Design Details

Unique Properties
In 2019, the output value of Fujian tea industry has ranked first in China. Traditional Chinese "Kungfu tea" requires a lot of utensils and time to learn tea making skills. Aiming at the current situation of young people not drinking tea or drinking less tea, combined with instant heating technology, identification technology and intelligent Internet of things technology, an intelligent tea drinking machine is developed, which can heat the water instantly and adjust the water temperature .
Inspiration
At present, drinking tea has become a mainstream, more and more people fall in love with it. According to the survey results, the main force of tea drinking in today's society is tea Xiaobai, 20-25 years old and 31-35 years old, tea Xiaoming whose career is on the rise.

They do not like the various choices of tea and the tedious make tea process. Moreover, young people like pursuit of novelty and cool behaviors conflicts. Based on these of users, we combine developed an intelligent tea drinking machine that can instantly heat and adjust the water temperature according to different types of tea. This product has greatly solved the conflict between the work of they.
Challenge
The most difficult part of the product design process is to overcome the main supporting technologies, such as the segmented high pressure solid-liquid extraction technology on the product, What's more, in terms of AI intelligent identification technology, the technology of intelligent identification of tea types and big data matching can be used to match the optimal brewing process and automatically record tea drinking habits through repeated tests.
Realization and Technology
The main technology of the product is segmented high-pressure solid-liquid extraction technology, which lasted for 16 months and lasted for thousands of times of repeated tests and experiments. The perfect formula of various kinds of tea foam shells and the parameters most suitable for brewing process are summarized, and the unique segmented high-pressure extraction technology is finally formed to perfectly restore the traditional tea flavor, which refers to the design of instant heating pipeline, drinking fresh hot water at any time, eliminating thousands of boiling water; AI intelligent identification, intelligent identification of tea types, matching the optimal brewing process...
Operation and Interaction
The first step is to connect the power supply of the product, and the product is in standby mode. The second step is is to open the metal cover plate at the bottom of the product and open it up.At this time, you can see a filling groove .The third step is "tea bubble" into the filling tank. The fourth step is to cover the metal cover plate on the top of the product, put the cup on the sink and aim at the tea outlet.The fifth step is to touch the start button to make tea.
