It should be noted that the water supply device 2 is used for water supply to the tea receiving area 11 for discharging, and does not mean that there is water in the water supply device 2, but that the water supply device 2 uses water during use, and the pouring tea mechanism is used. 41 is used for receiving tea leaves discharged from the tea storage tank 5, and does not indicate that tea leaves must be present in the tea storage tank 5, but indicates that the tea storage tank 5 will be placed with tea leaves during use, that is, the protection of the present invention The water supply unit 2 and the tea storage tank 5 are provided instead of the water supply unit 2 containing water and the tea storage tank 5 containing tea leaves. The first discharge port 51 may be a solenoid valve.

[0053] In order to enhance the compactness of the whole machine, as shown in FIG. 1 , the control panel 3 is embedded in a side surface of an upper portion of the casing 1 , and the receiving cavity 12 is disposed above the inside of the casing 1 . The water supply device 2 is disposed below the inside of the casing 1; and the tea receiving area 11 is disposed below the accommodating chamber 12, and the tea outlet 121 is disposed above the tea receiving area 11.

[0054] In addition, the rotating shaft of the main motor 43 may be directly coupled to the end of the support plate 42, or an external structure such as a coupling and a reduction gear may be added between the two, that is, the main motor 43 is illustrated. The connection between the support plate 42 and the support plate 42 is not unique, as long as the main motor 43 can be driven to rotate the support plate 42.

[0055] Further, the pouring tea mechanism 41 of the present invention can adopt various implementation manners. The first preferred manner of the pouring tea mechanism 41 is as shown in FIG. 2, and the pouring tea mechanism 41 includes the secondary motor 411 and The first sub-motor 411 is disposed on the support plate 42. The rotation shaft of the sub-motor 411 is fixedly coupled to the first weighing cup 412 in a horizontal direction, so that the sub-motor 411 can be The first teacup 4 12 is turned upside down to pour out the tea leaves. It should be noted that the sub-motor 411 can drive the first weighing cup 412 to flip. Pour out the tea leaves. It does not mean that the tea cups 412 must be filled with tea leaves. Instead, the tea cups 412 will be filled with tea during the use. The sub-motor 411 will drive the first cup in this case. 412 flipping out the tea leaves, indicating that the present invention protects the first weigh cup 412, rather than the first weigh cup 412 containing tea leaves.

[0056] From the first preferred embodiment of the pouring tea mechanism 41, the default state of the first teacup 412 is that the cup mouth is facing upward, and after the sub motor 411 is rotated, the first weighing cup 412 will be generated in the vertical direction. Rotating, so that the cup opening of the first weighing cup 412 is turned downward, thereby realizing pouring tea leaves; wherein, the first weighing cup 41 2 does not need to be vertically downward at the cup mouth of the inverted tea leaf, and can also be inclined In the downward state, the tea leaves are poured, as long as the tea leaves can be poured out smoothly. In addition, in order to realize that the first cup 412 can pour the tea leaves, the rotating shaft of the sub-motor 411 is fixedly coupled with the cup wall of the first weighing cup 412, but This does not limit that the rotating shaft of the sub-motor 411 can only be fixedly coupled to the cup wall of the first weighing cup 412. For example, the rotating shaft of the sub-motor 411 can also be coupled with the cup bottom of the first weighing cup 412, as long as the first weighing cup 412 can be realized. The function of pouring tea leaves is fine.

[0057] Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the present invention is capable of accurately adding the quantitative tea leaves, and the bottom of the first weighing cup 412 is provided with a weight for measuring the weight of the tea leaves in the first weighing cup 412. Sensor 413

. It should be noted that the bottom of the first weighing cup 412 is provided with a weight sensor 413 for measuring the weight of the tea in the first weighing cup 412, which does not mean that the first weighing cup 412 must be filled with tea leaves, but the first name is explained. The tea cup 412 may be filled with tea leaves during use, and the weight sensor 413 will measure the weight of the tea leaves in the first weighing cup 412 in this case, that is, the present invention protects the first weighing cup 412 instead of being installed. The first name of the tea is ₄₁₂ .

[0058] During use, when the tea leaves are poured into the first weighing cup 412, the tea leaves will exert a certain force on the bottom of the first weighing cup 412, and the weight sensor 413 can detect the first by sensing the force. The weight of the tea leaves in the teacup 412 is referred to. Of course, the method for measuring the weight of the tea in the first weighing cup 412 is not unique. For example, the weight sensor 413 can also be disposed on the tea storage tank 5. The first weighing cup 412 can be known by sensing the weight change of the tea storage tank 5. The weight of the tea leaves, but it is necessary to set the weight sensor on each of the tea storage tanks 5, which greatly increases the cost; or the infrared sensor is used to detect the height of the tea accumulation in the tea storage tank 5 or the first weighing cup 412, thereby calculating The weight of the tea leaves in the first cup 412, but the density of the various tea leaves is different, which will lead to complicated and intricate calculation process, especially when the infrared sensor is installed in the tea storage tank 5, which will require the storage of each tea. Tank 5 is equipped with an infrared sensor, greatly The cost is increased. In summary, the present invention provides the weight sensor 413 on the first weighing cup 412, which is accurate in measurement, and only needs to be provided with a weight sensor 413, which is low in cost and is a more preferable solution.

[0059] Further, a second preferred manner of the tea pouring mechanism 41 of the present invention is as shown in FIG. 3, the pouring tea mechanism 41 includes a second weighing cup 414, and the cup of the second weighing cup 414 The cup wall of the second weighing cup 414 is fixedly coupled to the end of the receiving plate 42 , and the cup bottom of the second weighing cup 414 is provided with a second discharging opening 415 that can be closed. . The second discharge port 415 may be a solenoid valve.

[0060] In the second preferred manner of the tea pouring mechanism 41, after the second teacup 414 receives the tea leaves, the second discharging port 415 can be used to pour the tea leaves, without the use of the motor, and the structure is simpler; A weight sensor can also be provided in the manner, which is arranged in the same manner as the first preferred mode of the pouring tea mechanism 41.

[0061] Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rotating shaft of the main motor 43 is vertically arranged upward, the receiving plate 42 is arranged in a horizontal direction, and the end portion of the receiving plate 42 is The rotating shafts of the main motor 43 are vertically coupled to each other such that the main motor 43 can drive the pouring mechanism 41 to perform circumferential movement on a horizontal plane.

[0062] Obviously, this method only needs to use the main motor 43 and the support plate 42 to realize the circumferential movement of the pouring tea mechanism 41 on the horizontal plane, and the structure is simple and compact, which can not only effectively control the manufacturing cost, but also if the failure occurs later. It is also easy to find overhaul.

[0063] Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the tea selection mechanism 4 further includes a support platform 44, the main motor 43 is disposed under the support platform 44, and the support plate 42 is disposed at the Above the support platform 44, the rotating shaft of the main motor 43 is fixedly coupled to the end of the support plate 42 through the support platform 44.

[0064] This is because the support plate 42 is only coupled to the rotating shaft of the main motor 43 at one end, and the pouring tea mechanism 41 is disposed at the other end of the receiving plate 42. Since the distance between the two ends of the receiving plate 42 is long, In the case where the pouring tea mechanism 41 applies pressure to the support plate 42 for a long period of time, the support plate 42 may be bent, the rotation of the support plate 42 and the rotating shaft of the main motor 43 may be loosened, etc.; and after the support platform 44 is added, the support platform 44 is supported. The support force is almost applied to the support plate 42 as a whole, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the bending of the support plate 42 and the loose coupling of the support plate 42 and the main motor 43, and greatly enhancing the stability and durability of the tea selection mechanism 4. In addition, the support platform 44 functions to support the support plate 42. Therefore, the connection relationship between the support platform 44 and the main motor 43 is not limited, and the support platform 44 can be fixedly coupled with the main motor 43 so that the support platform 44 cannot rotate. , can also The support platform 44 and the main motor 43 have an active coupling relationship, so that the support platform 44 can be rotated, but regardless of the connection mode, as long as the support platform 44 can support the support plate 42 should also belong to the present invention. The scope of protection.

[0065] Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the top of the tea storage tank 5 is provided with a can lid 52, and the can lid 52 is provided with a stirring motor 53, and the rotating shaft of the stirring motor 53 is coupled with a spiral stirring. A rod 54, the spiral stirring rod 54 is disposed in the tea storage tank 5.

[0066] During the storage of the tea leaves, there may be a phenomenon in which the tea leaves are bonded into a block, which may block the first discharge port 51 of the tea storage tank 5, thereby causing the tea leaves to be taken out to the tea receiving area 11 Take a step back and say that the pieces of tea may be sent to the tea-storing area 11 smoothly, but the block of tea is difficult to soak, which leads to poor tea making, and the block of tea also causes a bad user experience. Let users think that the quality of tea is poor, stored too long, not suitable for drinking. Therefore, the present invention provides a spiral stirring rod 54 in the tea storage tank 5, which can break up the agglomerated tea leaves, ensuring the smooth discharge of the tea leaves and good tea making effect, ensuring the best engraving of the user. Tea making experience.

[0067] In addition, as can be seen from FIG. 4, the lower portion of the tea storage tank 5 is funnel-shaped, so only a small volume of tea leaves can reach the bottom of the tea storage tank 5, and the bulky piece of tea leaves will continue to stay at The upper portion is broken by a screw agitating rod 54 to ensure that the tea leaves can be completely broken.

Further, oxidation is one of the causes of the aging of the tea leaves. Therefore, the tea leaves should be prevented from coming into contact with the air. Therefore, the present invention can also provide a sealing ring at the joint of the can lid 52 and the tea storage tank 5. Thereby, the sealing property of the tea storage tank 5 is improved.

[0069] Further, a tea amount detector may be disposed on the tea storage tank 5, and the tea amount detector is configured to detect whether the tea leaves in the tea storage tank 5 are used up, and send an alarm signal after the tea leaves are exhausted, This reminds the staff and the 吋 to purchase the tea supplement; wherein the tea amount detector can be a photosensitive sensor, a weight sensor or an infrared sensor.

[0070] In the above manner, the alarm signal may be sent to the background workstation of the staff member, or may be sent to the control panel 3, and may be sent to the background workstation and the control panel 3 of the staff member; in particular, when the control panel is 3 When the alarm signal is received, a message may be sent to remind the user which tea leaves have been used up, and the user is prevented from wasting the time due to the selection of the used tea leaves.

[0071] Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a teapot mount 6 is further fixed in the accommodating cavity 12, and the tea canister The mounting seat 6 is disposed above the tea selection mechanism 4, and a plurality of loop sleeves 61 are disposed around the teapot mount 6, and the plurality of loop sleeves 61 are arranged adjacent to the periphery of the teapot mount 6. Arranged, the loop sleeves 61 are all placed above the movement track of the pouring tea mechanism 41; each of the tea storage tanks 5 is correspondingly mounted in one of the loop sleeves 61.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, a humidity controller 7 is further disposed in the accommodating chamber 12, and the humidity controller 7 is used to control the humidity in the accommodating chamber 12.

[0073] Tea preservation is a very important link. In a humid environment, tea leaves are prone to agglomeration and deterioration. In order to solve this problem, the present invention controls the humidity in the accommodating chamber 12 through the humidity controller 7, thereby ensuring long-term tea leaves. In a dry environment, the agglomeration and deterioration of the tea leaves are avoided.

Further, a temperature controller may be disposed in the accommodating cavity 12, and the temperature controller is configured to control the temperature in the accommodating cavity 12.

[0075] The temperature of tea preservation is very important, because the amino acids, catechins, vitamins and the like in the tea will gradually oxidize with the increase of temperature, causing the tea to lose its fresh taste, the tea taste is light, and the temperature of the tea will be stored. Controlling the proper range, the original color and aroma of the tea can be maintained for a long time; therefore, the temperature controller can further improve the preservation quality of the tea.

[0076] Further, as shown in FIG. 1 , the accommodating chamber 12 is further provided with a tea output chute 8 , and the tea output chute 8 is obliquely disposed above the tea outlet 121 , and the tea leaves are The output chute 8 is placed below the movement locus of the pouring tea mechanism 41.

[0077] Since the tea leaves are directly poured out from the tea outlet 121, it may splash around, which not only wastes the tea leaves, but also causes the tea-receiving area 11 to be untidy and affects the user's experience. Therefore, the present invention can carry out the tea through the tea output chute 8. Convergence collection, so that the tea is poured into the user's cup in an orderly manner, avoiding the splash of tea, thereby improving the user experience.

[0078] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the water supply device 2 includes a water tank 21, a water pump 22, a first valve 23, a heating module, and a water outlet 24; the upper portion of the water tank 21 is provided with a water inlet and a lower portion is provided. a drain port; an input end of the water pump 22 is connected to the drain port, an output end of the water pump 22 is connected to the water outlet 24; the first valve 23 is disposed at the water pump 22 The heating module is disposed on a passage in which the water pump 22 and the water outlet 24 are connected, and the heating module is configured to heat the water discharged from the output end of the water pump 22 The water outlet 24 is disposed in the tea receiving area 11. Among them, The first valve 23 can be a solenoid valve.

[0079] Of course, the selection of the heating module is not unique, and a conventional electric heating tube, a heating wire, or the like may be used. In the embodiment, the heating module is an ion heater 25, and the ion heater 25 The ion heater 25 has the following beneficial effects on the passage of the first valve 23 and the water outlet 24: [0080] 1. Because it has no loss of heat conduction and heat radiation, the electrothermal conversion efficiency is high;

[0081] 2. The safety performance is good, and the zero phase protection technology is adopted to realize the non-leakage technology which is difficult to realize by other electrothermal technologies;

[0082] 3. The thermal inertia is small, the temperature rises and the temperature falls rapidly, and other heating technologies are difficult to achieve;

[0083] 4, long service life, and not afraid of dry burning.

[0084] In particular, the water of the prior art often needs to be boiled repeatedly, and the repeatedly boiled water has destroyed the water molecules, and the nutrition is not more than one-time boiling water, because the water is repeatedly boiled, the nitrous acid, the acid ions and the arsenic in the water, etc. The concentration of harmful substances is relatively increased. After drinking boiled water for a long time, it will cause the methemoglobin in the blood to combine into a methemoglobin that cannot carry oxygen, thereby causing blood poisoning. Therefore, if you regularly drink re-cooked water, it may cause hypoxia, shortness of breath, dull chest, purple lips and nails, or easy to sleep. However, the ion heater 25 used in the present invention heats up quickly, thereby ensuring that the water is ready to drink, and that there is no repeated boiling of water, thereby ensuring the health and safety of the user.

[0085] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper portion of the water tank 21 is provided with an upper water level sensor 211, the lower portion is provided with a lower water level sensor 212, and the water inlet is coupled with a second valve 26; The sensor 211 is configured to monitor whether the water level in the water tank 21 reaches an upper limit height, the lower water level sensor 212 is configured to monitor whether the water level in the water tank 21 reaches a lower limit height, and the second valve 26 is used at the water level. When the upper limit is reached, the height is 吋, and the water level reaches the lower limit and snoring. Wherein, the second valve 26 can be a solenoid valve.

[0097] Step 7. The water pump 22 draws water from the water tank 21, and the first valve 23 is smashed, and the water outputted by the water pump 22 is rapidly heated by the ion heater 25, and the heated water is sent to the user through the water outlet 24. Inside the cup.

[0098] When using the second preferred mode of the pouring tea mechanism 41, the steps are substantially the same as the above-mentioned working process, except that the step 6 is: the second discharging port 415 is snoring, so that the second weighing cup 414 is inside. The tea leaves are poured to the tea output chute 8, and the tea leaves are sent to the tea outlet 121 via the tea output chute 8 to fall into the user's tea cup, and then the second discharge port 415 is closed.

[0099] Through the above work process, the user can directly obtain tea leaves and hot water, and can wait for a long time, not only can satisfy the audience who like different tastes, but also can satisfy the fast-paced life of people. demand. In addition, it should be noted that the function of the control panel 3 is not unique, and may be increased or decreased according to actual needs, for example, the control panel can also control water temperature, tea dosage (such as less, medium, and more), and separately heat up. Water and so on.

The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and refinements without departing from the principles of the present invention. Retouching is also considered to be the scope of protection of the present invention.
