Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a dual-purpose filter cup for beverages, and particularly to a dual-purpose filter cup for beverages that has a simple structure, is easy to operate, is difficult to break, has heat resistance, and is non-toxic.

[0002] The filter cups currently commonly used for soaking or extraction usually consist of a plastic filter cup and a check valve provided inside the plastic filter cup. Thereby, tea leaves or coffee powder are accommodated in the plastic filter cup, and after soaking or extraction, the check valve is actuated to allow the beverage to flow out, achieving the effect of soaking tea leaves or extracting coffee.

[0003] However, although the above-mentioned filter cup can be used for soaking tea leaves or extracting coffee, since the filter cup is made of a plastic material, there is a risk that harmful substances or plastic particles may precipitate due to high-temperature hot water during the soaking of tea leaves or the extraction of coffee. In addition, the check valve itself has a small design and includes members such as rubber packing, a spring, and a valve body, which not only greatly increases the complexity of the structure but also causes the rubber of the check valve to deteriorate due to high-temperature hot water, making it difficult for the conventional filter cup to fully meet the actual usage needs.

[0004] Therefore, devising a dual-purpose filter cup for beverages that has a simple structure, is easy to operate, is difficult to break, has heat resistance, and is non-toxic, and effectively improving the drawbacks of the prior art, is the problem that the present invention actively discloses.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0014] [Figure 1] This is an exploded schematic diagram of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the clay filter cup of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is the first schematic cross-sectional view of the invention in use. [Figure 4] This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the invention in use, part 2.

[0015] In order to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this invention, specific embodiments are shown below, and the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Referring to Figures 1 to 4, the present invention is a two-way beverage filter cup, comprising at least a ceramic filter cup 1 and a stainless steel water-stopping module 2.

[0017] The clay filter cup 1 comprises a conical housing section 11, a spherical housing section 12, and a water outlet section 13. The conical housing section 11 is located inside the clay filter cup 1, the spherical housing section 12 is located inside the clay filter cup 1 and communicates with the conical housing section 11, and the water outlet section 13 is located at one end of the clay filter cup 1 and communicates with the spherical housing section 12.

[0018] The stainless steel water-stopping module 2 is detachably installed inside the spherical housing 12 via the conical housing 11.

[0019] Based on the above embodiment, when used for immersion purposes, the ceramic filter cup 1 is placed above the container 3, and the stainless steel water-stopping module 2 is installed in the spherical storage section 12 via the conical storage section 11. Then, tea leaves are placed in the conical storage section 11, and hot water is poured over the tea leaves in the conical storage section 11 to immerse them. After immersion for a predetermined time, the stainless steel water-stopping module 2 is removed from the spherical storage section 12, allowing the immersed beverage to be poured into the container 3 through the water outlet 13 using gravity and water pressure.

[0020] In addition to the embodiments described above, one embodiment of the present invention further includes a filter paper 4, which is detachably provided within the conical storage portion 11.

[0021] When used for extraction, the ceramic filter cup 1 is placed on top of the container 3, the stainless steel water-stopping module 2 is installed in the spherical storage section 12 via the conical storage section 11, and the filter paper 4 is unfolded and placed in the conical storage section 11. Then, coffee grounds are placed in the filter paper 4, and hot water is poured over the coffee grounds to perform extraction. After extraction for a predetermined time, the stainless steel water-stopping module 2 is removed from the spherical storage section 12, allowing the extracted beverage to be poured into the container 3 through the water outlet 13 using gravity and water pressure.

[0022] Furthermore, in a practicable embodiment, when used for extraction purposes, only the filter paper 4 can be installed without providing the stainless-steel water stop module 2, making it possible to adapt to more practical uses.

[0023] Based on the above embodiments, during use, the clay filter cup 1 is installed in a desired container 3, the stainless-steel water stop module 2 is provided in the spherical housing portion 12, tea leaves or coffee are placed in the conical housing portion 11 together with the filter paper 4, and water is poured into the conical housing portion 11 for soaking or extraction. After soaking or extraction, by directly removing the stainless-steel water stop module 2, the beverage can be poured into the container 3 through the water outlet portion 13 using gravity and water pressure. Thereby, the combination of the clay filter cup 1 and the stainless-steel water stop module 2 can achieve the effects of having a simple structure, easy operation, being difficult to break, having heat resistance, and being non-toxic.

[0024] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the clay filter cup 1 is formed by folding a clay plate and then fired, which is different from the above embodiments. Thereby, due to the material of the clay filter cup 1, it is possible to prevent the precipitation of harmful substances and plastic particles, be difficult to break during soaking or extraction, and obtain the effects of heat resistance and non-toxicity.

[0025] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, a water stop ring 14 is provided between the conical housing portion 11 and the spherical housing portion 12, and the water stop ring 14 is made of silicone rubber. With this configuration, when the stainless-steel water stop module 2 is provided in the spherical housing portion 12, by making it contact the water stop ring 14, a better water stop effect can be obtained, preventing the beverage from leaking from the water outlet portion 13 before soaking or extraction is completed.

[0026] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the stainless steel water-stopping module 2 includes an operating section 21 and a stopper body 22, the stopper body 22 being provided at one end of the operating section 21. The operating section 21 is detachably supported in a conical housing section 11, and the stopper body 22 is detachably provided in a spherical housing section 12, and the stopper body 22 can close or open the water outlet section 13. The stopper body 22 is spherical and smaller than the spherical housing section 12.

[0027] Based on the above embodiment, when in use, force is applied to the operating unit 21 to install the stainless steel water-stopping module 2 into the ceramic filter cup 1, the stopper body 22 is placed inside the spherical housing 12, the operating unit 21 is supported by the conical housing 11, and the stopper body 22 is pressed against the water-stopping ring 14. This enhances the water-stopping effect of the stainless steel water-stopping module 2 via the water-stopping ring 14, preventing the beverage from leaking from the water outlet 13 before immersion or extraction is complete. After immersion or extraction, force is again applied to the operating unit 21 to remove the stopper body 22 from the spherical housing 12, and the extracted beverage can be poured into the container 3 through the water outlet 13 using gravity and water pressure. This intuitive manual operation allows the stainless steel water-stopping module 2 to achieve a simple structure, easy operation, and resistance to damage.
