Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing devices, and in particular relates to a food processing machine. Background Art

[0002] There are two main methods for preventing overflow detection in existing food processing machines: one is contact-type preventing overflow electrode detection, in which the boiling slurry overflows and contacts the preventing overflow electrode, changing the potential of the preventing overflow electrode to achieve preventing overflow detection. When this detection method is used in a food processing machine, the preventing overflow electrode must be set in a place where the slurry can touch the cup body, which is easy to adhere to the slurry, causing inconvenience in cleaning. In addition, during the slurry boiling process, sometimes the slurry foam adheres to the preventing overflow electrode and causes continuous triggering, resulting in unsatisfactory slurry boiling. The preventing overflow electrode cannot perform comprehensive detection of water level and preventing overflow detection during the slurry boiling process, and the degree of intelligence is low.

[0003] There is also a non-contact anti-overflow detection. For example, the patent application with application number 201720526032.4 discloses a food processor with good anti-overflow effect, including a base with a built-in motor and a mixing cup arranged above the base. The mixing cup includes a glass cup with a handle and a water level detection structure arranged on the outer side of the glass cup. The water level detection structure includes a detection component fitted on the outer wall of the glass cup and a capacitive sensing plate connected to the detection component. A handle shell is mounted on the handle, and the handle shell includes an arc-shaped cavity matching the handle and an installation groove for embedding the capacitive sensing plate. The capacitive sensing plate is positioned at a preset station adjacent to the outer wall of the glass cup through the handle shell.

[0004] However, since the outer wall of the glass is a cylindrical shape with an arc and the capacitive sensing plate is a flat plate, it is difficult to position the sensing plate. In addition, during the assembly of the capacitive sensing plate, the sensing plate must first be placed in the handle shell and then positioned on the outer wall of the glass. The assembly is complicated, and the sensing plate and the glass are not in close contact, resulting in uneven detection and affecting the detection accuracy. After being installed in place, the edge of the sensing plate cannot fit tightly with the glass, and then it tilts up, causing the sensing plate to move and inaccurate detection. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a food processing machine, which solves the technical problems in the prior art that the positioning and assembly between a detection component and a glass cup body are difficult, the detection component is easy to loosen after being installed in place, and the detection is inaccurate.

[0007] The food processing machine provided by the utility model adopts a cast glass cup body, which is easier to increase the thickness of the glass cup body than the traditional stretch-formed glass cup body, and is conducive to forming a positioning plane on the outer surface of the glass cup body, providing a basis for the simple installation of the detection component. The detection component is fitted and installed on the positioning plane and hidden between the glass cup body and the protective member. By setting the positioning plane, the cylindrical outer wall with a curvature compared to the traditional glass cup body reduces the difficulty of positioning the detection component, and the assembly is simple. Moreover, in the assembly process, it is not limited to pre-installing the detection component on the protective member. Other installation methods such as directly placing the glass cup body horizontally, placing the detection component on the positioning plane and then further fixing it can be adopted.

In addition, the fit between the detection component and the glass cup body is improved by the positioning plane, the probability of unilateral warping and loosening of the detection component is reduced, and the detection is reliable. The positioning plane makes the distance between the detection component and the liquid inside the glass cup body uniform, thereby improving the uniformity of the detection and improving the detection accuracy.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the detection component includes a strip-shaped and vertically arranged detection plate, a capacitive detection element is provided on the side of the detection plate facing the positioning plane, the lateral width of the positioning plane is not less than the lateral width of the capacitive detection element, and the capacitive detection element is in contact with the positioning plane.

[0009] The detection component includes a detection plate and a capacitive detection element, and the detection plate is strip-shaped and arranged vertically, which is conducive to realizing liquid level detection and overflow prevention detection inside the glass cup body in the air. The lateral width of the positioning plane is not less than the lateral width of the capacitive detection element, which is conducive to ensuring the detection uniformity of the capacitive detection element, thereby improving the detection accuracy. The capacitive detection element is fitted with the positioning plane, shortening the distance between the capacitive detection and the liquid in the glass cup body, further improving the detection accuracy.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the lateral width of the positioning plane is not less than the lateral width of the detection plate.

[0011] By making the lateral width of the positioning plane no less than the lateral width of the detection plate, during the assembly process, the positioning plane provides more comprehensive positioning for the detection plate, so that the detection plate is fully fitted with the positioning plane, the fit is improved, and it is ensured that the edge of the detection plate will not warp up, so that the positioning of the detection plate and the positioning plane is reliable.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the detection assembly includes a strip-shaped and vertically arranged detection plate and a silicone pad located between the detection plate and the positioning plane, the silicone pad is in contact with the positioning plane, and the detection plate presses the silicone pad.

[0013] Since the detection plate and the glass body in the detection assembly are rigid structures, in order to avoid a large gap between the detection plate and the glass body and the risk of water ingress, a silicone pad is provided and the detection plate is pressed against the silicone pad, so that the gap between the detection plate and the glass body is sealed, preventing the detection plate from being damaged by water ingress, and further improving the fit and tightness between the detection plate and the positioning plane. In addition, the silicone pad provides flexible protection for the detection plate, preventing the detection plate from being scratched and damaged, and extending the service life of the detection plate.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the silicone pad is provided with a limiting groove capable of accommodating the detection plate.

[0015] By setting limit grooves on the silicone pad, the detection board can be sealed and protected in all directions, and the pre-installation limit of the detection board can be achieved, which simplifies the operation steps and positioning difficulty during the assembly process and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the protective member is provided with a mounting groove, the detection plate is installed in the mounting groove and fixed on the positioning plane along with the protective member.

[0017] By providing a mounting groove on the protective member, installing the detection plate in the mounting groove and fixing the detection plate on the positioning plane along with the protective member, the protective member can be used to ensure the fixation of the detection plate, thereby ensuring the positioning of the detection plate on the surface of the glass cup body.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the detection component includes a detection plate, which includes a water level detection area and an anti-overflow detection area located above the water level detection area, the water level detection area is provided with a first capacitor electrode for detecting the water level, and the anti-overflow detection area is provided with a second capacitor electrode for detecting an anti-overflow signal, and the thickness of the wall of the glass cup body gradually becomes thinner from bottom to top.

[0019] By setting a water level detection area and an anti-overflow detection area above the water level detection area on the detection board, the water level detection area is provided with a first capacitor electrode for detecting the water level, and the anti-overflow detection area is provided with a second capacitor electrode for detecting the anti-overflow signal, it is possible to achieve comprehensive detection of the water level height and anti-overflow in the glass cup body, improve intelligence, and prevent the slurry from overflowing while fully boiling when preparing soy milk. Since the glass cup body is cast, it is easier to achieve a gradual thinning of the wall thickness of the glass cup body from bottom to top. Anti-overflow detection is generally triggered by foam, while water level detection is triggered by liquid. The trigger detection capacitance value of the foam is small and difficult to detect. Therefore, the thickness of the glass cup body corresponding to the anti-overflow detection area is thinner, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, a crushing knife is provided inside the glass cup body, a spoiler rib is protrudingly provided on the inner wall of the glass cup body, and the positioning plane and the spoiler rib are staggered along the circumference of the glass cup body.

[0021] Since the spoiler ribs protrude inward relative to the inner wall of the glass body to form a locally thickened area, staggering the positioning plane of the outer wall of the glass body and the spoiler ribs along the circumference of the glass body can avoid thickening at the detection position and affecting the detection accuracy.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the food processor also includes a mounting member fixed at the cup mouth of the glass cup body and a cup seat fixed at the bottom of the glass cup body, the lower end of the protective member is plugged into the cup seat, the upper end of the protective member is fixedly connected to the mounting member, and the protective member abuts against the outer wall of the glass cup body.

[0023] The pre-positioning of the protective member is achieved by plugging the lower end of the protective member into the cup holder. The operation is simple and can be completed by a worker with one hand. The upper end of the protective member is fixedly connected to the mounting member to complete the final positioning, so that the protective member and the detection component installed using the protective member can be reliably fixed to the glass cup body. By abutting the protective member against the outer wall of the glass cup body, the protective member and the glass cup body are tightly matched along the radial direction of the glass cup body, further ensuring reliable positioning.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting cavity and a sealing ring that closes the mounting cavity are provided between the protective member and the glass body.

[0025] By providing an installation cavity between the protective part and the glass cup body, it is convenient to install, limit and fix the detection component located on the outside of the glass cup body. The assembly is simple and the detection component has a good protective effect. The installation cavity is closed with a sealing ring, which can have a good waterproof sealing effect, realize reliable and accurate detection of the detection component, and avoid water damage and failure.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides a food processing machine, including a cup body assembly, the cup body assembly includes a cup body and a detection assembly 30 arranged on the outside of the cup body, the food processing machine also includes a protective member 40 fixedly installed on the outside of the cup body, the cup body is a cast glass cup body 20 and a positioning plane 21 is provided on the outer surface, the detection assembly 30 is fittedly installed on the positioning plane 21 and hidden between the glass cup body 20 and the protective member 40.

[0042] In this embodiment, the food processor is a food processor that does not need to be washed by hand, including a main unit 10 having an assembly cavity, a glass cup body 20 that can be detachably mounted in the assembly cavity, and a crushing knife 23 is provided inside the glass cup body 20 to achieve the function of preparing soy milk. Preferably, the inner wall of the glass cup body 20 is convexly provided with a spoiler rib, and the positioning plane 21 and the spoiler rib are staggered along the circumference of the glass cup body 20. Of course, it should be noted that the utility model is not limited to a food processor that does not need to be washed by hand. In fact, the food processor can also be a wall breaking machine, including a main unit 10 and a cup body that can be detachably mounted on the top of the main unit 10; or, the food processor can also be a health pot, a tea bar machine, etc.

[0043] By adopting a cast glass cup body 20, it is easier to increase the thickness of the glass cup body 20 compared to a traditional stretch-formed glass cup body 20, which is conducive to forming a positioning plane 21 on the outer surface of the glass cup body 20, providing a basis for the simple installation of the detection component 30. The detection component 30 is fitted on the positioning plane 21 and hidden between the glass cup body 20 and the protective member 40. By setting the positioning plane 21 with a curved cylindrical outer wall compared to the traditional glass cup body 20, the difficulty of positioning the detection component 30 is reduced, and the assembly is simple. Moreover, the assembly process is not limited to pre-installing the detection component 30 on the protective member 40. Other installation methods can be adopted, such as directly placing the glass cup body 20 horizontally, placing the detection component 30 on the positioning plane 21 and then further fixing it. Therefore, the installation steps of the detection component 30 are more flexible, the installation methods are diversified, the operation is simplified, and the assembly efficiency and positioning reliability are improved. In addition, the positioning plane 21 improves the fit between the detection component 30 and the glass cup body 20, reduces the probability of unilateral warping and loosening of the detection component 30, and ensures reliable detection. The positioning plane 21 makes the distance between the detection component 30 and the liquid inside the glass cup body 20 uniform, thereby improving the uniformity of detection and improving detection accuracy.

[0044] Since the spoiler ribs protrude inward relative to the inner wall of the glass cup body 20 to form a locally thickened area, the positioning plane 21 of the outer wall of the glass cup body 20 and the spoiler ribs are staggered along the circumference of the glass cup body 20 to avoid thickening at the detection position and affecting the detection accuracy.

[0045] like Figure 2 , 3As shown, specifically, the detection assembly 30 includes a strip-shaped and vertically arranged detection plate 31 and a silicone pad 32 located between the detection plate 31 and the positioning plane 21, the silicone pad 32 is in contact with the positioning plane 21, and the detection plate 31 presses the silicone pad 32. A capacitive detection element is provided on the side of the detection plate 31 facing the positioning plane 21, and the lateral width of the positioning plane 21 is not less than the lateral width of the capacitive detection element and is not less than the lateral width of the detection plate 31. The silicone pad 32 is provided with a limiting groove that can accommodate the detection plate 31 and a through hole corresponding to the capacitive detection element on the detection plate 31 so that the capacitive detection element abuts against the positioning plane 21.

[0046] It should be noted that the capacitance detection element may be a capacitance electrode (metal sheet), a metal spring, etc. Usually, the thickness of the capacitance electrode is not more than 1 mm and is basically negligible. Therefore, in other embodiments, a metal sheet is selected as the capacitance detection element, and the detection plate 31 may be directly attached to the positioning plane 21 so that the metal sheet can abut against the positioning plane 21.

[0047] The detection assembly 30 includes a detection plate 31 and a capacitive detection element, and the detection plate 31 is strip-shaped and arranged vertically, which is conducive to realizing liquid level detection and overflow prevention detection inside the glass cup body 20 in the air. The lateral width of the positioning plane 21 is not less than the lateral width of the capacitive detection element, which is conducive to ensuring the detection uniformity of the capacitive detection element, so that the detection accuracy is improved. The capacitive detection element fits with the positioning plane 21, shortening the distance between the capacitive detection and the liquid in the glass cup body 20, and further improving the detection accuracy. By making the lateral width of the positioning plane 21 not less than the lateral width of the detection plate 31, during the assembly process, the positioning plane 21 provides a more comprehensive positioning for the detection plate 31, so that the detection plate 31 is fully fitted with the positioning plane 21, the fit is improved, and it is ensured that the edge of the detection plate 31 will not be lifted, so that the positioning of the detection plate 31 and the positioning plane 21 is reliable. Since the detection plate 31 and the glass cup body 20 in the detection assembly 30 are rigid structures, in order to avoid a large gap between the detection plate 31 and the glass cup body 20 and the risk of water ingress, a silicone pad 32 is provided and the detection plate 31 is pressed against the silicone pad 32, so that the gap between the detection plate 31 and the glass cup body 20 is sealed, thereby preventing the detection plate 31 from being damaged by water ingress, and further improving the fit and tightness between the detection plate 31 and the positioning plane 21. In addition, the silicone pad 32 provides flexible protection for the detection plate 31, preventing the detection plate 31 from being scratched and damaged, and extending the service life of the detection plate 31. By providing a limit groove on the silicone pad 32, while providing all-round sealing protection for the detection plate 31, the pre-installation limit of the detection plate 31 can also be achieved, simplifying the operating steps and positioning difficulty during the assembly process, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0048] More preferably, in this embodiment, the protective member 40 is provided with a mounting groove, the detection plate 31 is installed in the mounting groove and fixed on the positioning plane 21 along with the protective member 40 . Specifically, the detection plate 31 is fixed in the mounting groove through the silicone pad 32 , and then fixed on the positioning plane 21 along with the protective member 40 .

[0049] By setting a mounting groove on the protective member 40, installing the detection plate 31 in the mounting groove and fixing the protective member 40 on the positioning plane 21, the protective member 40 can be used to ensure the fixation of the detection plate 31, thereby ensuring the positioning of the detection plate 31 on the surface of the glass cup body 20.

[0050] In this embodiment, the glass body 20 is cast. Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the thickness of the wall of the glass cup body 20 gradually becomes thinner from bottom to top, and the detection plate 31 includes a water level detection area and an anti-overflow detection area located above the water level detection area. The water level detection area is provided with a first capacitor electrode for detecting the water level, and the anti-overflow detection area is provided with a second capacitor electrode for detecting the anti-overflow signal. Anti-overflow detection is generally triggered by foam, while water level detection is triggered by liquid. The trigger detection capacitance value of foam is small and difficult to detect. Therefore, the cup body thickness of the glass cup body 20 corresponding to the anti-overflow detection area of ​​this embodiment is relatively thin, so as to improve the detection accuracy, and at the same time realize the comprehensive detection of the water level height and anti-overflow in the glass cup body 20, improve intelligence, and prevent the slurry from overflowing while achieving full boiling when preparing soy milk.

[0051] In this embodiment, the specific fixing method for the detection component 30 is: Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the food processor also includes a mounting member 50 fixed at the cup mouth of the glass cup body 20, and a cup holder 60 fixed at the bottom of the glass cup body 20. The lower end of the protective member 40 is plugged into the cup holder 60, and the upper end of the protective member 40 is fixedly connected to the mounting member 50 by means of screws 70. The protective member 40 abuts against the outer wall of the glass cup body 20. An installation cavity and a sealing ring that closes the installation cavity are provided between the protective member 40 and the glass cup body 20.

[0052] By plugging the lower end of the protective member 40 into the cup holder 60, the pre-positioning of the protective member 40 is achieved. The operation is simple and can be completed by a worker with one hand. The upper end of the protective member 40 is fixedly connected to the mounting member 50 to complete the final positioning, so that the protective member 40 and the detection component 30 installed using the protective member 40 can be reliably fixed to the glass cup body 20. By abutting the protective member 40 against the outer wall of the glass cup body 20, the protective member 40 and the glass cup body 20 are tightly matched along the radial direction of the glass cup body 20, further ensuring reliable positioning.

[0053] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the lower end of the protective member 40 and the cup holder 60 can be fixedly connected by a fixing structure, such as a screw or a clip, and the upper end of the protective member 40 can be fixedly connected to the mounting member 50 by a screw 70 or a clip.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a food processing machine, including a cup body assembly, the cup body assembly includes a glass cup body 20, a mounting member 50 fixed at the cup mouth of the glass cup body 20, a cup holder 60 fixed at the bottom of the glass cup body 20 and a protective member 40 installed on one side of the glass cup body 20, the lower end of the protective member 40 is plugged into the cup holder 60, the upper end of the protective member 40 is fixedly connected to the mounting member 50, and the protective member 40 abuts against the outer wall of the glass cup body 20.

[0056] It should be noted that the protective member 40 can protect and conceal the installation components installed on the outside of the glass cup body 20, such as the detection plate 31, connecting pipes, water pumps, air pumps, etc. By plugging and matching the lower end of the protective member 40 with the cup holder 60, pre-positioning is achieved, the operation is simple, and the worker can complete it with one hand. The upper end of the protective member 40 is fixedly connected with the installation member 50 to complete the final positioning, so that the protective member 40 and the installation components installed using the protective member 40 can be reliably fixed to the glass cup body 20. By abutting the protective member 40 against the outer wall of the glass cup body 20, the protective member 40 and the glass cup body 20 are closely matched along the radial direction of the glass cup body 20, further ensuring the reliability of positioning.

[0057] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the food processor is a hand-free food processor, comprising a main unit 10 with an assembly cavity, a glass cup body 20 detachably mounted in the assembly cavity, and a crushing blade 23 disposed inside the glass cup body 20. In fact, in other embodiments, the food processor may also be a wall-breaking machine, comprising a main unit 10 and a cup body detachably mounted on the top of the main unit 10; or, the food processor may also be a health pot, a tea bar machine, etc.

[0058] In this embodiment, an installation cavity is provided between the protective member 40 and the glass body 20 to install the above-mentioned installation components (detection board 31, connecting pipeline, water pump, air pump, etc.), wherein a flexible member is provided between the protective member 40 and the outer wall of the glass body 20, and the flexible member is a sealing ring to close the installation cavity. Specifically, in this embodiment, the protective member 40 is in a cover shape and has an installation groove opening toward the glass body 20, and the installation groove and the outer wall of the glass body 20 enclose the installation cavity.

[0059] By providing a flexible member between the protective member 40 and the outer wall of the glass cup body 20, on the one hand, the flexible member is used to increase friction to prevent the protective member 40 from sliding relative to the glass cup body 20 during the installation process, thereby improving assembly efficiency. On the other hand, after being assembled in place, the flexible member has a certain elasticity, which realizes soft contact between the protective member 40 and the glass cup body 20, reduces the matching gap between the protective member 40 and the glass cup body 20, reduces assembly errors, improves matching reliability, and prevents dust and water vapor from entering the protective member 40 to affect the installation structure, thereby improving dustproof and waterproof effects. By providing an installation cavity between the protective member 40 and the glass cup body 20, it is convenient to install, limit and fix the installation structure located outside the glass cup body 20, the assembly is simple, and a good protective effect is achieved for the installation structure. The installation cavity is sealed by a sealing ring. For installation structures that require waterproofing, such as the detection plate 31, a good waterproof sealing effect can be achieved, reliable and accurate detection can be achieved, and water damage and failure can be avoided. A mounting groove is formed by adopting a cover-shaped protective member 40, and the mounting groove and the outer wall of the glass cup body 20 are combined to form a mounting cavity. Therefore, without processing or modifying the glass cup body 20, the structural design of the protective member 40 alone can be used to expand the mounting cavity. Moreover, the mounting groove can be used to limit the mounting structure. While ensuring that the protective member 40 and the glass cup body 20 fit closely, the fixation of the mounting structure is not affected. The structure is reliable, and the practicality is improved.

[0060] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, two protective members 40 are symmetrically arranged relative to the glass cup body 20, respectively forming two installation cavities, one of which has a detection component 30 installed in it; a supply port 22 is opened on the side wall of the glass cup body 20, and the other protective member 40 blocks the outside of the supply port 22, and the food processor includes a supply pipeline 80 connected to the supply port 22, and the supply pipeline 80 is installed in the installation cavity.

[0061] A detection component 30 is installed in the installation cavity, such as a water level detection structure, an anti-overflow detection structure, a temperature detection structure, etc., so that the glass cup body 20 can be expanded to realize multiple functions, with wider practicality and meet the various functional requirements of the food processing machine. The detection component 30 uses the installation cavity to achieve positioning, and uses the protective part 40 to hide and protect various installation structures, thereby protecting the entire cup body structure.

[0062] A supply port 22 is opened on the side wall of the glass cup body 20. The supply port 22 is opened on the side wall of the glass cup body 20, which is beneficial to supply water into the glass cup body 20 to achieve pulping and cleaning, or supply air into the glass cup body 20 to achieve drying or cooling the pulp and so on, thereby improving the practicality of the food processing machine, and facilitating the protective part 40 to cover the supply port 22, effectively protecting the supply port 22 and corresponding installation structures such as pipelines and air pumps, thereby protecting the entire cup body structure.

[0063] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the lower end of the protective member 40 is provided with an insertion handle 41, and the cup holder 60 is provided with an insertion notch 63, and the insertion handle 41 is plugged into and matched with the insertion notch 63. More preferably, the cup holder 60 includes a lower support ring 61 fixed to the bottom of the glass cup body 20 and an outer shell 62 surrounding the outer periphery of the lower support ring 61, a sealing member 90 is sandwiched between the lower support ring 61 and the outer shell 62, the insertion notch 63 is opened on the side wall of the outer shell 62, and a slot 64 corresponding to the position of the insertion notch 63 is provided between the lower support ring 61 and the outer shell 62. Preferably, a buckle position is provided at the edge of the insertion notch 63, and the insertion handle 41 is provided with a buckle member 65 engaged with the buckle position, so that the insertion handle 41 and the insertion notch 63 are limited in the radial direction of the glass cup body 20.

[0064] An outwardly protruding annular rib 24 is provided at the mouth of the glass cup body 20, and the mounting member 50 includes an upper ring 51 and a lower ring 52 which are separately provided, and the upper ring 51 and the lower ring 52 are clamped and fixed on both sides of the annular rib 24 and clamp a sealing member 90. The upper ring 51 and the lower ring 52 protrude outward to form a handle portion 53, and the upper end of the protective member 40 is locked on the protruding handle portion 53 by a screw 70.

[0065] In addition, if Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the protective member 40 and the mounting member 50 are fixedly connected in a specific manner by passing the screw 70 from bottom to top through the protective member 40 and locking it on the mounting member 50. The nut of the screw 70 is hidden, which is beneficial to improving the appearance of the product. Of course, in fact, in other embodiments, the protective member 40 and the mounting member 50 can be fixed in a buckle-type clamping manner.

[0066] By setting the insertion handle 41 at the lower end of the protective member 40 to cooperate with the insertion notch 63 of the cup holder 60, the structure is simple and the processing is convenient, so that the lower part of the protective member 40 and the cup holder 60 are limited, thereby simplifying the installation of the entire protective member 40. The cup holder 60 includes a lower support ring 61 and a shell 62, and the insertion notch 63 is located in the shell 62. A slot 64 corresponding to the position of the insertion notch 63 is set between the lower support ring 61 and the shell 62. By setting the slot 64, the side wall of the slot 64 guides the insertion handle 41 for installation, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and efficiency. On the other hand, the side wall of the slot 64 further forms a reliable limit for the insertion handle 41 along the circumferential direction of the cup body, thereby realizing a reliable connection between the protective member 40 and the glass cup body 20.

[0067] By setting the snap-fit ​​part 65, on the basis of limiting by using the insert handle 41 and the insertion notch 63, the reliability of limiting is further improved, so that the insert handle 41 can be stably positioned along the radial direction of the glass cup body 20, thereby facilitating the final fixation of the upper end of the protective part 40 and the mounting part 50, and the positioning is accurate, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0068] By providing the annular rib 24 at the mouth of the glass cup body 20, the mounting member 50 includes an upper ring 51 and a lower ring 52, and the upper ring 51 and the lower ring 52 are clamped and fixed on both sides of the annular rib 24, so that the mounting member 50 and the annular rib 24 are reliably fixed, and the mounting member 50 is prevented from falling off from the glass cup body 20, thereby causing the protective member 40 to loosen, and the structure is reliable. In addition, the mounting member 50 is formed by a ring, and after the sealing member 90 is installed between the upper ring 51 and the lower ring 52, the waterproof sealing at the mouth of the glass cup body 20 is improved, and water vapor is prevented from flowing downward along the side wall of the glass cup body 20 to damage the mounting structure.

[0069] Of course, the mounting member 50 may also adopt other mechanisms. For example, in other embodiments, a lug is protruding outward from the mouth of the glass body 20, and the mounting member 50 is a handle fixed on the lug.

[0070] By setting a lug at the mouth of the glass cup body 20, the mounting part 50 is a handle, which can facilitate the taking and placing of the glass cup body 20 and facilitate user operation. At the same time, the handle has a sufficient fixed position, so that when the protective part 40 is fixed by fasteners, it is convenient for workers to lock and fix the upper end of the protective part 40 and the handle, which is easy to operate and simplifies the structure.
