Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household electrical appliances, in particular to a food processing machine which is easy to clean. Background Art

[0002] Existing self-cleaning food processing machines can realize the functions of automatic water inlet pulping and automatic water inlet cleaning. For example, the invention patent with application number 201810987011.1 discloses a pulping method for an automatic cleaning food processing machine, 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 the prior art discloses solutions in which the cup body is detachable relative to the base, such as two patents with application numbers 201911361925.8 and 202210318229.4, both solutions require that the position of the slurry discharge pipe be kept fixed. However, there is still the problem that the slurry discharge pipe cannot be disassembled, resulting in incomplete cleaning of the valve assembly. As a result, the valve assembly and the slurry discharge pipe cannot be effectively cleaned, resulting in residual dirt inside, causing odor and even mold. Utility Model Content

By arranging the cup body and the pulp nozzle to be detachable relative to the main machine, the utility model solves the problem that the existing pulp nozzle cannot be disassembled, resulting in the inability to effectively clean the interior thereof, while achieving functional diversification.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a food processing machine that is easy to clean, comprising a machine body, a cup body arranged on the machine body and having a grinding chamber, the machine body is formed with a mounting chamber, the cup body is detachably arranged in the mounting chamber, a valve assembly is also arranged on the cup body, the mounting chamber is provided with a mounting portion, a slurry nozzle is detachably provided on the mounting portion, the valve assembly is provided with a transmission structure, the transmission structure can drive the slurry nozzle to rotate, the slurry nozzle comprises a slurry discharge pipe and a seat body fixed at the inlet end of the slurry discharge pipe, the mounting portion is penetrated by a mounting opening for the slurry discharge pipe to pass through, the upper surface of the mounting portion forms a slurry nozzle placement area to support the seat body, and a accommodating groove for accommodating the seat body is also provided at the bottom of the cup body.

[0006] The present application arranges the cup body to be detachably installed in the installation cavity, so that users can replace different cup bodies according to different usage requirements, such as a crushing cup, a dry grinding cup, and a minced meat cup, so as to process different ingredients, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, the installation cavity can play a certain positioning role on the cup body. The installation cavity can limit the cup body circumferentially to ensure the stability of the position of the cup body in the installation cavity, avoid the cup body from shaking greatly, thereby further reducing the noise generated by the shaking of the cup body, and is beneficial to the stability of the cup body during the operation of the food processing part. In addition, the cup body is located in the installation cavity, and the noise generated in the cup body can be repeatedly rebounded in the installation cavity, thereby greatly reducing the energy of the noise, and then reducing the volume of the noise propagating outward, which helps to improve the noise reduction effect.

[0007] At the same time, the mounting cavity is provided with a mounting portion, on which a paddle nozzle is detachably provided, and the valve assembly is provided with a transmission structure, which can drive the paddle nozzle to rotate, so that the paddle nozzle can be detachably mounted on the mounting portion and is detachably transmission-connected to the valve assembly, and the paddle nozzle can be disassembled relative to the cup body, and at the same time, the paddle nozzle can be independently mounted on the machine body and disassembled relative to the machine body. Therefore, it is convenient to disassemble and clean the paddle nozzle and to deeply clean the outlet position of the valve assembly after the cup body is disassembled, so as to realize deep cleaning of the valve assembly, ensure the cleanliness of the valve assembly and the paddle nozzle, and avoid the situation in which the valve assembly and the paddle nozzle are not effectively cleaned, resulting in residual dirt inside, causing odor or even mold.

[0008] At the same time, by setting the pulp nozzle to include a pulp discharge pipe and a seat body fixed at the inlet end of the pulp discharge pipe, the mounting portion is penetrated with a mounting opening for the pulp discharge pipe to pass through, and the seat body and the mounting opening cooperate to prevent the pulp discharge pipe from detaching from the mounting opening with the cup body, ensuring that the pulp discharge pipe will not detach from the mounting portion during the removal of the cup body, thereby avoiding the difficulty in removing the cup body due to collision and friction between the pulp discharge nozzle and the mounting opening, making the removal of the cup body labor-saving, and at the same time avoiding the pulp discharge nozzle being taken out of the mounting opening and the residual liquid inside the pulp discharge nozzle dripping onto the mounting platform and the mounting portion, causing cleaning troubles for the user. In addition, when the whole machine is working, the seat body is used to achieve axial and radial limiting with the mounting portion, thereby avoiding the pulp nozzle from moving up and down and left and right during rotation, improving the rotation stability, and making the rotation of the pulp nozzle more reliable. Moreover, the paddle nozzle is installed from top to bottom at the installation opening. Compared with the bottom-up installation method in traditional technology, the user can see the paddle nozzle placement area more intuitively to clearly understand the placement range of the paddle nozzle without bending over or tilting to operate, thereby improving the convenience of installation and the intuitiveness of operation, and improving the user experience.

[0009] In addition, by providing a receiving groove for accommodating the seat body at the bottom of the cup body, after the cup body is installed in place, the seat body can not only achieve axial limitation through the slurry nozzle placement area, but also achieve limitation through the receiving groove, which helps to improve the stability of the slurry nozzle position, avoid the slurry nozzle displacement resulting in inaccurate alignment with the valve assembly, resulting in slurry overflowing from the gap between the slurry nozzle and the valve assembly during slurry discharge, and improve the stability of slurry discharge.

[0010] In a preferred implementation of an easy-to-clean food processor, the pulp nozzle placement area is concave to form a placement groove, and the placement groove and the receiving groove are connected and enclosed to form a receiving cavity of the receiving seat body.

[0011] A placement groove is formed in the slurry nozzle placement area, and the placement groove and the accommodating groove are connected and enclosed to form an accommodating cavity for accommodating the seat body. After the cup body is installed in place, the seat body can achieve effective axial limitation in the accommodating cavity, which is more conducive to the positioning and coordination of the slurry nozzle and the valve assembly, and further improves the stability of slurry discharge.

[0012] In a preferred implementation of an easy-to-clean food processor, the seat body and the transmission structure are magnetically and detachably matched.

[0013] By setting the seat body and the transmission structure as a magnetically detachable transmission match, after the cup body is installed in place, the seat body and the transmission structure achieve transmission match through magnetic attraction, the matching process is smoother, and the matching surface of the seat body and the transmission structure can be a smooth plane, avoiding the situation where there are protrusions or grooves after the two are matched, resulting in cleaning dead angles and making them difficult to clean, which helps to further ensure the cleanliness of the valve assembly and the pulp nozzle.

[0014] In a preferred implementation of an easy-to-clean food processor, a first magnet is provided on a side of the transmission structure close to the pulp nozzle, and a second magnet cooperating with the first magnet is provided in the base body.

[0015] By providing a first magnet on a side of the transmission structure close to the paddle nozzle and providing a second magnet in the base body that cooperates with the first magnet, the paddle nozzle and the transmission structure can achieve transmission through the magnetic attraction cooperation of the first magnet and the second magnet, the cooperation process is smoother, and the cooperation surfaces of the two can be smooth planes, avoiding the situation where there are protrusions or grooves after the two are matched, resulting in cleaning dead angles and making them difficult to clean, which helps to further ensure the cleanliness of the valve assembly and the paddle nozzle.

[0016] In a preferred implementation of the food processor that is easy to clean, a plurality of second magnets are provided, and the plurality of second magnets are arranged at intervals around the pipe opening of the pulp discharge pipe.

[0017] By arranging the second magnet in the seat body and providing a plurality of them, and the plurality of second magnets are arranged at intervals around the pipe opening of the slurry discharge pipe, the second magnets can realize magnetic attraction and cooperation with the second magnets in multiple directions, which helps to improve the magnetic attraction force between the slurry nozzle and the valve assembly, thereby improving the stability of the connection and cooperation between the two, ensuring the stability of the torque transmission from the valve assembly to the slurry nozzle, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotation of the slurry nozzle, and avoiding the situation where the slurry nozzle slips due to unstable transmission between the two, causing the slurry nozzle to rotate out of position or misalignment. At the same time, the plurality of second magnets are arranged at intervals around the pipe opening of the slurry discharge pipe, so that the slurry discharge pipe can be stressed in multiple directions, ensuring that the force on the slurry discharge pipe is uniform, and further improving the stability of the rotation of the slurry nozzle.

[0018] In a preferred implementation of an easy-to-clean food processor, the seat body includes a fixing seat with an open top and a cover plate covering the fixing seat, the cover plate and the fixing seat enclose a receiving cavity, and the first magnet is disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0019] By configuring the seat body to include a fixing seat with an open top and a cover plate covering the fixing seat, the cover plate and the fixing seat are combined to form a receiving cavity, and the first magnet is arranged in the receiving cavity, so that when the first magnet is installed, the first magnet can be first fixed in the fixing seat, and then the cover plate is covered on the fixing seat to achieve the installation of the first magnet, which helps to improve the position reliability of the first magnet, and at the same time facilitates the installation of the first magnet and improves assembly efficiency.

[0020] In a preferred implementation of an easy-to-clean food processor, one of the base and the transmission structure is provided with a buckle, and the other is provided with a slot that cooperates with the buckle transmission.

[0021] By providing one of the seat body and the transmission structure with a buckle and the other with a slot that cooperates with the buckle transmission, after the cup body is installed in place, the seat body and the transmission structure can achieve a snap-on transmission through the cooperation of the buckle and the slot, which helps to improve the stability of the connection between the two, ensure the stability of the torque transmission from the valve assembly to the paddle nozzle, and then ensure the stability of the rotation of the paddle nozzle, avoid the situation where the paddle nozzle slips due to unstable transmission between the two, and cause the paddle nozzle to rotate out of place or out of position, thereby improving the stability of slurry discharge.

[0022] In a preferred implementation of an easy-to-clean food processor, the base body is further provided with a limiting portion protruding outward, and the accommodating groove is provided with a rotation-stopping portion for limiting the moving range of the limiting portion.

[0023] By providing the seat body with a limiting portion protruding outward, the accommodating groove is provided with a stop portion which limits the moving range of the limiting portion, so that the accommodating groove can realize circumferential limitation of the paddle nozzle through the stop portion while realizing axial limitation of the paddle nozzle, thereby ensuring that when the paddle nozzle rotates to the pulp discharge position or the waste discharge position, the limiting portion stops rotating due to the obstruction of the stop portion, and at the same time the valve assembly can continue to rotate to the corresponding position to realize pulp discharge or waste discharge, thereby ensuring the stability of the operation of the whole machine.

[0024] In a preferred implementation of a food processor that is easy to clean, the valve assembly includes a valve body with a valve core disposed therein, and the transmission structure includes an upper clutch structure that rotates with the valve core and a lower clutch structure that is linked to or rotates relative to the upper clutch structure, and the lower clutch structure can drive the paddle nozzle to rotate.

[0025] By setting the transmission structure to include an upper clutch structure and a lower clutch structure that rotate with the valve core, and by switching the linkage state and the relative rotation state between the upper clutch structure and the lower clutch structure, the paddle nozzle and the valve core can be detachably connected, and the paddle nozzle and the valve core can realize the state switching of linkage and relative rotation. Since the lower clutch structure can be linked with the upper clutch structure to drive the paddle nozzle to rotate, so that the valve core drives the paddle nozzle to rotate, and the lower clutch structure can rotate relative to the upper clutch structure, the paddle nozzle is driven by the valve core to rotate to the working position (paddle discharge position or waste discharge position), and then the lower clutch structure and the upper clutch structure are changed to a separated and relatively rotating state, so that the valve core continues to rotate after the paddle nozzle remains in the working position, and the switching of the open and closed state is realized. Usually, the valve core keeps closed during the process of driving the paddle nozzle to rotate, and when the paddle nozzle rotates to the right position, the valve core continues to rotate to open. While realizing the flexible disassembly of the paddle nozzle and the valve core, the reliable linkage and cooperation after the paddle nozzle and the valve core are installed in place are ensured, so that the paddle nozzle smoothly switches the working position to realize the corresponding function, and the structure is reliable.

[0026] In a preferred implementation of the easy-to-clean food processor, the machine body is further hinged with an outer cover, which covers the top opening of the installation cavity to seal the cup body in the installation cavity.

[0027] By closing the outer cover on the opening at the top of the installation cavity, the installation cavity is closed after the outer cover is closed, and then the cup body is closed in the installation cavity. On the one hand, when the food processor is processing food, both the noise generated by the cup body crushing the food and the noise generated by the motor assembly in the machine body can be blocked in the installation cavity, avoiding the noise from directly propagating outward through the opening at the top of the installation cavity, which helps to further improve the noise reduction effect, thereby achieving the cup body being detachable relative to the machine body while also significantly reducing the working noise, satisfying the consumer's quiet use experience; on the other hand, the cup body is hidden and installed, which protects the cup body, avoiding the cup body from direct contact with the outside world, causing external dust to fly into the installation cavity or even the cup body, causing the food to be contaminated, and ensuring the consistency of the appearance of the whole machine, especially the food processor that does not need to be washed by hand, thereby improving the user experience.

[0042] The present application sets the cup body 2 to be detachably installed in the installation cavity 11, so that the user can replace different cup bodies 2 according to different usage requirements, such as a crushing cup, a dry grinding cup, and a minced meat cup, so as to process different ingredients, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, the installation cavity 11 can play a certain positioning role on the cup body 2. The installation cavity 11 can limit the cup body 2 circumferentially to ensure the stability of the position of the cup body 2 in the installation cavity 11, and avoid the cup body 2 from shaking greatly, thereby further reducing the noise generated by the shaking of the cup body 2, and is beneficial to the stability of the cup body 2 during the operation of the food processing part. In addition, the cup body 2 is located in the installation cavity 11, and the noise generated in the cup body 2 can be repeatedly rebounded in the installation cavity 11, thereby greatly reducing the energy of the noise, and then reducing the volume of the noise propagating outward, which helps to improve the noise reduction effect.

[0043] At the same time, the mounting cavity 11 is provided with a mounting portion 12, on which a paddle nozzle 4 is detachably provided, and the valve assembly 3 is provided with a transmission structure, which can drive the paddle nozzle 4 to rotate, so that the paddle nozzle 4 can be detachably mounted on the mounting portion 12 and is detachably transmission-connected with the valve assembly 3, and the paddle nozzle 4 can be disassembled relative to the cup body 2. At the same time, the paddle nozzle 4 can be independently mounted on the machine body 1 and disassembled relative to the machine body 1. Therefore, it is convenient to disassemble and clean the paddle nozzle 4 and to deeply clean the outlet position of the valve assembly 3 after the cup body 2 is disassembled, so as to deeply clean the valve assembly 3, ensure the cleanliness of the valve assembly 3 and the paddle nozzle 4, and avoid the situation where the valve assembly 3 and the paddle nozzle 4 are not effectively cleaned, resulting in residual dirt inside, causing them to produce odor or even mold.

[0044] At the same time, by setting the slurry nozzle 4 to include a slurry discharge pipe 42 and a seat body 41 fixed at the inlet end of the slurry discharge pipe 42, the mounting portion 12 is penetrated with a mounting opening 121 for the slurry discharge pipe 42 to pass through, and the seat body 41 and the mounting opening 121 cooperate to prevent the slurry discharge pipe 42 from detaching upward from the mounting opening 121 along with the cup body 2, ensuring that the slurry discharge pipe 42 will not detach from the mounting portion 12 during the removal of the cup body 2, thereby avoiding the difficulty in removing the cup body 2 due to the collision and friction between the slurry discharge nozzle 4 and the mounting opening 121, making the removal of the cup body 2 labor-saving, and at the same time avoiding the residual liquid inside the slurry discharge nozzle 4 from dripping onto the mounting platform and the mounting portion 12 due to the slurry discharge nozzle 4 being taken out of the mounting opening 121, causing cleaning troubles for the user. In addition, when the whole machine is working, the seat body 41 is used to achieve axial and radial limiting with the mounting portion 12, thereby avoiding the slurry discharge nozzle 4 from moving up and down and left and right during rotation, improving the rotation stability, and making the rotation of the slurry discharge nozzle 4 more reliable. Moreover, the paddle nozzle 4 is installed from top to bottom at the installation opening 121. Compared with the bottom-up installation method in the traditional technology, the user can more intuitively see the placement area of ​​the paddle nozzle 4 to clearly understand the placement range of the paddle nozzle 4 without bending over or tilting to operate, thereby improving the convenience of installation and the intuitiveness of operation, and improving the user experience.

[0045] In addition, by providing a receiving groove 22 for accommodating the seat body 41 at the bottom of the cup body 2, after the cup body 2 is installed in place, the seat body 41 can not only achieve axial limitation through the placement area of ​​the slurry nozzle 4, but also achieve limitation through the receiving groove 22, which helps to improve the stability of the position of the slurry nozzle 4, avoid the displacement of the slurry nozzle 4 resulting in inaccurate alignment with the valve assembly 3, and cause the slurry to overflow from the gap between the slurry nozzle 4 and the valve assembly 3 during slurry discharge, thereby improving the stability of slurry discharge.

[0046] It should be noted that the present application does not specifically limit the cooperation mode between the transmission structure and the paddle nozzle 4, which can be any one of the following embodiments:

[0047] Example 1: Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the seat body 41 and the transmission structure are magnetically attracted and detachable for transmission.

[0048] By setting the seat body 41 and the transmission structure as a magnetically detachable transmission match, after the cup body 2 is installed in place, the seat body 41 and the transmission structure can achieve transmission match through magnetic attraction, the matching process is smoother, and the matching surface of the seat body 41 and the transmission structure can be a smooth plane, avoiding the situation where there are protrusions or grooves after the two are matched, resulting in cleaning dead angles and making them difficult to clean, which helps to further ensure the cleanliness of the valve assembly 3 and the pulp nozzle 4.

[0049] Furthermore, if Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, a first magnet 7 is provided on one side of the transmission structure close to the pulp nozzle 4 , and a second magnet 8 cooperating with the first magnet 7 is provided in the seat body 41 .

[0050] By providing a first magnet 7 on the side of the transmission structure close to the slurry nozzle 4, and providing a second magnet 8 that cooperates with the first magnet 7 in the seat body 41, the slurry nozzle 4 and the transmission structure can achieve transmission through the magnetic attraction cooperation of the first magnet 7 and the second magnet 8, the cooperation process is smoother, and the cooperation surfaces of the two can be smooth planes, avoiding the situation where there are protrusions or grooves after the two are matched, resulting in cleaning dead angles and making them difficult to clean, which helps to further ensure the cleanliness of the valve assembly 3 and the slurry nozzle 4.

[0051] It should be further explained that the present application does not specifically limit the location of the second magnet 8. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of second magnets 8 are provided, and the plurality of second magnets 8 are arranged at intervals around the pipe opening of the slurry discharge pipe 42 .

[0052] By providing a plurality of second magnets 8, and arranging the plurality of second magnets 8 around the orifice of the slurry discharge pipe 42 at intervals, the second magnets 8 and the second magnets 8 can achieve magnetic attraction in multiple directions, which helps to improve the magnetic attraction between the slurry nozzle 4 and the valve assembly 3, thereby improving the stability of the connection and coordination between the two, ensuring the stability of the torque transmission from the valve assembly 3 to the slurry nozzle 4, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotation of the slurry nozzle 4, and avoiding the situation where the slurry nozzle 4 slips due to unstable transmission between the two, causing the slurry nozzle 4 to rotate out of position or misalignment. At the same time, the plurality of second magnets 8 are arranged at intervals around the orifice of the slurry discharge pipe 42, so that the slurry discharge pipe 42 can be stressed in multiple directions, ensuring that the force on the slurry discharge pipe 42 is uniform, and further improving the stability of the rotation of the slurry nozzle 4.

[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, the seat body 41 includes a fixing seat 44 with an open top and a cover plate 43 covering the fixing seat 44. The cover plate 43 and the fixing seat 44 are combined to form a receiving cavity, and the second magnet 8 is disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0054] By configuring the seat body 41 to include a fixing seat 44 with an open top and a cover plate 43 covering the fixing seat 44, the cover plate 43 and the fixing seat 44 enclose a receiving cavity, and the second magnet 8 is arranged in the receiving cavity, so that when the second magnet 8 is installed, the second magnet 8 can be first fixed in the fixing seat 44, and then the cover plate 43 is covered on the fixing seat 44 to achieve the installation of the second magnet 8, which helps to improve the position reliability of the second magnet 8, and at the same time facilitates the installation of the second magnet 8 and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0055] Embodiment 2: In this embodiment, one of the seat body 41 and the transmission structure is provided with a buckle, and the other is provided with a slot that cooperates with the buckle transmission. Preferably, the seat body 41 is provided with a buckle, and the transmission structure is provided with a slot that is engaged with the buckle.

[0056] By providing one of the seat body 41 and the transmission structure with a buckle, and the other with a slot that cooperates with the buckle transmission, after the cup body 2 is installed in place, the seat body 41 and the transmission structure can achieve a snap-on transmission through the cooperation of the buckle and the slot, which helps to improve the stability of the connection between the two, ensure the stability of the torque transmission from the valve assembly 3 to the paddle nozzle 4, and then ensure the stability of the rotation of the paddle nozzle 4, avoid the situation where the paddle nozzle 4 slips due to unstable transmission between the two, and cause the paddle nozzle 4 to rotate out of place or out of position, thereby improving the stability of pulp discharge.

[0057] As a preferred implementation of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, the seat body 41 is further provided with a limiting portion 411 protruding outward, and the receiving groove 22 is provided with a rotation-stopping portion 221 for limiting the moving range of the limiting portion 411 .

[0058] By also providing a limiting portion 411 protruding outward on the seat body 41, and providing the accommodating groove 22 with a stop portion 221 for limiting the moving range of the limiting portion 411, the accommodating groove 22 can realize axial limiting of the paddle nozzle 4 while also realizing circumferential limiting of the paddle nozzle 4 through the stop portion 221, thereby ensuring that when the paddle nozzle 4 rotates to the pulp discharge position or the waste discharge position, the limiting portion 411 stops rotating due to the obstruction of the stop portion 221, and at the same time the valve assembly 3 can continue to rotate to the corresponding position to discharge pulp or waste, thereby ensuring the stability of the operation of the entire machine.

[0059] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the limiting portion 411 is a limiting protrusion protruding outward from the seat body 41, and the anti-rotation portion 221 is a limiting groove extending outward from the accommodating groove 22 and adapted to the limiting protrusion. The two extending ends of the limiting groove respectively correspond to the pulp discharge position and the waste discharge position of the pulp nozzle 4, thereby ensuring the reliability of the position of the pulp nozzle 4.

[0060] As a preferred implementation of the present application, Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the valve assembly 3 includes a valve body 31 with a valve core 32 therein, and the transmission structure includes an upper clutch structure 5 that rotates with the valve core 32 and a lower clutch structure 6 that is linked to or rotates relatively with the upper clutch structure 5, and the lower clutch structure 6 can drive the paddle nozzle 4 to rotate.

[0061] By setting the transmission structure to include an upper clutch structure 5 and a lower clutch structure 6 that rotate with the valve core 32, the linkage state and the relative rotation state switching between the upper clutch structure 5 and the lower clutch structure 6 can be switched, so that the paddle nozzle 4 and the valve core 32 can be detachably connected, and the paddle nozzle 4 and the valve core 32 can achieve linkage and relative rotation state switching. Since the lower clutch structure 6 can be linked with the upper clutch structure 5 to drive the paddle nozzle 4 to rotate, so that the valve core 32 drives the paddle nozzle 4 to rotate, and the lower clutch structure 6 can rotate relative to the upper clutch structure 5, the paddle nozzle 4 is driven by the valve core 32 to rotate to the working position (paddle discharge position or waste discharge position), and then the lower clutch structure 6 and the upper clutch structure 5 are changed to a separated and relatively rotating state, so that the paddle nozzle 4 remains in the working position and the valve core 32 continues to rotate to achieve the switching of the open and closed state. Usually, the valve core 32 keeps closed during the process of driving the paddle nozzle 4 to rotate, and when the paddle nozzle 4 rotates to the right position, the valve core 32 continues to rotate to open. While realizing flexible disassembly of the paddle nozzle 4 and the valve core 32, reliable linkage and cooperation between the paddle nozzle 4 and the valve core 32 after they are installed in place are ensured, so that the paddle nozzle 4 can smoothly switch the working position to realize the corresponding function, and the structure is reliable.

[0062] Specifically, Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the valve body 31 includes a valve shell 33, an upper clutch structure 5 is an upper end face tooth 51 fixed on the end face of the valve core 32, and a lower clutch structure 6 includes a rotating seat 61 rotatably installed in the valve shell 33, a lower end face tooth 62 arranged on the upper end face of the rotating seat 61, and a spring 63 abutting between the valve shell 33 and the lower end face of the rotating seat 61. When the paddle nozzle 4 is driven to the working position and is limited, the valve core 32 is driven to overcome the elastic force of the spring 63, and the upper end face tooth 51 and the lower end face tooth 62 are changed from a meshing state to a separated state, so that the valve core 32 can rotate independently relative to the paddle nozzle 4.

[0063] As a preferred implementation of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the machine body 1 is also hinged with an outer cover 9 , which covers the top opening of the installation cavity 11 to seal the cup body in the installation cavity 11 .

[0064] By closing the outer cover 9 on the open top of the installation cavity 11, the installation cavity 11 is closed after the outer cover 9 is closed, and then the cup body 2 is closed in the installation cavity 11. On the one hand, when the food processor is processing food, both the noise generated by the cup body 2 crushing the food and the noise generated by the motor assembly in the body 1 can be blocked in the installation cavity 11, avoiding the noise from directly propagating outward through the open top of the installation cavity 11, which helps to further improve the noise reduction effect, thereby achieving the cup body 2 being detachable relative to the body 1 while also significantly reducing the working noise, satisfying the consumer's quiet use experience; on the other hand, the cup body 2 is hidden and installed, thereby protecting the cup body 2, avoiding the cup body 2 from direct contact with the outside world, causing external dust to fly into the installation cavity 11 or even the cup body 2, causing the food to be contaminated, and ensuring the consistency of the appearance of the whole machine, especially the food processor that does not need to be washed by hand, thereby improving the user experience.
