- 飲料製造機においてカプセルを配向させ供給するための装置であって、ランダム的に配向されたカプセルを受容する容器と、回転軸のまわりに回転可能であり、前記容器内に少なくとも部分的に配置された回転子と、前記容器内に配置され且つ前記容器の外へ延在する管受容口を備えた、カプセル排出管と、を有し、前記回転子は、一意に決定された向きに配向されたカプセルをピックアップするような形状とされた、周縁部に配置された少なくとも1つのカプセル受容シートを備え、前記回転子は、使用の間、前記管受容口の上の位置に向けてカプセルを持ち上げるように、前記回転軸のまわりに回転するように構成され、前記カプセル受容シートは、前記上の位置から前記管受容口へと、重力の影響下で前記カプセルを放出するように構成された装置。
- 前記回転子は、周縁部に配置された複数のカプセル受容シートを有する、請求項1に記載の装置。
- 前記容器は円筒形であり、前記回転子は前記容器と同軸である、請求項1又は2に記載の装置。
- 各前記カプセル受容シートは、該シートに保持されたカプセルが、前記カプセルの軸が前記回転子の回転軸に略垂直となるように配向され、且つ、大きな方の前面が前記回転軸に対し径方向内側に向き、小さな方の背面が径方向外側に、即ち前記回転軸とは反対側に向くような形状とされる、請求項1乃至3のいずれか一項に記載の装置。
- 前記回転子の動作位置において、前記回転軸は水平に対して傾いている、請求項1乃至4のいずれか一項に記載の装置。
- 前記回転子の回転軸は水平に対して10°と80°との間の角度を成している、請求項5に記載の装置。
- 前記カプセル排出管は収集通路に接続され、前記収集通路において、前記排出管において排出されたカプセルが配向された位置で集められる、請求項1に記載の装置。
- 飲料調製ユニットと、請求項1乃至7のいずれか一項に記載の装置と、を有し、前記カプセル排出管が、配向されたカプセルを前記飲料調製ユニットへと供給するように構成された、飲料製造機。
- 前記カプセルがランダム的に配置されたカプセル保持器を有し、前記保持器は前記容器にカプセルを排出するため前記装置に接続された、請求項8に記載の飲料製造機。
- 飲料調製機においてカプセルを配向させ供給するための方法であって、容器であって前記容器に少なくとも部分的に配置された回転子を備えた容器を備えるステップを含み、前記回転子は、回転軸のまわりに回転可能であり、少なくとも1つのカプセル受容シートを備え、前記方法は更に、前記容器にカプセルをランダム的に供給するステップと、前記少なくとも1つのカプセル受容シートに個別にカプセルを入れるステップと、前記回転子を回転させ、前記カプセルを排出管へと配向された位置で放出するステップと、を含む方法において、
前記回転子は、水平に対して傾いた軸のまわりに回転して、低部位置から前記カプセルをピックアップし、前記カプセルを上部位置に向けて持ち上げ、前記上部位置において、配向されたカプセルが、重力の影響の下、前記上部位置から前記排出管へと放出される、方法。 - 前記排出管から飲料調製ユニットへと前記配向されたカプセルを供給するステップを有する、請求項10に記載の方法。
