TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to the field of cooking, and in particular to liquid heating vessels.

The comfort pot is used for cooking beverages, providing convenience to users. However, in the conventional maintenance pot, as shown in FIG. 1, the brewing cup 13' is placed in the container body 11' and the brewing cup 13' is covered with a lid 12'. In use, it is possible to implement cooking of the material by adding water into the container body 11' and putting the material to be brewed (eg, tea leaves) into the brewing cup 13' to heat the container body 11'. . This retaining port allows the brewing cup 13' to be removed manually after brewing is finished, but the user often fails to take out the brewing cup 13' in time, or tries to take out the brewing cup 13'. The material is immersed in water for a long time because of unconsciousness, which affects the texture, and the brewing effect is reduced because the material cannot be stirred.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid heating vessel for enhancing the brewing effect of a beverage.

According to one aspect of the present invention, it includes a container body, a cover, and a brewing cup, wherein the brewing cup is located in the container body and is detachably connected to the cover by sealing, and the brewing cup is directed toward an inner bottom wall of the container body. a vessel body assembly having an extending liquid absorption tube installed thereon so that the brewing cup communicates with the vessel body; a base for mounting the container body assembly; and an air pump including an intake pump and an exhaust pump that can communicate with both the brewing cup and are installed in the vessel body and/or base.

In the liquid heating container provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the container body is for containing the liquid, and the brewing cup is for containing the material to be brewed. When the brewing cup equipped with the suction tube is connected to the lid by sealing and further communicates with the intake pump and the exhaust pump, so that the liquid level in the container body exceeds the bottom opening of the suction tube and a water seal is formed, a seal is formed in the brewing cup. space can be built. In operation, the air pump first executes the intake mode and activates the intake pump to suck the air in the brewing cup so that a negative pressure is formed in the brewing cup, thereby sucking the liquid in the container body into the brewing cup through the suction tube to Implement brewing for ingredients. The air pump subsequently executes the exhaust mode, which closes the intake pump and switches to exhaust pump operation to quickly increase the air pressure in the brew cup and discharge the liquid in the brew cup to the bowl body, conveniently and accurately brewing time can be controlled to prevent long-term immersion of ingredients and help to improve the texture of beverages. At the same time, liquid is sucked in using negative pressure and liquid is discharged using positive pressure, both of which increase the fluctuation of the liquid to realize stirring of the material, which helps to improve the brewing effect. In addition, by installing the air pump in the container body and / or base, the air pump can be accommodated and concealed using the space inside the container body and / or base, and the risk of damage to the air pump due to external force is reduced. In addition, it is convenient to clean by making the overall appearance of the liquid heating container simple and aesthetic.

In some embodiments, the intake pump and exhaust pump communicate with the brewing cup through the same air tube.

In this embodiment, the intake mode and exhaust mode of the air pump are not executed simultaneously. Since the intake pump and the exhaust pump communicate with the same air tube, and also communicate with the brewing cup through the air tube, the air flow passage can be shared in the intake and exhaust modes, which helps to simplify the product structure and occupies the space of the air tube. reduces product volume and reduces product weight.

In some embodiments, a check valve is installed at the air inlet of the exhaust pump.

In this embodiment, in addition to restricting the flow direction of the fluid, the check valve may increase the flow resistance in the direction allowing the fluid flow. In order for outside air to flow into the exhaust pump by installing the check valve at the exhaust port of the exhaust pump, flow resistance due to the check valve must be overcome. When the air pump is running in intake mode, the intake pump can not only draw air in the brewing cup, but also create a suction force for the exhaust pump. When the check valve is not installed, the exhaust pump itself that is not operated is equipped with a certain gas barrier property, but often a small amount of air leakage is produced, weakening the suction effect of the intake pump. After the check valve is installed, the flow resistance by the check valve is supplemented as gas shutoff of the exhaust pump, so as to realize the reliable sealing of the exhaust pump and ensure the suction pump's suction effect. When the air pump runs in exhaust mode, the exhaust pump starts working and no longer shuts off the gas, and the check valve can open smoothly to ensure the exhaust pump's exhaust effect.

In this embodiment, in order to maximize the effective volume of the brewing cup, a vent through which the air pump is communicated must be installed at the top of the brewing cup. If the integrated gas passage is directly used to communicate the air pump, a fixed gas passage structure should be installed on the top of the brewing cup and the lid should be avoided, but the space at the top is limited, reducing the size of the opening and lid at the top of the brewing cup. . The gas passage through which the air pump communicates is installed as a first air tube and a second air tube that are detachably connected by sealing, and are embedded in the container body layer and the cover, respectively, to create a gas passage structure (i.e., the second air tube) at the top of the brewing cup. air tube) can be integrated into the lid, that is, the gas passage structure and the lid do not need to avoid each other, which can increase the size of the brewing cup upper opening and the lid, making it easier to take out and put ingredients, and clean the brew cup. Not only is it convenient to execute the operation, but it is also convenient to implement maintenance of the product by reducing the hygiene blind spot of the brewing cup.

In some embodiments, both the intake and exhaust pumps are installed within the base.

In this embodiment, specifically installing the intake pump and the exhaust pump centrally in the base, on the one hand, allows the center of gravity of the liquid heating vessel to move downward, thereby ensuring the overall structural stability of the liquid heating vessel and reducing the risk of tipping over. lowering; On the other hand, it can reduce the demand for space in the container body layered layer, which helps to reduce the volume of the container body and makes the container body appearance aesthetically pleasing.

2 to 11 are combined below to describe a liquid heating container provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, an embodiment of an aspect of the present invention provides a liquid heating vessel such as a retaining pot. The liquid heating vessel includes a vessel body assembly (10), a base (20) and an air pump (30). Here, the container body assembly 10 includes a container body 11, a lid 12, and a brewing cup 13, and the brewing cup 13 is located in the container body 11 and includes a lid 12 and A suction tube 131 that is detachably connected by sealing and extends toward the inner bottom wall of the container body 11 is installed in the brewing cup 13 so that the brewing cup 13 communicates with the container body 11, ; The base 20 is for mounting the container body assembly 10; The air pump 30 includes an intake pump 31 and an exhaust pump 32 that can communicate with both the brewing cup 13, and the air pump 30 is connected to the container body 11 and/or the base 20. installed within

In the liquid heating container provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the container body 11 is for containing liquid, and the brewing cup 13 is for containing material to be brewed. The brewing cup 13 provided with the suction tube 131 is connected to the lid 12 by sealing, and further communicates with the intake pump 31 and the exhaust pump 32, so that the liquid level in the container body 11 is lowered by the intake tube. When a water seal is formed beyond the bottom opening of 131, an enclosed space can be established within the brewing cup 13. In operation, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 (the arrows in the drawings indicate the flow direction of the fluid, and so do the arrows in the subsequent drawings, which will not be further described), the air pump 30 first enters the intake mode. and operates the intake pump 31 to suck air in the brewing cup 13 so that a negative pressure is formed in the brewing cup 13, so that the liquid in the container body 11 passes through the suction tube 131. Suction into the brewing cup 13 implements brewing of the material. What is shown in FIG. 5 is a state in which liquid is fully sucked into the brewing cup 13 . As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , the air pump 30 subsequently executes an exhaust mode, in which the air pressure in the brewing cup 13 is reduced by closing the intake pump 31 and switching to exhaust pump 32 operation. By rapidly increasing and discharging the liquid in the brewing cup 13 to the container body 11, it is possible to conveniently and accurately control the brewing time, which prevents ingredients from soaking for a long time and helps to improve the texture of the beverage. At the same time, liquid is sucked in using negative pressure and liquid is discharged using positive pressure, both of which increase the fluctuation of the liquid to realize stirring of the material, which helps to improve the brewing effect. In addition, the air pump 30 is installed in the container body 11 and / or the base 20 to accommodate the air pump 30 using the space inside the container body 11 and / or the base 20, Since it can be concealed, it is possible to reduce the risk of damage to the air pump 30 due to an impact from an external force, and it is convenient to clean the liquid heating container by making the overall appearance simple and aesthetically pleasing. It can be understood that installing the air pump 30 in the container body 11 and/or the base 20 means that the intake pump 31 and the exhaust pump 32 can be installed in the container body 11 at the same time or , as shown in FIG. 3, it may be installed in the base 20 at the same time, or one may be installed in the container body 11 and the other may be installed in the base 20. Installation in the container body 11 refers specifically to installation in the multiple layers of the container body 11, not installation in the chamber for containing the liquid of the container body 11.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 3, the container body 11 includes a body 111 and a container cover 112, the upper part of the body 111 forms an opening and at the same time forms a water outlet on the upper side. And the container cover 112 can cover the top of the main body 111 to isolate the upper opening and the water outlet of the main body 111. The brewing cup 13 is specifically embedded in the container cover 112 and engages with a step formed in the container cover 112, and the cover 12 is embedded in the container cover 112 so that the brewing cup 13 ) can be sealed.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 3, a filter net 132 is further installed in the brewing cup 13 so that the material in the brewing cup 13 passes through the suction tube 131 into the container body 11. It is convenient to lower the risk of spillage, ensure intensive brewing in the brewing cup 13, and rationally control the brewing time.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 , the intake pump 31 and the exhaust pump 32 communicate with the brewing cup 13 through the same air tube.

In these embodiments, the intake mode and exhaust mode of the air pump 30 are not executed simultaneously. Since the intake pump 31 and the exhaust pump 32 communicate with the same air tube, and the air tube communicates with the brewing cup 13, the air flow path can be shared in the intake mode and the exhaust mode, simplifying the product structure. It helps to reduce the space occupied by the air tube, thereby reducing the product volume and reducing the product weight. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the air inlet of the intake pump 31 and the air outlet of the exhaust pump 32 communicate with the same air tube, and the air outlet of the intake pump 31 and the exhaust pump are communicated with each other. The air inlets of 32 communicate with the atmospheric environment respectively. It should be understood that the above embodiment indicates that the intake mode and the exhaust mode share an air flow path, and does not limit that communication between the air pump 30 and the brewing cup 13 can be realized with only one air tube. . In other words, after the intake pump 31 and the exhaust pump 32 communicate with the same air tube, this air tube can directly communicate with the brewing cup 13, and through another gas passage structure, the brewing cup ( 13) may be connected.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 , a check valve 321 is installed at the air inlet of the exhaust pump 32 .

In this embodiment, the check valve 321 may increase flow resistance in a direction allowing fluid flow, in addition to limiting the flow direction of the fluid. By installing the check valve 321 at the exhaust port of the exhaust pump 32, in order for external air to flow into the exhaust pump 32, flow resistance by the check valve 321 must be overcome. When the air pump 30 is running in intake mode, the intake pump 31 can not only suck air in the brewing cup 13, but also generate a suction force for the exhaust pump 32. When the check valve 321 is not installed, the exhaust pump 32 itself, which is not operated, is provided with a certain gas barrier property, but often a small amount of air leakage is produced, weakening the suction effect of the intake pump 31. As shown in FIG. 8 , after the check valve 321 is installed, the flow resistance by the check valve 321 can be supplemented by blocking the gas of the exhaust pump 32 to realize reliable sealing of the exhaust pump 32, The suction effect of the intake pump 31 is ensured. When the air pump 30 runs in the exhaust mode, as shown in FIG. ) to ensure the discharge effect of

In some embodiments, intake pump 31 and exhaust pump 32 are diaphragm pumps.

In this embodiment, the intake pump 31 and the exhaust pump 32 are specifically selected diaphragm pumps, which can not only complete intake and exhaust reliably, but also form and release a negative pressure environment and allow accurate computer control. It can be implemented, and it is convenient to implement automatic control of the air pump 30 and helps to accurately control the brewing time.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 , the container body assembly 10 further includes a first air tube 14 and a second air tube 15 in detachably sealing communication, the first air tube 14 is installed in the layer of the side wall of the container body 11 and can communicate with the air pump 30, and the second air tube 15 is installed in the lid 12 and communicates with the brewing cup 13 .

In this embodiment, in order to maximize the effective volume of the brewing cup 13, a vent through which the air pump 30 is communicated must be installed at the top of the brewing cup 13. If the integrated gas passage is directly used to communicate the air pump 30, it is necessary to install a fixed gas passage structure on the top of the brewing cup 13 and avoid the lid 12, but the space at the top is limited and the brewing cup (13) Reduce the size of the top opening and lid 12. Install the gas passage through which the air pump 30 communicates with the first air tube 14 and the second air tube 15 that are detachably sealed and connected, and embed each in the layer of the container body 11 and the cover 12 In this way, the gas passage structure (i.e. the second air tube 15) at the top of the brewing cup 13 can be integrated into the lid 12, i.e. the gas passage structure and the lid 12 need to avoid each other. It is possible to increase the size of the upper opening of the brewing cup 13 and the cover 12, and it is convenient to take out and put ingredients or clean the brewing cup 13, and It is convenient to implement maintenance of the product by reducing the sanitary blind spot of the

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 , both the intake pump 31 and the exhaust pump 32 are installed within the base 20 .

In this embodiment, specifically installing the intake pump 31 and the exhaust pump 32 centrally in the base 20, on the one hand, allows the center of gravity of the liquid heating container to move downward, so that the liquid heating container ensure overall structural stability and reduce the risk of tipping over; On the other hand, it is possible to lower the demand for space in the multiple layers of the container body 11, which helps to reduce the volume of the container body 11 and makes the external appearance of the container body 11 aesthetic.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 , the base 20 is provided with a lower ventilation connector 21 that communicates the intake pump 31 and the exhaust pump 32 at the same time, and the container body assembly ( 10) includes an upper ventilation connector 16 that can communicate with the brewing cup 13, and a lower ventilation connector 21 is in detachably sealing communication with the upper ventilation connector 16.

In this embodiment, based on the case where the air pump 30 is installed in the base 20, furthermore, the base 20 and the container body assembly 10 are detachably in sealing communication with the lower ventilation connector 21 and the ventilation By configuring the upper connector 16, a detachable connection between the base 20 and the container body assembly 10 is realized and the liquid heating container forms a separable structure, further improving user convenience. At the same time, the container body 11 without the air pump 30 is reduced in volume and weight, and in a separated state, the user can easily take out and put in and out of the container body 11, thereby improving the convenience of use. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 11 , a pluggable and matching gas passage is installed in the center of the lower ventilation connector 21 and the upper ventilation connector 16, for example, the lower ventilation connector 21 An insertion tube may be formed in the gas passage hole, and the gas passage hole of the upper ventilation connector 16 is configured as a trumpet hole to induce a guide action to induce insertion of the insertion tube, thereby forming a lower ventilation connector 21 and an upper ventilation connector ( 16) implements gas passage communication. In addition, around the gas passage, a plurality of concentric sealing rings matching the lower ventilation connector 21 and the upper ventilation connector 16 are further installed so that the concentric sealing rings on the lower ventilation connector 21 and the upper ventilation connector 16 By alternately inserting the concentric sealing rings on the top, the sealing connection between the lower ventilation connector 21 and the upper ventilation connector 16 can be realized, and air leakage in the gas passage can be effectively prevented.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11 , the liquid heating vessel further includes at least one of a liquid level sensor 40 and a temperature sensor, the liquid level sensor 40 being connected to the lid 12 or the brewing cup ( 13) to measure the liquid level in the brewing cup 13, and the temperature sensor installed in the lid 12 or the brewing cup 13 to measure the liquid temperature in the brewing cup 13; The liquid heating vessel is electrically or signal connected to at least one of the liquid level sensor 40 and the temperature sensor and the air pump 30, and the controller controls the operation of the air pump 30 according to at least one of the liquid level and the liquid temperature. (50) is further included.

In this embodiment, at least one of the liquid level sensor 40 and the temperature sensor is further configured, and combined with the controller 50 to realize automated control of the air pump 30, thereby controlling the liquid level and the temperature of the liquid. It can ensure precision and improve the brewing effect of beverages. Specifically, a liquid level that is too high means that there is a risk that liquid will enter the gas passage and be sucked into the air pump 30, possibly damaging the air pump 30. At this time, a corresponding control program may be input to the controller 50 in advance. When the controller 50 determines that the liquid level measured by the liquid level sensor 40 exceeds a predetermined warning value, the air pump 30 By executing the exhaust mode of , the liquid level can be quickly lowered to achieve the purpose of protecting the air pump 30 . Liquid temperature can affect the brewing effect, in particular some materials have relatively precise range requirements for the brewing temperature, for example the liquid temperature must be maintained above 94°C. At this time, similarly, a control program corresponding to the controller 50 may be input in advance, and when the controller 50 determines that the liquid temperature measured by the temperature sensor is out of the lower limit of the pre-stored temperature range, the air pump 30 Exhaust mode and intake mode can be implemented sequentially to exclude low-temperature liquid and re-intake liquid that meets the temperature requirement to ensure the brewing effect. What can be understood is that when the sensor is installed on the cover 12, a wired sensor (at this time electrically connected to the controller 50) or a wireless sensor (at this time connected to the controller 50 by signal) can be selected, and the sensor When installed in the brewing cup 13, a wireless sensor can be selected. Similarly, the air pump 30 and the controller 50 may use a wired electrical connection or a wireless signal connection. Optionally, a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the liquid in the container body 11 can be further configured, for example, by installing it on the outer bottom wall of the container body 11 and combining the measurement result to the container body 11 ) to maintain the temperature of the liquid in the vessel body 11 within the temperature range required for brewing, of course slightly above the upper limit of the temperature range, from the brewing cup 13 to the vessel body 11. After the discharged low-temperature liquid and the high-temperature liquid in the container body 11 are mixed, a temperature suitable for brewing may be achieved. The temperature sensor may be electrically connected to the controller 50 or connected by a signal.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11 , at least one of the liquid level sensor 40 and the temperature sensor is mounted on the lid 12 .

In this embodiment, when the liquid level sensor 40 and/or the temperature sensor are installed, specifically installing the sensor on the cover 12 takes up space inside the cover 12 to conceal and conceal a partial structure of the sensor.
