In this specific embodiment, the structure of the valve core specifically includes a valve seat bracket 30 and a valve body 10, wherein the valve seat bracket 30 can be fixed on the mixing cup 40, and the valve body 10 is detachably arranged in the valve seat bracket 30. Due to the detachable structure, in order to press the valve body 10 and prevent the valve body 10 from escaping from the valve seat bracket 30, a screw cover 20 is also specifically provided. When in specific use, the screw cover 20 presses the pressure rod 102 of the valve body 10, and the valve body 10 is pressed in the valve seat bracket 30 to prevent the valve body 10 from escaping.

[0043] Optionally, one of the facing ends of the rotary cover 20 and the pressure rod 102 is provided with a spherical end 103, and the other is provided with a spherical groove 202 that abuts against the spherical end 103. In this specific embodiment, the pressure rod 102 and the rotary cover 20 are pressed and abutted against each other. Since the valve body 10 can rotate along its own axis, the pressure rod 102 will generate relative rotational friction with the rotary cover 20 during the rotation process. Therefore, the spherical end 103 and the groove that abuts against the spherical end 103 can be specifically provided at this contact point, and the 360° spherical contact rotational friction is used to overcome the problem of uneven compression stroke of the pressure rod 102 at an inclined angle.

In this specific embodiment, since the valve core is tilted downward as a whole, if the rotary cover 20 is directly assembled on the valve seat bracket 30, the axis of the rotary cover 20 is usually concentric with the axis of the valve core bracket. If the valve core tilts downward at a certain angle, the rotary cover 20 will also tilt downward at a certain angle, which will make it inconvenient for consumers to operate the rotary cover 20 when using it.

In this specific embodiment, the inclination angle α at which the axis lines of the transfer front end 313 and the transfer rear end 314 intersect can be specifically 5°, 6°, 7°, 8°, 9°, 10°, 11°, 12°, 13°, 14° or 15°, etc. Of course, in some other embodiments, the inclination angle α at which the axis lines of the transfer front end 313 and the transfer rear end 314 intersect can also be other values ​​within the range of 5°≤α≤15°.

[0048] Optionally, the valve seat support 30 is provided with a first locking column 301, and the adapter frame 31 is provided with a second locking column 311 that is locked with the first locking column. In this specific embodiment, the specific connection between the valve seat support 30 and the adapter frame 31 can be connected through the first locking column 301 and the second locking column 311, specifically, the first locking column 301 and the first locking column 301 can be connected specifically by bolts or screws, or the first locking column 301 and the first locking column 301 can be specifically plugged or clamped.

[0050] Optionally, the food processor further comprises a driving motor 501 and a driving gear 502 drivingly connected to the driving motor 501, a driven gear 104 is arranged on the circumferential outer side of the valve body 10, and a position avoidance opening 302 is arranged on the circumferential outer side of the valve seat support 30, and the driving gear 502 passes through the position avoidance opening 302 and meshes with the driven gear 104. In this specific embodiment, since the valve body 10 can rotate along its own axis, the valve body 10 can be driven to rotate by setting a driving motor 501, specifically, the driving motor 501 drives the driving gear 502 to rotate, the driving gear 502 drives the driven gear 104 to rotate, and the driven gear 104 drives the valve body 10 to rotate, so that the feed channel can be connected with the feed channel, connected with the waste discharge channel 33 or closed by the valve body 10, respectively, the structure is simple, easy to manufacture and production, and the manufacturing difficulty is reduced.
