At this time, the pressure plate 872 is a part capable of supplying hot water by punching a hole by pressing the upper sealing surface 890 of the coffee capsule Cs, and a plurality of opening blades 872a are provided on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872. In addition to this arrangement, a hose connector 872b connected to a hot water supply hose (not shown) is provided on one side of the pressure plate 872 to provide hot water to the coffee capsules Cs through the inner surface of the pressure plate 872. has been

Therefore, the hot water supply hose (not shown) is connected to the hot water supply unit (ie, the hot water tank) not shown in the hose connector 872b of the pressure plate 872, so that the coffee capsule Cs is provided inside the coffee extract extraction operation. It can be supplied with hot water.

Of course, there may be cases where it is not necessary to provide an opening blade 872a on the lower surface of the pressing plate 872.

For example, among the types of coffee capsules (Cs) applied to the present invention, coffee capsules of the type (or product) in which hot water can flow into the coffee capsules (Cs) without drilling a hole in the upper sealing surface (890) In the case of (Cs), since there is no need to drill a hole in the upper sealing surface 890, it is natural that there is no need to provide an opening blade 872a on the bottom surface of the pressing plate 872.

In addition, on the bottom surface of the pressing plate 872, silicone sealing rubber made of silicon material is coupled in the form of a rim around the opening blade 872a, and a silicone sealing sealing portion 872c made of silicon is attached to the inside of the silicone sealing rubber. Since it is formed to be inclined, when hot water is supplied toward the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872 and pressure is applied, the hot water is prevented from leaking out due to the silicon sealing and compression portion 872c.

The pressure tray 878 is a member used when it is necessary to forcibly drill a hole in the bottom of the coffee capsule Cs when extracting the coffee juice. While supporting the bottom side, it serves as a passage to guide the coffee juice extracted from the coffee capsules (Cs) to fall downward through the bottom side of the installation plate (801).

That is, the pressure support 878 is located on the bottom side of the coffee capsule Cs opposite to the pressure plate 872, and the coffee capsule Cs is pressed by the pressure plate 872 and pushed downward by about 4 mm. When it is eaten, it contacts the bottom surface of the coffee capsule (Cs) and makes a hole in the bottom surface of the coffee capsule (Cs) to serve as a passage to guide the coffee extract extracted by the hot water supplied through the pressure plate 872 to free fall. is to do

To this end, a support tip 878a having a pointed structure capable of piercing a hole is vertically protruded at the center of the upper end of the pressure support stand 878, and a penetrating point through which coffee juice is discharged is formed in the center of the support tip 878a. A ball is formed, and on the upper surface of the pressure base 878, which is the periphery of the support tip 878a, the coffee juice cannot escape through the through hole in the center of the support tip 878a, and flows down along the outer circumferential surface of the support tip 878a. A through hole 878b through which the coffee liquid can be discharged is formed.

That is, when a hole is drilled in the bottom surface of the coffee capsule (Cs) with the support tip (878a), a structurally fine gap is formed between the hole formed on the bottom surface of the coffee capsule (Cs) and the support tip (878a), Through this gap, the coffee juice flows down along the outer circumferential surface of the support tip 878a, and the coffee juice flowing down in this way is discharged downward through the through hole 878b formed on the upper surface of the pressure holder 878.

In addition, the lower surface of the pressure support 878 is in communication with the coffee undiluted solution discharge hole 805 formed through the installation plate 801.

At this time, depending on the type of the coffee capsule (Cs), if there is no need to forcibly drill a hole in the bottom of the coffee capsule (Cs) to discharge the coffee juice, there is no need to provide a pressure support (878). .

For example, among the types of coffee capsules (Cs), when manufacturing the coffee capsules (Cs), a plurality of micro-holes 891b are formed on the bottom of the coffee capsules (Cs), and these micro-holes (891b) are in a liquid state. It can be manufactured with a structure that is blocked with a non-woven fabric (not shown) through which the coffee undiluted solution can escape.

That is, in the case of the coffee capsule Cs as described above, the fine through hole 891b is closed by the non-woven fabric in a state where coffee beans are normally accommodated inside the coffee capsule Cs, so that the one-two coffee grains do not escape. And, when extracting the coffee liquid, hot water flows into the coffee capsule Cs, so that the coffee liquid can flow out through the non-woven fabric blocking the micropores Cs.

Therefore, in the vending machine using the coffee capsules (Cs) of the above type, there is no need to forcibly drill a hole in the bottom of the coffee capsules (Cs) in order to extract the coffee juice, so a member such as the pressure support (878) It is not necessary to provide a .

The pressing cover member 873 surrounds the entire pressing plate 872 at the top of the pressing plate 872 and is fixedly coupled, and is assembled to the upper side of the pressing cover member 973 by screwing with the elevating shaft 874, thereby lifting and lowering.

Hereinafter, the coffee capsule loading unit 800 and the waste coffee capsule collection unit 880 will be described in detail.

Here, the coffee capsule loading unit 800 is a portion for loading coffee capsules (Cs) in multiple stages and sequentially supplying them one by one, and is located on the top of the pedestal 802 located on one side of the installation plate 801 having a plate-like structure. are placed

As shown in Figure 6, the coffee capsule loading unit 800, a plurality of cylindrical coffee capsule cartridges 810 for accommodating and loading the coffee capsules (Cs), and the coffee capsule cartridge 810 are arranged in a circular shape A rotating frame 820 for rotating in a supported state, and a coffee capsule outlet 831 disposed at the bottom of the rotating frame 820 to discharge one coffee capsule (Cs) on the pedestal 802 It is composed of a fixed disc 830 fixed to and a rotation drive unit 840 that provides a driving force for rotating the rotation frame 820.

The coffee capsule cartridge 810 is made of a cylindrical structure so that a plurality of coffee capsules (Cs) can be stacked and stored in a row, and the coffee capsules (Cs) are put into the upper part of the coffee capsule cartridge 810 to stack and In addition, it has a structure that can sequentially discharge the coffee capsules (Cs) one by one to the bottom, and a plurality of coffee capsule cartridges 810 are arranged in a circular arrangement on the rotating frame 820.

The rotating frame 820 loads the coffee capsules (Cs) in a state in which a plurality of coffee capsule cartridges 810 are fitted and supported, and then, when discharging one coffee capsule (Cs), the coffee capsules (Cs) It is a part that serves to selectively rotate and move the loaded coffee capsule cartridge 810 toward the coffee capsule outlet 831 on the fixed disc 830.

That is, the rotary frame 820 has a plurality of cartridge insertion holes 825 formed to insert the coffee capsule cartridge 810, and is vertically spaced apart from each other, and the rotary shaft of the rotary drive unit 840 is disposed. As the three disc-shaped support plates 821 , 822 , and 823 connected to 843 and the three disc-shaped support plates 821 , 822 , 823 spaced apart from each other are vertically connected and supported at regular intervals along the edge surfaces, the three disc-shaped supports By being composed of a plurality of connecting rods 824 that bind the plates 821, 822, 823 to each other, the rotation frame 820 rotates in a state in which a plurality of coffee capsule cartridges 810 are inserted into the cartridge insertion hole 825 and supported and fixed. It is configured to rotate together with the coffee capsule cartridge 810 by the rotating shaft 843 of the driving unit 840.

At this time, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cartridge insertion holes 825 are formed in a circular structure along the edge surfaces of the three disc-shaped support plates 821, 822, and 823 in correspondence with each other up and down on the same straight line, so that eight coffee The capsule cartridge 810 can be mounted by inserting it into the rotating frame 820.

In particular, the disc-shaped support plate 821 located at the top of the three disc-shaped support plates 821, 822, 823 is disposed in a position capable of supporting the middle of the coffee capsule cartridge 810, and the circle located at the bottom The plate-shaped support plate 823 is disposed at a position capable of supporting the lowermost side of the coffee capsule cartridge 810 at a slight distance from the fixed disk 830, and the middle of the three disk-shaped support plates 821,822,823. The disc-shaped support plate 822 located at is arranged to support the lower end of the coffee capsule cartridge 810 from the top slightly spaced apart from the lowermost disc-shaped support plate 823.

As such, while supporting the middle of the coffee capsule cartridge 810 with the uppermost disk-shaped support plate 821 of the three disk-shaped support plates 821,822,823, the remaining two disk-shaped support plates 822 and 823 serve coffee. By supporting and fixing the lowermost and lower portions of the capsule cartridge 810 at a slight distance apart, the coffee capsule cartridge 810, which is vertically mounted with a considerable height in the process of rotation of the rotating frame 820, is rotated. It will be able to be more firmly supported and fixed without shaking.

In addition, the rotation of the rotating frame 820 causes the coffee capsules (Cs) loaded in one coffee capsule cartridge 810 to be discharged and exhausted whenever it is detected that another coffee capsule in which the coffee capsules (Cs) are loaded. This is done when the cartridge 810 is to be sequentially moved toward the coffee capsule outlet 831 on the fixing disc 830.

When the lower opening surface of the coffee capsule cartridge 810 is exactly matched to the coffee capsule outlet 831, the coffee capsules (Cs) loaded in the coffee capsule cartridge 810 are naturally discharged one by one through free fall.

In this way, when the coffee capsules (Cs) fall freely one by one through the coffee capsule outlet 831, if there is a need to extract the coffee liquid from the coffee capsules (Cs) (ie, when selling coffee beans), the coffee capsule transfer unit ( In a state in which one coffee capsule (Cs) is seated in the coffee capsule holder 852 provided in the moving slide 851 of 850), it is transported toward the coffee undiluted extracting unit 870 capable of extracting the undiluted coffee. While extracting the coffee liquid from the coffee capsules (Cs) in the liquid extraction unit 870, the coffee capsules (Cs), which are free-falling in the lower order, are fixed on one side of the upper surface of the moving slide (851) located directly below the coffee capsule discharge port (831). As it is stopped in the state where it is seated in the position, free fall no longer takes place.

In addition, when it is necessary to transfer the coffee capsules (Cs) of the lower order according to the resale of the coffee beans, the coffee capsules (Cs), which are seated on one side of the upper surface of the moving slide 851 while waiting for the lower order after the free fall, are moved. As the coffee capsule holder 852 is moved to a position accurately aligned below the coffee capsule discharge port 831 according to the reciprocating movement of the slide 851, it is naturally seated in the coffee capsule holder 852, and then the coffee extract extractor ( 870), and the above operation process is repeatedly and continuously performed while selling coffee beans.

On the other hand, although not shown in the figure, by providing a sensor (not shown) for detecting the discharge state of the coffee capsule (Cs) on the coffee capsule outlet 831 on the fixed disc 830, the coffee capsule outlet 831 ) It is possible to detect the exhaustion state of the coffee capsules (Cs) loaded in the coffee capsule cartridge 810 located on the side, and when the detection sensor detects that all the coffee capsules (Cs) in the coffee capsule cartridge 810 are exhausted, In response to a control signal from a control unit (not shown), the rotation drive motor 841 of the rotation drive unit 840 to be described later is driven and controlled to rotate the rotation frame 820 at a predetermined angle so that the coffee capsules Cs are loaded with other coffee capsules. The cartridge 810 is moved and rotated toward the coffee capsule outlet 831.

As described above, by detecting whether the coffee capsules (Cs) loaded in one coffee capsule cartridge 810 are exhausted, the plurality of coffee capsule cartridges 810 are sequentially supplied through the rotation of the rotating frame 820 through the coffee capsule outlet 831. ) It is natural that the drive control for rotating and moving towards is made sequentially and repeatedly until all the coffee capsules (Cs) loaded in the coffee capsule cartridge 810 are exhausted.

And, as described above, the coffee capsules (Cs) loaded in the coffee capsule cartridge 810 are not exhausted in a state in which the lower opening surface of the coffee capsule cartridge 810 is exactly matched to the coffee capsule discharge port 831, so that the coffee capsules ( During the free fall of Cs), one coffee capsule (Cs) is seated on one side of the upper surface of the moving slide 851, and the two support plates 822 and 823 at the bottom of the rotating frame 820 and the fixed disc 830 ), rotation of the rotating frame 820 becomes impossible.

On the other hand, the configuration of the rotating frame 820 is not limited to the above configuration, and the coffee capsules (Cs) are put into the upper portion of the coffee capsule cartridge 810 in a state in which a plurality of coffee capsule cartridges 810 are supported and coupled. And, if it has a structure capable of discharging the coffee capsules (Cs) to the lower portion of each coffee capsule cartridge 810, it is not limited to that structure and can be configured in a variety of structures, of course.

The rotary drive unit 840 is a part that provides driving force for rotationally driving the rotary frame 820, and includes a rotary drive motor 841 generating driving force and a rotary gearbox 842 connected to the rotary drive motor 841. A rotation shaft 843 that rotates by receiving driving force through a rotation shaft 843, a rotation sensing plate 844 installed on the opposite side of the rotation shaft 843 to detect the amount of rotation of the rotation shaft 843, and the rotation detection plate ( 844) and a plurality of rotation control sensors 845 and 846 for controlling the amount of rotation of the rotation shaft 843.

In addition, the rotary drive motor 841 and the rotary gear box 842 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the pedestal (not shown) via a fixing bracket 847, and the rotary shaft 843 passes through the fixed disc 830. The hole 832 passes through and is vertically connected to the central portion of the disk-shaped support plates 821 , 822 , and 823 .

Next, a structure for pressurizing coffee beans will be described.

As shown in Figure 7, the coffee capsule transfer unit 850 is a part that serves to transfer the coffee capsules (Cs) to a desired position.

The coffee capsule holder 852 has a circular flange portion 852b formed along the upper edge line and has a slightly larger diameter than the coffee capsule Cs at the center of the flange portion 852b, so that the coffee capsule Cs It has a structure in which the holder hole 852a, which can be seated, protrudes downward.

At this time, the coffee capsule holder 852 is seated and assembled to slide up and down via the fastener 857 in the holder mounting hole 851b of the moving slide 851, and the flange portion 852b of the coffee capsule holder 852 ) and the stepped surface of the holder seating hole 851b, the spring member 858 is inserted and mounted.

As described above, since the spring member 858 is provided between the coffee capsule holder 852 and the holder seating hole 851b, in the process of extracting the coffee liquid from the coffee capsule Cs, the coffee liquid extracting unit 870 to be described later When the pressure plate 872 penetrates the upper sealing surface 890 of the coffee capsule Cs and supplies hot water, the pressure of the pressure plate 872 causes the coffee capsule holder 852 and the coffee capsules ( Cs) is pushed downward slightly (for example, approximately 4 mm), and when the coffee capsule holder 852 and the coffee capsule Cs are pushed downward, the spring member 858 is pressed It has an elastic restoring force, and when the pressing force of the pressure plate 872 is released, the coffee capsule holder 852 and the coffee extract are extracted and the remaining waste coffee capsules (Cs1) return to the initial position due to the elastic restoring force of the spring member 858. will do

On the other hand, the coffee extract extraction unit 870 is disposed in the extraction unit installation case 871 provided on the top surface of one side of the installation plate 801, and the coffee capsules Cs transferred through the coffee capsule transfer unit 850 provide coffee. As a part from which the original solution can be extracted, hot water is supplied to the inside of the coffee capsule (Cs) by piercing the upper sealing surface (890) of the coffee capsule (Cs) and through the hot water supplied by piercing the lower surface of the coffee capsule (Cs). It plays the role of extracting the coffee juice and allowing it to fall freely.

To this end, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the coffee extract extracting unit 870 largely consists of an extracting unit installation case 871, a pressure plate 872, a pressure support 878, and a pressure cover member 873. , It has a configuration including a lifting shaft 874, a lifting motor 875, a lifting detection plate 877, a lifting detection sensor 879.

Here, the extraction unit installation case 871 is an exterior case that is erected in a block structure in the shape of a D-shaped on the upper surface of one side of the installation plate 801 to support and fix the components of the coffee extract extraction unit 870 to protect them. The elevating motor 875 and the elevating gear box 876 are fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the extractor installation case 871, and the partition plate 871a is vertically positioned at the center of the inner surface of the extractor installation case 871. It is installed and provided, and on the front side of the partition plate 871a, from the bottom, the pressure plate 872, the pressure cover member 873, the elevation detection plate 877, and the elevation shaft 874 are sequentially connected and disposed to extract the It is connected to the elevating gear box 876 and the elevating motor 875 located on the upper surface of the installation case 871 through.

In addition, a plurality of rising and falling detection sensors 879 are arranged side by side in pairs on the rear surface of the partition plate 871a inside the extractor installation case 871, and the upper end of the pressing cover member 873 An elevation sensor 877a is horizontally fixed to the elevation sensor plate 877 fixed to the surface, and an elevation sensor 871b is formed at the end of the elevation sensor 877a in the partition plate 871a. ) and is disposed between the plurality of elevation detection sensors 879 to contact the elevation detection sensors 879.

Therefore, in order to extract the coffee extract from the coffee extract extractor 870, the elevating shaft 874 driven by the elevating motor 875 is rotated so that the pressure cover member 873 and the pressure plate 872 are integrally spiraled. When the coffee capsule (Cs) is pressed down by rotation, as the elevation detection plate 877 fixedly assembled on the pressure cover member 873 rises and falls, the elevation detection zone 877a is interlocked to rise. By detecting the rising and falling state of the lifting and lowering detector 877a in the lowering sensor 879, the rising and lowering state of the coffee extract extractor 870 can be detected and the pressurized state (or the lifting and lowering position) can be controlled. do.

At this time, the pressure plate 872 is a part capable of supplying hot water by punching a hole by pressing the upper sealing surface 890 of the coffee capsule Cs, and a plurality of opening blades 872a are provided on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872. In addition to this arrangement, a hose connector 872b connected to a hot water supply hose (not shown) is provided on one side of the pressure plate 872 to provide hot water to the coffee capsules Cs through the inner surface of the pressure plate 872. has been

Therefore, the hot water supply hose (not shown) is connected to the hot water supply unit (ie, the hot water tank) not shown in the hose connector 872b of the pressure plate 872, so that the coffee capsule Cs is provided inside the coffee extract extraction operation. It can be supplied with hot water.

Of course, there may be cases where it is not necessary to provide an opening blade 872a on the lower surface of the pressing plate 872.

For example, among the types of coffee capsules (Cs) applied to the present invention, coffee capsules of the type (or product) in which hot water can flow into the coffee capsules (Cs) without drilling a hole in the upper sealing surface (890) In the case of (Cs), since there is no need to drill a hole in the upper sealing surface 890, it is natural that there is no need to provide an opening blade 872a on the bottom surface of the pressing plate 872.

In addition, on the bottom surface of the pressing plate 872, silicone sealing rubber made of silicon material is coupled in the form of a rim around the opening blade 872a, and a silicone sealing sealing portion 872c made of silicon is attached to the inside of the silicone sealing rubber. Since it is formed to be inclined, when hot water is supplied toward the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872 and pressure is applied, the hot water is prevented from leaking out due to the silicon sealing and compression portion 872c.

The pressure tray 878 is a member used when it is necessary to forcibly drill a hole in the bottom of the coffee capsule Cs when extracting the coffee juice. While supporting the bottom side, it serves as a passage to guide the coffee juice extracted from the coffee capsules (Cs) to fall downward through the bottom side of the installation plate (801).

That is, the pressure support 878 is located on the bottom side of the coffee capsule Cs opposite to the pressure plate 872, and the coffee capsule Cs is pressed by the pressure plate 872 and pushed downward by about 4 mm. When it is eaten, it contacts the bottom surface of the coffee capsule (Cs) and makes a hole in the bottom surface of the coffee capsule (Cs) to serve as a passage to guide the coffee extract extracted by the hot water supplied through the pressure plate 872 to free fall. is to do

To this end, a support tip 878a having a pointed structure capable of piercing a hole is vertically protruded at the center of the upper end of the pressure support stand 878, and a penetrating point through which coffee juice is discharged is formed in the center of the support tip 878a. A ball is formed, and on the upper surface of the pressure base 878, which is the periphery of the support tip 878a, the coffee juice cannot escape through the through hole in the center of the support tip 878a, and flows down along the outer circumferential surface of the support tip 878a. A through hole 878b through which the coffee liquid can be discharged is formed.

That is, when a hole is drilled in the bottom surface of the coffee capsule (Cs) with the support tip (878a), a structurally fine gap is formed between the hole formed on the bottom surface of the coffee capsule (Cs) and the support tip (878a), Through this gap, the coffee juice flows down along the outer circumferential surface of the support tip 878a, and the coffee juice flowing down in this way is discharged downward through the through hole 878b formed on the upper surface of the pressure holder 878.

In addition, the lower surface of the pressure support 878 is in communication with the coffee undiluted solution discharge hole 805 formed through the installation plate 801.

At this time, depending on the type of the coffee capsule (Cs), if there is no need to forcibly drill a hole in the bottom of the coffee capsule (Cs) to discharge the coffee juice, there is no need to provide a pressure support (878). .

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, among the types of coffee capsules (Cs), when manufacturing the coffee capsules (Cs), a plurality of micro-holes (891b) are formed on the bottom surface of the coffee capsules (Cs), this The micro-holes 891b may be made of a structure that is blocked with a non-woven fabric (not shown) through which coffee extract in a liquid state can escape.

That is, in the case of the coffee capsule Cs as described above, the fine through hole 891b is closed by the non-woven fabric in a state where coffee beans are normally accommodated inside the coffee capsule Cs, so that the one-two coffee grains do not escape. And, when extracting the coffee liquid, hot water flows into the coffee capsule Cs, so that the coffee liquid can flow out through the non-woven fabric blocking the micropores Cs.

Therefore, in the vending machine using the coffee capsules (Cs) of the above type, there is no need to forcibly drill a hole in the bottom of the coffee capsules (Cs) in order to extract the coffee juice, so a member such as the pressure support (878) It is not necessary to provide a .

The pressing cover member 873 surrounds the entire pressing plate 872 at the top of the pressing plate 872 and is fixedly coupled, and is assembled to the upper side of the pressing cover member 973 by screwing with the elevating shaft 874, thereby lifting and lowering. As the elevating shaft 874 rotates by receiving the rotational force of the motor 875, the pressing cover member 873 moves up and down along the elevating shaft 874 through spiral rotation.

At this time, the elevating motor 875 is an electric motor capable of normal and reverse rotation, and the rotational force of the elevating motor 875 is transmitted to the elevating shaft 874 via the elevating gear box 876, and the elevating motor 875 It is natural that forward and reverse rotation of ) is controlled through a control signal from a control unit (not shown).

In addition, the drive control signal and the stop control signal required for normal and reverse rotation of the lifting and lowering motor 875 in the control unit (not shown) are preset according to the lifting and lowering state of the pressure plate 872 detected by the lifting and lowering detection sensor 879. controlled by the process.

Therefore, in order to extract the coffee extract from the coffee extract extractor 870, the elevating shaft 874 driven by the elevating motor 875 is rotated so that the pressure cover member 873 and the pressure plate 872 are integrally spiraled. When the coffee capsule (Cs) is pressed down by rotation, as the elevation detection plate 877 fixedly assembled on the pressure cover member 873 rises and falls, the elevation detection zone 877a is interlocked to rise. By detecting the rising and falling state of the lifting and lowering detector 877a in the lowering sensor 879, the rising and lowering state of the coffee extract extractor 870 can be detected and the pressurized state (or the lifting and lowering position) can be controlled. do.

At this time, the pressing plate 872 presses the upper part of the capsule holder film 1120, which is the upper sealing surface of the coffee capsules (Cs), and pierces a hole to supply hot water. A hose connected to a hot water supply hose (not shown) to provide hot water to the coffee capsules (Cs) through the inner surface of the pressure plate 872 on one side of the pressure plate 872 as well as the opening blade 872a of the arrangement. A connector 872b is provided.

Here, on the bottom surface of the pressing plate 872, silicone sealing rubber made of silicon material is coupled in the form of a rim around the opening blade 872a, and a silicone sealing sealing portion 872c made of silicon is attached to the inside of the silicone sealing rubber. Since it is formed to be inclined, when hot water is supplied toward the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872 and pressure is applied, the hot water is prevented from leaking out due to the silicon sealing and compression portion 872c.

Therefore, the hot water supply hose (not shown) is connected to the hot water supply unit (ie, the hot water tank) not shown in the hose connector 872b of the pressure plate 872, so that the coffee capsule Cs is provided inside the coffee extract extraction operation. It can be supplied with hot water.

Of course, there may be cases where it is not necessary to provide an opening blade 872a on the lower surface of the pressing plate 872.

For example, among the types of coffee capsules (Cs) applied to the present invention, hot water can flow into the coffee capsules (Cs) without drilling a hole in the capsule holder film 1120, which is the top sealing surface (or product ) In the case of coffee capsules (Cs), there is no need to drill a hole in the capsule holder film 1120, which is the top sealing surface, so it is natural that there is no need to provide an opening blade 872a on the bottom surface of the pressing plate 872. .
