Definitions

  • the current invention refers to a coffee capsule maker device for domestic use or for a small scale use, which allows preparing coffee in the best conditions with the best quality.
  • the capsules are commercialized in prepared batches and packed many days or weeks before, which requires its packaging in protective atmosphere, and generally, it's made by ground coffee.
  • An example is ES2452215 . This solution makes the device being complicated, no suitable for domestic use and no optimal coffee quality is obtained.
  • the invention consists of a coffee capsule maker, such as the claims.
  • the coffee capsule maker contains a rotating carrousel with at least one capsule hitch that goes through a capsule deposit, a grain coffee deposit with a coffee grinder on the bottom, a capsule cover deposit with a sealing piston possessing an electrical resistance to seal de capsule cover and an extracting window with means for releasing the capsule from the hitch.
  • the deposit part which the carrousel goes through will be on the lower part, for picking up an element or a certain amount of content.
  • content extractor elements to assure a correct quantity extracted (a capsule, a certain amount of coffee, a capsule cover).
  • the coffee capsule maker could contain a panel with at least one pilot and an on/off button, and to this panel it could be added a selecting button for the number of capsules to prepare, and a screen panel.
  • the device housing will be preferably cylindrical and if it is possible removable to facilitate maintenance and cleaning.
  • the principal movable rotating elements could be activated by the same axis with different gears.
  • one of those would be a master gear or a dragging gear to coordinate, activate or permit the function of each different element.
  • the master gear could be made as a disc like the carrousel disc's size and concentric with it on an upper plane, and possessing at least a hole alienable on the master gear rotation, as its axis with the pistons requires, which ones are getting a down drive spring.
  • the gear units will assure that when the capsule carried by the carrousel passes under the correspondent piston, the master gear will have to dispose of a hole. Slightly behind of every hole it will be placed a retraction guide of the pistons.
  • the coffee capsule maker illustrated in those figures contents a device housing (1), which is cylindrical represented for being the design more compact, and possess three deposits (2,3,4): a coffee deposit (2), a prefabricated capsules without cover deposit (3), and a coffee cover deposit (4).
  • the coffee cover deposit (4) can be alternative replaced by an adequate multilayer material roll, from which the coffee cover will be cut and immediately applied on the no covered coffee capsules.
  • Each one of the coffee deposits will have its own top closure or it can be disposed a common closure, like the one illustrated on the figure 1 .
  • the coffee deposit (2) is prepared for grain coffee, that's why it possesses a little coffee grinder (5) on the bottom, like an optional gate between two of them.
  • the coffee will be grinded for any capsule unit and stored immediately within, conserving at maximum the coffee aroma.
  • the coffee capsule maker shall also possess two spring pistons (8, 9), a clamping piston (8) to easily press the coffee within the capsule (optional) before placing and sealing the capsule cover, and a sealing piston (9) to tight the cover on the capsule, and getting through an electric resistance, to produce a partial fusion of the material and the capsule heat sealing.
  • the piston temperature will reach major levels, to cut the capsule cover.
  • the capsule After passing by the sealing piston (9), the capsule will go to an extracting window, which has means to drop the capsule from the hitch (7).
  • Those ones could be a pusher or a ramp capable to force the capsule getting off from the hitch.
  • the hitch (7) will consecutively go through the capsules deposit from where it takes the lower capsule, the grain coffee deposit(2) (we have water below the coffee grinder(5)), the capsule covers deposit (4) with the sealing piston (9) and the extracting window (10).
  • the carrousel (6) and the coffee grinder could have a common axis (11) activated by one or two electric engines (12) and a gear unit (13), generally planetariums, to coordinate the pistons activity (8, 9) and of the others elements with the carrousel(6). This way it could be stopped the grinding coffee (5) rotation precisely when it has to stop recollecting coffee from the coffee deposit.
  • the coffee capsule maker device will disconnect the coffee grinder from the axis (11) when enough coffee is already grinded, generally measured by the elapsed time.
  • the master gear (14) or a dragging gear, which is acting to allow different elements activity.
  • the master gear will have holes (15) and guides (16) to activate pistons (8, 9), to allow its action to the correspondent spring and its retraction.
  • the hole (15) will allow the piston (8, 9) passing through, driven down by the spring, while the guide will retract the piston (8, 9) for its next performance and will allow the master gear to follow its rotation.
  • This master gear (14) also will assure the ground coffee supply of the capsule.
  • the coffee will get out through a nuzzle (17) situated on the coffee deposit base (2), back to the coffee grinder (5), and finally centered within the capsule.
  • This nozzle (17) can be provided by a little shutter (not illustrated).
  • part of this nozzle (17) will correspond to the master gear (14) in such manner that discharge is allowed only when the capsule it is situated on the right position. In the same time it has to be right positioned a hole (15) over the capsule to allow the coffee passing through.
  • the invention will have a control unit (not illustrated) to manage its operation and a button panel, pilots and programming displays and screen panel to program and look out to an accurate operation.
  • a pilot usually LED
  • the pilot to turn on the device may have an intermittence code to sign operational errors, or it could be provided by another button.
  • a screen panel for example LCD
  • will include error messages ("no cover”, “no capsule”, “carrousel locked”, etc.) It could be included other pilots or codes to sign the grinding process, the sealing process...
  • the electronic circuit where the control unit is installed has 20 different positioning sensors of the carrousel and deposits placement. It's preferable the device housing top to be easily removable for cleaning of coffee or plastic remains from heat sealing operation.
  • the device will be connected to an electric plug (not illustrated). Its mechanism and operation can be incorporated on other type of compact coffee devices too.
