Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily make a drink only by pouring a specified amount of water in a water container in case a drink such as coffee is brewed by providing a heating element in a lid of the water container to directly heat the water in the water container. CONSTITUTION:After one cup of water is fed in a water container 3, a brewing apparatus 1 with a desired cartridge type coffee 11 is put on a coffee cup 2, the water container 3 is put on the brewing apparatus 1 and a lid 6 is placed on the water container 3. Next, a plug 9 is connected to a receptacle, and a power source switch 8 is turned on. Then, the temperature of the water in the water container 3 rises, and the water is heated until the water boils and steam comes out from a small steam vent hole 10. As an outlet 4 of the water container 3 is opened or closed by sliding an operating lever 5 to the left or the right. Therefore, when the lever 5 is slid in the direction of opening the outlet 4, the hot water flows down into the brewing apparatus 1, and then coffee is poured into the coffee cup 2 through the cartridge type coffee 11.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Fields The present invention relates to a device for extracting beverages such as coffee, and relates to a device for extracting beverages such as coffee, which allows easy drinking of coffee using a special type coffee cartridge, etc. It is about improvement.

5(a) and 5(b) are an external perspective view and a partial cross-sectional view of a beverage brewing device such as a Mahi, which shows a conventional example,
Attach the cartridge-type coffee 11 to the outer container 12 in advance, press it down with the inner container 13, and place it in the designated cup (
(not shown). Next, boiling water 14 that has been boiled in a separate container is evenly poured into the inner container 13, the lid 15 is placed on the lid 15 to mix it well, and the coffee is waited for to be extracted into a predetermined cup.

As another conventional example, as shown in the partial sectional view of FIG. 6, a cartridge-type coffee 11a is fixed to an outer container 12a by adhesive or other means, but after boiling water in a separate container, the coffee cartridge is removed. The steps for pouring into the container 12a are the same as those described above.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> According to the conventional method described above, even when brewing one cup of cartridge-type coffee, it is necessary to boil water in a separate container. It does not save much time and effort compared to when extracting a large amount, such as in portions, and the amount of water is boiled too much compared to the number of cups, so there are problems such as wastage.

The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned conventional problems and providing a simple beverage brewing device with little waste.

Means for Solving the Problems In the present invention, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a heating element is attached to the lid of a water container, and the lid is placed on a water container containing a predetermined amount of water. To provide a beverage brewing device, which boils water and has an extractor installed with a cartridge for a beverage such as coffee or the like disposed below the water container, and extracts a predetermined amount of beverage such as coffee from the extractor. It is something that can be done.

Effects> The present invention allows only the required amount of water, measured in advance, to be placed in the water container. Furthermore, by putting a lid on the water container, the water in the water container can be directly heated by the heating element formed integrally with the lid, so that hot water can be easily and efficiently boiled.

Furthermore, by operating the operating section at the bottom of the water container, the amount of coffee etc. extracted can be adjusted, making it possible to easily and quickly extract aromatic coffee.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail by taking a cartridge type coffee brewing device as an example.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a beverage brewing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of the same water container, and FIG. 4 FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the lid of the water container.

In these figures, 1 is an extractor placed on the upper part of a predetermined coffee cup 2, 3 is a water container placed on the upper part of the extractor 1, and the lower part is a water container. An operating lever 5 is attached to open and close the opening 4 which serves as the introduction section to the extractor 1. Reference numeral 6 denotes a lid of the water container 3, and a heating element 7 for raising the temperature of the water in the water container is integrally formed at the center of the back surface and extends downward. 8
1 is a switch for switching the power supply to the heating element 7, 9 is a power plug, 10 is a small hole formed in the lid 6 for steam venting, and 11 is a cartridge type coffee machine installed in the extractor 1. 7a is a thermocuff installed inside the lid 6, and can automatically control the supply of electricity to the heating element 7.

Next, the operation of the beverage brewing device of the present invention having the above configuration will be explained. First, when extracting one brew of coffee, fill water for one brew in advance in the water container 3, and attach the extractor 1 equipped with the desired cartridge-type coffee 11 to the top of the coffee cup 2. At the same time, place the water container 3 on top of the extractor 1, and close the lid 6 of the water container 3.
do.

Next, after inserting the power plug 9 into a predetermined power outlet, the power switch 8 is turned on. Then, the temperature of the water in the water container 3 rises, and steam is generated from the small holes 10 for steam venting and heated until it boils. Also, by sliding the operation lever 5 left and right, the opening 4 of the water container 3 opens and closes, so when the lever 5 is slid in the direction in which the opening 4 opens, hot water flows into the extractor 1 and the cartridge formula coffee 11
Coffee is poured into the coffee cup 2 through the.

According to this embodiment, water can be boiled in about one minute less time than the conventional method of boiling water in a separate container.

Further, by setting the size of the opening of the water container 3 according to the sliding position of the operating lever 5, the coffee extraction concentration can be changed in accordance with the flow rate of hot water flowing into the extractor 1.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the coffee extraction device can be made compact, so it can also be used as a one-cup drip type coffee maker for military use.

Although this embodiment describes the case where a cartridge-type coffee drink is used, similar effects can be obtained by using other beverage cartridges.

<Effects of the Invention> The present invention has a heating element on the lid of the water container and can directly heat the water in the water container, so when brewing a beverage such as coffee, all you have to do is pour a predetermined amount of water into the water container. This makes it much easier to drink coffee and other beverages than before. Further, since the brewing device itself can be formed compactly, this type of beverage brewing device can be further downsized.
