Description

饮料传送容器及使用和制造的方法
技术领域
文中描述了饮料传送容器(delivery pod)，且特别是包含一种或多种成分以用于饮料制备的密封饮料传送容器。
背景技术
单用饮料调制系统可具有调制机，其构造成接收经过滤的容器，该容器包含诸如咖啡或茶的一种或多种饮料成分的单用部分。调制机可构造成使经加热的水经过容器而形成且从其分配饮料。机器可构造成穿透容器顶部以将水注入容器中，以及穿透容器底部以容许饮料离开容器。用于水注入和饮料离开的容器穿透可能不是对于所有应用所期望的。
饮料容器可以由各种不同的材料且以各种不同的方式来构造，其并非全部导致具成本效益的制造和处置，且其并非全部适用于不同的饮料调制系统中。一些饮料容器例如可能在装配期间需要内部元件的复杂操纵。其它的饮料容器可能需要复杂的内部注射模制构件。还已知饮料容器由可能不期望地增加其成本的材料制造。
发明内容
提供了一种包含一种或多种饮料成分的容器，其中该容器包括：大体刚性的外部部件，其带有开口顶部和在底部中的出口开口，带有邻近外部部件的底部部分的内部过滤器，一种或多种饮料成分设置在过滤器上方；以及盖，其闭合开口顶部。外部部件具有外围侧壁，其限定开口顶部，并且从开口顶部朝底部部分向下延伸且朝出口开口向内会聚。侧壁的底部部分限定了在外部部件的内部朝出口开口向内延伸的多个肋。饮料出口流路设置在相邻肋之间且指向出口开口。过滤器(其可为基本平坦的)被肋支撑在出口开口和饮料出口流路上方。
为了便于过滤器的附接，侧壁包括围绕其外围基本上与肋的顶部表面部分共面的向内台阶，以限定附连表面，过滤器可例如通过使用粘附剂或通过焊接而附连到该附连表面。虽然大的附连表面可简化过滤器的附连，但是如果太大，则过滤器的更多区域会被阻挡，由此减少自由流通区域。在一个方面，附连到附连表面的过滤器具有在大约3∶1和4∶1之间、更优选地在大约3.2∶1和3.7∶1之间、且甚至更优选地大约3.4∶1的自由流通区域与阻挡流通区域的比值。
为了增加过滤器的表面区域，包括自由流通区域，过滤器可为圆锥形，包括截头圆锥形构型，面向上或向下。这可通过将肋的顶部表面部分构造成以倾斜方式朝出口开口向内延伸来实现，使得附连表面的面积比如果肋的顶部表面和其上的过滤器精确共面时更大。
侧壁的底部部分可具有半圆形或穹形轮廓，其可至少部分地由出口流路的曲线底壁限定。出口流路还可由设置在每个底壁的相对侧上的直立内部侧壁节段界定。这些相同侧壁节段还可形成相邻肋的侧壁节段。
侧壁的底部部分，包括其为半圆形或穹形轮廓，可被构造成使得在使用中，容器至少部分地在用于分配饮料的位置被接收在饮料调制装置的调制隔间中，在该位置，侧壁的底部部分与调制隔间的直立穿透元件间隔开。即，侧壁的底部部分不必被穿透以分配饮料。在一个方面，底部部分的高度在容器总高度的大约20％和30％之间，更优选地为容器总高度的大约25％。在另一方面，出口开口可被侧壁的基本平坦节段围绕。基本平坦节段的直径与邻近饮料成分隔间的侧壁的最大直径之间的比值可在大约1∶3.7和1∶4.7之间。
用于形成饮料传送容器的材料可以选择成便于经济制造和/或循环利用。在一个方面，盖可形成于非金属多层膜上。通过省略金属层，盖可在使用后更容易地从外部部件移除以清空剩余饮料成分并且循环利用盖和/或外部部件。在另一方面，外部部件可由基于谷物的可生物降解材料形成。在又一方面，盖和/或外部部件可由缺乏增强抗渗性的材料形成。替代地，一个或多个容器可设在外部包装物内，例如柔性包装物，其可提供与容器的盖和/或外部部件的抗渗性相比更好的抗渗性。
还提供了一种在文中描述的任意一种容器中分配由饮料成分制成的饮料的方法。该方法包括：将容器插入饮料调制装置的调制隔间中；在盖中形成开口；以及通过盖中的开口注入含水介质到容器的饮料成分隔间中，由此，含水介质与一种或多种饮料成分相互作用而形成饮料。该方法还包括将饮料通过过滤器过滤，随后从饮料传送容器分配饮料穿过出口开口。该方法包括：在将其插入调制隔间中的步骤之前，可选地向容器提供呈未阻挡构型的出口开口，使得所得饮料可离开容器而不需要外部部件的底部部分被穿透。
还提供一种文中描述的任意一种饮料传送容器的制造方法。该方法包括：提供外部部件；将过滤器插入外部部件中；将过滤器附连到外部部件的底部部分中的肋且到围绕肋的侧壁的至少基本外围部分；将一种或多种饮料成分置于过滤器上方的外部部件内；以及在一种或多种饮料成分上方将盖附连到外部部件，以闭合饮料成分隔间。

具体实施方式
如图1至7中整体或部分地示出的，饮料传送容器10大体包括：外部部件12，用于包含一种或多种饮料成分18；过滤器16，支撑在外部部件12的底部部分中；以及盖14，闭合外部部件12的顶部部分。在使用中，饮料传送容器10被构造成使其盖14被穿透而形成开口，通过该开口引入含水介质，通常是水。一种或多种饮料成分可以是例如烘培及研磨的咖啡或茶叶。其它示例性饮料成分包括液体咖啡、巧克力或其组合。该含水介质与容器10中的一种或多种饮料成分18混合而形成饮料，其通过过滤器16并通过设置在外部部件12底部部分中的出口开口34被分配。
示例性实施例的饮料传送容器10构造成容许饮料的分配而不需要外部部件12被穿透。替代地，饮料被容许流出设置在外部部件12底部部分中的出口开口34，如图7所示。示例性实施例的饮料传送容器10还构造成便于制造，包括提供被支撑在出口开口34上方的抬高位置的锥形过滤器16。示例性实施例的饮料传送容器10进一步构造成使用可易于循环利用的削减成本构件。
首先转到饮料传送容器10的构型，外部部件12大致为环形杯的形状，如图1至4所示。外部部件12包括外部侧壁20及其底部部分，外部侧壁20形成饮料传送容器10的径向向外边界。侧壁包括外围凸缘22，其从侧壁22的上部节段26的顶部边缘径向向外延伸，如图1中所示，且围绕容器10的开口顶部。外围凸缘22提供了表面，盖14的外围部分抵靠该表面密封。直径在定位于侧壁20的上部节段26的下部边缘处的向内延伸的上部台阶28处减小。侧壁20的中间节段30从上部台阶28的径向向内边缘向下延伸至下部台阶32的向外边缘。下部台阶32位于侧壁20从中间节段30向下部穹形底部部分24(其代表外部部件12的底部)的过渡处。
上部节段26、中间节段30和底部部分24均连续地向内渐缩，上部和中间节段26和30的锥度基本恒定，且底部部分24的锥度增加，使得外部部件12和因此容器10的直径从顶部向底部减小。这种渐缩构型可便于外部部件12在制造期间从模具的退出，并且便于饮料机内的插入和定位。台阶28和32可用于增加外部部件12的环箍强度，由此容许厚度和因此用于形成外部部件12的材料量被最小化。台阶28和32中的一者或两者还可在填充操作期间便于定位和支撑。
外部部件12的侧壁20的底部部分24包括多个隆起的向内延伸的肋36，如图2至4中所示。肋36围绕出口开口34，如图4所示。流通道设置在肋36之间，其至少部分限定通过其的出口流路，在使用中，饮料可在流向出口开口34期间穿过过滤器16的下游。肋36和散布的流通道是关于外部部件12的内部。当从外部观察时，肋36呈现为槽且流通道的边界呈现为被槽分开的突出元件。虽然图中示出了六个肋36和流通道，但是也可采用其它数量，例如两个或优选地三个或更多肋以及对应数量的流通道。
肋36始于下部台阶32的向内边缘，且每个均由一对向内延伸的侧壁节段40和向内前壁42限定，如图4所示。每个肋36还具有大致平坦的顶部表面44。肋36的顶部表面44基本与下部台阶32的向内表面共面，使得下部台阶32的向内表面形成环绕肋36的环，其目的将在下文中描述。
流通道也始于下部台阶32的向内边缘，且每个均由曲线底壁38在其底部上且由与限定相邻肋36相同的侧壁节段40在其侧部上界定。曲线底壁38用于引导饮料穿过过滤器以大体顺利的方式流向出口开口34，例如，没有阻碍或流动方向的改变。流通道各自被引导至设置于出口开口34周围的共同空间，在此，流可碰撞并组合而形成一股或多股离开出口开口34的饮料流，如图7所示。其中一些曲线底壁38组合而提供外部部件12的侧壁20的底部部分24的穹形外观，例如当如图1所示在侧视图中观察时。
下部台阶32的向内表面和肋36的顶部表面44联合形成基本平坦的表面，过滤器16可固接至该表面。至少部分基本平坦的表面充当附连表面，其是过滤器16以阻止流在附连表面通过过滤器的方式所附接的部分。固接可使用粘接、焊接或其它合适的附连方式。到下部台阶32的向内表面的附连优选地基本连续，且更优选地完全连续，使得即使不是全部，大部分饮料也必须在通过出口开口34离开之前穿过过滤器16。肋36的顶部表面44可帮助在出口开口34上方的抬高位置支撑过滤器16，以提供过滤器16的充分分散区域，使得饮料穿过过滤器16的更多未附连表面区域，而不会高度集中在出口开口34正上方或邻近其的区域(如果过滤器不被支撑在下部台阶32内部)。然而，附连表面可阻挡流体流通过过滤器16的直接邻近部分。该附连表面优选地最小化至某一程度，使得过滤器16仍然留有大部分表面区域未附连，即没有被附连表面阻挡，同时仍在饮料分配过程中的增压和过滤期间提供足够的支撑，以将过滤器16维持在其抬高位置。在优选实施例中，过滤器16具有在大约3∶1和4∶1之间、更优选地在大约3.2∶1和3.7∶1之间、甚至更优选地大约3.4∶1的自由流通区域与阻挡流通区域的比值。更大的未阻挡表面区域可引起迫使饮料通过过滤器的减小压力需求。
为了增加过滤器16的未阻挡表面区域，过滤器可呈锥形布置。即，过滤器16的中心部分并不精确地与其外围共面，而可以是锥形，包括截头圆锥形。例如，过滤器16可具有向其中心部分倾斜的角度，在大约10和15或20度之间，更优选地在大约20和40度之间，且在示例性实施例中，甚至更优选地大约30度。过滤器16可具有比其直径更小的高度。例如，具有37mm直径的过滤器的30度的倾斜角度可将过滤器16的总面积从1007mm2(如果精确地平面的话)增加到1165mm2。虽然锥形可以指向上或向下来增加表面积，但是优选地，该过滤器16的锥形向下指向出口开口34。过滤器可备选地为基本平坦的。
为了实现过滤器16的锥形，肋36的顶部表面44可以以与过滤器16所期望的相同或大致相同的倾斜角度向上或向下稍微倾斜。而且，肋36的顶部表面44可向内渐缩或变窄，使得过滤器16具有更少的朝向其中心部分的支撑或阻挡表面区域，饮料将倾向于在此离开。
现在转到饮料传送容器10的构件的材料和构造细节，示例性实施例中的外部部件12为薄壁、大体刚性的构造。“大体刚性”意味着该结构能够在正常操作期间大体保持其相应的形状，且如果变形也将趋向于朝其原始形状恢复。外部部件12优选地由可生物降解的聚合物材料构成，例如基于谷物的材料。合适的材料包括可降解的聚乙烯(例如，由英国伯翰伍德的Symphony Environmental供应的SPITEK)、可生物降解的聚酯胺(例如由Symphony Environmental供应的BAK1095)、聚乳酸(由美国明尼苏达州的Cargill供应的PLA)、淀粉基聚合物、纤维素衍生物和多肽。
过滤器16优选地由带有高湿强度的材料制成，例如无纺聚酯纤维材料。可使用的其它材料包括不透水的纤维素材料，例如包括纺织纤维纸的纤维素材料。纺织纤维纸可与聚丙烯、聚氯乙烯和/或聚乙烯的纤维混合。这些塑料材料到纤维素材料中的并入使得纤维素材料可热密封到肋36的表面部分44和下部台阶32的向内表面。过滤器16还可利用通过热量和/或压力激活的材料来处理或涂层，使得其可被密封至附连表面。
盖14优选为多层膜，由一个或多个聚丙烯(PP)或填充聚乙烯层和聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)层制成。在一个示例中，盖14可具有以下层：PP(大约25微米)、填充PP(大约60微米)、PP(大约25微米)以及PET(大约23微米)。优选地但非必须地，盖14没有金属层，例如铝箔层。这可容许盖更容易地从到外部部件12的侧壁20的凸缘22的附连移除，而不留下金属残余物。这可容许盖14在使用后从外部部件12移除，内容物倒掉或以其它方式移开，且外部部件12准备重复使用。
盖14和外部部件12均可以没有传统的屏障层。屏障层的排除可降低构件的成本。为了给饮料传送容器10的合适保存期提供抗渗性，可为两个或更多容器10中的一个或数组提供外部包装，例如外部包装物，其可呈流动包装膜的形式。
饮料传送容器10可构造成用于在饮料调制装置中使用，该饮料调制装置具有由外壁104限定的调制隔间100，如图7所示。容器10的外部部件12的外围凸缘22可被支撑在调制隔间100的外壁104的上部102上。容器10可构造成使得其当被完全插入到足以用于调制的程度时，不被隔间100的底壁106的底部穿透部件110穿透。外部部件12的侧壁20的底部24的出口开口34优选地打开，例如其不需要穿透。虽然其可完全打开，但是其也可最初闭合，例如利用在插入调制隔间100中之前可移除的标签，或者设置在容器10中以阻挡出口开口34直到被分配饮料、热或其它存在、非机械因素溶解的可溶解塞。
还提供了一种在文中描述的任意一种容器中分配由饮料成分制成的饮料的方法。该方法包括将容器10插入到饮料调制装置的调制隔间100中，例如通过使用入口穿透器112在盖14中形成一个开口，以及通过盖14中的开口和入口穿透器注入含水介质到容器10的饮料成分隔间中，由此，含水介质与一种或多种饮料成分18相互作用而形成饮料。该方法进一步包括将饮料通过过滤器16过滤，随后从饮料传送容器10分配饮料通过出口开口34进入调制隔间100中，并从调制隔间100通过其出口108。该方法包括：在将其插入调制隔间100中的步骤之前，可选地向容器10提供呈未阻挡构型的出口开口34，使得所得饮料可离开容器而不需要外部部件12的底部部分被穿透，例如通过与调制隔间100底部106相关联的穿透器110。
还提供一种制造文中描述的任意一种饮料传送容器10的方法。该方法可包括：提供外部部件12；将过滤器16插入外部部件12中；将过滤器16附连到外部部件的底部部分中的肋36且到围绕肋36的下部台阶32的向内表面的至少基本外围部分；将一种或多种饮料成分18置于过滤器16上方的外部部件12中；以及在一种或多种饮料成分18上方将盖14附连到外部部件12，以闭合饮料成分隔间。
根据前述内容将会了解，提供了饮料传送容器、使用方法和制造方法。然而，在不脱离文中描述及权利要求中阐述的范围的情况下，可由本领域技术人员对其做出众多修改和变型。
