Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of integrated washing and drying devices, and in particular to an integrated washing and drying device for cups. Background Art

[0002] Currently, teacup cleaning devices generally suffer from a single-function technology flaw. Their designs focus solely on cleaning the inner wall of the cup through water rinsing or physical scrubbing, completely lacking any drying function for residual water stains. After cleaning, users must manually transfer the wet cups to a separate drying device or allow them to air dry. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a cup washing and drying device to solve the technical problems of the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] On the one hand, a cup washing and drying device is provided, comprising: a shell and an air duct assembly, the shell being provided with a relatively independent washing chamber and a drying chamber, a cleaning assembly for cleaning the cups being provided in the washing chamber, and the air outlet end of the air duct assembly being connected to at least the drying chamber.

[0006] Furthermore, the air duct assembly is provided with two air outlets, one of the air outlets is communicated with the drying chamber, and the other air outlet is communicated with the cleaning chamber.

[0007] Furthermore, the air duct assembly includes an air duct shell and a wind shield, the two air outlets are arranged on the air duct shell, and an air supply channel connected to the two air outlets is formed in the air duct shell. The wind shield is arranged in the air supply channel and can move relative to the air duct shell so that hot air can be output from any one of the two air outlets or from both air outlets at the same time.

[0008] Furthermore, the air duct assembly also includes a first power member, a driving end of which is transmission-connected to the wind shield member, for driving the wind shield member to switch between a first state and a second state. When the wind shield member is in the first state, any one of the two air outlets is connected to the air supply channel, and when the wind shield member is in the second state, both of the air outlets are connected to the air supply channel.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the air duct shell is provided with wind-shielding bosses corresponding one-to-one to the two air outlets, and the air outlets are located on the leeward side of the wind-shielding bosses. When the wind-shielding member is in the first state, the wind-shielding member is located on the leeward side of one of the wind-shielding bosses, and the wind-shielding boss is used to block the wind in the air supply channel from passing through the gap between the inner wall on the side where the wind-shielding boss is located and the wind-shielding member.

[0010] Furthermore, the air duct housing is also provided with a first detection component for detecting the position of the wind shield.

[0011] Furthermore, at least one of the air outlets is equipped with an air guide, and the air guide is used to guide the hot air to blow out obliquely downward.

[0012] Furthermore, a liftable cup rack is provided in the drying chamber.

[0013] Furthermore, it includes a driving component and a first connecting member, the cup holder is installed on the first connecting member, and the driving end of the driving component is transmission-connected to the first connecting member to drive the first connecting member to move toward the cavity opening of the drying chamber.

[0014] Furthermore, a cavity cover is movably provided at the cavity opening of the drying cavity, and the driving assembly is configured as follows: when the cavity cover is opened, the driving assembly drives the cup holder to rise through the first connecting member; when the cavity cover is closed, the driving assembly drives the cup holder to descend through the first connecting member.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the interior of the shell is divided into relatively independent cleaning chamber and drying chamber, and a cleaning component is arranged in the cleaning chamber to clean the cups by water flow or mechanical action; the drying chamber is connected to the heat source through the air duct component, and the air outlet end of the air duct component is at least connected to the drying chamber, that is, it is connected to the cleaning chamber and the drying chamber at the same time, realizing the directional delivery of hot air. Its core working principle is: after the cleaning operation is completed, the hot air is introduced into the drying chamber through the air duct component to dry the cup body. During the drying process, the air duct component independently delivers hot air to the drying chamber to ensure drying efficiency; at the same time, the air duct component can also deliver hot air to the cleaning chamber as needed. On the one hand, it can be used to pre-dry the cup drying chamber, and on the other hand, it can be used to dry the cleaning component to avoid mold caused by long-term non-use. This design, through the coordination of the flexible air guide of the air duct system and the physical isolation of the chamber, builds a functionally integrated and process-simplified cup processing solution on the basis of retaining the flexibility of manual operation.

[0050] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and can refer to internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 32 As shown, this embodiment provides a cup washing and drying device, including: a shell 1 and an air duct assembly 2, the shell 1 is provided with a relatively independent washing chamber 101 and a drying chamber 102, the washing chamber 101 is provided with a cleaning assembly 3 for cleaning the cup 15, and the air outlet end of the air duct assembly 2 is at least connected to the drying chamber 102.

[0054] Based on the above scheme, the housing 1 of the device adopts a dual-chamber layout, which is divided into an independent cleaning chamber 101 and a drying chamber 102: the cleaning chamber 101 has a built-in cleaning component 3, which cleans the cup 15 through water impact or cavitation effect; the drying chamber 102 is connected to the heat source through the air duct component 2, and the air duct component 2 can realize the on-demand delivery of hot air to the cleaning chamber 101 and the drying chamber 102. Its working principle is as follows: after the cleaning operation is completed, part of the hot air is directed to the cleaning chamber 101, and the inner wall of the cup 15 is blown for a short time to remove free water stains; after the user moves the pre-treated cup 15 to the drying chamber 102, the air duct component 2 is directed to the drying chamber 102 at full power to output heat to achieve deep drying, wherein the pretreatment step is not necessary and can be omitted as needed; when the device is on standby, the air duct component 2 periodically delivers low-temperature hot air to the cleaning chamber 101, intermittently drying the cleaning component 3 to inhibit the reproduction of microorganisms. This design, through flexible scheduling of airflow paths and differentiated configuration of chamber functions, builds an efficient and hygienic cup 15 processing closed loop while retaining the flexibility of manual operation.

[0055] This application achieves three major technological breakthroughs through the dynamic airflow distribution technology: First, the post-cleaning pretreatment function greatly reduces the residual moisture on the surface of the cup 15, significantly reducing the risk of water stains and dripping during manual transfer. Combined with the efficient airflow design of the drying chamber 102, the overall processing process is streamlined and optimized; secondly, the independent chamber layout combined with directional hot air delivery completely eliminates the risk of secondary contamination, and the active drying function of the cleaning component 3 effectively inhibits the reproduction of microorganisms inside the equipment, and the hygiene standards are significantly better than traditional equipment; finally, compared with the fully automatic transfer mechanism, this application replaces the complex mechanical structure with a low-cost airflow control system. While ensuring ease of operation, it allows users to flexibly adjust the pretreatment intensity according to the material of the cup 15, expanding the application scenarios of the equipment. This technical solution provides an innovative solution that is both economical and practical for the field of tea set care through the efficient use of thermal energy and the streamlined reconstruction of the operating process.

[0056] Furthermore, the air duct component 2 is provided with two air outlets 2012, one of which is connected to the drying chamber 102, and the other is connected to the cleaning chamber 101. In terms of drying efficiency, the dual air outlets 2012 are respectively directed to the drying chamber 102 and the cleaning chamber 101, and can simultaneously remove moisture from the surface of the teacup and residual moisture from the cleaning component 3. Compared with the traditional single air outlet 2012, the drying effect per unit time is multiplied. In terms of service life, the cleaning component 3 is dried in a timely manner, avoiding bacterial erosion and corrosion in a humid environment, thereby extending the service life of the device. From the user's perspective, this flexible drying mode greatly enhances the applicability and convenience of the device.

[0057] In some embodiments, the air duct assembly 2 includes an air duct shell 201 and a wind shield 202, the two air outlets 2012 are arranged on the air duct shell 201, and an air supply channel 2011 connected to the two air outlets 2012 is formed in the air duct shell 201. The wind shield 202 is arranged in the air supply channel 2011 and can move relative to the air duct shell 201 so that hot air can be output from any one of the two air outlets 2012 or from both air outlets 2012 at the same time. In this solution, hot air, or cold air, enters the air supply duct 2011 of the air duct housing 201 under the action of the fan 2010 to be heated. When only the teacups need to be dried, the windshield 202 moves to a position that blocks the air outlet 2012 connecting the washing chamber 101. All the hot air is blown out of the air outlet 2012 connected to the drying chamber 102, creating a strong hot air flow that quickly removes moisture from the surface of the teacups. When only the washing assembly 3 needs to be dried, the windshield 202 moves to a position that blocks the air outlet 2012 connecting the drying chamber 102. Hot air is then discharged from the air outlet 2012 connected to the washing chamber 101, precisely targeting and drying the washing assembly 3. Even more unique is that if both chambers need to be dried simultaneously, the windshield 202 can be positioned in the middle, allowing hot air to be discharged from both air outlets 2012 simultaneously, achieving synchronized operation. The entire process only requires controlling the position of the wind shield 202, which is easy to operate and can meet complex and changing drying needs.

[0058] Specifically, it also includes a first power member 203, the windshield member 202 is arranged inside the air duct shell 201, and the driving end of the first power member 203 is connected to the windshield member 202 for driving the windshield member 202 to switch between the first state and the second state. When the windshield member 202 is in the first state, any one of the two air outlets 2012 is connected to the air supply channel 2011, and hot air is blown out only from the air outlet 2012, accurately drying the corresponding cavity; when the windshield member 202 is in the second state, both of the air outlets 2012 are connected to the air supply channel 2011, and the hot air is evenly distributed and output from the two air outlets 2012, realizing the synchronous drying operation of the drying chamber 102 and the cleaning chamber 101. Through the precise control of the first power member 203, the drying mode can be flexibly selected according to actual needs, the operation is simple and the degree of automation is high, ensuring that the equipment can operate efficiently under different working conditions.

[0059] By introducing the first power member 203 to realize the automatic switching of the windshield member 202, the intelligence level and operational convenience of the equipment are effectively improved. The user does not need to manually adjust the windshield member 202, which reduces the risk of misoperation and improves the user experience of the equipment. Secondly, this flexible drying mode switching mechanism can fully meet the diverse needs in different scenarios. When only tea cups or cleaning elements need to be dried, the corresponding air outlet 2012 can be opened separately to concentrate hot air resources, improve drying efficiency and save energy; and when tea cups and cleaning elements need to be dried at the same time, it can be quickly switched to the synchronous drying mode, saving time and improving overall work efficiency. In addition, the stable drive of the first power member 203 ensures the accuracy and reliability of the switching of the windshield member 202, further enhances the stability and durability of the equipment, reduces the failure rate and maintenance cost of the equipment, and promotes the development of the cup 15 cleaning and drying device in the direction of intelligence and efficiency.

[0060] As an optional specific implementation scheme, the movement of the wind shield 202 can also be adjusted manually, such as providing a handle on the outside of the air duct shell 201, extending the handle to the inside of the air duct shell 201 and connecting with the wind shield 202, and manually controlling the free switching of the wind shield 202. Compared with the automated solution, this solution has more advantages in production cost.

[0061] In some embodiments, the two air outlets 2012 are defined as a first air outlet 2012 and a second air outlet 2012, which are respectively connected to the drying chamber 102 and the cleaning chamber 101. The movement of the wind shield 202 inside the air duct shell 201 is driven by the first power member 203, which is specifically manifested as the rotation of the wind shield 202. When the first power member 203 drives the wind shield 202 to rotate to the first position, the wind shield 202 is aligned with the passage between the first air outlet 2012 and the air supply channel 2011, so that hot air is blown out only from the first air outlet 2012 to dry the tea cups in the drying chamber 102; and when the first power member 203 drives the wind shield 202 to rotate to the second position, the wind shield 202 is aligned with the passage between the second air outlet 2012 and the air supply channel 2011, and hot air is blown out from the second air outlet 2012 to dry the cleaning elements in the cleaning chamber 101. This design achieves separate drying control of different cavities by precisely controlling the rotational position of the wind shield 202, ensuring that hot air can be accurately delivered to the areas that require drying.

[0062] As another optional specific implementation scheme, the movement mode of the wind shield 202 can be sliding. The wind shield 202 slides to the first position or the second position under the drive of the first power member 203. By precisely controlling the sliding position of the wind shield 202, separate drying control of different cavities can be achieved to meet diverse drying needs.

[0063] In addition, the inner wall of the air duct shell 201 is provided with a windshield boss 204 corresponding to the two air outlets 2012, and the air outlets 2012 are located on the leeward side of the windshield boss 204. When the first power member 203 drives the windshield member 202 to be in the first state, the windshield member 202 is located on the leeward side of one of the windshield bosses 204. At this time, the windshield boss 204 plays a key blocking role, effectively preventing the wind in the air supply channel 2011 from leaking from the gap between the inner wall on the side where the windshield boss 204 is located and the windshield member 202. This design ensures the concentration of wind pressure, so that the hot air in the air supply channel 2011 can only be blown out from the corresponding air outlet 2012, accurately aiming at the target cavity that needs to be dried. Whether it is a teacup in the drying chamber 102 or a cleaning element in the cleaning chamber 101, efficient and concentrated drying can be achieved. When it is necessary to switch to the second state, the first power member 203 drives the windshield member 202 to move to another position. At this time, the windshield boss 204 corresponding to the other air outlet 2012 starts to work, blocking the air leakage on the other side, thereby realizing the independent drying function of the other air outlet 2012. By setting the windshield boss 204 corresponding to the air outlet 2012 on the inner wall of the air duct shell 201, and cleverly designing the air outlet 2012 on the leeward side of the windshield boss 204, hot air is effectively prevented from leaking from the gap between the windshield member 202 and the inner wall of the air duct shell 201, thereby improving the drying efficiency and energy utilization. In actual application, this design ensures that the hot air can be accurately delivered to the area that needs to be dried, and whether it is drying teacups or drying cleaning components, it can achieve a fast and uniform drying effect.

[0064] It is worth mentioning that a first detection component 205 is also provided on the air duct shell 201, and the first detection component 205 is used to detect the position of the windshield 202. When the first power component 203 drives the windshield 202 to move in the air duct shell 201, the first detection component 205 monitors the position status of the windshield 202 in real time. When the windshield 202 is in the first state (i.e., located in the first position or the second position), the first detection component 205 can accurately identify and confirm whether the windshield 202 has accurately reached the specified position. This real-time monitoring function ensures that the automatic control system of the equipment can accurately operate and switch according to the actual position of the windshield 202, thereby realizing separate drying control of different cavities. Through the feedback of the first detection component 205, the equipment can adjust the drive of the first power component 203 in time, ensure that the movement and positioning of the windshield 202 are accurate, and ensure the efficiency and stability of the drying process. Moreover, the feedback mechanism of the first detection component 205 enables the equipment to adjust and optimize the drying process in time, thereby enhancing the stability and durability of the equipment.

[0065] Specifically, the first detection component 205 is composed of a first photoelectric sensor 2051 and a first light blocking member 2052. The first photoelectric sensor 2051 is installed on the outside of the air duct shell 201, and the first light blocking member 2052 is also arranged on the outside of the air duct shell 201, and establishes a coaxial transmission connection with the wind shield 202. When the first power member 203 drives the wind shield 202 to change its position in the air duct shell 201, the first light blocking member 2052 rotates synchronously therewith. Due to the precise transmission relationship between the two, the position change of the first light blocking member 2052 can directly reflect the position state of the wind shield 202. The first photoelectric sensor 2051 monitors the movement of the first light blocking member 2052 in real time. When the first light blocking member 2052 enters the detection area of the first photoelectric sensor 2051, the first photoelectric sensor 2051 can quickly capture this signal change. In this way, the control system of the equipment can accurately obtain the position information of the wind shield 202, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of the position of the wind shield 202, and accurately adjusting the operating status of the drying duct based on the monitoring results, thereby ensuring the efficiency and stability of the drying process and meeting the drying requirements of different cavities.

[0066] By introducing the first detection component 205 consisting of the first photoelectric sensor 2051 and the first light blocking member 2052, accurate monitoring of the position of the windshield 202 is achieved, providing a key guarantee for the efficient operation of the equipment. The first photoelectric sensor 2051, with its non-contact detection, fast response speed, and high precision, can capture the position changes of the first light blocking member 2052 in real time, thereby indirectly obtaining the accurate position of the windshield 202. This design not only improves the intelligence level of the equipment, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the equipment, ensuring that hot air can be accurately delivered to the area that needs drying, and improving drying efficiency and energy utilization. At the same time, this real-time monitoring mechanism facilitates the timely detection and correction of position deviations of the windshield 202, reduces equipment failure rate, reduces maintenance costs, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0067] Optionally, at least one air outlet 2012 is equipped with an air guide 206, which is used to guide the hot air to be blown out at an angle downward. When the hot air enters the air outlet 2012 from the air supply channel 2011, the air guide 206, through its unique tilt angle and shape, adjusts the flow direction of the hot air to an angled downward. This design allows the hot air to cover the surface of the teacup or cleaning element in a manner more consistent with the principles of fluid mechanics, forming a uniform and concentrated hot air curtain. In this way, the hot air can not only be blown more efficiently to all surfaces of the target object, but also reduce the direct impact of the hot air at the air outlet 2012, avoiding local overheating or damage caused by direct hot air. The presence of the air guide 206 optimizes the distribution of the hot air to a certain extent, ensuring the uniformity and efficiency of the drying effect, and improving the overall performance of the device. Most importantly, the hot air is lighter, so the downward-blowing hot air can be better diffused upward within the cavity, so that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the cavity, improving drying efficiency.

[0068] The air guide 206 is a one-piece component made of an elastic material. The elastic properties of the air guide 206 are primarily reflected during installation and removal, allowing it to be easily installed at the air outlet 2012. Furthermore, it can elastically deform without damage when subjected to external forces. The one-piece design ensures the structural integrity of the air guide 206, improving its durability and reliability. During use, the air guide 206 continuously guides hot air out at an optimal angle, optimizing the drying effect and extending the life of the device.

[0069] Generally speaking, the air duct housing 201 is provided with a drain port 207 at a lower height than the air outlet 2012. The drain port 207 is used to drain water that has entered the air duct housing 201. When hot air flows in the air supply channel 2011 and is blown out from the air outlet 2012, a small amount of water vapor may enter the air duct housing 201 along with the hot air. In some cases, water in the cavity may accidentally enter the air duct housing 201. Or, if the cleaning chamber 101 is accidentally blocked, water in the cleaning chamber 101 may enter the air duct housing 201 through the air outlet 2012. Because the drain port 207 is located lower than the air outlet 2012, water naturally gathers in the area where the drain port 207 is located under the action of gravity and is discharged outside the air duct housing 201 through the drain port 207. This design effectively prevents water from accumulating in the air duct housing 201, avoiding equipment damage or reduced drying efficiency caused by water accumulation. At the same time, the location of the drain outlet 207 ensures that it can efficiently drain the accumulated water without affecting the flow of hot air, thereby maintaining the normal operation and drying effect of the equipment.

[0070] Furthermore, a water retaining portion 208 is provided in the air duct housing 201. The water retaining portion 208 is arranged on the side of the drain port 207 away from the cleaning chamber 101. When water in the cleaning chamber 101 accidentally enters the air duct housing 201, the water flows toward the drain port 207 under the action of gravity. The presence of the water retaining portion 208 plays a key blocking role. It can prevent water from flowing over the drain port 207 when the amount is too large and entering other locations of the air supply channel 2011, such as the locations where the heating device 209 and the fan 2010 are installed. By providing the water retaining portion 208, the water is effectively blocked and guided to the drain port 207, ensuring that all water can be discharged smoothly from the drain port 207, preventing water from damaging key components such as the heating device 209 and the fan 2010, and ensuring the normal operation and drying effect of the equipment.

[0071] In addition, a thermostat 2011 is also provided on the air duct shell 201, and the thermostat 2011 is used to detect the temperature in the air supply channel 2011. When the thermostat 2011 detects that the temperature in the air supply channel 2011 exceeds the preset temperature threshold, it will immediately trigger the power-off protection, so that the heating device 209 stops heating; or, the thermostat 2011 is electrically connected to the heating device 209. When the temperature exceeds the preset temperature threshold, the thermostat 2011 sends a corresponding control signal to the heating device 209, and controls the heating device 209 to stop working separately. When the temperature drops to within the normal range, the heating device 209 is controlled to start heating. In this way, it will not cause a major impact on the operation of the entire device, and can also ensure the safety and stability of the operation.

[0072] In some embodiments, a liftable cup holder 4 is provided in the drying chamber 102, and also includes a driving assembly 5 and a first connecting member 6. The cup holder 4 is installed on the first connecting member 6, and the driving end of the driving assembly 5 is transmission-connected to the first connecting member 6 to drive the first connecting member 6 to move toward the cavity opening of the drying chamber 102.

[0073] This solution cleverly coordinates the operation of the drive assembly 5, the first connector 6, and the cup holder 4 to achieve the lifting and lowering function of the cup holder 4. Initially, the cup holder 4 is positioned relatively low within the drying chamber 102, with a cup placed on it, ready for drying. When the user completes the relevant operation and wishes to remove the cup, the drive assembly 5 begins operation. Upon receiving the command, the drive assembly 5 activates its drive end and generates power. Because the drive end of the drive assembly 5 is transmission-connected to the first connector 6, this power is precisely transmitted to the first connector 6 via the transmission connection. Driven by this power, the first connector 6 smoothly moves along a predetermined track or path toward the opening of the drying chamber 102. As the first connector 6 moves, the cup holder 4, fixed to it, rises synchronously. When the cup holder 4 reaches a suitable height—a comfortable position for the user to access the cup—the drive assembly 5 deactivates, and the cup holder 4 remains in this position, allowing the user to easily and conveniently remove the cup from the cup holder 4. On the contrary, when the user needs to place the teacup for subsequent operations, the driving assembly 5 drives the first connecting member 6 in reverse, so that it drives the cup holder 4 to move in the direction away from the cavity until the cup holder 4 returns to the initial position for the drying process.

[0074] The lifting structure of the cup rack 4 in this application has significant advantages, effectively improving adaptability, convenience, safety, and space utilization. In terms of adaptability, the traditional fixed cup rack 4 is limited by a single structure and is difficult to adapt to tea cups of different specifications and shapes, affecting the versatility of the equipment. The lifting structure of the cup rack 4 in this application can flexibly adjust the height of the cup rack 4 according to the actual size of the tea cup, so that all kinds of tea cups can be stably placed on the cup rack 4 and the drying process can be completed smoothly. This effectively expands the adaptability range of the tea cup washer and dryer for different tea cups and enhances the compatibility of the equipment with a variety of tea sets.

[0075] In terms of convenience, when taking a cup out of a traditional fixed cup holder 4, the user needs to stretch their arm or adjust their posture, which is inconvenient and can easily damage the cup. In the present application, the driving assembly 5 drives the first connecting member 6 and the cup holder 4 to rise near the cavity, greatly shortening the distance between the user and the cup, making the cup taking and placing operation easier and smoother, reducing the difficulty of operation and the risk of cup damage, and improving the user experience.

[0076] From a safety perspective, with traditional cup holders, when users place or remove cups, their hands can easily collide or rub against the edge of the cup holder 4 or other cups, potentially contaminating clean cups and injuring their hands. The cup holder 4 lifting mechanism in this application allows users to operate near the opening, avoiding direct contact between their hands and the internal structure of the device, reducing the possibility of accidental injury and secondary contamination, and ensuring user safety.

[0077] In terms of space utilization, the cup holder 4 lifting structure of the present application can be lowered to a reasonable position in the chamber during drying, fully optimizing the internal space layout of the equipment and ensuring the drying effect. At the same time, the compact structural design reduces space occupation, facilitates the miniaturization and integration of the equipment, and is easy to install and place, thereby improving space utilization.

[0078] Furthermore, the drive assembly 5 and the first connecting member 6 are connected by a second transmission assembly 7, which converts the rotational motion input by the drive assembly 5 into linear motion to drive the movement of the first connecting member 6. The second transmission assembly 7 can efficiently convert the rotational motion of the drive assembly 5 into linear motion. This conversion not only improves the accuracy of motion transmission, but also ensures the stability of the first connecting member 6 and the cup holder 4 during the lifting process, avoiding jitter or jamming caused by poor motion conversion. Moreover, the design of the second transmission assembly 7 optimizes the power transmission path, allowing power to be transmitted to the first connecting member 6 more evenly and stably, extending the service life of the entire lifting structure.

[0079] Furthermore, the second transmission assembly 7 includes a threaded rod 701 and a threaded sleeve 702. The threaded rod 701 is in transmission connection with the drive assembly 5. The threaded sleeve 702 is sleeved on the threaded rod 701. The drive assembly 5 drives the threaded rod 701 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded sleeve 702 to move, thereby driving the first connecting member 6 to move. When the drive assembly 5 is activated, the power output drives the threaded rod 701 to rotate. Due to the threaded engagement between the threaded sleeve 702 and the threaded rod 701, the rotational motion of the threaded rod 701 is converted into linear motion of the threaded sleeve 702 along the axis of the threaded rod 701. The threaded sleeve 702 is connected to the first connecting member 6. Therefore, the linear motion of the threaded sleeve 702 drives the first connecting member 6 to move in a predetermined direction, realizing the lifting function of the cup holder 4. This threaded transmission method ensures the accuracy and stability of the motion conversion, allowing the cup holder 4 to remain stable during the lifting process and accurately reach the target position, providing convenience for users to take and place tea cups.

[0080] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 5 further includes a base 8, to which the drive assembly 5 is fixedly mounted. A guide structure 10 is provided between the base 8 and the threaded sleeve 702 or the first connector 6, for guiding the first connector 6 and the threaded sleeve 702 to move in a predetermined direction. When the drive assembly 5 is activated, the threaded rod 701 rotates, and the threaded sleeve 702 moves along its axis driven by the rotation of the threaded rod 701. The guide structure 10 provides stable guidance and support for this movement, ensuring that the first connector 6 and the cup holder 4 move smoothly along a straight path.

[0081] Specifically, the guide structure 10 includes a guide post 1001 provided on the base 8 and a guide groove 1002 provided on the threaded sleeve 702. The guide post 1001 is at least partially inserted into the guide groove 1002 to guide the threaded sleeve 702 to move axially. The cooperation between the guide post 1001 and the guide groove 1002 provides reliable directional guidance for the movement of the threaded sleeve 702 and the first connecting member 6, which significantly improves stability and accuracy. The combination of the guide post 1001 and the guide groove 1002 effectively prevents the threaded sleeve 702 from rotating or deflecting during movement, ensuring that it runs smoothly along a straight path. This not only improves the accuracy of the cup holder 4 lifting and lowering, avoids damage to the tea cups due to shaking or jamming during movement, but also enhances the reliability of the equipment operation and extends the service life of the equipment. In addition, this guide structure 10 is simple in design, low in cost, easy to manufacture and assemble, helps to optimize the internal space layout of the equipment, improves space utilization, and makes the structure of the tea cup washing and drying machine more compact and easy to install and maintain.

[0082] Generally speaking, the drive assembly 5 includes a motor 501 and a reducer 502. The axis of the motor 501 is arranged perpendicular to the axis direction of the second transmission assembly 7, and the motor 501 and the second transmission assembly 7 are connected through the reducer 502. When the motor 501 is started, its output shaft rotates, and after the deceleration and torque-increasing effect of the reducer 502, the power is transmitted to the second transmission assembly 7. Since the axis of the motor 501 is perpendicular to the axis of the second transmission assembly 7, the reducer 502 connected in the middle has the effect of changing the output direction, thereby effectively saving the installation space in the vertical direction. While transmitting power, the reducer 502 reduces the speed of the motor 501 and increases the output torque, ensuring that the second transmission assembly 7 can smoothly and powerfully drive the threaded rod 701 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded sleeve 702 and the first connecting member 6 to move in a predetermined direction, realizing the lifting function of the cup holder 4.

[0083] Preferably, a second detection component 9 is also included, which is used to detect the position of the first connecting member 6 and then obtain the position of the cup holder 4. The second detection component 9 can be implemented using a variety of technologies, such as a second photoelectric sensor 901, a magnetic induction sensor or a mechanical limit switch. When the first connecting member 6 moves, the second detection component 9 can monitor its position changes in real time and feed back the position information to the control system. For example, the second photoelectric sensor 901 can determine its position by detecting reflective marks or blocking light on the first connecting member 6; the magnetic induction sensor realizes position detection by sensing the magnetic elements on the first connecting member 6. The control system accurately controls the operation of the drive component 5 based on the information fed back by the second detection component 9 to ensure that the cup holder 4 can accurately stop at the target position, whether it is raised to a height that is convenient for users to pick up and place, or lowered to the initial position for cleaning or drying operations.

[0084] The second detection assembly 9 includes a second photoelectric sensor 901 disposed on the base 8 and a second light-blocking member 902 disposed on the threaded sleeve 702. The second photoelectric sensor 901 detects the position of the second light-blocking member 902 and thereby determines the axial position of the first connector 6. When the threaded sleeve 702 moves along the axis of the threaded rod 701, the second light-blocking member 902 moves accordingly. The second photoelectric sensor 901 detects the position change of the second light-blocking member 902, converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to the control system. Based on the received electrical signal, the control system accurately determines the current position of the first connector 6 and the cup holder 4, thereby achieving real-time monitoring and precise control of the cup holder 4's lifting position. This detection method ensures that the cup holder 4 accurately reaches the target position during the lifting process. Whether it is raised to a height convenient for user access or lowered to its initial position for cleaning or drying, it provides accurate position feedback, ensuring the automated operation of the equipment.

[0085] It is worth mentioning that the first connecting member 6 is provided with a locking member, which is used to fix the cup holder 4 to the first connecting member 6. In the lifting structure of the cup holder 4, the cup holder 4 needs to be firmly fixed on the first connecting member 6 to ensure the stability of the cup holder 4 during the lifting process. The locking member can be a bolt, a second buckle 13034 or other mechanical fixing device. When the cup holder 4 is placed on the first connecting member 6, it is fastened by the locking member to prevent the cup holder 4 from shifting or loosening due to vibration or external force during the lifting process. This fixing method ensures a reliable connection between the cup holder 4 and the first connecting member 6, so that the cup holder 4 remains stable during the lifting process, thereby ensuring the safety of the tea cups during the washing, drying and taking and placing processes.

[0086] Optionally, the cup holder 4 includes a support rod, and the locking member is a first buckle 11. An elastic notch 1101 is provided at the end of the first buckle 11 facing away from the first connector 6. The elastic notch 1101 expands to allow the support rod to pass through when subjected to force from the support rod. After the support rod passes through, the elastic notch 1101 contracts to prevent the support rod from axially disengaging. To secure the cup holder 4 to the first connector 6, the support rod of the cup holder 4 is aligned with the elastic notch 1101 of the first buckle 11, and a certain force is applied to expand the elastic notch 1101. After the support rod passes through, the elastic notch 1101 returns to its original shape due to its own elasticity, tightly locking the support rod and thereby securely securing the cup holder 4 to the first connector 6. To remove the cup holder 4, force is applied again to expand the elastic notch 1101, allowing the support rod to be withdrawn from the first buckle 11, completing the removal of the cup holder 4.

[0087] The locking member adopts the design of the first buckle 11, which brings significant convenience and reliability to the installation and fixation of the cup holder 4. First, the first buckle 11 has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The user can easily install and remove the cup holder 4 without using additional tools, which improves the flexibility of the device. Secondly, the first buckle 11 can firmly fix the cup holder 4 to prevent the cup holder 4 from shifting or loosening due to vibration or external force during the lifting process, ensuring the stability of the cup holder 4, thereby ensuring the safety of the tea cups during the washing, drying and taking and placing processes. In addition, the design of the first buckle 11 can also adapt to support rods within a certain size range, has good versatility and compatibility, and further expands the device's adaptability to cup holders 4 of different specifications. In short, the addition of the first buckle 11 makes the lifting structure of the cup holder 4 more stable and reliable, further optimizing the performance and use effect of the tea cup washing and drying machine.

[0088] It is worth noting that a cavity cover is movably provided at the cavity opening of the drying cavity 102, and the drive assembly 5 is configured as follows: when the cavity cover is opened, the drive assembly 5 drives the cup holder 4 to rise through the first connecting member 6; when the cavity cover is closed, the drive assembly 5 drives the cup holder 4 to descend through the first connecting member 6. A micro switch or angle sensor is integrated at the cavity cover rotating shaft. When the user opens the cavity cover, the sensor triggers the drive assembly 5 to operate, and the drive assembly 5 converts the rotational motion into vertical lifting motion of the cup holder 4 through the first connecting member 6, so that the cup 15 is automatically lifted to an operator-friendly height. When the cavity cover is closed, the sensor signal is reversed, and the drive assembly 5 operates in reverse to drive the cup holder 4 to descend to the drying station. At the same time, the cavity cover sealing ring is pressed against the cavity opening to form an airtight space. This design avoids the complexity of manually adjusting the height of the cup holder 4 and ensures the sealing performance of the cavity during drying operations through real-time correlation between the opening and closing status of the cavity cover and the position of the cup holder 4. Combined with the directional delivery of hot air by the air duct component 2, it improves the convenience of human-computer interaction while optimizing the efficiency of thermal energy utilization, achieving a dual improvement in equipment safety and functional integration.

[0089] In some embodiments, it also includes a mounting seat 12 and a pressure cover assembly 13. A cleaning chamber 101 is formed on the mounting seat 12. The cleaning assembly 3 includes at least one cleaning member 301. The cleaning member 301 is rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 12. The cup 15 to be cleaned can be sleeved on the cleaning member 301. The pressure cover assembly 13 can be pressed on the top of the cup 15; wherein the cleaning member 301 drives the cup 15 to rotate, and there is a speed difference between the cup 15 and the cleaning member 301, so that sliding friction is formed between the cleaning member 301 and the inner wall of the cup 15.

[0090] Based on the above scheme, the mounting base 12 serves as a basic support structure to ensure the stable installation of the cleaning component 3 and the pressure cover component 13. The cup 15 to be cleaned is placed in an upside-down manner, that is, the cup mouth of the cup 15 is placed on the cleaning part 301. The top of the cup 15 is actually the bottom of the cup 15. The pressure cover component 13 presses on the bottom of the cup 15, applying appropriate pressure to fix the cup 15 to prevent it from being displaced or shaking during the cleaning process. The cleaning part 301 can rotate around its own axis. During the cleaning process, the cleaning part 301 rotates, and at the same time, the cup 15 rotates at a different speed due to the friction between it and the cleaning part 301. This speed difference causes relative motion between the cleaning part 301 and the inner wall of the cup 15, forming sliding friction. The sliding friction not only increases the cleaning force, but also ensures that the cleaning part 301 is in full contact with each part of the inner wall of the cup 15, effectively removing stains and residues.

[0091] The embodiment of the present application significantly improves the cleaning effect and efficiency of the cup 15 through the design of the pressure cover assembly 13 and the speed difference. The pressure cover assembly 13 presses against the bottom of the cup 15 to ensure that the cup 15 is stable during the cleaning process and avoid incomplete cleaning due to shaking. The speed difference between the cleaning part 301 and the cup 15 generates sliding friction, which enhances the cleaning force and effectively removes stubborn stains. The device has good adaptability to cups 15 of different sizes and shapes and can meet diverse needs. In actual applications, this design reduces damage to the surface of the cup 15, extends its service life, and at the same time reduces the need for manual intervention, improving the degree of automation and convenience of cleaning.

[0092] It is worth noting that when the cleaning assembly 3 has only one cleaning element 301, the friction between the cover assembly 13 and the cup 15 causes the rotation speed of the cup 15 to be lower than that of the cleaning element 301, thereby forming a speed difference. Alternatively, when the cleaning element 301 drives the cup 15 to rotate through friction, the cup 15 cannot maintain the same rotation speed as the cleaning element 301 due to the strength of the friction between the cleaning element 301 and the cup 15, thereby forming a speed difference.

[0093] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly 3 includes at least two cleaning parts 301 arranged at intervals, the cup 15 is mounted on one of the cleaning parts 301, and the outer surfaces of at least two of the cleaning parts 301 clamp the cup wall of the cup 15, at least one of the cleaning parts 301 is rotatably installed on the mounting seat 12, and the two cleaning parts 301 have a speed difference, so that the at least two cleaning parts 301 respectively form sliding friction with the inner and outer wall surfaces of the cup 15.

[0094] In this solution, in order to further improve the synergistic effect of the two cleaning parts 301 to achieve efficient cleaning, both cleaning parts 301 are rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 12. The cup 15 to be cleaned is clamped between two relatively independent cleaning parts 301, and its outer surface adaptively fits the inner and outer contours of the cup body. The cleaning parts 301 adopt a differential drive design, and the speed difference can be dynamically adjusted through the control system. When performing the cleaning operation, the cleaning part 301 with the cup 15 drives the cup 15 to rotate, and the other cleaning part 301 has a speed difference with the previous cleaning part 301, so that the inner and outer walls of the cup 15 are simultaneously subjected to circumferential sliding friction, thereby preventing the inner and outer walls of the cup 15 from rotating synchronously with the cleaning part 301, ensuring efficient stripping of pollutants while protecting the surface of the cup body.

[0095] This solution significantly improves cleaning efficiency and equipment applicability through a differential synergy mechanism. The dynamic control capability of the differential drive enables precise switching of the inner and outer wall cleaning modes: for tea stains in the deep crevices of the inner wall, the high speed on the inside enhances the centrifugal penetration of the inner cleaning part 301, thoroughly removing dead corners; for stains on the outer wall or residual label glue, the high speed on the outside allows the outer cleaning part 301 to quickly remove contaminants, avoiding the cleaning blind spots of traditional equipment. The contact portion between the cleaning part 301 and the cup 15 can be made of an elastic, water-absorbing material, such as a sponge material, which can adaptively deform to accommodate cups of different sizes. At the same time, the centripetal force balance design ensures the stability of the cup 15 under high-speed operation, eliminating the risk of vibration and falling off.

[0096] In addition, some embodiments can also automatically match differential parameters through an intelligent control system combined with pressure and material perception, which not only prevents the thin-walled cup from breaking, but also optimizes energy consumption distribution, enables a high speed ratio in the rapid decontamination stage, and switches to a low power consumption mode in the polishing stage, thereby improving overall energy efficiency.

[0097] It should be noted that the cup 15 is clamped between the two cleaning parts 301, specifically, there is an interference fit between the cup 15 and the cleaning parts 301 to ensure that the relative friction force on the inside is sufficient to drive the cup 15 to rotate, while ensuring that the friction force on the outside is sufficient to clean the outer wall of the cup 15.

[0098] Furthermore, three cleaning parts 301 are provided, and the three cleaning parts 301 are distributed in a triangular shape, wherein the triangle can be specifically an equilateral triangle or an isosceles triangle. The cup 15 is mounted on one of the cleaning parts 301, and the remaining two cleaning parts 301 abut against the outer wall of the cup 15, and the rotation speed of at least one of the cleaning parts 301 is different from the rotation speed of the other cleaning parts 301. During cleaning, at least one cleaning part 301 rotates at a different speed from the others, forming a multi-level speed difference. One cleaning part 301 drives the cup 15 to rotate, and the other two cleaning parts 301 rotate at different speeds. The cleaning parts 301 with different speeds generate sliding friction with the inner and outer walls of the cup 15. The inner wall is cleaned by the inner cleaning part 301, and the outer wall is scrubbed by the two outer cleaning parts 301. The triangular layout enables the cleaning parts 301 to contact the cup 15 from different angles. Combined with the friction generated by the speed difference, all-round cleaning is achieved to remove stains on the inner and outer walls.

[0099] Specifically, the three cleaning members 301 are a first cleaning member 3011, a second cleaning member 3012, and a third cleaning member 3013. The cup 15 is mounted on the first cleaning member 3011. The second cleaning member 3012 and the third cleaning member 3013 have the same rotational speed. The rotational speed ratio i between the first cleaning member 3011 and the second cleaning member 3012 is less than or greater than 1. In this embodiment, the cup 15 is mounted on the first cleaning member 3011, and the second cleaning member 3012 and the third cleaning member 3013 are symmetrically distributed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle or an isosceles triangle and have the same rotational speed, forming a stable clamping force field, while also saving space and reducing the volume of the overall device. When the speed ratio i (i=n1 / n2) of the first cleaning part 3011 and the second cleaning part 3012 is adjusted to i<1, the speed of the first cleaning part 3011 is lower than that of the second cleaning part 3012 and the third cleaning part 3013. At this time, the second and third cleaning parts 3013 act as high-speed active friction parts, applying symmetrical shear forces to the outer wall of the cup 15 at a high speed in the same direction, while the first cleaning part 3011 acts as a low-speed support platform, enhancing the relative friction between the cup 15 and the second cleaning part 3012 and the third cleaning part 3013 through differential motion, focusing on stripping off pollutants on the outer wall; when i>1, the speed of the first cleaning part 3011 is higher than that of the second cleaning part 3012 and the third cleaning part 3013, driving the cup 15 to rotate at high speed, and the second cleaning part 3012 and the third cleaning part 3013 act as low-speed friction parts, using the reverse friction force generated by the speed difference to concentrate on cleaning the inner wall of the cup 15. The three-point symmetrical layout combined with the synchronous rotation speed of the second cleaning member 3012 and the third cleaning member 3013 ensures uniform distribution of the clamping force, and the dynamic adjustment of the rotation speed ratio i enables the cup 15 to switch between self-rotation and forced rotation.

[0100] This solution achieves efficient and stable directional cleaning through three-point symmetrical differential coordination and speed synchronization control. When i < 1, the second cleaning part 3012 and the third cleaning part 3013 rotate in the same direction at high speed to form a symmetrical shear force field, which is particularly suitable for large-area, efficient decontamination of the outer wall of a wide-mouth cup. The three-point synchronous friction makes the outer wall cleaning more uniform; when i > 1, the high-speed rotation of the cup 15 drives the inner wall and the second cleaning part 3012 and the third cleaning part 3013 to generate differential friction, achieving spiral centrifugal flushing of tea stains on the inner wall of the narrow-mouth cup, and the cleaning efficiency is significantly improved compared to the double cleaning part 301 solution. The symmetrical design of the second cleaning part 3012 and the third cleaning part 3013 with the same speed eliminates unbalanced torque, allowing special-shaped cups (such as multi-faceted cups) to maintain zero-offset rotation at high speed, and the clamping stability is stronger. The intelligent switching of the speed ratio i combined with the three-point elastic clamping automatically adapts to the changes in the center of gravity of the cup 15 (such as a cup with a handle) to prevent uneven contact pressure caused by tilting.

[0101] At the same time, the cleaning assembly 3 also includes a second power member 302, which drives one of the cleaning members 301 to rotate, and rotates the other cleaning members 301 through the first transmission assembly 304, so that the other cleaning members 301 rotate. The first transmission assembly 304 is specifically a gear set, which includes a first gear 3041 coaxially arranged on the output shaft of the second power member 302 and a second gear 3042 coaxially arranged on the other cleaning members 301, the first gear 3041 meshing with the second gear 3042, and the transmission ratio n of the first gear 3041 and the second gear 3042 is less than or greater than 1. The output shaft of the second power member 302 is coaxially connected to the first cleaning member 3011, and is meshed and driven by the first gear 3041 and the second gear 3042 on the second cleaning member 3012 and the third cleaning member 3013. The transmission ratio η (Z1 / Z2) between the first gear 3041 and the second gear 3042 determines the value of the speed ratio i (i=n1 / n2):

[0102] When Z1 < Z2, η < 1, otherwise i > 1, the first cleaning component 3011 rotates faster than the second cleaning component 3012, driving the cup 15 to rotate at high speed, while the second cleaning component 3012 and the third cleaning component 3013 rub against the outer wall at low speed;

[0103] When Z1>Z2, η>1, otherwise i<1, the second cleaning member 3012 rotates at a higher speed than the first cleaning member 3011. At this time, the second cleaning member 3012 and the third cleaning member 3013 act as high-speed active friction members, applying a high-speed shear force to the outer wall of the cup 15. The first cleaning member 3011 acts as a low-speed support platform to drive the cup 15 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby enhancing the relative speed difference between the inner and outer walls.

[0104] The rigid meshing of the gear set ensures a constant speed ratio. The surface of the elastic cleaning member 301 expands adaptively under the differential centrifugal force, fitting the cup wall to form a spiral friction track. At the same time, the three-point symmetrical layout maintains the clamping force balance through the synchronization of the gear transmission to prevent the cup 15 from shifting.

[0105] The fixed speed ratio solution of the mechanical gear set achieves precise differential coordination of multiple cleaning parts 301 through a single drive source, with a simplified structure and stable operation. The gear meshing transmission replaces the independent drive of multiple motors 501, reducing hardware costs and energy consumption. At the same time, the mechanical speed ratio has no electronic speed regulation delay, and the speed control accuracy is higher. The fixed gear ratio design is suitable for standardized production lines to ensure the uniformity of batch cleaning, and the cleaning efficiency is higher than that of the electronic differential solution. At the same time, the modular gear set supports the rapid replacement of gear pairs with different gear ratios (such as Z1=25, Z2=55 switching to Z1=55, Z2=25), realizing flexible switching of speed ratios, taking into account the needs of high-speed decontamination of the outer wall and fine polishing of the inner wall.

[0106] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 3 also includes a cleaning block 303 fixedly mounted on the mounting base 12, and the cleaning block 303 is used to abut the outer wall of the cup 15. When the cleaning member 301 is driven to rotate, the friction between its surface and the inner wall of the cup 15 drives the cup 15 to rotate synchronously, and the cleaning block 303 forms a static friction resistance on the outer wall of the cup 15 due to its fixed installation, so that the actual rotation speed of the cup 15 is lower than the rotation speed of the cleaning member 301, and the two form a dynamic differential. The differential friction effect occurs simultaneously on the inside and outside of the cup 15: the speed difference between the cleaning member 301 and the inner wall of the cup 15 generates a centrifugal scouring force, which deeply cleans the tea stains on the inner wall; the static friction interface between the outer wall of the cup 15 and the fixed cleaning block 303 peels off the stains on the outer wall through relative sliding friction.

[0107] Furthermore, the mounting base 12 is provided with a slot 1201, into which a clamp 305 is inserted. The clamp 305 clamps the cleaning block 303. The clamp 305 is fixed to the slot 1201 of the mounting base 12 via a rigid plug-in structure. The cleaning block 303 contacts the outer wall of the cup 15 via the adjustable clamping mechanism of the clamp 305. When the cleaning member 301 rotates to drive the cup 15, the outer wall of the cup 15 and the cleaning block 303 produce relative motion due to frictional contact: the rigid slot 1201 structure of the clamp 305 ensures that the cleaning block 303 maintains a constant preload in the radial direction, while the elastic deformation of the cleaning block 303 adaptively conforms to the curvature of the outer wall of the cup 15, forming a stable static-dynamic friction interface. For example, when the outer wall of the cup 15 is a concave-convex embossed surface, the cleaning block 303 is embedded in the concave area through local deformation, and the stains in the texture are directionally removed under differential friction; at the same time, the clamping force of the clamp 305 can be adjusted according to the size of the cup 15 to ensure that the contact pressure between the cleaning block 303 and the cup wall is evenly distributed, avoiding local overload and damage to the cup body.

[0108] The slot 1201-style fixed structure also allows for quick replacement of the cleaning block 303, adapting to the cleaning needs of cups 15 made of different materials (such as replacing sponge pads) and preventing scratches on the cup body caused by rigid friction. Furthermore, the design without additional transmission parts reduces the risk of mechanical failure. The modular assembly of the slot 1201, clamp 305, and cleaning block 303 shortens maintenance time, making it particularly suitable for high-frequency, small-batch, quick cleaning needs in household settings.

[0109] It is particularly important to note that the mounting base 12 is also provided with a water spray assembly 14, the water outlet of which is directed toward the cleaning member 301. During the cleaning process, the water spray assembly 14 first sprays water onto the cleaning member 301 to quickly wet it. The wetted cleaning member 301, when in contact with the cup 15, can better perform its cleaning function. The water spray assembly 14 can also continuously spray water, flushing the surface of the cup 15 and helping to remove stains.

[0110] In some embodiments, the pressure cover assembly 13 also includes a bracket 1301, a pressing member 1302 and a second connecting member 1303, one end of the second connecting member 1303 is connected to the bracket 1301, and the other end of the second connecting member 1303 is connected to the pressing member 1302. The pressing member 1302 can swing relative to the bracket 1301 through the second connecting member 1303, so that the cup 15 is always subjected to a downward force and / or a force guiding it to be straightened during the cleaning process.

[0111] The pressure cap assembly 13 not only allows for flexible adjustment based on the real-time state of the cup 15, but also ensures that the cup 15 is always subjected to a downward force and a force guiding it to align during the cleaning process, thereby achieving effective fixation and alignment. These two forces can be set separately or simultaneously, allowing for adaptive adjustment based on actual cleaning needs, thereby expanding its application range. Therefore, this solution has at least three different pressure states.

[0112] The first is that when the cup 15 is tilted, the pressing piece 1302 can be tilted and fixed synchronously. Specifically, when the cup 15 is placed at an angle, or is tilted by external forces such as water flow impact or brush friction during the cleaning process, the pressing piece 1302 can swing and tilt synchronously with the cup 15. During this process, the pressing piece 1302 always presses on the top of the cup 15, continuously applying force to prevent the cup 15 from further deflecting or shaking in the tilted state. This design ensures that the cup 15 can be fixed to a certain extent even in a tilted state, ensuring the basic stability of the cleaning process. This fixing method prevents the cup 15 from deviating from the cleaning area due to loss of restraint, so that the cleaning element can still clean most areas of the cup 15, minimizes cleaning blind spots, lays the foundation for subsequent resetting and thorough cleaning, and does not require manual pressing of the cup, saving time and effort.

[0113] The second is that the cup 15 can be fixed and quickly reset by the pressing member 1302 after being tilted. When the cup 15 tilts during the cleaning process, the pressing member 1302 also tilts synchronously to maintain contact and force on the cup 15. However, unlike the first case, the pressing member 1302 then quickly drives the cup 15 back to the straightened state with the help of the elastic reset function of the second connecting member 1303 or the external reset mechanism. This process can not only correct the tilted state of the cup 15 in time, but also ensure that the cup 15 quickly returns to the optimal cleaning position. In this way, the pressure cover assembly 13 reduces the time that the cup 15 is in the tilted state, thereby reducing the risk of reduced cleaning effect due to tilting. The cup 15 can quickly return to the straightened state, so that the cleaning element can immediately clean the cup 15 comprehensively and evenly, effectively improving the efficiency and quality of cleaning, and ensuring that the cup 15 achieves the best cleaning effect in a short time. In the second pressing state, when the second connecting member 1303 has a reset function, there is no need for an additional external reset mechanism. However, when the second connecting member 1303 only has a connection function but not a reset function, the reset of the clamping member 1302 requires an additional reset mechanism.

[0114] The third is that the pressing member 1302 can swing slightly to continuously straighten the cup 15. During the normal cleaning process, the cup 15 may be slightly disturbed by external forces, which may cause it to deviate from the straightened state. At this time, the pressing member 1302 can swing slightly within its range of motion. This swinging allows the pressing member 1302 to always apply an appropriate corrective force to the cup 15 through the connection of the second connecting member 1303, so that the cup 15 can be maintained in the straightened state under the action of the pressing member 1302. Specifically, because when the cup 15 is tilted, only part of its bottom abuts against the pressing member 1302, so the pressing member 1302 will apply downward pressure to the abutting part of the cup 15, forcing the cup 15 to straighten, that is, making the bottom of the cup 15 completely fit with the pressing member 1302. In this way, the pressure cover assembly 13 can actively fine-tune the position of the cup 15 to ensure that the cup 15 is always in the best cleaning state. This not only improves the uniformity and thoroughness of cleaning, but also reduces the wear of cleaning components and energy waste caused by the unstable position of the cup 15, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning device and reducing operating costs.

[0115] In summary, the pressure cover assembly 13 of the present application can be flexibly adjusted according to the different states of the cup 15 during the cleaning process through at least three working modes, ensuring that the cup 15 is always subjected to a downward force and guided to be straightened. It not only solves the problem in the prior art that the cup 15 is easily offset and causes incomplete cleaning, but also significantly improves the performance and reliability of the teacup cleaning device.

[0116] The second connecting member 1303 enables the pressing member 1302 to at least radially swing relative to the bracket 1301. Radial swing refers to the swing of the pressing member 1302 in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the axial direction, which can be simply understood as swinging within a certain range of the spherical surface. When the cup 15 tilts during the cleaning process, the pressing member 1302 radially swings in the corresponding direction through the second connecting member 1303, following the tilt of the cup 15 and always pressing against it, exerting force to prevent further deviation.

[0117] Furthermore, the second connecting member 1303 includes an elastic member 13031 disposed between the bracket 1301 and the pressing member 1302. One end of the elastic member 13031 is connected to the bracket 1301, and the other end of the elastic member 13031 is connected to the pressing member 1302, so that the pressing member 1302 always applies a straightening force toward the cup 15. The elastic member 13031 is nested between the bracket 1301 and the pressing member 1302 in the form of a compression spring / torsion spring. Its preload force is mainly to enable the pressing member 1302 to maintain a moderate pressure on the cup 15 in the initial state, which is equivalent to enabling the pressing member 1302 to elastically move in the axial direction. Combined with the above-mentioned radial swing, the pressing member 1302 can achieve universal swing, which can adaptively press the cup 15 from various angles. Secondly, when the cup 15 is tilted by external force, the clamping member 1302 swings relative to the bracket 1301, and the elastic member 13031 is deformed (compressed, stretched or torsion) synchronously. At this time, the elastic member 13031 not only continues to provide a corrective force opposite to the tilting direction, but also drives the clamping member 1302 to quickly reset after the external force disappears.

[0118] Furthermore, the bracket 1301 is provided with a through-hole 13011, and the second connecting member 1303 also includes a support 13032 disposed on the pressing member 1302. The support 13032 is slidably inserted into the through-hole 13011. The radius of the support 13032 is smaller than the radius of the through-hole 13011, thereby guiding the elastic contraction of the elastic member 13031 and preventing damage to the elastic member 13031. Structurally, the bracket 1301 is provided with the through-hole 13011, while the pressing member 1302 is provided with the support 13032. The support 13032 is inserted into the through-hole 13011 with a clearance fit smaller than the radius of the through-hole 13011. This design enables the support 13032 to freely swing radially within the through-hole 13011, i.e., to move in multiple directions within a spherical surface. When the cup 15 being cleaned is tilted by an external force, the pillar 13032 deviates synchronously with the pressing member 1302 in the through hole 13011, ensuring that the pressing member 1302 always maintains a pressing contact with the cup 15. This solution produces significant beneficial effects. First, through the sliding cooperation between the pillar 13032 and the through hole 13011, the pressing member 1302 can follow the tilt of the cup 15 in real time, effectively preventing the cup 15 from deviating from the cleaning area during the cleaning process, and ensuring the integrity of the brushing coverage. Second, the gap swing mechanism has both guiding and resetting functions. When the external force disappears, the pillar 13032 naturally returns to the center under the action of the elastic member 13031, driving the cup 15 to quickly reset to the optimal cleaning posture, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. Finally, the radial swing constraint allows the pressing member 1302 to be fine-tuned only in the horizontal plane, which not only prevents the fixation failure caused by axial movement, but also reduces the complexity of the mechanism caused by three-dimensional movement, thereby improving structural reliability.

[0119] Optionally, the elastic member 13031 is specifically a spring, which is sleeved on the pillar 13032 so that the pillar 13032 can guide the direction of movement of the spring. The elastic member 13031 is an annular compression spring sleeved on the outer periphery of the pillar 13032, with its two ends respectively abutting the bottom of the bracket 1301 and the top of the pressing member 1302. This nested layout makes the deformation direction of the elastic member 13031 completely coaxial with the swing trajectory of the pillar 13032, forming a pure radial force transmission path. When the cup 15 tilts, causing the pillar 13032 to swing, the spring produces linear compression in the swing direction, and its deformation is proportional to the swing angle. At this time, the elastic potential energy provides a continuous reset torque.

[0120] In addition, the through holes 13011 and the pillars 13032 are provided in plurality and are connected one to one. The plurality of through holes 13011 are arranged at intervals so that the pressing member 1302 is more balanced and stable when swinging. The bracket 1301 is provided with a plurality of through holes 13011 distributed in an annular array / matrix, and the pressing member 1302 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of pillars 13032, each of which is inserted into an independent through hole 13011 and forms a clearance fit. This multi-point design enables the pressing member 1302 to obtain multi-point radial constraints, and each pillar 13032 can swing independently in the corresponding through hole 13011 to form a distributed kinematic chain. When the cup 15 tilts, the pillars 13032 at different positions produce differential swings according to the local contact pressure, and the uniform top pressure on the cup 15 is maintained through the coordinated deformation of multiple fulcrums. The elastic member 13031 can be distributed and nested (each pillar 13032 has a separate spring) or integrated (a ring spring group is provided at the bottom of the bracket 1301) to provide an independent reset torque for each pillar 13032.

[0121] In some embodiments, the bracket 1301 is provided with a latching hole 13012, and the second connector 1303 includes an elastic connecting plate 13033 and a second latch 13034. One end of the elastic connecting plate 13033 is connected to the pressing member 1302, and the other end is connected to the second latch 13034. The second latch 13034 is engaged with the latching hole 13012, and the thickness of the elastic connecting plate 13033 is less than the width of the latching hole 13012. When the cup 15 needs to be fixed for cleaning, the second latch 13034 is first aligned with the latching hole 13012 on the bracket 1301 and inserted. Since the thickness of the elastic connecting plate 13033 is less than the width of the latching hole 13012, it can pass smoothly and undergo elastic deformation, causing the second latch 13034 to be engaged within the latching hole 13012. At this point, the elastic connecting plate 13033 provides elastic support for the pressing member 1302. When the cup 15 is tilted by an external force, the pressing member 1302 causes the elastic connecting plate 13033 to elastically swing. The restoring force generated by the elastic deformation straightens and secures the cup 15. The elastic deformation of the elastic connecting plate 13033 can adapt to the slight tilt of the cup 15, maintaining the upward pressure and maintaining the stability of the cup 15.

[0122] This solution simplifies the installation and removal of compression member 1302. The cooperation between second clip 13034 and latch hole 13012 ensures a secure and easy-to-operate connection, facilitating maintenance and replacement of compression member 1302. The elastic properties of elastic connecting plate 13033 adapt to changes in the cleaning state of cup 15, providing appropriate corrective force and reducing reliance on elastic member 13031, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the structure. Furthermore, because the thickness of elastic connecting plate 13033 is less than the width of latch hole 13012, sufficient space for elastic deformation is ensured, enhancing the device's adaptability and enabling it to better handle the cleaning needs of cups 15 of varying shapes and sizes, thereby increasing the versatility and practicality of the teacup cleaning device.

[0123] Furthermore, the elastic connecting plate 13033 and the second clip 13034 are used in combination, as are the support 13032 and the elastic member 13031. However, these two combinations can be used together or separately. Simply put, the elastic connecting plate 13033 and the second clip 13034 provide both fixed and swinging functions, eliminating the need for the additional support 13032 and elastic member 13031. A stopper 1305 can also be provided at the top of the support 13032 to prevent the pressing member 1302 from separating from the bracket 1301. Specifically, the stopper 1305 can be a screw.

[0124] At the same time, the bracket 1301 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart locking holes 13012, and the second connecting member 1303 includes a plurality of corresponding elastic connecting plates 13033 and second clips 13034. Each elastic connecting plate 13033 is connected to the pressing member 1302 at one end and to the second clip 13034 at the other end. The second clips 13034 are respectively snapped into the corresponding locking holes 13012. When the cup 15 tilts during the cleaning process, the multiple pressing members 1302 drive the elastic connecting plates 13033 to swing elastically in synchronization. Because the thickness of each elastic connecting plate 13033 is less than the width of the locking hole 13012, it can produce elastic deformation within the corresponding locking hole 13012, generating a corrective force opposite to the tilt direction of the cup 15. Multiple elastic connecting plates 13033 work together to enable the pressing member 1302 to apply uniform corrective force to the cup 15 from different directions, ensuring that the cup 15 can be quickly reset and maintained in a straightened state, while limiting the swing amplitude of the pressing member 1302 to prevent the cup 15 from leaving the cleaning area due to excessive swinging.

[0125] It is worth noting that a cleaning member 1304 is provided on the side of the pressing member 1302 facing away from the bracket 1301. The cleaning member 1304 includes a cleaning layer and a connecting layer, and the connecting layer is connected to the cleaning layer and the pressing member 1302 respectively. During the cleaning process, when the pressing member 1302 presses the cup 15, the cleaning member 1304 contacts the top of the cup 15 synchronously with the pressing member 1302. The cleaning layer is made of a soft material (such as silicone, cleaning sponge, etc.), fits the cup 15, and can clean the top of the cup 15 under the pressing state. The connecting layer ensures that the cleaning layer is firmly combined with the pressing member 1302 to prevent the cleaning layer from falling off or shifting due to water impact or mechanical vibration during the cleaning process. At the same time, during the pressing and swinging process of the pressing member 1302, the cleaning layer can adjust the fitting angle in real time according to the shape and tilt state of the cup 15, thereby realizing dynamic cleaning of the cup 15 and improving the thoroughness of cleaning.

[0126] Furthermore, it's important to note that cleaning element 1304 possesses a certain degree of elasticity. Therefore, when compression element 1302 and bracket 1301 are rigidly connected, the elastic properties of cleaning element 1304 form a critical buffer layer: on the one hand, it absorbs shock and vibration during the cleaning process through compression deformation, and on the other hand, it relies on the material's memory properties to maintain continuous contact pressure on cup 15. This rigid-flexible coupling design not only ensures secure fixation but also achieves a dynamic wiping effect through the energy storage and release cycle of cleaning element 1304, making it particularly suitable for cleaning fragile items such as thin-walled crystal cups.

[0127] As an optional specific embodiment, the cleaning member 1304 can be integrally formed on the pressing member 1302. The cleaning member 1304 and the pressing member 1302 are integrally formed, which simplifies the production and assembly process, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs. This design enhances the structural strength and stability of the cleaning member 1304, reduces the risk of the cleaning member 1304 falling off or shifting under water impact or mechanical vibration, and ensures the continuity and reliability of the cleaning process. The seamless connection between the cleaning member 1304 and the pressing member 1302 enables the two to move in a coordinated manner, improving the cleaning effect. In addition, the one-piece molding design makes the cleaning member 1304 easier to install and replace, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the practicality and market competitiveness of the device.

[0128] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 3 further includes a support shaft 306 and a sleeve 307. The sleeve 307 is sleeved on the support shaft 306, and the cleaning member 301 is arranged on the sleeve 307, so that the cleaning member 301 and / or the sleeve 307 can be removed, replaced or cleaned. When the device is in operation, the support shaft 306 serves as the fixing and supporting body of the entire cleaning structure, the sleeve 307 is sleeved on the support shaft 306, and the cleaning member 301 is installed on the sleeve 307. During the cleaning process, the support shaft 306 can drive the sleeve 307 and the cleaning member 301 to rotate together or perform other movements, so that the cleaning member 301 is fully in contact with the surface of the cup 15, thereby achieving the cleaning effect on the cup 15. When the cleaning member 301 needs to be replaced or cleaned separately, since the cleaning member 301 and / or the kit 307 are detachable, the operator can directly remove the cleaning member 301 from the kit 307, or remove the kit 307 and the cleaning member 301 from the support shaft 306, without having to disassemble the entire cup cleaning device 15 on a large scale, greatly improving the convenience of disassembly and replacement. For example, the cleaning member 301 can be connected to the kit 307 using a second buckle 13034, a threaded connection, or a plug-in structure. In this way, when disassembly is required, only a certain amount of force is required to complete the disassembly action. Installation is also convenient and quick, ensuring that the cleaning member 301 can be firmly installed on the kit 307 and perform its cleaning function normally.

[0129] The cup 15 cleaning device provided by the present application has significant beneficial effects by designing the cleaning member 301 and / or the kit 307 as a detachable structure. First, during actual use, since the cleaning member 301 is the part that directly contacts the cup 15, it is easily stained or wears out. The design of the present application allows the cleaning member 301 to be quickly disassembled and replaced. When the cleaning member 301 fails, the user only needs to replace the new cleaning member 301 without having to replace the entire cleaning device, which greatly reduces the cost of use. Secondly, the detachable cleaning member 301 is easy to clean separately, and the cleaning member 301 can be deeply cleaned and disinfected in a targeted manner to ensure the cleanliness of the cleaning member 301, thereby improving the hygienic performance of the entire cup 15 cleaning device. Furthermore, this design improves the flexibility and adaptability of the device. Users can replace the cleaning member 301 with different materials, shapes, and specifications at any time according to different cup 15 types, stain levels, and cleaning requirements, so that the cleaning device can better meet diverse cleaning needs. For example, for stubborn stains, a cleaning piece 301 with stronger cleaning ability can be replaced; for easily scratched cups 15, a cleaning piece 301 made of soft material can be replaced. In addition, the convenience of the disassembly process reduces the potential damage risk to other parts of the device caused by frequent disassembly, thereby increasing the service life and stability of the entire device.

[0130] In addition, the cleaning member 301 and the kit 307 can be an integrally formed part. When the cleaning member 301 and the kit 307 are designed as an integrally formed part, there is no longer a detachable connection structure between the two, but they are fixedly arranged on the support shaft 306 as a whole. During the cleaning process, the support shaft 306 drives the entire integrally formed part to move, so that the cleaning member 301 contacts the surface of the cup 15 and completes the cleaning action. Since there is no detachable connection point between the cleaning member 301 and the kit 307, there will be no loosening or separation between the cleaning member 301 and the kit 307 during the cleaning process, ensuring the stability and consistency of the cleaning action. When cleaning or replacement is needed, the cleaning member 301 and the kit 307 can be removed as a whole, wherein the kit 307 and the cleaning member 301 are preferably designed to be cleanable structures for convenient simultaneous cleaning.

[0131] Preferably, the cleaning member 301 is sleeved on the sleeve 307 and has an interference fit with the sleeve 307, so that the cleaning member 301 is firmly connected to the sleeve 307. When the cleaning member 301 is sleeved on the sleeve 307 and has an interference fit with the sleeve 307, during the installation process, a certain force needs to be applied to the cleaning member 301 to overcome the friction between the sleeve 307 and the cleaning member 301, so that the cleaning member 301 is tightly installed on the sleeve 307. Due to the characteristics of the interference fit, a large friction force is generated between the cleaning member 301 and the sleeve 307, and this friction force forms a firm connection between the cleaning member 301 and the sleeve 307. When the cup 15 cleaning device is working, the support shaft 306 drives the sleeve 307 to move. Due to the firm connection with the sleeve 307, the cleaning member 301 can move with the sleeve 307 and contact the surface of the cup 15 to achieve the cleaning function. Since the connection between the two is firm, during the cleaning process, even if a large friction or external force is encountered, the cleaning element 301 is not likely to fall off or loosen from the kit 307, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning process.

[0132] At the same time, the interference fit eliminates the need for additional complex connection structures, simplifying the design and manufacturing process of the device, reducing production costs and maintenance complexity. Furthermore, the stable connection helps to extend the service life of the entire cleaning structure, reducing the frequency of replacement of the entire component due to wear and tear of the connection parts.

[0133] It is worth mentioning that the support shaft 306 is provided with a connecting key 3061, and the inner side of the kit 307 is provided with a keyway. The connecting key 3061 is inserted into the keyway so that the kit 307 rotates synchronously with the support shaft 306. The connecting key 3061 on the support shaft 306 is tightly matched with the keyway on the inner side of the kit 307. When the support shaft 306 rotates, the connecting key 3061 is embedded in the keyway and transmits torque, so that the kit 307 and the support shaft 306 keep rotating synchronously. This design ensures that there is no relative rotation between the kit 307 and the support shaft 306. The cleaning member 301 rotates stably with the kit 307 and is in full contact with the surface of the cup 15, achieving efficient cleaning. At the same time, the cooperation between the connecting key 3061 and the keyway limits the radial movement of the kit 307 on the support shaft 306, further enhancing the stability of the entire structure.

[0134] In some embodiments, the support shaft 306 is rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 12, and the connecting key 3061 at least partially passes through the mounting seat 12 and is connected to the keyway. The end of the support shaft 306 away from the cleaning member 301 is provided with a first gear 3041 or a second gear 3042 for connecting to the second power member 302, and a seal 308 is provided between the support shaft 306 and the mounting seat 12 to prevent the second power member 302 from coming into contact with clean water.

[0135] In this solution, the support shaft 306, mounting base 12, second power member 302, and seal 308 are organically integrated, ensuring stable rotation and excellent sealing of the cleaning device. Mounting base 12 provides stable support for support shaft 306, ensuring smooth rotation. First gear 3041 connects to second power member 302, efficiently transmitting power. Connecting key 3061 tightly fits within the keyway, ensuring synchronized rotation of assembly 307 and support shaft 306, improving cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0136] It should be noted that the cup cleaning device 15 needs to come into contact with a large amount of clean water during operation, and the second power member 302 is usually an electrical or mechanical component. Once these components come into contact with water, they are likely to short-circuit, rust or be damaged, causing the device to malfunction or even become scrapped. The provision of the seal 308 can effectively isolate the clean water from the second power member 302, ensuring that the second power member 302 is always in a dry environment, thereby extending its service life and ensuring the stable operation of the device. Moreover, if clean water seeps into the area between the second power member 302 and the support shaft 306, a water film may form on the surface of these components, affecting the friction and torque transmission efficiency between the second power member 302 and the support shaft 306. The seal 308 can prevent this from happening, ensuring that the second power member 302 can efficiently and stably transmit power to the support shaft 306, thereby driving the cleaning member 301 to perform stable rotational cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0137] Furthermore, an anti-slip structure is provided between the kit 307 and the cleaning piece 301 to prevent the cleaning piece 301 from falling off easily. In the cup 15 cleaning device of the present application, an adaptive anti-slip structure is provided between the kit 307 and the cleaning piece 301 made of flexible material. The design of the anti-slip structure takes into account the flexible characteristics of the material of the cleaning piece 301 to ensure the stability of the connection while avoiding damage to the flexible material. Common adaptive anti-slip structures can be a first buckle 11, a flexible strap, an adhesive or Velcro, etc. When installing the cleaning piece 301, its flexible characteristics can be utilized to fix it on the kit 307 through moderate deformation, and the anti-slip structure provides a reverse limiting force after the cleaning piece 301 returns to its original shape to prevent it from being displaced in the axial or radial direction. During the cleaning process, although the flexible cleaning member 301 contacts the surface of the cup 15 and generates friction, and the impact of water flow and its own swing may generate external forces that may cause the cleaning member 301 to separate from the sleeve 307, the anti-detachment structure ensures that the cleaning member 301 cannot easily fall off the sleeve 307 through its elastic locking or adhesion, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the cleaning process. For example, if the first buckle 11 type anti-detachment structure is used, the elastic protrusion on the cleaning member 301 will tightly mate with the groove on the sleeve 307, forming a mechanical lock with recoverable deformation; if it is a Velcro, the adhesion between the hook and loop surface prevents loosening.

[0138] Specifically, the anti-slip structure includes barbs 3071 disposed on the outer wall of the kit 307. The barbs 3071 on the outer wall of the kit 307 effectively prevent the cleaning element 301 from falling off, maintaining a secure connection. The barbs 3071 are simple in design, requiring no complex structure or additional components. They adapt to the material of the flexible cleaning element 301 and rely on their elastic deformation to generate a locking force, eliminating the need for additional fixings and simplifying the installation and removal process. Furthermore, the barbs 3071 tightly engage with the flexible material, preventing the cleaning element 301 from shaking or shifting, improving the cleaning effect and operational smoothness, reducing noise and vibration, and extending the service life of the device.

[0139] More specifically, the barbs 3071 are provided in plurality, and the barbs 3071 are axially symmetrically arranged on both sides of the kit 307, and at least two barbs 3071 are provided on the same side. When the flexible cleaning member 301 is sleeved on the kit 307, it is necessary to overcome the resistance of the barbs 3071 so that the cleaning member 301 produces a certain elastic deformation. When the cleaning member 301 is fully sleeved into place, its elastic restoring force causes the inner wall of the cleaning member 301 to cling to the outer wall of the kit 307. At this time, the barbs 3071 on both sides respectively form a clamping effect on the cleaning member 301 from two axial directions. The multiple barbs 3071 on the same side can be evenly distributed and jointly bear the force to prevent the cleaning member 301 from falling off, making it difficult for the cleaning member 301 to be displaced in both the axial and radial directions.

[0140] By symmetrically arranging multiple barbs 3071 on both sides of the kit 307, the flexible cleaning member 301 is effectively prevented from falling off, greatly improving the reliability of the cleaning device. First, the symmetrically arranged barbs 3071 can ensure that the cleaning member 301 is subjected to balanced force in the axial direction, preventing it from shifting or rotating during installation or use, thereby ensuring the consistency of the cleaning effect. Second, the provision of multiple barbs 3071 on the same side increases the contact area and friction with the flexible cleaning member 301, further enhancing the anti-fall-off performance. This structure is simple and low-cost, easy to manufacture and install, and does not require additional fixing components or complex connection structures.

[0141] At the same time, the kit 307 is provided with a radially protruding limiting boss 3072, and the limiting boss 3072 abuts against the end face of the cleaning member 301 for limiting position. The limiting boss 3072 of the kit 307 plays a positioning role when installing the cleaning member 301. Its radially protruding portion is in close contact with the end face of the cleaning member 301, accurately determining the installation position and ensuring correct installation. During the cleaning process, the cleaning member 301 swells or softens when exposed to water and is prone to axial displacement. The limiting boss 3072 effectively blocks this, and combined with anti-slip structures such as the barbs 3071, it limits the axial movement of the cleaning member 301, preventing displacement or falling off due to water impact or self-swinging, ensuring stability and firmness.

[0142] In some embodiments, the cleaning member 301 is made of one or a combination of cloth, brush, sponge or cleaning glue. By using different materials or their combinations to meet diverse cleaning needs, each material has its own unique properties and applicable scenarios.

[0143] Among them, the cloth has good water absorption and softness, and is suitable for cleaning cups with delicate surfaces15. It can effectively remove stains while avoiding scratches. It is often used to clean glass and ceramic cups and provides gentle cleaning.

[0144] The brush is made of dense nylon or other synthetic fibers, which provides strong friction and is suitable for removing stubborn stains such as coffee stains and tea stains. It is especially suitable for cleaning textured or hard-to-reach areas such as the bottom and wall of cups, with good cleaning effect.

[0145] The sponge is soft and flexible, suitable for cleaning general stains. It can adapt to the shape of cups and effectively clean edges and corners. The open-pore structure absorbs detergent and improves cleaning power, making it commonly used for daily cleaning.

[0146] The cleaning gel has high adsorption and strong decontamination properties, effectively removing stubborn stains and deposits, such as dried beverage residue, from the surface of cups 15. It penetrates the tiny pores of the cup surface 15 to provide a deep clean. It is suitable for cups 15 of various materials and is particularly effective in cleaning difficult-to-clean stains.

[0147] In summary, different cleaning materials can be flexibly selected or used in combination according to different cleaning requirements and the materials of the cup 15, thereby improving the adaptability and cleaning effect of the device.
