For a better understanding of the solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the following describes the specific working procedure of the above embodiment, please refer to fig. 11, fig. 4 and fig. 6:

in operation, the liquid 240 is placed into the body 210 of the cup assembly 200, and the substance 422 to be brewed is placed into the brewing cassette body 420 of the brewing assembly 400, and the motor 120 starts to rotate by activating the button 230, which drives the rotary pump blade 320 to rotate in a fixed direction. At this time, the liquid 240 in the cup assembly 200 enters the liquid conduit 310 through the first water inlet 2211, the water inlet 3111 and the second water inlet 311, and the motor 120 rotates to drive the rotary pump blade 320 to rotate, so that the liquid 240 can enter the third water inlet 4211 under the dual functions of the thrust provided by the rotary pump blade 320 and the guidance of the liquid conduit 310, and then enter the brewing box body 420 through the third water inlet 4211 to mix with the substance 422 to be brewed, and begin to extract the beverage.

Secondly, because the coupling plug 140 on the motor shaft 121 drives the coupling female seat 433 to rotate, because the coupling female seat 433 is connected with the sun gear, the coupling female seat 433 can drive the sun gear 434 to rotate, the sun gear 434 drives the planet gear 431 to rotate, and because the planet gear 431 is fixed between the planet gear fixing plate 450 and the top cover 440, finally drives the planet gear outer gear ring 432 to rotate, and finally drives the brewing box body 420 to rotate around the motor shaft 121, the liquid 240 and the substance 422 to be brewed are simultaneously moved in the direction far away from the axis 1211 of the motor shaft by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the brewing box body 420 until the inner side wall 423 of the brewing box body 420 is stuck. At the inner side wall 423, due to the action of the filter screen, the substance 422 to be brewed is separated from the brewed beverage under the continuous action of centrifugal force, and after the brewed beverage is extracted, the brewed beverage flows out from the water outlet 4231 and enters the cup body; wherein the liquid 240 circulates through points a, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, after which the brewed beverage is obtained.

When the extraction of the brewed beverage is completed, the program placed in the circuit board 600 may or may not change the direction of the motor 120. When the program placed in the circuit board 600 changes the direction of the motor 120, the rotary pump blade 320 is reversed, so that the liquid 240 is stopped from being delivered into the brewing cassette body 420, and the separation of the brewed beverage in the brewing cassette body 420 from the substance 422 to be brewed at the water outlet 4231 can be realized due to the continuous centrifugal force of the brewing cassette body 420.
