[0062] When making fruit and vegetable drinks, users often need to prepare a special knife to cut the fruits and vegetables on a cutting board, then put the cut fruits and vegetables into a container, and finally pour in water to soak for a period of time. When cutting the fruits and vegetables, juice will splash out and remain on the blade and cutting board, so users need to wash the knife and cutting board after use. The operation is cumbersome and troublesome to clean, and it wastes fruits and vegetables as well as water.

[0063] In view of this, the present invention provides two types of liquid storage containers and a liquid storage heating assembly. Figures 1 to 7 The first embodiment of the liquid storage container provided by the present invention will be described below with reference to the specific accompanying drawings.

[0064] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The liquid storage container 100 includes a main body 1 and a cover 2. The main body 1 has a receiving cavity 11 for containing liquid. The cover 2 covers the main body 1 and includes an upper cover 21 and a lower cover 22 detachably attached to the upper cover 21. The lower cover 22 includes a food processing unit 221 for processing the shape of food. A receiving cavity 23 is formed between the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22 for containing the processed food.

[0065] In this embodiment, the liquid storage structure of the liquid storage container 100 mainly consists of the main body 1 and the cover 2 covering the main body 1. The cover 2 includes an upper cover 21 and a lower cover 22. The food processing unit 221 is provided on the lower cover 22, allowing fruits and vegetables to be processed. On the one hand, it eliminates the need for additional knives and cutting boards, making operation convenient. On the other hand, since the food processing unit 221 is located on the lower cover 22, in some embodiments, any fruits and vegetables remaining on the food processing unit 221 after processing can be flushed out by the liquid in the liquid storage container 100, thus at least avoiding juice waste. Therefore, this embodiment proposes a liquid storage container 100 for cutting fruits and vegetables that is easy to operate, reduces waste, and is easy to clean, meeting design and usage requirements.

[0066] It is understood that the food processing unit 221 is mainly for cutting, and it is sufficient to ensure stable cutting of the food. In this embodiment, by detachably connecting the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22 in the cover body 2, the food processing unit 221 set on the lower cover 22 can be stably arranged relative to the upper cover 21, thereby improving installation stability and ensuring the stability of the cutting of fruits and vegetables by the user holding them at the food processing unit 221 on the lower cover 22.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the upper cover 21 is threadedly connected to the lower cover 22; and / or, the lower cover 22 is threadedly connected to the main body 1. The detachable connection method between the lower cover 22 and the upper cover 21 and / or the main body 1 includes threaded connection or snap-fit ​​connection, etc., and its specific structure is not limited, as long as it can detachably fix the lower cover 22 and ensure the stability of the food processing unit 221. In this embodiment, a threaded connection method is chosen because it is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and highly reliable. Specifically, for scenarios requiring a tight seal, the connection method between the lower cover 22 and the upper cover 21, and between the lower cover 22 and the main body 1, is a threaded connection. For scenarios where a strong sealing performance is not required, the connection method between the lower cover 22 and the upper cover 21, and between the lower cover 22 and the main body 1, can be a snap-fit ​​connection, etc., which is easier to operate.

[0068] Furthermore, the lower cover 22 is provided with an elongated groove 222, and the food processing unit 221 includes a first cutting blade 221a installed in the elongated groove 222, and the first cutting blade 221a extends along the elongated groove 222, with its cutting edge extending beyond the lower end face of the lower cover 22. The food processing unit 221 can be a structure similar to a mesh screen, that is, a structure that cuts fruits and vegetables through a fine metal wire, or it can be any other structure capable of cutting fruits and vegetables, as long as it satisfies the cutting function of the food processing unit 221 described above. It is not limited here. In this embodiment, the elongated groove 222 is opened on the lower cover 22, and the first cutting blade 221a is installed in the elongated groove 222. By setting the cutting edge of the first cutting blade 221a at intervals on the end face of the lower cover 22, when the user controls the fruits and vegetables to pass through the gap between the cutting edge of the first cutting blade 221a and the lower cover 22 on one end face of the lower cover 22, the fruits and vegetables are cut into thin slices with the same thickness as the gap between the two, and flow through the elongated groove 222 to the other end face of the lower cover 22, thus satisfying the above functional requirements. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cutting edge of the first cutting blade 221a extends beyond the lower end face of the lower cover 22. Based on this, the method of using the liquid storage container 100 proposed in this embodiment is as follows: Install the lower cover 22 onto the upper cover 21, and then invert it so that the lower end face of the lower cover 22 faces upward. At this time, fruits and vegetables can be cut on its top. The cut fruits and vegetables can fall directly into the receiving cavity 23. After the cutting is completed, cover the cover 2 onto the main body 1 containing water, and then invert the entire liquid storage container 100. At this time, the water in the main body 1 will enter the receiving cavity 23 and come into contact with the cut fruits and vegetables to brew fruit and vegetable tea. After the brewing is completed, the liquid storage container 100 can be flipped over again. At this time, the tea water will detach from the cut fruits and vegetables and return to the receiving cavity 11 of the main body 1 for the user to drink. Thus, in the cutting method adopted in this embodiment, the fruits and vegetables are not placed into the main body 1 after cutting, so that there are no fruit and vegetable residues in the main body 1 after the fruit and vegetable tea is brewed, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] Furthermore, the dimension by which the cutting edge of the first cutting blade 221a extends beyond the lower end face of the lower cover 22 is adjustable. In some application scenarios, there may be a need to adjust the cutting thickness of fruits and vegetables. To meet this need, the first cutting blade 221a can be configured as an adjustable structure. For example, when the first cutting blade 221a is fixed to the lower cover 22 by a snap-fit ​​structure, multiple snap-fit ​​structures of different heights can be provided for selective snap-fit ​​of the first cutting blade 221a to meet the adjustment of its cutting edge height. Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjustable structure between the first cutting blade 221a and the lower cover 22 is not specifically limited, as long as it can meet the requirement of adjusting the cutting edge height of the first cutting blade 221a to meet different cutting thicknesses of fruits and vegetables.

[0070] Furthermore, the elongated groove 222 extends radially along the lower cover 22. The elongated groove 222 can be positioned anywhere on the lower cover 22, as long as there is sufficient space in front of the cutting edge of the first cutting blade 221a to allow fruits and vegetables to extend and move until they are cut by the first cutting blade 221a. Therefore, the specific position and number of the elongated groove 222 are not limited. However, if the size of the elongated groove 222 is too small, the working size of the first cutting blade 221a on the food processing unit 221 will also be small, making it inconvenient to completely cut the fruits and vegetables. Of course, multiple elongated grooves 222 and multiple matching first cutting blades 221a can be used for combined cutting to improve cutting efficiency, but this will also increase costs and reduce practicality. Therefore, in this embodiment, the elongated groove 222 is extended radially along the lower cover 22 to obtain the maximum cutting size in the limited space of the lower cover 22. This ensures cutting efficiency while eliminating the need to set multiple elongated grooves 222 and multiple matching first cutting blades 221a for combined cutting, thus reducing costs.

[0071] Furthermore, the elongated groove 222 extends outward from the center of the lower cover 22, and a first positioning post 224 protrudes downward from the center of the lower cover 22. The first positioning post 224 and the cutting edge of the first cutting blade 221a are located on the same side of the lower cover 22. It is understood that the user's action of cutting fruits and vegetables can be a reciprocating motion towards the cutting edge of the first cutting blade 221a to achieve multiple cuts. In this operation, the elongated groove 222 should extend from the center of the lower cover 22 along both radial sides of the lower cover 22 to cover the cross-sectional dimensions of the lower cover 22, thereby ensuring that the cutting size of the first cutting blade 221a is large enough to meet the requirements of efficient cutting. However, when using this cutting method, if the size of the fruit and vegetable is larger than the radius of the lower cover 22, there will be a situation where the fruit and vegetable abuts against the inner wall of the lower cover 22 during the cutting process, but the overall cutting is not completed, which affects the user experience. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first positioning post 224 is provided protruding downward from the center of the lower cover 22 for positioning and fixing fruits and vegetables. At this time, the elongated groove 222 is still set to extend radially along the lower cover 22, but the user's action of cutting the fruits and vegetables is adjusted to drive the fruits and vegetables to rotate around the first positioning post 224. This avoids the situation where the fruits and vegetables are too large to be cut as a whole, and the user does not need to hold the fruits and vegetables back and forth during the cutting operation, making the operation simpler and more practical. On this basis, the elongated groove 222 can satisfy the complete cutting of fruits and vegetables by extending outward from the center of the lower cover 22, without having to set the elongated groove 222 to cover the cross-sectional size of the lower cover 22, making the structure simpler and the cost lower.

[0072] Furthermore, the first cutting blade 221a is bonded, screwed, snapped, or integrally formed onto the lower cover 22. The manner in which the first cutting blade 221a is disposed on the lower cover 22 is not limited; it can be a detachable structure for easy disassembly and replacement by the user, or a fixed structure to prevent it from falling off during use. The specific method depends on actual needs. Therefore, this application provides multiple implementation methods to meet different needs. Specifically, the first cutting blade 221a can be glued to the lower cover 22. This method facilitates the fixing of the first cutting blade 221a, but it is obviously easier to fall off. The first cutting blade 221a can also be fixed to the lower cover 22 by screws. This method achieves a detachable installation of the first cutting blade 221a, and the screw structure is relatively mature, with a stable and reliable connection. However, the screws occupy volume and may obstruct the fruit and vegetable cutting process. In addition, there is an unavoidable gap between the screws, the first cutting blade 221a, and the lower cover 22, which may lead to the residue of fruit and vegetable scraps. The first cutting blade 221a can also be fixed to the lower cover 22 by a snap-fit ​​structure, which is the same as fixing it by screws. All three methods can achieve a detachable connection of the first cutting blade 221a. However, compared to using screws for fixing, the snap-fit ​​structure has poorer stability but is easier to disassemble and assemble. It also suffers from the problem of fruit and vegetable residue easily remaining. Finally, the first cutting blade 221a can also be integrally molded onto the lower cover 22. For example, when the lower cover 22 is an injection molded part, the first cutting blade 221a can be directly injection molded onto the lower cover 22. When the lower cover 22 is made of metal, the first cutting blade 221a can be directly machined onto the lower cover 22 to achieve an integral structure. This ensures a stable connection between the first cutting blade 221a and the lower cover 22 and reduces the likelihood of fruit and vegetable residue residue. However, it obviously cannot be freely disassembled, making it impossible to replace the cutting blade. Each of these methods has its advantages and disadvantages; the specific setting should be chosen according to the situation, and no limitation is made here.

[0073] Furthermore, the first cutting blade 221a is inclined to the lower end face of the lower cover 22, and the included angle is A, then 10°≤A≤60°. It is understandable that the arrangement of the first cutting blade 221a is not limited to being inclined to the lower end face of the lower cover 22. It only needs to ensure that there is a gap between the cutting edge of the first cutting blade 221a and the lower cover 22. When fruits and vegetables pass through this gap, the first cutting blade 221a can cut the fruits and vegetables. Therefore, the first cutting blade 221a can even be set to be parallel to the lower end face of the lower cover 22, which can also achieve the function of cutting fruits and vegetables. However, in this case, the fruits and vegetables to be cut need to pass through the lower cover 22 through the elongated groove 222. It may be necessary to set an additional guide structure to guide the cut fruits and vegetables to the elongated groove 222. However, by directly setting the first cutting blade 221a to be inclined to the end face of the lower cover 22, the blade body of the first cutting blade 221a can play a guiding role. Therefore, in this embodiment, the scheme of setting the first cutting blade 221a to be inclined to the end face of the lower cover 22 is directly adopted to reduce the number of parts, facilitate production, and reduce costs. Based on this, when the included angle between the first cutting blade 221a and the lower end face of the lower cover 22 is too small, the distance between its cutting edge and the end face of the lower cover 22 is too small, making it inconvenient to cut fruits and vegetables. On the other hand, setting the included angle between the first cutting blade 221a and the lower end face of the lower cover 22 to be too large will increase the resistance of the first cutting blade 221a in cutting fruits and vegetables, and may even cause it to be blocked by the side of the first cutting blade 221a, making it impossible to cut normally. After considering the above two problems, this application sets the included angle between the first cutting blade 221a and the lower end face of the lower cover 22 to be between 10° and 60° to avoid the above problems.

[0074] Furthermore, the lower cover 22 has multiple through holes 223. Based on the usage method of the liquid storage container 100 in this embodiment, the through holes 223 can be used to filter tea. That is, when fruits and vegetables are cut into the receiving cavity 23, the liquid storage container 100 is inverted, so that the tea in the main body 1 can enter the receiving cavity 23 through the through holes 223 to soak the cut fruits and vegetables, meeting the brewing requirements of fruit and vegetable tea. After brewing, when the liquid storage container 100 is inverted again, the through holes 223 can prevent the cut fruits and vegetables from falling into the main body 1, but allow the tea to flow smoothly into the main body 1, realizing the separation of fruit and vegetable residue from tea, and meeting the usage requirements.

[0075] Figures 8 to 14 This is a second embodiment of the liquid storage container 100 provided by the present invention. The second embodiment of the liquid storage container 100 will be described below with reference to the specific drawings.

[0076] Please see Figures 8 to 14The liquid storage container 100 includes a main body 1 and a cover 2. The main body 1 has a receiving cavity 11 for containing liquid and processed food ingredients. The cover 2 covers the main body 1 and includes an upper cover 21 and a lower cover 22 detachably attached to the upper cover 21. The lower cover 22 includes a food processing unit 221 for processing the food ingredients. The upper side of the lower cover 22 defines a processing area 24 for accommodating the food ingredients to be processed.

[0077] In this embodiment, the liquid storage structure is similar to that of the first embodiment of the liquid storage container 100, consisting of the main body 1 and the cover 2 covering the main body 1. The cover 2 includes an upper cover 21 and a lower cover 22, and the food processing unit 221 is provided on the lower cover 22. This allows for the processing of fruits and vegetables, eliminating the need for additional knives and cutting boards, thus simplifying operation. Furthermore, since the food processing unit 221 is located on the lower cover 22, in some embodiments, any remaining fruits and vegetables on the food processing unit 221 can be flushed out by the liquid in the liquid storage container 100 after processing, minimizing juice waste. Therefore, this embodiment also provides a liquid storage container 100 for cutting fruits and vegetables that is easy to operate, reduces waste, and is easy to clean, meeting design and usage requirements.

[0078] It is understood that the food processing unit 221 is mainly for cutting, and it is sufficient to ensure stable cutting of the food. In this embodiment, by covering the main body 1 with the lower cover 22 of the cover 2, the food processing unit 221 set on the lower cover 22 can be stably arranged relative to the main body 1, thereby improving installation stability and ensuring the stability of the cutting of fruits and vegetables by the user holding them at the food processing unit 221 on the lower cover 22.

[0079] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the upper cover 21 is threadedly connected to the lower cover 22; and / or, the lower cover 22 is threadedly connected to the main body 1. The detachable connection method between the lower cover 22 and the upper cover 21 and / or the main body 1 includes threaded connection or snap-fit ​​connection, etc., and its specific structure is not limited, as long as it can detachably fix the lower cover 22 and ensure the stability of the food processing unit 221. In this embodiment, a threaded connection method is chosen because it is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and highly reliable. Specifically, for scenarios requiring a tight seal, the connection method between the lower cover 22 and the upper cover 21, and between the lower cover 22 and the main body 1, is a threaded connection. For scenarios where a strong sealing performance is not required, the connection method between the lower cover 22 and the upper cover 21, and between the lower cover 22 and the main body 1, can be a snap-fit ​​connection, etc., which is easier to operate.

[0080] Furthermore, the lower cover 22 is provided with an elongated groove 222, and the food processing unit 221 includes a second cutting blade 221b installed in the elongated groove 222, and the second cutting blade 221b extends along the elongated groove 222, with its cutting edge extending beyond the upper end face of the lower cover 22. The food processing unit 221 can be a structure similar to a mesh screen, that is, a structure that cuts fruits and vegetables through a fine metal wire, or it can be any other structure capable of cutting fruits and vegetables, as long as it satisfies the cutting function of the food processing unit 221 described above. It is not limited here. In this embodiment, the elongated groove 222 is opened on the lower cover 22, and the second cutting blade 221b is installed in the elongated groove 222. By setting the cutting edge of the second cutting blade 221b at intervals on the end face of the lower cover 22, when the user controls the fruits and vegetables to pass through the gap between the cutting edge of the second cutting blade 221b and the lower cover 22 on one end face of the lower cover 22, the fruits and vegetables are cut into thin slices with the same thickness as the gap between the two, and flow through the elongated groove 222 to the other end face of the lower cover 22, thus satisfying the above functional requirements. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cutting edge of the second cutting blade 221b extends beyond the upper surface of the lower cover 22. Based on this, the liquid storage container 100 proposed in this embodiment is used as follows: The lower cover 22 is installed on the main body 1, at which time fruits and vegetables can be cut on its top. The cut fruits and vegetables can fall directly into the receiving cavity 11 of the main body 1 and can directly contact the water in the main body 1 to brew fruit and vegetable tea. Alternatively, after cutting, the lower cover 22 can be removed, and water can be added to the receiving cavity 11 of the main body 1 to brew fruit and vegetable tea. That is, when sealing is not required, after cutting fruits and vegetables, the lower cover 22 can be removed directly, and the user can directly use the main body 1 to brew and drink fruit and vegetable tea. When sealing is required, the upper cover 21 needs to be placed on the main body 1 containing water and the cut fruits and vegetables, or the upper cover 21 can be placed on the lower cover 22 to form the cover 2 placed on the main body 1. Thus, in the cutting method adopted in this embodiment, the fruits and vegetables are directly placed into the main body 1 after being cut, which is convenient to operate and easy to use.

[0081] Furthermore, the dimension by which the cutting edge of the second cutting blade 221b extends beyond the upper end face of the lower cover 22 is also adjustable. Similar to the first embodiment of the liquid storage container 100 described above, this embodiment does not specifically limit the adjustable structure between the second cutting blade 221b and the lower cover 22, as long as it can satisfy the need to adjust the height of the cutting edge of the second cutting blade 221b to meet the cutting thickness of different fruits and vegetables.

[0082] Furthermore, the elongated groove 222 extends radially along the lower cover 22. The arrangement of the elongated groove 222 in this embodiment is the same as in the first embodiment described above; that is, the elongated groove 222 can be positioned anywhere on the lower cover 22, as long as there is sufficient space in front of the cutting edge of the first cutting blade 221a to allow fruits and vegetables to extend and move until they are cut by the first cutting blade 221a. In this embodiment, extending the elongated groove 222 radially along the lower cover 22 achieves the maximum cutting size within the limited space of the lower cover 22, ensuring cutting efficiency while eliminating the need for multiple elongated grooves 222 and multiple matching second cutting blades 221b for combined cutting, thus reducing costs.

[0083] Furthermore, the elongated groove 222 extends outward from the center of the lower cover 22, and a second positioning post 225 protrudes upward from the center of the lower cover 22. The second positioning post 225 and the cutting edge of the second cutting blade 221b are located on the same side of the lower cover 22. Similar to the first cutting blade 221a in the first embodiment, the cutting operation using the second cutting blade 221b can also be performed in various ways, which are described in detail in the first embodiment of the liquid storage container 100 above, and will not be repeated here. However, due to the different orientations of the first cutting blade 221a and the second cutting blade 221b, the second positioning post 225 on the lower cover 22 needs to be set as an upward protruding structure to meet the structural features of the second embodiment of the liquid storage container 100. Thus, the second positioning post 225 is located at the upper end of the lower cover 22 to position and fix the fruits and vegetables. The user's action of cutting the fruits and vegetables is to drive the fruits and vegetables to rotate around the second positioning post 225, which is simple to operate and practical.

[0084] Furthermore, the second cutting blade 221b is bonded, screwed, snapped, or integrally formed onto the lower cover 22. Referring to the installation method of the first cutting blade 221a in the first embodiment of the liquid storage container 100 described above, the installation method of the second cutting blade 221b in this embodiment is the same, that is, the second cutting blade 221b can be bonded to the lower cover 22, fixed to the lower cover 22 by screws, snapped to the lower cover 22 by a snap-fit ​​structure, or integrally formed onto the lower cover 22. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, and the specific setting should be selected as appropriate, and is not limited here.

[0085] Furthermore, the second cutting blade 221b is inclined to the upper end face of the lower cover 22, and the included angle is B, then 10°≤B≤60°. It is understandable that the second cutting blade 221b is not limited to being inclined to the upper end face of the lower cover 22. It only needs to ensure that there is a gap between the cutting edge of the second cutting blade 221b and the lower cover 22. When fruits and vegetables pass through this gap, the second cutting blade 221b can cut the fruits and vegetables. Therefore, the second cutting blade 221b can even be set to be parallel to the lower end face of the lower cover 22, which can also achieve the function of cutting fruits and vegetables. However, in this case, the fruits and vegetables to be cut need to pass through the elongated groove 222 of the lower cover 22, which may require an additional guide structure to guide the cut fruits and vegetables to the elongated groove 222. However, by directly setting the second cutting blade 221b to be inclined to the end face of the lower cover 22, the blade body of the second cutting blade 221b can play a guiding role. Therefore, in this embodiment, the solution of setting the second cutting blade 221b to be inclined to the end face of the lower cover 22 is adopted to reduce the number of parts, facilitate production, and reduce costs. Based on this, when the angle between the second cutting blade 221b and the upper end face of the lower cover 22 is too small, the distance between its cutting edge and the end face of the lower cover 22 is too small, making it inconvenient to cut fruits and vegetables. Conversely, setting the angle between the second cutting blade 221b and the upper end face of the lower cover 22 to a larger angle would increase the resistance of the second cutting blade 221b in cutting fruits and vegetables, and it might even be blocked by the side of the second cutting blade 221b, preventing normal cutting. After considering the above two problems, this application sets the angle between the second cutting blade 221b and the upper end face of the lower cover 22 to between 10° and 60° to avoid these problems.

[0086] Furthermore, the lower cover 22 has multiple through holes 223. Based on the usage method of the liquid storage container 100 in this embodiment, the through holes 223 can be used to filter fruit and vegetable juices to avoid juice waste. For example, when the fruit and vegetables are cut into the main body 1, the juice splashed out during cutting accumulates on the lower cover 22 and can flow into the main body 1 through the through holes 223 to meet the usage requirements.

[0087] In summary, based on the description of the function of the liquid storage container 100, in the first and second embodiments of the liquid storage container 100, the liquid storage container 100 includes a liquid storage cup 100a. In light of the technical problem this application aims to solve, to facilitate the preparation of fruit and vegetable tea, the food processing unit 221 is provided. Since the preparation of fruit and vegetable tea is essentially either boiling or steeping in hot water, the simplest method when using hot water is to set the liquid storage container 100 as a portable liquid storage cup 100a. Given its portable nature, it needs to ensure sealing performance. Combining the first and second embodiments described above, their usage scenarios are more suitable for the structure of the liquid storage cup 100a, satisfying both the required food processing function and the portability function, while also possessing sealing performance.

[0088] In addition, regarding the method of brewing fruit and vegetable tea, see [link / reference]. Figures 15 to 21 This application also proposes a liquid storage heating assembly 1000, wherein the liquid storage heating assembly 1000 includes a base 300, a liquid storage container 100, and a heating assembly. The liquid storage container 100 includes a main body 1 and a cover 2. The main body 1 has a receiving cavity 11 for containing liquid and processed food. The cover 2 covers the main body 1 and includes an upper cover 21 and a lower cover 22 detachably attached to the upper cover 21. The lower cover 22 includes a food processing unit 221 for processing the food. The upper side of the lower cover 22 defines a processing area 24 for accommodating the food to be processed. The heating assembly includes a heating element 401 disposed at the bottom of the main body 1 and a coupler 402 disposed between the main body 1 and the base 300.

[0089] The liquid storage container 100 is the third embodiment proposed in this application. According to the above description, the liquid storage container 100 in the third embodiment is mainly used for brewing fruit and vegetable tea. Therefore, the liquid storage container 100 in the third embodiment is set as a liquid storage pot 100b, which does not need to have the airtight performance required for carrying around.

[0090] Specifically, the third embodiment of the liquid storage container 100 is similar to the second embodiment. The accommodating cavity 11 within the main body 1, in addition to accommodating liquid, also needs to accommodate processed food ingredients. The structure of the food ingredient processing unit 221 on the lower cover 22 and the matching lower cover 22 are also consistent with those given in the second embodiment. That is, the lower cover 22 has an elongated groove 222, and the food ingredient processing unit 221 includes a second cutting blade 221b installed within the elongated groove 222. The second cutting blade 221b extends along the elongated groove 22... 2. The blade extends beyond the upper surface of the lower cover 22. Based on this, the liquid storage container 100 proposed in this embodiment is used as follows: The lower cover 22 is installed on the main body 1. Fruits and vegetables can then be cut on its top. The cut fruits and vegetables can fall directly into the receiving cavity 11 of the main body 1, directly contacting the water inside the main body 1. The main body 1, containing water and the processed ingredients, is then placed on the base 300, and the heating component is turned on to heat the contents of the main body 1, thereby brewing fruit and vegetable tea. Thus, in the cutting method adopted in this embodiment, the cut fruits and vegetables are directly placed into the main body 1, which is convenient to operate and easy to use.

[0091] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cutting edge of the second cutting blade 221b extends beyond the upper end face of the lower cover 22 by an adjustable dimension; the second cutting blade 221b is inclined to the upper end face of the lower cover 22, forming an angle B, where 10°≤B≤60°; the second cutting blade 221b is bonded, screwed, snapped, or integrally formed onto the lower cover 22; the lower cover 22 has multiple through holes 223; and a second positioning post 225 protrudes upward from the center of the lower cover 22. These structural features are consistent with the structural features of the second cutting blade 221b and the second positioning post 225 in the second embodiment of the liquid storage container 100. Therefore, the beneficial effects of the third embodiment of the liquid storage container 100 proposed in this application, which have the above technical features, brought about by the second embodiment of the liquid storage container 100 proposed in this application, will not be elaborated here.

[0092] Regarding the technical features that distinguish the third embodiment from the second embodiment, namely, the lower cover 22 is disposed on the main body 1 and an annular rubber pad 200 is provided between the lower cover 22 and the main body 1; and / or, the upper cover 21 has a boss 211 on its periphery, and the lower cover 22 has a corresponding limiting groove 226 on its periphery, and the limiting groove 226 includes a vertical extension section 226a and a horizontal limiting section 226b, and the boss 211 can extend from the extension section 226a to the limiting section 226b to restrict the separation of the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22. In this embodiment, the lid 2 serves as a lid for a teapot and is placed on the main body 1. That is, the upper lid 21 and the lower lid 22, as well as the lower lid 22 and the main body 1, are not fixedly connected. It is understood that when the lower lid 22 is placed on the main body 1 and fruits and vegetables are being cut, it can move relative to the main body 1 because it is not fixedly connected. During fruit and vegetable cutting, the lower lid 22 may move on the main body 1 with the user's operation, affecting the cutting process. Therefore, in this embodiment, an annular rubber pad 200 is provided between the lower lid 22 and the main body 1 to increase the friction between them, thus restricting the movement of the lower lid 22 without affecting its ability to be freely detached from the main body 1. Regarding the detachable connection between the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22, since neither requires a sealed connection, a threaded connection structure as described above is unnecessary. This embodiment simplifies the detachable connection method between the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22. Specifically, a boss 211 is provided on the periphery of the upper cover 21, and a limiting groove 226 is provided on the periphery of the lower cover 22. The limiting groove 226 consists of a vertically arranged extension section 226a and a horizontal limiting section 226b. When assembling the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22, it is only necessary to bring the upper cover 21 close to the lower cover 22, so that... The protrusion 211 is positioned on the extension section 226a and extends into it until the protrusion 211 reaches the limiting section 226b. Then, the upper cover 21 is rotated relative to the lower cover 22, so that the protrusion 211 extends horizontally into the limiting section 226b. In this way, the upper wall of the limiting section 226b restricts the upward movement of the protrusion 211, thereby preventing the upper cover 21 from detaching from the lower cover 22 and completing the connection and combination of the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22. When it is necessary to separate the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22, the above steps can be reversed. The overall process is simple and easy to operate.
