Definitions

  • the invention relates to a capsule comprising a preferably rotationally symmetrical capsule body according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such capsules are now widely used in particular for the preparation of coffee or mixed coffee drinks.
  • Capsules of this type can also be used to produce milk foam, mixed milk drinks or fruit drinks from concentrate.
  • the capsule forms a portion packaging, which must hold the contents in a stable position and preferably in an aroma-tight or oxygen-tight manner.
  • the capsule is opened and a liquid is introduced on the inlet side by penetrating the lid when the capsule is enclosed in a beverage preparation machine.
  • the outlet opening is sealed by a barrier membrane, which only tears open under the influence of the internal pressure that builds up and releases the processed liquid.
  • a capsule has become known in which the base has a support structure over which a penetrable output wall is stretched. When internal pressure is built up, the output wall is pressed against penetration elements at the bottom of the capsule so that the wall is penetrated.
  • the substance lies directly on the penetrable initial wall.
  • such a construction is only suitable if the substance is to be dissolved by the inflowing liquid. For an extraction, such as when preparing coffee, an additional filter would have to be provided, otherwise coffee particles would be washed out.
  • a portion capsule with ground coffee for producing a coffee drink has become known.
  • the opening at the bottom is closed by a pierceable film.
  • a filter element is arranged directly above the bottom of the capsule, which is supported on the capsule bottom and which is laterally snapped into a circumferential groove in the side wall of the capsule.
  • ES 2 398 278 A1 discloses a capsule with a filter plate and a barrier membrane, which directly closes the inlet opening into the outlet nozzle of the capsule body.
  • a disadvantage of the known capsules is that they are each strongly tailored to the drink to be prepared and therefore cannot be used universally.
  • the automatic opening under the influence of internal pressure is difficult to control.
  • foam it is desirable for foam to form, but this is only possible under certain pressure conditions and with the addition of air. It is therefore an object of the invention to create a capsule of the type mentioned at the outset, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned and which is suitable for both extraction processes and dissolution processes, the hermetic closure at the outlet opening being exclusively under the influence of the internal pressure and/or or can be exposed with penetrating agents.
  • good mixing and, if possible, foam formation should be achieved.
  • the receiving shoulder makes it possible for different retaining floors to be used using the same capsule body, depending on the intended purpose.
  • a locking connection has proven to be particularly advantageous. Pressing in or even gluing or welding in would also be conceivable.
  • the capsule body can be manufactured as an injection molded part or as a deep-drawn part.
  • the retention base has the task of retaining the substance, which is usually powdery, so that the barrier membrane is not exposed to the substance.
  • the substance-free space delimited by the barrier membrane and the retention base contains a small gas supply, for example air or nitrogen, which significantly improves foam formation.
  • the barrier membrane can only be torn or burst under the influence of the internal pressure in the capsule. This has the advantage that no mechanical means need to be provided to expose the outlet opening. Depending on the wall thickness, fastening or support of the barrier membrane, the opening process can be controlled relatively precisely.
  • the retaining base and the barrier membrane can be arranged plane-parallel to one another. However, this is not mandatory. In particular, the retaining base could also be conical or convex.
  • the barrier membrane is attached to its outer edge on a peripheral edge which is formed in one piece with the bottom of the capsule and which runs within the receiving shoulder. In this way, both the barrier membrane and the retaining floor have attachment lines assigned to them. With a view to efficient manufacturing, the barrier membrane can be inserted first and then the retaining floor.
  • the barrier membrane is attached in the center to a support body which is arranged coaxially to the longitudinal central axis of the capsule and in particular to the outlet opening. It is particularly important that the barrier membrane not only rests on the support body, but is firmly connected to it. Depending on the nature of the barrier membrane, this promotes tearing or bursting, namely in a circumferential area around the center of the capsule.
  • the barrier membrane is advantageously stretched freely between the peripheral edge and the support body without any support or fastening. In certain cases, however, it would also be conceivable for penetration elements to be arranged below the barrier membrane on the bottom of the capsule, which penetrate the barrier membrane when it is bent.
  • the distance between the barrier membrane and the retention base can vary greatly.
  • a distance of 0.1 to 6 mm has proven to be particularly advantageous.
  • Star-shaped reinforcing ribs can be arranged on the underside of the retaining base. However, reinforcing ribs on the top of the retaining floor or on both sides are also conceivable. Such ribs prevent a retention base made of plastic from bending too much under the influence of pressure and temperature.
  • the retaining floor can be designed as a sieve floor with a plurality of openings.
  • the size and number of openings depends on the grain size of the substance to be retained and the desired flow speed.
  • the retention base can also be part of a cylindrical receiving cup for the substance.
  • the substance obviously does not fill the entire capsule body. Rather, a cavity or an annular cavity remains around the receiving cup. This can be used as an inflow space for the liquid or it can in turn accommodate a second substance.
  • the receiving cup can be supported in the upper area facing the lid with a collar on the side wall of the capsule.
  • This collar can be provided with openings so that liquid can also flow into the annular space below the collar.
  • the upper edge of the receiving cup extends beyond the attachment point of the collar, so that an upwardly open channel is formed between the collar and the upper edge. A space can remain between the upper edge and the lid so that the substance in the receiving cup can also spread into the channel above the collar.
  • the retaining base can also be closed and only be provided with a plurality of slots or grooves on its outer circumference. These slots or grooves can be arranged, for example, in an apron directed towards the bottom or the lid of the capsule. The slots or grooves promote flow around the closed retaining base, whereby strong shear forces can be achieved depending on the design.
  • a closed retention base is suitable, for example, for holding milk powder to form milk foam.
  • the barrier membrane can consist of a foil made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
  • a wall thickness of 0.01 to 0.4 mm is particularly advantageous under the internal pressure of up to 20 bar that occurs in a beverage preparation machine proven.
  • the barrier membrane could also consist of a plastic material or a laminate.
  • the barrier membrane can also be designed as an actual rupture disk made of plastic material. In such a case, the wall thickness is, for example, from 0.005 to 0.4 mm.
  • barrier membrane Regardless of the nature of the barrier membrane, it can be particularly advantageous if it has one or more predetermined breaking points. In this way, openings can be created in a very targeted manner and certain flow conditions can be achieved.
  • a particularly advantageous assembly of the retaining base can be achieved if a handle is arranged on the side facing the lid.
  • This can, for example, consist of ribs arranged in a star shape, which additionally stiffen the retaining base.
  • the barrier membrane is attached in the center to a support body which is arranged above the outlet opening and on the outer circumference of which slot-shaped openings are preferably arranged, which extend from the support plane of the barrier membrane against the floor.
  • the support body can be surrounded by a baffle wall provided with openings, the openings of the baffle wall being arranged radially offset from the openings of the support body.
  • a baffle wall provided with openings, the openings of the baffle wall being arranged radially offset from the openings of the support body.
  • Foam formation is promoted by the air supply present in the substance-free space.
  • the barrier membrane is also firmly connected to the upper edge of the baffle wall, so that the annular chamber between the support body and the baffle wall remains delimited on the top by the barrier membrane even after it has been torn.
  • the invention also relates to a system comprising a capsule described above and a beverage preparation machine with a receiving chamber for the capsule, as well as with means for penetrating the lid of the capsule and for passing a liquid under pressure through the capsule. It does not matter whether the liquid is injected into the interior of the capsule, for example using a hollow needle, or whether the liquid is pressed through a plurality of perforation openings.
  • a capsule 1 consists of a capsule body 2, for example made of plastic material, which has a side wall 3 and a base 4.
  • a pipe socket 23 with an outlet opening 8 is arranged coaxially to the longitudinal central axis of the capsule.
  • the pipe socket 23 is additionally connected to the floor 4 via stiffening ribs 24.
  • a circular receiving shoulder 10 is also arranged on the floor 4 and is formed by a depression 25 in the floor.
  • a pipe socket 23 extends downward from the recess, in the cross section of which a baffle plate 26 is held. The pipe socket 23 opens into the outlet opening 8.
  • the capsule body 2 encloses a total of a chamber 6, which can accommodate a substance 7.
  • this substance is held within a receiving cup 17, which is formed in one piece with a retaining base 11.
  • This retention floor is designed as a sieve floor with sieve openings.
  • a circumferential snap edge 28 is arranged below the retaining base, with the help of which the entire receiving cup is snapped into the receiving shoulder 10.
  • the upper edge of the receiving cup is welded all around to the lid 5.
  • vertical slots 27 are provided all around the upper edge, through which a liquid injected into the outer annular chamber can penetrate into the interior of the receiving cup.
  • a barrier membrane 9 in the form of a film is attached to the bottom of the recess 25 and above the outlet opening 8. In this way, a substance-free space 12 is formed between the barrier membrane 9 and the retaining base 11. A liquid introduced into the chamber 6 on the inlet side flows through the substance 7 and the perforated retaining base 11 and then causes the barrier membrane 9 to tear open.
  • the exemplary embodiment according to Figure 3 differs from the one according to Figure 2 mainly due to the fact that the receiving cup 17 is closed at the upper end not by the lid 5, but by a separate filter film 29, through which the liquid can flow.
  • the slightly inwardly curved lid 5 rests loosely on this filter film.
  • a circumferential sealing lip 30 is arranged on the bottom 4, which presses laterally against the receiving cup 17 and thus effects an improved seal.
  • the pipe socket 23 with the integrated baffle plate 26 also has a slightly different configuration.
  • the retaining base 11 is essentially designed as a closed plate.
  • An overflow pipe 31 is arranged in the center, the upper end of which is closed off via a predetermined breaking point 32.
  • This can be designed, for example, as a slot or as a cross slot.
  • the bottom 4 of the capsule is designed in practically the same way as in the exemplary embodiment according to Figure 3 .
  • a liquid introduced into the chamber 6 through the cover 5 flows through the substance 7 and initially causes the predetermined breaking point 32 to burst. The liquid then flows through the overflow pipe 31 into the substance-free space 12 and then causes the barrier membrane 9 to tear before it passes through Outlet opening 8 flows out.
  • the retention base 11 is only designed as a simple sieve base with openings 16.
  • the anchoring in the ground 4 is carried out in the same way as in the exemplary embodiment Figure 3 .
  • a cage 34 provided with openings is arranged on the closed retention base 11.
  • a soft capsule 35 filled with aromatic substances is held in this cage.
  • the rest of the arrangement is identical to that in the exemplary embodiment Figure 4 .
  • a liquid introduced into the chamber 6 first flows through the substance 7 and then penetrates into the cage 34, where the soft capsule is dissolved.
  • the resulting mixture of extract and contents of the capsule then flows downwards into the substance-free space 12 and causes the barrier membrane 9 to tear.
  • the barrier membrane is designed as an actual rupture disk with predetermined breaking points 20.
  • This disc made of plastic material rests on the bottom of the recess 25 and is sealingly connected to it on the outer circumference. In order to prevent the pane from bending, it also has support means 36 on the underside, which are also supported on the bottom of the recess.
  • the latched receiving cup 17 is designed similarly to the one according to Figure 2 .
