In this embodiment, the control group 40 is disposed below the container body 10, but it is not limited to this, and the control group 40 can also be disposed on the side or above the container body.

依前述之說明，本發明濾杯結構之第一實施例在使用時係將該容器體10跨置於一容器的上方，例如放置在一杯子或一水瓶的上方。而該被動單元312在初始狀態下是位於靠近該固定板32的位置，使該管件20可以在該固定板32與該被動單元312的夾擠下產生形變而封閉其內部的流道，因此，使用者可以在該容器體10內注入液體與需過濾的材料。According to the foregoing description, the first embodiment of the filter cup structure of the present invention uses the container body 10 to straddle a container, such as a cup or a water bottle. In the initial state, the passive unit 312 is located close to the fixing plate 32, so that the tube 20 can be deformed under the pinch of the fixing plate 32 and the passive unit 312 to close the internal flow channel, therefore, The user can inject the liquid and the material to be filtered into the container body 10.

為了方便說明本實施在此以泡茶為例，但並不以此為限，使用者也可以相同的方式泡花茶或咖啡或中藥等等。首先，使用者可以先利用該操作單元設定好該控制閥30作動的時間，例如90秒，然後在該容器體10內置入茶葉與熱水，之後啟動。在90秒倒數之後該控制電路43會控制該控制閥30的開關裝置31作動，該開關裝置31內的記憶合金會產生形變而驅動該移動單元311移動，進而連動該被動單元312移動而遠離該固定板32。此時，該管件20會因該固定板32與該被動單元312之間的距離變大而不再受到擠壓，進而開通其內部的流道。因此，該容器體10內的液體例如茶湯何可以通過該管件20向下流到杯子中而將茶葉留在容器體10內，以達到自動過濾的效果。In order to facilitate the explanation, the bubble tea is taken as an example in this embodiment, but it is not limited to this, and the user can also make flower tea, coffee, or Chinese medicine in the same manner. First, the user can first set the time for the control valve 30 to actuate using the operation unit, for example, 90 seconds, and then put tea leaves and hot water in the container body 10, and then start. After the countdown of 90 seconds, the control circuit 43 controls the operation of the switching device 31 of the control valve 30. The memory alloy in the switching device 31 deforms to drive the mobile unit 311 to move, and then the passive unit 312 moves to move away from the固定板32。 32 fixed plate. At this time, the tube 20 will no longer be squeezed due to the distance between the fixing plate 32 and the passive unit 312 becoming larger, thereby opening the internal flow channel. Therefore, the liquid in the container body 10 such as tea soup can flow down into the cup through the tube 20 to leave the tea leaves in the container body 10 to achieve the effect of automatic filtration.

該開關裝置31在驅使該被動單元312遠離該固定板32一段時間例如60秒之後會，該被動單元312會再回復到靠近該固定板32的位置以使該管件20內的流道再次的被封閉。而其回復的方式可以由移動單元來推動或是由一外加的彈簧來推動該被動單元312回到初始位置。After the switching device 31 drives the passive unit 312 away from the fixed plate 32 for a period of time, for example, 60 seconds, the passive unit 312 will return to the position close to the fixed plate 32 so that the flow path in the tube 20 is again Closed. The recovery method can be pushed by the mobile unit or an external spring to push the passive unit 312 back to the initial position.

而如圖5所示，為本發明之第二實施例，本實施例與第一實施例之不同處在於本實施例中該控制閥中並沒有設置固定板32，而是改以一開關裝置31來取代，因此在本實施例，該管件20係被夾設於二開關裝置31之間，而各開關裝置皆設有移動單元311以及被動單元312，各移動單元311可以驅使各該對應的被動單元312朝相互遠離的方向移動，使管件20內的流道得以被開啟。As shown in FIG. 5, this is the second embodiment of the present invention.
