Description

The utility model relates to elements of devices for preparing single-ingredient drinks, such as, for example, espresso or Americano, by passing hot water through one capsule containing the substance for preparing the drink. The utility model can be used in a system for the safe preparation of one-component drinks, consisting of a car coffee machine without an internal holder for one capsule, and an external holder for one capsule, a glass and one capsule, which is used in vehicles, for example, a taxi.

A stationary automobile coffee maker is known, in which a coffee mug can be removably placed in the brewing station, which is closed with a removable lid, and the lid for the drink includes a chamber for capsules formed in it, including at least one hole for draining the finished drink into a coffee mug, as well as a capsule holder that includes a hole for passing water (patent US7487712, published 02/10/2009). This solution provides protection against splashing in shaking conditions, but is only applicable for individual use and requires systematic cleaning of the lid and capsule retainer, which is not suitable for use in public transport.

It is known to use in a device for preparing beverages a part for connecting to a vessel for removable connection with the rim of the connected vessel; an annular portion in the form of a lid panel extending radially inward relative to said portion for connection to a container having an opening of considerable size for the passage of a large amount of liquid; part in the form of a chamber for receiving into it a portion of flavoring material formed by walls extending downward relative to the mentioned part in the form of a lid panel and to a position significantly below the mentioned part for connection to the vessel (RF Application for an invention No. 99115457, publ. 06/10/2001 ). The described solution includes a chamber for receiving a portion of flavoring material, which does not ensure the tightness of the flavoring material, which negatively affects the taste of the resulting drink, especially coffee. In addition, the known solution, when used in conditions of shaking and vibration, does not ensure safety for the user, since this design of the device assumes the presence of an open stream of hot water used for brewing.

A device is known in which a capsule with coffee extract is inserted into a holder and placed in a container into which the drink that has leaked through the capsule flows, which, in turn, flows through a flexible hose into a paper or plastic cup and is transferred to the consumer (US patent US 5150645, published 05/29/1991). Above the capsule there are blades for piercing the capsule. The disadvantage of the device is the need to make a hole in the receiving glass for a hose through which the drink enters the glass and fixing the glass, for example, in vehicles.

The technical result achieved by the claimed utility model is to reduce the amount of defects in the production of a marked socket with a piercer for one capsule of a system for the safe preparation of a one-component drink.

To achieve a technical result, a marked socket with a piercer for one capsule of a system for the safe preparation of a one-component drink is claimed, containing a marking capable of being read by a scanner of a car coffee machine, a holder configured for connection with one capsule, a mount configured for connection with the ring part, a piercer , including one piercing element, characterized in that it is designed to be mechanically connected to the piercing element.

The essence of the claimed utility model is illustrated.

The claimed device is an element of a labeled external holder of one capsule used in a system for the safe preparation of a single-component drink.

The system for the safe preparation of a one-component drink is a system of elements connected to each other. The elements of the system for the safe preparation of a single-component drink are a car coffee machine 10 equipped with a scanner, a glass 4, one capsule 3 and a marked external holder of one capsule, consisting of a marked socket of one capsule 2, a piercer 8 and a ring part 1, while the elements of the marked external holder of one capsule are made with the ability to connect with each other.

Ensuring safety in the system for the safe preparation of single-component drinks is ensured by excluding the possibility of using elements that do not correspond to each other or elements on which there is no marking 9, and, therefore, there is no guarantee that they were produced legally and/or in compliance with production standards and rules, and therefore their use may be dangerous. The elimination of such a danger is achieved by monitoring the compliance of the elements of the system for the safe preparation of single-component drinks with each other using the marking 9 on the claimed device and the scanner 11 included in the automobile coffee machine 10, made with the ability to read the marking 9 and transmit the received information to the electronic control unit 12 , which is configured to identify the claimed device as technically corresponding to the automobile coffee machine 10, and to start the process of preparing a one-component drink or blocking the process of preparing a single-component drink, in case the declared device is identified as technically non-compliant to the automobile coffee machine 10.

In addition, ensuring safety in the system for the safe preparation of single-ingredient drinks is achieved by eliminating the open stream of a hot single-ingredient drink, which is achieved by pouring the single-ingredient drink directly into a closed glass.

A marked socket with a piercer for one capsule of a system for the safe preparation of a single-component drink includes a marked socket for one capsule 2 and a piercer 8, which are designed to be connected to each other using a mechanical connection, such as, for example, hook-shaped fasteners or elastic fasteners, or ring fasteners or spherical snap elements.

A marked socket with a piercer for one capsule of a system for the safe preparation of a single-component drink is manufactured using injection molding, for example, using an injection molding machine. To produce a marked socket with a piercer for one capsule of a system for the safe preparation of a one-component drink, a mold is made into which molten plastic material is poured under pressure. The execution of the elements of the marked socket with a piercer for one capsule of the system for the safe preparation of a one-component drink, namely, the marked socket of one capsule 2 and the piercer 8, made inseparably from each other, requires the manufacture of a complex mold, the use of which can lead to a large number of defects in the production of the declared devices. It is possible to reduce the number of defects if you make one mold for the production of the piercer 8 and a second mold for the production of the marked nest of one capsule 2. Thus, obtain two products and insert the piercer 8 into the marked nest of one capsule 2 either on the production line or before use . This method will ensure less waste in the production of a marked socket with a piercer for one capsule of a system for the safe preparation of a one-component drink in comparison with the option of using a mold for a marked socket for one capsule 2 made inseparably from the piercer 8.

Example:

A marked socket with a piercer for one capsule of a system for the safe preparation of a single-component drink is used in automobile coffee machines 10 made without an internal capsule holder and equipped with a scanner 11, with one capsule 3 made without an internal piercer, for example, the Nespresso standard, made, for example, of plastic, contains a mount 5 , made with the possibility of connection with the ring part 1, monolithically connected to the holder 6 and made with the possibility of connection with the piercer 8. Fig.2. The annular part 1 contains at least one hole 7 made with the possibility of drinking a drink from a glass 4. The marked socket of one capsule 2 is made with the possibility of connection with the annular part 1 using a fastening 5, which can be an annular groove, or a thread or other type of fastening, which eliminates spilling and/or splashing of liquid from the glass 4, through the connection “ring part 1 - marked socket of one capsule 2”. The annular part 1 is designed to be connected to the glass 4. The marked socket with a piercer for one capsule of the system for the safe preparation of a one-component drink is made with the possibility of access and tight pressing of the upper capsule piercer, which is an element of the automobile coffee machine 10, to the capsule 3 installed in the claimed device. The claimed device contains holder 6, configured to be connected to one capsule 3. The holder 6 can be an annular groove, or a thread or another type of fastening that prevents one capsule 3 from falling out of the holder 6 and liquid spilling from the body of the glass 4 through the connection “holder 6 - capsule 3” . The holder 6 is designed to be connected to one capsule 3 in such a way that the drink flowing from one capsule 3 enters the glass 4.

To use a capsule without an internal piercer, the claimed device contains a piercer 8, including one piercing element. The piercer 8 is made with the possibility of installation on the marked socket of one capsule 2 using a mechanical connection, such as, for example, hook-shaped clamps or elastic clamps, or clamps with ring or spherical snap elements, while the sharp, piercing part of the piercer 8 is made with the possibility of puncturing one capsule 3 when placing one capsule 3 in the marked slot of one capsule 2.

The claimed device contains a marking 9, which can be a bar code or a QR code, which is applied to the marked socket of one capsule 2, for example, by painting and/or gluing and/or burning and/or casting and/or stamping or by any other method of application. Marking 9 contains encoded information, for example, about the type of the declared device and/or any other information that allows the automobile coffee machine 10 to identify the declared device as an element that, based on the type and legitimacy of production, can be used with the automobile coffee machine 10. The presence of marking 9 allows you to control the compatibility of the declared device and automobile coffee machine 10, and also allows you to obtain any other information about the declared device, which may be contained in the marking 9. To read the marking 9, the automobile coffee machine 10 contains a scanner 11. The automobile coffee machine 10 is designed to receive and analyze information obtained from the marking 9 and making a decision about the possibility or impossibility of operating the automobile coffee machine 10 together with the proposed claimed device. Analysis of the marking 9 occurs, for example, using the electronic control unit of the automobile coffee machine 12, which is designed to analyze the information received from the marking 9 and send a command to the elements of the automobile coffee machine 10 to prepare a drink or block the process of preparing the drink. Marking 9 can be applied to any place of the claimed device with the ability to read marking 9 by scanner 11 of Fig.4.

The utility model works as follows:

The user manually places the ring part 1 on the glass 4, inserts the piercer 8 into the marked socket of one capsule 2, inserts the claimed device into the ring part 1, inserts one capsule 3 into the holder 6 of the claimed device as shown in Fig. 3, while the capsule 3 is pierced with its lower part by the piercer 8, after which the user places the glass 4 with the installed capsule 3, the ring part 1 and the claimed device into the automobile coffee machine 10 and presses the upper capsule piercer, which is an element of the automobile coffee machine, to the capsule 3 using a pressing device, for example, a linear motion actuator. The user turns on the water supply. The automobile coffee machine 10, using the scanner 11, reads the marking 9, analyzes the information received and sends a command to the elements of the automobile coffee machine 10 to prepare a drink or blocks the process of preparing the drink. Using a water pump, water is supplied to the upper capsule piercer, which is configured to allow water passing through the upper capsule piercer to flow into capsule 3 through the puncture. Water passes through the capsule 3 into the glass 4. After the glass 4 is filled, the user removes the upper capsule piercer from the capsule 3 using, for example, a linear movement actuator and removes the glass 4 with the installed capsule 3, the ring part 1 and the claimed device. The drink is ready for consumption through hole 7. After consuming the drink, the user disposes of the claimed device with a glass, capsule and ring part.

Thus, the claimed utility model makes it possible to reduce the amount of defects in the production of a marked socket with a piercer for one capsule of a system for the safe preparation of a one-component drink.
