Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for adjusting the degree of grinding of a grinder for coffee beans according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a degree of grinding adjustment of a grinder.
  • Grinders for coffee beans are usually disc grinders or cone grinders. Both types of grinder consist of two grinding disks, one of which is fixed and the other is driven. To set a grinding degree in such grinders, e.g. the distance between the two grinding tools is set manually or via an electrical adjustment device.
  • the invention therefore has the task of improving a grinding degree setting arrangement of a grinder of a coffee grinder.
  • the invention solves this problem by a method for adjusting the degree of grinding of a grinder with the feature of claim 1 and by means of a degree of grinding adjustment with the feature of claim 3.
  • a method according to the invention for adjusting the grinding degree of at least one grinder for grinding coffee beans is characterized in that adjusting the grinding degree of the at least one grinder is carried out by means of a remote control unit arranged locally separated from the at least one grinder via a transmission path.
  • a setting of the grinding degree by means of telemetric remote access by the remote control unit is advantageously possible in order to record current measured values of the grinding degree setting device.
  • the method can be carried out by means of a grinding degree setting arrangement which comprises the grinder and its grinding degree setting device. It also has the remote control unit.
  • a particular advantage is that one or more grinders can be set centrally to the desired (e.g. identical) grinding degrees and thus comparable product settings to achieve defined quality standards for several coffee machines (e.g. for so-called chain customers) by setting the grinders using the remote control unit .
  • the at least one grinder can also be a grinder of a coffee grinder, a coffee machine or a stand-alone coffee machine.
  • Figure 1 a schematic view of a Mahlgradeinstel l arrangement according to the invention with a front view in section of a principle of a grinder for grinding coffee beans;
  • Figure 2 a schematic view of the Mahlgradeinstella arrangement according to the invention with several coffee machines.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a Mahlgradeinstella arrangement 1 according to the invention with a front view in section of a principle of a grinder 2 for grinding coffee beans 7 is shown.
  • 2 shows a schematic view of the grinding degree setting arrangement 1 according to the invention with several coffee machines K1, K2, K3, Kn.
  • the grinding degree setting arrangement 1 comprises at least one grinder 2 of a coffee grinder or coffee machine K1, K2, K3, Kn and a remote control unit 10.
  • the grinding degree setting arrangement 1 can also grind several coffee machines, each with at least one grinder 2. This is illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the grinder 2 here comprises a first grinding disk 3 and a second grinding disk 4 and a drive unit 6.
  • the second grinding disk 4 is driven by the drive unit 6, the first grinding disk 3 being stationary.
  • both grinding disks 3, 4 or the first grinding disk 3 can also be driven.
  • the grinder 2 also has at least one degree of grinding adjustment device 5.
  • the grinding degree setting device 5 adjusts a grinding degree of the grinder.
  • the grinding degree setting device 5 can act on the first grinding disk 3 and change a setting of a distance between the first grinding disk 3 and the second grinding disk 4.
  • the action of force on the grinding disc 3, 4 to be adjusted can also be changed to adjust the grinding degree.
  • Other designs are also possible, but they will not be considered further here.
  • the grinding degree setting device 5 can also act on the second rotatable grinding disk 4 or on both grinding disks 3, 4.
  • the grinding degree setting device 5 can, for example, be driven by an electric motor by a stepping motor or servomotor which is controlled by a control unit 8.
  • the control unit 8 also controls an electric drive of the drive unit 6.
  • the remote control unit 10 communicates here with the control unit 8 and with the grinding degree setting device 5 connected to it.
  • the grinding degree setting device 5 can also have its own control unit (not shown).
  • the remote control unit 10 is coupled to the control unit 8 via a transmission link 11.
  • the transmission path 11 can be wired or wireless, e.g. radio, infrared, ultrasound, Internet, WLAN, LAN, etc. It is also conceivable that the remote control unit 10 is a smartphone.
  • the grinder 2 can also have a sensor device 9 which determines a current setting value of the grinding degree setting device 5 and transmits it to the control unit 8, which in turn can also transmit this value to the remote control unit 10.
  • This enables remote measurement, i.e. telemetric measurement of the respective current setting value of the grinding degree setting device 5 of the grinder 2 associated with a coffee machine K1, K2, K3, Kn.
  • the value determined in this way can be used for other, different purposes, e.g. statistics, overview, regulations, etc.
  • telemetric access is to be understood here as meaning that the remote control unit 10 sends data for setting the grinding degree setting device 5 to the control unit 8 of the grinder 2 via the transmission path 11.
  • data e.g. measured values of the settings of the grinding degree setting device 5
  • a grinding degree setting arrangement 1 is shown with three coffee machines K1, K2, K3.
  • the reference symbol Kn is intended to mean that further coffee machines Kn can also be assigned to the grinding degree setting arrangement 1.
  • the coffee machine K1 has a grinder 2, whereas the coffee machine K2 comprises three grinders 2-1, 2-2, 2-3.
  • the coffee machine K3 contains two grinders 2-1, 2-2. Of course, more grinders 2 than shown can be assigned to the respective coffee machine K1, K2, K3.
  • Each coffee machine K1, K2, K3 has a control unit 8 here. This allows a central setting of individual or multiple grinders 2, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 to desired (e.g. identical) grinding degrees and thus comparable product settings to achieve defined quality standards of several coffee machines K1, K2, K3, Kn (e.g. with so-called chain customers) by controlling the grinders 2, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 via the telemetric access by means of the remote control unit 10.
  • the grinding degree setting arrangement 1 can also have a so-called stand-alone coffee grinder with a grinder 2.
  • the associated control unit 8 can be part of the grinder 2.
