Definitions
- the present invention relates to a capsule part for a coffee capsule consisting of the capsule part and a membrane attached thereto according to Claim 1, the coffee capsule being configured to receive roasted and ground coffee and being suitable for preparing an espresso beverage using pressurised hot water in an espresso machine.
- the invention further relates to a coffee capsule according to Claim 6 comprising a capsule part according to the invention.
- Coffee capsules of this type are known in principle, in particular from the portion packs for coffee preparation from Nestlé SA for espresso machines.
- the capsules thereof, as well as compatible products, in principle contain a capsule part which is a substantially frustoconical metal or plastics part, with a conical side wall, a top part integrally formed on the small frustoconical diameter and an outwardly protruding peripheral flange integrally formed on the large frustoconical diameter.
- the peripheral flange thus has a surface on the top part side and an outlet clamping surface opposing the surface on the top part side. Additionally, the peripheral flange has a peripheral external thickened portion as a centring aid and a peripheral welding surface on the outlet clamping surface, onto which a tearable membrane is able to be welded.
- the coffee capsule is located in a so-called brewing chamber which is also of frustoconical shape and which is kept shut by a counterpressure plate.
- the counterpressure plate is provided with puncture teeth or perforation teeth in order to puncture the tearable membrane of the coffee capsule under the action of the pressure built up in the capsule after closing the brewing chamber and thereby to permit the brewed coffee beverage to flow out.
- the counterpressure plate also has outlet openings through which the coffee beverage is able to enter a beverage dispensing channel. In the brewing state, the peripheral flange of the coffee capsule is clamped and centred between the brewing chamber and the counterpressure plate.
- the result of this design is that the seal at the clamping point between the brewing chamber, the peripheral flange of the coffee capsule and the counterpressure plate has to be ensured during operation, as otherwise undesired leakages or bypass flows occur at this point.
- An at least partial seal may naturally already be achieved by a sufficiently high clamping pressure between the brewing chamber and the counterpressure plate.
- various other measures may be provided to achieve the desired seal, either on the coffee capsule or on the espresso machine itself.
- the sealing means on the espresso machine may, for example, consist in the pressure chamber and/or the counterpressure plate being able to be provided with sealing rings or similarly acting means.
- a drawback with these solutions is that they wear relatively rapidly or become untight due to soiling.
- the sealing means are preferably used on the coffee capsules themselves, they have the drawback that they increase the cost of producing the capsules.
- the known and currently marketed Nespresso coffee capsules made of aluminium from Nestlé however, have no additional and/or separately and locally applied sealing elements in the projection region of the flange. A sufficient seal in this case is produced by other means about which no further details will be provided here as the solution has practically no common features with the present invention (in any case, the capsule according to the invention is a capsule made substantially from plastics material and is not a capsule made of aluminium).
- EP-1 654 966 reveals a solution in which, for example, rubber-elastic seals are attached to the surface of the flange on the top part side in order to achieve the desired seal at least in this partial region.
- the capsules thus produced naturally become more expensive as additional materials and operations are required during production.
- Nespresso-compatible coffee capsules are increasingly used where the capsules and the brewing chamber do not coincide exactly in size or in shape. This means that undesired bypass paths might occur and that, due to the pressure difference which is to be expected in principle between the capsule inlet and capsule outlet, said bypass paths have the effect of increasing the problem.
- Nespresso-compatible coffee capsules are also increasingly made of plastics material, naturally also the problem of the dimensional stability of the capsules themselves is intensified, as said capsules are still able to be deformed further when welding-on or attaching the membrane, for example.
- the production tolerances of the brewing chamber closing device which are in any case present and the appearance of wear and soiling in the sealing region, i.e. between the brewing chamber and the counterpressure plate closing the brewing chamber. All these tolerances have to be taken up by a suitable design of the coffee capsule and namely such that, even with different types of design of the frustoconical part of the capsule part, a seal which is as efficient as possible is achieved in the problem area described.
- the object of the invention to provide a novel design for a capsule part of a coffee capsule which has the greatest possible sealing effect, with radial and axial tolerance compensation for a brewing chamber-closing device of an espresso machine.
- the solution is that a radially extending bellows is present between the welding surface thereof which is arranged on the inside and the peripheral external thickened portion, said bellows being able to be plastically and/or elastically deformed and having a sealing effect with radial and axial tolerance compensation for a brewing chamber-closing device of the espresso machine.
- a sealing means which is suitable for a capsule is provided, said sealing means not requiring additional and/or separate and locally applied sealing elements in the projection region of the flange and, due to its capacity for high radial and axial tolerance compensation, being suitable for a plurality of different capsule designs made of plastics material.
- a cost advantage is thus also achieved due to the simple production.
- a radially extending bellows has an improved capacity for radial and axial tolerance compensation relative to the sealing action as namely a number of multiple sealing points may be formed on the sealing edges, said multiple sealing points being repeated concentrically and thus increasing in their effect and dealing much more effectively with the local conditions between the brewing chamber and the counterpressure plate than the previous usual flange designs which have much less clearance for plastic and/or elastic deformability.
- the radially extending bellows itself may naturally also be designed differently according to requirements. Thus it may have a different number of sealing edges and the sealing edges in turn may be produced from cross sections of, for example, zig-zag shaped or wave-shaped design or even a design consisting of a mixture of shapes.
- the bellows may be arranged relative to the welding surface with different axial offsets.
- Fig. 1 shows a side view of a capsule part 1 according to the invention of a coffee capsule 2 with a flange 3.
- the capsule part 1 in this case is a substantially frustoconical plastics part with a conical side wall 4.
- the capsule part 1 has a top part 5 integrally formed on the small frustoconical diameter, whilst the outwardly protruding and peripheral flange 3 is integrally formed on the large frustoconical diameter.
- the partial region A marked with a circle is shown in more detail in Figure 2 .
- the complete coffee capsule 2 consists of the capsule part 1 and the membrane 12 attached thereto.
- Fig. 2 shows a partial section in the flange region of a capsule part 1 according to Fig. 1 .
- the partial region A marked in Fig. 1 is shown.
- the view shows the arrangement of the coffee capsule 2 between a brewing chamber 6 and a counterpressure plate 7 during a brewing process in an espresso machine.
- a brewing chamber closing device (not shown) of the espresso machine ensures that the brewing chamber 6 and the counterpressure plate 7 during the brewing process are mutually pressed together by compressive forces F.
- peripheral flange 3 has a surface 8 on the top part side and an outlet clamping surface 9 opposing the surface 8 on the top part side. Moreover, the peripheral flange 3 has a peripheral external thickened portion 10 which serves for centring the coffee capsule 2. Additionally, the outlet clamping surface 9 has an internally arranged peripheral welding surface 11 onto which a tearable membrane 12 is able to be welded.
- the width of the welding surface 11 is intended to be at least double the size of the wall thickness of the conical side walls 4 of the capsule part 1.
- a radially extending bellows 13 is present between the welding surface 11 and the peripheral external thickened portion 10, said bellows being able to be plastically and/or elastically deformed and having a sealing effect with radial and axial tolerance compensation for the brewing chamber-closing device of the espresso machine.
- the radially extending bellows 13 has a zig-zag shaped cross section.
- Other cross sections extending in principle in a wave-shaped manner or even a mixture of shapes of different types of cross section are naturally also possible (for example combinations of zig-zag shaped and wave-shaped paths).
- the bellows 13 has so-called sealing edges 14.
- said sealing edges 14 form the contact points of the surface 8 on the top side and the outlet clamping surface 9 of the flange 3 relative to the brewing chamber 6 and relative to the counterpressure plate 7 and thus they act as multiple sealing points. In the present exemplary embodiment, therefore, at least two alternately opposing sealing edges 14 extending concentrically are obtained.
- the bellows 13 may also have a wave-shaped cross section.
- wave-shaped cross sections it is not possible to speak of actual edges, the contact points at the minimum and maximum points of these shapes naturally also have the effect of multiple sealing points and thus are also denoted the same, i.e. also as sealing edges.
- the counterpressure plate 7 is provided with puncture teeth or perforation teeth 15. Under the pressure of the water flowing into the capsule 2, the tearable membrane 12 of the coffee capsule is deformed and is pressed onto the counterpressure plate 7. At the same time, it is punctured by the perforation teeth 15 and thus it is possible for the brewed coffee beverage to flow out.
- the counterpressure plate 7 also has outlet openings 16 through which the coffee beverage is able to enter a beverage dispensing channel (not shown).
- Fig. 3 finally shows a further alternative offset arrangement of the bellows 13 relative to the welding surface 11.
- the bellows 13 has a different axial offset relative to the welding surface 11.
- the imaginary centre line 17 of the bellows 13 is located in a plane above the plane in which the welding surface 11 is located whilst in Fig. 3 the imaginary centre line and/or centre plane is located in the plane of the welding surface 11.
- a radially extending bellows designed according to the invention and which is able to be plastically and/or elastically deformed has a markedly improved capacity for high radial and axial tolerance compensation for a plurality of different capsule designs, as the formation of multiple sealing points which has been described above will prove effective even if the bearing surfaces and/or contact surfaces on the brewing chamber and on the counterpressure plate already have stuck-on deposits.
