Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for flexible food or beverage packs, in particular to a system encoding information related to the products and to the recipe parameters to be applied by a beverage preparation machine in order to prepare a certain beverage.
  • Preparing beverages by introducing a capsule containing a food or beverage ingredient, such as ground coffee or instant coffee, in a beverage dispensing machine and injecting water into the capsule is known in the state of the art: the beverage or food ingredient is typically extracted or dissolved into water to form the beverage or the desired final product, which flows out of the capsule through a suitable outlet.
  • capsules have been developed in the past, these capsules being at least differentiated by the nature of the capsule body used for storing the food or the beverage ingredient. While most of the capsules are made of a rigid body or semi-rigid body, typically made though injection moulding or thermoforming, flexible types of packs can be made out of foil materials. Flexible packs have generally the advantage to semi-rigid and rigid capsules that less amount of material is used to pack the product which leads to overall less production cost, to lower life cycle impact shown in several life-cycle assessments and to advantages on the part of the user, who will need less available space for storing these packs, as they are more compact.
  • a flexible beverage-producing sachet comprising a beverage ingredient in a volume formed by bonding two laminates at their edges, having a base seam into which a conduit of rigid plastics is bonded.
  • An inlet nozzle is provided at the top of the resulting sachet for introducing water that is mixed with the beverage or food ingredient inside the inner volume of the sachet, the beverage produced being then evacuated through a beverage outlet arranged at the bottom of the pack, where closing means are provided, such that the closing means are adapted to open under pressure when pressurized water is introduced into the sachet, allowing the beverage to evacuate through the beverage outlet.
  • sachets are known in the art having a container where a fitment assembly or spout is arranged on one of its edges, typically on the lower edge. Moreover, this spout is overwrapped by the flexible film configuring the container, for hygiene reasons and to ensure a proper barrier, in particular to light and moisture.
  • a pack comprising such a spout is for example described in European Patent Application EP 16184302.4 belonging to the same applicant, where the spout comprises two parts relatively moveable with respect to each other for adopting different positioning.
  • the spout is initially provided overwrapped by the flexible film configuring the container and, when it is arranged in a beverage preparation device, it is first pierced to be engaged with a corresponding device part and to inject a fluid, typically water, inside the container, in order to prepare the beverage; then, the two parts of the spout are moved relatively to each other in order to allow the dispensing of the beverage and then closing it back to avoid dripping.
  • a fluid typically water
  • the present invention comes to provide a solution to these needs, as it will be further explained.
  • the invention also aims at other objects and particularly at the solution of other problems as will appear in the rest of the present description.
  • the invention relates to a spout comprising at least two parts relatively moveable with respect to each other such that at least one of the two parts of the spout comprise means presenting a measurable resistance to being connected to an engaging part of a beverage preparation device and/or to the relative movement of the two parts of the spout, these means further comprising one or a plurality of indents or bumps.
  • the presence or not of an indent or a bump is translated into binary format for configuring a code.
  • the profile of the indents or bumps define a digital value for configuring a code.
  • the invention relates to a pack for preparing a food or beverage product comprising a spout as the one described and a container configured to comprise a product to prepare the said food or beverage product, wherein the one or plurality of indents or bumps configure a code comprising the information on the product inside the container and/or on the processing of the said product.
  • the container is configured by at least one flexible film folded in order to shape an enclosed space where the food or beverage product is arranged.
  • the flexible film is configured overwrapping the spout in its entirety except for the part of the spout which is in direct communication with the inner volume of the container.
  • the pack of the present invention is configured for allowing the injection of a fluid through the spout and to create a jet inside the volume of the container to prepare the food or beverage product.
  • the invention relates to a system for preparing a food or beverage product comprising a pack as the one described comprising a product and a beverage preparation device that will introduce a fluid in the form of a jet inside the volume of the pack.
  • the beverage preparation device comprises a control unit configured for measuring along time the resistance of the connection of the beverage preparation device to the spout and the resistance of the relative movement of the two parts of the spout, determining a code, as a function of the bumps or indents, this code providing information on the type of food or beverage product in the pack and on the parameters to process the product in the said pack.
  • the beverage preparation device comprises a control unit configured for measuring along time, during the food or beverage preparation, the current provided by a driving motor driving the connection of the device to the spout of the pack and also driving the movement of the two parts of the spout relative to each other, in order to determine the profile of the bumps or indents.
  • control unit is configured to transform the current value of the driving motor into a motor torque or a resistance force value along time, during the food or beverage preparation, in order to determine the profile of the bumps or indents.
  • the code in the system according to the invention can be an analog format or a digital format.
  • the invention further refers to a method for preparing a food or beverage product from a pack in a system as the one described previously, the method comprising the steps of:
  • the information from the code corresponding to the type of product and to the process parameters to apply for its preparation in a corresponding food or beverage device can be comprised in the device itself (internal memory of it, for example) or in an external device to which the control unit will connect to retrieve the same, or for example in an external database or cloud.
  • the resistance of the connection of the device to the spout of the pack and also the resistance of the relative movement of the two parts of the spout is typically measured by monitoring the current from the driving motor driving the connection to the spout and the relative movement of the two parts of the spout.
  • the process parameters comprise one or a combination of: flow of fluid introduced in the spout, total volume of fluid introduced, temperature of the fluid, processing time, delivery time.
  • FIGS. 1 a - c show different views of a system for flexible food or beverage packs according to the present invention, showing the way the beverage preparation machine pierces the pack and moves the spout linearly downwards to allow dispensing.
  • FIGS. 2 a - c show a system for flexible food or beverage packs according to the present invention, showing the way the beverage preparation machine pierces the pack ( FIGS. 2 a - b ) and a graph showing the variation of the driving motor torque when the pack is pierced ( FIG. 2 c ).
  • FIGS. 3 a - c show a system for flexible food or beverage packs according to the present invention, showing the way the beverage preparation machine moves the spout linearly downwards to allow dispensing ( FIGS. 3 a - b ) and a graph showing the variation of the driving motor torque when the spout moves downwards ( FIG. 3 c ).

  • FIGS. 9 a - b show a possible configuration of the information encoded in a system according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 7 a - c , providing information on the type of food or beverage product and/or on the processing parameters to be applied by a beverage dispensing device.
  • the invention relates to a system for flexible food or beverage packs 100 : the system of the invention comprises a flexible food or beverage pack 100 and a beverage preparation machine, where the pack will be inserted and a food or beverage product will be prepared and delivered.
  • a representative pack 100 according to the invention is shown in FIG. 8 , the pack comprising a container 30 and a fitment assembly or spout 10 .
  • the container 30 is configured by one or more flexible sheets overwrapping the spout 10 , such that only the part of the spout in communication with the inner volume of the container 30 is not covered by a film or sheet.
  • the pack 100 used in the system of the invention is known as a flexible sachet or pouch.
  • the spout 10 in the pack of the invention is as the one described in document EP 16184302.4 belonging to the same applicant, and herewith incorporated by reference, in its entirety.
  • the spout comprises two parts, 11 and 12 , moveable with respect to each other, being typically injected elements in plastic.
  • a primary part 11 is fixed to the beverage preparation device and a secondary part 12 moves linearly with respect to the said fixed part 11 .
  • the spout 10 is overwrapped and the communication to the outside of the pack is closed, for hygienic reasons.
  • the pack shown in FIG. 8 represents such an initial position. Once the secondary part 12 moves with respect to the primary part 11 , the communication to the outside of the pack 100 is opened and so the beverage or food product can be delivered.
  • the content of the container 30 is typically a powder product that will be dissolved by the addition of water, in order to produce a food or beverage product.
  • a piercing element in the beverage dispensing device, typically configured as a needle, comes to pierce the flexible sheet overwrapping at least one of the piercing holes 13 , 14 : the piercing element in the device can also be configured as a double needle (two parallel needles) piercing at the same time both piercing holes 13 , 14 .
  • the piercing element comes to pierce the flexible sheet over the piercing hole or holes 13 , 14 and injects water at pressure that goes into the inner volume of the container 30 at high speed through the small injecting holes 17 , 18 : the configuration of the piercing holes leading internally to injecting holes of a very low diameter converts the high pressure water injected by the piercing element into one or two high velocity jets, which are driven into the container 30 : the high velocity jets allow a good dissolution of the product inside the pouch, typically a powder.
  • the beverage preparation device preferably fixes the spout 10 (in particular the primary part of it 11 ) by means of attaching holes 15 , 16 as represented in FIG. 1 a .
  • a connecting element 200 from the beverage preparation device is arranged to pierce the film or sheet overwrapping two displacing holes 21 , 22 : also, this connecting element 200 is configured to displace linearly downwards the secondary part 12 of the spout with respect to the primary part 11 that is typically fixed.
  • FIG. 1 b shows the moment when the connecting element 200 in the preparation device pierces the displacing holes 21 , 22 in the secondary part 12 of the spout.
  • FIG. 1 c represents the position in which the secondary part 12 has been moved linearly downwards to its full travel with respect to the primary part 11 (in this position shown in FIG. 1 c , as it will be further described, the product can be delivered to the outside of the pack).
  • FIG. 2 a shows a further view of the connecting element 200 in the device in the moment when it is going to pierce the displacing holes 21 , 22 in the secondary part 12 of the spout.
  • FIG. 2 b shows in detail the two piercing elements 201 , 202 in the connecting element 200 of the device configured, as previously described, to first pierce the film overwrapping the outside of the displacing holes 21 , 22 and then arranged to move downwards the secondary part 12 of the spout with respect to the primary part 11 (typically fixed to the beverage preparation device).
  • the spout itself is composed of two injected plastic parts 11 and 12 , which can be moved (typically translated) with respect to each other.
  • the movement in horizontal (piercing function 1 ) described above) and in vertical (preparation process function 2 ) described above) of the connecting element 200 is carried out by a driving motor (not shown) in the beverage preparation device.
  • the torque of the driving motor is proportional to the product of the force by the distance, and the motor current thus varies according to the load torque applied.
  • the driving motor torque presents a peak when the connecting element 200 has to pierce the flexible film or sheet overwrapping the front part of the displacing holes 21 , 22 (i. e. when a certain resistance presented by this film needs to be overcome): this is represented in FIG. 2 c , by the position P 1 (when this piercing takes place) when the driving motor needs a higher torque T 1 .
  • Measuring the motor current of the motor provides an image of the motor torque.
  • the spout 10 object of the invention is represented in detail in FIGS. 4 a - d and FIGS. 5 a - c , where the secondary part 12 of this spout comprises one or a plurality of transversal bumps 40 which are arranged in the horizontal path of the connecting element 200 when it displaces horizontally into the spout 10 .
  • the spout of the invention will further be provided with one or a plurality of vertical bumps 50 which are arranged on the primary part 11 of the spout 10 and are in the path of the vertical movement of the secondary part 12 with respect to the primary part 11 . Further explanation of this will follow.
  • FIG. 4 d represents in detail a plurality of transversal bumps 40 arranged on the secondary part 12 of the spout 10 , precisely located transversally through and into the displacing holes 21 , 22 , either in one of the displacing holes or in both of them.
  • These transversal bumps 40 are located in the path followed by the connecting element 200 (particularly by its piercing elements 201 , 202 ) when it comes to pierce the outer film covering frontally the spout 10 and advances transversally into the spout so that the piercing elements 201 , 202 engage with the displacing holes 21 , 22 .
  • the piercing elements 201 , 202 When the transversal or horizontal movement of the connecting element 200 comes to an end, the piercing elements 201 , 202 have correctly engaged with the displacing holes 21 , 22 and the vertical movement downwards of the secondary part 12 of the spout with respect to the first part 11 (that remains fixed in the device) can take place.
  • transversal bumps 40 represent obstacles placed at pre-defined locations along the travelling path of the connecting element 200 so it is possible to know the position of the said connecting element 200 of the device with respect to the spout 10 .
  • one or both of the displacing holes 21 , 22 can be provided with one or more transversal bumps 40 , arranged on the travelling path of the piercing elements 201 , 202 transversally into the spout 10 .
  • the shape of the piercing elements 201 , 202 and the configuration of the spout are made complementary so the bumps 40 configure obstacles to the transversal advance of the piercing elements 201 , 202 .
  • the graph torque and position obtained is similar as the one shown in FIG. 4 e : in the transversal movement (frontally piercing of the pack with the connecting element) there are several torque peaks represented by T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , T 4 , T 5 , . . . T n , n being the number of transversal bumps 40 , occurring at positions or moments P 1 , P 2 , P 3 , P 4 , P 5 , . . . P n , respectively.
  • one or a plurality of vertical bumps 50 can also be arranged on the primary part 11 of the spout, located in the vertical movement path that will be followed by the secondary part 12 of the spout with respect to the primary part 11 .
  • a detail is shown in FIG. 5 a where several bumps are arranged on the vertical path that will be followed by the secondary part 12 , in particular by the displacing hole 21 (these vertical bumps 50 can be arranged on one vertical side or on both vertical sides of the secondary part 12 of the spout, in the path that will be followed by the displacing holes 21 and/or 22 ).
  • the vertical bumps 50 also present obstacles in the movement of the secondary part 12 with respect to the primary part 11 .
  • a higher torque value from the driving motor is needed (that is, the current needed by the motor is higher).
  • each torque peak T 1′′ , T 2′′ , T 3′′ , . . . T n′′ , n being the number of bumps 50 corresponds to a bump 50 occurring at a position P 1′′ , P 2′′ , P 3′′ , P 4′′ , . . . P n′′ respectively.
  • FIG. 6 The complete transversal movement of the connecting element 200 for the engagement of the secondary part 12 of the spout and the movement for the vertical displacement of the secondary part of the spout with respect to the primary part while the preparation of the food or beverage product takes place is represented in FIG. 6 .
  • FIGS. 7 a , 7 b and 7 c represent exemplary design variations providing variations in the number, amplitude and period of the torque peaks with time.
  • the aim of the system of the invention is to encode information relating to the food or beverage product comprised in the pack 100 (precisely in the container 30 ) and information on the processing parameters (for example beverage volume, time, temperature, etc.) that need to be applied in a beverage preparation device for an optimal preparation of a food or beverage product from it.
  • the information can be encoded digitally by attributing for example a value “1” to a torque peak (when there is a presence of a torque peak) and a value “0” for an absence of the said torque peak, as for example shown in FIG. 9 a .
  • FIG. 9 a In the said FIG.
  • the device will comprise a control unit that will monitor the motor current with time, during the preparation of a food or beverage product: this will translate into monitoring the value of the motor torque with time, so a graph similar to FIG. 9 a or to FIG. 9 b will be obtained.
  • the control unit will therefore get a code or encoding that will provide the beverage preparation device the information on the type of product in the pack and the preparation parameters to be applied.
  • the beverage preparation device will comprise a control unit (not shown) that will receive the data of the torque applied by the driving motor with time (i.e. when a beverage or food product is prepared from a pack): in fact, the control unit will receive the value of the motor current along time, that will be translated into torque value with time.
  • the control unit will either attribute a value of “1” when a peak of torque takes place and a value of “0” when there is no torque peak, therefore receiving a digital code that will be associated to a type of product and/or processing parameters in the device, or the control unit will attribute a digital value to the height of a torque peak, the width of a torque peak and/or to the number of torque peaks detected, thus also obtaining a digital code that will be associated to a type of product and/or processing parameters in the device.
  • control unit of the beverage preparation device in the system of the invention is configured to carry out the following method steps:
