The locking structure of the present application mainly provides a pre-tightening force, which prevents the situation that the bracket 120 drives the discharge pipe 130 to slide and further causes the leakage at the butt joint in the use process due to the discharge process or the vibration of the food processor.

In an embodiment, the locking structure includes a first locking portion 114 disposed on the valve seat 110 and a second locking portion 124 disposed on the support 120, and the first locking portion 114 is connected to the second locking portion 124 when the support 120 brings the discharge pipe 130 into the valve seat 110 and abuts against the discharge opening 201. In this embodiment, the first locking portion 114 is a locking groove formed on the valve seat 110, and the second locking portion 124 is a hook formed on the holder 120. Through the cooperation of trip and draw-in groove, realize arranging material pipe 130 and bin outlet 201 butt joint back, when support 120 carries out relatively fixed with disk seat 110, in the cleaning process is taken out row material pipe 130 to needs, also realizes the unblock of support 120 and disk seat 110 comparatively easily. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 124 of the locking structure may be two magnetic blocks mounted on the support 120 and the valve seat 110, respectively, or a latch and a slot or hole configuration that cooperates with the latch to retain the latch, or a configuration such as a snap lock and a catch, mounted on the support 120 and the valve seat 110, respectively.

The present invention further provides a food processor, which includes a container 200 and a valve body device 100, and the specific structure of the valve body device 100 refers to the above embodiments, and since the food processor adopts all technical solutions of all the above embodiments, the food processor at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and no further description is given here.

Wherein, the food processor of this application can be machines such as soybean milk machine, cooking machine, broken wall machine, juice extractor, mixer, coffee machine on the market.

The above description is only an alternative embodiment of the present invention, and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all modifications and equivalents of the present invention, which are made by the contents of the present specification and the accompanying drawings, or directly/indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are included in the scope of the present invention.

Claims

1. A valve body apparatus for a food processor having a discharge outlet, comprising:

a valve seat mountable to the food processor;

the bracket is movably connected with the valve seat;

2. The valve body assembly of claim 1 wherein said drive clamp is mounted to said valve seat and said material clamp is mounted to said support, said material clamp and said discharge tube being removable from said valve seat with said support.

3. The valve body assembly of claim 1 wherein said discharge conduit is removably connected to said support frame, said discharge conduit being removable from said support frame after said support frame has carried said discharge conduit out of said valve seat.

4. A valve body assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein said valve seat defines guide slots along which said carrier is slidable to drive said discharge conduit into said valve seat into abutment with said discharge opening.

5. The valve body assembly of claim 4, wherein said conduit clamp includes a first pressure plate and a second pressure plate, said discharge conduit passing between said first pressure plate and said second pressure plate when entering said valve seat, said actuating member capable of moving said first pressure plate and said second pressure plate through said actuating clamp and toward said discharge conduit to cooperate to compress said discharge conduit.

6. The valve body assembly of claim 5 wherein said support defines a mounting cavity and is provided with a first opening, a second opening and a third opening communicating with said mounting cavity, said discharge conduit having opposite ends extending from said first opening and said second opening, respectively;

7. The valve body assembly of claim 6, wherein said valve seat is provided with a retaining groove communicating with said guide groove, said driving member being capable of driving said driving clip to move along said retaining groove to enter said guide groove or to exit said guide groove;

8. The valve body assembly of claim 1, wherein a locking structure is disposed between said valve seat and said support, and said support is secured to said valve seat by said locking structure when said support moves said discharge conduit into said valve seat and into abutment with said discharge opening.

9. A valve body assembly as defined in claim 8, wherein said locking structure includes a first locking portion disposed on said valve seat and a second locking portion disposed on said support, said first locking portion being connected to said second locking portion when said support carries said discharge conduit into said valve seat and into abutment with said discharge opening.

10. The valve body assembly of claim 9, wherein the first locking portion is a catch formed on the valve seat and the second locking portion is a catch formed on the poppet.

11. A food processor comprising a container provided with a discharge opening and a valve body arrangement as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 10, said valve body arrangement being mounted externally of said container, a discharge conduit in said valve body arrangement being capable of abutting said discharge opening when entering said valve seat.
