[0044] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The periphery of the filtering cylinder seat 232 is lower than the filtering cylinder 231, so that the filtering cylinder 231 can be conveniently cleaned without being blocked by the filtering cylinder seat 232 during the cleaning process.

[0045] The connection mode of the crushing part 22, the filtering part 23 and the cup body 21 is not limited, including but not limited to clamping, threaded connection. In one embodiment, at least one of the crushing knife seat 222 and the filtering cylinder seat 232 is arranged as a screw type base, which is connected to the cup body 21 in a screwing manner, so that the installation is simple and convenient. In this embodiment, both the crushing knife seat 222 and the filtering cylinder seat 232 are arranged as screw type bases.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The first cup opening 211 of the cup body 21 is provided with a first clamping buckle 215, the crushing knife seat 222 is provided with a first clamping plate 223, and the crushing part 22 can be rotated relative to the cup body 21 to make the first clamping plate 223 clamped into the first clamping buckle 215. The second cup opening 212 of the cup body 21 is provided with a second clamping buckle 216, the filtering cylinder seat 232 is provided with a second clamping plate 233, and the filtering part 23 can be rotated relative to the cup body 21 to make the second clamping plate 233 clamped into the second clamping buckle 216.

[0047] In order to ensure the sealing between the crushing knife seat 222 and the cup body 21, and between the filtering cylinder seat 232 and the cup body 21, the cup assembly 20 further comprises a crushing seat sealing ring 26 and a filtering cylinder seat sealing ring 27. The crushing seat sealing ring 26 is sleeved on the crushing knife seat 222, and the filtering cylinder seat sealing ring 27 is sleeved on the filtering cylinder seat 232.

[0048] In one embodiment, the screw base is further provided with a locking portion 224. Taking the crushing knife base 222 as an example, the locking portion 224 is provided with a locking position and an unlocking position. In the locking position, the screw base and the cup body 21 are relatively fixed in the screwing direction, so as to avoid the crushing knife base 222 from rotating in the opposite direction when being screwed into the cup body 21, and ensure the reliability of the installation of the crushing knife base 222. In the unlocking position, the screw base can be disassembled, so as to ensure the smooth disassembly of the crushing knife base 222. In Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the filter cartridge base 232 is also provided with a locking portion 224, which has the same structure as the locking portion 224 of the crushing knife base 222, and will not be described herein again.

[0049] In Figure 3 In the above embodiment, the cup body 21 is provided with a first locking hole 217 and a second locking hole 218. The locking portion 224 of the crushing knife base 222 cooperates with the first locking hole 217, and the locking portion 224 of the filter cartridge base 232 cooperates with the second locking hole 218.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 is Figure 4 is an enlarged view of part A in FIG. 6, in which the locking portion 224 is in the locking position. Figure 6 is a schematic view of the locking portion 224 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0051] In one embodiment, taking the locking portion 224 of the crushing knife base 222 as an example, the locking portion 224 comprises a movable member 2241 movably arranged on the crushing knife base 222 and a locking rod 2242. The locking rod 2242 is movable under the action of the force of the movable member 2241. In the locking position, the locking rod 2242 protrudes out of the crushing knife base 222 and cooperates with the cup body 21 to limit the position, i.e., is inserted into the first locking hole 217. In the unlocking position, the locking rod 2242 is retracted into the crushing knife base 222 and is separated from the cup body 21, i.e., is withdrawn from the first locking hole 217. In this way, the movable member 2241 is the driving member, and the locking rod 2242 is the driven member. When an external force F is applied to the movable member 2241, the external force F is transmitted to the locking rod 2242 through the movable member 2241. That is, through the cooperation of the movable member 2241 and the locking rod 2242, power transmission is realized, so that the locking rod 2242 can move in the expected direction, and the setting position of the locking portion 224 is more flexible. The locking portion 224 of the filter cartridge base 232 has the same structure as the locking portion 224 of the crushing knife base 222, and will not be described herein again.

[0052] The movement of the movable part 2241 and the locking rod 2242 is not limited. For example, the movable part 2241 and the locking rod 2242 can be connected by a lead screw and nut. The movable part 2241 rotates and the locking rod 2242 moves on the movable part 2241.

[0053] In this embodiment, the movable component 2241 and the locking rod 2242 are movable, and the moving direction of the movable component 2241 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the locking rod 2242. In this way, the direction of power transmission can be changed by a simple combination of motion forms, making the structure simpler and more compact.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, the movable component 2241 is provided with a button 22410 and an inclined driving slope 22411. Figure 6 Pressing button 22410 in the direction indicated by the middle arrow moves movable component 2241 in that direction. The driving ramp 22411 of movable component 2241 abuts against locking rod 2242, applying force to the locking rod 2242 via the driving ramp 22411. At this time, locking rod 2242 moves along the driving ramp 22411 and is lifted upwards, thus achieving movement of locking rod 2242 in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of movable component 2241. After locking rod 2242 moves along the driving ramp 22411 and is lifted upwards, locking rod 2242 is in the unlocked position.

[0055] Of course, a driven inclined surface 22420 can also be provided on the locking rod 2242, and the driven inclined surface 22420 abuts against the movable part 2241, which can also realize the upward movement of the locking rod 2242.

[0056] exist Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, the movable member 2241 is provided with a driving inclined surface 22411, and the locking rod 2242 is provided with a driven inclined surface 22420. This makes the locking rod 2242 driven by the movable member 2241, resulting in smoother movement and less driving resistance.

[0057] In one embodiment, the locking part 224 further includes an elastic element 2243, which includes, but is not limited to, a compression spring. The elastic element 2243 is extendable and retractable along the moving direction of the locking rod 2242. One end of the elastic element 2243 in the extension / retraction direction is relatively fixed to the crushing blade holder 222, and the other end in the extension / retraction direction is connected to the locking rod 2242. The elastic element 2243 can reset the locking rod 2242 after the external force F is removed, placing the locking rod 2242 in the locked position. The elastic element 2243 is an energy storage element; after the external force F is removed, the elastic element 2243 releases energy, causing the locking rod 2242 to automatically reset, making the unlocking operation more convenient and reliable.

[0058] In order to avoid the lock rod 2242 from moving with deviation and inclination, the crushing cutter seat 222 is further provided with a limiting hole 2220, and the lock rod 2242 is always in the limiting hole 2220 during the movement. In this way, the inner wall of the limiting hole 2220 can limit the lock rod 2242 from moving with large deviation, and has a guiding effect during the movement, and meanwhile, the elastic member 2243 can be prevented from tilting.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is a sectional view of the filter part 23.

[0060] In one embodiment, the filter part 23 further comprises a rotating shaft 234 rotatably connected to the filter cylinder seat 232, and the filter cylinder 231 is riveted to the rotating shaft 234. This fixing mode is firm and reliable.

[0061] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
