Definitions
- the present invention is based on a cartridge system for producing a beverage, the cartridge system being usable in a beverage preparation machine, the cartridge system having a cartridge that includes a reservoir filled with a beverage substance and a cartridge receptacle, the cartridge receptacle having a receptacle with the reservoir has a mixing chamber which can be brought into fluid connection and a fluid supply which opens into the mixing chamber, the cartridge system comprising a sealing element.
- Such systems are known from the prior art, for example from the publications WO 2017/121 802 A1, WO 2017/121 801 A1, WO 2017/121 801 A1, WO 2017/121 799 A1, WO 2017/121 798 A1, WO 2017/ 121 797 A1, WO 2017/121 796 A1 and WO 2019/002 293 A1 and are used to produce beverages from pre-portioned cartridges.
- the production of beverages with such systems is extremely convenient for the user, since he only has to insert a cartridge and press a start button.
- the beverage preparation machine then produces the same in a fully automated manner, which means in particular that the beverage substance is mixed with a predetermined quantity of liquid, in particular cold and carbonated water, and is fed into a drinking vessel.
- mixed drinks in particular can be produced much more easily, quickly and with less effort for the user.
- the user can choose from a variety of different cartridges, so that he can produce different drinks as he likes. It is important to keep the beverage substance safe and stable in the cartridge, especially before using the cartridge system in the beverage preparation machine, so that the freshness and quality of the beverage substance is retained. Furthermore, a reliable and reproducible beverage production process should be made possible by the cartridge system. At the same time, it is desirable to keep the cost of materials as low as possible and to achieve a high level of flexibility for the use of such cartridge systems.
- a cartridge system according to claim 1 it is advantageously possible for the cartridge or the reservoir of the cartridge to be resealable with the aid of the sealing element, in particular after a drink has been made. It is thus advantageously possible to use the cartridge system to prepare more than one drink. As a result, the material consumption can be reduced overall, since a new cartridge and/or a new cartridge system does not have to be used for each individual drink. This reduces the consumption of cartridges and cartridge systems overall, which means that costs can be reduced.
- the cartridge system when a beverage is prepared using the cartridge system according to the invention, not all of the beverage substance present in the cartridge reservoir in the initial state of the cartridge system is consumed, so that after the beverage has been prepared there is still sufficient beverage substance in the cartridge to make one or more other beverages to prepare, particularly preferably without the cartridge having to be filled up with new beverage substance in between.
- the sealing element is preferably provided for sealing the reservoir or a main body of the cartridge in the initial state of the cartridge system.
- the sealing element preferably ensures that the beverage substance remains within the reservoir before the start of beverage preparation (in the initial state of the cartridge system) and is hermetically sealed there for a long shelf life and a constant aroma. Comparatively high internal pressures can preferably also be enclosed in the cartridge with the aid of the sealing element. The particular liquid beverage substance can thus be enclosed under increased pressure in the reservoir before the cartridge system is used.
- the reservoir is also advantageously possible for the reservoir to be able to be emptied at a comparatively high pressure during the beverage production process without unwanted leaks occurring, for example in the fastening area of the sealing element on the cartridge. This allows the reference time to be reduced without the risk of the taste of the beverage to be produced being impaired.
- the cartridge preferably comprises glass.
- the cartridge preferably has a flap body made of glass. It is preferably conceivable that the entire cartridge is made of glass and is particularly preferably designed as a glass cartridge and/or glass bottle.
- the cartridge completely or partially from plastic.
- the cartridge prefferably has a Flaupt body made of aluminum, which in its typical wall area preferably has a wall thickness of between 0.01 and 0.5 millimeters, preferably between 0.01 and 0.2 millimeters, particularly preferably between 0.03 and 0.1 millimeters and very particularly preferably essentially 0.05 millimeters, in particular with a maximum error tolerance of 15%.
- a flap body made of aluminum can be produced, for example, by deep drawing or extrusion.
- the cartridge is preferably designed in such a way that it withstands an internal pressure of up to 12 bar, preferably up to 10 bar, particularly preferably up to 8 bar and very particularly preferably up to 6 bar without bursting (at a temperature of 20° C. and a external pressure of 1 bar).
- the reservoir preferably has a volume of between 10 and 500 milliliters, particularly preferably between 30 and 200 milliliters. However, larger or smaller volumes are also conceivable.
- the cartridge system has in particular a liquid beverage substance which is preferably carbonated. It is alternatively conceivable that the liquid beverage substance is non-carbonated.
- the liquid beverage substance particularly preferably comprises a beverage concentrate, in particular a syrup.
- the cartridge holder is preferably connected to the cartridge.
- the cartridge and the cartridge holder can be connected directly (or directly) or indirectly (for example with the help of one or more intermediate elements).
- the cartridge is closed in an initial state of the cartridge system, with the cartridge being open in a preparation state of the cartridge system, in particular in such a way that a fluid connection is formed between the reservoir and the mixing chamber, with the Cartridge is closed in a reclosing state of the cartridge system, in particular after the preparation state.
- the preparation state of the cartridge system there is particularly preferably a liquid connection between the reservoir and the mixing chamber.
- the cartridge is preferably sealed in the reclosed state with the aid of the sealing element. It is conceivable that the tightness of the cartridge in the reclosable state corresponds to or is at least comparable to the tightness in the initial state.
- the tightness of the cartridge in the reclosable state is less than the tightness of the cartridge in the initial state. It is conceivable, for example, that the cartridge is not completely hermetically sealed in the closed state, but that one or more gases in particular can penetrate into the cartridge and/or escape from the cartridge. It is conceivable that the cartridge is closed in the reclosable state in such a way that liquids and in particular the beverage substance cannot escape from the cartridge (and/or cannot enter the cartridge). Alternatively, however, it is also possible for the cartridge to be closed in the reclosable state in such a way that liquids and in particular the beverage substance can escape from the cartridge comparatively slowly, for example drop by drop.
- the beverage substance remaining in the reservoir of the cartridge flows comparatively slowly out of the cartridge when it is resealed can get out, in particular much more slowly than in the preparation state of the cartridge system.
- the duration of the reclosure state in particular over a duration of up to 60 minutes, preferably up to 10 minutes, particularly preferably up to 1 minute, only a maximum of 20%, preferably a maximum of 10%, particularly preferably a maximum of 5% , further particularly preferably a maximum of 1% of the beverage substance present in the reservoir at the beginning of the reclosure state exit or can exit from the cartridge.
- the beverage substance escaping from the reservoir in this way during the resealing state preferably collects in the mixing chamber of the cartridge receptacle and is therefore preferably not lost for the preparation of another beverage after the resealing state.
- the cartridge is opened in a further preparation state of the cartridge system, in particular after the reclosing state, in particular such that a fluid connection is formed between the reservoir and the mixing chamber.
- the preparation state and the further preparation state are preferably separate preparation states between which the cartridge system is in the reclosing state. It is therefore conceivable that a drink is prepared in the preparation state and another drink is prepared in the further preparation state. At least two drinks can thus be prepared using a single cartridge or using the beverage substance in a single cartridge.
- the beverage substance present in the reservoir in the initial state of the cartridge system comprises at least a first portion and a second portion, with the first portion of the beverage substance passing from the reservoir into the mixing chamber in the preparation state of the cartridge system. wherein in the further preparation state of the cartridge system, the second portion of the drink substance from the reservoir reaches the mixing chamber.
- the beverage substance present in the reservoir in the initial state also includes a third portion and optionally further portions. It is conceivable that the third portion reaches the mixing chamber from the reservoir in an even further preparation state of the cartridge system, so that a third drink is prepared. Correspondingly, further drinks can be prepared with still further portions of the beverage substance.
- the cartridge in the initial state of the cartridge system, the cartridge, in particular a main body of the cartridge, is closed by the sealing element on its side opposite a cartridge base, with the cartridge, in particular the main body, being closed in the reclosing state of the cartridge system of the cartridge, is closed by the sealing element on its side opposite the cartridge base.
