Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a food processor with smooth pulp discharging. BACKGROUND

[0002] The food processor is usually provided with a pulp outlet nozzle, after food processing, the food is discharged through the pulp outlet nozzle for the user to eat. In order to ensure the efficiency of the pulp discharging, the inclination angle of the pulp outlet nozzle has a high requirement.

[0003] Some food processors reduce the inclination angle of the pulp outlet nozzle with the horizontal direction to reduce the height of the whole machine, which results in a slow flow rate of the pulp, an increased discharging time and a low discharging efficiency. In addition, after the discharging is completed, the remaining pulp in the pipeline will slowly drip down along the pipeline, which will cause the tabletop or the surface of the machine, and increase the user's cleaning burden, resulting in a poor user experience. Moreover, the height of the pulp outlet nozzle is high, and the pulp will splash during the discharging process, which not only causes waste but also reduces the cleanliness of the tabletop and the machine.

[0004] Some food processors set a large inclination angle of the pulp outlet nozzle to improve the discharging efficiency, but this will reduce the height of the pulp outlet nozzle, and when the user takes or places the cup for receiving the pulp, the cup will interfere with the pulp outlet nozzle, which is inconvenient for the user to use. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve one or more technical problems in the prior art, or at least provide an alternative, the present application provides a food processor with smooth pulp discharging to improve the discharging efficiency.

[0006] The food processor with smooth pulp discharging disclosed by the present application comprises a main machine, a cup assembly, a discharging valve and a pulp outlet nozzle with a discharging channel, the main machine is provided with a motor, the pulp outlet nozzle comprises a liquid inlet connected with the discharging valve and a liquid outlet located above the liquid receiving cup, the main machine is further provided with a driving member, the pulp outlet nozzle moves relative to the driving member, so that at least part of the pulp outlet nozzle moves between a first position and a second position to change the inclination angle of the discharging channel.

[0007] The inner cavity of the cup assembly is provided with a processing assembly for processing food, and after processing, the food and slurry are discharged through the slurry outlet. The main machine is also provided with a driving member, and the relative movement of the driving member and the slurry outlet enables the slurry outlet to be at least in a first position or a second position, thereby changing the inclination angle of the discharge channel, so that the inclination angle of the discharge channel is adjustable, so that the inclination angle of the discharge channel can be adjusted according to the different states of the food processor. On the basis of reducing the height of the whole machine, the efficiency of slurry discharge is ensured, and the user is facilitated to use and improve the use experience. For example, when the liquid receiving cup is taken out, the inclination angle between the discharge channel and the horizontal plane is reduced, so that the slurry outlet is more close to the horizontal plane to avoid the liquid receiving cup, so that the liquid receiving cup is conveniently inserted into the lower part of the slurry outlet or taken out from the lower part of the slurry outlet, and interference between the liquid receiving cup and the slurry outlet is avoided. When discharging, the inclination angle between the discharge channel and the horizontal plane is increased, which is more conducive to the discharge of slurry, accelerates the flow speed of the slurry, and improves the slurry discharge efficiency.

[0008] In a preferred implementation, the first position and the second position have a height difference in the vertical direction, and when the slurry outlet moves from the first position to the second position, the liquid outlet is away from the liquid receiving cup mouth in height, and when the slurry outlet moves from the second position to the first position, the liquid outlet is close to the liquid receiving cup mouth in height.

[0009] By changing the height difference between the first position and the second position of the slurry outlet, the inclination angle of the slurry outlet can be quickly changed. When moving from the first position to the second position, the slurry outlet moves upward away from the liquid receiving cup mouth, which is conducive to the taking and placing of the liquid receiving cup. When moving from the second position to the first position, the slurry outlet moves downward, which can reduce the slurry discharge height during slurry discharge, reduce the problem of slurry splashing, and improve the user's use experience.

[0010] In a preferred implementation, when the slurry outlet is in the first position, the inclination angle of the discharge channel relative to the horizontal plane is greater than when the slurry outlet is in the second position.

[0011] When the pulp outlet nozzle is in the first position, the height difference between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet is increased (the liquid inlet is higher and the liquid outlet is lower), the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel relative to the horizontal plane is larger, so the pulp liquid in the pulp discharge channel has a faster flow speed under the action of gravity, which can be quickly discharged from the liquid outlet, thereby improving the liquid discharge efficiency, and the height of the liquid outlet is lower, which can also alleviate the splashing of the pulp liquid, keep the main machine or desktop clean, and improve the user experience. When in the second position, the height difference between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet is smaller, and the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel relative to the horizontal plane is smaller, so on the one hand it can avoid the liquid cup, making it convenient to take and place the liquid cup, and on the other hand the flow speed of food residues or pulp liquid in the liquid discharge channel is slower, which can reduce the risk of food residues or pulp liquid dripping from the inside of the pulp outlet nozzle in the second position, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the main machine or desktop.

[0012] In a preferred implementation manner, when the pulp outlet nozzle is in the second position, the liquid discharge channel is inclined upward along the liquid discharge direction.

[0013] In a non-pulp discharge state, by changing the shape of the pulp outlet nozzle, the liquid discharge channel can be inclined upward, which can prevent food residues or pulp liquid from flowing downward in the liquid discharge channel due to gravity, thereby effectively preventing food residues or pulp liquid from dripping from the inside of the pulp outlet nozzle.

[0014] In a preferred implementation manner, the liquid receiving cup includes a first liquid receiving cup and a second liquid receiving cup, the first position includes a first liquid discharge position where the liquid outlet corresponds to the first liquid receiving cup and a second liquid discharge position where the liquid outlet corresponds to the second liquid receiving cup, and the liquid discharge valve drives the pulp outlet nozzle to rotate between the first liquid discharge position and the second liquid discharge position, and the second position includes a rotating position where the pulp outlet nozzle is separated from the first liquid discharge position and the second liquid discharge position.

[0015] The first liquid receiving cup and the second liquid receiving cup can be used to receive liquid, and the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel is obviously increased at the first liquid discharge position or the second liquid discharge position, thereby improving the pulp discharge efficiency. In the rotating position, the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel is smaller, which can avoid interference with the cup opening of the liquid receiving cup during rotation, ensure that the pulp outlet nozzle does not interfere with the outside of the liquid receiving cup when discharging pulp, and can accurately locate the area of the cup opening of the liquid receiving cup for discharging pulp.

[0016] In a preferred implementation manner, the driving member includes a protruding rib protruding on the main machine, and the protruding rib is arranged on the rotating path of the pulp outlet nozzle to change the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel.

[0017] The inclined angle of the liquid discharge channel is changed by the convex rib, and the structure is simple without the need to set a complex driving structure. In addition, the convex rib is located on the rotating path of the slurry outlet nozzle, so that the user does not need to deliberately adjust the posture of the slurry outlet nozzle. Only the liquid outlet of the slurry outlet nozzle is rotated to above the liquid receiving cup, and the convex rib and the slurry outlet nozzle can automatically abut, so as to adjust the inclined angle of the liquid discharge channel, simplify the operation steps, and make the operation more convenient.

[0018] In the preferred implementation, the convex rib includes a first convex rib and a second convex rib, the first convex rib is arranged at the first liquid discharge position, and the second convex rib is arranged at the second liquid discharge position.

[0019] The first convex rib and the second convex rib are arranged at the first liquid discharge position corresponding to the first liquid receiving cup and the second liquid discharge position corresponding to the second liquid receiving cup, respectively. When the slurry outlet nozzle is rotated to the first liquid discharge position and the second liquid discharge position, the inclined angle of the liquid discharge channel can be increased by the convex rib, so that the liquid discharge is smooth no matter whether the liquid is discharged to the first liquid receiving cup or the second liquid receiving cup, and the user experience is better.

[0020] In the preferred implementation, the convex rib includes a driving part and a guide part. When the slurry outlet nozzle is in the rotating position, the guide part is separated from or tends to be separated from the convex rib, and / or the guide part is close to or abuts against the convex rib.

[0021] The guide part is matched to guide the slurry outlet nozzle to contact and move relative to the convex rib more smoothly, reduce the jamming, and the existence of the guide part reduces the frictional resistance between the slurry outlet nozzle and the convex rib, so that the slurry outlet nozzle is more labor-saving when driven to move.

[0022] In the preferred implementation, when the slurry outlet nozzle is in the first position, the inclined angle of the liquid discharge channel is a, and when the slurry outlet nozzle is in the second position, the inclined angle of the liquid discharge channel is b, and 2°≤a-b≤20°.

[0023] If the inclined angle difference of the liquid discharge channel of the slurry outlet nozzle at the first position and the second position is too small, the upward movement range of the slurry outlet nozzle is small, and the avoidance of the liquid receiving cup cannot be obviously formed. If the inclined angle difference of the liquid discharge channel of the slurry outlet nozzle at the first position and the second position is too large, a longer driving path of the driving member is needed to be realized, which is not conducive to the realization, and the driving member is easy to interfere with the liquid receiving cup when the liquid receiving cup is taken and placed. By limiting the inclined angle difference of the slurry outlet nozzle at the first position and the second position to be between 2° and 20°, the avoidance of the liquid receiving cup can be ensured while a large inclined angle of the liquid discharge channel is formed to ensure the liquid discharge effect.

[0024] In the preferred implementation, the driving member is movably arranged on the host or the liquid discharge valve, and drives the slurry outlet nozzle to move between the first position and the second position.

[0025] By setting the driving member on the main machine or the liquid discharge valve, active driving is formed when the pulp outlet nozzle is driven, and adjustment of the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel is realized. The driving member can generate a force on the pulp outlet nozzle, including deforming the pulp outlet nozzle or moving the whole pulp outlet nozzle, to change the position of the pulp outlet nozzle, and can ensure the reliability and accuracy of switching the pulp outlet nozzle between the first position and the second position.

[0038] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present application, the following will be described in detail in an exemplary manner in conjunction with the drawings.

[0039] It should be noted that the description is made in the following description with a lot of specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the protection scope of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

For example, in the present application, the direction in which the sweeping robot travels is defined as "front" or "front", and the opposite direction is defined as "back" or "back". For another example, when defining the surface to be cleaned by the sweeping robot, the direction perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned is the vertical direction, and the direction parallel to the surface to be cleaned is the horizontal direction, which is based on the conventional running state of the sweeping robot and is known to those skilled in the art.

[0041] In the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connecting", "fixing" and the like should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrated; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] In the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the first feature is "on" or "under" the second feature, which can be direct contact between the first and second features, or indirect contact between the first and second features through an intermediate medium. In the description of the present application, the description of the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In the present specification, the illustrative description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0043] The specific solutions adopted by the present application are as follows:

[0044] As shown in Figures 1-5 A food processor with smooth pulp discharge, comprising a main machine 1, a cup assembly, a liquid discharge valve and a pulp outlet nozzle 2 with a liquid discharge channel 23, the main machine 1 is provided with a motor, the pulp outlet nozzle 2 comprises a liquid inlet 21 connected with the liquid discharge valve and a liquid outlet 22 located above a liquid receiving cup 3, and the main machine 1 is further provided with a driving member, the pulp outlet nozzle 2 moves relative to the driving member, so that at least part of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 moves between a first position and a second position to change the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23.

[0045] The inner cavity of the cup assembly is provided with a processing assembly for processing food, and after processing is completed, the food and pulp liquid are discharged through the pulp outlet nozzle 2. The main machine 1 is further provided with a driving member, and the relative movement between the driving member and the pulp outlet nozzle 2 enables the pulp outlet nozzle 2 to be at least in the first position or the second position, thereby changing the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23, so that the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 is adjustable, and thus the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 can be adjusted according to different states of the food processor. On the basis of reducing the height of the whole machine, the efficiency of pulp discharge is ensured, the user is facilitated, and the use experience is improved. For example, when the liquid receiving cup 3 is taken out or placed, the inclination angle between the liquid discharge channel 23 and the horizontal plane can be reduced, so that the pulp outlet nozzle 2 is more close to the horizontal plane to form an avoidance for the liquid receiving cup, facilitating the liquid receiving cup 3 to be inserted into or taken out from below the pulp outlet nozzle 2, and avoiding interference between the liquid receiving cup 3 and the pulp outlet nozzle 2. When discharging liquid, the inclination angle between the liquid discharge channel 23 and the horizontal plane can be increased, which is more conducive to the discharge of the pulp liquid, accelerates the flow speed of the pulp liquid, and improves the discharge efficiency.

[0046] Further, as shown in Figures 1-3 The first position and the second position have a height difference in the vertical direction, and when the pulp outlet nozzle 2 moves from the first position to the second position, the liquid outlet 22 is away from the cup opening of the liquid receiving cup 3 in height, and when the pulp outlet nozzle 2 moves from the second position to the first position, the liquid outlet 22 is close to the cup opening of the liquid receiving cup 3 in height.

[0047] By changing the height difference between the first position and the second position of the pulp outlet nozzle 2, the change of the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 can be quickly realized. When moving from the first position to the second position, the pulp outlet nozzle 2 moves upward away from the cup opening of the liquid receiving cup 3, which is conducive to the taking and placing of the liquid receiving cup 3. When moving from the second position to the first position, the pulp outlet nozzle 2 moves downward to approach the cup opening of the liquid receiving cup 3, which can reduce the discharge height during pulp discharge, reduce the problem of splashing of the pulp liquid, keep the main machine 1 or the table clean, and improve the use experience of the user.

[0048] Further, as shown in Figures 1-3As shown, when the pulp outlet nozzle 2 is in the first position, the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 relative to the horizontal plane is greater than when the pulp outlet nozzle 2 is in the second position.

[0049] When the pulp outlet nozzle is in the first position, the height difference between the liquid inlet 21 and the liquid outlet 22 is increased (the liquid inlet is higher and the liquid outlet is lower), the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 relative to the horizontal plane is larger, so the pulp liquid in the discharge channel has a faster flow speed under the action of gravity, which can be quickly discharged from the liquid outlet 22, thereby improving the discharge efficiency, and the height of the liquid outlet 22 is lower, which can also alleviate the splashing of the pulp liquid, keep the main machine 1 or the desktop clean, and improve the use experience. When in the second position, the height difference between the liquid inlet 21 and the liquid outlet 22 is smaller, and the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 relative to the horizontal plane is smaller, so on the one hand it can avoid the liquid cup 3, and on the other hand the flow speed of the food residue or pulp liquid in the liquid discharge channel 23 is slower, which can reduce the risk of food residue or pulp liquid dripping from the inside of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 in the second position, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the main machine 1 or the desktop.

[0050] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , when the pulp outlet nozzle 2 is in the first position, the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 is a, and when the pulp outlet nozzle 2 is in the second position, the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 is b, 2°≤a-b≤20°.

[0051] If the inclination angle difference of the liquid discharge channel 23 of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 in the first position and the second position is too small, the upward movement range of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 is small, and it cannot obviously form an avoidance for the taking and placing of the liquid cup 3; if the inclination angle difference of the liquid discharge channel 23 of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 in the first position and the second position is too large, a longer driving path of the driving member is needed to achieve it, which is not conducive to implementation, and the driving member is easy to interfere with the liquid cup 3 when it is taken and placed. By limiting the inclination angle difference of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 in the first position and the second position to between 2° and 20°, while ensuring the avoidance for the taking and placing of the liquid cup 3, a larger inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 can be formed to ensure the liquid discharge effect.

[0052] In an embodiment not shown, in order to further improve the user's use experience, when the pulp outlet nozzle 2 is in the second position, the liquid discharge channel 23 is inclined upward along the liquid discharge direction. In the downward inclined state or the horizontal state of the pulp outlet nozzle 2, the pulp liquid in the liquid discharge channel 23 will flow outward along the inner cavity of the liquid discharge channel 23 under the action of gravity, and in this embodiment, by changing the shape of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 in the non-discharge state, the liquid discharge channel 23 is inclined upward, which can prevent food residue or pulp liquid from flowing downward in the liquid discharge channel 23 due to gravity, thereby effectively preventing the food residue or pulp liquid inside the pulp outlet nozzle 2 from dripping, and the user's use experience is better.

[0053] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 4-5 The first position includes a first liquid discharge position in which the liquid outlet 22 is vertically aligned with the first liquid receiving cup 31, and a second liquid discharge position in which the liquid outlet 22 is vertically aligned with the second liquid receiving cup 32. The liquid discharge valve drives the slurry outlet nozzle 2 to rotate between the first liquid discharge position and the second liquid discharge position. The second position includes a rotating position in which the slurry outlet nozzle 2 is disengaged from the first liquid receiving cup 31 and the second liquid receiving cup 32.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , Figures 4-6 The first liquid receiving cup 31 can be a slurry receiving cup for receiving slurry after the slurry is prepared. The second liquid receiving cup 32 can be a waste water box for receiving cleaning water after the cup assembly is cleaned. The first liquid receiving cup 31 and the second liquid receiving cup 32 are used to receive slurry and waste liquid generated by the food processor, respectively, facilitating the centralized cleaning of the mixture of food residues and cleaning water, facilitating use, and ensuring cleanliness. The main machine 1 is provided with a taking and placing area 13 having an opening. The first liquid receiving cup 31 can be placed into or taken out of the taking and placing area 13 through the opening. The second liquid receiving cup 32 is located inside the taking and placing area 13. The main machine 1 is provided with a liquid discharge valve 4 to drive the slurry outlet nozzle 2 to rotate. After the liquid is discharged, the user controls the slurry outlet nozzle 2 to rotate in a direction away from the first liquid receiving cup 31, so that the liquid outlet 22 of the slurry outlet nozzle 2 is aligned with the second liquid receiving cup 32. Both the first liquid receiving cup 31 and the second liquid receiving cup 32 can be used to receive liquid. In the first liquid discharge position or the second liquid discharge position, the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 is significantly increased relative to the second position, thereby improving the slurry discharge efficiency. In the rotating position, the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 is small, which can avoid interference with the cup opening of the first liquid receiving cup 31 or the second liquid receiving cup 32 during rotation, ensuring that the slurry outlet nozzle 2 does not get blocked outside the first liquid receiving cup 31 or the second liquid receiving cup 32 when discharging slurry, and can accurately discharge slurry in the area of the cup opening of the first liquid receiving cup 31 or the second liquid receiving cup 32.

[0055] It should be noted that the present application does not specifically limit the driving mode of the driving member to the slurry outlet nozzle 2, which can be one of the following embodiments:

[0056] Embodiment one: In this embodiment, the driving member is movably arranged on the main machine 1 or the liquid discharge valve 4, and drives the slurry outlet nozzle 2 to move between the first position and the second position.

[0057] The driving member is arranged on the main machine 1 or the liquid discharge valve 4, and active driving is formed when the pulp outlet nozzle 2 is driven, so as to adjust the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23. The driving member can generate a force on the pulp outlet nozzle 2, including deforming the pulp outlet nozzle 2 or moving the whole pulp outlet nozzle 2, so as to change the position of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 and ensure the reliability and accuracy of switching between the first position and the second position of the pulp outlet nozzle 2.

[0058] The driving manner of the driving member is not limited in the embodiment, which can be one of the following embodiments.

[0059] Embodiment 1: In the embodiment, the driving member is a power assembly arranged on the main machine 1, and the power assembly can drive the end of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 close to the liquid inlet 21 to move between the first position and the second position.

[0060] In the embodiment, the end of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 is a fixed end, and the height of the end does not change. The end of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 close to the liquid inlet 21 is a moving end, and the end of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 close to the liquid inlet 21 can swing around the end close to the liquid outlet 22. Therefore, the end of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 does not extend into the inside of the liquid receiving cup 3 in the liquid discharge process, and does not occupy the inside space of the liquid receiving cup 3, thereby ensuring the capacity of the liquid receiving cup 3.

[0061] Embodiment 2: In the embodiment, the driving member is a power assembly arranged on the main machine 1, and the power assembly can drive the end of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 to move between the first position and the second position.

[0062] In the embodiment, the end of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 close to the liquid inlet 21 is a fixed end, and the height of the end does not change. The end of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 is a moving end, and the end of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 can swing around the end close to the liquid inlet 21. Therefore, the end of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 can avoid the liquid receiving cup 3 in the second position and close to the liquid receiving cup 3 in the first position in the liquid discharge process, which avoids the liquid receiving interference and ensures the capacity of the liquid receiving cup 3.

[0063] Embodiment 3: In the embodiment, the driving member is a power assembly arranged on the main machine 1, and the power assembly can drive the whole pulp outlet nozzle 2 to move between the first position and the second position.

[0064] In the embodiment, the liquid inlet 21 and the liquid outlet 22 of the pulp outlet nozzle 2 are movable. The driving of the whole pulp outlet nozzle 2 can not limit the material of the pulp outlet nozzle 2, and the pulp outlet nozzle 2 made of rigid material such as hard plastic can also realize the switching between the first position and the second position.

[0065] In the foregoing embodiments, the power assembly can be a motor assembly arranged independently on the main machine, or can be a movable member arranged on the liquid discharge valve 4. When the power assembly is arranged on the liquid discharge valve 4, rotation of the liquid discharge valve 4 can drive the valve core of the liquid discharge valve 4 to rotate, and drive the nozzle 2 to move by the valve core. The movable member is arranged on the valve core, and the rotation of the valve core is converted into the axial reciprocating movement of the driving member.

[0066] Embodiment II: As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the nozzle 2 is fixed to the main machine 1 at the end close to the liquid inlet 21, and the driving member can drive the end of the nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 to move downward. Figures 1-3

[0067] The movement of the nozzle 2 is that the end close to the liquid outlet 22 swings around the end close to the liquid inlet 21, so that the structure and operation of the driving member are more simple, and the movement of the nozzle 2 is more reliable. Moreover, the driving member lowers the height of the liquid outlet 22, which further improves the effect of preventing splashing of the slurry.

[0068] Embodiment III: In this embodiment, the central region of the nozzle 2 is fixed to the main machine 1, and the driving member can drive the two ends of the nozzle 2 to rotate around the central region to realize the position switching of the nozzle 2.

[0069] For example, during liquid discharge, the driving member drives the end of the nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 to rotate downward, and at the same time, the end of the nozzle 2 close to the liquid inlet 21 rotates upward. During non-liquid discharge, the driving member drives the end of the nozzle 2 close to the liquid inlet 21 to rotate downward, and at the same time, the end of the nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 rotates upward.

[0070] The following is a further description of the present application, taking the driving mode in the above-mentioned embodiment II, i.e., the end of the nozzle 2 close to the liquid inlet 21 is fixed to the main machine 1, and the driving member drives the end of the nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 to move downward, as an example.

[0071] Preferably, the nozzle 2 is a flexible member, so that the nozzle 2 is more portable and easy to deform, and the driving member only needs a small force to drive the end of the nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 to move downward.

[0072] In a specific embodiment, as shown in the figure, the driving member includes a protruding rib 11 protruding on the main machine 1, and the protruding rib 11 is arranged on the rotation path of the nozzle 2 to change the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23. Figures 2-5

[0073] ​​In the embodiment, the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 is changed by the protrusion 11, and the structure is simple and does not need to be provided with a complex driving structure. In addition, the protrusion 11 is located on the rotating path of the slurry outlet nozzle 2, so that the user does not need to deliberately adjust the posture of the slurry outlet nozzle 2, and only needs to rotate the liquid outlet 22 of the slurry outlet nozzle 2 to the upper side of the liquid receiving cup 3, and the protrusion 11 and the slurry outlet nozzle 2 will automatically abut, so as to adjust the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23, simplify the operation steps, and make the operation more convenient.

[0074] Further, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 , the protrusion 11 includes a first protrusion 111 and a second protrusion 112, the first protrusion 111 is arranged at the first liquid discharge position, and the second protrusion 112 is arranged at the second liquid discharge position.

[0075] The first liquid discharge position corresponds to the first liquid receiving cup 31, and the second liquid discharge position corresponds to the second liquid receiving cup 32. When the slurry outlet nozzle 2 is rotated to the first liquid discharge position and the second liquid discharge position, the inclination angle of the liquid discharge channel 23 can be increased by the protrusion 11, so that the liquid discharge flow is smooth whether the liquid is discharged to the first liquid receiving cup 31 or the second liquid receiving cup 32, that is, in the slurry discharge state and the waste discharge state, and the user experience is better.

[0076] In the preferred implementation, the protrusion 11 includes a driving portion and a guiding portion. When the slurry outlet nozzle 2 is in the rotating position, the guiding portion is separated from or tends to be separated from the protrusion, or the guiding portion is close to or abuts against the protrusion.

[0077] As can be understood by those skilled in the art, the driving portion can be a plane arranged at the end of the protrusion, and the guiding portion can be an inclined surface or an arc surface arranged independently on one side of the protrusion or on both sides of the protrusion. When the guiding portion is arranged on both sides of the protrusion, the slurry outlet nozzle can be separated from the protrusion on one side through the guiding portion and can be close to the protrusion on the other side through the guiding portion when the slurry outlet nozzle is in the rotating position.

[0078] The guiding portion is matched to guide the slurry outlet nozzle to contact and move relative to the protrusion more smoothly, reduce the jamming, and the existence of the guiding portion reduces the frictional resistance between the slurry outlet nozzle and the protrusion, so that the slurry outlet nozzle 2 moves more labor-saving.

[0079] It should be noted that the arrangement of the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 112 in the embodiment is not limited, and can be one of the following embodiments:

[0080] Embodiment 1: In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6As shown, the first protruding rib 111 and the second protruding rib 112 are in a split structure, and each of the first protruding rib 111 and the second protruding rib 112 can drive the end of the slurry nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 to move downward.

[0081] In the embodiment, the first protruding rib 111 and the second protruding rib 112 are in an integral structure, and an arc surface is used to transition between the first protruding rib 111 and the second protruding rib 112, so that the first protruding rib 111 and the second protruding rib 112 form a continuous wavy protruding structure. When the slurry nozzle 2 is in the first liquid level, the slurry nozzle 2 abuts against the first protruding rib 111, and the end of the slurry nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 moves downward under the abutting of the first protruding rib 111. During the rotation of the slurry nozzle 2 to the second liquid level, the slurry nozzle 2 moves from the first protruding rib 111 to the guide portion, and at this time, the end of the slurry nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 moves upward because it is not pressed. With the continuous rotation of the slurry nozzle 2, the end of the slurry nozzle 2 close to the liquid outlet 22 contacts the second protruding rib 112, and moves downward under the pressing of the second protruding rib 112.

[0082] The technical solutions protected by the present application are not limited to the above embodiments. It should be noted that the combination of the technical solutions of any one embodiment and those of one or more other embodiments is within the protection scope of the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail above with general description and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made on the basis of the present application, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made on the basis of not deviating from the spirit of the present application are within the protection scope of the present application.
