[0009] In one possible implementation, the device host is provided with a second insert, which is spaced apart from the first insert in the third direction of the connector. The second connecting segment further includes a second latch, which latches onto the second insert to connect the second connecting segment and the device host in the first direction.

[0010] In one possible implementation, there are two second connecting segments, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first connecting segment along the first direction;

[0011] And / or, in the third direction of the connector, the first connecting segment is received within the second connecting segment and forms a card interface; the connector further includes a third connecting segment disposed at the card interface and extending along the second direction;

[0012] And / or, the connector further includes a reinforcing rib, which is disposed at the connection between the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment.

[0013] Secondly, this application also provides a display component, including a display module and a connector. The display module includes a display element, a housing, and a connecting boss. The display element is disposed inside the housing and at least partially exposed outside the housing. The connecting boss is disposed on the side of the housing opposite to the display element and is inserted into the mounting groove of the connector.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the first end face is provided with a second protruding ring, which is located inside the first slot; the inner wall of the front shell is provided with a limiting block, which is spaced from the inner wall of the front shell to form a second slot, which is located inside the first protruding ring, and the second protruding ring is inserted into the second slot.

[0016] Thirdly, this application also provides a formula preparation device, including a device host and a display component.

[0035] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0036] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0037] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0038] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0039] As described in the background section, the limited installation space available for the display module on the device host necessitates the assembly and disassembly of the display module within a confined space, resulting in significant overall difficulty. To address this technical problem, this application provides a connector, a display component, and a milk preparation device. By adding a connector between the display component and the device host, the limited installation space between them is mitigated, reducing the installation difficulty of the milk preparation device. Specifically, during assembly, the display module can be first installed in the mounting slot of the connector, and then the connector can be installed on the device host to complete the milk preparation device assembly. During disassembly, the connector can be removed, followed by the display module. Due to the large unfolded area of ​​the connector, its contact area with the device host is also large during assembly, facilitating its installation onto the outer casing of the device host. This reduces operational difficulty and minimizes the risk of damaging the internal electrical components of the device host.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application describes the formula preparation device 1 provided in its embodiments. The device includes a main unit 100 and a display component, which is mounted on the main unit 100. The display component includes a display module 200 and a connector 300. The display module 200 is detachably connected to the connector 300, and the connector 300 is detachably connected to the main unit 100. During assembly, the display module 200 can be first assembled to the connector 300 to form the display component, and then the display component can be assembled to the main unit 100 via the connector 300. During disassembly, the display component is first removed from the main unit 100, and then the display module 200 is removed from the connector 300. Assembly and disassembly are convenient and simple, providing a good user experience.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 The connector 300 provided in this application embodiment includes a first connecting segment 310 and a second connecting segment 320; the second connecting segment 320 is connected to the first connecting segment 310 and forms an arc shape in the first direction X of the connector 300; the first connecting segment 310 is provided with a mounting groove 313 for assembling the display module 200, and the mounting groove 313 passes through the first connecting segment 310 along the second direction Y of the connector 300; the second connecting segment 320 is detachably connected to the device host 100 in the second direction Y.

[0042] It should be noted that the first direction X can be the left or right direction on the horizontal plane, that is... Figure 5 The direction indicated by the X-arrow in the middle; at this point, the second direction Y can be the front-back direction on the horizontal plane, that is... Figure 5 The direction indicated by the Y-arrow.

[0043] The mounting slot 313 extends through the first connecting section 310 along the second direction Y. After the display module 200 is inserted into the mounting slot 313, it can extend into the connector 300 and the main unit 100 to electrically connect with the electrical components inside the main unit 100. For example, the display module 200 has a circuit board 240 inside. Multiple electrical components inside the main unit 100 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 240 through wires, and can transmit the information obtained by each electrical component to the circuit board 240. The circuit board 240 can transmit the information received from each electrical component to the display screen of the display module 200 to display the received information, so that the user can easily view and understand the specific situation of the formula maker. The display screen can be a touch screen, and the user can insert external commands through the touch screen to realize human-computer interaction. The circuit board 240 can also process the information received from the display screen, and then transmit the processed information back to the electrical components, so that each electrical component executes the corresponding command to achieve the purpose of intelligently controlling the amount of milk powder, water, water temperature, shaking the bottle, etc.

[0044] The connector 300 provided in this embodiment is configured as a composite structure including at least a first connecting segment 310 and a second connecting segment 320. The first connecting segment 310 has a mounting groove 313 to facilitate the assembly of the display module 200. Simultaneously, the second connecting segment 320 is detachably connected to the device host 100 in the second direction Y. Thus, the display module 200 can be first assembled in the mounting groove 313, and then the connector 300 can be assembled onto the device host 100 to achieve a secure connection between the display module 200 and the device host 100. Compared to the traditional installation method that requires directly installing the display module 200 onto the small mounting surface of the device host 100, resulting in significant installation difficulty, the milk preparation device provided in this embodiment, by adding the connector 300, allows the display module 200 to be first assembled onto the connector 300, and then the aforementioned combination can be assembled onto the device host 100 through the connector 300 with a larger contact area, greatly reducing the installation difficulty. Furthermore, since the display module 200 is inserted into the mounting slot 313 of the connector 300, the assembly space of the display module 200 and the connector 300 can be saved at least in the second direction Y, thereby improving the overall compactness of the milk preparation equipment layout. In addition, a large installation area is reserved between the connector 300 and the main unit 100 of the equipment, which can increase the cooperation effect between the two and enhance the connection tightness and assembly reliability.

[0045] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first connecting section 310 includes a flat plate 317 and a stop 318. The mounting groove 313 is provided on the flat plate 317. One end of the stop 318 is connected to the flat plate 317, and the other end extends into the mounting groove 313.

[0046] In this embodiment, the planar plate 317 can be a straight plate structure, such as a near-rectangular plate with a certain thickness; the mounting groove 313 can be a near-rectangular groove, which can be set in the middle area of ​​the planar plate 317 and form a mounting window through the thickness direction of the planar plate 317. The stop 318 can be approximately L-shaped, with one end connected to the side wall of the mounting groove 313 and the other end suspended in the mounting groove 313, and the stop 318 and the planar plate 317 are in the same plane. In this example, the contact surface between the display module 200 and the planar plate 317 is set as a plane, which can improve the fit between the two, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and assembly reliability. In addition, the suspended stop 318 has a certain degree of elasticity, which can limit the assembly position of the display module 200 in the second direction Y, avoid the display module 200 and the connector 300 from being over-assembled in the second direction Y, and reduce the damage to components caused by assembly problems.

[0047] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 8 to 10 The device host 100 has a mounting part 110, which includes a first mounting surface 111 and a second mounting surface 112 adjacent to the first mounting surface 111; the second connecting segment 320 of the connector 300 of the display component is detachably connected to the second mounting surface 112, the first connecting segment 310 of the connector 300 is covered on the first mounting surface 111, and the display module 200 of the display component is set corresponding to the first mounting surface 111.

[0048] In this embodiment, adjacent first mounting surface 111 and second mounting surface 112 are reserved on the device host 100 so that the first connecting segment 310 and the display module 200 can be installed through the first mounting surface 111. For example, the display module 200 can be locked onto the first connecting segment 310 by screws / bolts and other structural components, and then the first connecting segment 310 can be locked onto the first mounting surface 111. At the same time, the second connecting segment 320 can be installed through the second mounting surface 112. For example, the second connecting segment 320 can be inserted into the slot of the second mounting surface 112 by a snap-fit ​​structure. Compared to the traditional, high-difficulty / high-requirement assembly method that only reserves the first mounting surface 111 and requires direct alignment and fastening of the display module 200 to the first mounting surface 111, this example breaks down the entire assembly operation between the display module 200 and the device host 100 into a connection process, an alignment process, and a locking process by adding a connector 300. Specifically, the connection process can achieve the connection and fastening of the first connecting segment 310 of the connector 300 to the display module 200. Because the connector 300 has a simple structure, is lightweight and easy to handle, the entire assembly operation is simple and easy to operate; the alignment process can achieve… The approximate alignment of the first connecting segment 310 with the first mounting surface 111 and the second connecting segment 320 with the second mounting surface 112, due to the additional alignment work between the second connecting segment 320 and the second mounting surface 112, effectively increases the alignment / contact area between the connector 300 and the main unit 100. This larger alignment area is more advantageous for operators. Furthermore, the locking process allows for the locking and fixing of the second connecting segment 320 and the second mounting surface 112, thereby assembling the display module 200 assembled on the connector 300 onto the main unit 100, completing the assembly of the milk preparation equipment. The milk preparation equipment provided in this example exhibits strong connection tightness and high assembly reliability.

[0049] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 Two second connecting segments 320 are provided, respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first connecting segment 310 along the first direction X. At this time, the mounting portion 110 is provided with two second mounting surfaces 112, disposed at opposite ends of the first mounting surface 111 along the first direction X. Both second connecting segments 320 form an arc shape in the first direction X, and the connector 300 forms a roughly U-shaped structure in the first direction X. This arrangement increases the contact area between the connector 300 and the device host 100, further enhancing the tightness of the connection. It is understood that in other embodiments, only one second connecting segment 320 may be provided.

[0050] In one example, the first connecting segment 310 and the two second connecting segments 320 can be integrally formed as a single piece, resulting in a rigid overall structure that is not easily deformed and has a longer service life.

[0051] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9 In the third direction Z of the connector 300, the first connecting segment 310 is housed within the second connecting segment 320 and forms a card interface; the connector 300 also includes a third connecting segment 330, which is disposed in the card interface and extends along the second direction Y.

[0052] In this embodiment, the third direction Z of the connector 300 refers to the height direction of the connector 300. The first connecting segment 310 is housed within the second connecting segment 320, meaning that the first connecting segment 310 is shorter than the second connecting segment 320 along the third direction Z, thus forming a snap-fit ​​interface. The connector 300 is snapped onto the bottom plate of the device host 100 extending outward from the bottom of its mounting portion 110 through this snap-fit ​​interface. This snap-fit ​​method improves the coordination between the connector 300 and the device host 100, thereby rationally arranging the spatial positions of the various components of both, and further improving the connection tightness and assembly reliability.

[0053] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 8 The connector 300 also includes a reinforcing rib 340, which is located at the connection between the first connecting section 310 and the second connecting section 320. This arrangement is primarily to enhance the overall structural strength of the connector 300. Simultaneously, the reinforcing rib 340 also forms a shield at the top of the connection between the first connecting section 310 and the second connecting section 320, preventing dust from entering the main unit 100.

[0054] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first connecting section 310 also includes a limiting part 312 disposed on the flat plate 317 facing the device host 100, and the limiting part 312 abuts against the device host 100 in the second direction Y. This arrangement can prevent the device host 100 and the connector 300 from being over-assembled in the second direction Y.

[0055] In this embodiment, a first rib 1112 protrudes from the first mounting surface 111 near the bottom end toward the first connecting segment 310. A limiting part 312 is provided on the first connecting segment 310. A notch 3120 is formed at the bottom of one end of the limiting part 312 facing the first rib 1112. During assembly, the first rib 1112 is inserted into the notch 3120, and the third connecting segment 330 of the connector 300 is inserted below the first rib 1112 to form a limiting connection between the connector 300 and the mounting part 110 in the third direction Z.

[0056] Optionally, there may be multiple limiting portions 312, and the top ends of the multiple limiting portions 312 may be integrally connected, for example, the top ends of two limiting portions 312 may be integrally connected to form a U-shape.

[0057] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 4 The first mounting surface 111 extends along a third direction Z. The distance between the first connecting segment 310 and the first mounting surface 111 gradually increases from the top to the bottom. That is, the first connecting segment 310 is inclined from the bottom to the top towards the first mounting surface 111. This arrangement makes the display element 220 of the display module 200 face upward and tilt outward, making it easier for a user standing on the side of the display module 200 to view and operate the display element 220. It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, the first connecting segment 310 may also be set to extend along a third direction Z; or, in other embodiments, the first mounting surface 111 may also be set to be slightly inclined relative to the third direction Z, for example, inclined by 0.3 degrees, 0.5 degrees, etc., which is not the only limitation here.

[0058] It should be noted that the distance between the first connecting segment 310 and the first mounting surface 111 refers to the distance between the first plane of the first connecting segment 310 facing the first mounting surface 111 and the second plane of the first mounting surface 111 facing the first connecting segment 310. In other words, the first plane is inclined relative to the second plane.

[0059] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mounting portion 110 also includes a mounting plate 113, which extends from one end of the second mounting surface 112 away from the first mounting surface 111 in a direction away from another second mounting surface 112, and forms a 90° internal angle with the second mounting surface 112 in the direction toward the connector 300. The mounting plate 113 has a first abutting surface 1131, and the second connecting segment 320 has a second abutting surface 321 away from the first connecting segment 310. The first abutting surface 1131 and the second abutting surface 321 abut against each other. Both the first abutting surface 1131 and the second abutting surface 321 extend along a third direction Z, that is, the second abutting surface 321 forms an angle with the first plane, and the second abutting surface 321 is inclined relative to the first plane, so that the connector 300 is easy to demold after injection molding.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the device host 100 has a first insert 1132, and the second connecting segment 320 includes an arc-shaped plate 322 and a first latching portion 323. The first latching portion 323 is located on the side of the arc-shaped plate 322 away from the first connecting segment 310, and the first latching portion 323 engages with the first insert 1132 to connect the second connecting segment 320 and the device host 100 in the first direction X. In this example, the reliability of the connection between the connector 300 and the mounting portion 110 is ensured by engaging the two second mounting surfaces 112 with the two second connecting segments 320.

[0061] In one example, multiple first card portions 323 can be provided, and the multiple first card portions 323 are distributed at intervals along the third direction Z; in this case, multiple first insert portions 1132 are provided, and one first card portion 323 is inserted into at least one first insert portion 1132. In this way, the connector 300 and the device host 100 can be locked at different points in the third direction Z, further enhancing the connection and fastening effect.

[0062] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The device host 100 is provided with a second insert 1134, which is spaced apart from the first insert 1132 on the third direction Z of the connector 300. The second connecting segment 320 also includes a second locking portion 324, which engages with the second insert 1134 to connect the second connecting segment 320 and the device host 100 in the first direction X. For example, the second insert 1134 can be a through hole penetrating the side wall of the device host 100 along the first direction, and the second locking portion 324 can be a protrusion facing the device host 100. This protrusion can be inserted into the aforementioned through hole when the second connecting segment 320 moves along the second direction Y, thereby locking the device host 100 in the first direction. During assembly, the two second connecting segments 320 can be pressed towards each other to insert the second insert 1134 along the first direction X, and the two second connecting segments 320 can be brought close to the device host 100 along the second direction Y so that the first locking part 323 is inserted into the first insert 1132, and at this time the second locking part 324 abuts against the inside of the device host 100, which can further ensure the reliable connection between the connector 300 and the device host 100.

[0063] In one possible implementation, the first connecting segment 310 and the device host 100 are further connected by fasteners such as screws / bolts to improve the connection strength and assembly reliability of the connector 300 and the device host 100. For details, please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9The first connecting segment 310 has a first threaded post 311 protruding from the first mounting surface 111. The first mounting surface 111 has a first mounting hole 1111. A first fastener, such as a long screw, passes through the first mounting hole 1111 and is inserted into the first threaded post 311 to lock the first mounting surface 111 and the first connecting segment 310 together. There can be multiple first threaded posts 311; for example, first threaded posts 311 can be provided near the four corners of the first mounting surface 111 to ensure a smooth and reliable locking of the first connecting segment 310 and the first mounting surface 111.

[0064] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mounting portion 110 includes a mounting plate 113, which has a first abutting surface 1131, and a second connecting segment 320, which has a second abutting surface 321. The first abutting surface 1131 and the second abutting surface 321 abut against each other and limit each other in the second direction Y. A first insert portion 1132 is formed in the mounting plate 113 and can be a groove recessed in the second direction Y. A first latch portion 323 is formed in the second connecting segment 320 and can be a latch protruding in the second direction Y. The latch is inserted into the groove in the second direction Y and hooks into the groove, thereby locking the second connecting segment 320 and the mounting plate 113 in the second direction Y.

[0065] For details, please refer to Figure 6 The thickness of the first locking portion 323 gradually decreases along the second direction Y, and the first locking portion 323 is inserted into the first insert portion 1132. By setting the thickness of the first locking portion 323 to gradually decrease along the second direction Y, a glue-filling gap is created between the first locking portion 323 and the first insert portion 1132. This facilitates the filling of the glue-filling gap with adhesive such as glue after assembly, achieving bonding between the two and further improving the connection reliability and sealing performance between the connector 300 and the mounting portion 110.

[0066] Optionally, there are multiple first inserts 1132, and each first insert 1132 is distributed sequentially at intervals along the third direction Z; there are multiple first latches 323, and one first latch 323 corresponds to one first insert 1132, so as to increase the number of locking points between the connector 300 and the device host 100 and enhance the reliability of the connection between the two.

[0067] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9The inner wall of the second connecting section 320 extends to form a connecting portion 350, and the first locking portion 323 extends from the connecting portion 350 toward the first insert portion 1132. The connecting portion 350, the first locking portion 323, and the inner wall of the second connecting section 320 together form a third slot 360. The first abutting surface 1131 of the mounting plate 113 is provided with a protruding strip 1133. When the first locking portion 323 is inserted into the first insert portion 1132, the protruding strip 1133 is inserted into the third slot 360, thereby realizing bidirectional locking between the first insert portion 1132 and the first locking portion 323, further improving the connection reliability between the second connecting section 320 and the mounting plate 113.

[0068] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 4 The first mounting surface 111 has a first window 1113, and the first connecting section 310 has a mounting groove 313. The display module 200 communicates with the device host 100 through the mounting groove 313 and the first window 1113. Specifically, the display module 200 and the device host 100 can communicate with each other through wires, cables, flexible circuit boards 240 or rigid circuit boards 240. The wires, cables, flexible circuit boards 240 or rigid circuit boards 240 pass through the first window 1113 and the mounting groove 313 respectively and are electrically connected to the display module 200.

[0069] Please see Figure 4 The display module 200 has a third window 232 on the side facing the device host 100. The third window 232, the mounting groove 313 and the first window 1113 are aligned and connected in sequence. The wires, cables, flexible circuit boards 240 or rigid circuit boards 240 connecting the display module 200 and the device host 100 extend out of the display module 200 through the third window 232 and are connected to the various electrical components inside the device host 100 in sequence through the mounting groove 313 and the first window 1113.

[0070] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The first connecting section 310 has a recessed receiving groove 314 communicating with the mounting groove 313. The display module 200 has a protruding connecting boss 231 on the side opposite to the display component 220. The connecting boss 231 is inserted into the receiving groove 314 and locked by the second fastener 400. The display module 200 is inserted into the connector 300 and limited by the receiving groove 314. This not only improves the connection strength between the display module 200 and the connector 300, but also prevents the display module 200 from falling or tilting due to unstable support when suspended on the connector 300, thus improving the assembly reliability of the milk preparation equipment.

[0071] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11A guide strip 315 extending along the second insertion direction is provided on one inner wall of the receiving groove 314, and a guide groove 2311 is recessed on the outer side of the connecting boss 231. The guide strip 315 and the guide groove 2311 slide in cooperation along the second insertion direction to guide the insertion of the connecting boss 231 and the receiving groove 314, and also to prevent the connecting boss 231 from being inserted into the receiving groove 314 in the wrong direction. Here, the second insertion direction refers to the assembly insertion direction of the connecting boss 231 and the receiving groove 314.

[0072] Specifically, two guide bars 315 are protruding from one side of the inner wall of the receiving groove 314. The two guide bars 315 are distributed at intervals along the first direction X and slide in cooperation with the inner walls of the opposite sides of the guide groove 2311 respectively.

[0073] Specifically, the connecting boss 231 is roughly square in shape. Second mounting holes 2312 can be provided near each corner of the connecting boss 231. Multiple second threaded posts 316 extend from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 314. Each second threaded post 316 is correspondingly provided with a second mounting hole 2312. The second fastener 400 is inserted into the second threaded post 316 through the second mounting hole 2312 to lock the connecting boss 231 and the receiving groove 314 in the second direction Y.

[0074] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The display module 200 includes a display element 220, a housing, and a connecting boss 231. The display element 220 is disposed inside the housing and at least partially exposed outside the housing. The connecting boss 231 is disposed on the side of the housing away from the display element 220 and is inserted into the mounting groove 313 of the connector 300.

[0075] In this embodiment, the housing includes a front shell 210 and a rear shell 230. The front shell 210 has a window, and the display 220 is assembled at the window of the front shell 210 and at least partially exposed. The rear shell 230 and the front shell 210 are interlocked and enclosed to form a mounting cavity, which communicates with the window on the front shell 210. A connecting boss 231 is formed on the side of the rear shell 230 away from the front shell 210, and a third window 232 is formed on the connecting boss 231 and communicates with the aforementioned mounting cavity. The display module 200 also includes a circuit board 240, such as a PCB board. The circuit board 240 is housed in the mounting cavity and is communicatively connected to the display device 220, such as a touch screen. It can transmit the processed information to the display device 220 and display it to the user, making it convenient for the user to understand the usage of the milk preparation equipment and improving the user experience. At the same time, the circuit board 240 is also communicatively connected to various electrical components inside the main unit 100 of the equipment to receive information from each electrical component and transmit the processed information back to each electrical component to guide the operation of each electrical component, thereby realizing intelligent milk preparation.

[0076] For some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 The rear shell 230 has a first end face 233 facing the front shell 210, and the first end face 233 is recessed with a first slot 234 surrounding the mounting cavity. The front shell 210 has a second end face 211 facing the rear shell 230, and the second end face 211 is protruding with a first protruding ring 212 surrounding the mounting cavity. The first end face 233 and the second end face 211 abut against each other, and the first protruding ring 212 is interference-fitted into the first slot 234. The display element 220 is housed in the mounting cavity and at least partially exposed from the front shell 210. The connecting boss 231 is located on the side of the rear shell 230 away from the front shell 210. With this configuration, the assembly between the rear shell 230 and the front shell 210 can be securely made through the interference fit between the first protruding ring 212 and the first slot 234.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, the outer wall surface of the first end face 233 protrudes outward relative to the outer wall surface of the second end face 211. This arrangement allows the outer wall surfaces of the first end face 233 and the second end face 211 to be offset, reducing the assembly pressure between them and improving the assembly effect of the rear shell 230 and the front shell 210.

[0078] Optionally, the outer edge of the first end face 233 protrudes outward relative to the outer edge of the second end face 211 by 0.25mm, 0.26mm, 0.27mm, 0.28mm, 0.29mm, or 0.30mm, etc. The outward protrusion distance of the first end face 233 cannot be too large, as this would cause unevenness between the outer surfaces of the rear shell 230 and the front shell 210, affecting the appearance; conversely, the outward protrusion distance of the first end face 233 cannot be too small, as this would fail to reduce assembly discrepancies. This embodiment limits the outward protrusion distance of the first end face 233 to between 0.25mm and 0.30mm to ensure that the effect of reducing discrepancies is achieved without affecting the appearance. Preferably, the outer edge of the first end face 233 protrudes outward relative to the outer edge of the second end face 211 by 0.28mm.

[0079] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 The first end face 233 has a second protruding ring 235 protruding from it, which is located inside the first slot 234. The inner wall of the front shell 210 has a limiting block 213 protruding from it, and the limiting block 213 and the inner wall of the front shell 210 form a second slot 214 at a distance. The second slot 214 is located inside the first protruding ring 212, and the second protruding ring 235 is inserted into the second slot 214. This arrangement provides a cross-insertion structure between the front shell 210 and the rear shell 230, which can further improve the connection reliability and sealing performance between the front shell 210 and the rear shell 230.

[0080] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 The inner wall of the rear shell 230 is provided with a third engaging portion 236, and the inner wall of the front shell 210 is provided with a fourth engaging portion 215. The third engaging portion 236 and the fourth engaging portion 215 engage with each other. The fourth engaging portion 215 and the inner wall of the front shell 210 form the aforementioned second slot 214, that is, the second slot 214 can be formed using the fourth engaging portion 215; or, the second slot 214 can be formed using the fourth engaging portion 215, while other limiting blocks 213 can also be used to form the second slot 214; or, the second slot 214 can be formed using only the limiting blocks 213, while the fourth engaging portion 215 avoids the second protruding ring 235.

[0081] Optionally, the third latching portion 236 is a card slot and the fourth latching portion 215 is a card block; or, in other embodiments, the third latching portion 236 may be a card block and the fourth latching portion 215 may be a card slot, which is not a unique limitation here.

[0082] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 12The display module 200 also includes a support member 250 disposed in the mounting cavity. The support member 250 is flush with the circuit board 240 and can support the circuit board 240, prevent the circuit board 240 from shaking in the mounting cavity, and improve the assembly stability and reliability of the internal components of the display module 200.

[0083] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The main unit 100 also includes a housing assembly 120, a water supply assembly 130, a powder supply assembly 140, a controller 150, and a shaking base 160. The housing assembly 120 has a generally C-shaped structure. The water supply assembly 130 and the powder supply assembly 140 are located inside the housing assembly 120. The controller 150 is located above the C-shaped opening of the housing assembly 120, and the shaking base 160 is located below the C-shaped opening of the housing assembly 120. A mounting portion 110 is formed above the C-shaped opening of the housing assembly 120 and encloses the controller 150. The powder outlet of the powder supply assembly 140 is located above the shaking base 160 via the controller 150, and is used to release a preset amount of milk powder into the bottle. The water outlet of the water supply assembly 130 is located above the shaking base 160 via the controller 150 and next to the powder outlet of the powder supply assembly 140, and is used to release a preset amount of warm water and / or hot water into the bottle. The controller 150 is used to control the powder dispensing status of the powder supply component 140 and the water dispensing status of the water supply component 130, so that the two work together to intelligently adjust the appropriate powder-to-water ratio; and to control the shaking of the milk shaker 160 and the bottle, so that the milk powder and warm / hot water in the bottle can be mixed evenly without clumping, thereby obtaining high-quality milk.
