The present invention provides a slurry discharge valve apparatus 100.

Referring to fig. 1, 2, 10 and 11, in an embodiment of the present invention, a slurry discharge valve apparatus 100 includes a housing assembly 110, a valve main body 120 and a driving assembly 170.

The valve body 120 comprises a discharge pipe 130, a plunger assembly 140 and a reset member 150, the discharge pipe 130 is mounted on the housing assembly 110, the discharge pipe 130 is provided with a feed port 133, a discharge port 134 and a mounting port 135 which are communicated with each other, the slurry discharge valve device 100 of the present invention can be applied to equipment requiring fluid discharge, for example, in the structure shown in fig. 1, 10 and 11, the slurry discharge valve device 100 is applied to a food processor 500, the food processor 500 is provided with a discharge port 211, the feed port 133 in the slurry discharge valve device 100 is used for being butted with the discharge port 211, the plunger assembly 140 extends into the discharge pipe 130 from the mounting port 135, the reset member 150 is used for providing elastic force to drive the plunger assembly 140 to have a moving tendency from a first position to a second position, so that the discharge pipe 130 is switched between two different states of blocking and conducting on a flow path from the feed port 133 to the discharge port 134, the driving assembly 170 is mounted to the housing assembly 110 and is in transmission connection with the plunger assembly 140, and the driving assembly 170 is configured to drive the plunger assembly 140 to overcome the elastic force of the restoring member 150 and move from the second position to the first position.

The plunger assembly 140 of the present invention is slidably connected to the discharging tube 130, that is, the discharging tube 130 can be slid relative to the wall surface of the mounting opening 135 after being inserted into the discharging tube 130 from the mounting opening 135, and in the first position and the second position, the plunger assembly 140 is not removed from the mounting opening 135.

In one embodiment, the restoring member 150 may be a spring, a spring plate, or the like, and the restoring member 150 is used for providing an elastic force to drive the plunger assembly 140 to have a moving tendency from the first position to the second position, which means that, in the case of no interference or blockage from an external force, that is, naturally, when the plunger assembly 140 is in the first position, it will inevitably slide to the second position and stop due to the elastic force of the restoring member 150, in this process, the discharge pipe 130 is switched between two different states of interruption and conduction on the flow path from the feed opening 133 to the discharge opening 134, the venting tube 130 may be changed from a conductive state to a blocking state, or from a blocking state to a conductive state, and accordingly, the driving assembly 170 is used to drive the plunger assembly 140 to overcome the elastic force of the reset member 150 and move from the second position to the first position, so that the venting tube 130 acts in opposition to the reset member 150. In the present embodiment, it is preferable that the reset member 150 drives the plunger assembly 140 to move from the first position to the second position, the discharge pipe 130 is changed from the conducting state to the blocking state, specifically, referring to fig. 10, it can be seen from fig. 10 that when the driving assembly 170 is not operated, the plunger assembly 140 slides towards the inside of the discharge pipe 130 under the driving of the reset member 150, so that the discharge pipe 130 is in the blocking state, and the driving assembly 170 is operated, so that when the plunger assembly 140 moves from the second position to the first position, the plunger assembly 140 is changed from the blocking state to the conducting state, as shown in fig. 11, and at this time, the driving assembly 170 is operated, and at this time, the plunger assembly 140 slides out of the discharge pipe 130 from the mounting port 135 to conduct on the flow path from the feed port 133 to the discharge port 134, which is beneficial in that the flexible driving and continuous pressing capability by the elastic force of the reset member 150, the discharge pipe 130 can be more reliable when blocked, leakage is not easy to occur, and other structures or programs are not needed to accurately control the stroke of the driving assembly 170, so that the structure is simpler and the production cost is lower.
