[0045] Multiple reinforcing parts 2302c can be provided, and the multiple reinforcing parts 2302c can be distributed along the circumference of the filter screen 2302b so as to provide support for the filter screen 2302b from various directions. The reinforcing parts 2302c can be integrated with the first annular frame 2302b.

[0046] In one embodiment, the cylinder body 2302 further includes a second annular frame 2302d coaxially arranged with the first annular frame 2302a. The end of the filter screen 2302b facing away from the first annular frame 2302a is connected to the second annular frame 2302d, and the reinforcing part 2302c is also connected to the second annular frame 2302d. That is, the filter screen 2302b is connected to the first annular frame 2302a and the second annular frame 2302d at both ends of the axial direction of the rotating shaft O, respectively. This allows the two ends of the filter screen 2302b to be restricted and protected by the first annular frame 2302a and the second annular frame 2302d, making it less prone to deformation during rotation. Simultaneously, the reinforcing part 2302c is also connected to the second annular frame 2302d, allowing the first annular frame 2301a to connect with the second annular frame 2302d through the reinforcing part 2302c, improving the overall structural strength and enhancing the stability of the filter screen 2302b.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 , Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view of the cup assembly. Figure 7 This is an exploded view of the cylinder 2302 and the feed hopper 24. Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional view of the feed hopper 24.

[0048] The cup assembly 20 also includes a feed hopper 24 disposed within the cup cavity 210, the feed hopper 24 connecting the cup cavity 210 and the filter cavity 2303. This design allows the feed hopper 24 to act as a guide, ensuring that the food in the cup cavity 210 flows precisely into the filter cavity 2303, guaranteeing effective separation of liquid and solid residue. The feed hopper 24 can be configured as a conical structure, with its larger end connected to the cup cavity 210 and its smaller end connected to the filter cavity 2303, but is not limited to this configuration.

[0049] In one embodiment, the cup assembly 20 further includes a first sealing ring 25. At the end of the feed hopper 24 communicating with the cup cavity 210, 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, ensuring the sealing of the food channel at the feed hopper 24, thereby ensuring the filtration effect. The first sealing ring 25 includes, but is not limited to, a silicone ring.

[0050] 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 chamber 2303, the feed hopper 24 is sealed to the cylinder body 2302 by the second sealing ring 26. The second sealing ring 26 is clamped and fixed between the outer periphery of the feed hopper 24 and the cylinder body 2302, forming an annular sealing surface. With this configuration, the second sealing ring 26 can seal the gap between the feed hopper 24 and the cylinder body 2302, ensuring the sealing of the feed channel at the cylinder body 2302.

[0051] In one embodiment, the cylinder body 2302 is constrained by the feed hopper 24 in the rotational direction of the filter cylinder 230 and remains relatively fixed to the cylinder bottom 2301. This arrangement allows the feed hopper 24 to provide pressure to the cylinder body 2302, ensuring that the cylinder body 2302 does not detach from the cylinder bottom 2301 during the filtration process.

[0052] exist Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the cup body 21 has a contraction section 213 that tapers towards the center. The upper end of the feed hopper 24 abuts against the contraction section 213, which can restrict the feed hopper 24 from moving upward. The first sealing ring 25 is clamped and fixed between the contraction section 213 and the feed hopper 24.

[0053] In one embodiment, the feed hopper 24 is detachably installed within the cup cavity 210. 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 cavity 210 from the first opening 211.

[0054] In one embodiment, combined Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, 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 also includes a filter cylinder shaft 231 fixedly connected to the filter cylinder 230. The hopper shaft 241 and the filter cylinder shaft 231 are detachably connected. This configuration allows the filter cylinder shaft 231 to provide upward support to the feed hopper 24, facilitates the disassembly of the feed hopper 24, and ensures the stability of the feed hopper 24's position.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] In one embodiment, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 The feed hopper 24 is also connected to the cylinder body 2302 in a detachable manner. Specifically, the cylinder body 2302 further includes a connecting structure 23021 located in a hollow section. The connecting structure 23021 has a connecting hole 23022, and the hopper shaft 241 mates with the connecting hole 23022, allowing for a detachable connection between the shaft 241 and the connecting structure 23021 at the connecting hole 23022. This design increases the structural compactness of the feed hopper 24 and the cylinder body 2302, while also enabling the feed hopper 24 to be detachable.

[0058] The cup body 21 is also provided with a juice outlet 214, which is connected to the filter chamber 2303. The juice outlet 214 can be tilted to prevent juice from accumulating inside the juice outlet 214. A juice cover can also be provided at the juice outlet 214, which is used to close or open the juice outlet 214, but is not limited to this.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
