Definitions

  • the present invention refers to the field of capsules for preparing edible products, including aromatic beverages such as for example espresso type coffee, tea and similar.
  • the present invention further refers to a system for preparation of beverages and to a process of operation of said system.
  • the prior art includes several solutions relating to systems for preparing beverages based upon capsules containing a given quantity of at least one edible substance and provided so that they are processed in an extraction device by means of fixating them inside thereof and providing a pressuring fluid flow to cross them, such as for example in a machine for preparing beverages including coffee of the espresso type, tea and similar.
  • this type of capsules may displace along a direction transversal to the prevailing flow direction, notably in a rotation movement around its axial axis, in particular in the case of the injection of pressurized water not being made by means penetrating the envelope of the capsule.
  • extraction device with multiple pressurized water injection points there is a need to ensure that the capsule is fixated in a reliable manner, and eventually positioned in a given angular position, inside of a respective extraction device.
  • Document FR 2905683 A1 discloses a capsule provided with a groove of circular form on the flow entry side that comprises a plurality of entry hole for the pressurized water so as to avoid the deterioration of the container as a result of perforation thereof.
  • the document further discloses a pressurized locking engagement between two construction elements of the capsule, provided in the top face opposing to the one provided with said groove.
  • the groove is thus not provided so as to reinforce the structural resistance of the top wall of the capsule, in particular in view of reducing the wall thickness and, therefore, the amount of material used, without constraining the structural resistance.
  • said groove does not provide a plurality of engagement possibilities with external elements provided in a respective extraction device that simultaneously enables to additionally fixate and to recognize the capsule in said extraction device.
  • Document EP 1950150 B1 discloses means for recognizing the contents of a capsule for preparing beverages.
  • the capsule discloses a plurality of recesses provided in a surface adapted for flow entry and configured to engage with corresponding recognition means provided in the form of mechanic displacement probe.
  • Said mechanic probe means operate based upon a relative displacement, eventually undergoing enhanced wear after a given operation period. This solution does not reinforce the connection between the two main construction elements of the capsule.
  • Document WO 2008/090122 A2 discloses a capsule presenting a plurality of circular cavities or recesses in the lid part. Such cavities or recesses are not provided as developing along a distal circumferential alignment centered relative to an axial axis of the capsule, and are not adapted to provide structural reinforcement.
  • Document FR 2970242 A1 discloses a reusable capsule comprising a container part presenting spigots and a lid part presenting corresponding spigots enabling a connection between both parts by means of a slight rotation thereof.
  • Document EP 2771259 B1 discloses a capsule with reinforcement members associated with a respective lid member, whereby said reinforcement members protrude from the upper wall in axial direction. That is, said reinforcement members are provided as protrusions, not as grooves extending inwards relative to the outwards oriented surface of said lid member.
  • This document also does not disclose a solution to provide a reliable fixation against the possibility of rotation around an axial axis, and eventual positioning of the capsule in a given angular position, inside a respective extraction device. None of the documents in prior art thus discloses an integrated and efficient solution in structural and economic terms for the aforementioned problems.
  • the goal of the present invention is to provide a capsule in a substantially rigid construction, for collection of at least one edible substance, in particular adapted for preparation of edible products including beverages, inside of a respective extraction device, and that provides a reliable fixation relative to an axial axis, including against the possibility of rotation around said axial axis, and eventually positioning in a give angular position, inside of a respective extraction device, together with enhanced structural resistance of the flow entry zone and of the engagement zone between the main construction elements of the capsule.
  • the capsule according to the invention comprises a first construction element configured in a container-like form, and a second construction element configured in a lid-like form, and adapted for entry of a pressurized fluid preferentially without rupture or perforation of a respective outside envelope, and adapted for joint assembly so as to provide an interior volume for collection of a dose of at least one edible substance, including coffee, tea and similar, whereby according to a first inventive aspect, said second construction element presents at least one engagement groove in the surface oriented towards the outside of the capsule, wherein said engagement groove presents a distal edge relative to said common axial axis, that develops along at least part of a distal circumferential alignment that is centered relative to said common axial axis, and wherein said distal edge of at least one of said engagement grooves develops along at least most part, preferentially the totality of a circumferential alignment in the proximity of the engagement zone between said first and second construction elements.
  • the engagement grooves present an elongated form, including in form of arc of circle or similar, and a substantially similar angular dimension along said circumferential alignment, whereby its radial dimension is preferentially smaller than a third of the radius of said second construction element.
  • the present invention provides a capsule that presents an additional resistance to the pressure forces that it is submitted to in a beverage preparation process, in particular in view of a reduction of the wall thickness at least of the top wall and of a use of mechanical assembly means of said construction elements, optimized so as to enable a manual closure of the capsule.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a system for preparation of beverages including capsules according to the invention, at least one beverage preparation machine including at least one extraction device configured so as to use capsules according to the invention, and providing several possibilities of fixation and eventually orientation of the capsule in a respective extraction device by mechanic means.
  • An advantage of the system for preparation of beverages according to the present invention is the possibility of using capsules of substantially similar construction and configuration but adapted for use in different extraction devices, eventually provided for production of different types of edible products, whereby said capsules only differ in the format of the engagement grooves in a lid-like construction element and corresponding fixation elements in the extraction device of a respective beverage preparation machine.
  • this fixation engage includes no rupture of the outside envelope of the capsule, but rather a structural reinforcement thereof and better fixation and positioning conditions thereof in a respective extraction device.
  • Another goal of the present invention is to provide a process of operation of a system for preparation of beverages according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 represents two embodiments of a capsule (1) according to prior art, including a first construction element (2) configured in a container-like form, and a second construction element (3) configured in lid-like form.
  • Said first and second construction elements (2, 3) are substantially rigid and adapted for joint assembly along a common axial axis (XX) of said capsule (1), thereby providing an interior volume adapted for collection of a dose (4) of at least one edible substance, for example roasted ground coffee.
  • Said first construction element (2) includes a sidewall element (22) and, in the case of the embodiment represented on the right, a base wall element (21), eventually provided in a single piece.
  • Said second construction element (3) includes at least one top wall element (31).
  • the exterior envelope of the capsule (1) is thus formed by said wall elements (21, 22, 31), each presenting a respective wall thickness (e 21 , e 22 , e 31 ), whereby said base wall element (21) and top wall element (31) provide surfaces adapted so that they can be oriented towards an upstream and downstream flow, respectively, inside of a respective extraction device, as it shall be explained in greater detail further below.
  • the assembly engagement between said first and second construction elements (2, 3) is provided along the perimeter of the top free end of the sidewall element (22), whereby in particular in the case of a connection by means of pressure fit mechanic engagement, it is important to consider the structural resistance to the pressure forces that the capsule (1) is submitted to, so as to ensure that the connection reliably provides tightness and so as to reduce the thickness of the main construction elements of the capsule (1).
  • Figure 2 presents a first set of two capsules (1, 1').
  • said second construction element (3) presents at least one engagement groove (8) in the surface oriented towards to the exterior of the capsule (1, 1'), whose distal edge (81) develops along a circumferential alignment (A) provided concentric relative to said common axial axis (XX) in the proximity of the perimeter edge, that is to say, in the proximity of the engagement zone between the construction elements (2, 3), so that it additionally reinforces the structural resistance of said engagement zone, and this despite of an eventually smaller wall thickness of said construction elements (2, 3).
  • said engagement groove (8) presents a radial engagement dimension (l 8 ) adapted so as to engage with at least a respective interaction element (9), as explained further below.
  • said engagement groove (8) presents a distal edge (81) that develops along a circumferential alignment (A) centered relative to the axial axis (XX) and a proximal edge (82) that develops along a circumferential alignment (A') decentered relative to the axial axis (XX) so that the engagement groove (8) provides at least two zones of engagement groove presenting a different radial engagement dimension (l 8 , l' 8 ), whereby said radial engagement dimension varies preferentially in substantially continuous manner along said engagement groove (8).
  • a system for preparation of beverages including two capsules (1, 1') according to the invention thus provides different types of fixation engagement adapted for extraction devices configured correspondingly as it shall be explained in greater detail further below, while simultaneously providing a structural reinforcement of the engagement zone between said construction elements (2, 3).
  • a capsule (1) can thus provide an additional fixation engagement along the whole perimeter (on the left) or only in a given relative position thereof (on the right), thereby only varying the configuration of the engagement groove (8) provided on said second construction element (3).
  • the engagement groove (8) is provided with variable depth (on the left), advantageously providing a gradual fixation engagement, or with constant depth (on the right).
  • the engagement groove (8) can be produced as a reduction of wall thickness (on the left) or as a variation of form (on the right) of the top wall element (31).
  • the arrangement of the engagement groove (8) in the relative proximity of the perimeter edge leads to a structural reinforcement of such zone and, therefore, of the constructive connection between said construction elements (2, 3).
  • this aspect advantageously enables the use of a mechanic assembly of said construction elements (2, 3) as it shall be explained in greater detail further below.
  • Figure 3 presents a second set of embodiments of capsules (1, 1') according to the invention, in this case each presenting a plurality of engagement grooves (8) configured as curved segments and distributed substantially uniformly along said circumferential alignment (A).
  • a fixation engagement by means of positive locking requires placing the capsule (1) in a particular angular position relative to a corresponding fixation element provided on the extraction device (5).
  • the fact that the engagement grooves (8) develop in a cumulative extension corresponding to most part of a circumferential alignment (A) should facilitate a respective fixation engagement, regardless of the angular position in which the capsule (1) is introduced in an extraction device (5).
  • an engagement groove (8) presents a cross section of variable dimension along a radial direction and/or along an angular direction relative to said common axial axis (XX), preferentially variable in a substantially progressive manner.
  • the capsule (1) may adjust its position, in particular rotating around its axial axis (XX), so that as the number of fixation elements provided in an extraction device progressively engage in at least part of a given number of engagement grooves (8), or of zones of different radial dimension (l 8 ), it results in an increasing alignment of engagement between the fixation elements (9) and the engagement grooves (8) along a given circumferential alignment (A).
  • Figure 4 presents a third set of embodiments of capsules (1, 1') according to the invention, presenting engagement grooves (8) disposed along a first circumferential alignment (A) in the proximity of the perimeter edge, and (in the case represented on the right) also along a second circumferential alignment (A) closer to the common axial axis (XX), so that there result zones of fixation engagement at different radial distances.
  • said engagement grooves (8) can present different radial dimensions (l 8 , l' 8 ), so as to provide different fixation engagement possibilities for different capsules (1, 1') of a beverage preparation system.
  • Figure 5 presents representative views of a preferred embodiment of the capsule (1) according to the invention, including side cut view (on the left) and inferior side view of the second construction element (3) (on the right).
  • the capsule (1) presents an assembly connection by mechanic engagement between said construction elements (2, 3), in particular by means of engagement indent element (32) provided along the perimeter zone of the top wall element (31).
  • One of the advantages resulting from a relative position of the engagement groove (8) in the proximity of the perimeter edge of said second construction element (3), in particular in the surface of the top wall element (31) oriented towards the exterior of the capsule (1), is the additional structural reinforcement of the respective perimeter engagement zone between said construction elements (2, 3), as well as the possibility of reducing the wall thickness (e) of the capsule (1), in particular of the top wall element (31).
  • This structural reinforcement further enables considering an assembly of said construction elements (2, 3) by means a positive locking mechanic engagement.
  • the top wall element (31) further presents structural reinforcement elements (34) of said perimeter engagement zone, provided in the proximity thereof.
  • said first construction element (2) is provided as a container of cylindrical or frusto-conic form defining an interior volume of at least 20 cm 3 and a form ratio between width and height comprised between 0,5:1 e 4:1.
  • Figure 6 presents an enlarged view of the detail P01 according to Figure 5 , where said first construction element (2) presents a male engagement element (23) in its top edge configured in wedge-like form or similar, adapted so as to engage under pressure in a indent engagement element (32) configured in a recess form or similar, provided in the inferior side of said second construction element (3).
  • the engagement groove (8) is provided in the proximity of the mechanic assembly engagement of said construction elements (2, 3), thereby structurally reinforcing this engagement zone.
  • said at least one engagement groove (8) is provided at a distance between a respective circumferential alignment (A) and the perimeter edge of said second construction element (3) that is smaller than the double, preferentially similar to a respective bigger radial dimension (l 8 ), so as to structurally reinforce as backpressure element the structural connection between said construction elements (2, 3).
  • said construction elements (2, 3) present a respective assembly engagement zone (23, 33) along at least part of the perimeter, adapted for mutual engagement, preferentially configured as a removable pressure fit locking.
  • said construction elements (2, 3) present engagement zones (23, 33) of variable thickness along a respective perimeter, so that the assembly of respective construction elements (2, 3) provides a substantially tight closure of the perimeter surface relative to oxygen transfer.
  • the sidewall and top elements (22, 31) present a respective wall thickness (e 22 , e 31 ) of at most 1,0 mm, preferentially at most 0,5 mm.
  • Figure 7 presents another embodiment of an assembly engagement of a capsule (1) according to the invention, in an enlarged view of detail P01 similar to Figure 6 .
  • said second construction element (3) presents a plurality of structural reinforcement elements (34) disposed between the engagement elements (23, 32) and the engagement groove (8) of the capsule (1), in the proximity of the perimeter edge and configured so as to engage by means of pressure engagement with a sidewall element (22) of said first construction element (2).
  • Figure 8 presents a capsule (1) according to the invention disposed between the actuation parts (6, 7) of an extraction device (5) in two successive conditions - an open condition on the left and a closed condition on the right - comprised in a beverage preparation machine (not represented), and thereby forming a system for preparing beverages according to the invention.
  • the extraction device (5) and the beverage preparation machine are not represented in detail given that they do not include other elements relevant for the object of the present invention and are known in their main aspects by the expert in the field.
  • the actuation part (6) adapted for injection of a pressurized fluid flow presents at least one fixation element (9) provided as a projection that develops along a respective fixation circumferential alignment (B) of similar diameter to that of the circumferential alignment (A) - as it can be better observed in Figures 9 and 10 -, so as to engage with at least one engagement groove (8) provided on said second construction element (3) of said capsule (1) thereby fixating the latter against the possibility of rotation around an axial axis (XX) thereof.
  • the beverage preparation system according to the invention includes a plurality of beverage preparation machines comprising extraction devices (5) presenting fixation elements (9) that are substantially similar or that correspond to respective different configurations of the engagement grooves (8) of different capsules (1, 1').
