음료 추출장치 및 방법{EXTRACTION APPARATUS OF BEVERAGE AND METHOD USING THE SAME}Beverage Extractor and Method {EXTRACTION APPARATUS OF BEVERAGE AND METHOD USING THE SAME}

본 발명은 커피 분말이나 차 원료, 한약재 등이 충진된 캡슐을 이용하여 음료를 추출하는 장치 및 방법에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 캡슐의 체적이나 충진물의 특성에 따라 용해되거나 우려내는 적정한 시간을 설정할 수 있는 음료 추출장치 및 방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for extracting a beverage using capsules filled with coffee powder, tea ingredients, herbal medicines, and the like. It relates to a beverage extraction apparatus and method that can be.

일반적으로 커피를 제조하기 위한 일회용 팩으로서 캡슐이 사용되고 있다. 캡슐은 사용자가 정확한 커피의 양을 계량해야 하는 번거로움이 없고, 또한 커피 분말을 기밀상태로 보관하기 때문에 습기로부터 보호되어 커피 분말의 변질 없이 장시간 보관할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 향기밀봉(aroma-tight)방식으로 패키징되어 활용도가 높아지고 있는 실정이다. Capsules are generally used as disposable packs for making coffee. The capsule has no need for the user to weigh the exact amount of coffee, and because it keeps the coffee powder in an airtight state, it is protected from moisture and can be stored for a long time without deterioration of the coffee powder. It is packaged as a situation where the utilization is increasing.

종래의 커피 추출은 캡슐 내부로 온수가 공급되면 커피 분말에 온수가 흡수되어 용해 또는 우려진 후, 자연적으로 낙하하는 커피를 취출하기 때문에 실질적으로 온수가 캡슐 내부에 머무르는 시간이 짧아 커피를 생성하는 충분한 시간을 갖지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 커피 분말의 충진양에 비해 추출되는 커피의 농도는 그에 못 미치는 결과를 초래한다. In conventional coffee extraction, when hot water is supplied into the capsule, hot water is absorbed by the coffee powder to dissolve or become concerned, and then the coffee falls naturally. There is a problem of not having time. Therefore, the concentration of coffee extracted compared to the filling amount of coffee powder results in less.

이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 출원인은 개선된 음료 추출장치 및 방법을 특허출원한 바 있다. 도 1을 참조하면, 종래의 음료 추출장치(100)는 펌프(110)와, 히터(120)와, 온도센서(130)와, 급수밸브(140)와, 상부펀치(150)와, 트레이(T)와, 하부펀치(160)와, 추출밸브(180)를 포함한다. In order to solve this problem, the applicant has filed a patent for an improved beverage extraction apparatus and method. Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional beverage extracting apparatus 100 includes a pump 110, a heater 120, a temperature sensor 130, a water supply valve 140, an upper punch 150, and a tray ( T), the lower punch 160, and the extraction valve 180.

상기 상부펀치(150)는 상기 캡슐(190)의 커버(192)를 개구하고, 분배판(193)상에 온수를 공급하는 구성요소이다. 따라서 상부펀치(150)는 중공관 형태로 형성되어 내부를 통해 온수가 공급된다. The upper punch 150 is a component that opens the cover 192 of the capsule 190 and supplies hot water to the distribution plate 193. Therefore, the upper punch 150 is formed in the form of a hollow tube is supplied with hot water through the inside.

도 2를 참조하면, 급수밸브(140)는 코일(141,142)과, 상기 코일 사이에서 전후진하는 코어(143)로 구성된다. 도 2의 (a)와 같이 상기 코일(141,142)에 전원을 인가하지 않은 상태에서는 코어(143)가 유로(P)를 폐쇄하고(normal close), 도 2의 (b)와 같이 코일(141,142)에 전원이 인가되면 코어(143)가 후진하여 유로(P)를 개방하도록 구성된다. 도 2는 급수밸브를 도시한 것이지만, 추출밸브도 동일하게 구성된다. Referring to FIG. 2, the water supply valve 140 includes coils 141 and 142 and a core 143 which is moved back and forth between the coils. In a state in which power is not applied to the coils 141 and 142 as shown in FIG. 2A, the core 143 closes the flow path P (normal close), and the coils 141 and 142 as shown in FIG. 2B. When power is applied to the core 143 is configured to retreat to open the flow path (P). 2 shows a water supply valve, but the extraction valve is also configured in the same way.

도 3을 참조하여 종래 음료 추출장치의 작동상태 및 이를 이용한 음료 추출방법을 설명한다. With reference to Figure 3 will be described the operation state and the beverage extraction method using the conventional beverage extraction apparatus.

먼저, 음료 추출장치의 케이스에는 기능버튼으로 음료의 종류를 선택하는 버튼과, 농도를 대중소로 구분하는 버튼이 형성되어 있다. First, the case of the beverage extracting device is provided with a button for selecting the type of beverage as a function button, and a button for dividing the concentration into large and small.

한편, 사용자가 캡슐(190)을 트레이(T)에 로딩하면 상부펀치(150)가 캡슐(190)의 커버(192)를 개구하고 하부펀치(160)는 캡슐의 하면에 개구부를 형성한다. 이 상태에서 커피 또는 차 등의 음료를 선택하고, 농도를 선택하면, 제어부에서 캡슐의 체적 또는 음료의 특성에 따라 급수밸브(140)와 추출밸브(180)의 작동시간을 설정된 정보에 따라 제어한다. 보다 구체적으로 설명하면, 다음과 같다. Meanwhile, when the user loads the capsule 190 into the tray T, the upper punch 150 opens the cover 192 of the capsule 190 and the lower punch 160 forms an opening in the lower surface of the capsule. In this state, if a beverage such as coffee or tea is selected and the concentration is selected, the controller controls the operation time of the water supply valve 140 and the extraction valve 180 according to the set information according to the volume of the capsule or the characteristics of the beverage. . More specifically, it is as follows.

먼저, 작동신호가 인가되면, 트레이(T)에 캡슐(190)이 로딩되었는지를 감지하고, 캡슐이 로딩된 상태라면 펌프(110)가 작동하여 급수하게 되고, 급수되는 물은 히터(120)에 의해 가열된다. 온수의 온도가 적정하면 추출밸브(180)는 폐쇄된 상태에서 급수밸브(140)가 1차 개방되고, 음료의 종류(전용 캡슐의 체적)에 따라 급수밸브(140)의 개방시간이 설정되어 온수가 캡슐(190)로 1차 공급된다. 구체적으로 설명하면, 캡슐(190)의 분배판(193)에 온수가 공급되면, 분배판(193)에 형성된 관통공을 통해 온수가 균일하게 공급된다. 이렇게 공급된 온수는 충진물(P)을 용해하거나 우려낸 다음 부직포(194)와 필터(195)를 거쳐 캡슐 하부에 형성된 개구부를 통해 토출되는 것이다. First, when an operation signal is applied, the tray T detects whether the capsule 190 is loaded, and if the capsule is loaded, the pump 110 operates to supply water, and the water to be supplied to the heater 120. Heated by When the temperature of the hot water is appropriate, the extraction valve 180 is first opened in the closed state, and the opening time of the water supply valve 140 is set according to the type of beverage (volume of the dedicated capsule). Is primarily supplied to the capsule 190. Specifically, when hot water is supplied to the distribution plate 193 of the capsule 190, the hot water is uniformly supplied through the through holes formed in the distribution plate 193. The supplied hot water is discharged through the opening formed in the lower portion of the capsule through the nonwoven fabric 194 and the filter 195 after dissolving or filling the filling (P).

다음으로, 상기 급수밸브(140)의 설정된 개방시간에 따라 급수밸브(140)가 폐쇄된 후, 소정시간 동안 캡슐에 충진된 충진물이 온수에 용해되거나 우려내는 시간을 갖는다. 이 때, 추출밸브(180)는 여전히 폐쇄상태를 유지하기 때문에 음료가 토출되지 않고 충분히 용해되거나 우려지는 것이다. Next, after the water supply valve 140 is closed according to the set opening time of the water supply valve 140, the filling material filled in the capsule for a predetermined time has a time to dissolve or worry about hot water. At this time, since the extraction valve 180 is still kept closed, the beverage is not discharged and is sufficiently dissolved or concerned.

다음으로, 충진물이 용해되거나 우려진 다음, 급수밸브(140)가 2차 개방되어 설정된 농도에 맞게 온수가 2차 공급된다. 급수밸브(140)가 2차 개방될 때, 추출밸브(180)도 동시에 개방되어 음료를 토출할 수 있게 되는 것이다. Next, after the filler is dissolved or worries, the water supply valve 140 is secondarily opened to supply hot water to the set concentration. When the water supply valve 140 is secondarily opened, the extraction valve 180 is also opened at the same time to discharge the beverage.

그러나 솔레노이드밸브의 동작 제어가 어려울 뿐만 아니라 솔레노이드 밸브 자체가 매우 고가라는 문제가 있다. However, it is difficult to control the operation of the solenoid valve and there is a problem that the solenoid valve itself is very expensive.

본 발명은 상술한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로서, 본 발명의 목적은 캡슐의 체적이나 충진물의 특성에 따라 용해되거나 우려내는 적정한 시간을 설정할 수 있는 음료 추출장치 및 방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, the object of the present invention relates to a beverage extraction apparatus and method that can set the appropriate time to dissolve or brew depending on the volume of the capsule or the characteristics of the filling.

In this state, when a beverage such as coffee or tea is selected and the concentration is selected, the flow control sensor controls the operating time of the pump and the extraction valve 280 according to the set information according to the volume of the capsule or the characteristics of the beverage. More specifically, it is as follows.

먼저, 작동신호가 인가되면, 트레이(T)에 캡슐(190)이 로딩되었는지를 감지하고, 캡슐이 로딩된 상태라면 유량제어센서의 제어에 의해 펌프(230)가 작동하여 급수하게 되고, 급수되는 물은 히터(240)에 의해 가열된다. 온수의 온도가 적정하면 추출밸브(280)는 폐쇄된 상태에서 유량제어센서에 의해 설정된 유량만큼 펌프가 온수를 공급한다(유량설정1). 이에 따라 음료의 종류(전용 캡슐의 체적)에 따라 펌프의 작동시간이 설정되어 온수가 캡슐(190)로 1차 공급된다. 구체적으로 설명하면, 캡슐(190)의 분배판(193)에 온수가 공급되면, 분배판(193)에 형성된 관통공을 통해 온수가 균일하게 공급된다. 이렇게 공급된 온수는 충진물(P)을 용해하거나 우려낸 다음 부직포(194)와 필터(195)를 거쳐 캡슐 하부에 형성된 개구부를 통해 토출되는 것이다. First, when an operation signal is applied, it is detected whether the capsule 190 is loaded in the tray T, and if the capsule is loaded, the pump 230 operates to supply water by controlling the flow control sensor, and Water is heated by the heater 240. If the temperature of the hot water is appropriate, the extraction valve 280 in the closed state, the pump supplies the hot water by the flow rate set by the flow control sensor (flow rate setting 1). Accordingly, the operating time of the pump is set according to the type of beverage (volume of the dedicated capsule) so that hot water is first supplied to the capsule 190. Specifically, when hot water is supplied to the distribution plate 193 of the capsule 190, the hot water is uniformly supplied through the through holes formed in the distribution plate 193. The supplied hot water is discharged through the opening formed in the lower portion of the capsule through the nonwoven fabric 194 and the filter 195 after dissolving or filling the filling (P).

다음으로, 상기 펌프(230)의 동작이 정지된 후, 소정시간 동안 캡슐에 충진된 충진물이 온수에 용해되거나 우려내는 시간을 갖는다. 이 때, 추출밸브(280)는 여전히 폐쇄상태를 유지하기 때문에 음료가 토출되지 않고 충분히 용해되거나 우려지는 것이다. Next, after the operation of the pump 230 is stopped, the filling filled in the capsule for a predetermined time has a time to dissolve or soak in hot water. At this time, since the extraction valve 280 is still kept closed, the beverage is not discharged and is sufficiently dissolved or concerned.

다음으로, 충진물이 용해되거나 우려진 다음, 유량제어센서(220)는 설정된 농도에 맞게 온수가 2차 공급되도록 다시 펌프(230)를 작동시킨다(유량설정2). 펌프(230)가 2차 작동할 때, 추출밸브(280)도 동시에 개방되어 음료를 토출할 수 있게 되는 것이다. Next, after the filler is dissolved or worries, the flow control sensor 220 operates the pump 230 again so that the hot water is supplied second to the set concentration (flow rate setting 2). When the pump 230 is second operated, the extraction valve 280 is also opened at the same time to be able to discharge the beverage.
