[0041] In related technologies, a juicer includes a juicing cup, a feeding cup, a lid, and a screw. The screw is rotatably mounted inside the juicing cup, and the feeding cup is connected to it. The lid is rotatably connected to the feeding cup to open or close the feeding inlet. The lid has a first latch, and the feeding cup has a second latch. When the lid closes the feeding inlet, the first and second latches engage. When the user opens the feeding inlet, they need to manually separate the first and second latches, which is laborious and inconvenient.

[0042] Reference Figures 3 to 5 According to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, a cup assembly includes a cup body 100, a handle 200, a lid 300, and a pressing member 400. The cup body 100 has a first cavity 110 and a feed inlet communicating with the cavity. The side wall of the first cavity 110 has a through hole 120. The handle 200 is connected to the outer periphery of the cup body 100 and has a second cavity 210 communicating with the through hole 120. The lid 300 is rotatably connected to the cup body 100 to have an open state with the feed inlet open or a closed state with the feed inlet closed. The pressing member 400... The cup body 100 and the lid 300 are at least partially movably disposed within the second cavity 210. A locking structure is provided between the cup body 100 and the lid 300. Part of the locking structure is accommodated within the through hole 120. The locking structure is used to restrict the lid 300 from switching from the closed state to the open state. When the pressing member 400 moves, it can unlock the lid 300. In this way, the user can unlock the lid 300 by pressing the pressing member 400 to disconnect the locking structure. This eliminates the need for the traditional method of manually separating the first and second buckles to unlock the lid 300, which is more labor-saving and convenient for the user.

[0043] For example, when the cover 300 is in the closed state, the locking structure is engaged to lock the cover 300. When the cover 300 is switched from the closed state to the open state, the user can press the pressing member 400 to move the pressing member 400. The pressing member 400 can drive the locking structure to disengage, so that the cover 300 can be switched from the closed state to the open state. This eliminates the need for the traditional method of manually separating the first and second latches to unlock the cover 300, which is more labor-saving and convenient for users.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the locking structure includes a buckle 310 disposed on the cover 300. When the cover 300 is in the closed state, the buckle 310 engages with the side wall of the through hole 120. The pressing member 400 is used to disengage the buckle 310 from the through hole 120. When the cover 300 is in the closed state, the buckle 310 engages with the side wall of the through hole 120. When the cover 300 is switched from the closed state to the open state, the user can press the pressing member 400 to move the pressing member 400 in the direction close to the through hole 120. The pressing member 400 can drive the buckle 310 out of the through hole 120, thereby disengaging the locking structure. The cover 300 can be switched from the closed state to the open state with less effort and is convenient for the user.

[0045] As another implementation, the locking structure can also be provided between the pressing member 400 and the cover 300. For example, the locking structure includes a sliding member and a buckle provided on the cover 300. The sliding member is slidably provided in the second cavity 210. One end of the sliding member is provided with a locking part. When the cover is in the closed state, the locking part engages with the buckle 310. The pressing member 400 abuts against the sliding member to drive the sliding member to slide, so that the sliding member separates from the buckle 310, and the cover 300 can be rotated to switch the cover 300 from the closed state to the open state.

[0046] It should be noted that the cover 300 may also be provided with a slot, and the snap-fit ​​part snaps into the side wall of the slot, which can also lock the cover 300. This is not a limitation.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, a first elastic member 510 is provided between the lid 300 and the cup body 100. The first elastic member 510 is used to switch the lid 300 from a closed state to an open state, so that the lid 300 can automatically switch from a closed state to an open state.

[0048] For example, the first elastic element 510 is a component such as a torsion spring that can undergo elastic deformation in the circumferential direction. One end of the first elastic element 510 abuts against the cover 300, and the other end of the first elastic element 510 abuts against the cup body 100. When the cover 300 is in the closed state, the first elastic element 510 is compressed. When the latch 310 exits the through hole 120, the elastic potential energy of the first elastic element 510 drives the cover 300 to rebound, so that the cover 300 can automatically switch from the closed state to the open state.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, a second elastic member 520 is also included. The second elastic member 520 is disposed between the pressing member 400 and the cup body 100. The second elastic member 520 is used to move the pressing member 400 in a direction away from the buckle 310, so that the pressing member 400 can automatically reset, which can facilitate the user's next use.

[0050] For example, the second elastic element 520 is a compression spring or a rubber component that can undergo axial elastic deformation. One end of the second elastic element 520 abuts against the pressing element 400, and the other end abuts against the cup body 100. When the user presses the pressing element 400, the second elastic element 520 is compressed. When the user releases the pressing element 400, the pressing element 400 can automatically reset, which can facilitate the user's next use.

[0051] As another implementation, the second elastic member 520 may also be provided between the pressing member 400 and the handle 200, which will not be described in detail here.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cover 300 includes a main body 320 and an extension 330 connected to the main body 320. The main body 320 is rotatably connected to the cup body 100. Along the axial direction of the cup body 100, the projection of the extension 330 coincides with the projection of the handle 200. The user can press the extension 330 to make the buckle 310 engage with the side wall of the through hole 120. The maximum distance between the extension 330 and the pivot connected to the main body 320 is longer, which is more labor-saving and convenient for the user to operate.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, the extension 330 and the main body 320 are an integral structure, which can reduce the number of molds, thereby reducing the production and manufacturing cost of the molds and thus reducing the production and manufacturing cost of the cup body assembly.

[0054] For example, the extension 330 and the main body 320 can be integrally molded by injection molding, which can reduce the number of molds, thereby reducing the production and manufacturing costs of the molds and thus reducing the production and manufacturing costs of the cup body components.

[0055] It should be noted that the extension 330 and the main body 320 can also be connected by welding, wherein the welding method includes, but is not limited to, resistance welding, laser welding or ultrasonic welding.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, a trigger 600 is also included. The trigger 600 is movably disposed in the second cavity 210. The second cavity 210 has a first clearance hole 220. The extension 330 is provided with a trigger part 340. When the cover 300 is in the closed state, the trigger part 340 abuts against the upper end of the trigger 600. The lower end of the trigger 600 extends to the outside of the handle 200 through the first clearance hole 220, thereby improving the safety of the juicer.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2It should be noted that the juicer includes a base, a juicing cup 610, a screw body 620, and a cup assembly. The base is equipped with a drive unit and a micro switch. The drive unit is a stepper motor or a servo motor, and the micro switch is used to control the start and stop of the drive unit. The juicing cup 610 is mounted on the base. The screw body 620 is rotatably disposed inside the juicing cup 610 and connected to the output shaft of the drive unit. The cup body 100 is connected to the juicing cup 610. When the cover 300 is in the closed state, the lower end of the trigger 600 triggers the micro switch, so that the drive unit can drive the screw body 620 to rotate. When the cover 300 is in the open state, the trigger 600 cannot trigger the micro switch, and the drive unit stops working, which can prevent the user from being injured by the screw body 620, thereby improving the safety of using the juicer.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, the handle 200 is provided with a second clearance hole 230 that communicates with the second cavity 210. When the cover 300 is in the closed state, the trigger part 340 passes through the second clearance hole 230, making the structure of the cup assembly compact and able to hide the trigger 600 without exposing the trigger 600.

[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, two trigger parts 340 are configured, and the two trigger parts 340 are arranged opposite each other to form a guide channel 341. A portion of the pressing member 400 is disposed in the guide channel 341, which can guide the pressing member 400 so that the pressing member 400 moves in a preset direction, thereby improving the movement stability of the pressing member 400.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, the extension 330 is provided with a plurality of protective parts arranged side by side at intervals on the side opposite to the handle 200, which makes it convenient for the user to press the extension 330.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 According to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, the juicer includes a base, a juicing cup 610, a screw body 620, and a cup assembly according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention. The base is provided with a driving member, the juicing cup 610 is provided with a juicing chamber 611, the juicing chamber 611 has a pulp discharge port 613 and a juice outlet 612, the screw body 620 is rotatably disposed in the juicing chamber 611 and connected to the output shaft of the driving member, and the cup body 100 is detachably connected to the juicing cup 610. The user can release the latch 310 from the through hole 120 by pressing the pressing member 400, which eliminates the traditional method of manually separating the first latch 310 and the second latch 310 to unlock the cover 300, which is more labor-saving and convenient for the user.

[0062] For example, when the cover 300 is in the closed state, the latch 310 engages with the side wall of the through hole 120. When the cover 300 is switched from the closed state to the open state, the user can press the pressing member 400 to move the pressing member 400 in the direction close to the latch 310. One end of the pressing member 400 can push the latch 310 to move in the direction of exiting the through hole 120, so that the latch 310 exits the through hole 120, and the cover 300 can be switched from the closed state to the open state. This eliminates the need for the traditional method of manually separating the first latch 310 and the second latch 310 to unlock the cover 300, which is more labor-saving and convenient for users.

[0063] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0064] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
