Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of integrated cartridge for the granule materials leaching beverage from such as coffee in powder form, instant coffee, tealeaves, chocolate powder or milk powder.
Background technology
As everyone knows, for conventionally granule materials being put in the container of a filtration that is arranged on machine from the machine of granule materials leaching beverage.Especially, automatic/semi-automatic flash distillation coffee machine (espressocoffee machine) comprises the container of a filtration, also referred to as filter mounting yoke, the ampoule coffee in powder form when use is mounted in it, and then carries out the leaching of coffee beverage.
The general step that leaches coffee beverage in flash distillation coffee machine is roughly equal to the step that starts to prepare beverage with other automatic machinery from powder material, comprise that beverage that a stage that hot water is injected with under suitable pressure to the leaching chamber of the container of filtration, impregnation stage and handle soak is out transported to coffee cup outside machine or the stage of glass, in order to drinking.
For the preparation of coffee in powder form and the normally material of disposable Instant Drinks of other granule materials of infusion beverage, once coffee in powder form is soaked, the speciality that sense organ is worked wherein, has lost with regard to irremediable such as the body of taste, fragrance and the beverage that soaked.Therefore, in flash distillation coffee machine and at other, soak in machine, after once soaking, the granule materials soaking must be taken out.Here it is need to be equipped with the reason that the filtering container of ampoule coffee in powder form takes out from flash distillation coffee machine with handgrip conventionally, and taking out container is the new coffee in powder form for the coffee in powder form by mistake wherein being outwelled and packed into ampoule.
For the ease of carrying out charging and the emptying operation of filtering container, adopting the disposable coffee in powder form sheet stock of pre-packing always, it comprises the coffee in powder form that is contained in the ampoule in filtration paper bag, this sheet stock can be placed directly in the filtering container of flash distillation coffee machine.Although this structure is given in operation and brought convenience, it also has some shortcomings.Specifically, sheet stock is not airtight, therefore, in order to seal each ampoule, must carry out hermetically sealed packaging for the second time, to keep sheet stock not to be subject to being infected with of external environment in storage process.
Further, in the time sheet stock being put in filter mounting yoke, user's hand will contact sheet stock, and this just can not guarantee to meet healthy requirement completely.
In the past few years, also there is being equipped with the disposable materials capsule that makes of coffee in powder form.This material capsule plastics or the aluminium that is generally frustoconical shape is made, and compared with its sack made from filter paper, environment has good air-tightness to external world.
A kind of known material capsule has an end face that can be penetrated by the water injection needle/nozzle of flash distillation coffee machine, to water is injected in material capsule with certain pressure, this material capsule also has a bottom surface, and it comprises a weakness zone that will break under the pressure of osmotic fluid.In material capsule, be also provided with an internal ramp, for preventing that material particles from flowing out from material capsule with coffee beverage.
Another kind of known material capsule comprises the cylindrical housings made from polypropylene, on its end face and bottom surface, there are many holes, for hot water being distributed in equably to the coffee in powder form of ampoule, also comprise a paper filter, for preventing that at leaching process the hole of coffee in powder form from bottom surface from draining to outside and coming.These material capsules all must further be packed conventionally, such as wrapping with multi-layer laminate plastic bag.
In order to prepare coffee beverage, these known material capsules and barrel need to be put into filter mounting yoke, in the time attaching it on coffee machine, just form coffee leaching chamber.In leaching process, osmotic fluid may first contact the inside face of leaching chamber, then flows out and enters the coffee cup outside machine.This contact may be infected with leaching chamber and filter mounting yoke, and after the extract operation of several times coffee extract, owing to having residue and contaminant in leaching chamber, the quality of beverage will reduce greatly.
Therefore, must after the coffee extract extract operation of certain number of times, thoroughly clean the extraction assembly that comprises leaching chamber and filter mounting yoke, in addition, also should remove termly the calcium of deposition.
Even in the situation that regularly carrying out these clean operations, fluid turbulent in the leaching chamber of machine or injection hot water process expect that inadequate Fluid Sealing at end face capsule, that be opened place also can make some part of the outside face of the beverage of leaching or the hot water moistening material capsule of injection itself, and this will impair the healthy requirement of leaching process.
Another shortcoming of known material capsule is that they can not be retained in osmotic fluid residue in material capsule, because hole or opening on end face and/or the bottom surface of material capsule, in the time that leaching process finishes and/or take out material capsule from machine time, for fluid residue provides outflow pathway, this can make to expect that capsule has drip phenomenon and stains the surrounding environment of coffee machine.
In addition, known various material capsules and flash distillation coffee machine not only have problem aspect safe and sanitary, and they can not effectively be distributed in hot water coffee in powder form and/or can not make coffee beverage effectively flow out.
In fact, in the material capsule of known frustoconical shape, hot water is that the nozzle by puncturing material capsule end face is injected in the internal capacity of material capsule, and the diameter of end face is less than the diameter of bottom surface, so hot water is to go out from a single point spirt, rather than is sprayed onto equably on the coffee of whole ampoule.Therefore, hot water can only be to fill with in a kind of inhomogeneous mode the particle of making coffee.
That barrel disclosing in EP-A-1344722 has partly overcome this shortcoming, and two disks are wherein set in barrel, and barrel has multiple perforates and multiple burr, is used to form multiple fluid groove paths.Regrettably, the upper and lower surface of this known barrel all must be punctured and could leach beverage, and must the internal capacity of this barrel be filled with additional element such as distribution plate.
Those barrels of prior art also have a shortcoming, are exactly that they use and are not easily, because user must control direction of insertion in the time that barrel is installed in leaching machine.Given shape by the barrel container in machine can be convenient to this control, but as the special busy of user (for example, when user is when one quick many clients of being prepare the coffee bar attendant of coffee beverage in rapid succession), even need a little control also be difficult to accept.

Although the preferred embodiment of each barrel of the present invention comprises the mobile grid of fluid as in Figure 2-4, those skilled in the art are readily appreciated that: for same object, also can adopt the mobile grid of fluid of other layout and shape.For example, the fluid flow baffles of " ten " font can be set, be split into four affluent-dividings in order to supporting filter paper and a straight fluid flow point.Or, some radial projection that are shaped around the perforate of lid or cup can be set, and allow them stretch to the center of perforate, this will be described below with reference to Figure 27.
Fluid flow grid can not be direct forming on the inside face of barrel, but they are made to an independent member, and then it are injected and be fixed on inlet port or the flow export of barrel.For example, can, with one section of little plastic pipe, its two ends for example, be blocked with the filter material (film of themoplasticity screen material or labyrinth type fabric or paper) of fluid penetrable.The example of the mobile grid of independent fluid like this will describe below with reference to Figure 27.
Further, the fluid grid that flows not only can be located to the enter/discharging opening place of lid but also be located at the enter/discharging opening place of cup, and also can only be located at one of two places, or flow and require not arrange completely any grid according to fluid.
Similarly, cover part 3 is provided with many rib 101b, and they are outstanding to barrel internal capacity, specifically, is outstanding to the upper surface of filter paper 5b.Correspondingly, many little tank circuits are formed between filter paper 5b and cup end 7b, and lid is entered/discharging opening 6b is communicated in the whole end face of filter paper-coffee assembly 4,5a.
In each alternative embodiment, little fluid groove path only can be located in cup part or only be located in cover part, or not arrange completely.In these situations, preferably at the bottom of reducing the rib of number and being formed in glass or at the bottom of lid, and make them outstanding to barrel internal capacity so that at the bottom of cup/lid at the bottom of and between flow elernent, form air space.Such typical structure will be described below with reference to Figure 11.
Or, in order to form a meticulous tank circuit at least a portion barrel, that face the inside face that comprises the coffee in powder form of ampoule and one of the top surface of nonrecoverable flow elernent and basal surface, the disk of an aerated materials can be placed between the enter/discharging opening of coffee in powder form, flow elernent and cup or enter/discharging opening of lid of such ampoule.Preferably, make such disk extend the coffee in powder form of ampoule, whole end face or the bottom surface of flow elernent.
Although represent not too obviously in Fig. 1-4, but enter/discharging opening of lid and/or enter/discharging opening of cup are preferably blocked with a film, for example film can be made with multi-layer laminate plastic, in leaching process, can be taken off or can be pierced through or be staved by machine with hand.
Or, can block the enter/discharging opening of lid or the enter/discharging opening of cup by the integral surface producing in the process of manufacture cover part, or block them with rubbery stopper or sealing member, this will be described hereinafter, or whole barrel is preserved in the sack or package that can be torn by hand before use.That sack or package may be made in laminated multi-layer vacuum or under pressure, be filled with unreactable gas (such as by improved anti-atmosphere package method (ModifiedAtmosphere Packaging) or claim MAP technology).
Or, can for example,, with edible solid matter (various polysaccharide, protein and lipid) enter/discharging opening of sealing lid or enter/discharging opening of cup, air can not be permeated, but can or can be melted by inlet water temperature by water-soluble solution.
Barrel 1 is preferably made with polypropylene and is to manufacture by known injection molding technology.In any case this barrel of the present invention and any barrel can be with following any material manufactures: other thermoplastic material, for example PET; Artificial rubber-thermoplastic material or TPE, for example SANTOPRENE, the namely non-EPDM interweaving and polyacrylic compound; Various thermoset compositions, for example polyester; Rubber or artificial rubber, for example silica gel or MVQ; Laminated multi-layer thermoplastic material, the laminated film of for example making with PE, PET and PVDC; Aluminium; Other layer laminates, the laminated film of for example making with PE, PET and aluminium.Barrel 1 also can be with other technical method such as thermoforming manufacture.
If the main body of that typical barrel of describing in Fig. 1 is that for example 30-35mm is high, 35-40mm is wide, enter/discharging opening of lid and enter/discharging opening of cup are all that about 7-8mm is high and 8-10mm is wide.But those skilled in the art are readily appreciated that: according to the structure of leaching requirement and beverage extraction machine, the size of barrel of the present invention can be different.
By the principal particulars of defined barrel 1, will be understood that: this barrel can be eliminated being always infected with of existence of the leaching chamber of coffee machine, because enter/discharging opening/flow export of cup 6a plays the effect of outlet, it can make leaching beverage out directly flow to the cup outside machine, for drinking subsequently.Correspondingly, flow export 6a is configured as and can be used in known filter mounting yoke or protrudes from outside the filter mounting yoke of manufacturing by special-purpose, can keep like this inside face of filter mounting yoke clean very much and can prevent that the beverage that leaches out from barrel is contacted with these surfaces.
In addition, the many sulculuses road of direct forming on the inside face of cup part allows, in barrel, additional fluid guide is no longer set, and can advantageously enter with cup/discharging opening combined and form the integrated form conveyer that can carry leaching beverage out.Simultaneously, these sulculus roads allow internal pressure barrel, between upper area and the lower area of coffee cake to fall and remain a lower numerical value substantially, therefore all the coffee in powder form of amount is utilized, and makes leaching beverage out have the aesthetic quality of enhancing.
For the reason in function, preferably coffee cake and the space at the end of cup part or cover part are remained as far as possible little.
Another improvement that specific barrel shown in Fig. 1 comprises is that it can be put upside down, that is to say, also it can be turned around and inserts.In fact, the main body of barrel is to be configured as substantial symmetry in an imaginary plane perpendicular to water filling axis (water injection axis).Specifically, cup enter/discharging opening 6a and enter/discharging opening of lid 6b are substantially identical in shape and size, they are all in alignment with same water filling axis, and the height of sidewall 105a is substantially equal to the height of cylindrical side wall 105b, as shown in Figure 2.Advantageously, on the inside face of cup part and cover part, be all provided with many meticulous tank circuits.
Therefore, barrel 1 can be installed together in the container of filtration, no matter which enter/discharging opening plays import effect, also no matter which enter/discharging opening plays outlet effect, this is convenient to carry out barrel to inject the operation in leaching machine very much.
Although represented various characteristics with reference to the typical embodiment of Fig. 1-4, but, also be other constructional feature being within the scope of the present invention by suitably combining each basic feature having illustrated or increasing, several alternative embodiment of the present invention can be provided.
With reference to Fig. 5, wherein describe the second preferred embodiment of the present invention.Specifically, Fig. 5 is the cutaway view of barrel 11, although its main body is similar to the barrel of describing in Fig. 1 in appearance, its inner structure has some new feature.
Although Fig. 5 is the cutaway view of barrel 11, will be understood that this view is along one, the barrel of whole reality imaginary sagittal plane in two to be cutd open and got, understand for simplicity, in each figure, imaginary plane is not showed.Clearly, those skilled in the art are easy to imagine the structure that whole barrel 11 from the cutaway view of Fig. 5.
On the open end that cover part 13 is arranged on to cup part 12 time, the cup end 17, sidewall 18 and cover part 13 just define an internal capacity.The coffee in powder form of ampoule is encapsulated in this internal capacity, is sealed by filtering installation, and sealing mode can be similar to that mode depicted in figure 2, or makes tablet or the material cake of known type, and this will below illustrate in greater detail.
In Fig. 5, for the sake of simplicity, omitted coffee in powder form and flow elernent, but should be able to imagine, they are full of the internal capacity of barrel substantially, and this is the same with the situation of the embodiment of Fig. 2.
The cup end 17, preferably comprises a sidewall 115a, and it is aligned in sidewall 18 protruding with respect to the internal capacity of barrel.
The shape of cover part 13 can match to merge with the open end of cup part 12 and comprise 17b at the bottom of lid, and columniform sidewall 115b upwards and slightly stretches out from 17b at the bottom of lid.Sidewall 115b ends at ring edge 19b, and ring edge 19b is roughly facing to 17b protruding from sidewall 115b at the bottom of lid, to be matched with the rim of a cup edge 19a of cup part 12 and support thereon.

Cover part 13 also comprises enter/discharging opening of the lid of conventionally a closing 16b, and it is preferably positioned at the centre of 17b at the bottom of lid protruding with respect to the internal capacity of barrel 11.So-called " normally closed " refers to that this mouthful was hermetic closed before leaching, and in the time starting to leach, this mouthful can be struck with the hand open or automatically be opened by beverage extraction machine by user, for example, puncture the surface of blocking this mouthful.
In the embodiment of Fig. 5, enter/discharging opening of lid 16b is by blocking with the weak lower surface 14 of one of its all-in-one-piece.Or, can be with the enter/discharging opening of blocking lid of the plastic sheeting on the outer lip of the enter/discharging opening that is welded on lid, or with the stopper of rubbery stopper or rubber like or the sealing member enter/discharging opening of blocking lid, this will be described hereinafter.
The inside face of enter/discharging opening of lid 16b is substantially smooth, but also can, as above with reference to described in the embodiment of Fig. 2, the mobile grid of fluid be set.
In the first grid 114 is formed in cup enter/discharging opening 16a, near it outflow lip and radially cross the internal capacity of enter/discharging opening of cup, and the second grid 117a and 117b give prominence to and face one another from the inside face of enter/discharging opening of cup.
Be similar to the embodiment that Fig. 2 describes, cup part 12 comprises many rib 111a, and their direct forming are 17 inner side outstanding to the internal capacity of barrel at the bottom of cup.Each rib 111a define at the bottom of cup 17 and flow elernent between many sulculuses road 112a and 112b, for the beverage that leaches is out transported to cup enter/discharging opening 16a.
In the specific embodiment shown in Fig. 5, different from cover part 3, cover part and comprise coffee in powder form and the assembly set of flow elernent between the meticulous tank circuit is not set.Generation, on the bottom side of cover part 13, be provided with sparse several rib 111b, for produce very little space between cover part and coffee in powder form.But clearly, the meticulous tank circuit still can be set and replace this structure, as above with reference to described in cover part 3.
Advantageously, barrel 11 comprises valve system, for regulating the fluid stream of the enter/discharging opening 16a that flows through cup.This valve system is specially designed for being applied to enter/discharging opening of this cup, but they also can not only be applied to the enter/discharging opening of cup of barrel of the present invention but also can be used for lid enter/discharging opening, or being only applied to enter/discharging opening of lid, this depends on the functional requirement of barrel.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, valve system is contained in 15 li of annular recess that are shaped around perforate 113a and covers perforate 113a.For this purpose, the thickness at the cup end 17 preferably becomes from enter/discharging opening of circumferential cup 16a to be thickeied gradually, to allow to be shaped recess 15.
This valve system preferably comprises a rubber (for example silaatic), closing plate rubber like, artificial rubber or plastics or disk, and on it, be shaped a little slit or aperture, penetrate the top surface of closing plate in its basal surface.If not having axle pressure to put on this slit of this closing plate is gas tight seal, if and applied axle pressure, as the pressure of the osmotic fluid that leaches out from coffee in powder form, a part for closing plate widens slit with regard to warpage slightly, so just allows the beverage that osmotic fluid namely leaches out to pass through.
According to the specific embodiment of describing in Fig. 5, this valve system comprises the rubber gasket sheet or the disk 116 that lean against 15 li of recesses, thereby the perforate 113a of its enter/discharging opening of gastight closing cup play the effect of an active clapboard.Although closing plate 116 is illustrated as and leans against simply 15 li of recesses, be optionally bonded in recess or fixed it with known technical method.
In order supporting to be provided to the flow elernent that is wrapping coffee in powder form and for a beverage that leaches is out transported to closing plate 116, at the bottom of a pad 119 is advantageously arranged on glass on 17 and in the upstream of closing plate 116.
The special three-dimensional Section View with reference to Fig. 7, the pad 119 of its expression comprises a bottom surface, it faces closing plate 116 and its shape defines the many fluids connection tank circuits 319 between pad and closing plate, and for this purpose, the bottom surface of pad 119 comprises several ribs 219 of radial directed.
The end face of pad 119 comprises the multiple vallums for supporting coffee-filter element assembly, and these vallums are sized to make the thickness of pad 119 to be substantially equal to the height of the rib 111a of cup part 12.
In the each alternative embodiment not representing in each figure, pad can comprise several through holes that osmotic fluid can be transported to rubber gasket sheet, or can by any other, the bearing set that the coffee in powder form of ampoule can be divided in to rubber gasket sheet forms, such as below by those devices of describing in Figure 27 of explanation.
But in another embodiment, valve system does not comprise independent pad.For example, the 3rd embodiment that comprises such replacing valve door gear of the present invention only comprises closing plate or the disk made with rubber, rubber like, artificial rubber or any elastomeric material.
Specifically, with reference to Fig. 6, the barrel 21 of the 3rd preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a columniform cup part 22, it comprise glass at the bottom of 27, sidewall 28 and an open end, cover part 23 is buckled on open end, thereby forms the internal capacity of barrel.The same with previously described barrel, the coffee in powder form of the in-built once consumption of this barrel and corresponding flow elernent, but for the sake of simplicity, in Fig. 6, they are not showed.
Cover part 23 comprises enter/discharging opening of the lid of conventionally closing 26b, and its constructional feature identical with the cover part 13 illustrating substantially.
Be similar to closing plate 116, the centre of closing plate 126 comprises a slit penetrating 128, and this slit is normally closed, and it can slightly be widened and allow osmotic fluid to pass through in the process of leaching beverage.
In order to support coffee in powder form and the flow elernent of ampoule, closing plate 126 preferably comprises several vallums 129, these vallum direct forming are on the end face of closing plate 126, and it is shaped as, and directly from coffee-filter assemblies, the fluid of tank circuit outflow that flow out and that limit from vallum 121 provides path.
So, if closing plate to be similar to the above-mentioned mode enter/discharging opening that is applied to lid, comprise that the barrel of such closing plate does not need to use any device, the diaphragm that maybe can puncture such as film, the enter/discharging opening of enter/discharging opening or lid that stops up cup.Meanwhile, after leaching process finishes, the unexpected decline of internal pressure can make slit turn back to initial quiescence, and this can prevent residual fluid in the contingent barrel phenomenon from wherein oozing.
Above-mentioned closing plate protects barrel to avoid the impact of adverse environment except working as valve; allow the fluid that barrel Exhaust Gas and permission leach out to fall after leaching simultaneously; it also allows to be filled with from the outside liquid inert gas at packing stage (MAP) hollow needle; to adjust the internal state of this material capsule, and can deposit the long period.After being pulled out for the bobbin that is filled with gas, this rubber gasket sheet can rely on the elasticity of self automatically to close the slit on it.Pin used can be the pin that forms equally above-mentioned slit for puncture through seal plate.
Simultaneously, another significant advantage that this closing plate of the present invention brings is: can greatly improve formation and stability on the end face of leaching beverage out, that can perceive the butterfat froth bed obtaining, when according to flash distillation coffee extract access method coffee soaking, this butterfat froth bed normally uses Italian title " crema " to express.
Can obtain the heterogeneous beverage of the froth bed being formed by little bubble with flash distillation leaching method, little bubble disperses very fine and smoothly, on the end face of its emulsion in many compositions aqueous system at microcosmic oil droplet, form typical characteristic brave tail shape pattern, with the floating bubble and the particulate matter that disperse.
The formation of foam is relevant, also relevant with the many phenomenons that caused by flash distillation leaching method with the surfactant naturally existing in coffee.
The supernatant foam of flash distillation coffee or title crema are extremely important organoleptic attributes, and are marks distinguishing flash distillation coffee and other coffee preparation method.
As everyone knows, foam characteristic is intact preparation method's symbol, and any difference (pressure, time of penetration and/or beverage volume of the fine grinding degree of for example coffee, the temperature of water, water etc.) or any change mixture of for example coffee (, cure situation etc.) all will directly affect color, morphological feature and the persistence of flash distillation foam.
As mentioned above, the valve system of preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises closing plate or the disk of at least one rubber or rubber like, has a slit penetrating on it, and the size of slit is very little, and for example, it only has 0.1 to 0.5mm in the time being opened.Have been found that the denseness and the stability that force the coffee being leached can greatly increase coffee top layer foam by this slit.This phenomenon is very favorable, because pack such element that weight is quite light and simple in structure into by collection, just can reach a kind of important result of the speciality that can characterize flash distillation coffee beverage.
And, to become one with barrel owing to being used to form the rubber gasket sheet of top layer foam, and barrel is generally once to use just to discard afterwards, so can guarantee that leaching flash distillation coffee out has top-quality surfactant foam layer, and on existing flash distillation coffee machine, the formation of strengthening top layer foam is realized by the constructional delails of coffee machine, those parts are for various leaching processes, with for a long time, they can make the Quality Down of leaching coffee beverage out.
