The lid covers the pot body and has a locking ear that is inserted into the locking groove from top to bottom. When the sliding member moves to the locked position, it abuts against the locking ear to prevent the locking ear from moving away from the locking groove. When the sliding member moves to the unlocked position, it releases the locking ear.

[0005] Furthermore, the pot body includes an outer shell and an inner liner, the inner liner being disposed inside the outer shell and forming an assembly cavity with the outer shell, and the connecting rod being housed within the assembly cavity.

[0006] Furthermore, the lower end of the connecting rod is provided with a lower insertion strip, and the outer casing is provided with a lower insertion hole for inserting the lower insertion strip.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting rod is provided with a lower stop bar, and the outer casing is provided with an upper stop bar. The upper stop bar and the lower stop bar abut against each other to restrict the lower insert bar from moving away from the lower insertion hole.

[0008] Furthermore, an elastic element is provided between the outer casing and the connecting rod, and the elastic element causes the connecting rod to have an upward movement tendency.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper end of the connecting rod is provided with an upper insert bar, and the fixing member is provided with an upper insertion hole for inserting the upper insert bar.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer shell is provided with a lug extending outward from its upper end, the fixing member is provided on the lug and together with the lug to form a guide cavity, the sliding member is slidably connected to the fixing member and is provided with a guide member extending into the guide cavity, the guide member moves along the guide cavity when the sliding member moves and can abut against the lug to restrict the sliding member from moving away from the fixing member.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing member is provided with a connecting tube extending into the guide cavity, and the lifting ear is provided with a fastener inserted into the connecting tube to lock the fixing member onto the lifting ear.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer casing is provided with a second limiting groove for the connecting rod to be inserted; and / or the outer casing is provided with a first limiting groove, wherein the fixing member is partially housed in the assembly cavity and partially inserted into the first limiting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, there are two connecting rods, which are arranged opposite each other in the radial direction of the pot body. The pot lid has two locking ears, which correspond one-to-one with two locking grooves.

[0014] The advantages of this technical solution lie in its use of vertically extending connecting rods within the pot body, a fixing component at the upper end of the connecting rod forming a locking groove with the pot body, and a sliding component on the fixing component that can move relative to it to lock or release the locking lugs. This design ensures the pot lid has a good locking effect and is not easily loosened. Furthermore, because the connecting rod is detachably fixed to the pot body, the fixing component is detachably fixed to both the pot body and the connecting rod, and the sliding component is slidably connected to the fixing component, the locking mechanism consisting of the fixing component, the sliding component, and the connecting rod has a simple structure and is easy and quick to assemble and disassemble.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example: Figure 1-10As shown, the quick-release locking structure of the food processor includes a pot body 1 and a pot lid 2. The pot body 1 has a connecting rod 3 that extends vertically and is detachably fixed to it. The upper end of the connecting rod 3 is provided with a locking component 4. The locking component 4 includes a fixing member 401 located at the upper end of the connecting rod 3 and a sliding member 402 that can move relative to the fixing member 401 to a locked position and an unlocked position. The fixing member 401 is detachably fixed to the pot body 1 and the connecting rod 3 respectively. The fixing member 401 and the pot body 1 together form a locking groove 403. The pot lid 2 is placed on the pot body 1 and has a locking ear 201 that is inserted into the locking groove 403 from top to bottom. When the sliding member 402 moves to the locked position, it abuts against the locking ear 201 to restrict the locking ear 201 from moving away from the locking groove 403. When the sliding member 402 moves to the unlocked position, it releases the locking ear 201. This embodiment provides a quick-release locking structure for a food processor to solve the problem of unstable connection and easy loosening of the lid in existing food processors, where the lid is fixed to the pot body by screwing. The main solution involves configuring a vertically extending connecting rod 3 inside the pot body 1. A fixing member 401, which forms a locking groove 403 with the pot body 1, is configured at the upper end of the connecting rod 3. A sliding member 402, which can move relative to the fixing member 401 to lock or release the locking lug 201, provides a good locking effect for the lid 2, making it less prone to loosening. Furthermore, since the connecting rod 3 is detachably fixed to the pot body 1, and the fixing member 401 is detachably fixed to both the pot body 1 and the connecting rod 3, with the sliding member 402 slidably connected to the fixing member 401, the locking mechanism consisting of the fixing member 401, the sliding member 402, and the connecting rod 3 has a simple structure and is easy and quick to assemble and disassemble.

[0020] In this embodiment of the invention, the pot body 1 includes an outer shell 101 and an inner liner 102.
