A button assembly for controlling the movement direction of the first latch 5 is provided in the receiving cavity.

[0031] By incorporating a button assembly and a snap-fit ​​structure, the button assembly controls the first latch 5 to move away from the first buckle 6, thus separating the cup assembly from the base 1. This facilitates user disassembly and installation of the cup assembly, making it convenient for use and cleaning, and providing a better user experience. The blender of this application does not require rotation during disassembly and installation, avoiding the problems of existing rotary disassembly blenders where the sealing ring 13 experiences high resistance during rotation and requires significant user effort to ensure the cup does not leak after assembly.

[0032] The button assembly includes a first button 7 and a second button 8 that slides opposite to the first button 7. The first button 7 has a first oblique-shaped hole 9, and the second button 8 has a second oblique-shaped hole 10. The first oblique-shaped hole 9 and the second oblique-shaped hole 10 are symmetrical to each other. A lever 15 passes through the first oblique-shaped hole 9 and the second oblique-shaped hole 10, and the lever 15 is connected to a first latch 5. When the first button 7 slides opposite to the first button 7, the lever 15 drives the first latch 5 to move away from the blender cup 2.

[0033] By sliding the first button 7 and the second button 8 in opposite directions, the lever 15 slides along the hole formed by the first oblique waist-shaped hole 9 and the second oblique waist-shaped hole 10, so that the lever 15 moves in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first button 7 and the second button 8.

[0034] The first latch 5 is provided with a guide portion, which is located in the accommodating cavity and below the button assembly. The guide portion of the first latch 5 is in contact with and fits against the side of the base of the lever 15. The lever 15 drives the first latch 5 to move away from the blending cup 2.

[0035] The guide portion has a guide groove and a guide hole. The guide groove is located on the side of the guide portion away from the button assembly, and the guide hole is located on the side of the guide portion closer to the button assembly. The guide groove and the guide hole are connected. The base of the lever 15 is installed in the guide groove, and the other end of the lever 15 passes through the guide hole and is connected to the button assembly.

[0036] The first latch 5 is provided with a reset part, and a reset spring 14 is provided between the reset part and the handle 4. Under the action of the reset spring 14, the first latch 5 drives the lever 15 to move closer to the blending cup 2.

[0037] The fastening structure includes a second fastening structure, which includes a second buckle 11 disposed on the fixed base 3 and a second lock buckle 12 disposed on the base 1, wherein the second lock buckle 12 cooperates with the second buckle 11.

[0038] The inner wall of the first button 7 is provided with a groove 16, and the outer wall of the second button 8 is provided with a rib 17 that cooperates with the groove 16. The first button 7 and the second button 8 slide in opposite directions through the cooperation of the groove 16 and the rib 17.

[0039] The handle 4 has a button assembly mounting cavity in its accommodating chamber for mounting the button assembly. The inner wall of the button assembly mounting cavity is provided with a guide rib 18, which is parallel to the sliding direction of the button assembly. The outer wall of the button assembly is provided with a guide groove 19 that is adapted to the guide rib 18.

[0040] The guide groove 19 is located on the outer wall of the first button 7, and the guide groove 19 is parallel to the sliding direction of the button assembly.

[0041] The cup assembly is detachably mounted on the base 1, and the handle 4 is located on the side wall of the blending cup 2.

[0042] The cup assembly also includes a sealing ring 13, which is disposed between the blending cup 2 and the fixing base 3.

[0043] If the first button 7 or the second button 8 is pressed in one direction, the hole formed by the first oblique waist-shaped hole 9 and the second oblique waist-shaped hole 10 will not move, and the lever 15 will not move away from or get closer to the blending cup 2. Therefore, the first lock 5 cannot be released. Thus, during the use of the whole machine, it can prevent the user from accidentally touching the button components and ensure user safety.

[0044] Working principle of the invention:

[0045] When disassembling the cup assembly, a first button 7 and a second button 8 are provided at the bottom of the handle 4 of the blender, which slide in opposite directions. The first button 7 and the second button 8 slide in opposite directions through a sliding groove 16 and a rib 17. The first button 7 has a first oblique waist-shaped hole 9, and the second button 8 has a second oblique waist-shaped hole 10. The first oblique waist-shaped hole 9 and the second oblique waist-shaped hole 10 are symmetrical to each other. After the first oblique waist-shaped hole 9 and the second oblique waist-shaped hole 10 are aligned, a lever 15 is inserted in the middle. The guide part of the first locking buckle 5 contacts and fits against the side of the base of the lever 15. The opposing sliding of the first button 7 and the second button 8 is converted into the lever 15 moving horizontally away from the blending cup 2, which drives the first locking buckle 5 to disengage. At this time, the cup assembly near the handle 4 has been disengaged. The second buckle 11 and the second locking buckle 12 at the front end of the fixing base 3 are still engaged. At this time, lifting the handle 4 and moving the cup assembly will disengage the second buckle 11 and the second locking buckle 12 of the fixing base 3, thus disassembling the cup assembly.

[0046] When installing the cup body assembly, first insert the second buckle 11 at the front end of the cup body assembly into the second latch 12 of the base 1, and then press the cup body assembly down so that the first latch 5 engages with the first buckle 6 of the base 1 to complete the installation.

[0047] The blender of this application does not require rotation during assembly and disassembly, thus avoiding the problems of existing rotary disassembly blenders where the sealing ring 13 has high resistance during rotation to ensure that the cup does not leak after assembly, requiring users to operate it with great force and resulting in a poor user experience.
