Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing devices, and in particular relates to a food processing machine. Background Art

[0002] A general self-cleaning food processor can realize the functions of automatic water inlet for pulping and automatic water inlet for cleaning. For example, the invention patent with application number 201810987011.1 discloses a pulping method for an automatic cleaning food processor, in which the pulp discharge pipe discharges the slurry at the pulp discharge position and can be rotated to the waste discharge position to discharge the remaining cleaning water, and after the waste discharge stage is completed, the pulp discharge pipe automatically resets to the pulp discharge position. However, since the pulping container is fixed on the base and the drain valve assembly is installed on the base, there will be a problem of incomplete cleaning of the valve core inside the drain valve, and since the cup body cannot be disassembled, it is impossible to replace different cup bodies to complete multiple functions, and the thick slurry cannot be poured, causing the drain valve to be blocked, which brings inconvenience to the user.

[0003] Although two patents in the prior art, such as application numbers 201911361925.8 and 202210318229.4, disclose solutions in which the cup body is detachable relative to the base, both solutions require that the position of the slurry discharge pipe be kept fixed. There is still a problem that the slurry discharge pipe cannot be disassembled, resulting in incomplete cleaning. In addition, in the process of assembling the cup body, the cup body needs to be accurately installed according to the position of the slurry discharge pipe, otherwise the coupling and connection between the slurry discharge rotary valve on the cup body and the slurry discharge pipe cannot be achieved. If the cup body fails to fit in place with the slurry discharge pipe, the slurry discharge pipe becomes unreliable in movement and becomes stuck, resulting in inconvenient assembly.

[0004] Patents with application numbers 202120686641.2 and 202120318608.4 disclose solutions for removable and cleaning drain pipes. The latter discloses an easy-to-clean food processing machine, which not only makes the drain pipe detachable relative to the machine body, but also enables the drain pipe to rotate with the rotation of the rotating part, thereby realizing automatic switching of the drain pipe between the pulp discharge position and the waste discharge position.

[0005] However, the drain pipe is directly assembled with the rotating part of the valve body, and an open hole needs to be set on the main unit to expose the rotating part, so that the drain pipe (slurry nozzle) can be accurately installed on the rotating part. Otherwise, the drain pipe cannot be installed in place, the movement is unreliable, and jamming occurs. This also means that the drain pipe must be clamped on the rotating part from bottom to top. On the one hand, the user must strictly install it according to the buckle position, and the installation of the drain pipe is laborious. On the other hand, the rotating part is hidden under the protrusion, and the user cannot directly see the docking position during the installation process. The drain pipe needs to be avoided by the main unit, and at the same time, it must be coordinated with the installation position of the cup body. The alignment is complicated and not conducive to installation. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides a food processing machine, in which a cup body and a pulp nozzle are detachably arranged relative to a main machine, so as to realize diversified functions and deep cleaning of a liquid discharge valve, and solves the problem of laborious pulp nozzle installation in the prior art by improving the pulp nozzle installation method.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0008] The utility model provides a food processing machine, comprising a main machine, a cup body, and a drain valve, wherein the drain valve comprises a valve body with a valve core disposed therein and a slurry nozzle communicated and coordinated with the valve core, the main machine is provided with a supporting platform, the valve body is mounted on the bottom of the cup body, the cup body is detachably mounted above the supporting platform, a mounting portion is further provided on the supporting platform, the slurry nozzle is detachably mounted on the mounting portion and is detachably transmission-connected with the valve core, and the mounting portion is penetrated by a mounting opening for the slurry nozzle to pass through.

[0009] The food processing machine provided by the utility model can realize flexible selection of the cup body by detachably mounting the cup body on the supporting platform, and can conveniently replace different cup bodies to expand the multiple functions of the food processing machine and realize functional diversification. In addition, when preparing viscous drinks that are not easy to be discharged from the slurry nozzle, the cup body can be conveniently disassembled to pour out the prepared drinks, which is simple to operate and avoids clogging of the valve core and the slurry nozzle, and is convenient for cleaning. While realizing the detachability of the cup body, by also arranging a mounting part on the supporting platform, the slurry nozzle can be detachably mounted on the mounting part and detachably connected to the valve core, thereby realizing independent disassembly and cleaning of the slurry nozzle and independent cleaning of the valve core after the cup body is disassembled, and realizing deep cleaning of the drain valve. The installation portion is provided with an installation opening for the paddle nozzle to pass through, so as to realize the limited installation of the paddle nozzle. Compared with the traditional installation method of directly cooperating the paddle nozzle with the valve core or rotating part installed on the cup body, the difficulty of aligning the paddle nozzle during the installation process is greatly reduced, so that the paddle nozzle can be independently disassembled and assembled on the main machine when the cup body is not installed, and a variety of paddle nozzle installation positions are provided, which does not require precise alignment with the cup body, so that users can install the paddle nozzle more flexibly and casually, and the assembly is simplified. It is also convenient to use the machine to automatically adjust the position of the paddle nozzle after the cup body is assembled, which is conducive to realizing the automatic paddle nozzle alignment of the whole machine and ensuring the smooth switching of the paddle nozzle between different working positions.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the slurry nozzle includes a slurry discharge pipe passing through the mounting hole and a first matching portion and a second matching portion arranged on the outer wall of the slurry discharge pipe, the first matching portion is supported on the upper surface of the mounting portion, and the second matching portion is matched with a stopper on the lower surface of the mounting portion.

[0011] By providing a first matching part and a second matching part on the outer periphery of the pulp nozzle, the first matching part prevents the pulp discharge pipe from being disengaged from the mounting opening downwards, so that even if the cup body is not installed, the pulp discharge pipe can be hung at the mounting opening through the first matching part to achieve reliable support, and the pulp nozzle is independently installed on the main unit, and the user can install it at will without precise alignment. By providing the second matching part to prevent the pulp discharge pipe from being disengaged from the mounting opening upwards, when the user takes out the cup body, the pulp discharge pipe will not be disassembled from the main unit with the cup body, and the cup body can be easily disassembled and installed.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the second matching portion is an annular retaining rib formed by the slurry discharge pipe protruding outwardly, and the annular retaining rib blocks the matching gap between the slurry discharge pipe and the installation opening;

[0013] Alternatively, the first matching portion is a seat body that is sleeved and fixed at the inlet end of the slurry discharge pipe, and the lower surface of the seat body is in contact with the supporting surface of the mounting portion.

[0014] By setting the second matching part as an annular retaining rib that protrudes outward along the slurry discharge pipe, a shield is formed below the matching gap between the slurry discharge pipe and the installation port, thereby preventing the hot slurry in the liquid receiving container or the water vapor generated by the hot cleaning residual water from entering the main unit upward, preventing the internal environment of the main unit from being humid, and extending the service life of the entire machine.

[0015] By using the first matching part as a seat body that is sleeved and fixed at the inlet end of the slurry discharge pipe, the seat body and the slurry discharge pipe are independently arranged and sleeved, so that the seat body can be independently selected with a rigid structure to ensure reliable support between the seat body and the mounting part, thereby preventing the slurry nozzle from falling during the operation of the food processor. At the same time, the lower surface of the seat body is in contact with the supporting surface of the mounting part, so that the gap between the seat body and the upper surface of the mounting part can be sealed, further preventing steam from entering the main unit.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the first matching portion is a deformable flexible member, so that the slurry discharge pipe is installed in the installation opening from bottom to top and is limited in position;

[0017] Alternatively, the second matching portion is a deformable flexible member, so that the slurry discharge pipe is installed in the installation opening from top to bottom and limited in position;

[0018] Alternatively, the mounting portion includes a deformable flexible support member surrounding the mounting opening.

[0019] By setting the first mating part as a deformable flexible part, the user can apply force to the pulp nozzle from top to bottom to make the first mating part deform to adapt to the shape of the installation opening, thereby allowing the pulp discharge pipe and the first mating part to pass through the installation opening, and after passing through the installation opening, the first mating part returns to cooperate with the lower surface stop of the installation part, thereby realizing rapid installation and reliable positioning of the pulp nozzle and the installation opening.

[0020] Since the pulp nozzle is installed from top to bottom, the user can more intuitively observe the pulp nozzle placement area above the installation part from above the support platform, and realize the random installation of the pulp nozzle in multiple positions, so that the pulp nozzle can be assembled into place more smoothly and directly. At the same time, after the cup body is installed, the position of the pulp nozzle is automatically adjusted by the machine, which is conducive to the automatic pulp nozzle alignment of the whole machine and ensures smooth switching of the pulp nozzle between different working positions.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting portion is provided with a water retaining rib protruding downwardly and surrounding the mounting opening.

[0022] By arranging a water retaining rib on the mounting portion, the water retaining rib surrounds the mounting opening to extend the overlapping height of the pulp nozzle and the mounting portion at the mounting opening, thereby further preventing the steam generated in the liquid receiving container from flowing upward through the matching gap between the mounting opening and the pulp nozzle to enter the mounting platform above the main unit, increasing the difficulty of steam circulation, avoiding steam damage to electrical components such as the heating element at the bottom of the cup body, and preventing steam from flowing laterally along the surface of the mounting portion and entering the main unit, thereby avoiding a humid internal environment of the main unit.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the main machine includes a support base and a support cover fixed above the support base, a motor is installed between the support cover and the support base, a part of the support cover constitutes the mounting platform, and another part is penetrated by the mounting opening to form the mounting portion, and the water retaining rib includes a first water retaining rib protruding from the support cover.

[0024] The main machine includes a support base and a support cover, and an accommodating space for accommodating the motor is formed between the support base and the support cover, so that the motor can be wrapped and installed in the accommodating space, thereby realizing protection of the motor and facilitating the fixation and installation of the brushless motor to reduce the height of the whole machine, wherein a part of the support cover constitutes an installation platform to support the crushing cup, and the other part is provided with an installation opening to form a mounting portion to support the pulp nozzle, thereby realizing a compact arrangement of the internal structure of the main machine, and the water retaining rib includes a first water retaining rib protruding from the support cover, and the first water retaining rib can effectively prevent water vapor in the liquid receiving container from entering the accommodating space through the fitting gap between the support cover and the support base, thereby effectively preventing water from entering the motor and extending the service life of the motor.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the support seat is provided with a through hole corresponding to the mounting opening, and the support seat is provided with a second water retaining rib protruding upwardly around the through hole, and the second water retaining rib overlaps with the lateral projection of the first water retaining rib;

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the support cover is further provided with a third water retaining rib surrounding the outer periphery of the first water retaining rib, and a waterproof groove is formed between the first water retaining rib and the third water retaining rib.

[0027] By setting a second water retaining rib, the second water retaining rib overlaps with the lateral projection of the first water retaining rib, so that the flow path of the steam flowing upward along the through hole and flowing laterally into the motor installation space is more tortuous, increasing the difficulty of steam flowing to the motor, thereby protecting the motor.

[0028] Similarly, the third water retaining rib cooperates with the first water retaining rib to form a waterproof groove, and at the same time, the second water retaining rib is separated in the waterproof groove, which effectively improves the waterproof effect of the support seat and the support cover.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing lip is provided at the inlet of the slurry nozzle, and the bottom end of the valve core protrudes from the valve body and is inserted into the inlet of the slurry nozzle to cooperate with the sealing lip.

[0030] The valve core is protruded from the valve body to form a plug-in portion that is plugged into the paddle nozzle, so that the paddle nozzle can be connected to the valve core through the plug-in portion and can be detachable relative to the valve core. A sealing lip is provided at the inlet of the paddle nozzle to achieve a sealed fit between the paddle nozzle and the valve core. At the same time, the flexible deformation of the sealing lip can avoid major obstacles to the plug-in assembly of the paddle nozzle and the valve core during the installation of the cup body, thereby facilitating the detachable fit of the paddle nozzle and the valve core.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the main machine includes an upwardly arched support seat, the lower side of the support seat forms a receiving cavity for accommodating a liquid receiving container, the support seat is provided with a through hole corresponding to the mounting port, and the pulp nozzle extends into the receiving cavity through the through hole.

[0032] By arching the support seat upward, a accommodating cavity can be formed on the lower side of the support seat to install the liquid receiving container, and the crushing assembly can also be supported and installed on the upper side of the support seat, so that the radial space of the whole machine is reasonably utilized and the radial size of the whole machine is avoided from increasing. The pulp nozzle extends into the accommodating cavity through the installation opening and the through hole, and discharges pulp more directly corresponding to the position of the liquid receiving container, so that the pulp nozzle and the cup body are installed compactly and can also achieve smooth switching between the pulp discharge position and the waste discharge position.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting portion is a mounting groove formed by sinking relative to the mounting platform, the mounting opening is opened on the bottom wall of the mounting groove, and the top end of the pulp nozzle is not higher than the supporting platform.

[0034] By setting the mounting portion as a mounting groove formed by sinking relative to the mounting platform, and the top of the paddle nozzle is not higher than the supporting platform, after the cup body is installed in place, the cup body abuts against the supporting platform and at the same time, an escape space can be formed between the cup body and the mounting groove for the paddle nozzle to rotate flexibly, avoiding friction between the paddle nozzle and the bottom of the cup body during rotation, so that the paddle nozzle can rotate smoothly driven by the valve core.

[0045] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in the form of examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention.

[0048] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model provides a food processing machine, including a main machine 10, a cup body 20, and a drain valve 30. The drain valve 30 includes a valve body 31 with a valve core 32 therein and a slurry nozzle 33 communicated with and cooperated with the valve core 32. The main machine 10 is provided with a supporting platform 11. The valve body 31 is mounted on the bottom of the cup body 20. The cup body 20 is detachably mounted above the supporting platform 11. The supporting platform 11 is also provided with a mounting portion 12. The slurry nozzle 33 is detachably mounted on the mounting portion 12 and is detachably transmission-connected with the valve core 32. The mounting portion 12 is penetrated by a mounting opening 121 for the slurry nozzle 33 to pass through.

[0049] Specifically, a crushing knife 21 is provided in the cup body 20, and a motor 22 for driving the crushing knife 21 to rotate is provided below the cup body 20. The host 10 also includes a pulp receiving cup 41 and a residual water box 42. When the pulp discharge pipe 34 is in the pulp discharge position and the waste discharge position, it is aligned with the pulp receiving cup 41 and the residual water box 42 to discharge the corresponding liquid. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the food processor is a model with a built-in cup body 20, and the host 10 includes an installation cavity for accommodating the cup body 20, and the bottom wall of the installation cavity forms a support platform 11, so that the cup body 20 is at least partially sunk in the installation cavity, which has a noise reduction effect. In fact, the food processor can also be an external cup body 20, and the top wall of the host 10 forms a support platform 11, and the cup body 20 is convexly arranged above the support platform 11. In this embodiment, the motor 22 is fixed in the host 10, and only the cup body 20 is disassembled from the installation cavity. In fact, the cup body 20 can be fixedly installed at the bottom of the cup body 20, so that the cup body 20 and the motor 22 can be disassembled from the host 10 together.

[0050] The food processing machine provided by the utility model can realize the flexible selection of the cup body 20 by detachably mounting the cup body 20 above the supporting platform 11, and it is convenient to replace different cup bodies 20 to expand the multiple functions of the food processing machine and realize functional diversification. In addition, when the cup body 20 is used to prepare a viscous beverage that is not easy to be discharged from the slurry nozzle 33, the cup body 20 can be conveniently disassembled to pour out the prepared beverage, which is simple to operate and avoids clogging of the valve core 32 and the slurry nozzle 33, and is convenient for cleaning. While realizing the detachability of the cup body 20, by further arranging a mounting portion 12 on the supporting platform 11, the slurry nozzle 33 is detachably mounted on the mounting portion 12 and is detachably connected to the valve core 32 in a transmission manner, thereby realizing the independent disassembly and cleaning of the slurry nozzle 33 and the independent cleaning of the valve core 32 after the cup body 20 is disassembled, and the deep cleaning of the drain valve 30 is realized. The installation portion 12 is provided with an installation opening 121 for the paddle nozzle 33 to pass through, so as to realize the limited installation of the paddle nozzle 33. Compared with the traditional installation method of directly cooperating the paddle nozzle 33 with the valve core 32 or the rotating part installed on the cup body 20, the difficulty of aligning the paddle nozzle 33 during the installation process is greatly reduced, so that the paddle nozzle 33 can be independently disassembled and assembled on the host 10 when the cup body 20 is not installed, so as to provide a variety of paddle nozzle 33 installation positions, so that the user can install the paddle nozzle 33 more flexibly and casually, and the assembly is simplified. It is also convenient to use the machine to automatically adjust the position of the paddle nozzle 33 after the cup body 20 is assembled, which is conducive to realizing the automatic alignment of the paddle nozzle 33 of the whole machine and ensuring the smooth switching of the paddle nozzle 33 between different working positions.

[0051] The utility model does not limit the initial installation position of the slurry nozzle 33 on the installation portion 12, for example:

[0052] In one embodiment, a limiting structure is provided on the mounting portion 12, and the limiting structure is used to limit the pulp nozzle 33 at the pulp discharge position. When installing the pulp nozzle 33, the user is limited by the limiting structure and installs the pulp nozzle 33 at the pulp discharge position.

[0053] In another embodiment, when installing the pulp nozzle 33, the user is limited by the limiting structure and then installs the pulp nozzle 33 at the waste discharge position.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the upper surface of the mounting portion 12 forms a paddle nozzle placement area to support the paddle nozzle 33, and the paddle nozzle 33 is placed in the paddle nozzle placement area and driven by the valve core 32 to have a pulp discharge position and a waste discharge position. The paddle nozzle placement area can provide a plurality of pre-installed positions between the pulp discharge position and the waste discharge position.

[0055] Preferably, the maximum angle of horizontal rotation of the pulp nozzle 33 along the pulp nozzle placement area is A, which satisfies 85°≤A≤90°.

[0056] When the user installs the slurry nozzle 33, it is not necessary to accurately position the slurry nozzle 33 at the slurry discharge position. The slurry nozzle 33 can be placed at any pre-installed position other than the slurry discharge position, or installed at the waste discharge position, thereby eliminating the need for the user to accurately align the position of the slurry nozzle 33 on his own, making it more flexible and casual for the user to install the slurry nozzle 33, achieving blind installation of the slurry nozzle 33 and simplifying assembly. It is also convenient for the slurry nozzle 33 to mechanically and automatically find the position of the valve core 32 to cooperate with it during the installation of the cup body 20 or after the installation of the cup body 20, or to use the control program to automatically make the valve core 32 find and adjust the slurry nozzle 33, which is conducive to realizing the automatic positioning and return of the slurry nozzle 33 of the whole machine, freeing the user's hands. After the slurry nozzle 33 is placed on the slurry nozzle placement area, it can be driven by the valve core 32 to have a slurry discharge position and a waste discharge position, so as to ensure that during the processing, the slurry nozzle 33 can smoothly switch between different working positions to achieve the slurry discharge and waste discharge functions. The maximum angle of horizontal rotation is A, which can provide multiple pre-installation positions for the paddle nozzles 33 in the paddle nozzle placement area, so as to facilitate users to install freely and simplify assembly. At the same time, it can realize the rapid positioning of the valve core 32 and the paddle nozzle 33, ensure the reliability of the transmission connection, and prevent the paddle nozzle 33 from rotating and getting stuck and the valve core 32 from idling.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the mounting portion 12 is a mounting groove that is recessed downward relative to the support platform 11, the bottom wall of the mounting groove forms a slurry nozzle placement area and is provided with a mounting opening 121, the top of the slurry nozzle 33 is not higher than the support platform 11, specifically, the slurry nozzle 33 includes a seat body 334 and a slurry discharge pipe 34, and the top surface of the seat body 334 is not higher than the support platform 11. More preferably, the mounting opening 121 is a mounting hole that runs through the bottom wall of the mounting groove. Of course, in fact, the mounting opening 121 can be a notch provided at the edge of the mounting groove for the slurry discharge pipe 34 to pass through.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the pulp nozzle 33 includes a pulp discharge pipe 34 passing through the mounting hole and a first matching portion 332 and a second matching portion 333 arranged on the outer wall of the pulp discharge pipe 34. The first matching portion 332 and the second matching portion 333 form a mounting seat 331 to limit the axial position of the pulp nozzle and the main machine. The first matching portion 332 is supported on the upper surface of the mounting portion 12, and the second matching portion 333 is matched with the stopper on the lower surface of the mounting portion 12.

[0059] By providing the first matching portion 332 and the second matching portion 333 on the outer periphery of the pulp nozzle 33, the first matching portion 332 prevents the pulp discharge pipe 34 from being disengaged downward from the mounting opening 121, so that even if the cup body 20 is not installed, the pulp discharge pipe 34 can be hung at the mounting opening 121 through the first matching portion 332 to achieve reliable support, and the pulp nozzle 33 is independently installed on the host 10, and the user can install it at will without precise alignment. By providing the second matching portion 333 to prevent the pulp discharge pipe 34 from being disengaged upward from the mounting opening 121, when the user takes out the cup body 20, the pulp discharge pipe 34 will not be removed from the host 10 along with the cup body 20, and the cup body 20 can be easily removed and installed.

[0060] The specific structures of the first matching portion 332 and the second matching portion 333 may be:

[0061] Implementation example 1, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the first matching part 332 is a seat body 334 which is sleeved and fixed on the inlet end of the slurry discharge pipe 34, and the lower surface of the seat body 334 is in contact with the support surface of the mounting portion 12, and the second matching part 333 is a deformable flexible part, which allows the slurry discharge pipe 34 to be installed in the mounting port 121 from top to bottom and limit the position. Specifically, the second matching part 333 is an annular retaining rib formed by the slurry discharge pipe 34 protruding outward as a whole, and the annular retaining rib blocks the matching gap between the slurry discharge pipe 34 and the mounting port 121.

[0062] It should be noted that in order to realize the installation of the slurry discharge pipe 34 in the installation port 121 from top to bottom, in addition to making the second matching part 333 a deformable flexible part, on the other hand, the slurry discharge pipe 34 can be made of a silicone tube. The slurry discharge pipe 34 can be deformed after being squeezed to realize the second matching part 333 adapting to the shape of the installation port 121 for installation from top to bottom.

[0063] By setting the second matching part 333 as an annular retaining rib that is integrally protruded outward along the slurry discharge pipe 34, a shield is formed below the matching gap between the slurry discharge pipe 34 and the mounting port 121, so as to prevent the hot slurry in the liquid receiving container or the water vapor generated by the hot washing residual water from entering the main unit 10 upward, prevent the internal environment of the main unit 10 from being humid, and extend the service life of the whole machine. By setting the first matching part 332 as a seat body 334 that is sleeved and fixed on the inlet end of the slurry discharge pipe 34, the seat body 334 and the slurry discharge pipe 34 are independently set and sleeved, so that the seat body 334 can be independently selected with a rigid structure to ensure that it is reliably supported by the mounting part 12, and the slurry nozzle 33 can be prevented from falling during the operation of the food processor. At the same time, the lower surface of the seat body 334 is in contact with the support surface of the mounting part 12, so that the gap between the seat body 334 and the upper surface of the mounting part 12 can be sealed, further preventing steam from entering the main unit 10.

[0064] Since the paddle nozzle 33 is installed from top to bottom, the user can more intuitively observe the paddle nozzle placement area above the mounting portion 12 from above the support platform 11, and realize the arbitrary installation of the paddle nozzle 33 in multiple positions, so that the paddle nozzle 33 can be assembled into place more smoothly and directly. At the same time, after the cup body 20 is installed, the position of the paddle nozzle 33 is automatically adjusted by the machine, which is conducive to the automatic alignment of the paddle nozzle 33 of the whole machine and ensures that the paddle nozzle 33 switches smoothly between different working positions.

[0065] In implementation example 2, the first matching portion 332 is a deformable flexible member, for example, a deformable silicone seat, so that the slurry discharge pipe 34 is installed in the installation opening 121 from bottom to top and is limited.

[0066] By setting the first matching portion 332 as a deformable flexible part, the user can apply force to the pulp nozzle 33 from top to bottom to make the first matching portion 332 deform to adapt to the shape of the installation opening 121, thereby allowing the pulp discharge pipe 34 and the first matching portion 332 to pass through the installation opening 121, and after passing through the installation opening 121, the first matching portion 332 returns to the stopper match with the lower surface of the installation portion 12, thereby achieving rapid installation and reliable positioning of the pulp nozzle 33 and the installation opening 121.

[0067] In implementation example 3, the mounting portion 12 includes a deformable flexible support member surrounding the mounting opening 121 , and the slurry discharge pipe 34 presses the flexible support member to be installed from bottom to top or from top to bottom at the mounting opening 121 .

[0068] In order to improve the sealing of the matching position between the discharge valve 30 and the main machine 10 and the sealing between the slurry nozzle 33 and the valve core 32, the utility model adopts the following preferred embodiments:

[0069] Implementation Example 4, combined with Figure 6 , 7 As shown in , 8 , the mounting portion 12 is provided with a water retaining rib protruding downwardly and surrounding the mounting opening 121 .

[0070] More specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the host 10 includes a support base 101 and a support cover 102 fixed on the support base 101. The support base 101 is arched upward and forms a receiving cavity 105 for receiving the residual water box 42 at the lower side. A motor 22 is installed between the support cover 102 and the support base 101. A part of the support cover 102 constitutes a mounting platform to support the cup body 20, and another part is penetrated by a mounting opening 121 to form a mounting portion 12. Figure 6 As shown, the water retaining ribs include a first water retaining rib 103 protruding from the support cover 102, the support seat 101 is provided with a through hole 104 corresponding to the mounting opening 121 so that the slurry discharge pipe 34 passes through and extends into the accommodating cavity 105, and the support seat 101 is upwardly provided with a second water retaining rib 106 protruding around the through hole 104, and the second water retaining rib 106 overlaps with the lateral projection of the first water retaining rib 103;

[0071] More preferably, the support cover 102 is further provided with a third water retaining rib 107 surrounding the outer periphery of the first water retaining rib 103 , and a waterproof groove is formed between the first water retaining rib 103 and the third water retaining rib 107 .

[0072] In this implementation example, combined Figure 6 , 7 As shown in Figures 8, by providing a water retaining rib on the mounting portion 12, the water retaining rib surrounds the mounting opening 121 to extend the overlapping height of the slurry nozzle 33 and the mounting portion 12 at the mounting opening 121, thereby further preventing the steam generated in the liquid receiving container from flowing upward through the matching gap between the mounting opening 121 and the slurry nozzle 33 to enter the mounting platform above the main unit 10, increasing the difficulty of steam circulation, avoiding steam damage to electrical components such as the heating element at the bottom of the cup body 20, and avoiding steam from flowing horizontally along the surface of the mounting portion 12 and entering the main unit 10, avoiding the internal environment of the main unit 10 from being humid.

[0073] The main unit 10 includes a support base and a support cover, and an accommodating space for accommodating the motor 22 is formed between the support base and the support cover, so that the motor 22 can be wrapped and installed in the accommodating space, thereby realizing protection of the motor 22 and facilitating the fixation and installation of the brushless motor 22, so as to reduce the height of the whole machine, wherein a part of the support cover constitutes an installation platform to support the crushing cup, and the other part is provided with an installation opening 121 to form a mounting portion 12 to support the pulp nozzle 33, so as to realize a compact arrangement of the internal structure of the main unit 10, and the water retaining rib includes a first water retaining rib protruding from the support cover, and the first water retaining rib can effectively prevent the water vapor in the liquid receiving container from entering the accommodating space through the fitting gap between the support cover and the support base, thereby effectively preventing the motor 22 from entering with water, thereby extending the service life of the motor 22.

[0074] By providing the second water retaining rib, the second water retaining rib overlaps with the lateral projection of the first water retaining rib, so that the flow path of the steam flowing upward along the through hole into the installation space of the motor 22 is more tortuous, increasing the difficulty of the steam flowing to the motor 22, thereby protecting the motor 22. Similarly, the third water retaining rib cooperates with the first water retaining rib to form a waterproof groove, and at the same time, the second water retaining rib is blocked in the waterproof groove, which effectively improves the waterproof effect of the support seat and the support cover.

[0075] Implementation Example 5, such as Figure 2 As shown, a sealing lip 330 is provided at the inlet of the slurry nozzle 33, and the bottom end of the valve core 32 protrudes from the valve body 31 and is inserted into the inlet of the slurry nozzle 33 to cooperate with the sealing lip.

[0076] The valve core 32 is protruded from the valve body 31 to form a plug-in portion that is plugged into the paddle nozzle 33, so that the paddle nozzle 33 can be connected to the valve core 32 through the plug-in portion and can be detachable relative to the valve core 32. A sealing lip is provided at the entrance of the paddle nozzle 33 to achieve a sealed fit between the paddle nozzle 33 and the valve core 32. At the same time, the flexible deformation of the sealing lip can avoid major obstacles to the plug-in assembly of the paddle nozzle 33 and the valve core 32 during the installation of the cup body 20, thereby facilitating the detachable fit of the paddle nozzle 33 and the valve core 32.
