[0001] The utility model relates to a cooking equipment technical field, specifically, relate to a discharge valve and cooking machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] When the cooking machine is filled with liquid, the overall weight of the cooking machine is large, which greatly increases the difficulty for the user to lift the cooking machine, thereby bringing great inconvenience to the user to pour the liquid in the cooking machine. In related schemes, in order to solve the above technical problems, a cooking machine with a discharge valve is proposed, which can control the outflow of slurry by opening and closing the discharge valve. However, the internal part of the discharge valve of the cooking machine with such structure is not easy to clean, and food residues are often left in the discharge valve.
[0003] Therefore, how to design a discharge valve and cooking machine that are easy to clean has become a problem to be solved at present. SUMMARY
[0004] The utility model aims at solving the technical problem that the discharge valve of the cooking machine in the prior art or related art is not easy to clean.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the first aspect of the present application provides a discharge valve.
[0006] The second aspect of the present application provides a cooking machine.
[0007] The first aspect of the utility model provides a discharge valve for a cooking machine, the cooking machine comprising a cooking container, the cooking container being provided with a cooking cavity and a discharge port, the discharge port being in communication with the cooking cavity, the discharge valve comprising: a valve body, the valve body comprising a valve base and a movable assembly, the movable assembly being mounted on the valve base and being movable between a first position and a second position, the valve base being provided with a first channel; a valve cover being detachably mounted on the valve body, the valve cover being provided with a second channel, the outlet of the second channel being in communication with the inlet of the first channel to form a discharge channel; wherein when the discharge valve is mounted on the cooking container, the inlet of the second channel is in communication with the discharge port, the movable assembly is located at the first position to seal the discharge port and block the communication between the inlet of the second channel and the discharge port, and the movable assembly is located at the second position to open the discharge port and make the inlet of the second channel and the discharge port communicate.
[0008] The utility model discloses a discharge valve for a food processor. The food processor includes a cooking container and the discharge valve. The cooking container is provided with a cooking cavity for placing food materials. After the food materials are cooked, the obtained slurry can be discharged from the cooking cavity through a discharge port. The discharge valve is arranged on the cooking container. The discharge valve includes a valve body and a valve cover. The valve body includes a valve base and a movable assembly. The valve base and the valve cover form a valve seat assembly of the discharge valve. During installation, the movable assembly and the like are first installed on the valve base, so that the valve base and the movable assembly and the like are assembled into an assembly (i.e., the valve body). Then, the valve cover can be installed on the valve body. The valve base is provided with a first channel, and the valve cover is provided with a second channel. After the valve base and the valve cover are assembled, the first channel and the second channel are in communication to form a discharge channel for discharging materials.
[0009] The movable assembly is installed on the valve base and is used to open and close the discharge port. Specifically, the movable assembly can act between a first position and a second position. When the movable assembly is in the first position, the discharge channel and the discharge port are in communication to open the discharge port. At this time, the slurry in the cooking cavity can enter the discharge channel through the discharge port and then be discharged from the outlet (i.e., the discharge port) of the discharge channel. When the movable assembly is in the second position, the communication between the discharge channel and the discharge port is blocked to close the discharge port. In this way, the discharge port can be opened or closed by the discharge valve, so that the discharge port can be opened or closed according to the user's needs.
[0010] The discharge valve can open and close the discharge port, so that the user does not need to pre-cook the container to pour the slurry. In this way, the user experience is improved. At the same time, the discharge valve is split along the length direction of the discharge channel. During cleaning, the discharge valve can be split into two parts for cleaning, and each part includes a channel for discharging. In this way, the channel for discharging on each part is relatively short when the discharge valve is split into two parts for cleaning, so that the valve body is very easy to clean.
[0011] In addition, the discharge valve can be split into two parts. One part is the valve body, which includes the valve base, the movable assembly, and the pressing member. The other part is the valve cover. In this way, the valve cover can be directly detached from the valve body to expose part of the movable assembly and the second channel on the valve body, so that the valve body is very easy to clean.
[0012] In any of the above embodiments, the valve cover can be detachably installed on the valve body in the horizontal direction. After the discharge valve is installed on the food processor, the valve cover and the valve body can be split into two assemblies in the horizontal direction. In this way, the valve cover and the valve body can be split into two assemblies in the extension direction of the discharge channel, so that the valve body is very easy to clean.
[0013] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the valve cover comprises a guide portion, a part of the guide portion is inserted into the first channel, and the guide portion constitutes a part of the second channel.
[0014] In this embodiment, the part of the channel on the valve cover extends into the second channel, so that the first channel and the second channel are connected with better sealing effect, so as to improve the sealing effect between the valve cover and the valve base, and avoid leakage of slurry from the connection between the valve base and the valve cover.
[0015] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, a guide surface is arranged on the guide portion, and the position of the guide surface in the height direction of the discharge valve gradually decreases in the direction from the inlet (i.e. the first inlet) to the outlet of the second channel.
[0016] In this embodiment, the guide portion is provided with an inclined guide surface, and the position of the guide surface in the height direction of the discharge valve gradually decreases in the direction from the inlet (i.e. the first inlet) to the outlet of the second channel. The guide surface can accelerate the discharge speed of the material and improve the discharge effect of the discharge valve.
[0017] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the valve body further comprises a sealing member arranged on the valve cover and / or arranged on the valve base, for sealing the gap between the valve cover and the valve base.
[0018] In this embodiment, the sealing member can ensure the sealing effect between the valve base and the valve cover after assembly, and avoid leakage of slurry from the connection between the valve base and the valve cover. In design, a sealing groove can be arranged on the valve base or the valve cover, and the sealing member is installed in the sealing groove, so as to ensure the installation reliability of the sealing member on the valve base or the valve cover.
[0019] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the valve base is further provided with a containing cavity and a first mounting hole in communication with the containing cavity; a part of the movable assembly is installed in the containing cavity, and another part of the movable assembly extends out of the containing cavity through the first mounting hole and extends to the side of the valve cover away from the valve base through the inlet of the second channel.
[0020] In this embodiment, the discharge channel and the accommodating cavity are separated from each other, so that the discharge channel can be flushed, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning the discharge valve. Meanwhile, the second end of the movable assembly, i.e., the end of the second channel extending to the side of the valve cover away from the valve base, can be used to close and open the discharge port by moving the movable assembly between the first position and the second position. Since the second end of the movable assembly used for closing and opening can extend to the outside of the valve cover through the inlet of the second channel, after the valve cover is removed, the part of the movable assembly located in the accommodating cavity can be exposed, so that the end of the movable assembly in contact with the flow can be cleaned after the valve cover is removed. This way, the cleaning of the movable assembly is very convenient, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the discharge valve and improving the user experience.
[0021] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, a drain hole is arranged on the valve base and communicates with the accommodating cavity.
[0022] In this embodiment, the valve base is provided with a drain hole communicating with the accommodating cavity. During the cleaning of the discharge valve, if water enters the accommodating cavity through the button gap, assembly gap or the like of the discharge valve, the water entering the accommodating cavity can be discharged in time through the drain hole, thereby avoiding the residual cleaning wastewater in the discharge valve and ensuring the hygiene of the discharge valve after long-term use, solving the problem of bacteria breeding and odor generation in the discharge valve after long-term use in the related solutions.
[0023] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the valve base comprises: a support comprising a bottom shell, a side plate and a surrounding plate, the side plate being mounted on one side of the bottom shell, and the surrounding plate being mounted on the bottom shell and surrounding the bottom shell and the surrounding plate to form a first channel; a partition member mounted on the surrounding plate and surrounding the surrounding plate and the side plate to form a movable cavity, a first mounting hole being arranged on the side plate and communicating with the movable cavity, a part of the movable assembly being located in the movable cavity; and an outer shell being detachably connected with the bottom shell and the side plate, the outer shell, the bottom shell and the side plate surrounding the accommodating cavity, and the surrounding plate and the partition member being located in the accommodating cavity; wherein the drain hole is arranged on the bottom shell and located outside the movable cavity.
[0024] In this embodiment, the valve base comprises a support, an outer shell and a partition member. The support is a main supporting component, and the outer shell is an appearance component. The partition member is used to surround the surrounding plate and the side plate to form a movable cavity to accommodate the installation of the movable assembly. The overall space surrounded by the outer shell and the support is the accommodating cavity, and the surrounding plate, the partition member and the movable assembly are located inside the accommodating cavity. The drain hole is arranged on the bottom shell and located outside the movable cavity, and can communicate with the movable cavity or the peripheral cavity surrounded by the outer shell, the partition member and the support. Alternatively, the drain hole communicates with both the movable cavity and the peripheral cavity, so that the residual water inside the entire valve base can be discharged in time, thereby avoiding the breeding of bacteria due to water remaining at the bottom of the valve base.
[0025] Optionally, in any of the above embodiments, the drain hole is located at the lowest position of the accommodating cavity along the height direction of the discharge valve.
[0026] In this embodiment, the drain hole is arranged at the lowest position of the accommodating cavity, so that the water in the accommodating cavity can be drained in time, and the problem of residual water caused by arranging the drain hole too high can be avoided. In addition, the arrangement can also drain the wastewater remaining in the interior during cleaning of the discharge valve by gravity, so that the overall structure of the discharge valve is relatively simple.
[0027] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, a through hole is arranged on the valve base and communicates with the accommodating cavity, and the discharge valve further comprises: a pressing member movably mounted on the valve base, and a part of the pressing member is located outside the valve base, and another part of the pressing member is inserted into the accommodating cavity through the through hole and cooperates with the movable assembly, the pressing member can move from the third position to the fourth position, so that the movable assembly moves from the first position to the second position; a reset member located between the movable assembly and the valve base, used to move the pressing member from the fourth position to the third position after the external force on the pressing member is removed, and simultaneously move the movable assembly from the second position to the first position.
[0028] In this embodiment, when the discharge port needs to be opened, the movable assembly is pushed by the pressing member. Specifically, when the pressing member is pressed, the pressing member can push the movable assembly, so that the movable assembly drives the sealing rubber sleeve to move away from the discharge port, thereby releasing the sealing of the discharge port. The reset member is arranged between the movable assembly and the valve base, and is used to provide the movable assembly with elastic force to move towards the discharge port. After the movable assembly is pushed by the pressing member, the reset member is compressed. When the user stops pressing the pressing member, the reset member automatically pushes the movable assembly and the sealing rubber sleeve to move towards the discharge port, thereby realizing the function of automatically closing the discharge port and simplifying the operation of the user.
[0029] At the same time, when the user stops pressing the pressing member, the reset member can also push the pressing member back to the third position, i.e. the position before pressing. In this structure, the pressing member and the movable assembly share the same reset member, so that the structure of the entire discharge valve is relatively simple. When the discharge port is opened for liquid discharge, the user needs to press the pressing member all the time, so that the liquid discharge can be immediately stopped when the user leaves. Because many food processors have heating function, the temperature of the discharged liquid is relatively high. By arranging the structure of continuously pressing the liquid discharge, the user can be prevented from being scalded by the high-temperature liquid after leaving, so that the design of the discharge valve is safer.
[0030] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the through hole is arranged at the top of the valve base along the height direction of the discharge valve. A part of the pressing member protrudes from the top of the valve base.
[0031] In this embodiment, the through hole is arranged at the bottom of the valve base, so that a part of the pressing member can extend out of the top of the valve base, and thus the pressing member can be arranged higher, so that the user can operate the pressing member when standing normally, and thus the operation convenience of the discharge valve is improved.
[0032] Further, the shell is provided with a through hole, and the discharge valve further comprises a pressing member, which is mounted on the partition member, and a part of the pressing member is located outside the movable cavity and extends out of the shell through the through hole.
[0033] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the movable assembly comprises a sliding member, a part of the sliding member is mounted in the accommodating cavity, another part of the sliding member extends out of the accommodating cavity through the first mounting hole, and the sliding member can slide along the axis of the first mounting hole relative to the valve base; a sealing rubber sleeve, one end of the sealing rubber sleeve is sleeved on the end of the sliding member located outside the accommodating cavity, and the other end of the sealing rubber sleeve is connected with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity, for sealing the gap between the sliding member and the inner wall of the first mounting hole.
[0034] In this embodiment, the movable assembly comprises a slidingly arranged sliding member. The opening and closing of the discharge port can be realized by the movement of the sliding member. The sealing rubber sleeve is used to seal the gap between the sliding member and the valve cover, so as to ensure that the juice outside the valve cover cannot enter into the valve cover through the first mounting hole.
[0035] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the sealing rubber sleeve comprises a first sealing part, which is sleeved on the end of the sliding member located outside the accommodating cavity, for sealing the discharge port together with the sliding member when the movable assembly is located at the first position; a second sealing part, which is connected between the sliding member and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity, for sealing the gap between the sliding member and the inner wall of the first mounting hole; and a folding part, which is connected between the first sealing part and the second sealing part, and can be unfolded or folded following the sliding of the sliding member.
[0036] In the technical scheme, the sealing sleeve comprises a first sealing part, a second sealing part and a folding part, the second sealing part is used for sealing the gap between the sliding part and the first mounting hole, so that juice outside the valve base cannot enter into the valve base through the first mounting hole, and thus the difficulty of cleaning the discharge valve can be reduced, and the slurry can be prevented from being stored in the discharge valve for a long time. The first sealing part is arranged on the first end of the sliding part, so as to enhance the elasticity and softness of the first end of the sliding part, and thus the sealing sleeve can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the discharge port through the elastic deformation of the first sealing part, so that the sealing effect of the discharge port can be improved, and the slurry can be prevented from overflowing. The folding part is used for stretching and contracting along with the sliding part when the sliding part stretches and contracts, so that the sliding part can stretch and contract normally without interfering with the sealing sleeve. After the first sealing part is fixed to the sliding part, the sealing sleeve can stretch and contract along with the sliding part, so that the sealing of the sliding part is realized through the deformation of the sealing sleeve. In the structure, the second sealing part and the valve base belong to static sealing, and thus the sealing between the sliding part and the valve base is ensured through the static sealing of the elastic sleeve, so that the sliding sealing between the sliding part and the valve base is not needed, and thus the sealing effect is ensured, and the structure of the whole movable assembly is simplified.
[0037] In a possible application, the folding part comprises a plurality of folding segments, and a fold line is arranged between adjacent two folding segments.
[0038] In a possible application, the side wall of the discharge valve is flush with the side wall of the handle.
[0039] In some technical schemes, the cross-sectional area of the drain hole is greater than or equal to 3 mm 2 . In this way, the drainage speed can be ensured. However, the cross-sectional area of the drain hole should not be too large, and the maximum should not exceed 6 mm 2 .
[0040] Optionally, the number of the drain holes is one or more. The number can be set as required.
[0041] Optionally, the drain hole comprises a circular hole and / or a square hole, but can also be other irregular holes.
[0042] The second aspect of the embodiment of the utility model provides a kind of food processor, comprising: cooking container, cooking container is equipped with cooking cavity and discharge port, discharge port is communicated with cooking cavity;Any one of the first aspect embodiment proposed discharge valve is installed on cooking container.

[0044] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the discharging valve is detachably mounted on the food container.
[0045] In the technical solutions, the discharging valve can be detached for separate cleaning, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the discharging valve. In addition, when the discharging valve is damaged, the discharging valve can be replaced separately, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the food processor.
[0046] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, a rotating buckle structure or a sliding buckle structure is arranged between the discharging valve and the food container, and the discharging valve and the food container are detachably connected through the rotating buckle structure or the sliding buckle structure.
[0047] In the embodiment, the discharging valve and the food container can be detachably connected through buckling, so that the discharging valve and the food container are easy to disassemble, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the discharging valve. In a specific embodiment, the discharging valve and the food container can be rotatably buckled through a rotating buckle structure, which makes the detachable structure between the two relatively simple. In another embodiment, the discharging valve and the food container can also be slidably detachably connected through a sliding buckle structure.
[0048] In a specific embodiment, one of the discharging valve and the food container is provided with a plug-in hole, a plug-in part and the plug-in hole; one of the plug-in part and the plug-in hole is provided with a sliding groove and a first buckle, and the other of the plug-in part and the plug-in hole is provided with a second buckle; when the second buckle and the sliding groove are aligned, the plug-in part can be inserted into the plug-in hole, and after the plug-in part is inserted into the plug-in hole, the plug-in part is rotated to enable the first buckle and the second buckle to be buckled with each other. This structure enables the discharging valve and the food container to be first plugged in and then rotatably buckled.
[0049] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the food processor further comprises: an agitating member connected with the food container and detachably mounted in the food container; and a base assembly comprising a driving assembly, wherein when the food container is mounted on the base assembly, the driving assembly is connected with the agitating member and can drive the agitating member to rotate.
[0050] In the embodiment, the food processor comprises a base assembly and a cup assembly. The food container, the discharging valve and the like are assembled into the cup assembly. The cup assembly is detachably mounted on the base assembly. The base assembly comprises a driving assembly, and when the cup assembly is mounted on the base assembly, the driving assembly is connected with the agitating member and can drive the agitating member to rotate. The agitating member can agitate the food material in the food container, so that the food material slurry can be obtained.
[0051] The base assembly is mainly used for providing power supply for the cup assembly and supporting the cup assembly.
[0052] In some embodiments, the food processor further comprises: a driving part connected with the food container; and a limiting part connected with the food container, the driving part being configured to drive the limiting part to move between the locking position and the unlocking position, the limiting part being configured to limit the discharging valve from being separated from the food container when the limiting part is in the locking position, and the limiting part being configured to release the locking of the discharging valve when the limiting part is in the unlocking position.
[0053] In this embodiment, the limiting part is arranged on the food container and is movable between the locking position and the unlocking position, and the driving part is arranged on the food processor and is connected with the limiting part, and is configured to drive the limiting part to move relative to the food container. When the limiting part is in the locking position, the limiting part is connected with the discharging valve and is configured to limit the discharging valve from moving relative to the food container, thereby fixing the discharging valve on the food container. When the limiting part is moved to the unlocking position, the limiting part is separated from the discharging valve, thereby releasing the limiting of the discharging valve, and the discharging valve can be separated from the food container for cleaning. The fixing of the discharging valve by the limiting part makes the installation and dismounting of the discharging valve simple and convenient, thereby improving the convenience of the food processor for the user.
[0054] In some embodiments, the driving part comprises: a pressing member slidingly connected with the food container, the pressing member being configured to push the limiting part to move from the locking position to the unlocking position; and an elastic member arranged between the limiting part and the food container, the elastic member being configured to drive the limiting part to return to the locking position when the limiting part moves from the locking position to the unlocking position.
[0055] When the limiting part needs to be released from the locking of the discharging valve, the pressing member is used to push the limiting part. Specifically, when the pressing member is pressed, the pressing member can push the limiting part to move from the locking position to the unlocking position, thereby allowing the discharging valve to be dismounted.
[0056] The elastic member is arranged between the limiting part and the food container and is configured to provide an elastic force to the limiting part to move to the locking position. The pressing member can push the limiting part to move to the unlocking position, and the elastic member is compressed at this time. When the user stops pressing the pressing member, the elastic member automatically pushes the limiting part to move to the locking position. When the discharging valve is installed, the user first moves the limiting part to the unlocking position by the pressing member to avoid the limiting part from hindering the installation of the discharging valve. When the discharging valve is installed in place, the user stops pressing the pressing member, and the limiting part is automatically moved to the locking position under the driving of the elastic member, thereby achieving the locking of the discharging valve and simplifying the operation of the user.

[0108] The following description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 37The discharging valve and the food processor are provided according to some embodiments of the utility model.
[0109] As Figures 1 to 37 shown, the utility model discloses a first aspect of embodiment provides a kind of discharging valve 2, for food processor, food processor includes cooking container 1, cooking container 1 is equipped with cooking cavity 122 and discharging port 124, discharging port 124 is communicated with cooking cavity 122.The structure of discharging valve 2 is as Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 15 、 Figure 16 、 Figure 17 And Figure 26 And Figure 27 Shown.Discharging valve 2 includes: valve main body 29, valve main body 29 includes valve base 222 and movable assembly 24, movable assembly 24 is installed on valve base 222, can move between first position and second position, valve base 222 is provided with first passageway 2226;Valve cover 224, detachably installed on valve main body 29, valve cover 224 is provided with second passageway 2242, the outlet of second passageway 2242 and the inlet of first passageway 2226 are communicated, form discharging channel 220.Discharging valve 2 is installed on cooking container 1, the inlet of second passageway 2242 and discharging port 124 are communicated, movable assembly 24 is located in first position, can seal discharging port 124, to block the communication of the inlet of second passageway 2242 and discharging port 124, movable assembly 24 is located in second position, can open discharging port 124, so that the inlet of second passageway 2242 and discharging port 124 are communicated.
[0110] According to the utility model discloses a discharging valve 2, for food processor, food processor includes cooking container 1 and discharging valve 2.Cooking container 1 is provided with cooking cavity 122, and the slurry obtained after material is cooked in cooking cavity 122 can be discharged from cooking cavity 122 by discharging port 124.Discharging valve 2 is arranged on cooking container 1.
[0111] Among them, as Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 15 、 Figure 16 、 Figure 17 、 Figure 26 And Figure 27As shown, the discharge valve 2 comprises a valve body 29 and a valve cover 224. The valve body 29 comprises a valve base 222 and a movable assembly 24. Among them, the valve base 222 and the valve cover 224 form a valve seat assembly 22 of the entire discharge valve 2. When installed, the movable assembly 24 and the like can be installed on the valve base 222 first, so that the valve base 222 and the movable assembly 24 and the like are assembled into an assembly (i.e. the valve body 29), and then the valve cover 224 can be installed on the valve body 29. Among them, the valve base 222 is provided with a first channel 2226, and the valve cover 224 is formed with a second channel 2242, and after the valve base 222 and the valve cover 224 are assembled, the first channel 2226 and the second channel 2242 are communicated to form a discharge channel 220 for discharging materials.
[0112] Among them, the movable assembly 24 is installed on the valve base 222 and used for opening and closing the discharge port 124. Specifically, the movable assembly 24 can act between a first position and a second position. When the movable assembly 24 is in the first position, the discharge channel 220 and the discharge port 124 are communicated to open the discharge port 124, at this time, the slurry in the cooking cavity 122 can enter the discharge channel 220 through the discharge port 124, and then be discharged from the outlet of the discharge channel 220 (i.e. the discharge port 22262). When the movable assembly 24 is in the second position, the communication between the discharge channel 220 and the discharge port 124 is blocked to close the discharge port 124. In this way, the discharge valve 2 can be opened or closed to open or close the discharge port 124 according to the user's needs.
[0113] The discharge valve 2 can open and close the discharge port 124, so that the user does not need to pre-cook the container 1 to pour the slurry, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, the valve seat assembly 22 of the discharge valve 2 is split along the length direction of the discharge channel 220. When cleaning, the discharge valve 2 can be divided into two parts for cleaning, and each part includes a discharge channel. In this way, when the discharge valve 2 is divided into two parts for cleaning, the discharge channel on each part is relatively short, thereby facilitating cleaning of the valve body 29.
[0114] In addition, the discharge valve 2 can be split into two parts, one part is the valve body 29, which includes the valve base 222, the movable assembly 24, the pressing piece 26 and the like. The other part is the valve cover 224. In this way, the valve cover 224 can be directly detached from the valve body 29 to expose part of the movable assembly 24 and the second channel 2242 on the valve body 29, thereby facilitating cleaning of the valve body 29.
[0115] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as Figure 15 , Figure 26 and Figure 37As shown, the valve cover 224 is detachably mounted on the valve body 29 in a horizontal direction, that is, the valve cover 224 and the valve body 29 can be split in the extension direction of the discharge channel 220. That is, after the discharge valve 2 is mounted on the food processor, the valve cover 224 and the valve body 29 can be split into two components in the horizontal direction. This scheme is more convenient for cleaning the discharge valve 2 than splitting the discharge valve 2 in the up-down direction.
[0116] Optionally, as shown in Figure 15 , Figure 26 and Figure 27 , the valve cover 224 comprises a guide portion 2246, part of the guide portion 2246 is inserted into the first channel 2226, and the guide portion 2246 constitutes part of the second channel 2242.
[0117] In this embodiment, part of the channel on the valve cover 224 extends into the second channel 2242, so that the sealing effect is better when the first channel 2226 and the second channel 2242 are connected, so as to improve the sealing effect between the valve cover 224 and the valve base 222, and avoid leakage of slurry from the connection between the valve base 222 and the valve cover 224. Specifically, a guide portion 2246 can be provided on the valve cover 224, part of the guide portion 2246 is inserted into the first channel 2226, and the guide portion 2246 constitutes part of the second channel 2242, so that the slurry in the valve cover 224 can be guided into the second channel 2242 through the guide portion 2246. The guide portion 2246 can improve the outflow speed of the slurry and improve the slurry discharge efficiency.
[0118] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 26 and Figure 27 , the guide portion 2246 is provided with a guide surface, and the position of the guide surface in the height direction of the discharge valve 2 gradually decreases in the direction from the inlet (i.e., the first inlet 2244) to the outlet of the second channel 2242.
[0119] In this embodiment, the guide portion 2246 is provided with an inclined guide surface, and the position of the guide surface in the height direction of the discharge valve 2 gradually decreases in the direction from the inlet (i.e., the first inlet 2244) to the outlet of the second channel 2242. The guide surface can accelerate the discharge speed of the material and improve the discharge effect of the discharge valve 2.
[0120] Optionally, as shown in Figure 26 , Figure 27 and Figure 28 , the valve body 29 further comprises a sealing member 228 provided on the valve cover 224 and / or provided on the valve base 222, for sealing the gap between the valve cover 224 and the valve base 222.
[0121] In this embodiment, the sealing effect between the valve base 222 and the valve cover 224 after the two are assembled can be ensured by the sealing member 228, so as to avoid leakage of slurry from the joint between the valve base 222 and the valve cover 224. In design, a sealing groove 22282 can be arranged on the valve base 222 or the valve cover 224, and the sealing member 228 is installed in the sealing groove 22282, so as to ensure the installation reliability of the sealing member 228 on the valve base 222 or the valve cover 224.
[0122] The specific structure of the sealing member 228 is shown in Figure 30 、 Figure 31 、 Figure 32 .
[0123] In any of the above embodiments, the valve base 222 can further be provided with a containing cavity 229 and a first mounting hole 2224 in communication with the containing cavity 229, as shown in Figures 12 to 15 . A part of the movable assembly 24 is installed in the containing cavity 229, and another part of the movable assembly 24 extends out of the containing cavity 229 through the first mounting hole 2224 and extends to the side of the valve cover 224 away from the valve base 222 through the inlet of the second channel 2242.
[0124] In this embodiment, the discharge channel 220 and the containing cavity 229 are separated from each other, so that the discharge channel 220 can be flushed, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning the discharge valve 2. At the same time, through the action of the movable assembly 24 between the first position and the second position, the second end of the movable assembly 24, i.e., the end extending out of the valve cover 224 through the inlet of the second channel 2242 to the side away from the valve base 222, can close and open the discharge port 124. Since the second end of the movable assembly 24 for opening and closing can extend out of the valve cover 224 through the inlet of the second channel 2242, after the valve cover 224 is removed, the part of the movable assembly 24 located in the containing cavity 229 can be exposed, so that the part of the movable assembly 24 in contact with the flow can be cleaned after the valve cover 224 is removed. This makes the cleaning of the movable assembly 24 very convenient, thereby reducing the cleaning difficulty of the discharge valve 2 and improving the user experience.
[0125] In any of the above embodiments, the valve base 222 can be provided with a drain hole 226 in communication with the containing cavity 229, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 15 and Figure 17 .
[0126] In the embodiment, the valve base 222 is provided with a drain hole 226 which is in communication with the accommodating cavity 229. During the cleaning of the discharge valve 2, if water enters the accommodating cavity 229 through the button gap, assembly gap and the like of the discharge valve 2, the water in the accommodating cavity 229 can be discharged in time through the drain hole 226, so as to avoid the residual cleaning waste water in the discharge valve 2 and ensure the hygiene of the discharge valve 2 after long-term use, and solve the problem that the discharge valve 2 in the related solution is prone to breed bacteria and produce odor after long-term use.
[0127] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 15 shown, along the height direction of the discharge valve 2, the drain hole 226 is located at the lowest position of the accommodating cavity 229.
[0128] In the embodiment, the drain hole 226 is arranged at the lowest position of the accommodating cavity 229, so that the water in the accommodating cavity 229 can be discharged in time, and the problem that the water cannot be completely discharged and is prone to be residual due to the too high arrangement of the drain hole 226 can be avoided. In addition, the residual waste water in the discharge valve 2 during the cleaning of the discharge valve 2 can be discharged by gravity, so that the overall structure of the discharge valve 2 is relatively simple.
[0129] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figures 1 to 11 shown, the valve base 222 is provided with a through hole 22292 which is in communication with the accommodating cavity 229, and the discharge valve 2 further comprises: a pressing piece 26 movably mounted on the valve base 222, and a part of the pressing piece 26 is located outside the valve base 222, and another part of the pressing piece 26 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 229 through the through hole 22292 and cooperates with the movable assembly 24, the pressing piece 26 can move from the third position to the fourth position, so that the movable assembly 24 moves from the first position to the second position; a reset piece 28 located between the movable assembly 24 and the valve base 222, used for moving the pressing piece 26 from the fourth position back to the third position after the external force on the pressing piece 26 is removed, and simultaneously moving the movable assembly 24 from the second position back to the first position.
[0130] In this embodiment, when it is needed to open the discharge port 124, the movable assembly 24 is pushed by the pressing member 26. Specifically, when the pressing member 26 is pressed, the pressing member 26 can push the movable assembly 24, so that the movable assembly 24 drives the sealing rubber sleeve 244 to move away from the discharge port 124, thereby the sealing of the discharge port 124 can be released. The reset member 28 is arranged between the movable assembly 24 and the valve base 222, and the reset member 28 is used to provide the movable assembly 24 with an elastic force to move towards the discharge port 124. After the movable assembly 24 is pushed by the pressing member 26, the reset member 28 is compressed. When the user stops pressing the pressing member 26, the reset member 28 automatically pushes the movable assembly 24 and the sealing rubber sleeve 244 to move towards the discharge port 124, thereby the function of automatically closing the discharge port 124 can be realized, and the operation of the user is simplified.
[0131] Meanwhile, when the user stops pressing the pressing member 26, the reset member 28 can also push the pressing member 26 back to the third position, i.e. the position before pressing. In this structure, the pressing member 26 and the movable assembly 24 share the same reset member 28, so that the structure of the whole discharge valve 2 is relatively simple. When the discharge port 124 is opened to discharge liquid, the user needs to press the pressing member 26 all the time, so that when the user leaves, the discharge of liquid can be immediately stopped. Because many food processors have a heating function, the temperature of the discharged liquid is relatively high. By setting the structure of continuously pressing the discharge, it can be avoided that the user leaves and the high-temperature liquid burns children and the elderly, so that the design of the discharge valve 2 is safer.
[0132] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 , along the height direction of the discharge valve 2, the through hole 22292 is arranged at the top of the valve seat assembly 22 (specifically the valve base 222). A part of the pressing member 26 extends from the top of the valve base 222.
[0133] In this embodiment, the through hole 22292 is arranged at the bottom of the valve base 222, so that a part of the pressing member 26 can extend from the top of the valve base 222, so that the pressing member 26 can be arranged higher, so that the user can operate the pressing member 26 when standing normally, so that the operation convenience of the discharge valve 2 is improved.
[0134] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figures 1 to 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, the valve seat assembly 22 comprises: a valve base 222, which is provided with a receiving cavity 229 and a first passage 2226, one end of the first passage 2226 forms a discharge port 22262, and a first mounting hole 2224 is arranged on the valve base 222; a valve cover 224, which is detachably mounted on the valve base 222, and the valve cover 224 is provided with a second passage 2242, when the valve cover 224 is mounted on the valve base 222, the other end of the first passage 2226 and the second passage 2242 are in sealed communication to form a discharge passage 220; wherein the valve cover 224 is provided with a first inlet 2244, when the discharge valve 2 is mounted on the cooking container 1, the first inlet 2244 is in sealed communication with the discharge port 124, and a part of the movable assembly 24 is mounted in the receiving cavity 229, and another part of the movable assembly 24 extends out of the receiving cavity 229 through the first mounting hole 2224 and extends out through the first inlet 2244.
[0135] In this embodiment, the valve seat assembly 22 comprises the valve base 222 and the valve cover 224. When installed, the movable assembly 24 and the like can be first mounted on the valve base 222, so that the valve base 222 and the movable assembly 24 and the like are assembled into an assembly (i.e., a valve body 29), and then the valve cover 224 can be mounted on the valve body 29. Among them, the valve base 222 is provided with the first passage 2226, and the valve cover 224 is formed with the second passage 2242, and after the valve base 222 and the valve cover 224 are assembled, the first passage 2226 and the second passage 2242 are in communication to form the discharge passage 220. This kind of discharge valve 2 splits the valve seat assembly 22 along the length direction of the discharge passage 220. When cleaning, the discharge valve 2 can be divided into two parts for cleaning, and each part includes a discharge passage, so that when the discharge valve 2 is divided into two parts for cleaning, the discharge passage on each part is relatively short, so that it is very convenient to clean the valve body 29.
[0136] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the valve base 222 comprises: a support 2228 (the structure of which is as shown in Figure 22 、 Figure 23 、 Figure 24 and Figure 25 , the support 2228 comprises a bottom shell, a side plate and a surrounding plate, the side plate is mounted on one side of the bottom shell, and the surrounding plate is mounted on the bottom shell, and the bottom shell, the surrounding plate and the side plate surround the first passage 2226; a partition member 2220, which is mounted on the surrounding plate and surrounds the movable cavity 2222 with the surrounding plate and the side plate, the first mounting hole 2224 is arranged on the side plate and communicates with the movable cavity 2222, and a part of the movable assembly 24 is located in the movable cavity 2222; an outer shell 2229 (the structure of which is as shown in Figure 18 、 Figure 19 、 Figure 20 and Figure 21As shown in the figure, the bottom shell, the side plate are detachably connected, the outer shell 2229, the bottom shell and the side plate enclose a containing cavity 229, and the baffle and the partition member 2220 are located in the containing cavity 229; wherein, as shown in the figure, Figure 15 and Figure 22 As shown in the figure, the drain hole 226 is arranged on the bottom shell and located outside the movable cavity 2222.
[0137] In this embodiment, the valve base 222 includes a support 2228, an outer shell 2229 and a partition member 2220. The support 2228 is a main supporting component, and the outer shell 2229 is an appearance component. The partition member 2220 is used to enclose the movable cavity 2222 with the baffle and the side plate to accommodate the movable assembly 24. The overall space enclosed by the outer shell 2229 and the support 2228 is a containing cavity 229, and the baffle, the partition member and the movable assembly 24 are located inside the containing cavity 229. The drain hole 226 is arranged on the bottom shell and located outside the movable cavity 2222, which can be in communication with the movable cavity 2222 or the peripheral cavity enclosed by the outer shell 2229, the partition member 2220 and the support 2228. Alternatively, the movable cavity 2222 and the peripheral cavity are simultaneously communicated, so that the residual water inside the entire valve base 222 can be discharged in time, avoiding the breeding of bacteria in the bottom of the valve base 222.
[0138] In this embodiment, a limiting convex rib 22294 is arranged on the outer shell 2229, and a limiting recess and a guide convex rib 22284 are arranged on the support 2228. The outer shell 2229 and the support 2228 can be detachably connected through the cooperation of the limiting convex rib 22294, the limiting recess and the guide convex rib 22284.
[0139] Further, a through hole 22292 is arranged on the outer shell 2229, and the discharge valve 2 further includes a pressing member 26, which is installed on the partition member 2220. A part of the pressing member 26 is located outside the movable cavity 2222 and extends out of the outer shell 2229 through the through hole 22292.
[0140] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in the figures, Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 15 As shown in the figure, the movable assembly 24 includes a sliding member 242, one part of which is installed in the containing cavity 229, and the other part of which extends out of the containing cavity 229 through the first mounting hole 2224 and can slide along the axis of the first mounting hole 2224 (consistent with the horizontal direction) relative to the valve seat assembly 22; a sealing rubber sleeve 244, one end of which is sleeved on the end of the sliding member 242 located outside the containing cavity 229, and the other end of which is connected with the inner wall of the containing cavity 229, used to seal the gap between the sliding member 242 and the inner wall of the first mounting hole 2224.
[0141] In this embodiment, the movable assembly 24 comprises a sliding member 242 arranged in a sliding manner. The opening and closing of the discharge port 124 can be achieved by the movement of the sliding member 242. The sealing rubber sleeve 244 is used to seal the gap between the sliding member 242 and the valve cover 224, so as to prevent the juice outside the valve cover 224 from entering the valve cover 224 through the first mounting hole 2224.
[0142] In this embodiment, the first mounting hole 2224 is arranged in the axial direction of the valve body 29, and the axial direction of the first mounting hole 2224 is consistent with the horizontal direction, so that the valve cover 224 can be detachably mounted on the valve body 29 along the axial direction of the first mounting hole 2224.
[0143] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the sealing rubber sleeve 244 comprises a first sealing portion arranged on the first end of the sliding member 242 outside the accommodating cavity 229, used to seal the discharge port 124 together with the sliding member 242 when the movable assembly 24 is in the first position; a second sealing portion connected between the sliding member 242 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 229, used to seal the gap between the sliding member 242 and the inner wall of the first mounting hole 2224; and a folding portion connected between the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion, capable of unfolding or folding along with the sliding movement of the sliding member 242.
[0144] In this embodiment, the sealing rubber sleeve 244 comprises a first sealing portion, a second sealing portion and a folding portion. The second sealing portion is used to seal the gap between the sliding member 242 and the first mounting hole 2224, so as to prevent the juice outside the valve base 222 from entering the valve base 222 through the first mounting hole 2224, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the discharge valve 2 and avoiding the long-term retention of slurry in the discharge valve 2. The first sealing portion is arranged on the first end of the sliding member 242, so as to enhance the elasticity and softness of the first end of the sliding member 242. The elastic deformation of the first sealing portion can make the sealing rubber sleeve 244 tightly fit the inner wall of the discharge port 124, thereby improving the sealing effect of the discharge port 124 and preventing the slurry from overflowing. The folding portion is used to stretch or contract along with the sliding member 242 during the stretching and contracting movement of the sliding member 242, so that the sliding member 242 can normally stretch and contract without interfering with the sealing rubber sleeve 244. After the first sealing portion is fixed to the sliding member 242, the sealing rubber sleeve 244 can stretch or contract along with the sliding member 242, so that the sealing of the sliding member 242 is achieved by the deformation of the sealing rubber sleeve 244. In this structure, the second sealing portion and the valve base 222 belong to static sealing, and therefore, the sealing between the sliding member 242 and the valve base 222 is ensured by the static sealing of the elastic rubber sleeve, so that the sliding sealing between the sliding member 242 and the valve base 222 is not needed, thereby not only ensuring the sealing effect, but also simplifying the structure of the movable assembly 24.
[0145] In one possible application, the fold comprises a plurality of fold segments, and a crease is arranged between two adjacent fold segments.

[0147] The food processor according to the embodiment of the utility model, since it includes the discharge valve 2 of any one of the first aspect embodiment proposed, therefore, the food processor includes the all beneficial effects of the discharge valve 2 of any one of the first aspect embodiment proposed, not repeated here.
[0148] Optionally, as Figure 36 and Figure 37 illustrated, the discharge valve 2 is detachably installed on cooking container 1.
[0149] In the embodiments, the discharge valve 2 can be detached for separate cleaning, which facilitates the convenience of cleaning the discharge valve 2.Moreover, when the discharge valve 2 is damaged, the discharge valve 2 can be replaced separately, which reduces the maintenance cost of the food processor.
[0150] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, a rotating snap-fit structure is arranged between the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1, and the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 are detachably connected through the rotating snap-fit structure.
[0151] In the embodiment, the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 can be detachably connected through the buckle, which makes the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 easier to disassemble, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the discharge valve 2.In a specific embodiment, the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 can be rotatably snap-fitted through the rotating snap-fit structure, which makes the detachable structure between the two relatively simple.
[0152] Among them, as Figure 35 , Figure 36 , Figure 37As shown, the rotating buckle structure includes a rotating groove 18, a rotating convex rib 20 and a positioning protrusion. One of the rotating groove 18 and the rotating convex rib 20 is arranged on the food container 1, and the other of the rotating groove 18 and the rotating convex rib 20 is arranged on the discharge valve 2. Meanwhile, the food container 1 and the discharge valve 2 are respectively provided with a positioning protrusion and a positioning groove. After the food container 1 and the discharge valve 2 are rotated into place through the rotating groove 18 and the rotating convex rib 20, the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are locked and buckled.
[0153] In addition, the discharge valve 2 and the food container 1 can also be slidably buckled through a sliding buckle structure, so as to achieve detachable connection.
[0154] In a specific embodiment, the other of the discharge valve 2 and the food container 1 is provided with a plug-in hole, a plug-in part and a plug-in hole; one of the plug-in part and the plug-in hole is provided with a sliding groove and a first buckle, and the other of the plug-in part and the plug-in hole is provided with a second buckle; when the second buckle and the sliding groove are aligned, the plug-in part can be inserted into the plug-in hole, and after the plug-in part is inserted into the plug-in hole, the plug-in part is rotated, so as to enable the first buckle and the second buckle to be buckled with each other. This kind of structure enables the discharge valve 2 and the food container 1 to be first plugged in, and then rotated and buckled.
[0155] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 33 and Figure 34 , the food processor further comprises: an agitating member 16 connected with the food container 1 and rotatably installed in the food container 1; and a base assembly 3 including a driving assembly 32, wherein when the food container 1 is placed and installed on the base assembly 3, the driving assembly 32 is connected with the agitating member 16 and can drive the agitating member 16 to rotate.
[0156] In this embodiment, the food processor includes a base assembly 3 and a cup assembly. The food container 1, the discharge valve 2 and the like are assembled into the cup assembly. As shown in Figure 33 and Figure 34 , the cup assembly is detachably installed on the base assembly 3. The base assembly 3 includes a driving assembly 32, wherein when the cup assembly is installed on the base assembly 3, the driving assembly 32 is connected with the agitating member 16 and can drive the agitating member 16 to rotate. The agitating member 16 can agitate the food material in the blending cup 12, so as to obtain food material slurry.
[0157] The base assembly 3 is mainly used for providing power supply for the cup assembly and supporting and installing the cup assembly.
[0158] In a possible application, the food processor can be a stock machine, a juicer, a blender, a soybean milk machine and the like.
[0159] In the following, the food processor in the present application will be further introduced by taking the blender as an example.
[0160] The existing wall-breaking machine product, considering the safety problem, the crushing cup is generally made of glass with a thickness of more than 6 mm, and the weight is relatively large; especially the large-capacity product of more than 1.5L, after being filled with liquid, the weight increases, and the user with poor physical strength cannot lift the crushing cup to pour out the liquid, and the user experience is poor.
[0161] The related scheme proposes a wall-breaking machine with a crushing cup bottom with a slurry discharge valve, which can be simply operated to detach the slurry discharge valve, and then divided into two parts, and the user can flush the slurry discharge pipeline; but the sealing of the slurry discharge pipeline is complex, and if the user ignores the identification, misoperation is easy to occur, and the use experience is not good.
[0162] The present embodiment proposes a slurry discharge valve, which has no slurry discharge pipeline, and after the slurry discharge is completed, the slurry discharge valve can be taken out and divided into two parts, which is convenient for disassembly and sealing, and can be washed more comprehensively. The slurry discharge valve of the wall-breaking machine can be equivalent to replace the existing wall-breaking machine silicone pipeline in principle.
[0163] 1. The slurry discharge valve has no pipeline design, and two structural members form a cavity, which replaces the original slurry discharge pipeline;
[0164] 2. The slurry discharge valve is sealed between the two structural members by a sealing member;
[0165] 3. By separating the slurry discharge valve, the slurry discharge cavity and the sealing silicone member can be completely exposed, which is convenient for the user to clean without dead angle.
[0166] Specifically, as shown in Figure 26 and Figure 27 , the slurry discharge valve at least includes a slurry discharge valve detachment piece (second seat body 224). The slurry discharge valve detachment piece is separated from the slurry discharge valve by sliding out to the left and right, and the separation method includes but is not limited to the sliding out method, such as, it can also be a left and right flipping method, as long as the slurry discharge cavity can be formed, which is within the protection scope of the present application. After the slurry discharge valve detachment piece is separated from the slurry discharge valve, the slurry discharge channel is exposed, which is convenient for the user to flush. The slurry discharge valve detachment piece is installed on the slurry discharge valve main body to form a slurry discharge valve, and the slurry discharge channel is closed.
[0167] As shown in Figures 25 to 32 , the slurry discharge valve detachment piece (i.e. the second seat body 224) and the slurry discharge valve main body (valve main body 29) have a sealing member 228 at the connection, which can effectively prevent the liquid in the slurry discharge channel from overflowing. The specific sealing method includes but is not limited to the planar sealing shown in the figure, and can also be radial sealing, as long as the slurry discharge detachment piece and the slurry discharge main body are sealed by the sealing member, which is within the protection scope of the present application.
[0168] 4, as Figure 28 and Figure 29The seal 228 is installed in the sealing groove 22282 of the slurry discharge valve body to prevent the seal 228 from falling off. The seal 228 can also be installed on the slurry discharge valve removal part.
[0169] 5. For example Figures 36 to 37 As shown, the slurry discharge valve is installed with the whole machine by rotation positioning. By similar means, as long as the slurry discharge valve is connected to the whole machine, it is within the protection scope of this solution.
[0170] In some embodiments, the food processor may optionally include: a drive unit connected to the food container 1; and a limiting unit connected to the food container 1. The drive unit is used to drive the limiting unit to move between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the limiting unit is in the locked position, the limiting unit restricts the discharge valve 2 from separating from the food container 1. When the limiting unit is in the unlocked position, the limiting unit releases the lock on the discharge valve 2.
[0171] In this embodiment, a limiting part is disposed on the food processing container 1, and the limiting part can move between a locked position and an unlocked position. A driving part is installed on the food processor, and the limiting part is connected to the driving part. The driving part is used to drive the limiting part to move relative to the food processing container 1. When the limiting part is in the locked position, the limiting part is connected to the discharge valve 2, and the limiting part is used to restrict the movement of the discharge valve 2 relative to the food processing container 1, thereby fixing the discharge valve 2 and ensuring that the discharge valve 2 is stably fixed on the food processing container 1. When the limiting part moves to the unlocked position, the limiting part separates from the discharge valve 2, thereby releasing the limiting of the discharge valve 2. At this time, the discharge valve 2 can be separated from the food processing container 1, so as to facilitate the separate cleaning of the discharge valve 2. Fixing the discharge valve 2 by the limiting part makes the installation of the discharge valve 2 simple and the disassembly convenient, thereby improving the user's convenience in using the food processor.
[0172] In some embodiments, the drive unit may optionally include: a pusher slidably connected to the cooking container 1, the pusher being used to push the limiting part to move from the locked position to the unlocked position; and an elastic member located between the limiting part and the cooking container 1, the elastic member being used to return the limiting part to the locked position when the limiting part moves from the locked position to the unlocked position.
[0173] When it is necessary to release the locking of the limiting part on the discharge valve 2, the limiting part is pushed by the pusher. Specifically, when the pusher is pressed, the pusher can push the limiting part, causing the limiting part to move from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby allowing the discharge valve 2 to be disassembled.
[0174] An elastic member is arranged between the limiting part and the cooking container 1, and is used to provide elastic force to the limiting part to move to the locking position. The pressing member can push the limiting part to move to the unlocking position, and at this time, the elastic member is compressed. When the user stops pressing the pressing member, the elastic member automatically pushes the limiting part to move to the locking position. When the discharge valve 2 is installed, the user first drives the limiting part to move to the unlocking position through the pressing member, so as to avoid the limiting part from hindering the installation of the discharge valve 2. When the discharge valve 2 is installed in place, the user stops pressing the pressing member, and the limiting part is automatically moved to the locking position under the driving of the elastic member, so as to lock the discharge valve 2, which is beneficial to simplify the operation of the user.
[0175] In some embodiments, optionally, the discharge valve 2 is provided with a plug-in groove, and the limiting part is plugged into the plug-in groove when the limiting part is in the locking position.
[0176] The plug-in groove is arranged on the discharge valve 2, and the limiting part is plugged into the plug-in groove when the limiting part is in the locking position. At this time, the limiting part limits the movement of the discharge valve 2 relative to the cooking container 1, so as to limit the discharge valve 2. When the limiting part moves to the unlocking position, the limiting part extends out of the plug-in groove, and at this time, the limiting part releases the limitation on the discharge valve 2, so that the discharge valve 2 can move relative to the cooking container 1.
[0177] In a possible application, the plug-in groove is arranged on the valve base 222.
[0178] In some embodiments, optionally, one of the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 is provided with a sliding groove, and the other is provided with a sliding part, and the sliding part is slidingly connected to the sliding groove.
[0179] The sliding part and the sliding groove are arranged on the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1. When the discharge valve 2 is installed, the sliding part moves relative to the sliding groove, and the sliding part and the sliding groove cooperate with each other, which is beneficial to install the discharge valve 2 in place. In addition, the sliding groove limits the sliding part, which is beneficial to further improve the installation stability of the discharge valve 2.
[0180] In some embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the cooking container 1 comprises: a stirring cup 12, the stirring cup 12 is provided with a discharge port 124; a handle 14 connected to the stirring cup 12, a first side of the handle 14 is close to a bottom wall of the stirring cup 12, and the discharge valve 2 is located on the first side of the handle 14.
[0181] In the embodiments, the handle 14 is arranged at the side of the stirring cup 12, the first side of the handle 14 is close to the bottom wall of the stirring cup 12, that is, the first side of the handle 14 is the bottom of the handle 14, and the discharge valve 2 is arranged at the bottom of the handle 14, so that the space at the bottom of the handle 14 is fully utilized, and the user is prevented from bumping the discharge valve 2 when using the food container 1, thereby improving the user's comfort in using the food processor.
[0182] Arranging the discharge valve 2 at the bottom of the handle 14 can also prevent the discharge valve 2 from occupying the space in the radial direction of the stirring cup 12, thereby facilitating the user to store the food container 1.
[0183] In a possible application, the side wall of the discharge valve 2 is flush with the side wall of the handle 14.
[0184] A specific structure of the wall-breaking machine is introduced below.
[0185] The wall-breaking machine is composed of a crushing cup assembly and a base assembly, and the base assembly is provided with a stirring motor; the crushing cup assembly is arranged on the base assembly and can be lifted to add or pour liquid.
[0186] As shown in Figure 35 , Figure 37 , the discharge valve is connected with the rotating groove (equivalent to the rotating convex rib 20) of the crushing cup body through the rotating convex groove (equivalent to the rotating convex rib 20) of the discharge valve and the rotating groove (equivalent to the rotating groove 18) of the crushing cup body, and the rotating convex groove of the discharge valve and the rotating groove of the crushing cup body are both provided with positioning points to limit the installation; meanwhile, the discharge valve is connected with the bottom disc discharge port through the sealing push rod, and the push rod is provided with a push rod silica gel, which is a telescopic and deformable structure and does not need to be sealed by sliding, and has good sealing effect.
[0187] When the program of the wall-breaking machine ends and the crushing cup assembly contains liquid, the crushing cup assembly does not need to be lifted, and only needs to be pressed to move the sealing push rod to the right, so that the bottom disc discharge port is opened, the liquid is discharged through the discharge pipe, the discharge button is released, the sealing push rod is moved under the action of the reset spring, the bottom disc discharge port is closed, and the discharge is stopped.
[0188] When the discharge valve needs to be cleaned, the crushing cup assembly is lifted as shown in Figure 33 and Figure 34 , then the discharge valve can be separated from the crushing cup assembly (as shown in Figure 37 ) by rotating the discharge valve, the discharge valve dismounting piece is slid out (as shown in Figure 26 and Figure 27 ), and the dismounting piece can be separated from the discharge valve, the discharge channel and the push rod silica gel are completely exposed, and can be washed, hand-washed or placed in a dishwasher for cleaning, etc.
[0189] After the discharge valve is cleaned, the left and right parts of the discharge valve can be installed together through the chute, and then rotated and installed on the crushing cup assembly for next use. The discharge valve and the crushing cup main body are coaxially connected through rotation, which can ensure the coaxiality of the seal push rod and the discharge port after the detachable valve is installed.
