Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a capsule for preparing a liquid food according to the preamble of independent claim 1 and a system comprising such a capsule.
  • capsules and systems for the preparation of liquid food, especially for home use known.
  • capsules which are known above all for the preparation of coffee, comprise a capsule body having a side wall, a bottom and a cover film for forming a closed chamber containing the coffee powder.
  • the capsule has an inlet and an outlet opening or is provided with such openings in the corresponding preparation machine. Since the preparation of the liquid food is carried out under pressure, the known capsule systems tend to dribble after extraction, which leads to an unsatisfactory contamination and favors the nucleation in the preparation machine.
  • the crema and mixed drinks of the foam is not or only insufficiently formed.
  • the US 2008/0028946 A1 describes a sleeve for receiving a water-soluble substance.
  • the sleeve is closed with an apertured lid and has an outlet opening at the bottom which is closed by a poppet valve.
  • the poppet valve is pushed outwards and releases the outlet opening. After the solution has drained from the sleeve, the outlet remains unclosed.
  • Such a one-sided open sleeve is not suitable for storing and extracting coffee or tea.
  • the aforementioned, generic CA 2,831,851 A1 describes a capsule with an acting as a valve action element which closes both an inlet opening, and an outlet opening on the capsule.
  • a pressure building up above the inlet opening initially releases the inlet opening and allows the penetration of liquid into the capsule.
  • the outlet opening is also released, so that the liquid flows through the substance in the capsule. After the extraction process, the outlet remains open.
  • Both capsule and the action element are complex and difficult to produce, because the latter must extend practically over the entire height of the capsule.
  • the post-published document WO 2014/167062 A1 describes a capsule with a spring-biased closing valve, which has no valve opening, but a piston-like closing an outlet opening of the capsule.
  • a capsule is to be provided which forms turbulence when extracting in the flow to obtain an optimal crema in coffee and mixed drinks optimal foam and which reduces or prevents dripping after the extraction of the liquid food.
  • the capsule has a cap covering the capsule body to form a closed chamber containing a substance for the preparation of a liquid food.
  • the capsule has an outlet opening for dispensing the liquid food in the region of the bottom.
  • the outlet opening is closed by a valve having a valve opening, wherein the valve comprises a shut-off body which is displaceably mounted in particular in the axial direction between a closing position and an opening position.
  • the valve opening is closed in the closed position and open in the open position.
  • the shut-off is inventively biased by a spring element in the closed position. Such a bias ensures that the shut-off can only be opened after overcoming a certain force resulting from the spring element. In addition, the shut-off moves automatically when the corresponding force is removed again in the closed position, so that dripping is excluded.
  • the spring element can be arranged outside the chamber.
  • the spring element may be a plate spring.
  • a plate spring is a particularly simple embodiment of a spring element which are produced inexpensively.
  • the plate spring can have slots extending in the radial direction, which influence the spring force.
  • the spring element may comprise a plurality of leaf springs which extend radially outwardly from a center.
  • Such a ausgestaltetes spring element is simple, for example, as a stamped and bent part, produced. Alternatively, however, it is also conceivable that this is a molded part, in particular made of plastic. Possible materials are for example polypropylene or polyoxymethylene.
  • the shut-off body may be integrally connected in the closed position by means of a predetermined breaking point with the ground. It goes without saying that the predetermined breaking point is broken after the first time moving the shut-off in the opening position and according to the shut-off is no longer connected to the ground. However, this does not hinder a new move to the closed position.
  • the one-piece design of the shut-off body with the bottom for example, an aroma-tight sealing of the chamber can be ensured. Accordingly, no additional closure elements or sealing foils are required, which ensure a flavor tightness.
  • the shut-off body may be displaceable from the closing position into the opening position by a force acting outside the capsule, in particular against the bias of the spring element. Accordingly, no agents are needed which act within the capsule.
  • the valve with shut-off be designed such that the valve is moved when inserting the capsule in a suitably designed brewing chamber or when closing this brewing chamber directly into the open position. This also applies to the case that the shut-off is not under the bias of a spring element.
  • the shut-off can be formed as a hollow cylindrical pin whose side wall has a closed and provided with valve openings section. With such a shut-off a very simple valve action is made possible by moving the shut-off.
  • a mixing chamber with a baffle plate can be arranged in order to break a jet of the liquid food leaving the valve opening and to ensure mixing with air.
  • a mixing chamber with a baffle plate can be arranged in order to break a jet of the liquid food leaving the valve opening and to ensure mixing with air.
  • a filter element may be arranged between the substance and the valve.
  • a filter element prevents undissolved extraction material, such as coffee powder, can escape from the valve.
  • the filter element can be arranged in the region of the bottom.
  • An arrangement in the region of the bottom is particularly favorable, since in this case the base is available for fastening the filter element.
  • the chamber can be divided into two sections by a permeable separating layer arranged between the cover and the floor his.
  • a permeable separating layer can be for example a filter plate or a perforated foil.
  • the side wall of the capsule body may have stop means or latching means, against which the separating layer rests in a predefined position.
  • stop means or latching means against which the separating layer rests in a predefined position.
  • a projecting edge in the side wall which is designed at least partially encircling, conceivable.
  • the filter plate can be welded or glued, for example.
  • the side wall has a plurality of projecting latching ramps, which protect the filter plate from a displacement directed towards the lid. A displacement in the opposite direction can be prevented for example due to a conical configuration of the capsule body.
  • a closure element in particular a film, can be arranged between the chamber and the valve.
  • this closure element is designed aroma-tight. It can thus be effectively prevented that the substance to be extracted evaporates.
  • the film may comprise, for example, a single or multi-layer plastic or aluminum. Such films are known in the food industry.
  • the closure element may have a predetermined breaking point, which breaks under a predetermined pressure. By configuring the closure element with a predetermined breaking point, it is possible to ensure that the closure element breaks or becomes permeable as needed without the need for a separate penetrant.
  • the lid is a closed foil which can be penetrated to form at least one inlet opening with penetration means arranged outside the capsule.
  • the capsule forms a closed portion system, which is opened only in a preparation machine.
  • neither outer sheaths nor sealing foils are required, which must be removed before using the capsule.
  • the shut-off is advantageously designed so that it extends in the closed position or in the open position over less than half, preferably less than one third of the distance between the bottom and lid in the closed chamber. In this way, the interior of the capsule is affected only insignificantly and it remains possible to install filters or sieve plates above the bottom without the volume remaining for the substance being too small in relation to the volume of the whole capsule.
  • the mentioned distance is measured from the lowest point of the floor to the bottom of the lid.
  • the valve with the shut-off is advantageously arranged coaxially to the longitudinal center axis of the capsule. Even an eccentric arrangement would be conceivable.
  • a further, not according to the invention capsule for preparing a liquid food has a, preferably rotationally symmetrical capsule body having a central axis, a side wall and with a particular integrally formed with this bottom, and a cap covering the capsule body to form a closed chamber.
  • This chamber contains a substance which is intended for the preparation of a liquid food.
  • the capsule further has an outlet opening for dispensing the liquid food in the region of the bottom.
  • the outlet opening is closed by a valve, wherein the valve has a valve opening and is configured such that the valve opening is open under a working pressure prevailing in the capsule and the valve opening is closed in a pressure-free resting state.
  • a valve is understood here and below as meaning any form of obturator.
  • valve which opens the outlet opening only at working pressure and in the pressure-free state closes the outlet opening and is designed in particular severschliessend, dripping of extraction material from the capsule can be effectively prevented.
  • the valve can be designed to be self-opening or externally activatable.
  • the capsule body may be a deep-drawn part or an injection molded part. Both manufacturing processes are cost-effective for large production lots. In addition, almost the same tolerances are guaranteed across the entire production volume.
  • the valve may comprise a membrane part of an elastomeric material with a particular slot-shaped or round valve opening.
  • a valve is a particularly simple embodiment and can be easily manufactured especially in food-compatible materials. Possible materials are For example, thermoplastic elastomers, silicone elastomers, etc.
  • valves with slit-shaped valve openings are known from use in the closure of ketchup bottles or shower containers.
  • the membrane part may have a funnel-shaped taper in the direction of the valve opening, whereby a kind of nozzle is formed. Thus, a discharge jet is formed with the liquid food.
  • the valve opening may have two or more intersecting slots.
  • the working pressure required to open the valve opening can easily be determined by the size of the slot in the membrane part. By using crossed slots, the pressure required for opening can be significantly reduced.
  • the diaphragm member may also be an opening caused by a needle-shaped object.
  • the membrane part may be arranged in a form-fitting manner in the region of the bottom of the capsule body in a depression. Due to the configuration of the capsule body with a recess, a particularly simple positioning and mounting of the valve in the capsule is possible.
  • the recess may be cylindrical or conical.
  • a cylindrical or conical configuration is particularly advantageous when the capsule is designed rotationally symmetrical.
  • a cylindrical or conical recess also allows a particularly simple design of the membrane part.
