DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, a tea maker of the present application includes a tea brewing container 1, the top of the tea brewing container 1 is open, a water-blocking cap 2 is installed at the bottom of the tea brewing container 1, a hollow column 3 is provided at the bottom of the tea brewing container 1, the water-blocking cap 2 is covered on the outside of the hollow column 3, a channel 4 for the hollow column 3 to pass through is provided on the inner side of the water-blocking cap 2, the top of the channel 4 is closed, a side gap 5 is provided between the outer wall of the hollow column 3 and the inner wall of the channel 4, an upper gap 6 is provided between the top of the hollow column 3 and the inner top wall of the channel 4, and a lower gap 7 is provided between the bottom of the water-blocking cap 2 and the inner bottom wall of the tea brewing container 1. A water-proof cap 2 is installed at the bottom of the tea brewing container 1, and a hollow column 3 is provided at the bottom of the tea brewing container 1. The water-proof cap 2 is covered on the outside of the hollow column 3, and a channel 4 for the hollow column 3 to pass through is provided on the inner side of the water-proof cap 2. A side gap 5 is provided between the outer wall of the hollow column 3 and the inner wall of the channel 4, an upper gap 6 is provided between the top of the hollow column 3 and the inner top wall of the channel 4, and a lower gap 7 is provided between the bottom of the water-proof cap 2 and the inner bottom wall of the tea brewing container 1. When the hot water output by the ice tea machine or the coffee machine is added to the tea maker, the hot water in the tea brewing container 1 passes through the lower gap 7, the side gap 5, the upper gap 6, and the hollow column 3 before flowing out. The hot water needs to continue to rise to above the top surface of the hollow column 3 before it can flow out, thereby realizing the soaking of tea leaves and ensuring that the outflowing tea liquid has been relatively fully soaked, with good tea brewing effect, good taste, tea saving, and good consumer experience.

[0022] The bottom of the tea brewing container 1 is provided with a water outlet 8 connected to the hollow column 3 to facilitate the smooth flow of tea.

[0023] The water-blocking cap 2 is mounted on the bottom of the tea-brewing container 1 by screws 9 , so that the water-blocking cap 2 is easy to install and firmly installed.

[0024] The bottom of the water-blocking cap 2 and the bottom of the tea brewing container 1 are provided with corresponding screw mounting holes 10, which facilitate the positioning and mounting of the water-blocking cap 2 and the tea brewing container 1 by screws 9. In specific implementation, the water-blocking cap 2 can also be connected to the tea brewing container 1 through the buckle position inside, which can be easily disassembled and cleaned by consumers.

[0025] The bottom of the channel 4 is evenly distributed with a number of guide notches 11, which are conducive to the smooth and uniform outflow of tea. In a specific implementation, the guide notches 11 evenly distributed on the bottom of the water-blocking cap 1 can also be a metal filter structure to isolate the tea leaves.

[0026] A longitudinal mounting support plate 12 is provided on the outer side of the water-blocking cap 2 to make the structure of the water-blocking cap 2 more stable while not hindering the putting in and pouring out of tea leaves.

[0027] A positioning installation column 13 is provided at the bottom of the water barrier cap 2, and a positioning installation groove 14 corresponding to the positioning installation column 13 is provided at the bottom of the tea brewing container 1, which is beneficial to the positioning installation of the water barrier cap 2 and makes the installation of the water barrier cap 2 more convenient.

[0028] The tea brewing container 1 is gradually smaller from top to bottom, which is convenient for adding hot water and pouring out tea leaves.

[0029] In a specific implementation, the tea leaves have been soaked more fully before the tea liquid flows out of the tea maker. By adjusting the diameter of the tea liquid outlet, the outlet speed of the tea liquid can be guaranteed to be consistent with the filling speed of hot water, thereby ensuring the quality of the tea liquid.

[0030] When the hot water is added above to a level higher than the top surface of the hollow column 3, the inside and outside are connected, and the tea liquid flows out through the middle hollow column 3. When the internal tea liquid is lower than the top surface of the hollow column 3, due to the effect of atmospheric pressure, the remaining tea liquid will continue to be pumped out to the lowest position.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
