The crushing part 22 can comprise one or more blades.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 The Figure 1 The exploded view of the cup assembly 20 shown in the application embodiment.

[0038] Specifically, the cup body 21 is provided with a cup cavity 210, a first mouth 211 and a second mouth 212, and the cup cavity 210 is capable of containing foodstuff. The cup cavity 210 is in communication with the first mouth 211 and also in communication with the second mouth 212. The filter part 23 is installed on the first mouth 211 and located in the cup cavity 210, and the crushing part 22 is installed on the second mouth 212 and located in the cup cavity 210.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 for a schematic view of the filter part 23. Figure 6 for a top view of the filter cartridge 230. Figure 7 for Figure 6 A-A view in FIG.

[0040] The filter part 23 comprises a filter cartridge 230 and a filter cartridge seat 231, and the filter cartridge 230 is rotatably installed on the filter cartridge seat 231. The filter cartridge 230 is driven to rotate relative to the filter cartridge seat 231 by the motor 11, and the filter cartridge seat 231 is detachably connected with the cup body 21.

[0041] The filter cartridge 230 comprises a cartridge body 2301 and a cartridge cover 2302, and the cartridge cover 2302 is connected to the top of the cartridge body 2301. The cartridge cover 2302 is formed with an opening 2302a for foodstuff to flow into the cartridge body 2301, and the crushed foodstuff can flow into the cartridge body 2301 through the opening 2302a.

[0042] The cartridge cover 2302 is also formed with a first stop surface 2302b and a second stop surface 2302c, and the first stop surface 2302b and the second stop surface 2302c are spaced apart by an angle in the circumferential direction of the cartridge cover 2302.

Due to the guiding effect of the first cutoff surface 2302b on the food, the food loses its balance at the first cutoff surface 2302b and can quickly flow into the opening 2302a through the first cutoff surface 2302b, thereby increasing the speed at which the food flows into the filter cylinder 230.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first stop surface 2302b can be configured as an arcuate surface, which can be a brachistochrone surface, allowing the food to flow through the first stop surface 2302b at the fastest speed. In this embodiment, the first stop surface 2302b is configured as an inclined surface extending obliquely from the upper surface of the cap 2302 to the lower surface of the cap 2302. This inclined surface can decompose the gravity of the food into a component force parallel to the inclined surface, which allows the food to flow rapidly into the opening 2302a along the inclined surface.

[0046] In one embodiment, multiple openings 2302a are provided, and the multiple openings 2302a are circumferentially spaced on the cover 2302. Increasing the number of openings 2302a can correspondingly increase the flow rate of food.
