Description
技术领域
本发明主要涉及用于冲泡原料的容器,并且更特别地是涉及用于自动冲泡咖啡、茶和其它饮料的罐(pod)。
背景技术
不同类型的自动咖啡和茶分配器是公知的。一般来说,这些分配器将一定量的磨碎的咖啡、茶叶或其它类型的可冲泡原料保持于某种类型的容器中。通常,将热水添加到该原料以便冲泡饮料。通常,该原料被保持在某种类型的一次性的容器中,其必须被打开或刺透以便允许热水流过。
但是,这些已知冲泡装置的一个缺点是,与冲泡原料相接触的该装置的元件通常必须被清洁。而且,对于每一种饮料来说,用于原料的容器必须被插入到分配器中并对准。结果,当容器被插入、对准、移除和/或分配器元件被清洁时,饮料分配器作为一个整体在饮料循环之间可能有些慢。
因此,需要得到一种具有快速循环时间的冲泡饮料的装置。优选地,该装置应比较廉价,易于使用并能制造高质量的饮料。同样,该装置优选地应该适用于不同类型的冲泡原料以及冲泡量。
发明内容
因此,本发明可提供一种用于保持磨碎的咖啡和茶叶的容器。该容器可包括主体和从该主体延伸出来的边缘。该边缘可包括基本上平的顶表面和不超过约2.6毫米(约0.1英寸)的宽度。
该容器可由聚苯乙烯、聚乙烯或聚丙烯制成。主体可包括侧壁和底部。底部可包括多个位于其中的孔,多个位于其上的支承肋条,以及多个位于其上的刺钉(spikes)。每一个刺钉可包括由多个叶片包围的底部。
边缘可包括从平的表面延伸出来的凸缘。该凸缘可以一定角度向下延伸以便与主体形成凹部。该凹部可包括上部的弯曲半径。
该容器也可包括定位在该主体内的盖子。该盖子可包括凹的外形和多个位于其中的孔。该主体可包括一个或多个位于其中的以用于盖子的切口(over-cuts)。
本发明的另一实施例可提供一种用于保持磨碎的咖啡或茶叶的容器。该容器可包括在其中具有多个孔的底部,从该底部延伸出来的圆形侧壁,和从该侧壁延伸出来的边缘。该边缘可包括基本上平的顶表面,和从该平的表面向下延伸的凸缘。
本发明的另一实施例可提供一种用于由饮料原料来冲泡饮料的分配器。该分配器可包括在其中具有饮料原料的罐,罐支架,和喷射头。该罐可包括从主体延伸出来的边缘。罐支架可适合于把罐接收于其中,并支承罐的边缘。该喷射头可包括施加到罐的边缘的约136至160千克(约300至350磅)的力。该分配器还可包括多个罐。
罐可包括约五(5)至约八(8)克的塑料材料。边缘可包括基本上平的顶表面,并且喷射头可包括密封环,该密封环的尺寸与平的顶表面相适。主体在其中可包括多个刺钉。
本发明的方法可用于由饮料原料来制备饮料。该方法可包括将饮料原料置于容器内,使用容器的盖子向下捣实饮料原料,将盖子定位在容器中,并以水压为每平方厘米约1.4至14千克(每平方英寸约20至约200磅)的水注入到该容器。

具体实施方式
现在参照附图,其中在这几个附图中,相似的数字指代相似的元件,图1和2示出了饮料分配器系统100的一个应用。在这些图中,示出了罐冲泡装置300。如图所示,该罐冲泡装置300可包括一换热器150,其定位在热水槽160中,并与所示喷嘴200连通。在该实施例中,饮料分配器系统100的各元件总体安装在分配器框架305上。分配器框架305可由不锈钢、铝、其它类型的金属或其它类型的基本上耐蚀的材料制成。
喷嘴200可与一个或多个罐芯(pod cartridge)210相互作用,以便在杯子230或其它类型的接受器中制造所需的饮料。罐芯210可定位在饮料分配器系统100中的转塔组件310内。转塔组件310可固定地连接到分配器框架305。如图3所示,转塔组件310可包括定位在转塔架325内的转塔板320。转塔架325可由不锈钢、铝、其它类型的常规金属或相似类型的基本上耐蚀的材料制成。转塔板320可基本上为圆形。转塔板320可包括多个罐孔330。罐孔330的尺寸适于容纳罐芯210。转塔板320可关于转塔销340旋转。转塔电机350可驱动转塔组件310。该转塔电机350可为常规的交流(AC)电机或相似类型的装置。转塔电机350可以大约六(6)至大约三十(30)转/分(rpm)的速度,优选地以大约二十五(25)转/分(rpm)的速度驱动转塔组件310。
转塔板320也可具有多个定位在其圆周边的定位槽360。定位槽360可定位在每一转塔孔330的周围。定位槽360可与一个或多个限位开关365相配合,以便控制转塔板320的旋转。当限位开关365与一个定位槽360相遇时,板320的旋转可被阻止。
定位在转塔组件310附近的可以是喷嘴组件400。该喷嘴组件400可固定地连接到分配器框架305。喷嘴组件400也可包括在转塔组件310上延伸的喷嘴架410。该喷嘴架410也可由不锈钢、其它类型的金属或相似类型的基本上耐蚀的材料制成。
如图4和5所示,喷嘴组件400可包括如上所述的喷嘴200。喷嘴200可具有缩小的尖端以便在需要时穿透罐芯210,或者具有一较宽的嘴以便容纳整个罐芯210。喷嘴组件400可包括与喷嘴200相配合的喷射头420。喷射头420的直径可略大于罐芯210的直径。喷射头420也可由不锈钢、塑料或相似类型的基本上耐蚀的材料制成。喷射头420可包括定位在其下圆周边的密封环430。该密封环430可由橡胶、硅酮或其它类型的弹性材料制成,以便在喷射头420和罐芯210之间可形成基本上防水的密封。换热器150可与喷射头420相连通,以便将热的、加压水提供至罐芯210。
喷射头420可借助于凸轮系统440在基本上垂直的平面内移动。(术语“垂直的”和“水平的”被用作是与绝对位置相对的参照系。喷射头420和此处描述的其它元件可以任意的方位操作。)凸轮系统的驱动电机450可驱动该凸轮系统440。驱动电机450可以是与上述转塔电机350相似的常规交流(AC)电机。驱动电机450也可以是屏蔽磁极式或直流型(DC)电机。驱动电机450可借助于驱动带系统470来转动偏心凸轮460。驱动电机450和齿轮系470可以大约六(6)至大约三十(30)转/分(rpm)的速度,优选地以二十五(25)转/分(rpm)的速度来转动偏心凸轮460。偏心凸轮460可被加工成这样,即它的下部位置可具有约4.1至约4.8厘米(约1.6至1.9英寸)的半径,而其上部位置可具有约3.5至4.1厘米(约1.3至1.7英寸)的半径。
偏心凸轮460可与空转轮480配合。该空转轮480可与支承板490相连通并且安装于其中。支承板490可关于喷嘴架410进行操纵。该支承板490可由不锈钢、其它类型的钢材、塑料或其它材料制成。支承板490可固定地连接到喷射头420。支承板490可具有多个定位在其上的导轮500,从而支承板490可在喷嘴架410内沿垂直方向移动。复位弹簧520也可连接至支承板和喷嘴架410。限位开关530也可定位在凸轮460周围,以便该凸轮460的旋转不会超过特定的量。
于是,喷射头420可借助于凸轮系统440而沿垂直方向上下操作。特别地,驱动电机450可借助于齿轮系470来转动偏心凸轮460。当偏心凸轮460旋转而半径不断增加时,空转轮480向下推动支承板490,从而使喷射头420与罐芯210接触。偏心凸轮460可使喷射头420下降约6.4至约12.7毫米(约1/4至约1/2英寸)。一旦喷射头420与罐芯210相接触,偏心凸轮460可继续旋转并在罐芯210上增加压力,直到凸轮460到达限位开关530。喷射头420可以向下的约136至160千克(约300至350磅)的力与罐芯210接合。于是,密封环430可在罐芯210的周围形成了基本上气密的以及防水的密封。驱动电机450可将凸轮460保持在适当的位置一段预定的时间。随后,凸轮系统440可反转,以便喷射头420返回到其原始位置。
一旦喷射头420的喷嘴200与罐芯210相接触,热的、高压水可从换热器150流入到喷射头420中。该水可以是约82至约93摄氏度(约180至约200华氏度)。引入的水流可被加压至每平方厘米约11至约14千克(约每平方英寸160至200磅)。流经罐芯210的水的压力可为每平方厘米约1.4至约14千克(每平方英寸约20至200磅)。流经罐芯210的水的压力可随饮料的特性而变化。
如图6和7所示,罐芯210可以不同类型的细磨料、叶片或其它类型的冲泡原料550来填充。在一次冲泡单份约三十(30)毫升浓咖啡(espresso)饮料的情况下,大约六(6)至大约八(8)克的浓咖啡细磨料可置于罐芯210中。同样的,约六(6)至约八(8)克的咖啡细磨料可添加至罐芯210中,以便冲泡一杯约240毫升(约八(8)盎司)的咖啡。为了制作一杯约150毫升(约五(5)盎司)的茶,约三(3)至约五(5)克的茶叶可添加至罐芯210中。
冲泡原料550可定位在一层或多层滤纸560的限制范围中。该滤纸560可以是用于收集冲泡原料550而允许饮料通过的标准滤纸。罐芯可具有一上部滤层570和一下部滤层580。冲泡原料550本身可直接定位在上部和下部滤层570,580之间。可替换地,冲泡原料550可置于箔封皮590中。箔封皮590可用于保持在其内的冲泡原料550的新鲜,并使冲泡原料550不与环境空气接触。可替换地,整个罐芯210可单独地或成组地置于箔封皮590中,直到容器210为使用做好准备。
图8-12示出了罐芯210的实施例,该罐芯可与饮料分配器系统100一起使用或用在其它类型的饮料系统中。罐芯210可基本上具有杯子600的外形。杯子600可由常规的热塑性塑料例如聚苯乙烯、聚乙烯或聚丙烯制成。可替换地,也可使用不锈钢或其它类型基本上耐蚀的材料。杯子600大体上是刚性的。
杯子600可包括大体上圆形的侧壁610和大体上平的底部620。杯子600的侧壁610和底部620可被模制并形成单一的元件,或者单独的侧壁610和单独的底部620可固定地相互连接。侧壁610和底部620,以及作为一个整体的杯子600可具有适当的直径,以便与转塔组件310的转塔板320的罐孔330以及喷嘴组件400的喷射头420相适。可替换地,杯子600的侧壁610和底部620可具有适当的直径,以便与其它任意类型的饮料分配器系统100相适。
杯子600的侧壁610可具有适当的深度,以便容纳适量的冲泡原料550。在该实施例中,侧壁610可具有约3.9厘米(约1.535英寸)的内直径,约4.03厘米(约1.586英寸)的外直径以及约1.295毫米(约0.051英寸)的壁厚。侧壁610还可具有约2.43厘米(约0.955英寸)的深度,而底部620具有约0.318厘米(约0.125英寸)的额外深度。杯子600的侧壁610和底部620的这种构造可容纳大约六(6)至大约十六(16)克的冲泡原料550,这取决于所需的饮料的量,即,八(8)、十二(12)或十六(16)盎司。这些尺寸仅仅是用于举例子的目的。杯子600的侧壁610和底部620可具有任何所需的或适当的尺寸或外形。例如,如果需要,侧壁610可为直线形,锥形,阶梯形或曲面形。
底部620也可以包括底板630。该底板630可包括多个形成于其中的孔640。孔640可遍布板630的宽度。在该实施例中,孔640的外形可以主要是圆形,其直径约为1.6毫米(约0.063英寸)。但是,可以使用任何所需外形或尺寸。尽管可使用任何数量的孔,但是在该实施例中,这里使用约54个孔640。底部620也可包括多个用于支承底板630的支承肋条650。可使用一内部的圆肋条660,和一外部的圆肋条670,以及多个径向的肋条680。可使用任何设计或数量的肋条660。尽管可使用任何所需厚度的肋条,但是在该实施例中,肋条650可具有约2.54毫米(约0.1英寸)的厚度,并且底板630可具有约1.78毫米(约0.07英寸)的厚度。
杯子600的侧壁610也可包括上边缘700。上边缘700可包括大体上平的顶部710和从顶部710向下延伸的倾斜的凸缘720。凸缘720可向下延伸以便与侧壁610形成凹部730。凹部730的顶部可形成弯曲的内半径735。如图13所示,侧壁610在凹部730内可包括或不包括一外部台阶740。
在该实施例中,并且仅仅是示例性的,上边缘700的平的顶部710可具有沿垂直方向延伸的约2.54毫米(约0.1英寸)的宽度。凸缘720可具有约2.2毫米(约0.087英寸)的长度。边缘700的凸缘720和凹部730的尺寸被确定以便与罐孔330的尺寸相适。特别地,在使用尽可能少的材料时,边缘700被配置成与罐孔330的尺寸以及喷射头420预期的力相适。
图14和15示出了杯子600的另一实施例。在该实施例中,杯子600的侧壁610可包括多个形成于其中的切口760。在该实施例中,可使用第一切口770和第二切口780。但是,可以使用任何数量的切口760。切口760环绕侧壁610的内圆周可以是连续的或者切口760可以是间断的。切口760可与盖子790相配合。盖子790可具有大体上楔形的边缘800,以便配合并保持在切口760内。楔形边缘800的使用可确保盖子790保持在适当的位置。边缘800可以是连续的或间断的,以便与切口760配合。优选地,盖子790向内弯曲或在外形上主要为凹形。
根据需要置于杯子600内的冲泡原料550的量,盖子790可置于第一或第二切口770,780中。盖子790向下弯曲,以便在压力下向下捣实冲泡原料550,并防止其中的冲泡原料550移动。盖子790可以至少约九(9)千克的压力(约二十(20)磅的力)来压实冲泡原料550。盖子790也可在其中具有多个孔810,以便允许来自喷射头420的水通过。根据喷射头420的特性,盖子790的使用不是必要的。替代地,可使用箔包装或任何其它的覆盖物。同样地,切口760也可按照需要被去除或加以改变。
图16-19示出了本发明进一步的实施例,即具有刺钉的罐850。该具有刺钉的罐850可使用杯子600,侧壁610,底部620,边缘700,以及如上所述罐芯210的各元件。该具有刺钉的罐850也可包括多个沿底部620的底板630定位的刺钉860。刺钉860可用来刺穿冲泡原料550的包装袋,这将在下文详细描述。在该实施例中,可使用约十八(18)个刺钉860。但是,可使用任何所需数量的刺钉860。刺钉860可沿底部620的径向肋条680,或沿底板630的其它位置排列。
如图19所示,例如,刺钉860可包括包围基座880的三(3)个三角形叶片870。叶片870的尖端可形成刺穿区域890。叶片870可具有任何所需的外形。叶片870可具有约6.35毫米(约0.25英寸)的高度,并且基座880可具有约3.8毫米(约0.15英寸)的高度,以便刺穿区域890在基座880上的长度可为约2.54毫米(约0.1英寸)。但是,可使用任何所需的尺寸。
在使用时,滤纸的下层580可与罐芯210的杯子600一起放置。下层580可沿底部620的底板630被定位。随后,一定量的冲泡原料550可置于其中。随后,如果要求,滤纸的上层570可置于冲泡原料550上。盖子790随后可置于杯子600内,以便向下压冲泡原料550。一旦盖子790压紧冲泡原料550,盖子790的边缘800就被定位在杯子600的侧壁610内的适当切口760内。随后,罐210可被密封或者可以其它方式被运送,以便与饮料分配器系统100一起使用,或其它。
罐210可定位在转塔组件310的一个罐孔330内。特别地,罐孔330的外缘与杯子600的边缘700的凸缘720对准。具有常规方形边缘的罐或其它装置将延伸到罐孔330以外太远,以致于不能与喷嘴组件310的喷射头420相作用。随后,喷射头420可定位在罐210附近。喷射头420的密封环630密封在杯子600的边缘700的顶部710周围。在有关的压力下,使用圆形的边缘或具有非扁平外形的边缘可对密封环430产生损坏,所包括的压力如上文所述,即喷射头420可在向下的约136至约160千克的力(约300至约350磅)的作用下与罐芯210接合,并且引入的水流可被加压至每平方厘米约十一(11)至约十四(14)千克(每平方英寸约160至200磅(psi))。流经罐芯210的水的压力可根据冲泡原料550的特性而从每平方厘米约1.4变化至约14千克(每平方英寸约二十(20)至约200磅)。
流经喷射头420的水可在盖子790上和其中的孔810上散开,并且流入到冲泡原料550。冲泡的饮料随后可穿过杯子600的底部620中的孔640。
边缘700以及杯子600的底部620被设计为可使用尽可能少的材料,而仍可承受上述的水压而不发生变形。当使用例如聚丙烯均聚物时,杯子600作为一个整体在其中可具有约五(5)至约八(8)克的塑料材料。边缘700的构造可节省约0.4至约0.6克或所需的约百分之十(10%)的塑料。
在具有刺钉的罐850的实施例中,冲泡原料550可定位在箔封皮590中。至少下滤层580也可置于杯子600内。喷嘴200可穿透箔封皮590或者水可以上述水压以其它方式流入杯子600中。该水压可迫使下滤层580和箔封皮590均靠在具有刺钉的罐850的刺钉860上。该压力可允许这些刺钉860穿透下滤层580和箔封皮590。由刺钉860引起的刺穿可允许冲泡的饮料流过,同时大体上将剩余的冲泡原料550保持于其中。刺钉860可提供对箔封皮590大体上均匀的穿透。冲泡原料550也可容纳在其它类型的可被刺钉860穿透的结构中。
