The upper junction part and the lower junction part may be formed to have a predetermined length in the horizontal direction so that the upper cover 72 and the lower cover 73 can be effectively joined together.

As an example, in order for the user to more easily separate the capsule from the capsule container, the outer diameter of the upper junction part may be larger than the outer diameter of the upper part of the body part.

According to the embodiment, in order to minimize the loading space of the capsule 7 and reduce the amount of use of the lower cover 73 during manufacturing, the outer diameter of the lower junction is formed equal to the outer diameter of the lower end of the body, and the inner diameter of the lower junction (or opening Diameter of) may be formed smaller than the lower inner diameter or the minimum inner diameter of the body portion.

The body portion may be formed such that a width becomes narrower from top to bottom. For example, the body portion may have a cylindrical shape in which the width of the outer diameter and the inner diameter become narrower from top to bottom, but this is not necessarily the case.

Since the capsule 7 according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a lower cover 73 so that the lower portion of the capsule 7 is more easily perforated (cut), the beverage material inside the capsule can more easily flow out.

The upper cover 72 and the lower cover 73 may be made of a material that is easily perforated by the upper perforation part and the lower perforation part of the dispenser 3 . For example, the upper cover 72 and the lower cover 73 may be made of a soft material such as aluminum foil or polyethylene film. The strength of the upper cover 72 and the lower cover 73 may be lower than that of the capsule body 71 . In this case, when the upper cover 72 and the lower cover 73 are perforated by the perforation part, not only a part contacting the perforation part but also an adjacent part may be cut. In addition, when water is introduced through the cut upper cover 72, the cut area of the upper cover 72 and the lower cover 73 may be wider due to water pressure. As a result, water or air is more easily introduced into the inside through the upper part of the capsule 7, and the beverage material can be more easily extracted through the lower part of the capsule 7.

Beverage materials may be accommodated inside the capsule 7 . The beverage material contained inside the capsule 7 may be in liquid form or in powder form. When the upper cover 72 and the lower cover 73 are cut, the beverage material or a mixture of the beverage material and water may be extracted into the dispenser extraction passages 312, 322, and 332 through the lower portion of the capsule 7.

The beverage material accommodated inside the capsule 7 can be more effectively extracted as the cut area of the lower cover 73 is wider. According to an embodiment of the present invention, guides may be formed on an outer surface of the capsule 7, specifically, an outer surface of the capsule body 71 and an inner surface of the inner receiving body in which the capsule 7 is accommodated. Due to the guide, the size of the perforation increases when the lower cover 73 is cut, so that the beverage material inside the capsule 7 can be smoothly extracted. Embodiments related to the guide will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7 later.

Capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 detachably accommodating the capsules C1, C2, and C3 containing beverage materials may be formed in the capsule receiving body 36 of the dispenser 3. In the present specification, it is illustrated that a plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 are formed in the capsule accommodating body 36, but one capsule container may be formed according to embodiments.

The plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 may be arranged in a line in the capsule accommodating body 36. The plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 may be formed to be spaced apart from the capsule receiving body 36 in the front-back direction or the left-right direction. The beverage maker is preferably configured to be slim in the left and right directions, the dispenser 3 may be formed long in the front and rear directions, and the plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 are attached to the capsule receiving body 36 in the front and rear directions. It can be formed spaced apart.

The capsule accommodating body 36 may include a locker 372 for locking the lid 38. Also, a locking portion in which the locker 372 is locked may be formed in the lead module 37 , in particular, the lead 38 .

When the lid 38 is closed, the locker 372 may lock the lid 38 so that the lid 38 does not rotate arbitrarily to open the capsule containers 31, 32, and 33. As described above, when the user presses the unlocking unit 371, the lid 38 is unlocked and can rotate upward.

The lid module 37 may include a lid 38 covering the capsule accommodating body 36 and an unlocking unit 371 unlocking the lid 38 . The lid 38 may be slidably disposed or rotatably connected to the capsule receiving body 36 . The lid 38 may be hinged to the capsule receiving body 36 .

The lead 38 may be composed of a combination of a plurality of members. For example, the lead 38 may include a lower lead 39 and an upper lead 40 . At least one of the lower lead 39 and the upper lead 40 may be connected to the capsule receiving body 36 .

When the user presses the unlocking unit 371, the locking of the lid 38 may be released. As the locking is released, the lead 38 hinged with the capsule receiving body 36 may rotate upward of the capsule receiving body 36 . As the lid rotates upward, the capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 provided in the capsule accommodating body 36 may be opened to the outside.

The plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 may be opened together or closed together by the lid module 37. The sum of the areas of the plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 may be smaller than the area of the lead module 37.

The lid module 37 can open and close the plurality of capsule containers 31, 31, and 32 together. The lid module 37 may be connected to the capsule accommodating body 36 through hinges 38A and 38B. A hinge shaft 38A may be formed on one of the lead module 37 and the capsule receiving body 36 . The hinge shaft 38A may be formed horizontally on any one of the lead module 37 and the capsule receiving body 36. A hinge shaft connecting portion 38B rotatably supported by the hinge shaft 38A may be formed on the other one of the lead module 37 and the capsule receiving body 36 . The lid module 37 may be rotated up and down around the hinge shaft 38A. The lid module 37 is formed larger than the sum of the areas of the plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33, and is rotated around the hinge axis 38A to cover all of the plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33. It can be open or closed altogether. Depending on the embodiment, the hinge shaft 38A may further include a torsion spring that is formed to surround the outside of the hinge shaft 38A and presses upward rotation of the lead module 37 .

It is possible to form a pressing part that does.

Meanwhile, the dispenser 3 may also include a lead module for each capsule container. That is, in the dispenser 3, one lid module can open and close one capsule container. In this case, when three capsule containers are formed in the dispenser 3, three lead modules that can rotate independently of each other may be connected to the capsule receiving body 36. However, when a plurality of lead modules are installed in the capsule accommodating body 36, the number of parts of the dispenser 3 is large, and mounting and separating operations of the plurality of capsules may be cumbersome.

On the other hand, when one lead module 37 opens and closes all of the plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33, the number of parts can be minimized, the structure is simple, and the user can conveniently use the dispenser 3 can handle A user can open all of the plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 by a simple operation of rotating the lid module 37 upward. In addition, the user can cover all of the plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 at once by a simple operation of rotating the lid module 37 in a downward direction.

When the user closes the lid 38 after the capsules C1, C2, and C3 are seated, the capsule C1 is opened by the upper perforations 441, 451, and 461 provided in the lower lid 39. (C2) The upper cover 72 of (C3) may be perforated. In addition, the lower cover 73 of the capsules C1, C2, and C3 may be perforated by the lower perforated part 31A included in the capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 (see FIG. 4). As the upper cover 72 and the lower cover 73 are perforated, beverage materials inside the capsules C1, C2, and C3 can be extracted. Meanwhile, the upper perforated portions 441, 451, and 461 may function as pressing portions that press down the capsules C1, C2, and C3 when the lid 38 is closed.

In particular, the capsule containers 31, 32, 33 and the capsules C1, C2, and C3 according to the embodiment of the present invention use guides to increase the size of holes formed when the lower cover 73 is perforated. By having, the beverage material inside the capsules C1, C2, and C3 can be extracted effectively. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7 below.

Each of FIGS. 4 and 6 is a cross-sectional view of a capsule container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and each of FIGS. 5 and 7 is a perspective view of a capsule according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the following drawings, only embodiments of the first capsule container 31 among the plurality of capsule containers 31, 32, and 33 are shown, but the embodiments of the first capsule container 31 do not include the second capsule Substantially the same can be applied to the container 32 and the third capsule container 33 .

Referring to FIGS. 4 to 7 , the capsule container 31 may form a space for accommodating the capsule 7 containing the beverage material therein. To form the space, the capsule container 31 may include a lower plate on which the capsule 7 is seated, and a circumferential wall 317 formed on the lower plate and accommodating the capsule 7 therein.

The capsule container 31 may include a lower perforation portion 31A forming a hole in the lower portion of the capsule 7 . The lower perforated portion 31A may be installed to protrude into the capsule container 31 from the lower plate of the capsule container 31 . As shown in FIG. 4 , a plurality of lower perforations 31A may be installed in the capsule container 31, but this is not necessarily the case. When the capsule 7 is mounted, it may be inserted into the capsule container 31 (or seated on the lower plate of the capsule container 31) at an upper position of the capsule container 31. The lower cover 73 of the capsule 7 can be perforated in contact with the lower perforation 31A provided in the capsule container 31, and as a result, the lower cover 73 of the capsule 7 contains water and beverage materials. A hole may be formed through which is discharged together.

The lower plate of the capsule container 31 may be formed with a lower guide 312A having an extraction passage through which a mixture of water and beverage material is guided. As shown in FIG. 2 , a valve 314 may be connected to the lower guide 312A. The lower guide 312A may constitute a part of the dispenser outlet passage 312 shown in FIG. 2 .

Guides may be formed in the capsule container 31 and the capsule 7 to guide the capsule 7 to be inserted into or extracted from the space formed in the capsule container 31 while being rotated.

4 and 5, as an example of the guide, a spiral groove 317A formed in a spiral shape is formed on the inner surface of the capsule container 31, and a protrusion 71A is formed on the outer surface of the capsule 7. It can be. The shape of the protrusion 71A formed on the capsule 7 may be implemented in various ways.

For example, the spiral groove 317A may be formed on the inner surface of the circumferential wall 317, and at least one protrusion 71A may protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the capsule body 71.

When the capsule 7 is inserted into the capsule container 31, the spiral groove 317A may guide the protrusion 71A. Accordingly, when the capsule 7 is inserted into the capsule container 31, it can be inserted while being rotated by the guide.

As another embodiment, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7 , a protrusion 317B may be formed on the inner surface of the capsule container 31 and a spiral groove 71B may be formed on the outer surface of the capsule 7 . That is, unlike the embodiments shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, at least one protrusion 317B protrudes from the inner surface of the circumferential wall 317, and the spiral groove 71B is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the capsule body 71. can be formed in In this case, when the capsule 7 is inserted, the spiral groove 71B is guided along the protrusion 317B, and the capsule 7 can be inserted into the capsule container 31 while rotating.

Meanwhile, when the spiral groove 71B is formed in the capsule 7, the thickness of the capsule body 71 may increase, and manufacturing difficulty and cost may increase. Accordingly, it is preferable that the projection 71A is formed on the capsule 7 and the spiral groove 317A is formed on the capsule container 31, but this is not necessarily the case.

The lower perforation 31A may be spaced apart from the central axis of the capsule container 31 (or the rotational axis of the capsule 7). Accordingly, the lower perforation portion 31A may cut an area spaced apart from the center of the lower cover 73 when the capsule 7 is inserted. As a result, the cut area of the lower cover 73 can be widened as the capsule 7 rotates.

In addition, since the lower perforation part 31A is provided at a distance from the circumferential wall 317, the lower cover 73 can be perforated more easily.

Depending on the embodiment, the lower perforated portion 31A may be formed obliquely to have an inclination angle with the lower plate of the capsule container 31 . As the lower perforation portion 31A is formed obliquely, the lower cover 73 of the capsule 7 inserted while rotating can be more easily perforated.

An operation of inserting and piercing the capsule 7 into the capsule container 31 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 to 14 later.

8 and 9 are a cross-sectional view and a bottom view of the capsule before the capsule is seated in the capsule container, and FIGS. 10 and 11 are a cross-sectional view and a bottom view of the capsule when the capsule is seated in the capsule container during piercing. 12 and 13 are a cross-sectional view and a bottom view of the capsule when the lead module of the dispenser covers the capsule and the capsule container, and FIG. 14 is a capsule for comparatively explaining the perforated state of the capsule when the embodiment of the present invention is not applied. is the bottom view of

The capsule container 31 and capsule C1 shown in FIGS. 8 to 14 will be described assuming that they correspond to the capsule container 31 and capsule 7 according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, The embodiments of FIGS. 8 to 14 may be similarly applied to the capsule container 31 and the capsule 7 according to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 .

First, with reference to FIG. 8, components included in the capsule accommodating body 36 of the dispenser 3 will be schematically described.

The capsule accommodating body 36 may include a housing 36A that protects the outer circumference and lower portion of the capsule container 31 . At least a part of the capsule container 31 may be accommodated inside the housing 36A.

The housing 36A may include an outer accommodating body 362A forming a space accommodating the capsule container 31 . A through portion 363A through which the lower guide 312A passes may be formed in the outer accommodating body 362A. As shown in FIG. 8 , the penetrating portion 363A may be formed to have a predetermined height inside the outer receiving body 362A. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the lower guide 312A and the capsule container 31 from shaking from side to side. In addition, beverage ingredients and water may flow out into the dispenser outlet passage 312 through the lower guide 312A and may not flow into the housing 36A. Thus, the cleanliness of the housing 36A can be maintained.

An elastic member 316 may be provided between the lower portion of the housing 36A and the capsule container 31 . The elastic member 316 may elastically support the capsule container 31 from the housing 36A.

For example, the elastic member 316 is implemented as a compression spring that surrounds a portion of the outer circumference of the lower guide 312A and the outer circumference of the penetrating portion 363A, so that it can be effectively fixed by the lower guide 312A and the penetrating portion 363A. can

When the capsule container 31 is opened, the elastic member 316 may be tensioned to raise the capsule container 31 . Accordingly, the capsule container 31 may protrude from the top of the housing 36A by a predetermined height.

Depending on the embodiment, a seating portion 318 surrounding a portion of the outer circumference of the lower guide 312A and at least a portion of the elastic member 316 may be formed in the lower portion of the capsule container 31 . That is, an elastic member accommodating space in which the elastic member 316 is accommodated may be formed between the seat portion 318 and the lower guide 312A. Due to the formation of the elastic member accommodating space, the elastic member 316 can be more effectively protected.

The seating portion 318 may contact the lower surface of the outer receiving body 362A when the lid 38 is closed and the capsule container 31 is closed. Accordingly, the capsule container 31 can be seated in the housing 36A.

A stopper 315 limiting the degree of elevation of the capsule container 31 may be disposed under the housing 36A. The stopper 315 may be caught on the lower surface of the housing 36A when the capsule container 31 ascends, and may be spaced apart from the lower surface of the housing 36A when the capsule container 31 descends. As the stopper 315 is caught on the lower surface of the housing 36A, the capsule container 31 may no longer rise. That is, the stopper 315 limits the rising height of the capsule container 31 to within a predetermined height, thereby preventing failure due to excessive elevation of the capsule container 31 or loss due to separation.

The stopper 315 may be implemented in a form including the valve 314 described above. Depending on the embodiment, the valve 314 may also function as the stopper.

Referring to FIG. 8 , the lower cover 73 may not be perforated before the capsule 7 is seated in the capsule container 31 . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9 , a hole may not be formed in the lower cover 73 of the capsule 7 .

Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, after the capsule C1 is seated in the capsule container 31, the user rotates the lead module 37 to move the capsule container 31 and the capsule ( C1) can be covered.

When the lid module 37 starts to cover the capsule container 31 and the capsule C1, the pressing portion formed on the lid module 37 presses the capsule C1 downward, and the capsule C1 presses the capsule container 31 downward. ) can be lowered along with the capsule container 31 while pressing it downward.

When the capsule container 31 descends as described above, the elastic member 316 may elastically support the capsule container 31 while being compressed by the capsule container 31 .

Also, when the capsule C1 descends as described above, the capsule C1 may be punctured by the lead module 37 .

When the capsule container 31 is lowered, the lower guide 312A, the valve 314, and the stopper 315 may each descend. When the seating portion 318 of the capsule container 31 contacts the bottom surface of the outer receiving body 362A, the capsule container 31 does not descend any further.

When the capsule container 31 no longer descends due to the seating portion 318, an external force applied to the upper cover 72 of the capsule C1 may increase. Accordingly, the protrusion 71A formed on the outer surface of the capsule C1 may be guided along the spiral groove 317A formed on the inner surface of the capsule container 31 . Since the protrusion 71A is guided along the spiral groove 317A, the capsule C1 can be inserted into the capsule container 31 while rotating.

As the capsule C1 is rotated and inserted into the capsule container 31, the lower cover 73 may start to be cut by the lower perforation 31A. As shown in FIG. 11 , since the capsule C1 is inserted while rotating, the perforations 731 of the lower cover 73 may be formed along concentric circles.

Referring to FIG. 12 , when the lid module 37 covers the capsule container 31 and the capsule C1, the lid module 37 may be locked to the locker 372 of the capsule receiving body 36. In this case, even if the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 316 is applied through the capsule container 31 and the capsule C1, the state in which the lid module 37 is locked to the locker 372 can be maintained, and the lid module ( 37) can be limited.

After the lead module 37 is closed, the beverage maker may supply water through the water supply passage 4. The supplied water may be guided to the inner water supply passage 422 via the dispenser inlet passage 311 of the lead module 37 and the water supply body 41 . Water guided to the inner water supply passage 422 may flow into the capsule C1 through a hole formed as the upper cover 72 is perforated. The water introduced into the capsule (C1) is mixed with the beverage material inside the capsule (C1), and the mixed water and beverage material pass through the lower guide (312A) and the dispenser outlet passage (312) through the perforation formed in the lower cover (73). may spill out.

Referring to FIG. 13, when the lid module 37 completely covers the capsule container 31 and the capsule C1, the capsule C1 is inserted while rotating more than in FIG. 10, so that the lower cover of the capsule C1 ( The size of the perforation 732 formed in 73) may be further increased compared to FIG. 10 .

Meanwhile, when the capsule C1 is inserted without rotating, the size of the hole 733 formed in the lower cover 73 may be small, as shown in FIG. 14 . If the size of the perforation is small, the beverage material accommodated inside the capsule C1 may not be smoothly extracted.

That is, in the case of the present invention, since the capsule C1 is inserted into the capsule container 31 while being rotated by the guides 317A and 71A formed in the capsule container 31 and the capsule C1, the lower perforated portion 31A The size of the perforation formed by As the size of the perforation increases, the beverage material accommodated inside the capsule C1 is extracted more effectively, so that the quality of the prepared beverage, such as taste or aroma, can be prevented from deteriorating.

On the other hand, flow passages such as the main flow passage 2, the water supply passage 4, the beverage ejection passage 61, the gas ejection passage 71, the air injection passage 81, and the air supply passage 154 described in the present invention are fluid It can be formed by a hose or tube through which the can pass, it can be composed of a plurality of hoses or tubes that are continuous in the longitudinal direction, and two hoses or tubes disposed with other components such as a control valve interposed therebetween Of course, it is also possible to include a tube.

The above description is merely an example of the technical idea of the present invention, and various modifications and variations can be made to those skilled in the art without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.

Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical idea of the present invention, but to explain, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.
