DESCRIPCIONDESCRIPTION

Una capsula para contener una preparacion para una bebida calienteA capsule to contain a preparation for a hot drink

El presente invento se refiere al sector tecnico que concierne a capsulas para contener una preparacion para una bebida caliente, en particular cafe, te, leche y similares.The present invention relates to the technical sector which concerns capsules for containing a preparation for a hot beverage, in particular coffee, tea, milk and the like.

De maneras conocidas, estas capsulas, conocidas como bolsitas, contienen una dosis de preparacion y son aplicables en combinacion con maquinas automaticas capaces de permitir la extraccion del producto.In known ways, these capsules, known as sachets, contain a preparation dose and are applicable in combination with automatic machines capable of allowing product extraction.

Estas maquinas automaticas comprenden, en la seccion de extraccion de las mismas, una camara interna para alojar y retener temporalmente una capsula, y un dispositivo para suministrar agua caliente a presion a la camara en la que la capsula es insertada, de tal modo que permitan la extraccion del producto de la misma.These automatic machines comprise, in the extraction section thereof, an internal chamber to temporarily house and retain a capsule, and a device for supplying hot water under pressure to the chamber in which the capsule is inserted, so as to allow the extraction of the product from it.

En este caso los ingredientes activos y/o aromas contenidos en la dosis de preparacion son extrafdos y/o disueltos en el agua caliente por medio de difusion o por mezclado, obteniendo de este modo la bebida caliente deseada.In this case the active ingredients and / or aromas contained in the preparation dose are extracted and / or dissolved in the hot water by means of diffusion or mixing, thus obtaining the desired hot drink.

Las capsulas presentes en el mercado comprenden un cuerpo sustancialmente en forma de taza con pico cerrado hermeticamente por una pelmula aplicada sobre el collarm de entrada del cuerpo utilizando metodos conocidos, por ejemplo pegado o encolado, soldadura por calor o soldadura por ultrasonidos.The capsules present in the market comprise a substantially cup-shaped body with a tightly closed spout by a film applied to the body's inlet collar using known methods, for example bonding or gluing, heat welding or ultrasonic welding.

El cuerpo en forma de taza de las capsulas esta generalmente hecho de aluminio, con espesores que confieren una rigidez predeterminada, mientras la pelmula de cierre esta hecha utilizando una delgada lamina de aluminio que permite un mmimo de posibilidad de deformacion.The cup-shaped body of the capsules is generally made of aluminum, with thicknesses that confer a predetermined stiffness, while the closure film is made using a thin aluminum foil that allows a minimum of deformation.

Con el fin de extraer el producto, el agua caliente suministrada a la camara interna debe ser capaz de entrar en la capsula, interactuar con la dosis de preparacion, y salir a continuacion de la capsula de tal modo que permita la dispensacion de la bebida internamente de una taza de contencion adecuada.In order to extract the product, the hot water supplied to the internal chamber must be able to enter the capsule, interact with the preparation dose, and then exit the capsule in such a way that it allows dispensing the drink internally of a cup of adequate content.

Con este proposito, unos primeros elementos afilados operan en las camaras internas de las maquinas automaticas antes descritas, cuyos elementos afilados son moviles y capaces de perforar de manera adecuada el fondo de las capsulas y permitir la entrada del agua caliente.With this purpose, first sharp elements operate in the internal chambers of the automatic machines described above, whose sharp elements are mobile and capable of adequately piercing the bottom of the capsules and allowing hot water to enter.

La presion que se forma internamente en la capsula despues de la perforacion conduce a una deformacion de la pelmula de cierre, que por ello adquiere una configuracion que es convexa hacia el exterior.The pressure that is formed internally in the capsule after perforation leads to a deformation of the closure film, which therefore acquires a configuration that is convex outwards.

La deformacion de la pelmula conduce a la laceracion de la misma por enfrentamiento con segundos elementos afilados que son fijos y permiten la salida de la bebida desde la capsula y el transporte de la misma a la taza de contencion.The deformation of the film leads to the release of the film by confrontation with second sharp elements that are fixed and allow the beverage to exit from the capsule and transport it to the container.

De maneras conocidas, durante la operacion de dispensar el agua caliente internamente en la capsula, el acoplamiento cerrado hermeticamente de la misma con la camara interna es garantizado por un anillo de silicona, comprendido inferiormente del collarm de entrada del cuerpo de la capsula, que se aplasta contra el borde periferico superior de las paredes de contencion de la camara interna.In known ways, during the operation of dispensing the hot water internally in the capsule, the hermetically sealed coupling thereof with the internal chamber is guaranteed by a silicone ring, inferiorly comprised of the inlet collar of the capsule body, which is crush against the upper peripheral edge of the inner chamber containment walls.

De acuerdo con metodos conocidos, con el fin de aumentar el cierre hermetico, el borde periferico esta moleteado, con sus ranuras que se extienden radialmente con respecto a la camara, de tal modo que durante la operacion de acoplamiento con el anillo de silicona el anillo se deforma y obstruye perpendicularmente las ranuras radiales.In accordance with known methods, in order to increase the sealing, the peripheral edge is knurled, with its grooves extending radially with respect to the chamber, such that during the coupling operation with the silicone ring the ring deforms and obstructs the radial grooves perpendicularly.

En otros metodos conocidos, durante una operacion de acoplamiento el borde periferico superior de la camara interna intercepta una prominencia, configurada inferiormente del collarm de entrada del cuerpo de capsula, que esta moleteada con ranuras que se extienden circunferencialmente con respecto al cuerpo de capsula.In other known methods, during a coupling operation the upper peripheral edge of the inner chamber intercepts a prominence, configured inferiorly from the inlet collar of the capsule body, which is knurled with grooves that extend circumferentially with respect to the capsule body.

En este caso el cierre hermetico es garantizado por la deformacion plastica sufrida por el moleteado circunferencial del cuerpo de capsula causado por el moleteado radial correspondiente del borde periferico superior de la camara interna.In this case, the seal is guaranteed by the plastic deformation suffered by the circumferential knurling of the capsule body caused by the corresponding radial knurling of the upper peripheral edge of the inner chamber.

En ambos metodos conocidos antes descritos, sin embargo, el cierre hermetico del acoplamiento del cuerpo de capsula con la camara interna no es optimo y conduce a valores de presion internamente de la camara que son menores que las especificaciones.In both known methods described above, however, the sealing of the coupling of the capsule body with the internal chamber is not optimal and leads to pressure values internally of the chamber that are less than the specifications.

Esto conduce a una menor deformacion de la pelmula de cierre que es lacerada solo parcialmente por los segundos elementos afilados fijos, con una dispensacion consecuentemente menor de bebida caliente.This leads to a minor deformation of the closure film that is only partially lacerated by the second fixed sharp elements, with a consequently lower dispensation of hot drink.

Con referencia a las hojas de dibujos, la referencia numerica 1 indica en general la capsula para contener una preparacion para una bebida caliente, que comprende, de maneras conocidas, un cuerpo 10 en forma de taza destinado a contener una dosis de preparacion, previsto en la boca 10a del collarm 13 que se extiende hacia el exterior.With reference to the sheets of drawings, the reference numeral 1 generally indicates the capsule for containing a preparation for a hot beverage, comprising, in known ways, a cup-shaped body 10 intended to contain a preparation dose, provided in the mouth 10a of the collarm 13 extending outwards.

El cuerpo 10 en forma de taza comprende un fondo 11 desde el que emerge una pared de contencion lateral 12, que tiene una geometna sustancialmente troncoconica, desde un borde superior de la cual se extiende el collarm 13.The cup-shaped body 10 comprises a bottom 11 from which a side-containing wall 12 emerges, having a substantially conical geometry, from an upper edge from which the collar 13 extends.

De maneras conocidas, el collarm 13 se extiende desde la pared lateral 12 en una direccion sustancialmente paralela con respecto al fondo 11.In known ways, the collarm 13 extends from the side wall 12 in a substantially parallel direction with respect to the bottom 11.

Una pelmula de aluminio deformable es aplicada generalmente (mediante pegado, soldadura por calor o soldadura por ultrasonidos) en la parte superior del collarm 13; la pelmula de aluminio es deformable y capaz de cerrar hermeticamente el volumen interno del cuerpo 10 de la capsula 1.A deformable aluminum film is generally applied (by gluing, heat welding or ultrasonic welding) on the top of the collar 13; The aluminum film is deformable and capable of tightly closing the internal volume of the body 10 of the capsule 1.

El cuerpo 10 esta hecho preferiblemente de una sola pieza y hecho de polipropileno que es completamente no toxico.The body 10 is preferably made of a single piece and made of polypropylene that is completely non-toxic.

Para extraer la bebida caliente, la capsula 1 es insertada en un aparato de tipo conocido (con objeto de simplicidad no se ha ilustrado) del tipo descrito en el preambulo anterior.To extract the hot beverage, the capsule 1 is inserted into an apparatus of known type (for the sake of simplicity not illustrated) of the type described in the previous preamble.

Espedficamente, este aparato comprende una camara interna destinada a recibir y retener, en proximidad de la region superior, el cuerpo 10 de la capsula 1 durante la preparacion de la bebida.Specifically, this apparatus comprises an internal chamber designed to receive and retain, in the vicinity of the upper region, the body 10 of the capsule 1 during the preparation of the beverage.

La camara interna esta delimitada por al menos una pared de contencion 18 que identifica un borde periferico superior 17 que puede hacer tope con la superficie inferior del collarm 13 del cuerpo 10 de la capsula 1, en una operacion de acoplamiento del cuerpo 10 por la camara interna.The internal chamber is delimited by at least one wall of contention 18 that identifies an upper peripheral edge 17 that can abut the lower surface of the collarm 13 of the body 10 of the capsule 1, in a coupling operation of the body 10 by the chamber internal

La capsula 1 comprende, de una manera innovadora, al menos una ranura anular 14 en la superficie inferior del collarm 13, cuya ranura anular 14 es adecuada para recibir en un acoplamiento de cierre hermetico el borde periferico superior 17 de la pared de contencion 18.The capsule 1 comprises, in an innovative manner, at least one annular groove 14 on the lower surface of the collarm 13, whose annular groove 14 is suitable for receiving in a sealed seal the upper peripheral edge 17 of the containing wall 18.

La ranura 14 esta conformada complementariamente al borde periferico superior 17 de la pared de contencion 18, de tal modo que permita la insercion y/o extraccion libre del borde periferico superior 17 a y/o desde la ranura anular 14.The groove 14 is complementary to the upper peripheral edge 17 of the containment wall 18, so as to allow free insertion and / or removal of the upper peripheral edge 17 to and / or from the annular groove 14.

Para maximizar el cierre hermetico del acoplamiento, en otra realizacion la ranura 14 esta conformada de modo que permita un acoplamiento de friccion con el borde periferico superior 17 de la pared de contencion 18.To maximize the seal of the coupling, in another embodiment the groove 14 is shaped so as to allow friction coupling with the upper peripheral edge 17 of the retaining wall 18.

La deformacion plastica de la ranura 14 durante la operacion de acoplamiento con el borde periferico superior 17 puede tambien ser comprendida, por medio del propio borde.The plastic deformation of the groove 14 during the coupling operation with the upper peripheral edge 17 can also be understood, by means of the edge itself.

Alternativamente, con el fin de aumentar mas el cierre hermetico del acoplamiento, pueden preverse medios deformables, posicionados en el fondo 15 o en una de las paredes laterales opuestas 16 de la ranura 14, que pueden deformarse durante la operacion de acoplamiento de la ranura 14 con el borde periferico superior 17.Alternatively, in order to further increase the hermetic seal of the coupling, deformable means can be provided, positioned at the bottom 15 or on one of the opposite side walls 16 of the slot 14, which can be deformed during the coupling operation of the slot 14 with the upper peripheral edge 17.

A partir de lo anterior se desprende claramente como la capsula para contener una preparacion para una bebida caliente es capaz de asegurar un excelente acoplamiento cerrado hermeticamente del cuerpo de capsula con la camara interna de la maquina automatica internamente a la cual es insertada la capsula, de tal modo que garantice los valores de presion predeterminados internamente en la capsula durante una operacion de dispensacion del agua caliente.From the above, it is clear that the capsule for containing a preparation for a hot beverage is able to ensure an excellent tightly closed coupling of the capsule body with the internal chamber of the automatic machine internally to which the capsule is inserted, from such that it guarantees the preset pressure values internally in the capsule during a hot water dispensing operation.

Lo anterior es alcanzado gracias al excelente acoplamiento cerrado hermeticamente entre la ranura anular prevista inferiormente del collarm del cuerpo de capsula, y el borde periferico superior de la pared de contencion de la camara interna.The above is achieved thanks to the excellent tightly sealed coupling between the annular groove provided below of the collarm of the capsule body, and the upper peripheral edge of the inner chamber containment wall.

En este caso el fondo y las paredes laterales opuestas de la ranura abarcan extensa y establemente el borde periferico superior de la pared de contencion de la camara interna.In this case, the bottom and opposite side walls of the groove extensively and stably cover the upper peripheral edge of the inner chamber containment wall.

La realizacion de la ranura en la region inferior del collarm del cuerpo de la capsula es extremadamente simple y economica, y no influye sobre los costes de produccion de la capsula.The realization of the groove in the lower region of the collarm of the capsule body is extremely simple and economical, and does not influence the production costs of the capsule.

La capsula permite ademas obtener la deformacion optima de la pelmula de cierre (cerrada hermeticamente sobre la 5 parte superior del collarm) que es asf lacerada de acuerdo con la descripcion, con una dispensacion consecuente deThe capsule also allows to obtain the optimum deformation of the closure film (hermetically closed on the upper part of the collarm) which is thus lacerated according to the description, with a consequent dispensing of

la cantidad predeterminada de bebida caliente.The default amount of hot drink.

Esto conduce a un uso optimo de la preparacion contenida en la capsula, que es completamente explotada, con la ventaja total de la incorporacion completa y/o del sabor de la bebida caliente dispensada.This leads to an optimal use of the preparation contained in the capsule, which is fully exploited, with the total advantage of the complete incorporation and / or taste of the hot beverage dispensed.
