Abstract

一种用于插入容器（1），例如咖啡容器的设备，包括通道（2），容器通过该通道（2）传送，并且其特征在于，该通道的横截面小于容器的横截面。

Description

用于插入容器的设备
技术领域
本发明涉及通过使热水贯穿包含一份产品（例如咖啡）的容器而制备饮料。
背景技术
咖啡机是已知的，例如参见EP 2103236A1中描述的咖啡机，其包括用于插入容器的设备。该设备包括通过其引入容器的通道。该通道的横截面稍微大于容器的横截面。“横截面”理解为表示根据包含容器的对称轴的平面限定的区域。
一旦容器被引入，其就位于被指定为提取位置的位置中。
因此，通道被设定尺寸，以便容易地引导容器直至其提取位置。
然而，现有技术的容器插入设备的缺点在于不能确保容器在其引入到机器时的牢固定位。
这种类型的缺点也可以在以下某些设备中观察到：这些设备具有与前述通道类似但布置在提取位置和容器的回收位置之间的通道。
这样的缺点导致以下情况：通道的横截面稍大于容器的横截面。
因此，特别存在一种补救该问题的需要。
发明内容
本发明意图解决的问题在于改进容器在其引入进机器和/或在其从其提取位置排出时的定位。
本发明建立于以下事实：多数容器具有侧壁，该侧壁设置有一定的柔韧性。因此，可能在不毁坏容器的情况下基本上使容器壁变形，并因而可能确保将容器有利地引导到机器中。
因此，作为目标，本发明具有一种用于插入和/或排出容器（例如，咖啡容器）的设备，其包括通道，通过该通道传送容器，并且其特征在于，该通道的横截面小于容器的横截面。
在权利要求书中将描述本发明的各个实施方式。
附图说明
借助于通过以下附图图示的例子，更加详细地描述本发明：
图1表示在穿过通道之前和之后的容器的俯视图。
图2表示容器在其传送通过通道之前。
图3表示容器处于其通过通道的位置中。
图4-6表示借助于杠杆引入容器的连续步骤。
图7-9表示通过具有特定布置的通道引入容器的连续步骤。
图10-12表示容器通过通道引入的连续步骤，该通道的横截面具有可修改的轮廓。
图13-15示出了通过通道的容器引入机械装置。
图16-18示出了一个变型，其中具有减小的横截面的通道布置在容器的提取位置和回收位置之间。
参考标号列单：
1.容器
2.通道
3.变形区
4.杠杆
5.辊子
6.小板
7.止动元件
8.鼓状物
9.下通道
10.上通道
11.上板
12.下板
13.引导元件
14.外罩
具体实施方式
图1表示板11、12（中图），通道2布置在其中，在正常状态下（左图）通道2的横截面小于容器1的横截面。更精确地，通道2的高度基本上与容器1的高度相同，并且宽度相对于容器1的宽度减小。宽度减小的区域构成容器的变形区3。
一旦通道2被穿过，容器1变形（右图）并且其横截面基本上与通道2的横截面相同。
板11、12可以布置在上层，即，提取位置的上游，或者在下层，即，提取位置的下游。
明显地，仅具有某种柔韧性的容器，即能够承受足够弹性或塑性变形的容器能够在不损坏的情况下穿过通道。如果容器的刚性系数太高，容器则不能穿过通道。
图4和5示出了本发明的变型，其中容器1通过通道2的传送由杠杆确保。
在图7-9所示的变型中，变形区以旋转辊子5的形式出现，旋转辊子的旋转轴位于板11限定的平面中。
在变型10-12和16-18中，变形区以可移动小板6的形式出现，该可移动小板6能够滑动通过朝向通道2的边缘布置的引导元件13。
小板6的移动能够借助于固定至杠杆4的止动元件7停止。
图13-15示出的变型表示鼓状物11，其包括用于临时容纳容器1的至少一个外罩。开始，将新的容器1引入外罩14中。然后，鼓状物11进行旋转，一般旋转180°，旋转期间，容器1穿过通道2。
图16-18的实施方式表示布置在下板12中的减小的横截面。
在这种情况下，布置在上板11中的通道10包括基本上与容器的横截面（即没有变形区的横截面）相同的横截面。
止动元件7具有一旦杠杆完全降低就释放小板6的角度。
明显地，可以将减小的横截面的其他几何形状与下板12一起使用，如图1-9的那些实例所示。
不用多言，本发明并不限于特定的横截面形状，而是允许获得所要效果的任何横截面。
