Description

DISPOSITIF POUR L'INSERTION DE CAPSULES  DEVICE FOR INSERTING CAPSULES
Domaine de l'invention Field of the invention
La présente invention concerne la production d'une boisson par passage d'eau chaude au travers d'une capsule contenant une dose de produit, p.ex. de café.  The present invention relates to the production of a beverage by passing hot water through a capsule containing a dose of product, eg coffee.
Etat de la technique State of the art
On connaît des machines à café, voir p.ex. celle qui est décrite dans EP 2 103 236 A1 , qui comprennent un dispositif pour l'insertion de capsule. Ce dispositif comprend un passage au travers duquel la capsule est introduite. La section de ce passage est légèrement plus grande que la section de la capsule. Par « section », on entend la surface définie selon un plan qui contient l'axe de symétrie de la capsule.  There are known coffee machines, see for example those described in EP 2,103,236 A1, which comprise a device for capsule insertion. This device comprises a passage through which the capsule is introduced. The section of this passage is slightly larger than the section of the capsule. By "section" is meant the surface defined along a plane which contains the axis of symmetry of the capsule.
Une fois introduite, la capsule se trouve dans une position dite position d'extraction.  Once introduced, the capsule is in a position called extraction position.
Le passage est donc dimensionné de manière à guider aisément la capsule jusqu'à sa position d'extraction. The passage is dimensioned so as to guide the capsule easily to its extraction position.
Les dispositifs d'insertion de capsule de l'état de la technique présentent cependant l'inconvénient de ne pas assurer un positionnement ferme de la capsule lors de son introduction dans la machine.  The capsule insertion devices of the state of the art however have the disadvantage of not ensuring a firm positioning of the capsule during its introduction into the machine.
Ce type d'inconvénient s'observe également dans certains dispositifs qui possèdent un passage similaire à celui exposé précédemment mais disposé entre la position d'extraction et le lieu de récupération de la capsule. This type of disadvantage is also observed in certain devices that have a passage similar to that previously exposed but disposed between the extraction position and the capsule recovery location.
Cet inconvénient résulte du fait que la section du passage est légèrement supérieure à celle des capsules. This disadvantage results from the fact that the section of the passage is slightly greater than that of the capsules.
Il existe donc un besoin de remédier notamment à ce problème. There is therefore a need to remedy this problem in particular.
Exposé général de l'invention General presentation of the invention
Le problème que la présente invention se propose de résoudre réside dans une amélioration du positionnement de la capsule lors de son introduction dans la machine et/ou lors de son éjection de sa position d'extraction. L'invention tire parti du fait que la plupart des capsules possèdent une paroi latérale dotée d'une certaine flexibilité. Il est donc possible de déformer sensiblement la paroi de ces capsules sans les détruire, et donc d'assurer un guidage optimal de la capsule dans la machine. The problem that the present invention proposes to solve lies in an improvement in the positioning of the capsule during its introduction into the machine and / or when it is ejected from its extraction position. The invention takes advantage of the fact that most capsules have a sidewall with a certain flexibility. It is therefore possible to substantially deform the wall of these capsules without destroying them, and thus to ensure optimal guidance of the capsule in the machine.
La présente invention a donc pour objet un dispositif pour l'insertion et/ou l'éjection de capsules, p. ex. à café, comprenant un passage au travers duquel la capsule est transférée et qui se caractérise par une section inférieure à la section de la capsule. The present invention therefore relates to a device for the insertion and / or ejection of capsules, e.g. ex. coffee machine, comprising a passage through which the capsule is transferred and which is characterized by a section smaller than the section of the capsule.
Divers modes de réalisation de l'invention sont décrits dans les revendications. Various embodiments of the invention are described in the claims.

L'invention est décrite plus en détail ci-après au moyen d'exemples illustrés par les figures suivantes :  The invention is described in more detail below by means of examples illustrated by the following figures:
La figure 1 représente une vue de dessus d'une capsule avant et après avoir franchi un passage.  Figure 1 shows a top view of a capsule before and after crossing a passage.
La figure 2 représente une capsule avant son transfert à travers le passage.  Figure 2 shows a capsule before its transfer through the passage.
La figure 3 représente une capsule dans sa position au travers du passage.  Figure 3 shows a capsule in its position through the passage.
Les figures 4 à 6 représentent les étapes successives de l'introduction d'une capsule au moyen d'un levier.  Figures 4 to 6 show the successive steps of the introduction of a capsule by means of a lever.
Les figures 7 à 9 représentent les étapes successives de l'introduction d'une capsule à travers un passage présentant un agencement particulier. Figures 7 to 9 show the successive steps of introducing a capsule through a passage having a particular arrangement.
Les figures 1 0 à 1 2 représentent les étapes successives de l'introduction d'une capsule à travers un passage dont la section a un contour modifiable.  Figures 1 0 to 1 2 show the successive steps of the introduction of a capsule through a passage whose section has an editable contour.
Les figures 1 3 à 1 5 illustrent un mécanisme d'introduction de capsule au travers d'un passage. Les figures 1 6 à 18 illustrent une variante dans laquelle le passage de section réduite est disposé entre la position d'extraction et le lieu de récupération de la capsule. Figures 1-3 to 15 illustrate a capsule introduction mechanism through a passageway. Figures 1 6 to 18 illustrate a variant in which the reduced section passage is disposed between the extraction position and the recovery location of the capsule.

14. Logement La figure 1 représente une plaque 1 1 , 12 (figure du milieu) dans laquelle est disposé un passage 2 dont la section est inférieure à la section d'une capsule 1 à l'état normal (figure de gauche). Plus précisément, le passage 2 a une hauteur sensiblement identique à la hauteur d'une capsule 1 et une largeur réduite par rapport à la largeur de la capsule 1 . La zone de largeur réduite constitue une zone de déformation 3 de la capsule.  14. Housing Figure 1 shows a plate 1 1, 12 (middle figure) in which is disposed a passage 2 whose section is smaller than the section of a capsule 1 in the normal state (left figure). More specifically, the passage 2 has a height substantially identical to the height of a capsule 1 and a reduced width relative to the width of the capsule 1. The zone of reduced width constitutes a deformation zone 3 of the capsule.
Une fois le passage 2 franchi, la capsule 1 est déformée (figure de droite) et sa section sensiblement identique à la section du passage 2.  Once the passage 2 crossed, the capsule 1 is deformed (right figure) and its section substantially identical to the section of the passage 2.
La plaque 1 1 , 1 2 peut être disposée à un niveau supérieur, càd en amont de la position d'extraction, ou à un niveau inférieur, soit en aval de la position d'extraction. Bien évidemment, seules des capsules présentant une certaine flexibilité, càd des capsules aptes à subir une déformation élastique ou plastique suffisante, peuvent franchir le passage sans être endommagées. Si le coefficient de rigidité de la capsule est trop élevé, la capsule ne peut franchir le passage. Les figures 4 à 5 illustrent une variante de l'invention dans laquelle le transfert de la capsule 1 au travers du passage 2 est assuré par un levier. The plate 1 1, 1 2 may be disposed at a higher level, ie upstream of the extraction position, or at a lower level, or downstream of the extraction position. Of course, only capsules having a certain flexibility, ie capsules capable of undergoing elastic or plastic deformation sufficient, can cross the passage without being damaged. If the coefficient of rigidity of the capsule is too high, the capsule can not cross the passage. Figures 4 to 5 illustrate a variant of the invention in which the transfer of the capsule 1 through the passage 2 is provided by a lever.
Dans la variante illustrée sur les figures 7 à 9 les zones de déformation se présentent sous la forme de galets 5 rotatifs dont l'axe de rotation est situé dans le plan défini par la plaque 1 1 . In the variant illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 9, the deformation zones are in the form of rotating rollers whose axis of rotation lies in the plane defined by the plate 11.
Dans les variantes 1 0 à 1 2 et 1 6 à 1 8, les zones de déformation se présentent sous la forme de plaquettes 6 mobiles pouvant coulisser au travers d'éléments de guidage 1 3 disposés vers le bord du passage 2. In the variants 1 0 to 1 2 and 1 6 to 1 8, the deformation zones are in the form of movable plates 6 slidable through guide elements 1 3 disposed towards the edge of the passage 2.
Le mouvement des plaquettes 6 peut être retenu au moyen d'un élément de retenue 7 fixé au levier 4. The movement of the plates 6 can be retained by means of a retaining element 7 fixed to the lever 4.
La variante illustrée sur les figures 1 3 à 1 5 représente un tambour 1 1 comportant au moins un logement destiné à recevoir temporairement une capsule 1 . Initialement, une nouvelle capsule 1 est introduite dans le logement 14. Le tambour 1 1 effectue ensuite une rotation, en général de 1 80 °, lors de laquelle la capsule 1 franchit le passage 2. The variant illustrated in FIGS. 1 3 to 1 5 represents a drum January 1 comprising at least one housing intended to temporarily receive a capsule 1. Initially, a new capsule 1 is introduced into the housing 14. The drum 1 1 then performs a rotation, generally 1 80 °, during which the capsule 1 passes through the passage 2.
Le mode de réalisation des figures 1 6 à 1 8 représentent une section réduite disposée dans une plaque inférieure 1 2. The embodiment of FIGS. 16 to 18 show a reduced section disposed in a lower plate 12.
Dans ce cas, le passage 1 0 disposé dans la plaque supérieure 1 1 comporte une section sensiblement identique à la section de la capsule, càd une section dépourvue de zone de déformation.  In this case, the passage 1 0 disposed in the upper plate 1 1 has a section substantially identical to the section of the capsule, ie a section devoid of deformation zone.
L'élément de retenue 7 présente un angle de manière à libérer les plaquettes 6 une fois le levier complètement abaissé. Bien évidemment d'autres géométries de section réduite peuvent être util avec la plaque inférieure 12, comme p. ex. celles des figures 1 à 9. The retaining element 7 has an angle so as to release the plates 6 once the lever is fully lowered. Obviously other reduced section geometries can be used with the lower plate 12, as p. ex. those of Figures 1 to 9.
II va sans dire que l'invention ne se limite pas à une forme de section particulière mais à toute section permettant d'obtenir l'effet recherché. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to a particular sectional shape but to any section to obtain the desired effect.
