For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 8The image shows a dewatering device of this invention, used for dewatering fruits and vegetables. It includes a dewatering seat 10, a top cover assembly 20, and a pressing assembly 60. The dewatering seat 10 has an inner side with an upper opening pressing chamber 11, and its outer wall has a radially protruding retaining member 12. The top cover assembly 20 includes a connector 30, a rotating member 40 rotatably connected to the connector 30, and a sealing cover 50. The inner wall of the connector 30 has a positioning member 34, which includes multiple positioning grooves 341 equidistantly arranged along the axial direction of the connector 30. The connector 30 is detachably connected to the dewatering seat 10. The pressing assembly 60 includes a movable member 70 threadedly connected to the rotating member 40, an elastic element 80 connected to the lower end of the movable member 70, and a pressure plate 90 connected to the lower end of the elastic element 80.

[0035] Before dehydration, the fruit and vegetable raw materials are placed in the squeezing chamber 11, and the top cover assembly 20 covers the dehydration seat 10, so that the locking piece 12 engages with any of the positioning slots 341. During operation, rotating the rotating component 40, under the action of threaded transmission, drives the movable part 70 to move axially along the squeezing chamber 11, thereby driving the pressing plate 90 to move axially along the squeezing chamber 11 to dehydrate the fruit and vegetable raw materials in the squeezing chamber 11. The engagement of the locking piece 12 with the positioning slot 341 restricts the rotation of the connecting piece 30 relative to the dehydration seat 10, so that when the rotating component 40 rotates, the connecting piece 30 and the dehydration seat 10 remain relatively stationary, improving working stability. In addition, the positioning component 34 is provided with multiple positioning slots 341 of different heights, so the locking piece 12 can be selectively engaged with any of the positioning slots 341 according to the different volumes of fruit and vegetable raw materials, adjusting the relative distance between the top cover assembly 20 and the dehydration seat 10, which is equivalent to adjusting the capacity of the dehydration seat 10, thereby adapting to the dehydration needs of different volumes of fruit and vegetable raw materials.

[0036] Please see Figure 6 The bottom of the squeezing seat 10 is provided with a drain hole 13 that communicates with the squeezing chamber 11. A plug 14, which is detachably connected to the drain hole 13, is provided at the drain hole 13. The plug 14 is made of deformable rubber. During squeezing, the plug 14 can block the drain hole 13 to prevent leakage; after squeezing is completed, the plug 14 is pulled out, and the water squeezed out of the fruit and vegetable raw materials flows out through the drain hole 13. The bottom drainage structure and the plug 14 improve the ease of operation. The outer wall of the squeezing seat 10 is provided with a groove 15. The groove 15 forms a radial drop on the outer wall of the squeezing seat 10, which facilitates the assembly of the top cover assembly 20 and maintains the flatness of the appearance.

[0037] Please see Figure 8The locking component 12 includes an integrally formed root portion 121 and a locking portion 122. The bottom of the locking portion 122 is provided with a locking platform 123 extending toward the water-squeezing base 10. The locking platform 123 is used to engage with the positioning groove 341 to achieve the locking of the locking component 12 and the positioning groove 341. Specifically, the length of the locking platform 123 is the same as the length of the positioning groove 341, achieving limiting in both the front and rear directions. In addition, the axial width of the locking portion 122 gradually decreases in the direction away from the root portion 121. The locking portion 122 adopts a tapered width design, which facilitates the insertion of the locking portion 122 into the positioning component 34 and reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connector 30 includes an annular assembly platform 31, a ring-shaped connecting kit 32 located at the bottom of the assembly platform 31 and extending toward the wringer seat 10, and a guide sleeve 33 located at the center of the assembly platform 31.

[0039] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown, the top of the assembly platform 31 is provided with an annular sealing groove 311, and a sealing strip 312 is provided inside the sealing groove 311. During assembly, the bottom edge of the rotating component 40 is assembled into the sealing groove 311, and then the sealing cover 50 is installed onto the connector 30. The sealing cover 50 abuts against the rotating component 40. This structure improves the sealing performance between the top cover assembly 20 and the rotating component 40. The positioning component 34 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting kit 32. When the connector 30 is assembled onto the squeezing seat 10, the connecting kit 32 is assembled into the groove 15 on the outer side of the squeezing seat 10, ensuring a smooth appearance. A guide groove 331 is vertically provided on the inner wall of the guide sleeve 33.

[0040] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The rotating component 40 includes a knob 41 rotatably connected to the connecting member 30 and a transmission member 42 fixedly connected to the inner side of the knob 41; the transmission member 42 is coaxially arranged with the knob 41; the movable member 70 is provided with an internal threaded hole 71, and the outer wall of the transmission member 42 is provided with an external thread 421 that mates with the internal threaded hole 71. A connecting shaft 422 is provided at the top of the transmission member 42, and a connecting member 411 is provided at the top of the inner side of the knob 41. The connecting shaft 422 is inserted into the connecting member 411. At the same time, the outer wall of the connecting shaft 422 and the inner wall of the connecting member 411 are provided with corresponding flat positions 412. The cooperation of the two flat positions 412 realizes the synchronous rotation of the transmission member 42 and the knob 41. Therefore, when in use, the user rotates the outer knob 41, at which time the transmission member 42 rotates synchronously, and under the action of the thread, it drives the movable member 70 to move axially along the extrusion chamber 11.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 8The positioning member 34 includes a connecting rod 342 vertically connected to the inner wall of the connector 30 and a plurality of horizontally extending crossbars 343 connected to one side of the connecting rod 342. The crossbars 343 are provided with a recessed section 344 facing the water-squeezing seat 10, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the recessed section 344 and the side wall of the connecting rod 342 form a positioning groove 341. Specifically, the end of the crossbar 343 away from the connecting rod 342 is provided with an guide slope 345. The guide slope 345 slopes upward from the free end of the crossbar 343 toward the connecting rod 342. The guide slope 345 guides the locking part 122 of the clamp 12, reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0042] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The outer wall of the movable part 70 is provided with a guide protrusion 72, which is slidably connected in the guide groove 331 to ensure the vertical movement of the movable part 70, thereby preventing the pressure plate 90 from shifting and affecting the squeezing effect. In addition, in this embodiment, the elastic element 80 is a metal spring, which plays a buffering role. The pressure plate 90 adopts a downward arched arc structure to improve the squeezing effect.

[0043] Compared to existing technologies, the water squeezer of this utility model achieves the function of squeezing fruits and vegetables of different volumes by setting a detachable snap-fit ​​structure between the water squeezing seat 10 with a snap-fit ​​piece 12 and the connector 30 with a positioning member 34, and cooperating with the threaded transmission structure of the rotating member 40 and the movable member 70. The snap-fit ​​piece 12 and the positioning member 34 with positioning grooves 341 of different heights can selectively snap-fit ​​to adapt to different volumes of fruit and vegetable raw materials, improving squeezing efficiency. In addition, the guide slope 345 of the crossbar 343 in the positioning member 34, combined with the tapered design of the snap-fit ​​part 122 in the snap-fit ​​piece 12, makes the assembly operation labor-saving and the positioning stable. The rotating member 40 includes a synchronously rotating knob 41 and a transmission member 42. The transmission member 42 is threadedly engaged with the movable member 70, and cooperates with the sliding limit structure of the guide protrusion 72 and the guide groove 331 to ensure that the pressing plate 90 moves in a straight line and avoids deflection that affects the squeezing effect. This water squeezer has the advantages of convenient operation, high squeezing efficiency and structural reliability, which can significantly improve the user experience.

[0044] The above description merely illustrates the preferred technical solution of this utility model, and while the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
