Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0037] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0038] In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.

[0039] To address the specific technical problem in the prior art where the weight of the cup body 1 is generally not an integer, and if the coffee bean powder poured in is also not an integer, the calculation process for calculating the overall weight of the cup body 1 after pouring in coffee bean powder is quite complex, this utility model embodiment provides a weight-adjustable cup body 1 and a coffee grinder.

[0040] The following describes in detail the specific structure of a weight-adjustable cup body 1 provided by an embodiment of this utility model, according to the appendix. Figure 1-6 As shown, the specific structure of the weight-adjustable cup 1 includes the cup body 1, the counterweight 17, and the first magnetic suction member 16.

[0041] The cup body 1 is provided through at both ends, and the bottom of the cup body 1 is covered with a removable bottom cover 13; the bottom cover 13 is provided with a receiving cavity 131.

[0042] Specifically, the bottom of the cup body 1 is provided with a removable bottom cover 13 to prevent coffee bean powder from overflowing. In addition, when it is necessary to clean the bottom cavity wall of the cup body 1 or the bottom cover 13 in the future, the bottom cover 13 can be removed so that the user can clean the bottom cover 13 or the cup body 1 separately.

[0043] The counterweight 17 is built into the receiving cavity 131. Specifically, if it is necessary to adjust the weight of the entire cup body 1, the entire bottom cover 13 is first removed, and then a specified weight or number of counterweights 17 are installed in the receiving cavity 131 inside the bottom cover 13. Since the counterweight 17 is a component of a specific weight, the user can select different weights of counterweights 17 or adjust the number of counterweights 17 as needed, and install them all into the receiving cavity 131 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the overall weight of the cup body 1, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the overall weight of the cup body 1. When coffee bean powder is poured into the cup body 1, the actual weight of the coffee bean powder is obtained by subtracting the actual weight of the cup body 1 itself from the actual weight of the cup body 1 containing the coffee bean powder. This calculation process is relatively simple.

[0044] For example, the weight of the entire cup body 1 in this embodiment of the invention is 199.3 grams. In order to facilitate the calculation of the actual weight of the poured coffee bean powder, the weight of the cup body 1 needs to be adjusted to an integer, that is, preferably adjusted to 200 grams. To this end, a counterweight 17 with a weight of 0.7 grams is added to the receiving cavity 131 of the bottom cover 13 to increase the weight of the entire cup body 1, so that the actual weight of the cup body 1 is 200 grams. When calculating the weight of the coffee bean powder in the future, it is only necessary to subtract 200 grams from the weight of the cup body 1 containing the coffee bean powder to obtain the actual weight of the coffee bean powder. For example, the actual weight of the cup body 1 containing coffee bean powder is 205 grams. Subtracting the 200-gram weight of the cup body 1, we get an actual weight of 5 grams of coffee bean powder.

[0045] It is understood that the counterweight 17 in this embodiment of the present invention can be selected according to actual needs, such as a counterweight 17 with a weight of 4 grams or four counterweights 17 with a weight of 1 gram, and is not limited here.

[0046] The counterweight 17 of this utility model embodiment is made of materials such as metal, plastic, rubber or glass, such as metal block or plastic block, to effectively increase the weight of the cup body 1. The specific type of counterweight 17 is not limited here.

[0047] The first magnetic suction member 16 is built into the middle position of the receiving cavity 131. When the cup body 1 is placed in the mounting body, the first magnetic suction member 16 is used to magnetically attract with the second magnetic suction member 22 in the mounting body. This setting can improve the stability of the cup body 1 to a certain extent.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, the bottom cover 13 includes a cover plate 14 and a base 15 that is detachably disposed on the bottom of the cup body 1, with the cover plate 14 covering the top of the base 15; the receiving cavity 131 is located between the cover plate 14 and the base 15.

[0049] Specifically, if it is necessary to adjust the weight of the entire cup body 1, the base 15 is removed from the bottom of the cup body 1, and the cover 14 is flipped open from the top of the base 15. At this time, the counterweight 17 can be added to or removed from the receiving cavity 131. Then, the cover 14 is inserted into the designated position in the cup body 1, and the bottom cover 13 is reassembled on the bottom of the cup body 1 so that each counterweight 17 is located in the receiving cavity 131 and between the cover 14 and the base 15. This setting can increase or decrease the actual weight of the entire cup body 1, and also prevent the counterweight 17 from falling off.

[0050] In a further embodiment, the bottom inner wall of the cup body 1 is provided with a first thread, and the outer wall of the base 15 is provided with a second thread that mates with the first thread.

[0051] Specifically, to improve the ease of assembly or disassembly of the base 15, when it is necessary to assemble the base 15 to the bottom of the cup body 1, it is only necessary to engage the second thread of the base 15 with the first thread and rotate the entire base 15 in the forward direction so that the base 15 gradually extends into the cup body 1 until the base 15 is stable; conversely, when it is necessary to remove the cup body 1 from the base 15, the user only needs to rotate the base 15 in the reverse direction, and the base 15 gradually detaches from the cup body 1 through the action of the second thread and the first thread. This design makes the disassembly or assembly of the base 15 simpler, more convenient and reliable.

[0052] It should be noted that the bottom surface of the base 15 has two recesses, and two fingers can be inserted into the two recesses to twist the base 15 to rotate.

[0053] In a further embodiment, the inner sidewall of the cup body 1 is provided with limiting steps that abut against the cover plate 14 and the base 15 respectively.

[0054] Specifically, the inner wall of the cup body 1 is provided with a first limiting step 11 and a second limiting step 12. The first limiting step 11 is used to limit the movement range of the cover plate 14, and the second limiting step 12 is used to limit the movement range of the base 15. The first limiting step 11 physically blocks the cover plate 14, and the second limiting step 12 physically blocks the base 15, thereby preventing the cover plate 14 and the base 15 from moving excessively or misaligning, resulting in excessive shaking or displacement, and ensuring that the movement range of the cover plate 14 and the base 15 is within the specified range.

[0055] It should be noted that when the cover plate 14 moves to abut against the first limiting step 11, if coffee bean powder is poured into the cup body 1, the coffee bean powder will fall onto the upper surface of the cover plate 14. Since the outer wall of the cover plate 14 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the cup body 1, that is, the two are interference fit, the coffee bean powder can be prevented from leaking.

[0056] In a further embodiment, the base 15 is provided with a support ring 151 for supporting the cover plate 14.

[0057] Specifically, when the cover plate 14 is assembled into the cup body 1, the support ring 151 of the base 15 assembled to the bottom of the cup body 1 is used to push the cover plate 14 to move along the direction of the first limiting step 11 until the cover plate 14 moves to abut against the first limiting step 11. At this time, the support ring 151 is used to support the cover plate 14 so that the cover plate 14 is fixed between the first limiting step 11 and the support ring 151, preventing the entire cover plate 14 from shaking in the vertical direction, which would cause a gap to appear between the outer wall of the cover plate 14 and the first limiting step 11.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, the accommodating cavity 131 is recessed with a first limiting groove 132, and a first magnetic attractor 16 is disposed in the first limiting groove 132. The outer side wall of the first magnetic attractor 16 is interference-fitted with the groove wall of the first limiting groove 132.

[0059] Specifically, the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 131 is recessed with a first limiting groove 132 for positioning and assembling the first magnetic suction member 16. Since the outer wall of the first magnetic suction member 16 is interference-fitted with the groove wall of the first limiting groove 132, that is, the outer wall of the first magnetic suction member 16 is tightly fitted with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 131, the first magnetic suction member 16 is effectively prevented from shaking or shifting in position in the accommodating cavity 131 due to external force or vibration, thereby further improving the stability of the first magnetic suction member 16.

[0060] The following describes in detail the specific structure of a coffee grinder provided by this utility model embodiment. As shown in the accompanying drawings, the specific structure of the coffee grinder includes a support base 2, a grinding device 3, and a weight-adjustable cup body 1 as described in any of the above embodiments. The grinding device 3 is disposed on the support base 2. The support base 2 is provided with a placement area 21 for placing the cup body 1, and the placement area 21 is located below the discharge port of the grinding device 3. A first magnetic suction member 16 is built into the middle position of the receiving cavity 131 of the bottom cover 13, and a second magnetic suction member 22 is provided at the bottom of the placement area 21 for magnetic attraction with the first magnetic suction member 16.

[0061] Specifically, when the coffee beans are ground, the cup body 1 is placed on the placement area 21. The second magnetic member 22 at the bottom of the placement area 21 can magnetically attract the first magnetic member 16 inside the bottom cover 13. That is, the magnetic force generated between the first magnetic member 16 and the second magnetic member 22 stabilizes the cup body 1 placed on the placement area 21, preventing the cup body 1 from easily shifting or tipping over. This allows the coffee bean powder formed after being ground by the grinding device 3 to be smoothly poured into the cup body 1.

[0062] In some specific embodiments, the bottom of the support base 2 is recessed with a second limiting groove 23, and the second magnetic attractor 22 is built into the second limiting groove 23, with the second magnetic attractor 22 and the second limiting groove 23 being interference fit.

[0063] Specifically, in order to align the second magnetic chuck 22 with the first magnetic chuck 16 and prevent the second magnetic chuck 22 from shifting or wobbling, the second magnetic chuck 22 is built into the second limiting groove 23 so that the outer wall of the second magnetic chuck 22 is tightly fitted with the groove wall of the second limiting groove 23, thereby increasing the contact area between the two. This arrangement prevents the second magnetic chuck 22 from easily wobbling or shifting in the second limiting groove 23.

[0064] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
