[0007] The cup assembly of the blender provided by the present application, when the cup assembly is switched from the first installation mode to the second installation mode, at this time, the food material in the crushing cavity flows to the filtering cavity, due to the arrangement of the contraction part, the food material can quickly and centrally flow into the filtering cavity through the flow guiding capacity of the contraction part, and the pouring operation is more convenient.

[0008] Optionally, the contraction part is configured to be gradually contracted towards the center of the cup body in a tapered structure. The contraction part is arranged in a smooth transition structure instead of a sudden change structure, so that the food material will not be left in the crushing cavity.

[0009] Optionally, the cup body is further formed with an expansion part which is expanded from the center to the periphery of the cup body, the expansion part is connected with the contraction part, the flow area of one end of the expansion part which is in communication with the crushing cavity is smaller than the flow area of one end of the expansion part which is in communication with the filtering cavity. The expansion part can increase the volume of the filtering cavity, thereby increasing the capacity of the filtering cavity for containing food material.

[0010] Optionally, the expansion part is configured to be gradually expanded towards the periphery of the cup body in a tapered structure. The expansion part is arranged in a smooth transition structure instead of a sudden change structure, in this design, when the food material is added to the crushing cavity from the second port, it can quickly and centrally flow into the crushing cavity through the flow guiding effect of the expansion part.

[0011] Optionally, the cup assembly further includes a feed hopper disposed within the grinding chamber, and the filtering section includes a rotatable filter cylinder. One end of the feed hopper is connected to the end of the contraction section with a relatively smaller flow area, and the other end of the feed hopper is connected to the filter cylinder.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0027] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of a blender 100 shown as an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The exploded view of the blender 100 shown in the figure shows the cup assembly 20 in a first mounting configuration. Figure 3 This is another exploded view of the blender 100, in which the cup assembly 20 is installed in a second manner.

[0029] This application provides a blender 100, including a main unit 10 and a cup assembly 20, the cup assembly 20 being detachably mounted on the main unit 10. The main unit includes a motor 11, and the cup assembly 20 includes a cup body 21, a crushing section 22, and a filtering section 23. The crushing section 22 and the filtering section 23 are both mounted on the cup body 21, and the mounting method includes, but is not limited to, detachable mounting.

[0030] The cup component 20 can be installed on the main unit 10 in at least two ways. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the grinding unit 22 is engaged with the motor shaft of the main unit 10, making the grinding unit 22 and the motor shaft drively connected, which can automatically grind the food in the cup body 21. This installation method is the first installation method for mounting the cup assembly 20 to the main unit 10. Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the filter unit 23 is engaged with the motor shaft of the main unit 10, so that the filter unit 23 is connected to the motor shaft of the main unit 10 for transmission, and the crushed food in the cup body 21 is automatically filtered to separate liquid and solid residue. This installation method is the second installation method for the cup assembly 20 to be installed on the main unit 10.

[0031] Specifically, the cup body 21 has a cup cavity 210, a first opening 211, and a second opening 212. The cup cavity 210 can hold food. The cup cavity 210 is connected to the first opening 211 and also to the second opening 212.

[0032] The cup cavity 210 includes a grinding chamber 210a and a filtering chamber 210b that are connected to each other. The grinding part 22 is installed in the first opening 211 and located in the grinding chamber 210a, and the filtering part 23 is installed in the second opening 212 and located in the filtering chamber 210b. The grinding chamber 210a is mainly used for stirring and crushing food, and the filtering chamber 210b is mainly used for filtering food. That is, the food is ground in the grinding chamber 210a, and the ground food is filtered in the filtering chamber 210b. More precisely, it is filtered by the filtering part 23 housed in the filtering chamber 210b to separate liquid and solid residue. The filtering chamber 210b can be connected to the juice outlet for juice discharge.

[0033] The cup body 21 has a contraction portion 213 formed at the connection between the grinding chamber 210a and the filtering chamber 210b, which contracts toward the center of the cup body 21. The flow area of ​​the end of the contraction portion 213 that is connected to the grinding chamber 210a is greater than the flow area of ​​the end of the contraction portion 213 that is connected to the filtering chamber 210b.

[0034] As can be seen from the above description, when the food is crushed, the cup assembly 20 is switched from the first installation mode to the second installation mode. At this time, the food in the crushing chamber 210a flows into the filtering chamber 210b. Due to the setting of the contraction part 213, the food can flow into the filtering chamber 210b quickly and centrally through the guiding ability of the contraction part 213, making the juice pouring operation more convenient.

[0035] In this embodiment, the contraction section 213 is configured to gradually contract towards the center of the cup body 21 in a conical structure. That is, the contraction section 213 is set as a smooth transition structure rather than an abrupt structure, so that food will not remain in the grinding chamber 210a.

[0036] In one embodiment, the cup body 21 further includes an expansion portion 214 that expands from the center outwards. The expansion portion 214 is connected to the contraction portion 213. The flow area of ​​the end of the expansion portion 214 communicating with the grinding chamber 210a is smaller than the flow area of ​​the end of the expansion portion 214 communicating with the filtering chamber 210b. The expansion portion 214 increases the volume of the filtering chamber 210b, thereby increasing the capacity of the filtering chamber 210b to hold food.

[0037] In this embodiment, the expansion portion 214 is configured to gradually expand outwards from the outer periphery of the cup body 21 in a conical structure. That is, the expansion portion 214 is set as a smooth transition structure rather than an abrupt structure. In this design, when food is added to the grinding chamber 210a from the second opening 212, it can flow into the grinding chamber 210a quickly and in a concentrated manner through the guiding effect of the expansion portion 214.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cup body 21 is also equipped with a handle 215, which is connected to the upper and lower sides of the constriction section 213 to ensure that the force is more evenly distributed when the cup body 21 is picked up by the user. Please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 4 for Figure 1 The image shows a cross-sectional view of the cup assembly 20.

[0039] In one embodiment, the cup assembly 20 further includes a feed hopper 24 disposed within the grinding chamber 210b, and the filter section 23 includes a rotatable filter cylinder 230. One end of the feed hopper 24 is connected to the end of the constriction section 213 with a relatively smaller flow area, and the other end of the feed hopper 24 is connected to the filter cylinder 230. In this embodiment, the feed hopper 24 connects the grinding chamber 210a and the filter cylinder 230, allowing the material in the grinding chamber 210a to flow precisely into the filter cylinder 230, ensuring effective separation of liquid and solid residue. The feed hopper 24 can also be configured as a conical structure, wherein the larger end of the feed hopper 24 is connected to the constriction section 213, and the smaller end of the feed hopper 24 is connected to the filter cylinder 230, but this is not the only option.

[0040] In one embodiment, the cup assembly 20 further includes a first sealing ring 25. At the end of the feed hopper 24 that communicates with the constriction section 213, the feed hopper 24 is sealed to the cup body 21 by the first sealing ring 25. The first sealing ring 25 is clamped and fixed between the outer periphery of the feed hopper 24 and the cup body 21, forming an annular sealing surface. With this configuration, the first sealing ring 25 can seal the gap between the feed hopper 24 and the cup body 21. Thus, when food flows from the grinding chamber 210a to the filtering chamber 210b, it can only flow to the filter cylinder 230 through the feed hopper 24, ensuring the sealing of the food channel at the feed hopper 24 and thereby guaranteeing the filtering effect. The first sealing ring 25 may include, but is not limited to, a silicone ring.

[0041] In one embodiment, the cup assembly 20 further includes a second sealing ring 26 at the end of the feed hopper 24 that communicates with the filter cylinder 230. The feed hopper 24 is sealed to the filter cylinder 230 by the second sealing ring 26, which is clamped and fixed between the outer periphery of the feed hopper 24 and the filter cylinder 230, forming an annular sealing surface. This arrangement allows the second sealing ring 26 to seal the gap between the feed hopper 24 and the filter cylinder 230, ensuring the sealing of the feed channel at the filter cylinder 230.

[0042] In one embodiment, the second sealing ring 26 includes multiple annular sealing ribs 260, all of which are clamped between the feed hopper 24 and the filter cylinder 230. The multiple annular sealing ribs 260 can form multiple annular sealing surfaces between the feed hopper 24 and the filter cylinder 230, resulting in a better sealing effect. The second sealing ring 26 includes, but is not limited to, silicone rings.

[0043] In one embodiment, the feed hopper 24 is detachably installed inside the grinding chamber 210b. This detachable installation facilitates cleaning of the feed hopper 24 and also prevents food from getting stuck in the gap between the feed hopper 24 and the cup body 21 when food is added into the cup chamber 210 from the second opening 212.

[0044] Please combine Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 4 The image shows a cross-sectional view of the feed hopper 24.

[0045] In one embodiment, the feed hopper 24 includes a hollow hopper body 240 and a hopper shaft 241 connected to the hollow portion of the hopper body 240. The filter section 23 further includes a filter cylinder shaft 231 fixedly connected to the filter cylinder 230, and the hopper shaft 241 and the filter cylinder shaft 231 are detachably connected. This configuration allows the filter cylinder shaft 231 to provide support to the feed hopper 24, ensuring the stability of the feed hopper 24's position.

[0046] exist Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the feed hopper 24 abuts against the expansion section 214, which also restricts the upward movement of the feed hopper 24. The first sealing ring 25 is clamped and fixed between the expansion section 214 and the feed hopper 24.

[0047] It should be noted that the feed hopper 24 also includes a connecting rib 242, which connects the hopper body 240 and the hopper shaft 241. Multiple connecting ribs 242 can be provided, and there is a gap between the multiple connecting ribs 242, which forms a material leakage gap.

[0048] In one embodiment, the hopper shaft 241 can be configured to rotate synchronously with the filter cylinder shaft 231. In another embodiment, the hopper shaft 241 can also be configured such that the cup body 21 remains relatively fixed. In this embodiment, the latter is adopted.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of yet another embodiment of the cup assembly 20.

[0050] In one embodiment, the handle can be omitted from the cup body 21, making the shape of the cup body 21 more concise. In addition, the contraction structure of the contraction part 213 can be used as the grip part when picking up the cup body 21.

[0051] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the cup body 21 is provided with a juice outlet 216, which is connected to the grinding chamber 210b. The filter cylinder 230 rotates and throws out the juice, which flows through the grinding chamber 210b to the juice outlet 216. The juice outlet 216 can be made into an inclined shape to avoid juice accumulation in the juice outlet 216. A juice outlet cover can also be provided at the juice outlet 216, but it is not limited to this.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
