Abstract

カプセル（1）は、上側を蓋（3）で閉じられているカップ形本体（2）を含む。本発明の主な特徴は、カプセル（1）が、各々が水流の入口領域を有し、各々が浸出液の出口領域を有する複数の浸出チャンバ（7、8）を内部に備えることにある。The capsule (1) comprises a cup-shaped body (2) whose upper side is closed with a lid (3). The main feature of the present invention is that the capsule (1) has a plurality of leaching chambers (7, 8) therein, each having a water flow inlet region, each having a leachate outlet region.

Description

本発明は、浸出型の飲料を調製するためのカプセルに関する。   The present invention relates to a capsule for preparing a brewed beverage.

通常、少なくとも2種の製品を混合して形成される浸出によって飲料を調製したい場合（例えば、コーヒーとミルクの泡とからなることで有名なカプチーノを調製したい場合）は、製品が既に混合されているカプセルすなわちチャンバ、又は各製品用の、重なっている2つのチャンバが画定されたカプセルが使用される。使用される2のチャンバを有するカプセルに、第1の製品による第1の浸出液を作るために、上部チャンバには加圧された湯が通され、次に、第1の浸出液は、第2の製品と混合して飲料となるように、開口を通じて第2のチャンバへ向けて通される。もしコーヒーとミルクが製品として使用されたならば、カプセルから出てくる飲料は本物のカプチーノではなく、むしろ普通のミルク入りコーヒーであることは明らかであると思われる。事実、本物のカプチーノは、コーヒーとミルクの泡を別々に用意して、それらをその後に必ず別々にカップに注ぐことを必要とする。   Usually, if you want to prepare a beverage by leaching formed by mixing at least two products (for example, if you want to prepare a cappuccino famous for consisting of coffee and milk foam), the product is already mixed Capsules or chambers are used, or capsules in which two overlapping chambers are defined for each product. Pressurized hot water is passed through the upper chamber to make a first leachate from the first product in a capsule having two chambers used, and then the first leachate is second It is passed through the opening towards the second chamber to be mixed with the product into a beverage. If coffee and milk were used as products, it would be obvious that the beverage coming out of the capsule is not a real cappuccino, but rather an ordinary milk coffee. In fact, real cappuccino requires preparing coffee and milk foam separately and then always pouring them separately into a cup.

欧州特許出願公開第1,704,803号明細書（A1）（トゥットエスプレッソ）は、カートリッジと、カートリッジから飲料容器に飲料を分配する飲料収集ユニットとを含む飲料分配装置から飲料を分配する方法を開示している。この方法によれば、飲料は、カートリッジから飲料を分配する少なくとも2つの別箇の分配デバイスを通ってカートリッジから容器に分配される。   EP 1,704,803 (A1) (Tutto Espresso) discloses a method of dispensing a beverage from a beverage dispensing device comprising a cartridge and a beverage collection unit for dispensing beverage from the cartridge into a beverage container. . According to this method, the beverage is dispensed from the cartridge into the container through at least two separate dispensing devices that dispense the beverage from the cartridge.

The cup-shaped main body 2 has a cylindrical side wall 4 and a bottom wall 5. One intermediate wall 6 that divides the inside of the cup-shaped body 2 into two leaching chambers 7 and 8 is present inside the cup-shaped body 2, and the intermediate wall 6 is integral with the bottom wall 5, and from the bottom wall 5 to the side wall 4 Extending parallel to The brewing chamber 7 is defined at the bottom by the central part 11 of the bottom wall 5 and at the sides by the inner surface of the intermediate wall 6. The brewing chamber 8 is concentric with the brewing chamber 7 and is defined at the bottom by the annular portion 12 of the bottom wall 5 and at the sides by the outer surface of the intermediate wall 6 and the inner surface of the side wall 4. In the central part 11 of the bottom wall 5, a first outlet region is provided. According to the present embodiment, the first outlet region is defined by a plurality of through holes 13 provided along a plurality of circumferences. The annular part 12 of the bottom wall 5 is provided with a second outlet region. According to the present embodiment, the second outlet region is defined by the plurality of through holes 14 provided along the circumference. Two annular projections 15, 16 start from the outer surface of the bottom wall 5 and extend downward. An annular projection 15 is adjacent to the intermediate wall 6 and defines the first outlet region described above. The annular protrusion 16 is substantially an extension of the lower end of the side wall 4 and together with the annular protrusion 15 defines the second outlet region. The side wall 4 has an annular end 17 at its upper end, and the thickness of the annular end is greater than the thickness of the remaining part of the side wall 4. The annular end 17 extends from the outer surface of the side wall 4.

蓋3は、2つの部分 22、23を蓋3内に画定する2つの環状の壁厚部18、21を有する。壁厚部18は蓋3の周辺端部に沿って形成され、蓋3が取り付けられると、側壁4の内表面の上端近傍に得られた環状の突起 24に当接する。壁厚部21は壁厚部18と同心で、蓋3が取り付けられると、中間壁6の上端近傍で終わる。中心に位置し壁厚部21によって画定される部分22に、第1の入口領域が画定される。環状で2つの壁厚部22、23によって画定される部分23に、第2の入口領域が画定される。第1の入口領域は均一に分布する複数の貫通孔25を有し、第2の入口領域は部分23に沿って均一に分布する複数の貫通孔26を有する。   The lid 3 has two annular wall thicknesses 18, 21 that define two parts 22, 23 in the lid 3. The thick wall portion 18 is formed along the peripheral end portion of the lid 3, and comes into contact with an annular protrusion 24 obtained near the upper end of the inner surface of the side wall 4 when the lid 3 is attached. The thick wall portion 21 is concentric with the thick wall portion 18 and ends near the upper end of the intermediate wall 6 when the lid 3 is attached. A first inlet region is defined at a portion 22 that is centrally defined by the wall thickness 21. A second inlet region is defined in a portion 23 that is annular and defined by two wall thicknesses 22,23. The first inlet region has a plurality of through holes 25 that are uniformly distributed, and the second inlet region has a plurality of through holes 26 that are uniformly distributed along the portion 23.

図に示すように、蓋がカプセル1の内部に取り付けられると、互いから仕切られ、互いに対して実質的に液密に密封された2つの浸出チャンバ7、8が画定される。浸出チャンバ7、8はそれぞれ所定の量の浸出液を収容する。浸出チャンバ7は底部壁5の部分11によって底部を画定され、中間壁6の内表面によって側部を画定され、蓋3の部分22によって頂部を画定される。蓋3の組み立ての後、壁厚部21近傍の部分22の周辺端部は中間壁6の上端に当接し、これにより浸出チャンバ7と浸出チャンバ8との間の液密な実質的な密封が得られることが強調されるべきである。   As shown, when the lid is attached to the interior of the capsule 1, two brewing chambers 7, 8 are defined that are separated from each other and substantially liquid tightly sealed to each other. The leaching chambers 7, 8 each contain a predetermined amount of leaching liquid. The brewing chamber 7 is defined at the bottom by a portion 11 of the bottom wall 5, at the side by the inner surface of the intermediate wall 6 and at the top by a portion 22 of the lid 3. After assembly of the lid 3, the peripheral edge of the portion 22 in the vicinity of the wall thickness 21 abuts the upper end of the intermediate wall 6, thereby providing a liquid-tight substantial seal between the leaching chamber 7 and the leaching chamber 8. It should be emphasized that it is obtained.

浸出チャンバ8は、底部壁5の部分15によって底部を画定され、中間壁6の外表面と側壁4の内表面とによって側部を画定され、蓋3の部分 23によって頂部を画定される。側壁4の内表面はわずかに上方に向かって広がっており、蓋3の直径は、組み立て後、浸出チャンバ8が液密に密封されるように、蓋3の周辺端部が側壁4の内表面に力で押し付けられるようになっていることが強調されるべきである。   The brewing chamber 8 is delimited at the bottom by a portion 15 of the bottom wall 5, delimited by the outer surface of the intermediate wall 6 and the inner surface of the side wall 4 and delimited by the portion 23 of the lid 3. The inner surface of the side wall 4 extends slightly upward, and the diameter of the lid 3 is such that the peripheral edge of the lid 3 is the inner surface of the side wall 4 so that the leaching chamber 8 is liquid tightly sealed after assembly. It should be emphasized that it is being pressed against by force.

要するに、カプセル1は互いに対して液密に密封された2つの独立した浸出チャンバ7、8を有し、浸出チャンバ7、8はそれぞれ液体の入口領域と、液体の出口領域とを有する。   In short, the capsule 1 has two independent leaching chambers 7, 8 that are liquid-tightly sealed with respect to each other, the leaching chambers 7, 8 each having a liquid inlet region and a liquid outlet region.

図3を参照すると、カプセル1は、底部壁32と、円筒形状の側壁33とを有する下部カップ形本体31を含む濾過要素30に挿入されている。濾過要素30はまた、側壁33の上縁部を覆うプレート34を含む。濾過要素30は、このようにして、底部壁32の内表面によって底部を画定され、側壁33の内表面によって側部を画定され、プレート34の内表面によって頂部を画定される濾過チャンバ35を画定する。図3に示すように、カプセル1が濾過チャンバ35に挿入されると、プレート34は、壁厚部18、21に押し付けられ、カプセル1の蓋3に形成される2つの入口領域の間が密封される。プレート34はまた、側壁33の上縁部と、カプセル1の環状端部17とに対しても押し付けられる。このようにして、濾過チャンバ35から外部に対して密封が得られる。最後に、図3から分かるが、環状の突起15、16は、下部カップ形本体31の底部壁32の内表面に当接し、上記したカプセル1の2つの出口領域の間の液密な密封と、カプセル1の外表面と濾過チャンバ35との間に画定される空間に対する2つの出口領域の密封とが得られる。   Referring to FIG. 3, the capsule 1 is inserted into a filtration element 30 that includes a lower cup-shaped body 31 having a bottom wall 32 and a cylindrical side wall 33. The filtering element 30 also includes a plate 34 that covers the upper edge of the side wall 33. The filtration element 30 thus defines a filtration chamber 35 that is delimited by the inner surface of the bottom wall 32, delimited by the inner surface of the side wall 33, and delimited by the inner surface of the plate 34. To do. As shown in FIG. 3, when the capsule 1 is inserted into the filtration chamber 35, the plate 34 is pressed against the wall thicknesses 18, 21 to seal between the two inlet regions formed in the lid 3 of the capsule 1. Is done. The plate 34 is also pressed against the upper edge of the side wall 33 and the annular end 17 of the capsule 1. In this way, a sealing is obtained from the filtration chamber 35 to the outside. Finally, as can be seen from FIG. 3, the annular protrusions 15, 16 abut against the inner surface of the bottom wall 32 of the lower cup-shaped body 31, and provide a liquid-tight seal between the two outlet regions of the capsule 1 described above. A sealing of the two outlet areas to the space defined between the outer surface of the capsule 1 and the filtration chamber 35 is obtained.

プレート34内に2つの貫通孔36、37が設けられる。貫通孔36、37のうち、貫通孔36はダクト8の一端が挿入される上端と、蓋3の部分22に対応し、よって、カプセル1の上記の第1の入口領域に対応する下端とを有する。特に、貫通孔36は、濾過チャンバ35の縦軸と一直線になるように得られ、よって、カプセル1の縦軸と一直線になるように設けられる。貫通孔37は、蓋3の部分23に対応し、よって、カプセル1の上記の第2の入口領域に対応する下端とを有する。下部カップ形本体31の底部壁32もまた、2つの貫通孔38、41を有する。貫通孔38、41のうち、貫通孔38はカプセル1の上記の第1の出口領域に対応する上端と、濾過チャンバ35の外部へ通じる下端とを有する。特に、貫通孔38は貫通孔36と一直線になるように設けられる。貫通孔41はカプセル1の上記の第2の出口領域に対応する上端と、濾過チャンバ35の外部へ通じる下端とを有する。特に、貫通孔41は貫通孔37と一直線になるように実現される。   Two through holes 36 and 37 are provided in the plate 34. Of the through holes 36 and 37, the through hole 36 has an upper end into which one end of the duct 8 is inserted and a lower end corresponding to the portion 22 of the lid 3 and thus corresponding to the first inlet region of the capsule 1. Have. In particular, the through-hole 36 is obtained so as to be aligned with the vertical axis of the filtration chamber 35, and is thus provided so as to be aligned with the vertical axis of the capsule 1. The through hole 37 corresponds to the portion 23 of the lid 3 and thus has a lower end corresponding to the second inlet region of the capsule 1. The bottom wall 32 of the lower cup-shaped body 31 also has two through holes 38 and 41. Of the through holes 38 and 41, the through hole 38 has an upper end corresponding to the first outlet region of the capsule 1 and a lower end communicating with the outside of the filtration chamber 35. In particular, the through hole 38 is provided so as to be aligned with the through hole 36. The through hole 41 has an upper end corresponding to the second outlet region of the capsule 1 and a lower end communicating with the outside of the filtration chamber 35. In particular, the through hole 41 is realized so as to be aligned with the through hole 37.

もし貫通孔36、37にそれぞれ別の水流が供給されるならば、カプセル1へ注入される浸出液ごとに2つの別箇の流路を画定することが可能である。第1の流路は、貫通孔36、浸出チャンバ7及び貫通孔38を提供する。第2の流路は、貫通孔37、浸出チャンバ8及び貫通孔41を提供する。この流路の分割は、2つの流路に同時に水を供給する可能性を含み、2つの水流はそれぞれに対応する浸出液に合流すると、混ざり合って濾過要素30の下に置かれた容器の中に流れ込む。あるいは流路の分割によって、第1の水流は第1の流路に沿って流れ、その後に第2の水流が第2の流路に沿って流れ、その結果、第2の浸出液を通る第2の水流が、第1の浸出液を通った第1の水流が既に入っている容器の中に落ちることになるかもしれない。最終的に、2つの浸出液は、上記の容器の中か、この容器の中へ送られる間か、又はその後に混ざり合うことができる。   If separate water streams are supplied to the through-holes 36, 37, it is possible to define two separate flow paths for each exudate injected into the capsule 1. The first flow path provides a through hole 36, a leaching chamber 7 and a through hole 38. The second flow path provides the through hole 37, the leaching chamber 8 and the through hole 41. This division of the flow path includes the possibility of supplying water to the two flow paths at the same time, and when the two water streams join the corresponding leachate, they mix together in a container placed under the filter element 30. Flow into. Alternatively, by dividing the flow path, the first water flow flows along the first flow path, and then the second water flow flows along the second flow path, and as a result, the second water flowing through the second leachate. Of water may fall into a container that already contains the first water stream through the first leachate. Finally, the two leachates can be mixed in the container, while being fed into the container, or thereafter.

カプセル1の内部により多くの数のチャンバを設けることが可能であり、これによって複数の浸出液(各チャンバ毎に1の浸出液)を使用するだけでなく、同じカプセル1を用いて浸出液のどの混合物が飲料を構成するかを決定できることが明らかである。実際、どの流路に、どの流量で、どの水温で、対応する水流が供給されるべきかが選択されることが予想できる。   It is possible to provide a larger number of chambers inside the capsule 1, which not only uses multiple leachate (one leachate for each chamber) but also which mixture of leachate using the same capsule 1 It is clear that it can be decided whether to constitute a beverage. In fact, it can be expected that which flow path, at which flow rate, at which water temperature, the corresponding water flow should be supplied.

本発明の主要な特徴は、カプセル1からの2つの別箇の出口領域を各浸出液毎に1つずつ提供することではあるが、さらなる変形例においては、蓋3の壁厚部21を設けないことも可能である。その結果、カプセル1の入口領域への水流は、貫通孔36と貫通孔37との間の単一の貫通孔を提供することが可能である。   The main feature of the present invention is to provide two separate outlet regions from the capsule 1, one for each exudate, but in a further variant, the wall thickness 21 of the lid 3 is not provided. It is also possible. As a result, the water flow to the inlet region of the capsule 1 can provide a single through hole between the through hole 36 and the through hole 37.

最後に、各出口領域の浸出チャンバのいくつか又はすべてに、浸出液の漏れを防止するフィルタを取り付けることが可能である。   Finally, some or all of the leaching chambers in each outlet region can be fitted with a filter that prevents leakage of the leachate.

上記の説明から、本発明の実施形態により達成される多数の利点が明らかである。   From the above description, a number of advantages achieved by embodiments of the present invention are apparent.

特に、いくつかのチャンバ(各チャンバ毎に1つの浸出液が収容される)を有し、各チャンバへ水流を送ることを可能にするカプセルが用意される。例えば、もし第1の浸出液がコーヒーパウダーによって定義され、第2の浸出液がミルクパウダー又は液体のミルクによって定義されるならば、得られる飲料は、普通のミルク入りコーヒーではなく本物のカプチーノであることは明らかであると思われる。各流路毎に水流の流量が選択可能であることが強調されるべきである。流量は、蓋3に設けられる貫通孔25、26の数と大きさによって決まる。環状に展開した浸出チャンバを用いれば、予め決められた取付説明書がなくてもカプセルを濾過要素に取り付けることが可能であることも明らかであると思われる。最後に、2つ以上のチャンバを有するカプセルの場合には、水流がどのチャンバを通るかを選択できる。   In particular, capsules are provided that have several chambers (one exudate is accommodated for each chamber) and allow a stream of water to be sent to each chamber. For example, if the first leachate is defined by coffee powder and the second leachate is defined by milk powder or liquid milk, the resulting beverage should be a real cappuccino rather than ordinary coffee with milk. Seems obvious. It should be emphasized that the flow rate of the water flow is selectable for each channel. The flow rate is determined by the number and size of the through holes 25 and 26 provided in the lid 3. It will also be apparent that with the use of an annularly deployed brewing chamber, it is possible to attach the capsule to the filtration element without a predetermined installation instruction. Finally, in the case of a capsule with more than one chamber, it is possible to select which chamber the water stream passes through.
