Description

Automatic liquid-discharging food processor and pulping method thereof Technical Field The invention relates to kitchen appliances, in particular to an automatic liquid-discharging food processor and a pulping method thereof. Background In the initial stage of research on a food processor without hand washing, the inventor originally applied for a patent number of CN201620511374.4 and named as an automatic-cleaning soybean milk machine in order to solve the requirements of automatic pulp discharge and automatic wastewater discharge of the food processor without hand washing. The patent discloses that the case and the fluid-discharge tube that the components of a whole that can function independently set up are by same rotary valve motor drive, and wherein, the fluid-discharge tube passes through the gear train and is driven by rotary valve motor, and rotary valve motor is when driving the case rotation, and the fluid-discharge tube is switching between intercommunication and turn-off with the case, realizes that the fluid-discharge tube rotates to the pulp discharging position and carries out the pulp discharging, and rotates to the waste water discharging position and carry out the waste water discharging, has realized that the food processor that need not wash by hand need not the participation of people, just can accomplish automatic pulp discharging and automatic operation of waste water discharging. However, in this structure, the communicating hole provided in the valve core is always in communication with the pulverizing chamber, and in the pulping process, the communicating hole in the valve core may have a problem of clogging of pulp slag, so that pulp cannot be discharged during pulp discharge. Moreover, relative movement of the valve core and the liquid discharge pipe can generate frictional wear, sealing failure between the valve core and the liquid discharge pipe can be caused, and slag can be hidden at the joint of the valve core and the liquid discharge pipe and is difficult to clean due to the relative movement. In addition, the present inventors have found in the study that there is a risk of scalding the consumer due to the problem of liquid discharge occurring when the liquid discharge tube is not yet rotated in place. In order to further solve the problem that the liquid discharge pipe is not rotated in place to discharge liquid and scald a consumer, the inventor continuously carries out improvement research on the structure of the liquid discharge valve, and subsequently applies for a series of related patents related to the structure of the liquid discharge valve and liquid discharge logic, for example ：CN201810006500.4、CN201810006517.X、CN201810987011.1、CN201810986993.2、CN201810987802.4、CN201810986991.3、CN201911361931.3、CN201911362722.0., regarding the liquid discharge valve of which the liquid discharge pipe is rotated and switched between a pulp discharge position and a waste discharge position, the liquid discharge valve is generally considered to rotate in the process of gradually communicating or gradually closing the liquid discharge pipe, which is a low-reliability expression, because the liquid discharge pipe is used for discharging liquid while rotating, and slurry or cleaning wastewater easily leaks out of a pulp receiving cup or a wastewater box, so that potential safety hazards easily exist. Based on the above, in the patent filed by the inventor, the valve core (movable valve plate) and the liquid discharge pipe are respectively arranged into mutually independent structures, and the liquid discharge pipe and the valve core (movable valve plate) have transmission or relative movement, so that the situation that the valve core (movable valve plate) moves to a valve opening state after the liquid discharge pipe moves to a preset position can be realized, the situation that the liquid discharge pipe discharges liquid in the moving process is effectively avoided, the logicality of man-machine operation is fully considered while automatic pulp discharge and automatic waste water discharge are realized, the scalding of consumers is prevented, and the use experience of the consumers is improved. However, the structure of the liquid discharge valve is complex, the transmission or relative motion relation exists between the valve core and the liquid discharge pipe, the production and maintenance cost is high, and the selling price of the product is greatly increased. Meanwhile, because the valve core needs to drive or relatively move the liquid discharge pipe, the rotating stroke of the valve core is relatively large in one liquid discharge period, the abrasion of the valve core and the valve body, the valve core and the liquid discharge pipe due to the relative movement is also increased, the sealing of the joint parts of the valve core and the valve body, the valve core and the liquid discharge pipe due to the relative movement is likely to fail, and the service life risk of the l
