There are two types of instruments used for this purpose. FIG. 1 shows a well-known integrated tea maker, in which a filter net 14 having a filter net is provided in a cup 11 and the filter net 14 is provided. A circular contact device (such as a soft mechanism, a description of which is omitted since it is a well-known technique) is provided in the vicinity of the cup 11 to accurately achieve close contact with the cup 11 and to collect the immersion material Y. During use, after the immersion material Y and the extract X are put into the cup 11, the pull rod 13 is lowered to a position where the immersion material Y is suppressed, and The substance Y is immersed in the extract X, and when the extract X is drunk, the immersion Y is prevented from being mixed therein. When such a tea maker pours and drinks the extract liquid X, the immersion material Y does not enter into it and achieves the purpose of drinking and separating liquids and solids. If the soaking is too long, the extract in the lower layer will be too thick or bitter.For example, if the soaking is too long in tea leaves, the exact flavor will be lost. However, in the fruit tea, the extract in the lower layer is too sweet, so if you try to immerse and extract again after you drink the extract X, the immersion Y can be immersed and extracted only once, Subsequent immersion extraction no longer tastes. Such a drawback is commonly experienced by the public.

Another known type of known tea maker has two parts, a cup 11 and a filter basket 15, as shown in FIG. A hole 151 is provided, and in use, the filter basket 15 is placed on the upper portion of the cup 11 and the immersion material Y is put therein. Then, hot water is added to the cup 11 to immerse the immersion material Y in the filter basket 15 for a certain time. After the concentration of the extract X has reached a certain level, the filter basket 15 is taken out and placed on the lid 12. This achieves the purpose of separating the extract solution X and the immersion material Y and controlling the extract solution concentration, but its disadvantages are that the necessary equipment is separated and used, storage and use are inconvenient, and the filter basket 15 is not used. Is taken out of the cup 11 and placed on the lid 12, the water of the immersion material Y in the filter basket 15 drops from the hole 151 to stain the table, that is, there is a drawback in use. .

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In order to simplify the structure, the tea maker of the present invention is designed based on the structure of the well-known integrated tea maker shown in FIG. Although the well-known separable design shown in FIG. 2 separates liquids and solids and does not allow the dip to be immersed in the extract, the structure is complicated and does not meet the simple and simple design purpose. The well-known technique shown in FIG. 1 can suppress the immersion material Y under the filter layer 14 and separate the upper extract X. However, since the immersion material remains in the immersion state, Concentration control cannot be performed. In order to solve such problems, the present invention provides a tea maker having a simple structure, capable of separating liquids and solids and controlling the concentration of the extract.

The functions obtained by the tea maker of the present invention are shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the immersion material Y and the extract solution X are separated into a lower portion and an upper portion of the filtration layer 14 so as not to mix with each other, and air Z is generated at a lower portion, and the extract solution X is separated. I do. The method of use of the present invention is the same as that of the well-known tea maker of FIG. 1, and the immersion material Y is pressed to the bottom end to raise the filtration layer 14 and at the same time generate air Z to separate liquid and solid. In addition, the immersion Y can be immersed and extracted many times to achieve the purpose of controlling the concentration of the extract.

According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, a non-return layer 16 having the same adhesion function as the filter layer 14 is provided on the upper portion of the filter layer 14. A unit 17 is provided, and the extract liquid X has only a single upward flow action. In the present invention, the known pull rod 13 is connected to an air pipe unit 13 a having upper and lower ends communicating with holes 131 and 132. The lower hole 132 is preferably provided between the filtration layer 14 and the check layer 16.

The operation of the present invention is shown in FIGS. Similarly to the well-known method of using a pull rod, the air pipe unit 13a is moved downward to suppress the immersion object Y at the lower part. At this time, the lower extract X moves upward through the check unit 17 of the filtration layer 14 and the check layer 16. When the immersion material Y is suppressed to the bottom end in the filtration layer 14, a state of liquid / solid separation is formed as shown in FIG. Further, when the air pipe unit 13a is pulled up, as shown in FIG. 6, the filtration layer 14 and the non-return layer 16 also move upward in solidarity. At this time, the non-return unit 17 is closed by receiving the water pressure of the extract liquid X at the upper part, and the lower part of the filter layer 14 is evacuated, and the air is evacuated by the holes 131 and 132 of the air pipe unit 13a. Into the space where the immersion material Y can be adjusted by controlling the immersion time of the immersion material Y according to the needs of the drinker if the purpose of the genuine solid / gas separation is achieved. By immersing the substance Y in the same extract X for too long a time, it is possible to cause the extract X to be bitter, to make the extract X too thick or too sweet to produce a non-ideal situation. Can be prevented.

Thus, the present invention not only overcomes the disadvantages of using the well-known integrated tea maker of FIG. 1 but also eliminates the inconvenience of using the separate tea maker of FIG. It combines the strengths of both.

As shown, the check unit 17 of the check layer 16 has a movable valve structure, and in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the check unit 17 has a conical hole in the check layer. A relatively large ball 171 capable of closing the upper end of the conical hole 161 is provided. One straight rod 172 extends downward, and a horizontal rod 173 that can contact the lower end of the conical hole 161 is connected to the bottom end. Of course, the non-return unit 17 can take a variety of different forms, and this embodiment is provided for reference.

When the air pipe unit 13a of the present invention is lifted, the air enters the lower part of the cup 11 through the holes 131 and 132 and is separated from the extract X at the upper part. The lower air does not flow out of the holes 131 and 132. The frictional force of the close contact device that comes into contact with the inner edge of the cup 11 of the check layer 16 and the filtration layer 14 is larger than the pressure of the extract above. Naturally, a simple check valve is provided in the air pipe unit 13a, and when the pull rod type air pipe unit 13a is pulled up, the check valve is opened, and air is supplied from the holes 131 and 132 to the lower part of the cup 11 through the holes 131 and 132. When the vacuum is drawn and the lifting is stopped, the check valve of the air pipe unit 13a is turned off, so that the lower air can be prevented from leaking from the check valve.

The present invention also provides a structure based on the separated tea maker of FIG. 2 with an improved design and integrated functions of drinking, filtering and dipping. That is, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, one inner cup 19 is provided in the cup 11, an O-ring 18 is provided between the lower portion of the inner cup 19 and the cup 11 as a close contact device, and the inner cup 19 is provided. The filtration layer 14 and the check layer 16 are provided in order from the bottom, the air pipe unit 13a is provided on one side, and the hole 132 below the air pipe unit 13a is positioned below the check layer 16, and the upper hole 131 is formed. Is positioned higher than the liquid level of the extract X. At the time of use, the immersion material Y is placed in the cup 11, the liquid is injected, the inner cup 19 is placed in the cup 11, the pressure is lowered, the air is further pulled up, and the air enters the lower space from the air pipe unit 13a. Achieve the purpose of segregation from the upper extract.

Of course, in the above example, the purpose of air backflow prevention can be achieved by providing an air valve in the air pipe unit 13a as necessary.
