Support component 6 and nozzle 10 can be made up of single main body, such as by the injection of plastics Forming process is constituted.

It should be pointed out that, due to the support component 6 being provided with supply orifice 19 and passage 20, During the injection device of dispensation machines allocation step during preparation process and subsequently not with Initial product P and/or contact with mixture/final products B.In other words, including injection dress The supply loop of the machine put is not made dirty by initial product and/or final products or pollutes, and this is true Protect the health of assigning process and the quality of the final products of every sub-distribution, save its sense organ Characteristic.

The operation in dispensation machines of the capsule 1 of the present invention or use achieve in the first operating procedure In D1, fluid F passes through the opening 21 of nozzle 10 in the transmission within cavity 5.Nozzle 10 example As by the injection device supply of dispensation machines, described injection device can penetrate cap member 8 and Engage supply orifice 19.

In this step, the inert atmosphere in cavity 5 and/or gas can pass through passage 20 Leaving, passage 20 is also opened by the injection device of dispensation machines.

The fluid F introduced by the multiple jets by opening 21 can be with initial product P phase Interaction is to be slowly formed final products B (usually beverage).In this step, capsule 1 Shell 2 is in initially in structure K (that is it and be uncompressed or flatten) and the end of nozzle 10b is engaged in a sealing fashion, is inserted in out in stream part 30, now described in go out to flow part 30 It is complete.

Once have been obtained for final products B, experienced by Preset Time and/or delivered default After the fluid F of amount, in the second operating procedure D2, isolate sky by closing passage 20 Chamber 5 is also compressed step by step along direction A and flattens shell 2, in order to nozzle 10 can be pierced through out Stream part 30 (especially, base wall 32) also leaves from cavity 5.

Owing to the Part I 11 of nozzle 10 is in a sealing fashion against the annular wall going out to flow part 30 31 and going out to flow annular wall 31 internal slide of part 30, final products B the most only can lead to Cross described other opening 22 to leave from cavity 5, and subsequently, when nozzle extends to step by step It is in the opening 21 outside cavity 5 and leaves from cavity 5 by becoming during capsule 1 outside.

Owing to cavity 5 is closed (passage 20 is closed), by flattening and compression shell 2, Forced the final products B contained in cavity 5 by being positioned at opening within cavity 5 by pressure Mouth 21 leaves.

By continuing compression and flattening that shell 2 is carried out, by the Part II 12 of nozzle 10 It is inserted into out in stream part 30, thus opens for making final products B fully out from capsule 1 Passage (Fig. 6).

If the volume of cavity 5 is corresponding to the final volume in consumer containers to be assigned to, then exist By the injection device of dispensation machines, nozzle 10 is not supplied with separately during second operating procedure D2 Outer fluid F.

On the other hand, if the volume of capsule 1 is less than the final volume in consumer containers to be assigned to Volume, then nozzle 10 is supplied with separately by injection device during the second operating procedure D2 Outer fluid F.Described other fluid F is directly distributed to consumer containers 100 to incite somebody to action Finished product B is diluted to expect concentration.

Same it should be pointed out that, for initial diafiltration product or infusion product (such as, example As, tea or Herb Tea or preserved material), nozzle 10 acts approximately as filter, because opening 21 Insoluble by initial product P in the second operation allocation step D2 as disclosed above Granule and main body (such as Folium Camelliae sinensis or coffee grounds) to preserve and be locked in cavity 5 internal, and this A little openings 21 make the final products B thus obtained to leave.

Nozzle 10 is furthermore enable in the case of without user manpower intervention make almost Insoluble or the product that can dissolve lentamente and/or containing thickening agent and/or the product of stabilizer Product or cryodesiccated or dehydration product fully dissolve and dissolve, in order to obtain dense or The final products (such as chocolate) of thickness, described final products fully dissolve and the most solidifying Block and caking.In allocation step (the second operating procedure D2) period, when shell 2 is compressed and presses Time flat, the mixture of initial product P and fluid F is in fact forced through the opening of nozzle 10 21, and it is mixed in such a way, dissolved and is dissolved.

The opening on nozzle 10 can be properly selected according to the type of initial product P and composition Size, shape, inclination, quantity and the layout of 21.

The capsule 1 of the present invention also has and directly distributes final products B to consumer containers 100 (cup Son, glass, etc.) in and without the advantage at perforated beneath.By compression and flattening capsule 1 (that is shell 2), the part 30 that goes out to flow of diapire 3 is opened and makes final products B by nozzle 10 Can be left by other opening 22 in a controlled manner and directly be entered by opening 21 subsequently Enter in consumer containers.

Therefore the capsule 1 of the present invention can use not having in the dispensation machines of dispensing loop, because of Be not required to be suitable for pierce through bottom it for this capsule so that the extraction element that can leave of beverage or Person for being delivered to consumer containers (such as mug, cup, glass, etc.) by beverage Plumbing installation.

There is not dispensing loop make dispensation machines simpler and less expensive and further ensure that The health of assigning process and the quality of beverage distributed are safeguarded, because at the drink distributed subsequently Pollution between material is impossible.

The another advantage of capsule 1 is, it need not special packing, because diapire 3 With going out to flow part 30, cavity 5 is tightly insulated with external environment condition, in order to protection initial product P.
