Problems solved by technology

[0004] Unfortunately, the fact that support pins must be provided on the bottom of the screen limits filtering with a large block bottom and being made of a hard material to maintain the support pins also at high RPMs due to the large and hard blocks not being easy to handle Design of the screen that can also withstand torque or shear forces acting on the support pins
This makes the screen complex and the production of the chopping device complex and costly

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail by taking an example of the ice crusher 1 below. The ice crusher 1 comprises a container 2 , a crushing tool 3 with a rotating crushing knife 30 and a strainer 32 .

[0024] The container 2 has a handle 24 and stands on a bottom ring 25 with a rubber sheath 26 all around to prevent the container 2 from slipping. Anchoring means 27 are integrated in the bottom 21 of the container 2 to fix the support pin 20 . In the present example, the support pin 20 is made of steel, the anchoring means 27 is also made of steel, and the container 2 is made of plastic material.

[0025] The edge of the container opening supports a rubber ring 321 . The ring 321 holds the filter screen 32 . The rubber ring 321 improves the torque resistance of the ice crusher 1, and since the filter screen 32 no longer beats the container wall, noise is reduced during ice crushing. exist figure 1 In the particular example shown, the ring 321 ...

Abstract

To provide a food chopper of simple design and high performance, a device ( 1 ) for chopping food, in particular pieces of ice, is proposed, said device ( 1 ) including a container ( 2 ) providing a bearing pin ( 20 ) on its bottom ( 21 ) and being divided into an upper processing zone ( 22 ) and a lower collecting zone ( 23 ), said processing zone ( 22 ) accommodating a chopping tool ( 3 ) for reducing the food, said chopping tool ( 3 ) being formed by a rotary cutting blade ( 30 ) and comprising a tool spindle ( 31 ), and in the transition region from the processing zone ( 22 ) to the collecting zone ( 23 ) there being at least partially a sieve ( 32 ) separating the processing zone ( 22 ) from the collecting zone ( 23 ), wherein the lower end ( 310 ) of the tool spindle ( 31 ) is rotatably mounted on the bearing pin ( 20 ). Preferably, a stirring tool ( 34 ) is part of the chopping tool ( 3 ) and is formed by a rotary stirring blade ( 340 ).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for chopping foodstuffs, especially ice cubes, said device comprising a container on the bottom of which is provided with support pins and which is divided into an upper processing zone and a lower collecting zone, said processing The zone accommodates a chopping tool for grinding food, said chopping tool having a rotary cutter and comprising a tool spindle, and in a transition zone from the processing zone to the collecting zone there is at least partly a separation of the processing zone from the collecting zone filter screen. Background technique [0002] Generally, food processing with, for example, kitchen utensils is based on a rotational movement of the tool. By rotating eg a blade or a set of blades or a disc with a set of blades, food can be chopped, cut, ground, mixed, blended, etc. To effectively chop very hard foods such as nuts, spices, briquettes or very hard vegetables or fruit, tools can be improved b...
