Definitions
- the invention relates to capsules or containers for preparing products, for example beverages, in automatic dispensing machines.
- the invention relates to a sealed, single-dose and disposable capsule containing an initial product that is able to make a final product by interacting with pressurised fluid.
- Capsules are known that are intended for use on dispensing machines, which consist of single-dose and disposable containers comprising an outer casing, made of plastic material that are impermeable to liquids and to gases and have the shape of a beaker or cup.
- the casing has a bottom wall and a side wall defining an upper opening through which the product can be inserted from which to obtain the beverage.
- the upper opening is closed hermetically by a closing element, typically a sheet of aluminium or a plastic film, so as to seal the product inside the container.
- the closing element is generally fixed to a flange-shaped peripheral and annular edge of the casing, which is opposite the bottom wall and arranged around the upper opening.
- a lower opening is obtained through which the beverage is dispensed.
- the lower opening is closed hermetically by a closing element, typically a sheet of aluminium or a plastic film as the closing element of the upper opening.
- the capsule is perforable to permit pressurised liquid, preferably water, to be delivered inside the capsule.
- the closing element is perforable by suitable means of a dispensing machine to enable the pressurised liquid to be delivered into the capsule.
- the beverage is dispensed by the breaking of the closing element, which occurs when the pressure inside the capsule exceeds a predetermined value, depending on the mechanical resistance of the closing element.
- a further problem that occurs with this type of capsule is due to the fact that, when the closing element breaks, the pressurised liquid exits the capsule at high speed and, reaching a container intended for receiving the beverage, can cause squirts that exit the container, dirtying the dispensing machine and the zone surrounding the container.
- capsules have been designed that are provided, downstream of the lower opening, with one or more labyrinth paths, the object of which is to decrease the speed at which the beverage exits the capsule, to prevent the formation of spurts when the beverage reaches the container intended to receive the beverage, and generate load losses that make the pressure drop inside the capsule less sudden, i.e. more progressive, at the moment of breaking of the closing element of the lower opening.
- An object of the present invention is to make a capsule that is usable in known dispensing machines that prevents the occurrence of the water hammer phenomenon when the closing element of the lower opening of the capsule breaks and prevents the formation of spurts whilst the beverage is dispensed.
- a further object is to obtain a capsule that is cheap and easy to make.
- a capsule is provided for beverages according to claim 1 and one or more of the claims appended thereto.
- Figure 1 is a schematic cross section of a first embodiment of a capsule according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is section II-II of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is an enlarged detail of the capsule of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 4 is a schematic cross section of a second embodiment of a capsule according to the invention.
- Figure 5 is section V-V of Figure 4.
- Figure 6 is an enlarged detail of the capsule of Figure 4.
- Figure 7 is a top view of the capsule of Figure 4, without the closing element
- Figure 8 is a schematic cross section of a third embodiment of a capsule according to the invention
- Figure 9 is a schematic cross section of a fourth embodiment of a capsule according to the invention.
- a first embodiment is illustrated of a capsule 1 for beverages according to the invention, which is usable in an automatic dispensing machine for producing a final product, in particular a hot beverage, for example coffee, barley, herbal tea, tea, chocolate, etc., by injecting a hot pressurised fluid, for example water, inside the capsule.
- the capsule 1 according to the invention comprises an outer casing or container 2, in turn comprising a base wall 3 and a side wall 4 defining a cavity 5 that is open and suitable for containing an initial product P, for example a food, soluble or percolatable product to be combined with a fluid, typically water, to obtain a final product in the form of a beverage.
- the base wall 3 and the side wall 4 define a body of the capsule 1 that is substantially beaker or cup shaped.
- the casing further comprises a flange-shaped edge 7 connected to the side wall 4 and extending therefrom, arranged around a first opening 6 of the cavity 5, opposite the base wall.
- the edge 7 is also opposite the base wall 3 and faces outside the cavity 5.
- the base wall 3 is arranged around a second opening 8, through which the beverage, prepared from the initial product P, can exit the cavity 5.
- the base wall 3 is obtained as an annular plane surrounding the second opening 8 during forming of the casing 2.
- the casing 2 is in fact made by forming a sheet of thermoformable plastic material that is suitable for the process of preparing the final product from the initial product P, for example it is able to withstand without deformation temperatures up to 100°C and pressures at least up to 5 bar.
- Such a sheet of plastic material can have a thickness comprised between 15 micron and 1400 micron, in particular between 350 micron and 1200 micron and is made of a polyolefin, for example polypropylene PP and/or polyethylene PE and/or polyamide PA.
- a polyolefin for example polypropylene PP and/or polyethylene PE and/or polyamide PA.
- the sheet material can comprise a first layer of material, in particular suitable for contacting and/or conserving the initial product P, for example made of polypropylene PP that is impermeable to humidity, a second layer of material that is not in contact with the initial product P made of material that is impermeable to gases, in particular to oxygen and optionally also to humidity, also known as a barrier layer and third layer of outer material.
- the barrier layer interposed between the first and the second layer, ensures complete insulation of the external environment of the cavity 5, in particular if the first layer is permeable over time to oxygen.
- the barrier layer has a thickness comprised between 2 micron and 100 micron, in particular between 15 micron and 70 micron, and is made for example of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), which is gas-impermeable only to oxygen or polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), which is impermeable to gases, both to oxygen and to humidity.
- EVOH ethylene vinyl alcohol
- PVDC polyvinylidene chloride
- the first and the third layer are made of the same material, for example polypropylene PP, and are coupled with the barrier layer interposed therebetween.
- Such layers can have the same thickness (for example 350 micron), or different thicknesses (for example the first layer can have a thickness of 500 micron whereas the third layer can have a thickness of 300 micron).
- the first layer is a support layer and is made of polypropylene PP
- the second layer is the barrier layer (EVOH or PVDC)
- the third layer is an extruded layer of polypropylene PP or polyethylene PE, with a thickness equal to 15 micron, which is coupled with the first and second layer during the process of producing the sheet material.
- the sheet material both in accordance with the first and the second embodiment, is thus selected in such a manner as to protect over time the initial product P contained in the capsule from humidity and oxygen.
- the capsule further comprises a closing element 9 fixed to the edge 7 of the casing 2 to close hermetically the first opening 6 of the open cavity 5.
- the closing element 9 comprises a sheet of aluminium or a plastic film provided with a barrier layer that is perforable by injection means 10 by means of which a pressurised liquid, for example water, is injected inside the cavity 5 to produce the beverage.
- the closing element 9 is fixed to the edge 7 of the casing 2 by thermal or ultrasound welding or gluing.
- the closing element 8 is fixed to the casing by thermowelding.
- the second opening 8, preferably of circular shape, in the base wall 3 is also closed hermetically by a closing element 11 that is similar to the closing element 9, fixed to the base wall 3, inside the cavity 5, by thermal or ultrasound welding, or gluing. Also the closing element 11 is fixed to the casing 2, preferably by thermowelding.
- the closing element 9 and the closing element 11 are used to close hermetically the cavity 5 and preserve the initial product P contained therein.
- the closing element 11 is intended to tear when, following the delivery of pressurised liquid into the cavity 5, the pressure inside the cavity 5 exceeds a predetermined value, depending on the mechanical resistance of the material of which the closing element 11 is made. Tearing the closing element 11 causes the beverage to exit the cavity 5 and subsequent dispensing thereof into a container intended for receiving the beverage, for example a cup or a beaker.
- a filtering element 20 is arranged comprising a body 28, for example made of plastic material, in which a plurality of holes 21 is obtained, the holes having dimensions that are such as to permit the passing of the beverage but to prevent the passing of the initial product P, when the initial product P is made of non-soluble material. This is to prevent particles of the product P being able to be dispensed together with the beverage.
- the body 28 is provided with an annular ridge 22, by means of which the filtering element 20 rests on the base wall 3.
- the filtering element 20 is made in such a manner as to provide great resistance to deformation so as not to be deformed significantly through the effect of the pressure that develops within the cavity 5 when a pressurised liquid is delivered thereto to prepare the beverage.
- the body 28 of the filtering element 20 has a convex shape, with convexity facing inside the cavity 5.
- the casing 2 further comprises a bottom wall 31 so that the capsule 1 comprises a chamber 12 located opposite the base wall 3 with respect to the cavity 5.
- the chamber 12 can communicate with the cavity 5 through the second opening 8, when the closing element 11 is torn.
- the chamber 12 has a cross section preferably of circular shape and is provided with an outlet opening 13, made in the centre of the bottom wall 31 of the casing 2, opposite the base wall 3 of the casing 2, through which the beverage is dispensed that is prepared by means of the initial product P.
- the chamber 12 can also have a different section from the circular section, for example an elliptical or polygonal section.
- a damping element 14 is arranged, the function of which is to control the exit speed of the beverage, in particular to prevent the occurrence of the phenomenon of water hammer at the moment of tearing of the closing element 11, or, at least, considerably reduce the intensity of the pressure waves generated by the aforesaid phenomenon.
- the damping element 14 also performs the function of preventing the formation of spurts whilst the beverage is dispensed into a container.
- the damping element 14 comprises a body 15 having a plan shape corresponding to the shape of the cross section of the chamber 12 and cross section of rectangular or also substantially lenticular shape.
- the body 15 has dimensions that are such that between the body 15 and the side wall 16 of the chamber 12 an annular passage S of reduced width remains that is such as to significantly slow down the speed of the beverage that passes through the annular passage and generate a significant pressure difference between the entrance and the exit of the passage S.
- the width of the annular passage S is not greater than 2 mm, which also enables a beverage with foam to be obtained.
- the body 1 of the damping element 14 also acts as a resting element for the closing element 11 when the latter is deformed through the effect of a pressure increase due to the delivery of liquid into the cavity 5.
- the distance D between the body 15 and the closing element 11 is chosen in such a manner that the central zone of the closing element 11 comes to rest on the body 15 before getting torn through the effect of the pressure increase in the cavity 5.
- the body 15 of the damping element 14 is fixed by a plurality of columns 17 to a flange 18 of a hollow cylindrical element 19 having dimensions that are such as to be inserted with interference into the outlet opening 13, so as to act as a nozzle for dispensing the beverage and maintaining the body 15 of the damping element 14 centred in the chamber 13, so that the annular passage S has a substantially constant width.
- the body 15, the columns 17, the flange 18 and the hollow cylindrical element 19 are preferably made of a single body.
- the closing element 11 When the pressure in the cavity 5 increases, the closing element 11 is deformed, progressively taking on a convex configuration with convexity facing the body 15 of the damping element 14. Through the effect of the deformation, the distance D decreases until it disappears when the central zone C of the closing element 11 comes into contact with and comes to rest on the body 15.
- the beverage that exits at high speed from the tearing of the closing element 11 is greatly slowed when passing through the annular passage S.
- This causes a great pressure drop through the passage S, which enables the pressure decrease in the cavity 5 to be reduced greatly at the moment of tearing of the closing element 11 and a progressive decrease of pressure in said cavity 5 to be obtained whilst the beverage is dispensed so as to avoid the occurrence of the water hammer phenomenon, or greatly limit the intensity of the pressure waves generated by the aforesaid phenomenon.
- the capsule may explode at the moment of tearing of the closing element 11 and pressure waves may be generated that are able to damage the hydraulic circuit of the dispensing machine, spreading through the injection means 10.
- the slowing of the beverage through the annular passage S means that the beverage reaches the hollow cylindrical element 19 at low speed and is then dispensed into a container that is intended to receive the beverage without producing spurts that may dirty the dispensing machine and the zone surrounding said container.
- the body 15 of the damping element 14 can be made to be stiff, or elastically deformable. In this latter case, through the effect of the pressure exerted thereupon by the beverage that exits the cavity 5, the edge of the damping element is deformed, thus varying the width of the annular passage S, which increases at the start of dispensing of the beverage, and then decreases progressively to a minimum value corresponding to the undeformed configuration of the body 15, whilst the pressure inside the cavity 5 decreases.
- the damping element 14 comprises a body 30 having a plan shape corresponding to the shape of the cross section of the chamber 12 and dimensions that are such that between the body 30 and the wall 16 of the chamber 12 an annular passage S remains that is of reduced width that is such as to significantly slow down the speed of the beverage that passes through it and generate a significant pressure difference between the entrance and the exit of the passage S.
- the width of the annular passage S is not greater than 2 mm, which also enables a beverage with foam to be obtained.
- the body 30 comprises a plurality of substantially stiff sectors 27, separated by elastically deformable flexible elements 26, for example in the form of fins, that flex through the effect of the pressure exerted thereupon by the beverage exiting the cavity 5, thus varying the width of the annular passage S in the zones corresponding to the ends of the fins 26, increasing said width at the start of dispensing of the beverage, and then decreases the width progressively to a minimum value corresponding to the undeformed configuration of the fins 26, whilst the pressure inside the cavity 5 decreases.
- the body 30 of the damping element 14 is fixed, by a plurality of columns 17, to a flange 18 of a hollow cylindrical element 19 having dimensions that are such as to be inserted with interference into the outlet opening 13, so as to act as a nozzle for dispensing the beverage and maintaining the body 15 of the damping element 14 centred in the chamber 13, so that the annular passage S has a substantially constant width.
- the body 30, the columns 17, the flange 18 and the hollow cylindrical element 19 are preferably made of a single body.
- the filtering element 20 has a substantially flat respective body 29, for example made of plastic material, in which a plurality of holes 21 is made, that have dimensions that are such as to permit the passage of the beverage but prevent the passage of the initial product P, when it consists of non-soluble material. This is to prevent particles of the product P being dispensed together with the beverage.
- the body 29 is provided, on the face facing the inside of the cavity 5, with a plurality of stiffening radial ribs 24, preferably arranged with a constant angular pitch that prevent the filtering element 20 being deformed significantly through the effect of the pressure developing in the cavity 5 when a pressurised liquid is delivered thereinto for preparing the beverage.
- the number of radial ribs 24 is preferably equal to six.
- FIG. 8 a third embodiment of a capsule 1 according to the invention is illustrated.
- the capsule 1 is provided with a damping element 14 comprising a body 30 consisting of a plurality of substantially stiff sectors 27, separated by flexible elements 26, for example in the form of fins, as in the second embodiment illustrated in Figures 4 to 7.
- the capsule 1 is provided with a filtering element 20 provided with a body 28 having a convex shape, with convexity facing the inside of the cavity 5, as in the first embodiment of the capsule 1 illustrated in Figures 1 to 3.
- a fourth embodiment of a capsule 1 according to the invention is illustrated.
- the capsule 1 is provided with a damping element 14 comprising a body 15 having a plan shape corresponding to the shape of the cross section of the chamber 12 and with a substantially lenticular section, as in the first embodiment of the capsule illustrated in Figures 1 to 3.
- the capsule 1 is provided with a filtering element 20 provided with a substantially flat body 29 provided, on the face facing the inside of the cavity 5, with a plurality of stiffening radial ribs 24, arranged preferably at a constant angular pitch, as in the second embodiment of the capsule 1 illustrated in Figures 4 to 7.
- a capsule 1 Owing to the casing 2 of the capsule 1 made by thermoforming and to the damping element 14 made of a single body with the hollow cylindrical element 19 that acts as a dispensing nozzle and is fixed through interference in the outlet opening 13 a capsule 1 is obtained that is made at low cost that also enables a beverage with foam to be obtained, where required.
