The discharge channel is used for discharging material. Wherein, the movable assembly can act between the first position and the second position, and when the movable assembly is in the first position, the discharge channel and the discharge port are communicated to open the discharge port, and at this time, the slurry in the cooking cavity can enter the discharge channel through the discharge port, and then is 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 can be blocked to close the discharge port, so that the discharge port can be opened or closed through the discharge valve, and the discharge port can be opened or closed according to the user's demand.
[0009] Meanwhile, the discharge channel and the containing cavity are separated from each other, so that the discharge channel can be flushed, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning the discharge valve. The valve seat assembly is provided with a drain hole, and the drain hole is communicated with the containing cavity to form a drain channel independent of the discharge channel. The drain channel is not specially provided, but is formed by the gap between the valve seat assembly and the containing cavity, the gap between the parts inside the containing cavity and the discharge port. In the process of cleaning the discharge valve, the water used for flushing the discharge channel is discharged from the discharge channel. In this process, if the water enters the containing cavity through the button gap, assembly gap and the like of the discharge valve, the water in the containing cavity can be discharged in time through the drain channel formed by the drain hole and the containing cavity in communication, so that the residual cleaning wastewater in the discharge valve can be avoided, the hygiene of the discharge valve after long-term use is ensured, and the problem that bacteria breed and odor is generated in the discharge valve after long-term use in the related scheme is solved.
[0010] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, along the height direction of the discharge valve, the drain hole is located at the lowest position of the containing cavity.
[0011] In this embodiment, the drain hole is arranged at the lowest position of the containing cavity, so that the water in the containing cavity can be discharged in time, and the problem that the water cannot be completely discharged and is easily left over due to the high arrangement of the drain hole can be avoided.

[0012] Optionally, in any of the above embodiments, the valve seat assembly is provided with a through hole in communication with the accommodating cavity, the discharge valve further comprises a pressing member movably mounted on the valve seat assembly, and a portion of the pressing member is located outside the valve seat assembly, another portion of the pressing member is inserted into the accommodating cavity through the through hole and cooperates with the movable assembly, the pressing member is capable of moving from the third position to the fourth position to move the movable assembly from the first position to the second position, and a reset member is located between the movable assembly and the valve seat assembly to move the pressing member from the fourth position back to the third position and move the movable assembly from the second position back to the first position after the external force on the pressing member is removed.
[0013] 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 to move the sealing rubber sleeve away from the discharge port, so as to remove the sealing of the discharge port. The reset member is arranged between the movable assembly and the valve seat assembly, and the reset member 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, so as to realize the function of automatically closing the discharge port and simplify the operation of the user.
[0014] Meanwhile, 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 to discharge liquid, the user needs to press the pressing member all the time, so that the user can immediately stop discharging liquid when the user leaves. Because many food processors have 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 is scalded by the high-temperature liquid after leaving. Therefore, the design of the discharge valve is safer.

[0028] 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 for accommodating the movable assembly. The overall space surrounded by the outer shell and the support is a containing cavity, and the surrounding plate, the partition member and the movable assembly are located inside the containing 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.

[0031] In this embodiment, the movable assembly comprises a slidingly arranged sliding member. The opening and closing of the discharge port can be realized through 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 the valve cover through the first mounting hole.
[0032] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the sealing rubber sleeve comprises a first sealing portion, which is sleeved on the end of the sliding member that extends out of the accommodating cavity, for sealing the discharge port together with the sliding member when the movable assembly is in the first position; a second sealing portion, 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 portion, which is connected between the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion, and is capable of unfolding or folding along with the sliding of the sliding member.
[0033] In this technical solution, the sealing rubber sleeve comprises a first sealing portion, a second sealing portion and a folding portion, wherein the second sealing portion is used to seal the gap between the sliding member and the first mounting hole, so as to ensure that the juice outside the valve base cannot enter the valve base through the first mounting hole, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the discharge valve and avoiding long-term retention of slurry in the discharge valve. The first sealing portion is sleeved on the first end of the sliding member, so as to enhance the elasticity and softness of the first end of the sliding member. In this way, the elastic deformation of the first sealing portion can make the sealing rubber sleeve tightly fit the inner wall of the discharge port, thereby improving the sealing effect of the discharge port and preventing slurry from overflowing. The folding portion is used to stretch and contract along with the sliding member during the stretching and contracting movement of the sliding member, so that the sliding member can normally stretch and contract without interfering with the sealing rubber sleeve.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0104] In order to enable the above object, features and advantages of the present utility model to be more clearly understood, further detailed description will be made to the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0105] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present utility model, however, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0106] The following refers to Figures 1 to 37 The discharging valve and the food processor provided according to some embodiments of the present utility model are described.
[0107] As Figures 1 to 37 shown, the embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model proposes a discharging valve 2 for a food processor, the food processor comprising a cooking container 1, the cooking container 1 being provided with a cooking cavity 122 and a discharging port 124, the discharging port 124 being in communication with the cooking cavity 122. The structure of the discharging valve 2 is as Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 15 、 Figure 16 、 Figure 17The discharge valve 2 comprises a valve seat assembly 22, a containing cavity 229 and a discharge channel 220 are arranged in the valve seat assembly 22 and are separated from each other, a first mounting hole 2224 is arranged on the valve seat assembly 22 and communicates with the containing cavity 229; a movable assembly 24, a part of the movable assembly 24 is arranged 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, the movable assembly 24 can move between a first position and a second position, when the movable assembly 24 is located at the first position, the movable assembly 24 can seal the discharge port 124 to block the communication between the discharge channel 220 and the discharge port 124, when the movable assembly 24 is located at the second position, the movable assembly 24 can open the discharge port 124 to make the discharge channel 220 and the discharge port 124 communicate; wherein a drain hole 226 is arranged on the valve seat assembly 22, the drain hole 226 communicates with the containing cavity 229 to form a drain channel which is independent of the discharge channel 220.
[0108] The discharge valve 2 is used for a food processor, and the food processor comprises a food container 1 and the discharge valve 2. The food container 1 is provided with a food cavity 122, and food materials are placed in the food cavity 122, and slurry obtained after the food materials are processed can be discharged from the food cavity 122 through a discharge port 124. The discharge valve 2 is arranged on the food container 1. The discharge valve 2 comprises a valve seat and a movable assembly 24. The valve seat assembly 22 is provided with a containing cavity 229 and a discharge channel 220 which are separated from each other, and a part of the movable assembly 24 is arranged in the containing cavity 229 and another part of the movable assembly 24 is located outside the containing cavity 229 and is used for opening and closing the discharge port 124. The discharge channel 220 is used for discharging materials. The movable assembly 24 can move between a first position and a second position, when the movable assembly 24 is located at the first position, the movable assembly 24 can make the discharge channel 220 and the discharge port 124 communicate to open the discharge port 124, at this time, the slurry in the food cavity 122 can enter the discharge channel 220 through the discharge port 124 and then be discharged from an outlet (namely a discharge port 22262) of the discharge channel 220. When the movable assembly 24 is located at the second position, the movable assembly 24 can block the communication between the discharge channel 220 and the discharge port 124 to close the discharge port 124, so that the discharge valve 2 can open or close the discharge port 124, and the discharge port 124 can be opened or closed according to the needs of a user.
[0109] Meanwhile, the discharge channel 220 and the accommodating 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. The valve seat assembly 22 is provided with a drain hole 226, which is in communication with the accommodating cavity 229 to form a drain channel independent of the discharge channel 220. Here, the drain channel is not specially provided, but is formed by the gap between the valve seat assembly 22 and the accommodating cavity 229, the gap between the parts inside the accommodating cavity 229, and the discharge port. In the process of cleaning the discharge valve 2, the water used to flush the discharge channel 220 is discharged from the discharge channel. In this process, if water enters the accommodating cavity 229 through the button gap, assembly gap, etc. of the discharge valve 2, the water entering the accommodating cavity 229 can be discharged in time through the drain hole 226, so as to avoid the residual cleaning wastewater in the discharge valve 2, ensure the hygiene of the discharge valve 2 after long-term use, and solve the problem of bacteria breeding and odor generation in the discharge valve 2 after long-term use in the related solutions.
[0110] Here, the discharge path of the discharge channel 220 and the drain path in the drain channel are indicated by arrows in Figure 7 and Figure 15 . As can be seen from Figure 7 and Figure 15 , the drain channel and the discharge channel 220 are completely independent and not in communication with each other.
[0111] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 15 , the drain hole 226 is located at the lowest position of the accommodating cavity 229 in the height direction of the discharge valve 2.
[0112] In this 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 drained in time, avoiding the problem that the water cannot be completely drained and is easily left over due to the drain hole 226 being arranged too high. In addition, this arrangement can also drain the residual wastewater inside the discharge valve 2 during cleaning by gravity, so that the overall structure of the discharge valve 2 is relatively simple.
[0113] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figures 1 to 11As shown, the valve seat assembly 22 is provided with a through hole 22292 communicating with the accommodating cavity 229, and the discharge valve 2 further comprises a pressing member 26 movably mounted on the valve seat assembly 22, and a portion of the pressing member 26 is located outside the valve seat assembly 22, and another portion of the pressing member 26 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 229 through the through hole 22292 and cooperates with the movable assembly 24, the pressing member 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; and a reset member 28 located between the movable assembly 24 and the valve seat assembly 22, for moving the pressing member 26 from the fourth position back to the third position after the external force on the pressing member 26 is removed, and simultaneously moving the movable assembly 24 from the second position back to the first position.
[0114] 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 seat assembly 22, 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.
[0115] 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 entire 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 discharging of liquid is immediately stopped. Because many food processors have heating function, the temperature of the discharged liquid is relatively high, by setting the structure of continuously pressing the discharging of liquid, 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.
[0116] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in 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. A portion of the pressing member 26 extends from the top of the valve seat assembly 22.
[0117] In this embodiment, the through hole 22292 is arranged at the bottom of the valve seat assembly 22, so that a part of the pressing member 26 can extend out of the top of the valve seat assembly 22, and thus the pressing member 26 can be arranged higher, so that the user can operate the pressing member 26 when standing normally, and thus the operation convenience of the discharge valve 2 is improved.
[0118] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 15 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 , the valve seat assembly 22 comprises: a valve base 222, the valve base 222 is provided with a receiving cavity 229 and a first channel 2226, one end of the first channel 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 channel 2242, when the valve cover 224 is mounted on the valve base 222, the other end of the first channel 2226 and the second channel 2242 are in sealed communication to form a discharge channel 220; wherein the valve cover 224 is provided with a feeding hole 2244, when the discharge valve 2 is mounted on the cooking container 1, the feeding hole 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 of the feeding hole 2244.
[0119] In this embodiment, the valve seat assembly 22 comprises a valve base 222 and a 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 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 in communication to form a discharge channel 220. This kind of discharge valve 2 splits the valve seat assembly 22 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, so that when the discharge valve 2 is divided into two parts for cleaning, the discharge channel on each part is relatively short, so that it is very convenient to clean the valve body 29.
[0120] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figure 26 、 Figure 27 、 Figure 28 and Figure 29As shown, the discharge valve 2 comprises a valve body 29, which comprises a valve base 222 and a movable assembly 24, and a valve cover 224 which is detachable relative to the valve body 29.
[0121] In this embodiment, the discharge valve 2 can be divided into two parts, one part is the valve body 29, which comprises the valve base 222, the movable assembly 24 and the pressing member 26, etc. The other part is the valve cover 224. With this structure, 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, so that the valve body 29 can be cleaned more conveniently.
[0122] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, as shown in 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.
[0123] In this embodiment, part of the channel on the valve cover 224 extends into the second channel 2242, so that the first channel 2226 and the second channel 2242 are connected with better sealing effect, so that the sealing effect between the valve cover 224 and the valve base 222 can be improved, and leakage of slurry from the connection between the valve base 222 and the valve cover 224 can be avoided.
[0124] 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.
[0125] The guide portion 2246 is provided with an inclined guide surface, which gradually decreases in the position of the height direction of the discharge valve 2 from the inlet to the outlet of the second channel 2242.
[0126] Optionally, as shown in Figure 28 The valve seat assembly 22 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.
[0127] In this embodiment, the sealing member 228 can ensure the sealing effect between the valve base 222 and the valve cover 224 after assembly, so as to avoid leakage of slurry from the connection between the valve base 222 and the valve cover 224. In design, as shown in Figure 29As shown, a sealing groove 22282 is provided on the valve base 222 or valve cover 224, and the sealing element 228 is installed in the sealing groove 22282, thereby ensuring the reliability of the installation of the sealing element 228 on the valve base 222 or valve cover 224.
[0128] The specific structure of the seal 228 is as follows: Figure 30 , Figure 31 , Figure 32 As shown.
[0129] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, the valve base 222 includes: a support 2228 (the structure of which is as follows) Figure 22 , Figure 23 , Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown), the support 2228 includes a bottom shell, a side plate, and a surrounding plate. The side plate is installed on one side of the bottom shell, and the surrounding plate is installed on the bottom shell, forming a first channel 2226 together with the bottom shell and the surrounding plate. A partition 2220 is installed on the surrounding plate, forming a movable cavity 2222 together with the surrounding plate and the side plate. A first mounting hole 2224 is provided on the side plate and communicates with the movable cavity 2222. A part of the movable component 24 is located inside the movable cavity 2222. The outer shell 2229 (whose structure is as shown) Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown), it is detachably connected to the bottom shell and side plates. The outer shell 2229, the bottom shell, and the side plates form a receiving cavity 229, and the surrounding plates and partitions 2220 are located within the receiving cavity 229; wherein, as Figure 22 As shown, the drain hole 226 is located on the bottom shell, outside the movable cavity 2222.
[0130] In this embodiment, the valve base 222 includes a support 2228, a housing 2229, and a partition 2220. The support 2228 is the main supporting component, and the housing 2229 is the exterior component. The partition 2220, together with the surrounding plate and side plate, forms a movable cavity 2222 to accommodate and install the movable component 24. The overall space enclosed by the housing 2229 and the support 2228 is the receiving cavity 229, and the surrounding plate, partition, and movable component 24 are located inside the receiving cavity 229. A drain hole 226 is provided on the bottom shell outside the movable cavity 2222, and can communicate with the movable cavity 2222 or with the outer perimeter cavity enclosed by the housing 2229, partition 2220, and support 2228. Alternatively, it can communicate with both the movable cavity 2222 and the outer perimeter cavity simultaneously, thereby allowing residual water inside the entire valve base 222 to be drained in a timely manner, preventing water residue at the bottom of the valve base 222 from breeding bacteria.
[0131] The outer shell 2229 is provided with a limiting protrusion 22294, and the support 2228 is provided with a limiting groove and a guiding protrusion 22284. The outer shell 2229 and the support 2228 can be detachably connected through cooperation of the limiting protrusion 22294, the limiting groove and the guiding protrusion 22284.
[0132] Further, the outer shell 2229 is provided with a through hole 22292, and the discharging valve 2 further comprises a pressing piece 26, which is installed on the partition piece 2220 and has a part extending out of the outer shell 2229 through the through hole 22292.
[0133] In any of the above embodiments, the movable assembly 24 can optionally comprise: Figure 7 and Figure 15 As shown in the above embodiments, the movable assembly 24 comprises a sliding piece 242, one end of which is installed in the accommodating cavity 229, and the other end of which extends out of the accommodating cavity 229 through the first mounting hole 2224 and can slide along the axis of the first mounting hole 2224 relative to the valve seat assembly 22; and a sealing rubber sleeve 244, one end of which is sleeved on the end of the sliding piece 242 extending out of the accommodating cavity 229, and the other end of which is connected with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 229, for sealing the gap between the sliding piece 242 and the inner wall of the first mounting hole 2224.
[0134] In this embodiment, the movable assembly 24 comprises a slidingly arranged sliding piece 242. The opening and closing of the discharging port 124 can be realized through the movement of the sliding piece 242. The sealing rubber sleeve 244 is used to seal the gap between the sliding piece 242 and the valve cover 224, so as to prevent the juice outside the valve cover 224 from entering into the valve cover 224 through the first mounting hole 2224.
[0135] In any of the above embodiments, the sealing rubber sleeve 244 can optionally comprise a first sealing part, which is sleeved on the end of the sliding piece 242 extending out of the accommodating cavity 229, for sealing the discharging port 124 together with the sliding piece 242 when the movable assembly 24 is located at the first position; a second sealing part, which is connected between the sliding piece 242 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 229, for sealing the gap between the sliding piece 242 and the inner wall of the first mounting hole 2224; and a folding part, which is connected between the first sealing part and the second sealing part and can be unfolded or folded along with the sliding of the sliding piece 242.
[0136] In this embodiment, the sealing sleeve 244 comprises a first sealing portion, a second sealing portion and a folding portion, wherein the second sealing portion is used to seal the gap between the sliding member 242 and the first mounting hole 2224, so as to ensure that the juice outside the valve base 222 cannot enter into the valve base 222 through the first mounting hole 2224, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the discharge valve 2 and avoiding that the slurry is left in the discharge valve 2 for a long time. 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, so that the elastic deformation of the first sealing portion can make the sealing sleeve 244 tightly fit with the inner wall of the discharge port 124, thereby improving the sealing effect of the discharge port 124 and avoiding the overflow of the slurry. The folding portion is used to stretch and contract along with the sliding member 242 when the sliding member 242 stretches and contracts, so that the sliding member 242 can normally stretch and contract without interfering with the sealing sleeve 244. After the first sealing portion is fixed to the sliding member 242, the sealing sleeve 244 can stretch or shorten along with the sliding member 242, so that the sealing of the sliding member 242 is realized through the deformation of the sealing sleeve 244. The second sealing portion and the valve base 222 belong to static sealing, and therefore, the elastic sleeve is used for static sealing to ensure the sealing between the sliding member 242 and the valve base 222, so that the sliding sealing between the sliding member 242 and the valve base 222 is not needed, thereby ensuring the sealing effect and simplifying the structure of the whole movable assembly 24.
[0137] In a possible application, the folding portion comprises a plurality of folding segments, and a fold line is arranged between adjacent two folding segments.

[0143] In the embodiment, the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 can be detachably connected through buckling, thereby making the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 easier to disassemble, and thus facilitating the cleaning of the discharge valve 2. In a specific embodiment, the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 can be rotationally buckled through a rotating buckle structure, which makes the detachable structure between the two relatively simple.
[0144] In any of the above embodiments, optionally, a sliding buckle 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 sliding buckle structure. This structure makes the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 detachably connected through sliding.
[0145] In the embodiments, the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 can be detachably connected through buckling, thereby making the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 easier to disassemble, and thus facilitating the cleaning of the discharge valve 2. In a specific embodiment, the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 can be rotationally buckled through a rotating buckle structure, which makes the detachable structure between the two relatively simple. Figure 35 、 Figure 36 、 Figure 37 As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the rotating buckle structure includes a rotating groove 18, a rotating protrusion 20, and a positioning protrusion. One of the rotating groove 18 and the rotating protrusion 20 is arranged on the cooking container 1, and the other of the rotating groove 18 and the rotating protrusion 20 is arranged on the discharge valve 2. Meanwhile, the cooking container 1 and the discharge valve 2 are respectively provided with a positioning protrusion and a positioning groove. After the cooking container 1 and the discharge valve 2 are rotated into place through the rotating groove 18 and the rotating protrusion 20, the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are locked and buckled.
[0146] In a specific embodiment, the other of the discharge valve 2 and the cooking 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 to enable the first buckle and the second buckle to be buckled with each other. This structure enables the discharge valve 2 and the cooking container 1 to be first plugged in and then rotationally buckled.
[0147] In some embodiments, the food processor further comprises: a driving part connected with the food container 1; and a limiting part connected with the food container 1, 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 2 from being separated from the food container 1 when the limiting part is in the locking position, and the limiting part being configured to release the locking of the discharging valve 2 when the limiting part is in the unlocking position.
[0148] In this embodiment, the limiting part is arranged on the food container 1 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, the driving part being configured to drive the limiting part to move relative to the food container 1. When the limiting part is in the locking position, the limiting part is connected with the discharging valve 2 and is configured to limit the discharging valve 2 from moving relative to the food container 1, thereby achieving the fixation of the discharging valve 2 and ensuring that the discharging valve 2 is stably fixed to the food container 1. When the limiting part moves to the unlocking position, the limiting part is separated from the discharging valve 2, thereby releasing the limiting of the discharging valve 2, and the discharging valve 2 can be separated from the food container 1 to facilitate the separate cleaning of the discharging valve 2. The fixation of the discharging valve 2 by the limiting part makes the installation of the discharging valve 2 simple and convenient to disassemble, thereby facilitating the improvement of the user's convenience in using the food processor.
[0149] In some embodiments, the driving part comprises: a pressing member slidingly connected with the food container 1, 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 1, 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.
[0150] When it is necessary to release the locking of the discharging valve 2 by the limiting part, 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 enabling the discharging valve 2 to be disassembled.
[0151] The elastic member is arranged between the limiting part and the food container 1 and is configured to provide the limiting part with an elastic force 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 discharging valve 2 is installed, the user first drives the limiting part to move to the unlocking position by the pressing member, thereby avoiding the limiting part from hindering the installation of the discharging valve 2.

[0175] When the program of the wall breaking machine is finished, the crushing cup assembly contains liquid, at this time, the liquid can be poured out without lifting the crushing cup assembly, and only the pulp discharge button needs to be pressed to drive the sealing push rod to move to the right, so that the bottom disc pulp discharge port is opened, and the liquid is discharged through the pulp discharge pipe; the pulp discharge button is released, and the sealing push rod moves under the action of the reset spring, so that the bottom disc pulp discharge port is closed, and the pulp discharge is stopped.
[0176] When the pulp discharge valve needs to be cleaned, the crushing cup assembly is lifted first, and then the pulp discharge valve can be separated from the crushing cup assembly by rotating the pulp discharge valve, and the disassembled part is separated from the pulp discharge valve, so that the pulp discharge channel and the push rod silica gel are completely exposed, and can be washed, hand washed, placed in a dishwasher for cleaning, etc. During the process of manually washing the main body of the pulp discharge valve, the liquid in the main body is discharged through the drain hole under the action of gravity; if it is placed in a dishwasher, the position of the pulp discharge valve should be adjusted to make the drain hole be at the lower part.
[0177] After cleaning, the left and right parts of the pulp discharge valve can be installed together through the sliding groove, and then the pulp discharge valve is rotated and installed on the crushing cup assembly for next use. The pulp discharge valve and the crushing cup body are coaxially connected through rotation, so that the coaxiality of the sealing push rod and the pulp discharge port after the dismountable valve is installed can be ensured.
