[0003] In the scheme, the fan directly blows air towards the pulp receiving cup, and due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the fan, a part of the airflow formed by the rotation of the fan will move centrifugally to cause large airflow loss, only a part of the airflow can be blown vertically into the pulp receiving cup, and in addition, the fan is installed exposed below the protruding portion or on the cup cover, so that the airflow cannot be concentrated, therefore, the utilization rate of the airflow blown by the fan is low, the airflow circulation speed is slow, the pulp liquid cooling efficiency is affected, and moreover, the whole machine will increase unnecessary power consumption and power consumption due to large airflow loss. In addition, since the fan directly blows air towards the pulp receiving cup, the steam generated by the hot pulp in the pulp receiving cup will also directly flow to the fan, causing damage to the fan or affecting the service life of the fan, and causing the problem of poor reliability of the fan. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0004] The utility model provides a food processor, which solves the problem of low cooling efficiency caused by directly blowing air towards the pulp liquid by the fan in the prior art and the problem of complex structure caused by improving the cooling efficiency.

[0079] In addition, on the basis of the implementation example, an opening can be arranged on the side wall of the valve core, the opening can be used as the first inlet and the second inlet, the first inlet 431 is communicated with the liquid discharge port at the same time as the second inlet 432 is closed in position from the air guide pipe 60, and the influence of steam on the fan assembly is reduced.

[0080] In the implementation example 4, the liquid discharge valve 40 further comprises a valve shell and a valve core rotatably arranged in the valve shell, the valve core is a spherical valve core, the valve shell has a first opening connected with the liquid discharge port, a second opening connected with the air guide pipe and a third opening connected with the liquid outlet nozzle, and the spherical valve core makes the first opening and the second opening selectively communicated with the third opening.

[0081] Optionally, in the implementation example, the spherical valve core is provided with one communication channel, and the spherical valve core is rotated to make the first opening and the second opening selectively communicated with the third opening by using one communication channel;

[0082] Or, the spherical valve core is provided with two communication channels, and the spherical valve core is rotated to make the first opening communicated with the third opening by using one communication channel; and the spherical valve core is rotated to make the first opening communicated with the third opening by using the other communication channel.

[0083] By using the spherical valve core to make the first opening and the second opening selectively communicated with the third opening, the liquid discharge and the air blowing of the liquid outlet nozzle can be selectively performed, the spherical valve core integrates the liquid discharge control and the air blowing control, the functions are integrated, the situation that steam enters the air guide pipe when the air guide pipe and the liquid discharge port are simultaneously communicated is avoided, another control valve for controlling the air guide pipe to be turned on or turned off is omitted, and the structure of the whole machine is simplified.

[0084] In a preferred implementation manner of the utility model, the food processor further comprises a control valve for switching the air guide pipe 60 to be turned on or turned off, and the control valve is closed during the process that the liquid outlet nozzle discharges liquid to the liquid receiving cup 20.

[0085] By setting the control valve, the control valve is closed during the process of the liquid outlet nozzle discharging liquid towards the liquid receiving cup 20, further avoiding the steam generated by the slurry passing through the liquid outlet nozzle and the slurry discharged into the liquid receiving cup 20 from flowing back into the air collecting nozzle 53 and the fan assembly 50 to cause the fan assembly 50 to be damaged by moisture, achieving protection of the fan assembly 50 and prolonging the service life of the fan assembly 50; meanwhile, the influence of the condensate water formed in the air collecting nozzle 53 or the air duct 60 on the smooth discharge of the cold air flow is reduced.

[0086] It can be understood that the control valve is preferably applied to the implementation mode in which the air duct is always in communication with the liquid outlet nozzle, and is used to be closed during the process of the liquid outlet nozzle discharging liquid towards the liquid receiving cup 20 to avoid steam entering the air duct. In fact, the control valve can also be applied to other implementation modes, so as to further ensure that the control valve is closed during the process of the liquid outlet nozzle discharging liquid towards the liquid receiving cup 20 in the case that the valve core can selectively guide the liquid discharge port and the air duct.

[0087] Regarding the specific structure of the control valve, optionally, the control valve is a silica gel sheet provided with a slit; or the control valve includes a valve sheet provided with a gas permeable hole and a spring sheet for covering the gas permeable hole, one end of the spring sheet is hinged to the edge of the gas permeable hole to be able to flip to open the gas permeable hole; or the control valve is a one-way valve or an electric control valve installed in the air duct 60.

[0088] By adopting the silica gel sheet with a slit, the silica gel sheet has good elasticity and sealing performance, and can be flexibly deformed to open the slit to allow airflow to pass through when subjected to the airflow pressure of the fan assembly 50, and can be reset to tightly close the slit by itself when no airflow passes through, preventing steam from flowing back or dust from entering, and the structure is simple and the switching of the air duct 60 is flexible. By adopting the hinged mode of the valve sheet and the spring sheet, the spring sheet moves to cover or open the gas permeable hole on the valve sheet, and the structure is simple and the control is reliable. By adopting the one-way valve and the electric control valve, the steam is effectively prevented from flowing back to the air duct 60, and the flow of the airflow is accurately controlled.

[0089] Of course, in another preferred implementation mode, the food processor further comprises a control device for controlling the fan assembly to be in a working state when the liquid discharge valve is in an open state. Thus, the liquid is discharged while the fan assembly is blowing to cool, the slurry cooling is accelerated, and the cooling efficiency is improved.

[0091] Each embodiment in the specification is described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between each embodiment can be referred to each other, and each embodiment mainly describes the difference from other embodiments.

[0092] The above merely illustrates the embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. The present application can be variously changed and modified by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the scope of claims of the present application.
