[0022] In related technologies, existing juicers generally include a base, a drive motor, a cup body, and a screw. The cup body is mounted on the base, the screw is rotatably mounted inside the cup body, and the drive motor is located on the base and is connected to the screw to drive the screw to juice the fruit. The cup body has a juice outlet and a sealing assembly. The cup body has a juice outlet, and the juice outlet is connected to the juice outlet. The sealing assembly is rotatably mounted on the juice outlet to open or close the juice outlet. Because users need to manually adjust the sealing assembly, the user experience is poor.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 6A juicer according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a body assembly 100, a cup assembly 200, a juicing assembly, a sealing assembly 300, a drive assembly 400, and a sensing element 500. The body assembly 100 has an output end. The cup assembly 200 is disposed on the body assembly 100 and includes a cup body 210 and a juice outlet pipe 220 connected to the cup body 210. The cup body 210 has a juicing chamber 211 for juicing and a juice outlet. The juice outlet pipe 220 has a juice outlet channel 221, which communicates with the juicing chamber 211 through the juice outlet. The juicing assembly is rotatably disposed in the juicing chamber 211. The output end is connected to the juicing assembly. The sealing assembly 300... The sealing component 300 is movably mounted on the juice outlet tube 220 or the cup body 210, so that the sealing component 300 can be in an open state of opening the juice outlet channel 221 or a closed state of closing the juice outlet channel 221. The drive component 400 is mounted on the body component 100, and the output shaft of the drive component 400 is connected to the sealing component 300, so that the sealing component 300 can switch between the open state and the closed state. The sensing element 500 is mounted on the body component 100 and is electrically connected to the drive component 400 to control the start or stop of the drive component 400. This allows the sealing component 300 to automatically open or close the juice outlet channel 221, so that the user does not need to manually operate the sealing component 300, thereby improving the user experience.

[0024] For example, when the juicer is working, the output end drives the juicing component to rotate, so as to juice the fruit. After juicing is completed, the sensor 500 is triggered. The sensor 500 sends a first electrical signal to the drive component 400, so that the drive component 400 drives the blocking component 300 to move, so that the blocking component 300 switches to the open state, the juice outlet channel 221 opens, so that the juice in the juicing chamber 211 can flow into the juice outlet pipe 220 through the juice outlet, so that the user can collect the juice. After the juice is collected, the sensor 500 sends a second electrical signal to the drive component 400, so that the drive component 400 drives the blocking component 300 to move in the opposite direction, and the blocking component 300 switches from the open state to the closed state, so as to close the juice outlet channel 221. The blocking component 300 can automatically open or close the juice outlet channel 221, so that the user does not need to manually operate the blocking component 300, thereby improving the user experience.

[0025] It should be noted that one of the first and second electrical signals is a low-level signal and the other is a high-level signal; this is not a restriction.

[0026] It should be noted that the juicing component is a screw, and there are no restrictions on its use.

[0027] In this embodiment, the juicer also includes a juice cup 600, with a magnet 610 at the bottom of the juice cup 600. The sensing element 500 is a Hall sensor. The body assembly 100 has a support part 110, and the sensing element 500 is located on the support part 110. When the juice cup 600 is placed on the support part 110, the magnet 610 triggers the sensing element 500, causing the drive assembly 400 to drive the sealing assembly 300 to switch from the closed state to the open state. This can prevent accidental triggering and ensure that the juice cup 600 will only automatically open the juice outlet channel 221 when it is correctly placed, thereby improving the safety of the juicer.

[0028] For example, the Hall sensor is a magnetic field sensor made based on the Hall effect. The support part 110 is located below the juice outlet end of the juice channel 221. When the juice cup 600 is placed on the support part 110, the magnet 610 triggers the sensing element 500, so that the drive assembly 400 drives the sealing assembly 300 to switch from the closed state to the open state. Juice falls from the juice channel 221 into the juice cup 600, which can prevent accidental triggering and ensure that the juice cup 600 will only automatically open the juice channel 221 when it is correctly placed, thereby improving the safety of the juicer.

[0029] In this embodiment, the juicer also includes a juice cup 600, and the body assembly 100 has a support portion 110. A sensing element 500 is disposed on the support portion 110. The sensing element 500 is a micro switch or a force detection sensor. When the juice cup 600 is placed on the support portion 110, the juice cup 600 triggers the sensing element 500, so that the drive assembly 400 drives the sealing assembly 300 to switch from the closed state to the open state. This can prevent false triggering and ensure that the juice cup 600 will only automatically open the juice outlet channel 221 when it is correctly placed, thereby improving the safety of the juicer.

[0030] For example, when the juice cup 600 is placed on the support 110, the juice cup 600 triggers the sensing element 500 under its own weight, so that the drive component 400 drives the sealing component 300 to switch from the closed state to the open state. This can prevent accidental triggering and ensure that the juice cup 600 will only automatically open the juice outlet channel 221 when it is correctly placed, thereby improving the safety of the juicer.

[0031] In another implementation, the sensing component can also be a voice signal processor, which can convert the recognized voice signal into an electrical signal to control the start or stop of the driving component 400. For example, the voice signal can be "open the juice channel 221" or "close the juice channel 221". After receiving the voice signal "open the juice channel 221", the sensing component starts the driving component 400 to switch the blocking component 300 to the open state. After receiving the voice signal "close the juice channel 221", the sensing component starts the driving component 400 to switch the blocking component 300 to the closed state. No limitation is made here.

[0032] In this embodiment, the blocking assembly 300 includes a blocking member 310 and a connecting member 320. The middle position of the connecting member 320 is hinged to the juice outlet pipe 220. The blocking member 310 is located at one end of the connecting member 320. The blocking member 310 can open or close the juice outlet channel 221. The driving assembly 400 is connected to the connecting member 320 so that the blocking member 310 can open or close the juice outlet channel 221. The driving assembly 400 can effectively transmit and convert the action of the driving assembly 400 into the opening and closing movement of the blocking member 310.

[0033] It should be noted that the sealing component 310 is a flexible component such as silicone or rubber. When the sealing component 310 closes the juice outlet channel 221, the sealing component 310 deforms to make the sealing component 310 seal against the inner wall of the juice outlet channel 221. The drive assembly 400 rotates through the drive connector 320, thereby driving the sealing component 310 to enter or exit the juice outlet channel 221. The action of the drive assembly 400 can be effectively transmitted and converted into the opening and closing motion of the sealing component 310.

[0034] In another implementation, the blocking component 300 includes a blocking member 310. The output end of the drive component 400 is directly connected to the blocking member 310. The output end of the drive component 400 can move the blocking member 310 into or out of the juice outlet channel 221 by telescopic movement, which can also enable the blocking member 310 to open or close the juice outlet channel 221. No limitation is made here.

[0035] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 400 includes a drive member 410 and a transmission member 420. The drive member 410 is disposed on the body assembly 100. The transmission member 420 is connected to the output shaft of the drive member 410 at its middle position. The two ends of the transmission member 420 are respectively provided with a first pressing part 421 and a second pressing part 422. When the sealing assembly 300 is in the closed state, the first pressing part 421 abuts against the end of the connector 320 that is connected to the sealing member 310. When the sealing assembly 300 is in the open state, the second pressing part 422 abuts against the end of the connector 320 that is away from the sealing member 310. The opening and closing of the sealing member 310 can be efficiently completed by the forward and reverse rotation of a single drive member 410.

[0036] For example, the first pressing part 421 is located at the upper end of the transmission member 420, and the second pressing part 422 is located at the lower end of the transmission member 420. When the sealing assembly 300 is in the open state, the second pressing part 422 abuts against the lower end of the connector 320, and the first pressing part 421 is separated from the upper end of the connector 320. When the sealing assembly 300 is in the closed state, the first pressing part 421 abuts against the upper end of the connector 320, and the second pressing part 422 is separated from the lower end of the connector 320. The opening and closing of the sealing member 310 can be efficiently completed by the forward and reverse rotation of a single driving member 410.

[0037] It should be noted that the drive assembly 400 includes a drive component 410, which directly drives the connecting component 320 to move, and can also enable the sealing component 310 to open or close the juice outlet channel 221, which is not limited here.

[0038] In this embodiment, the juice outlet channel 221 is inclined downward along the direction away from the cup body 210, so that the juice can flow out of the juice outlet tube 220 under its own gravity, making it convenient for users to collect the juice.

[0039] For example, the juice outlet channel 221 is inclined downwards and horizontally, with the end of the juice outlet tube 220 away from the cup body 210 being lower than the juice outlet position, so that the juice can flow out of the juice outlet tube 220 under its own gravity, making it convenient for users to collect the juice.

[0040] In this embodiment, a controller is also included. The controller is located on the body assembly 100. The sensing element 500 is electrically connected to the drive assembly 400 through the controller. The controller can control the start or stop of the drive assembly 400 according to the sensing signal of the sensing element 500. It can realize intelligent management of the sensing signal and the action of the drive assembly 400, which not only improves the stability and anti-interference ability of the control process, but also enhances the intelligence and reliability of the juicer.

[0041] It should be noted that the controller can be a chip or a PLC or other control element, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0042] In this embodiment, the juicer also includes a pulp discharge bucket 700, which is detachably installed on the body assembly 100. The cup body 210 is provided with a pulp discharge channel 212 that communicates with the juicing chamber 211. The pulp discharge bucket 700 is used to collect the fruit pulp discharged from the pulp discharge channel 212. On the one hand, it can facilitate the collection of fruit pulp, and on the other hand, it can facilitate the user to clean the fruit pulp in the pulp discharge bucket 700.

[0043] For example, the pulp discharge bucket 700 is located on the side of the body assembly 100 away from the juice outlet pipe 220. When the juicer is working, the pulp and juice are discharged from the two sides of the cup body 210 respectively. Since the pulp discharge bucket 700 is detachably connected to the body assembly 100, it is convenient to collect the pulp on the one hand, and convenient for the user to clean the pulp in the pulp discharge bucket 700 on the other hand.

[0044] In this embodiment, the juicer also includes a feeding cylinder 800, which has a feeding channel 810 that connects to the juicing chamber 211. The feeding cylinder 800 is detachably connected to the cup body 210. Along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the feeding cylinder 800, the maximum width of the cross-section of the feeding channel 810 is greater than the maximum width of the cross-section of the juicing chamber 211, which can provide a larger feeding space. Users do not need to cut the fruit into very small pieces before feeding, making the feeding process smoother and less prone to clogging.

[0045] For example, the feeding cylinder 800 can be detachably connected to the cup body 210 by snap-fit ​​or threaded connection. Since the maximum width of the cross-section of the feeding channel 810 is greater than the maximum width of the cross-section of the juicing chamber 211 along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the feeding cylinder 800, it can provide a larger feeding space. Users do not need to cut the fruit into small pieces before feeding, making the feeding process smoother and less prone to clogging.

[0046] In this embodiment, the juicer also includes a cover 900, which is rotatably connected to the feed cylinder 800 to open or close the feed channel 810. When no material is being fed, the feed channel 810 is closed, which can prevent the user's hand or other foreign objects from accidentally entering the juicer during operation, thereby improving the safety of the juicer.

However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
