storage box 1 and a second water storage box 2 arranged side by side. The first water storage box 1 and the second water storage box 2 serve as the basic structure of the tea tray and are used to collect wastewater flowing in from above.

[0026] Above the openings of the first water storage box 1 and the second water storage box 2, a first drain plate 3 and a second drain plate 4 are respectively provided adjacent to each other. The first drain plate 3 and the second drain plate 4 are both of a wave-shaped structure. The two sides of the wave groove formed on their lower surface are engaged with the inner edge of the water storage box from top to bottom. This engaging method forms a water flow channel for guiding water flow between the side of the first drain plate 3 and the second drain plate 4 and the inner wall of the first water storage box 1 and the second water storage box 2.

[0027] The modular tea tray also includes an anti-deviation strip 8, which has a U-shaped structure and is snapped onto the long side of the upper surface where the first drain plate 3 and the second drain plate 4 are in contact. The anti-deviation strip 8 is used to connect and fix the first drain plate 3 and the second drain plate 4 into a stable whole tray surface to prevent relative displacement between the two during use, thereby ensuring that the position of the water flow channel is constant and the drainage is smooth.

[0028] The modular tea tray also includes a diversion component 7, which is used to connect the first water storage box 1 and the second water storage box 2 to achieve automatic balance of the internal water level. The diversion component 7 includes a connecting pipe 701 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first water storage box 1 and a threaded pipe 702 fixedly connected to the corresponding side wall of the second water storage box 2. During installation and use, the connecting pipe 701 is inserted into the threaded pipe 702, thereby forming a connecting channel between the first water storage box 1 and the second water storage box 2. When the water level in either water storage box is higher than the connecting channel, the water will automatically flow into the other water storage box.

[0029] As a primary filtration structure, filter balls 601 are placed at both ends of each wavy groove on the upper surface of the first drain plate 3 and the second drain plate 4. The filter balls 601 are used to block and intercept larger tea leaf fragments before the wastewater flows into the water flow channel.

[0030] As a secondary filtration structure, the combined tea tray also includes a filter assembly 6, which is used to further filter the water flowing into the water storage box. The filter assembly 6 includes a filter box 602, and an installation groove 604 is provided on the inner wall of the first water storage box 1 and the second water storage box 2. The installation groove 604 is used to suspend the filter box 602.

[0031] Specifically, a mounting post 603 is provided on one side of the filter box 602. During installation, the mounting post 603 slides into the mounting groove 604, so that the filter box 602 can be detachably installed on the inner wall of the water storage box and located directly below the water flow channel. To facilitate cleaning by the user, a filter screen 605 is also provided inside the filter box 602. The filter screen 605 is used to separate finer tea leaves from the water flow.

[0032] To enable the water storage boxes to be used in combination or independently, please refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer wall of the threaded tube 702 is provided with threads, and the diversion assembly 7 also includes a sealing cap 703 that is screwed into the threads. A sealing ring is also provided on the inner wall of the threaded tube 702. The sealing ring is used to ensure the sealing of the connection when the connecting tube 701 is inserted.

[0033] In addition, to provide diverse drainage methods, a handle 5 for lifting the drain board is installed on one side of the first drain board 3 or the second drain board 4.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, to achieve effective filtration of tea leaves in wastewater, filter balls 601 are placed at both ends of each corrugated groove on the upper surface of the first drain plate 3 and the second drain plate 4.

[0035] As another preferred embodiment, in order to further filter the water flowing into the water storage box, the combined tea tray also includes a filter assembly 6. The filter assembly 6 includes a filter box 602, and an installation groove 604 is provided on the inner wall of the first water storage box 1 and the second water storage box 2. An installation post 603 is provided on one side of the filter box 602, which slides in cooperation with the installation groove 604.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment, to improve filtration accuracy, a filter screen 605 is provided inside the filter box 602.

[0037] As another preferred embodiment, in order to enable the water storage box to be used in combination or independently, the outer wall of the threaded tube 702 is provided with threads, and the diversion assembly 7 also includes a sealing cap 703 that is screwed into the thread.

[0038] In a further preferred embodiment, to ensure the sealing of the connection of the diversion component 7, a sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of the threaded pipe 702.

[0039] Working principle: When assembling and installing, first remove the sealing cap 703 of the threaded pipe 702 on the second water storage box 2, insert the connecting pipe 701 on the first water storage box 1 into the threaded pipe 702, and form a sealed connection through the sealing ring on its inner wall; then, the first drain plate 3 and the second drain plate 4 are respectively snapped above the openings of the first water storage box 1 and the second water storage box 2, and the U-shaped anti-deviation strip 8 is snapped at the long side of the upper surface where the two are in contact with each other to form a stable overall plate surface.

[0040] When in use, when wastewater is poured onto the first drain plate 3 and the second drain plate 4, the water flows along the wavy grooves to both sides. The filter balls 601 located at both ends of the grooves will first block larger tea leaves. Then, the water flows through the water flow channel formed between the side of the drain plate and the inner wall of the water storage box, and flows into the filter box 602 suspended on the mounting groove 604 on the inner wall of the water storage box. The filter screen 605 in the filter box 602 performs secondary fine filtration on the water flow, and finally the clean wastewater falls into the first water storage box 1 and the second water storage box 2.

[0041] As wastewater continues to accumulate, when the water level in any of the storage boxes rises to the height of the connecting pipe 701, the water will automatically flow through the connecting channel of the diversion component 7 into the other storage box with a lower water level, until the water levels in the two storage boxes are roughly balanced. This design effectively solves the problem of water overflowing from one side of the storage box due to the concentration of wastewater. If only a single storage box needs to be used independently, the opening of the threaded pipe 702 can be sealed with the sealing cap 703. In addition, by manually pulling the handle 5 upwards, the drain plate can be pulled upwards, making it easy to disassemble and install the locked drain plate and the storage box.
