Description

Capsules for extracting traditional tea including red ginseng}

The present invention relates to a capsule for extracting traditional tea, and more specifically, to a capsule for extracting traditional tea containing red ginseng, which enables smooth extraction of traditional tea.

A typical coffee extraction machine is a home cafe machine that allows you to enjoy cafe-like quality coffee at home without the help of a barista. A typical coffee extraction machine was developed to extract coffee on the spot by drilling three holes in the bottom of the capsule containing coffee and pumping hot water at 85 degrees at a pressure of 19 atmospheres.

There are many types of general coffee extraction machines, but the extraction method for each coffee extraction machine is the same, so except for a few convenience features, design, and materials, they all produce similar coffee taste. However, there are subtle differences between coffee extraction machines, so there are models that do not work with compatible capsules. Therefore, when developing capsules, it is essential to test compatibility to ensure that they work in various coffee extraction machines.

A typical capsule used in a coffee extraction machine is made of aluminum with a diameter of 37mm and a height of 38mm. The capsule can contain about 5g of powdered coffee.

By using a coffee extraction machine, anyone can easily enjoy coffee like a coffee shop at home without the need for professional skills such as a barista.

Because of this convenience, coffee extraction machines have become a necessity among European households that consume coffee on a daily basis, with the penetration rate of capsule machines reaching 60-70%.

In order for traditional tea capsules containing red ginseng to be successful, they must work well in a coffee extraction machine (compatibility) and the extraction rate must be as high as possible.

Coffee has little starch, and when extracted with water, the volume expansion is small, so only the coffee components are extracted, whereas red ginseng has a lot of starch, and its volume expands 3 to 5 times when extracted, so the starch components mix with the water and spread through the capsule and machine's outlet. This can cause the machine to stop working.

Therefore, in order for traditional tea capsules containing red ginseng to work well, the problem of red ginseng starch blocking the machine's outlet must be resolved.

If red ginseng is ground in the same way as coffee to make capsules, extraction may not be possible and the machine may even break down. This is because red ginseng and coffee have different physical properties.

As a result of testing red ginseng in granule form in a capsule, there was a problem in that the fine powder of the red ginseng powder combined with water expanded and accumulated in the capsule outlet, clogging the outlet and causing the machine to stop working over time. .

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a capsule for extracting traditional tea containing red ginseng, which can reduce clogging while smoothly extracting traditional tea.

A capsule for extracting traditional tea containing red ginseng according to the present invention for achieving the above object includes a capsule container having an internal receiving space for accommodating the traditional tea, a hot water inlet, and an opening; A lid portion coupled to the opening edge to shield the internal receiving space; and a filter main body watertightly coupled to the capsule container and the lid part while interposed between the capsule container and the lid part, and a filter formed to allow the tea to pass through and the hot water to pass through an area corresponding to the opening area of the filter main body. Includes an extraction filter with balls. As the traditional tea components are extracted by the hot water flowing into the hot water inlet, the clogging of the filter is reduced so that the traditional tea liquid containing sufficient traditional tea components can be discharged smoothly through the filter hole, and the extractability of the traditional tea components can be improved.

In addition, the extraction filter is comprised of a plurality of filters, and when disposed in a plurality of areas, the traditional tea powder is filtered by the extraction filters arranged in the plurality of areas, so the load that clogs the extraction filter in the end area can be reduced, which is preferable.

Here, it is preferable that the area of the filter hole of the extraction filter gradually becomes smaller along the direction of the flow of hot water, so that the traditional tea powder can be sequentially filtered out.

In the case where the diameter of the filter body is 37 mm, it is preferable that 150 to 200 filter holes are formed with a size of 0.3 to 0.6 mm because the extraction of traditional tea can be smoothly performed and the blockage shape can be reduced.

According to the present invention, as the traditional tea components are extracted by the hot water flowing into the hot water inlet, the clogging of the filter is reduced so that the traditional tea liquid containing sufficient traditional tea components can be smoothly discharged through the filter hole, and the extractability of the traditional tea components is improved. There is a possible effect.

In addition, since the traditional tea powder is filtered by the extraction filters arranged in a plurality of areas, there is an effect of reducing the load that clogs the extraction filters in the terminal areas.

In addition, the traditional tea powder can be filtered out sequentially, and the extraction of the traditional tea can be performed smoothly, which has the effect of reducing the shape of the blockage.

Hereinafter, a capsule (1) for extracting traditional tea containing red ginseng according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a capsule 1 for extracting traditional tea containing red ginseng according to the present invention, Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the capsule 1 for extracting traditional tea containing red ginseng, and Figure 3 shows the size of the filter hole 312. This is an explanatory diagram, and FIG. 4 is a layout diagram of the extraction filter 30.

A capsule 1 for extracting traditional tea containing red ginseng will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

The capsule (1) for extracting traditional tea containing red ginseng includes a capsule container (10), a lid portion (20), and an extraction filter (30).

The capsule container 10 has an internal accommodation space where traditional tea is accommodated and forms an external frame. The capsule container 10 has a container body 11, a hot water inlet 12, and an opening 13.

The container body 11 forms an external frame and accommodates traditional tea powder therein. The container body 11 may be an aluminum or plastic container. In an actual coffee extraction machine, the position in the container body 11 where the hole is made and hot water enters is indicated by A in FIG. 2.

The hot water inlet 12 is formed in the central area on the other side of the opening and is blocked until it is mounted on the coffee extraction machine, and is formed so that it can be opened by the coffee extraction machine.

The opening 13 is configured to be shielded and combined by a lid 20, which will be described later, while accommodating traditional tea powder including red ginseng. It is configured to allow entry and exit of traditional tea powder until the lid 20 is coupled.

The lid portion 20 is coupled to the edge of the opening 13 to shield the internal receiving space. The lid portion 20 seals the container body 11 and is mainly made of aluminum lid. The lid portion 20 may be made of aluminum lead paper with a thickness of 20 to 30 microns.

The extraction filter 30 may be composed of a plurality of filters, including a first extraction filter 31, a second extraction filter 32, and a third extraction filter 33. The first extraction filter 31, the second extraction filter 32, and the third extraction filter 33 may be provided with the same size and shape, or may have different sizes and shapes. The first extraction filter 31, the second extraction filter 32, and the third extraction filter 33 perform the same role of filtering the traditional tea powder and have the same configuration, so the first extraction filter 31 The configuration description replaces the configuration explanation of the second extraction filter 32 and the third extraction filter 33.

The first extraction filter 31 has a first filter body 311 and a first filter hole 312.

The first filter body 311 is watertightly coupled to the capsule container 10 and the lid portion 20 while being interposed between the capsule container 10 and the lid portion 20. The first filter body 311 may be made of aluminum-shaped lid similar to the disc-shaped lid 20. The first filter body 311 may be made of aluminum lead paper with a thickness of 20 to 30 microns.

The first filter hole 312 is formed in an area corresponding to the opening area of the first filter main body 311 so that traditional tea powder containing red ginseng is caught and hot water passes through. The first filter hole 312 may be formed in a circular or various shape. When the diameter of the first filter body 311 is 37 mm, 150 to 200 first filter holes 312 with a diameter of 0.3 to 0.6 mm are uniformly drilled into the aluminum lead paper. When the diameter of the first filter body 311 is increased, it is formed by increasing it to correspond to the gap between filter holes when the diameter is 37 mm. Alternatively, the first filter holes 312 are formed at uniform intervals by increasing the area as the diameter of the first filter body 311 increases.

The area of the filter hole of the extraction filter 30 can be formed to gradually become smaller along the direction of the flow of hot water. Accordingly, extraction can be carried out by filtering out the largest traditional tea powders, and sufficient extraction can be achieved.

Here, tea raw materials such as roasted red ginseng are pulverized and used so that the diameter is 0.5 to 1.5 mm.

Additionally, to prevent traditional tea powder containing red ginseng from going rancid, it is filled with nitrogen gas and sealed with a lid.

Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the size of the first filter hole 312.

The first filter hole 312 has a diameter of 0.3 to 0.6 mm and is formed on the first filter body 311.

Figure 4 is a layout view of the extraction filters 31 and 32.

Two extraction filters (31, 32) are arranged at intervals above and below. The upper second extraction filter 32 may have a diameter of 0.6 to 0.8 mm, and the lower first extraction filter 31 may have a diameter of 0.3 to 0.6 mm. Accordingly, according to the direction of the flow of hot water, the traditional tea powder is filtered from the largest in size, so the traditional tea components, including red ginseng, can be sufficiently extracted sequentially. Here, the shape of the container body 11 may have a round shape or an angular shape. The shape of the container body 11 is not limited to any one shape.

(Manufacturing method of traditional tea extract capsules containing red ginseng)

1. Preparation of materials

Traditional tea ingredients, including red ginseng, are roasted at a temperature of 150 to 200 degrees Celsius to improve the taste, increase the effectiveness of the tea, and remove viruses or bacteria contained in the raw materials.

2. Crushing

Grind it using a grinder until the particle size is 0.5~1.5mm.

3. Input of construction fee

Inject approximately 2 to 3.5 grams of crushed raw materials into the Nespresso capsule.

4. Nitrogen gas charging

Fill with nitrogen gas to prevent raw materials from going rancid.

5. Attach filter

Attach the prepared filter to the capsule container at high temperature.

6. Final sealing

Finally, a lid is attached and sealed at high temperature to complete the process.

7. Product completion

(test results)

When we finally extracted the completed capsule, it was very successful.

First, no clogging of the outlet occurred at all. Therefore, no matter what coffee extraction machine you use, the risk of the machine breaking down has disappeared.

Second, in the case of traditional herbal teas, they must be soaked in hot water for a certain period of time and then extracted for the tea to brew well, but this capsule produces rich red ginseng tea by pressing the button without this process.

Third, as a result of repeated extraction in the first, second, and third rounds, most of the red ginseng components were extracted in the first round, resulting in the extraction of red ginseng at once.

Modifiable embodiments other than the above embodiments will be described.

The first filter hole 312 is formed in a circular shape, but may have an oval shape or a plurality of slots with intervals of 0.3 to 0.6 mm. However, when the first filter hole 312 is formed in a slot shape, it is preferable that the width of the first filter hole 312 does not exceed 0.3 mm and the length of the first filter hole 312 does not exceed 0.6 mm. .

The shape of the first filter hole 312 may have various shapes, but it is preferable that the longest part of the various shapes does not exceed 0.6 mm.

It is supported on the capsule container 10 and disposed at the rear end of the hot water inlet 12, and may further include a dispersion portion that allows hot water flowing in through the hot water inlet 12 to be dispersed throughout the entire area of the traditional tea powder. The dispersion part has the shape of an umbrella with holes and sprays hot water through the holes and edges so that it can be evenly distributed to the traditional tea powder.

Due to the capsule (1) for extracting traditional tea containing red ginseng, traditional tea components including red ginseng are extracted by the hot water flowing into the hot water inlet (12), and the traditional tea liquid containing red ginseng, which sufficiently contains traditional tea components including red ginseng, is filtered. The clogging of the extraction filter 30 is reduced so that it can be discharged smoothly through the hole 312, and the extractability of traditional tea components can be improved.

In addition, the section and time in which hot water comes into contact with traditional tea including red ginseng may increase, so the extractability of traditional tea components including red ginseng may increase, and the extraction filter 30 in which traditional tea powder including red ginseng is placed in a plurality of areas. Since it is filtered, the load that clogs the extraction filter 30 at the end area can be reduced. In addition, traditional tea powder including red ginseng can be filtered out sequentially, and extraction of traditional tea including red ginseng can be performed smoothly, thereby reducing clogging.
