[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a blender shown in an exemplary embodiment of this application, wherein the cup assembly is a first mounting method. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of the agitator shown in the figure shows a second mounting method for the cup assembly. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The image shows a cross-sectional view of the agitator 100.

[0032] This application provides a blender 100, including a main unit 10 and a cup assembly 20, wherein the cup assembly 20 is detachably mounted on the main unit 10. The main unit 10 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.

[0033] The cup component 20 can be installed on the main unit 10 in at least two ways. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the grinding unit 22 is engaged with the motor shaft of the motor 11, making the grinding unit 22 and the motor shaft drive-connected, which can automatically grind the food in the cup body 21. This installation method is the first installation method for installing the cup assembly 20 on the main unit 10. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the filter section 23 is engaged with the motor shaft of the motor 11, thereby connecting the filter section 23 to the motor shaft of the main unit 10 for automatic filtration of the crushed food inside the cup body 21, separating liquid and solid residue. This installation method is a second installation method for mounting the cup assembly 20 to the main unit 10. The crushing section 22 may include one or more blades.

[0034] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the cup component 20 shown in the figure.

[0035] 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 communicates with both the first opening 211 and the second opening 212. A filter 23 is installed in the first opening 211 and located within the cup cavity 210, and a pulverizing unit 22 is installed in the second opening 212 and located within the cup cavity 210.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the exploded view of the filter section 23. Figure 6 This is an exploded view of the filter section 23.

[0037] The filter section 23 includes a filter cylinder 230 and a filter cylinder seat 231. The filter cylinder seat 231 is detachably connected to the cup body 21, and the filter cylinder 230 is rotatably connected to the filter cylinder seat 231. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the filter section 23 further includes a filter cylinder shaft 232 rotatably disposed on the filter cylinder base 231. The filter cylinder shaft 232 is engaged with the motor shaft of the motor 11 via a clutch. The filter cylinder shaft 232 is drive-connected to the filter cylinder 230, and rotation of the filter cylinder shaft 232 drives the filter cylinder 230 to rotate.

[0038] The filter cylinder 230 includes a cylinder body 2301 and a cylinder cover 2302 connected to each other. The cylinder body 2301 is provided with holes for filtering food. A recess 2302a is formed in the central area of ​​the cylinder cover 2302, and the recess 2302a is provided with an opening 2302b for food to enter the cylinder body 2301.

[0039] As described above, the cover 2302 is located at the top of the cylinder 2301, with an opening 2302b only in the central area. This allows the cover 2302 to cover most of the top area of ​​the cylinder 2301, improving the sealing effect. During the rotation of the filter cylinder 230, the cover 2302 can prevent solid residue from flying out, reducing the risk of residue leakage. Furthermore, the recess 2302a formed on the cover 2302 can save some space within the cup cavity 210, providing installation space for other components.

[0040] In one embodiment, the cylinder 2301 and the cap 2302 are configured as an integral structure, which simplifies the manufacturing process and ensures a reliable connection. Specifically, the cylinder 2301 includes a cylindrical filter screen 2301a and a frame 2301b disposed at one axial end of the filter screen 2301a, while the cap 2302 is disposed at the other axial end of the filter screen 2301a. The frame 2301b, the cap 2302, and the filter screen 2301a are configured as an integral structure, wherein the filter screen 2301a is a metal part and has perforations. The filter screen 2301a can be integrally injection molded with the frame 2301b and the cap 2302 as an insert, and the frame 2301b and the cap 2302 can be made of plastic, but this is not a limitation.

[0041] In one embodiment, the filter section 23 further includes a bottom 2303 detachably connected to the cylinder body 2301, the bottom 2303 serving as the bottom of the cylinder body 2301. This configuration allows the cylinder body 2301 and the cover 2302 to be detached, facilitating the cleaning of the cylinder body 2301 and the cover 2302.

[0042] In one alternative embodiment, the bottom 2303 and the body 2301 are detachably connected by a screw-in mechanism. During assembly, the rotation direction of the body 2301 relative to the bottom 2303 is set to be the same as the rotation direction of the filter cartridge 230. This prevents the body 2301 from detaching from the bottom 2303, making disassembly convenient and safe. Specifically, the bottom 2303 is provided with a snap-fit ​​23031, and the body 2301 is provided with a slot 23011. Rotation of the body 2301 relative to the bottom 2303 allows the snap-fit ​​23031 to screw into the slot 23011. Furthermore, the engagement structure of the snap-fit ​​23031 and the slot 23011 also restricts the movement of the body 2301 along the rotation axis of the filter cartridge 230. In other embodiments, a slot can be provided on the bottom 2303, and a snap-fit ​​can be provided on the body 2301 accordingly.

[0043] In one embodiment, please combine Figures 6 to 8 , Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional view of the filter section 23 and the feed hopper 24 in their assembled state. Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional view of the feed hopper 24.

[0044] In one embodiment, the cup assembly 20 further includes a feed hopper 24, which connects the cup cavity 210 and the opening 2302b. 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 cylinder 2301 through the opening 2302b, 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 opening 2302b, but is not limited to this configuration.

[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. One end of the hopper body 240 communicating with the opening 2302b is located within the recess 2302a. The hopper shaft 241 is coaxial with the rotation axis of the filter cylinder 230 and is also connected to the cylinder cover 2302. In this design, the feed hopper 24 and the cylinder cover 2302 support each other through the hopper shaft 241, increasing the structural stability of the feed hopper 24 and the cylinder cover 2302.

[0046] The feed hopper 24 also includes connecting ribs 242, which connect the hopper body 240 and the hopper shaft 241. Multiple connecting ribs 242 can be provided, with gaps between them to form material leakage gaps. The hopper body 240, the hopper shaft 241, and the connecting ribs 242 can be configured as an integral structure, but are not limited to this.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional view of the filter section 23 and the feed hopper 24 in their disassembled state.

[0048] In one embodiment, the feed hopper 24 is detachably connected to the cover 2302. Specifically, the cover 2302 has a connecting hole 23021 at its center, and the hopper shaft 241 mates with the connecting hole 23021, detachably connecting to the cover 2302 at the connecting hole 23021. The hopper shaft 241 can be made of a wear-resistant hard material, including but not limited to metal materials, and a wear-resistant elastic ring can be installed inside the connecting hole 23021. In this design, the feed hopper 24 and the cover 2302 increase the structural compactness of the feed hopper 24 and the cover 2302, while also enabling the feed hopper 24 to be detachable.

[0049] In one embodiment, the hopper shaft 241 can be configured to rotate synchronously with the cylinder cover 2302. In another embodiment, the hopper shaft 241 can also be configured to keep the cup body 21 relatively fixed. In this embodiment, the latter is adopted. Specifically, the hopper shaft 241 is clearance-fitted with the connecting hole 23021, so that when the filter cylinder 230 rotates, the hopper shaft 241 does not rotate and remains stationary relative to the cup body 21.

[0050] Please combine Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a cross-sectional view of the cup assembly 20.

[0051] In one embodiment, the cup assembly 20 further includes a sealing ring 25. The sealing ring 25 is fitted onto the end of the feed hopper 24 that communicates with the cup cavity 210. The 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. This arrangement allows the sealing ring 25 to 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 and thus guaranteeing the filtration effect. The sealing ring 25 may include, but is not limited to, a silicone ring.

[0052] In one embodiment, the cup body 21 has a step 213 inside, and one end of the feed hopper 24 communicating with the cup cavity 210 abuts against the step 213 in the direction of rotation of the filter cylinder 230. The step 213 can restrict the feed hopper 24 from moving upward.
