Definitions
- the utility model in question relates to a constructive arrangement introduced in a beverage preparation device and, more particularly, a beverage preparation device based on the use of capsules that store beverage inputs or flavoring inputs. .
- the utility model in question provides for at least one sensor for detecting and reading information available on beverage input storage capsules, the new arrangement, which involves inventive action and results in functional improvement. , both in the use and manufacture of the beverage preparation device, refers to the privileged location of such a sensor.
- beverage preparation device models As is well known to those skilled in the art, the current state of the art is comprised of a wide range of beverage preparation device models. Among these models, we highlight those belonging to the residential (non-commercial) niche where the user is able to prepare - in his own home or place of work - his own drink. Specifically in this niche, beverage preparation devices are particularly noteworthy, whose functional principle is entirely based on the use of capsules that store beverage inputs, or flavoring inputs.
- beverage preparation devices which, based on the use of beverage storage capsules, are considered automatic.
- beverage preparation devices are capable of preparing a plurality of beverage types with minimal human interference (or need for interference).
- beverage preparation devices known to cooperate with food storage capsules are known.
- beverage inputs provided with specific information about the "recipe" for preparing a particular beverage.
- a capsule comprising beverage input related to cold drink further comprises information, or a "recipe", which is intended to "guide” certain processes that will be performed by the systems internally allocated to the brewing device.
- the capsule may also contain, for example, information related to temperature and carbon dioxide concentration of the water to be dispensed by the beverage preparation device.
- BRPI05078601 describes, by way of example, a beverage preparation device capable of cooperating with beverage input storage capsules by optical means.
- said beverage preparation device comprises an optical sensor capable of communicating with a central processing unit, which contains pre-programmed "recipes", and the beverage input storage capsules in turn. comprise spelled codes (such as barcodes or equivalent) especially related to specific pre-programmed "recipes" in the central processing unit of the beverage preparation device.
- the optical sensor reads the code written on the capsule and, based on this information, the central unit Processor finds the corresponding "recipe” and performs the predefined operations according to the correct "recipe".
- Document BRPI05078601 is reported to be vague when defining the specific type and the ideal or preferred location of the optical sensor. However, it is known that the location of the optical sensor is extremely important for the ideal operation of the beverage preparation device.
- the beverage preparation device currently marketed by the holder of document BRPI05078601 adopts an embodiment in which said optical sensor is disposed within the capsule compression mechanism (also described in detail in the document). BRPI06170714).
- the location of the optical sensor as observed in the commercial version of the beverage preparation device of the holder of document BRPI05078601 is problematic, after all, keeps the optical sensor exposed to beverage inputs from possible and eventual capsule explosions. of beverage input storage. That is, if a problem occurs with a beverage input storage capsule, its contents may come into direct contact with the optical sensor, which may damage the optical sensor and, in more alarming cases, even disable it completely.
- beverage preparation device which comprises at least one optical sensor capable of cooperating with diagrammed beverage input storage capsules, at least one housing for beverage input storage capsules, and at least one retaining surface of at least one edge portion of the beverage input storage capsules and is distinguished from other similar devices by the fact that at least one optical sensor is disposed on said containment surface of at least one edge portion of the beverage input storage capsules to be outside the housing cavity of beverage input storage capsules.
- Automatic beverage preparation devices based on the use of beverage storage capsules may provide for different general constructive arrangements, most of these general constructive arrangements already known to those skilled in the art. It is not the purpose of the utility model in question to describe all the details of at least one of these possible general constructive provisions. However, this does not characterize descriptive insufficiency; after all, given the non-exhaustive possibilities, the utility model in question could be applied to any of these general constructive provisions, including those described in documents BRPI05078601 and BRPI06170714.
- the beverage preparation device as designed in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the utility model in question, comprises an external chassis into which the subsystems (water heater) are arranged. water, water chiller, water aerator, water treatment plant, data processing center, among others) required for beverage preparation.
- subsystems water heater
- water chiller water chiller
- water aerator water treatment plant
- data processing center data processing center
- Such mechanism comprises at least one beverage input storage capsule housing cavity 2.
- said capsule housing cavity 2 of Beverage input storage is bordered by a retaining surface 3 which is intended to retain at least one edge portion of the beverage input storage caps (so that they can be properly positioned and not fully enter the housing cavity 2).
- the optical sensor 1 is still visible, which is able to cooperate with beverage input storage caps provided with diagrams in order to enable the automation of beverage preparation (with minimal user interference). As previously mentioned, it is the optical sensor 1 that "reads" the information from the capsule diagrams in order to trigger the subsystems responsible for preparing beverages.
- the constructive arrangement introduced in a beverage preparation device is highlighted by the fact that the optical sensor 1 is arranged on the containment surface 3 of at least one edge portion of the beverage input storage capsules, that is, the optical sensor 1 is disposed outside the beverage supply storage capsule housing cavity 2.
- This location and / or arrangement ensures that any event occurring within the beverage input storage capsule housing cavity 2 will not affect the operation of the optical sensor 1, and this renders the prior purposes of the utility model on screen are fully achieved.
