[0023] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in conjunction with the embodiments to facilitate a full understanding of the present utility model. However, it should be understood that the following embodiments and detailed descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, the soybean milk machine of the embodiment includes a cup body assembly 10 and a cup cover assembly 20, and the cup cover assembly 20 is removably mounted on the cup body assembly 10. Among them, the cup body assembly 10 can refer to structures such as a transparent cup body assembly in the prior art. Here, the structural form of the cup body assembly 10 is not limited and will not be specifically elaborated.

[0025] As Figures 2 - 6 shown, the cup cover assembly 20 includes a cup cover body 21, an upper cover 22, two clamps 23, a linkage unit 24 and a trigger member 25; the cup cover body 21 is specifically a circular body, and the two clamps 23, the linkage unit 24 and the trigger member 25 are all mounted above the cup cover body 21, and the upper cover 22 is detachably mounted on the cup cover body 21 and is located above the linkage unit 24 and the trigger member 25.

[0026] The cup lid body 21 is provided with a transverse (in the P1 direction) mounting portion 211. The mounting portion 211 is specifically a groove-shaped mounting portion. Two clamps 23 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the mounting portion 211 and have an open state and a closed state. Exemplarily, the vertical cross-section of the clamp 23 is U-shaped, which has an upper clamping plate 231, a lower clamping plate 232, and an intermediate connecting plate 233 connecting the upper clamping plate 231 and the lower clamping plate 232. Among them, in the vertical direction, the lower clamping plate 232 is set lower than the bottom surface of the cup lid body 21 so as to form a mating connection with the connecting portion 11 in the cup body assembly 10, so as to better connect the cup lid assembly 20 to the cup body assembly 10.

[0027] As Figure 6 shown, the linkage unit 24 includes a central gear 241 and two connecting arms 242. The central gear 241 is rotatably mounted on the cup lid body 21, specifically located in the middle of the cup lid body 21. The two connecting arms 242 are both arranged in the mounting portion 211 and are respectively connected to the two clamps 23. Among them, each connecting arm 242 is provided with a first rack 243. In the longitudinal direction (P2 direction), the first racks 243 on the two connecting arms 242 are located on opposite sides of the central gear 241 and mesh with the central gear 241. The central gear 241 and the two first racks 243 form a cooperative linkage. When one of them changes position, the remaining two will also change positions accordingly.

[0028] As Figures 4 - 5 shown, the trigger member 25 is arranged on the cup lid body 21 and has a locked position and an unlocked position. Among them, when the trigger member 25 switches to the locked position, the central gear 241 rotates forward to drive the two clamps 23 to move closer to each other through the linkage unit 24. When the trigger member 25 switches to the unlocked position, the central gear 241 rotates backward to drive the two clamps 23 to move away from each other through the linkage unit 24.

[0029] Further, the trigger member 25 in the embodiment is specifically rotatably mounted on the cup lid body 21 around the longitudinal direction. In the vertical direction, the trigger member 25 is located above the connecting arm 242. Among them, the trigger member 25 is provided with a gear portion 251. The gear portion 251 is specifically fan-shaped. At least one connecting arm 242 is provided with a second rack 244 adapted to the gear portion 251. When the trigger member 25 rotates, it can drive the connecting arm 242 to move through the gear portion 251 and the second rack 244, and then drive the two clamps 23 to move closer to each other or away from each other through the first rack 243 and the central gear 241.

[0030] Specifically, in the transverse direction, the first rack 243 and the second rack 244 are arranged in parallel, and in the longitudinal direction, the first rack 243 and the second rack 244 are arranged at intervals. Preferably, as Figures 4 - 5As shown, a guide post 212 may further be provided on the cup lid body 21, and a transverse chute 245 is provided on the connecting arm 242. The guide post 212 is installed in the transverse chute 245 to guide the movement of the connecting arm 242.

[0031] In the embodiment, an unlocking button 26 corresponding to the triggering member 25 is provided on the upper lid 22. When the unlocking button 26 is pressed, it can drive the triggering member 25 to rotate in the reverse direction to realize the back-to-back separation of the two clamps 23. Correspondingly, a locking button 27 may further be provided on the upper lid 22. When the locking button 27 is pressed, it can drive the triggering member 25 to rotate in the forward direction to realize the opposite approach of the two clamps 23. Further, an elastic member 213 for keeping the triggering member 25 in the locked position is provided on the cup lid body 21. The elastic member 213 is, for example, a tension spring. When the triggering member 25 rotates in the reverse direction, the elastic member 213 will be stretched. Then, when the unlocking button 26 is released, the two clamps 23 can be automatically locked under the action of the elastic member 213, which is more time-saving and labor-saving and very convenient to use.

[0032] Further, the cup lid assembly 20 may further include a pressure regulating valve 28 and an exhaust valve 29. The pressure regulating valve 28 and the exhaust valve 29 are installed on the cup lid body 21. The pressure inside the cup can be adjusted through the pressure regulating valve 28. When the actual pressure value exceeds the set pressure value, the pressure can be regulated through the exhaust valve 29, and the internal pressure value of the cup body assembly 10 can be maintained stable within the set range.

[0033] Although the present invention has been depicted through the above embodiments, the above embodiments are only used to exemplarily describe the feasible implementation schemes of the present invention, rather than to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent replacement or change made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the present invention should also be covered by the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
