The slider 150 is movably disposed to the face cover assembly 121 between an initial position and a biased position, the initial position of the slider 150 being closer to the mounting portion 124 relative to the biased position. In an embodiment, the slider 150 moves in a horizontal direction. One end of the elastic member 160 is mounted to the switch assembly 170, and the opposite end of the elastic member 160 abuts against the slider 150 and is capable of applying a force toward the initial position to the slider 150. Preferably, the elastic member 160 is spiral compression elastic.

As shown in fig. 3 to 7, the slider 150 is provided with a blocking portion 151, the steam cap assembly 140 is provided with a matching portion 141, when the steam cup assembly 130 is not disposed on the face cap assembly 121, the slider 150 is maintained at an initial position under the force of the elastic member 160, and interference occurs between the blocking portion 151 and the matching portion 141 to block the steam cap assembly 140 from moving to a covering position, thereby avoiding neglected loading of the steam cup assembly 130. When the steam cup assembly 130 is disposed on the face cover assembly 121, the slider 150 is pushed by the steam cup assembly 130 from the initial position to the biased position, so that the blocking portion 151 is moved relative to the fitting portion 141 to release the interference between the blocking portion 151 and the fitting portion 141, whereby the steam cup assembly 130 can be moved to the covering position.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the switch assembly 170 is provided with an opening 172 disposed facing the steam cover assembly 140, i.e., the opening 172 is opened upward. The blocking portion 151 is disposed at the opening 172 to be exposed from the opening 172, and the blocking portion 151 moves in the opening 172 with the movement of the slider 150, i.e., may move between the initial position and the biased position.

The switch assembly 170 is provided with a protrusion 171, and the protrusion 171 is configured as a cylindrical structure extending in a horizontal direction. The slider 150 is provided with a mounting groove 152 opened toward the protrusion 171, one end of the elastic member 160 is fitted over the protrusion 171 and abuts against a side wall of the switch assembly 170, and the opposite end of the elastic member 160 is inserted into the mounting groove 152. In one embodiment, not shown, one end of the elastic member is provided to the face cap assembly, for example, the face cap assembly is provided with a projection configured in a cylindrical shape.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the mounting portion 124 of the surface cover assembly 121 is provided with a limiting surface 125, and the limiting surface 125 is disposed on one side of the slider 150 where the mounting groove 152 is disposed. When the sliding block 150 is located at the initial position, one side of the sliding block 150, which is provided with the mounting groove 152, abuts against the limiting surface 125 to limit the sliding block 150 at the initial position.

As shown in fig. 5, a side of the slider 150 facing the stopper surface 125 is provided with an inclined guide surface 153 and an abutting surface 154 connected to the guide surface 153. The angle between the guide surface 153 and the abutment surface 154 is an obtuse angle, and the abutment surface 154 is a vertically disposed plane. During installation of the steam cup assembly 130 to the face cap assembly 121, the insulating collar 132 of the steam cup assembly 130 abuts against the guide surface 153. Because the guide surface 153 is obliquely disposed, the downward force of the steam cup assembly 130 has a component in the horizontal direction on the guide surface 153 to push the steam cup assembly 130 toward the biased position. In the state where the steam cup assembly 130 is disposed on the face cover assembly 121, the insulating collar 132 abuts against the abutment face 154 to restrain the slider 150 in the biased position.
