s9, the movable baffle 61 is controlled to close the fan-shaped tea leaf inlet, so that the movable baffle 61 is abutted against the long handle 323 of the residue remover 32, then the filter 31 is controlled to move upwards, the residue remover 32 cannot move upwards along with the filter 31 because the long handle 323 of the residue remover 32 is abutted against the movable baffle 61, the filter disc 321 is separated from the bottom opening of the filter 31, and part of tea leaves fall into the disposable cup body 8;

s10, controlling the movable baffle 61 to move away from the fan-shaped tea leaf inlet, controlling the residue remover 32 to move upwards under the action of the resilience force of the spring 37, controlling the movable baffle 61 to close the fan-shaped tea leaf inlet, so that the residue remover 32 moves downwards, and repeatedly moving the residue remover 32 upwards and downwards for a plurality of times, so that most of tea leaves fall into the disposable cup body 8;

s11, the water supply mechanism 5 is controlled to start, water is added through the water inlet pipe 54 for washing, so that the tea dregs remained in the filter 31 and on the dreg dredging device 32 are all discharged into the disposable cup body 8, the cup body 8 containing the tea dregs is taken away, and the dreg removing process is completed.

The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present specification and the drawings, or any other related technical fields, are intended to be covered by the scope of the present invention.
