Description

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

To achieve a technical result, a marked annular part of a nest of two capsules is claimed with a piercer of two capsules, an internal protrusion and a retainer, 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 two capsules , a piercer of two capsules, configured to pierce two capsules, an annular internal protrusion, configured to be pressed against the inner part of the wall of the glass, characterized in that it contains at least one lock, configured to provide permanent fixation on the glass.

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

The system for the safe preparation of two-component drinks is a system of elements connected to each other. The elements of the system for the safe preparation of two component drinks are a car coffee machine 10, not equipped with an internal capsule holder and equipped with a scanner 12, a glass 4, two capsules 3 and a marked external holder for two capsules.

The marked outer holder of two capsules consists of a socket of two capsules 2 and a marked annular part of the socket of two capsules with a piercer of two capsules, an internal protrusion and a retainer 1, while the elements of the marked outer holder of two capsules are designed to be removably connected to each other.

Increasing the safety of the system for the safe preparation of two-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 a glass and/or capsule falling out and/or destruction of the claimed device during time of use and, as a result, pouring of a hot drink from a glass while drinking a drink onto a passenger and/or elements of the car interior.

The marked outer holder of the two capsules is produced by injection molding, for example using an injection molding machine. To produce a labeled outer holder for two capsules, you will need to make a mold into which molten plastic material is poured under pressure. The marked outer holder of the two capsules is a complex figure having a combination of undercuts. The production of a marked outer holder of two 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 two capsules 2 and a second mold for the production of a marked annular part of a nest of two capsules with a piercer of two capsules, an internal protrusion and a retainer 1. Thus, get two products and insert a nest of two capsules 2 into the marked ring portion of the two capsule nest with the two capsule piercer, the inner protrusion and the retainer 1 either on the production line or before use. This method will ensure less waste in the production of a marked external holder of two capsules in comparison with the option of using a mold for a nest of two capsules 2, made inseparably from the marked annular part of the nest of two capsules with a piercer of two capsules, an internal protrusion and a retainer 1.

The marked ring part of the nest of two capsules with a piercer of two capsules, an internal protrusion and a retainer 1 is used in automobile coffee machines equipped with a scanner and not equipped with an internal capsule holder, with capsules without an internal piercer, for example, the Nespresso standard, made, for example, of plastic, contains marking 13, mount 5, monolithically connected to the holder 6 and the piercer of two capsules 8, for example, by casting or gluing Fig. 2. The claimed device contains at least one hole made with the possibility of drinking a drink from a glass 4.

The claimed device is designed to be connected to the nest of two 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 “marked annular part of the nest of two capsules” with a piercer for two capsules, an internal protrusion and a retainer 1 – a nest for two capsules 2.” The marked annular part of the nest of two capsules with a piercer of two capsules, an internal protrusion and a retainer 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 annular part of the nest of two capsules with a piercer of two capsules, an internal protrusion and a retainer 1 - glass 4”. The marked annular part of the nest of two capsules with a piercer of two capsules, an internal protrusion and a retainer 1 is made with the ability to access and tightly press the upper piercer of two capsules, which is an element of an automobile coffee machine 10, to the two capsules 3 installed in the nest of two capsules 2. The marked annular part of the nest of two capsules with a piercer for two capsules, an internal protrusion and a retainer 1 is designed to be removably connected to the nest of two capsules 2 in such a way that a two-component drink flowing from two capsules 3 installed in the nest of two capsules 2 falls into a glass 4.

To use two capsules without an internal piercer, the claimed device contains a two-capsule piercer 8, including at least two piercing parts, for example, needles. The two-capsule piercer 8 can be attached to the claimed device, for example, by stamping, casting, gluing or soldering, while the sharp, piercing parts of the two-capsule piercer 8 are configured to pierce two capsules 3 when placing two capsules 3 in the nest of two capsules 2.

Increased safety of the system for the safe preparation of two-component drinks is ensured by reducing the likelihood of accidental removal of the claimed device from the glass during consumption of the drink, which can occur due to too much squeezing of the glass by the user. In this case, there may be a risk of hot drink splashing onto the user and/or the vehicle interior when the vehicle is driven in a shaking or vibrating environment.

The marked annular part of the nest of two capsules with a piercer of two capsules, an internal protrusion and a retainer 1 is equipped with an internal protrusion 9, designed to be pressed against the inner part of the wall of the glass 4 when installing the claimed device on the glass 4. The internal protrusion 9 has a ring shape and is pressed against the inner part the walls of the glass 4 around the entire circumference. In this case, the holder 6 clasps the flange 11 of the glass 4 and creates pressure on the wall of the glass 4, which transfers the created pressure to the internal protrusion 9. This creates additional rigidity of the glass 4, allowing an increase in the permissible squeezing force of the wall of the glass 4 created by the user’s fingers during use two-component drink, which increases the safety of drinking a two-component drink. The inner protrusion 9 can be made monolithically with the claimed device using stamping or casting, or gluing or another connection method. The inner protrusion 9 can be of any size within the internal volume of the glass 4.

Increasing the safety of the system for the safe preparation of two-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.

The claimed device contains one or more latches 7, 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 clamps 7 have a shape designed to bend around the flange 11 during the installation of the claimed device on the glass 4 and with the possibility of fixing on the flange 11 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, which increases safety of drinking and preparing the drink.

The latch 7 may have the shape of a wedge or any other shape with an inclined plane, made with the ability to move the latch 7 against the flange 11 and press the latch 7 to the flange 11, grasping the flange 11 when installing the claimed device on the glass 4 in such a way that further removal of the claimed device from 4 glasses becomes impossible. Fig. 6.

Increasing the safety of the system for the safe preparation of two-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 13, 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 13 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 13 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 13. To read the marking 13, the automobile coffee machine 10 contains a scanner 12. The automobile coffee machine 10 is configured to receive and analyze information obtained from the marking 13 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 13 occurs, for example, using the electronic control unit of a car coffee machine, which is designed to analyze the information obtained from the marking 13 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 13 can be applied to any place of the claimed device with the ability to read marking 13 by scanner 12.

The utility model works as follows.

The user manually places the claimed device on the glass 4, while the holder 6 clasps the flange 11, the internal protrusion 9 is pressed against the inside of the wall of the glass 4, thus increasing the permissible pressure on the wall of the glass 4, the clamps 7 are fixed on the flange 11 in such a way that further removal the declared device from glass 4 becomes impossible. Then the user inserts a nest of two capsules 2 into the claimed device, inserts two capsules 3 into a nest of two capsules 2 as shown in Fig. 3, while two capsules 3 are pierced with their lower parts by a piercer of two capsules 8, after which the user places a glass 4 with two capsules 3 installed, with a nest of two capsules 2 and the claimed device into the automobile coffee machine 10 and presses the upper piercer of the two capsules, which is an element of the automobile coffee machine 10, 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 12, reads marking 13, 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 two capsules, which is configured to drain water passing through the upper piercer of two capsules into capsules 3 through the punctures. Water passes through two capsules 3 into the glass 4. After the glass 4 is filled, the user removes the upper piercer of the two 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 two capsules 2 and the claimed device. The drink is ready to drink through the hole. After drinking the drink, the user disposes of the claimed device with a glass, capsules and a nest of two capsules.

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