A screw squeezer includes a pressing core column body 10, a pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 and a juice collecting cup body 30 which may be vertically and sequentially sleeved, where spiral grooves 11 are configured on a circumferential outer wall of the pressing core column body 10, protruding limiting blocks 21 matching the spiral grooves 11 are arranged at an upper end of a circumferential inner wall of the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20, a bottom of the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 is configured with several filter holes 22, and the pressing core column body 10 may be screwed and pressed into an inner cavity of the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 by means of cooperation between the spiral grooves 11 and the protruding limiting blocks 21, so as to perform residue-liquid separation and squeezing on ingredients in the inner cavity of the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20. During use, the ingredients needing to be squeezed are put into the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 in the squeezer, juice is separated out under a pressing action force of the pressing core column body 10 and leaks into the juice collecting cup body 30 by means of the filter holes 22 at the bottom of the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 for use, the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 is made of stainless steel and has preferable strength and durability, the rest structure may be made of non-metal materials of plastics, etc., and is light and easy to shape.

A top of the pressing core column body 10 is configured with a core column limiting end edge 12, a side edge of the core column limiting end edge 12 is connected to a pressing handle 13, the pressing handle 13 includes a handle part 131 and a pressing part 132 which match each other, first reinforcing ribs 134, 244 being arranged inside the handle part 131 and the pressing part 132 respectively, a diameter of the core column limiting end edge 12 is greater than an outer diameter of the pressing core column body 10, a top of the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 is configured with a filter cup limiting end edge 23, a side edge of the filter cup limiting end edge 23 is connected to a pressure-bearing handle 24, a diameter of the filter cup limiting end edge 23 is greater than an outer diameter of the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20, and the pressure-bearing handle 24 and the pressing handle 13 are of the same structure. The core column limiting end edge 12 has a limiting effect after the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 is sleeved with the pressing core column body 10, the filter cup limiting end edge 23 has a limiting effect after the juice collecting cup body 30 is sleeved with the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20, and a radial size of an outer wall of the core column limiting end edge 12 is consistent with that of an outer wall of the filter cup limiting end edge 23, such that after the pressing core column body 10 and the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 are accommodated and sleeved, the appearance integrity is further improved; an axial direction of the pressing handle 13 is approximately tangent to a circumferential direction of the core column limiting end edge 12, an axial direction of the pressure-bearing handle 24 is approximately tangent to a circumferential direction of the filter cup limiting end edge 23, the pressing handle 13 and the pressure-bearing handle 24 serve as hand force application points during squeezing, and after the pressing core column body 10 is aligned with the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20, the pressing handle 13 and the pressure-bearing handle 24 are pushed and pressed in a direction close to each other, such that the pressing core column body 10 and the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 are relatively and rotatably pressed, and a more labor-saving effect is achieved; and the staggered first reinforcing ribs 134, 244 are arranged inside the pressing handle 13 and the pressure-bearing handle 24, such that the pressing handle and the pressure-bearing handle have higher structural strength, and are more durable.

A height center position of the pressing handle 13 corresponds to a position of a lower edge of the core column limiting end edge 12, and a height center position of the pressure-bearing handle 24 corresponds to a position of an upper edge of the filter cup limiting end edge 23. After the pressing core column body 10 and the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 are sleeved, the pressing handle 13 and the pressure-bearing handle 24 may be located on the same horizontal plane, such that force application and opposite pushing and pressing are facilitated.

A front end and a rear end of one side of the pressing handle 13 towards the pressure-bearing handle 24 are each configured with a pressing limiting boss 133, and a front end and a rear end of one side of the pressure-bearing handle 24 towards the pressing handle 13 are each configured with a pressure-bearing limiting boss 243, such that a touch limiting effect between the pressing handle 13 and the pressure-bearing handle 24 is achieved, when the pressing limiting bosses 133 make contact with the pressure-bearing limiting bosses 243, a certain gap is still reserved between the pressing handle 13 and the pressure-bearing handle 24, such that the pressing handle and the pressure-bearing handle are conveniently separated to rotate reversely after squeezing.

A magnet sheet 1331 is embedded into an end surface of the pressing limiting boss 133 at a rear end of the pressing handle 13, and a magnetic attraction block 2431 is embedded into an end surface of the pressure-bearing limiting boss 243 at a rear end of the pressure-bearing handle 24. The pressing handle 13 and the pressure-bearing handle 24 are both formed by splicing two half shell structures, such that the magnet sheet 1331 and the magnetic attraction block 2431 are conveniently loaded into the pressing handle and the pressure-bearing handle, and moreover, hollow structures of the pressing handle and the pressure-bearing handle make the whole screw squeezer lighter, thereby saving materials. When the squeezer is stored, the pressing core column body 10 and the pressure-bearing filter cup body 20 are in a completely sleeved rotation state, in such a case, the end surfaces of the pressing limiting bosses 133 make contact with the end surfaces of the pressure-bearing limiting bosses 243, and the pressing handle 13 and the pressure-bearing handle 24 are fixed together through a magnetic force generated by mutual attraction of the magnet sheet 1331 and the magnetic attraction block 2431, where connection modes of the pressing limiting bosses 133 and the pressure-bearing limiting bosses 243 are not limited to a magnetic attraction mode, and may be other modes, for example, a bonding buckle, a buckle, etc.
