Description

The utility model relates to elements of devices for preparing three-component drinks, such as, for example, a latte or cappuccino with sugar, by passing hot water through three capsules without an internal piercer, containing the substance for preparing the drink. The utility model can be used in a system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks, consisting of a car coffee machine without an internal capsule holder, equipped with a scanner, a labeled external holder of three capsules, a glass and three capsules, which is used in vehicles, for example, in 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 is a blade 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 increase the safety of the system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks from three capsules without an internal piercer.

To achieve a technical result, a marked annular part of a nest of three capsules with a retainer and a connected triple piercer is claimed, containing a marking capable of being read by a scanner of a car coffee machine, a mount capable of being connected to a glass, a holder configured to be connected to a nest of three capsules, at least one retainer configured to be fixed on the glass, at least one bracket configured to connect with a triple piercer, a triple piercer configured to pierce three capsules, characterized in that the triple piercer is designed to be mechanically connected.

The claimed device, a marked ring part of a nest of three capsules with a retainer and a connected triple piercer 1, is an element of a marked external holder of three capsules used in a system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks.

The system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks is a system of elements connected to each other. The elements of the system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks are a car coffee machine not equipped with an internal capsule holder, a glass 4, three capsules 3 and a marked external holder for three capsules.

The marked external holder of three capsules consists of a nest of three capsules 2, a marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a lock and connected by a triple piercer 1 and a triple piercer 8, and these elements are made with the possibility of mechanical connection with each other. The labeled outer three capsule holder in its assembled position is shown in FIG. 2.4V.

Increasing the safety of the system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks is ensured by reducing the likelihood of using defective declared devices, since a defective claimed device may create a danger, for example, of accidental removal of the claimed device from the glass and/or loss of the capsule and/or breakdown of the claimed device in while drinking a drink, which may result in a hot drink pouring from a glass onto a passenger and/or elements of the car interior.

The marked outer holder of the three capsules is produced by injection molding, for example using an injection molding machine. To produce a labeled outer holder for three capsules, you will need to make a mold into which molten plastic material is poured under pressure. The marked outer holder of the three capsules is a complex figure having a combination of undercuts. The production of a marked external holder of three capsules in a monolithic design will require the manufacture of a complex mold, which may include special forming elements such as folding punches, composite and sliding dies and special release plates. Obviously, the more complex the mold, the higher the defect rate. In the “Great Encyclopedia of Oil and Gas” with reference to the book by Samokhvalov Y.A. “Handbook of Design Technicians”, in Chapter 8 “Parts made of plastics” it is written: “Undercuts impair the manufacturability of parts, reduce their accuracy and surface quality, complicate the design of the mold and limit the productivity during pressing. By changing the design of products, undercuts can be avoided. If it is impossible to avoid undercuts, then in some cases it is advisable to split such a part into two (or more) simple parts...” page 330, paragraph 5. https://www.ngpedia.ru/pg1677673pmQmENz0001274576/. That is, it is possible to reduce the amount of defects if you make one mold for the production of a nest of three capsules 2, a second mold for the production of a marked ring part of a nest of three capsules with a retainer and a connected triple piercer 1, and a third mold for the production of a triple piercer 8. Thus, obtain three simplified products and insert the nest of three capsules 2 into the marked ring part of the nest of three capsules with a lock and connected by a triple piercer 1, onto which the triple piercer 8 is attached before use. This method will ensure a lower amount of defects in the production of a marked external holder of three capsules in comparison with the option of using a mold for a nest of three capsules 2, made inseparably from the marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a latch and connected by a triple piercer 1, made inseparably from a triple piercer 8 .

Increasing the safety of the system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks is ensured by eliminating the possibility of using the claimed device with a car coffee machine that does not correspond to the claimed device, for example, with a car coffee machine designed to prepare one-component drinks, in which the upper capsule piercer is configured to pierce a capsule, the location of which is different on the location of the capsules in the claimed device. Supplying water to the upper capsule piercer of a car coffee machine designed to prepare single-ingredient drinks will cause hot water to splash past the capsules and create a risk of hot water splashing onto the user and the vehicle interior.

To eliminate such a danger, the claimed device contains a marking 12, which can be a bar code or a QR code, which is applied to the claimed device, for example, by painting and/or gluing and/or burning and/or casting and/or stamping or using any other method of application. Marking 12 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 12 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 claimed device, which may be contained in the marking 12. To read the marking 12, the automobile coffee machine 10 contains a scanner 11. The automobile coffee machine 10 is configured to receive and analyze information obtained from the marking 12 and making a decision about the possibility or impossibility of operating the automobile coffee machine 10 together with the proposed claimed device. The analysis of the marking 12 occurs, for example, using the electronic control unit of a car coffee machine, which is designed to analyze the information received from the marking 12 and send a command to the elements of the car coffee machine 10 to prepare a drink or block the process of preparing a drink. Marking 12 can be applied to any place of the claimed device with the ability to read marking 12 by scanner 11.

Increasing the safety of the system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks is ensured by reducing the likelihood of accidental removal of the claimed device from a glass while drinking a drink, since removing the claimed device from a glass while drinking a drink can lead to spilling of the drink on the user and the vehicle interior in shaking conditions while driving car.

To reduce the likelihood of accidental removal of the claimed device from a glass during the preparation and consumption of a three-component drink, the claimed device contains one or more latches 13, which are made inseparably from the claimed device using stamping or casting, or gluing or another method of connection, and can also be made of plastic. The latches 13 have a shape designed to bend around the flange 9 during the installation of the claimed device on the glass 4 and with the possibility of fixing on the flange 9 during the final installation of the claimed device on the glass 4 in such a way that further removal of the claimed device from the glass 4 becomes impossible. This shape can be, for example, a wedge shape or any other form of shape with an inclined plane, made with the ability to move the latch 13 against the flange 9 and press the latch 13 to the flange 9, grasping the flange 9 when installing the claimed device on the glass 4, thus making it difficult to remove the claimed device device from glass 4. The presence of latches 13 reduces the likelihood of removing the claimed device from glass 4, thus increasing the safety of the system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks.

The marked ring part of the nest of three capsules with a lock and a connected triple piercer 1 is designed for use in automobile coffee machines that are not equipped with an internal capsule holder, with three capsules without an internal piercer, for example, the Nespresso standard, can be made, for example, of plastic, contains a fastener 5 , monolithically connected to the holder 6. The claimed device is made with the possibility of mechanical connection with the triple piercer 8 using, for example, hook-shaped clamps or elastic clamps, or clamps with ring or spherical snap elements, or using another mechanical connection option.

The marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a retainer and a connected triple piercer 1 contains at least one hole made with the possibility of drinking a drink from a glass 4.

The marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a latch and a connected triple piercer 1 is designed to be connected to the nest of three capsules 2 using fastening 5, which can be an annular groove, or a thread or another type of fastening that prevents spilling and/or splashing of liquid from the glass 4, through the connection “the marked ring part of the nest of three capsules with a retainer and a connected triple piercer 1 – the nest of three capsules 2.” The marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a latch and a connected triple piercer 1 is designed to be connected to the glass 4 using a holder 6, which can be an annular groove, or a thread or another type of connection that prevents spilling and/or splashing of liquid from the glass 4, through the connection “the marked ring part of the nest of three capsules with a retainer and a connected triple piercer 1 - glass 4”. The marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a latch and a connected triple piercer 1 is made with the ability to access and tightly press the upper piercer of three capsules, which is an element of a car coffee machine, to the three capsules 3 installed in the nest of three capsules 2. The marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a latch and connected by a triple piercer 1 is designed to be removably connected to a nest of three capsules 2 in such a way that a three-component drink flowing from three capsules 3 installed in a nest of three capsules 2 falls into a glass 4.

To use three capsules without an internal piercer, the claimed device contains a triple piercer 8, including three piercing parts, for example, needles. The triple piercing device 8 can be secured to the inventive device by means of a mechanical connection such as, for example, hook-shaped fasteners or elastic fasteners, or fasteners with annular or spherical snap elements, or by means of another type of mechanical connection, with sharp, piercing parts triple piercer 8 is designed to pierce three capsules 3 when placing three capsules 3 in the nest of three capsules 2.

For mechanical connection with the triple piercer 8, the claimed device contains at least one bracket 7, configured to mechanically fix the triple piercer. The bracket 7 may be, for example, a hook-shaped fastener or an elastic fastener, or a fastener with ring or spherical snap elements, or another type of mechanical connection. The bracket 7 is made inseparably from the claimed device, for example, by soldering or gluing, or casting, or by another method of inseparable connection.

The utility model works as follows:

The user manually inserts a nest of three capsules 2 and a triple piercer 8 into the claimed device, places the claimed device on the glass 4, while the holder 6 clasps the flange 9, and the latch 13 is fixed on the flange 9, thus reducing the likelihood of removing the claimed device from the glass 4. Next, the user installs three capsules 3, one of which may contain coffee extract, the other milk powder, and the third sugar, into the nest of three capsules 2 as shown in Fig. 3, while the three capsules 3 are pierced with their lower parts by a triple piercer 8 , after this, the user places a glass 4 with installed three capsules 3, with a nest of three capsules 2 and the claimed device in a car coffee machine and presses the upper piercer of three capsules, which is an element of the car coffee machine, to the capsules 3 using a pressing device, for example, a linear motion actuator . The user turns on the water supply. Car coffee machine 10, using scanner 11, reads marking 12, analyzes the information received and sends a command to the elements of car coffee machine 10 to prepare a drink or blocks the process of preparing a drink. Using a water pump, water is supplied to the upper piercer of three capsules, which is configured to drain water passing through the upper piercer of three capsules into capsules 3 through the punctures. Water passes through three capsules 3 into the glass 4. After the glass 4 is filled, the user removes the upper piercer of the three capsules from the capsules 3, lifting the linear movement actuator and removes the glass 4 with the installed capsules 3, with the nest of the three capsules 2 and the claimed device . The drink is ready to drink through the hole. After consuming the drink, the user disposes of the claimed device with a glass, capsules and a nest of three capsules.

Thus, the claimed utility model makes it possible to increase the safety of the system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks from three capsules without an internal piercer.
