Description

CAPSULA AD INNESTO FACILITATO PER MACCHINE DA GAFFE' ESPRESSO EASY CONNECTION CAPSULE FOR ESPRESSO GAFFE MACHINES

DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION

Sono largamente diffuse macchine per caffà ̈ monodose, esse utilizzano, particolarmente, capsule di forma tronco-conica o cilindrica, realizzate in plastica alimentare, riempite con caffà ̈ macinato e dosato, chiuse sulla faccia superiore o inferiore da un film permeabile preforato o da carta filtrante o da un coperchio rigido preforato con all'interno un dischetto di carta filtrante, poggiato all'imbocco della base che viene investita dall'acqua in pressione proveniente dalla camera di estrazione. In questa capsula l'estrazione del caffà ̈ avviene realizzando il contatto tra la camera di estrazione in cui vi à ̈ acqua sotto pressione e la superficie di base della capsula che viene spinta contro la camera . Single-dose coffee machines are widely used, they use, in particular, truncated-conical or cylindrical capsules, made of food-grade plastic, filled with ground and dosed coffee, closed on the upper or lower face by a pre-perforated permeable film or paper. filter or by a pre-drilled rigid lid with a disk of filter paper inside, resting at the entrance to the base which is hit by the pressurized water coming from the extraction chamber. In this capsule the coffee is extracted by making contact between the extraction chamber in which there is water under pressure and the base surface of the capsule which is pushed against the chamber.

A causa della pressione esercitata dalla pompa che inietta acqua, attraverso la camera di estrazione si determina, considerata l'ampia superficie di contatto della capsula, una notevole forza di reazione che tende ad allontanare la camera di estrazione dalla capsula con conseguente trafilatura di liquido. Due to the pressure exerted by the pump that injects water, a considerable reaction force is determined through the extraction chamber, considering the large contact surface of the capsule, which tends to move the extraction chamber away from the capsule with consequent drawing of liquid.

In definitiva con le capsule attualmente in commercio, per garantire una corretta estrazione del caffà ̈, occorre una notevole forza di accoppiamento capsula, camera di estrazione. Il presente brevetto d'invenzione industriale ha io scopo di proporre una soluzione al detto problema. Ultimately, with the capsules currently on the market, to ensure a correct extraction of the coffee, a considerable coupling force is required between the capsule and the extraction chamber. The present industrial invention patent has the purpose of proposing a solution to said problem.

L'idea di soluzione consistà ̈ nell'aver realizzato una capsula che offre alla camera di estrazione una superficie ridotta rispetto alle capsule attualmente utilizzate . The solution idea consisted in having created a capsule that offers the extraction chamber a reduced surface compared to the capsules currently used.

Per ottenere ciò sì à ̈ realizzata una capsula munita di un'appendice cilindrica sulla faccia di contatto con la camera di estrazione. To achieve this, a capsule is made with a cylindrical appendage on the contact face with the extraction chamber.

Quest 'ultima, a sua volta, Ã ̈ sagomata, opportunamente, per ricevere la nuova capsula. The latter, in turn, is suitably shaped to receive the new capsule.

L'idea di soluzione verrà meglio compresa facendo riferimento alla tavola allegata, ove essa à ̈ illustrata in forma schematica. The idea of a solution will be better understood by referring to the attached table, where it is illustrated in schematic form.

Le figg. 1) e 2) mostrano la nuova capsula ipotizzando che il contatto con la camera di estrazione avvenga, rispettivamente, con la base maggiore o con quella minore. Figs. 1) and 2) show the new capsule assuming that the contact with the extraction chamber occurs, respectively, with the larger or smaller base.

La fig. 3) mostra la capsula in fase di accoppiamento con la camera di estrazione modificata . Fig. 3) shows the capsule being coupled with the modified extraction chamber.

La fig. 4) ipotizza la capsula accoppiata con la camera di estrazione. Fig. 4) assumes the capsule coupled with the extraction chamber.

Con riferimento alla figure la nuova capsula (1) presenta sulla base maggiore o minore un'appendice cilindrica (2) che sporge di alcuni millimetri dal centro della base maggiore o di quella minore. With reference to the figures, the new capsule (1) has a cylindrical appendage (2) on the major or minor base which protrudes a few millimeters from the center of the major or minor base.

La camera di estrazione (3) a sua volta presenta una forma che consente l'accoppiamento con la capsula. Alla camera à ̈ prevista, ulteriormente, una sede per ricevere un o-ring (4). The extraction chamber (3) in turn has a shape that allows coupling with the capsule. The chamber is further provided with a seat to receive an o-ring (4).

Dopo quanto descritto ed illustrato appare evidente che, secondo l'invenzione, il contatto tra la camera di estrazione (3) e la capsula avviene sulla faccia superiore del cilindretto, quindi interessa una superficie ridotta rispetto a quella tradizionale, Inoltre, il prolungamento cilindrico della capsula va ad inserirsi nel vano sagomato della camera d'estrazione, ove un o-ring assicura una perfetta tenuta . After what has been described and illustrated, it is evident that, according to the invention, the contact between the extraction chamber (3) and the capsule occurs on the upper face of the cylinder, therefore it involves a smaller surface than the traditional one. Furthermore, the cylindrical extension of the capsule fits into the shaped compartment of the extraction chamber, where an o-ring ensures a perfect seal.

La nuova capsula ad innesto facilitato permette di ottenere i seguenti fondamentali risultati: The new easy graft capsule allows to obtain the following fundamental results:

* ridurre notevolmente la forza che la camera di estrazione della macchina deve applicare sulla capsula durante l'estrazione del caffà ̈. * considerably reduce the force that the machine extraction chamber has to apply on the capsule during coffee extraction.

* L'applicazione dell 'o-ring che garantisce la tenuta ermetica sulla capsula evitando la trafilatura di liquido anche se nel tempo dovessero aumentare le tolleranze di accoppiamento tra camera di estrazione e capsula . * The application of the o-ring that guarantees the hermetic seal on the capsule avoiding the drawing of liquid even if over time the coupling tolerances between the extraction chamber and the capsule should increase.

* Migliorare la logica di costruzione della macchina da caffà ̈, permettendo l'impiego di meccanismi che lavorano sulla capsula con forze nettamente inferiori. * Improve the construction logic of the coffee machine, allowing the use of mechanisms that work on the capsule with significantly lower forces.

* Aumentare la durata del meccanismo di estrazione, in quanto soggetto a minor stress da utilizzo. * Increase the duration of the extraction mechanism, as it is subject to less stress from use.

* Ridurre i costi di manutenzione, rìducendo la frequenza dì intervento per la sostituzione delle parti usurate. * Reduce maintenance costs by reducing the frequency of intervention for the replacement of worn parts.

All'idea di soluzione potranno essere apportate variazioni formali e strutturali nell'ambito del medesimo concetto inventivo che resta definito dalle rivendicazioni che seguono, Formal and structural variations may be made to the solution idea within the scope of the same inventive concept which remains defined by the following claims,
