Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chopper wherein foodstuffs such as fruits and vegetables are chopped into small pieces.
  • Choppers wherein metal blades are used for chopping fruits and vegetables are known in the state of the art.
  • chopping is performed by rotating the blades connected to a motor at high speeds.
  • the need for sharpening the metal blades is one of the most common problems encountered.
  • the metal blades become dull over time and the chopping process becomes inconvenient for the user.
  • gears that are used for increasing torque gets damaged when the dull blades continue to be used.
  • the fact that motors that generate high torques are required for chopping harder foodstuff such as radish increases the production costs of the chopper.
  • the users may be injured during processes such as cleaning, etc.
  • fruits and vegetables losing vitamins after getting in contact with metal pose problems in terms of health.
  • coated sanitary blades are used to solve this problem, the desired solution cannot be provided.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a chopper wherein the foodstuffs are chopped in a healthy manner by preserving their nutritional values.
  • the chopper realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof comprises a pump arranged in the body that covers the upper side of the chamber wherein the chopping process is performed; a water distribution pipe that is connected to the pump so as to extend into the chamber; at least one spray arm that is arranged at the part of the water delivery pipe remaining in the chamber and that rotates around its own axis, and at least one nozzle arranged on the side surface of the spray arm.
  • the pump starts to pump water to the nozzles, and the water that moves at a gradually-increasing flow rate in the water delivery pipe is sprayed through the nozzles at a further accelerated and pressurized state.
  • the momentum created by the pressurized water enables the spray arm to rotate around its own axis, and the pressurized water cuts and chops the foodstuffs.
  • the cutting effect of the pressurized water is known in the state of the art and even used in cutting and chopping processes in heavy industry.
  • the water that is sprayed through the nozzles and that trickles down the foodstuffs is collected on the base of the chamber by means of a filter arranged on the base of the chamber, and the chopped foodstuffs are kept on the filter.
  • the user can easily take the chopped foodstuffs from over the filter after the completion of the chopping process.
  • a reservoir is provided in the body and the water supply to the pump is provided from the water stored in the reservoir.
  • the user adds some water into the reservoir, and the pump pumps the water in the reservoir to the nozzles.
  • the water that accumulates under the filter is transferred back to the pump by means of a return pipe.
  • the return pipe extends up to the underside of the filter and the other end thereof is connected to the inlet of the pump.
  • the width of the water distribution pipe that extends from the pump to the spray arm decreases in the direction from the pump to the spray arm.
  • the flow rate of the water pumped by the pump is increased, and the increased flow rate in turn increases the pressure.
  • a more effective cutting/chopping process is realized by increasing the pressure of the water.
  • the inner surface of the chamber is coated with a hydrophobic material to prevent the water sprayed through the nozzles from sticking the foodstuffs onto the inner surface of the chamber.
  • the water and the chopped foodstuffs flow directly downwards without sticking onto the side walls of the chamber. Consequently, the chopped foodstuffs can be more easily collected from over the filter and the cleaning of the chamber is facilitated.
  • a container in order to increase the effectiveness of the cutting/chopping process realized with water, a container is used, that is connected to the water distribution pipe and that contains fine grain sanitary materials.
  • the fine grain materials placed into the container such as salt, pepper, red pepper powder, etc. are transferred from the container to the water distribution pipe by means of the water flow in the water distribution pipe, and the harder foodstuffs are enabled to be easily cut/chopped by increasing the cutting/chopping effectiveness of the water.
  • the container is connected to the water distribution pipe from above with an acute angle, and the materials in the container are enabled to enter the water distribution pipe with the effect of the gravity.
  • the water distribution pipe extends up to the underside of the filter.
  • a hole is provided at the center of the filter, and the water distribution pipe is inserted into the hole at the center of the filter.
  • the foodstuffs such as lettuce, iceberg lettuce, parsley, onion, carrot, radish, etc. are cut and chopped by means of only pressurized water and thus, the foodstuffs are prevented from losing their nutritional values. Moreover, by means of eliminating the use of sharp objects such as metal blades, etc., the need for maintenance operations such as cleaning, etc. is eliminated.

The user places the foodstuffs into the chamber (2), closes the upper side of the chamber (2) with the body (3) and starts the chopping process.
  • the chopper (1) of the present invention comprises a pump (4) that is arranged in the body (3); a water distribution pipe (5) that is connected to the pump (4) at one end and that extends into the chamber (2) when the body (3) is on the chamber (2); at least one spray arm (6) that is arranged at the part of the water distribution pipe (5) remaining in the chamber (2) and that can rotate around its own axis; at least one nozzle (7) arranged on the lateral surface of the end of the spray arm (6), that enables the water received from the pump (4) to be sprayed and thus enables the spray arm (6) to be rotated around its own axis, and a filter (8) that is positioned at a certain height from the base of the chamber (2).
  • the pump (4) provided in the body (3) pumps water to the nozzles (7) through the water distribution pipe (5).
  • the outlet of the pump (4) is connected to the inlet of the water distribution pipe (5).
  • the spray arm (6) is connected to the water distribution pipe (5) in fluid communication and provides leak-proofing while rotating around its own axis.
  • the nozzle (7) is arranged on the lateral surface of the spray arm (6), preferably close to the ends of the spray arm (6). The pressurized water is sprayed through the nozzles (7), and the momentum generated thus enables the spray arm (6) to be rotated around its own axis.
  • the foodstuffs placed into the chamber (2) are cut/chopped by means of the water sprayed through the nozzles (7).
  • the chopped foodstuffs accumulate on the filter (8).
  • the filter (8) has a structure that allows the passage of the water while blocking the passage of the foodstuffs.
