Description
Die Erfindung betrifft das Gebiet der Systeme zum Zubereiten von Getränken mittels in eine Getränkekapsel eingeführter Flüssigkeit. Sie betrifft insbesondere eine Portionenkapsel, die eine lösliche Nahrungsmittelsubstanz enthält, aus welcher durch Einspritzen von Wasser ein Getränk oder Getränkebestandteil zubereitet werden kann.The invention relates to the field of systems for preparing beverages by means of liquid introduced into a beverage capsule. More particularly, it relates to a portion capsule containing a soluble food substance from which a beverage or beverage ingredient can be prepared by injecting water.
Unter den Systemen zum Zubereiten von Getränken sind die sogenannten Kaffeekapselsysteme (es gibt sie auch in Varianten zur Zubereitung von Tee) bekannt, bei denen im Allgemeinen heisses Wasser meist unter Druck in eine Kapsel eingeführt wird, um ein Getränk zuzubereiten, beispielsweise durch Extraktion. Es sind auch Kapseln bekannt, die beispielsweise mit Kaffeekapselsystemen kompatibel sind, die aber anstatt eines Extraktionsguts eine lösliche Substanz enthalten, zum Beispiel Milchpulver, um einen Getränkebestandteil oder ein Getränk zuzubereiten.Among the systems for preparing beverages are the so-called coffee capsule systems (they are also available in variants for the preparation of tea) in which generally hot water is usually introduced under pressure into a capsule to prepare a beverage, for example by extraction. Capsules are also known which are compatible, for example, with coffee capsule systems but which contain a soluble substance instead of an extractive material, for example milk powder to prepare a beverage ingredient or beverage.
Bei Kapseln mit löslichem Inhalt kann im Gegensatz zu mit Extraktionsgut gefüllten Kapseln nicht auf einfache Art im Kapselinnem ein Druck aufgebaut werden, der während des ganzen Zubereitungsprozesses über das in der Kapsel enthaltene Gut hinweg abfällt und der dafür sorgt, dass der Kapselinhalt gut mit der eingeführten Flüssigkeit getränkt werden kann. Um für eine gute Durchmischung und ein gleichmässiges Auflösen des Kapselinhaltes zu sorgen, müssen andere Massnahmen getroffen werden.In the case of capsules with soluble contents, in contrast to capsules filled with extraction material, it is not easy to build up a pressure in the capsule interior which drops over the product contained in the capsule throughout the preparation process and which ensures that the contents of the capsule are well integrated with the capsule Liquid can be soaked. In order to ensure a good mixing and a uniform dissolving of the capsule contents, other measures must be taken.
In der
Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Portionenkapsel mit einer löslichen Substanz zu schaffen, welche ein gutes und möglichst weit gehendes Auflösen der Substanz ermöglicht, wenn Wasser eingespritzt wird.It is an object of the present invention to provide a portion capsule with a soluble substance which allows a good and as far as possible dissolution of the substance when water is injected.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die Kapsel wie sie in den Patentansprüchen definiert ist.This object is achieved by the capsule as defined in the patent claims.
Die Kapsel gemäss einem Aspekt der Erfindung bildet einen äusseren Becher mit Deckel und mit einer im Innern des Bechers ausgebildeten Kammer mit der löslichen Substanz. Eine Kapsel-Mittelachse verläuft zwischen Deckel und Becherboden, also beispielsweise im Wesentlichen senkrecht zum Deckel. Die Becher und Deckel können im Wesentlichen um die Mittelachse drehsymmetrisch sein, wobei andere, bspw. kubische, Kapselformen nicht ausgeschlossen sind. Die Kapsel weist ein Einspritzelement auf, welches die Kammer zur Deckelseite oder zur Becherbodenseite hin begrenzt und welches mindestens eine Einspritzöffnung aufweist, die so ausgebildet ist, dass durch sie hindurch geförderte Flüssigkeit in einem Strahl in die Kammer eingespritzt wird, der in einer Ebene durch die Mittelachse und in einem Winkel zur Mittelachse (d.h. nicht parallel zu dieser) verläuft.The capsule according to one aspect of the invention forms an outer cup with lid and with a chamber formed in the interior of the cup with the soluble substance. A capsule central axis extends between the lid and cup base, that is, for example, substantially perpendicular to the lid. The cups and lids may be substantially rotationally symmetric about the central axis, with other, for example, cubic, capsule shapes not being excluded. The capsule has an injection element, which the chamber to the cover side or the Cup bottom side limited and which has at least one injection port which is formed so that through it conveyed liquid is injected in a jet in the chamber, in a plane through the central axis and at an angle to the central axis (ie not parallel to this) runs.
Insbesondere kann die Einspritzöffnung nahe der Mittelachse (bspw. um nicht mehr als 20% des senkrecht zur Mittelachse gemessenen Kapseldurchmessers auf Höhe der betreffenden Einspritzöffnung) angeordnet sein und/oder so ausgebildet sein, dass der Strahl in der genannten Ebene zur Mittelachse hin verläuft, dass also zur Mitte hin eingespritzt wird.In particular, the injection opening can be arranged near the central axis (for example by not more than 20% of the capsule diameter measured perpendicularly to the central axis at the level of the relevant injection opening) and / or can be designed such that the jet runs in the plane to the central axis So injected to the middle.
Insbesondere können mehrere solcher Einspritzöffnungen vorhanden sein, die insbesondere alle die genannte Bedingung erfüllen, dass der durch sie erzeugte Strahl jeweils in einer durch die Mittelachse verlaufenden Ebene und in einem Winkel zur Mittelachse verläuft. Dadurch können also beim Einbringen der Flüssigkeit mehrere Flüssigkeitsstrahlen voneinander weg oder zueinander hin gerichtet sein.In particular, a plurality of such injection openings may be present, which fulfill in particular all the said condition that the jet generated by them each extends in a plane passing through the central axis and at an angle to the central axis. As a result, when the liquid is introduced, a plurality of liquid jets can be directed away from one another or toward one another.
Indem die Strahlrichtungen verteilt sind - bspw. gleichmässig - wird nicht nur eine besonders gute Durchmischung erreicht. Die Kapsel ist dann auch für horizontale Getränkezubereitungsmodule geeignet (d.h. Module, in denen die Kapsel mit der Mittelachse ungefähr parallel zur Horizontalen geführt wird), und zwar unabhängig von der Orientierung der Kapsel um ihre Mittelachse, da ausgeschlossen werden kann, dass sich bspw. nur ein Strahl nach unten oder nur ein Strahl nach oben ergibt und so Bereiche nicht mit dem Wasser in Berührung kommen.By the beam directions are distributed - for example, evenly - not only a particularly good mixing is achieved. The capsule is then also suitable for horizontal beverage preparation modules (ie modules in which the capsule is guided with the central axis approximately parallel to the horizontal), regardless of the orientation of the capsule about its central axis, since it can be ruled out that, for example, only a jet down or just a jet upwards and so areas do not come into contact with the water.
Aufgrund des erfindungsgemässen Vorgehens entsteht nicht wie im Stand der Technik ein im Wesentlichen laminarer Wirbel, sondern es entsteht eine turbulente Strömung im Innern der Kapsel. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass dadurch eine besonders gute Durchmischung zwischen Flüssigkeit und löslicher Substanz bewirkt werden kann. Ganz besonders effizient wirkt das Vorgehen, wenn mehrere Einspritzöffnungen vorhanden sind, insbesondere wenn diese in unterschiedliche Richtungen gerichtet sind.As a result of the procedure according to the invention, a substantially laminar vortex does not arise, as in the prior art, but a turbulent flow arises inside the capsule. It has been found that a particularly good mixing between liquid and soluble substance can be effected thereby. The procedure is particularly efficient if there are several injection openings, especially if they are directed in different directions.
In einer Gruppe von Ausführungsformen ist das Einspritzelement als vom Becher und vom Deckel separates Element ausgebildet, so dass sich zwischen Kapseldeckel und Einspritzelement oder alternativ zwischen Kapselboden und Einspritzelement ein Einspritzraum bildet. Beispielsweise kann ein nach aussen dichter Deckel vorhanden sein, der zum Einbringen der Flüssigkeit anstechbar sein kann, wie das an sich von Getränkezubereitungskapseln her bekannt ist.In one group of embodiments, the injection element is designed as a separate element from the cup and the lid, so that an injection space is formed between the capsule lid and the injection element or alternatively between the capsule bottom and the injection element. For example, an outwardly sealed lid can be present, which can be pierced for introducing the liquid, as is known per se from beverage preparation capsules ago.
Es ist aber als Alternative zur Ausgestaltung des Einspritzelements als separates Element nicht ausgeschlossen, dass das Einspritzelement durch den Deckel bzw. den Becherboden gebildet wird.However, it is not excluded as an alternative to the configuration of the injection element as a separate element that the injection element is formed by the lid or the cup bottom.
Auch das Ausleiten des Getränks kann ergänzend oder alternativ ein Anstechen - auf der entsprechend gegenüberliegenden Seite - voraussetzen.Also, the discharge of the drink may additionally or alternatively a piercing - on the corresponding opposite side - assume.
Die Kammer kann optional auch zur anderen Seite hin - also zum Boden bzw. Deckel hin - ein vom Becher und vom Deckel separates Siebelement aufweisen, welches die Kammer zur dem Einspritzelement gegenüberliegenden Seite hin begrenzt.The chamber may optionally also have towards the other side - ie towards the bottom or lid - a separate from the cup and the lid screen element which limits the chamber to the injection element opposite side.
Der Winkel des Strahles zur Mittelachse kann insbesondere plusminus 63°-68° betragen, beispielsweise etwa 65°, 66° oder 67°. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass bei solchen Winkeln - der Bereich kann als 45°-75° definiert werden, speziell 55° bis 70° - die Durchmischungswirkung besonders gut ist.In particular, the angle of the beam to the central axis may be plus or minus 63 ° -68 °, for example about 65 °, 66 ° or 67 °. It has been found that at such angles - the range can be defined as 45 ° -75 °, especially 55 ° to 70 ° - the mixing effect is particularly good.
Die Einspritzöffnungen sind im Allgemeinen klein, ihr Durchmesser ist beispielsweise zwischen 0.5 mm und 2 mm, insbesondere ca. 1 mm, so dass sich mit den bei Getränkezubereitungsmaschinen üblichen Einspritzdrücken von bspw. 5-15 bar ein satter Strahl in die gewünschte Richtung ergibt.The injection openings are generally small, for example, their diameter is between 0.5 mm and 2 mm, in particular about 1 mm, so that with the customary in beverage preparation machines injection pressures of, for example. 5-15 bar results in a rich beam in the desired direction.
