Fig. 2
eine Getränkekapsel mit Innenkapsel im axialen Schnitt.
Two exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and are described in more detail below. Show it
1
a beverage capsule without inner capsule in axial section,
2
a beverage capsule with inner capsule in axial section.

Die erfindungsgemäße rotationssymmetrische Getränkekapsel 1 ist als Portionskapsel dazu vorgesehen, in einer Getränkevorrichtung insbesondere einer Kaffee- oder Teemaschine eingesetzt zu werden, um ein Getränk insbesondere Kaffee oder Tee aus einem Substrat, Granulat oder Pulver zu schaffen, das sich innerhalb der Kapsel befindet. Die Portionskapsel 1 weist einen Innenraum als Substratkammer 2 auf, in der sich das Substrat, Granulat oder Pulver befindet und der von der topfförmigen Kapsel 1 umschlossen ist. Die Kapsel 1 ist zu einer Seite, in diesem Fall dem Einlassende 3 geöffnet, wobei diese Öffnung durch einen Film oder eine Folie 4 geschlossen ist, die auf dem flanschförmigen Rand 5 der Öffnung aufgeheftet ist, so dass die Öffnung sicher verschlossen ist. Nach einem Durchstechen des Films/der Folie 4 durch ein Rohr insbesondere eine Lanze 6 gelangt durch das Rohr/die Lanze die Flüssigkeit insbesondere heißes oder kaltes Wasser unter Druck in den Innenraum der Kapsel.The rotationally symmetrical beverage capsule 1 according to the invention is intended as a portion capsule to be used in a beverage device, in particular a coffee or tea machine, in order to create a beverage, in particular coffee or tea, from a substrate, granulate or powder located inside the capsule. The portion capsule 1 has an interior as a substrate chamber 2 in which the substrate, granulate or powder is located and which is enclosed by the pot-shaped capsule 1 . The capsule 1 is open to one side, in this case the inlet end 3, which opening is closed by a film or foil 4 stapled to the flange-shaped rim 5 of the opening so that the opening is securely closed. After the film/foil 4 has been pierced by a tube, in particular a lance 6, the liquid, in particular hot or cold water, passes through the tube/lance under pressure into the interior of the capsule.

Innerhalb des Innenraums 2 der Kapsel 1 ist eine Lochplatte 7 parallel zum Kapselboden 8 und parallel zur oberen Abdeckfolie 4 befestigt, die den Innenraum in einen Oberraum A und einen Unterraum B trennt. In den Oberraum A gelangt das Wasser durch die Lanze 6 und über die Löcher in der Lochplatte 7 fließt das Wasser in den das Getränke-Substrat speichernden Unterraum B bzw. in die Substratkammer 2. Die Löcher sind in der Lochplatte 7 in regelmäßigen Abständen angeordnet, so dass das Wasser im Substrat gleichmäßig verteilt wird.Inside the interior 2 of the capsule 1, a perforated plate 7 is fastened parallel to the capsule floor 8 and parallel to the upper cover film 4, which divides the interior into an upper space A and a lower space B. The water reaches the upper space A through the lance 6 and the water flows through the holes in the perforated plate 7 into the lower space B storing the beverage substrate or into the substrate chamber 2. The holes are arranged at regular intervals in the perforated plate 7, so that the water is evenly distributed in the substrate.

Die Kapsel 1 bzw. ihr Außenmantel verjüngt sich zu ihrem Kapselboden 8 hin, der einen Getränkeauslass 9 aufweist. In der Kapsel 1 liegt eine kreisförmige Innenplatte 10 parallel zum Film/Folie 4 ein, die den Raum B bzw. die Substratkammer 2 nach unten verschließt, so dass zwischen der Innenplatte 10 und dem Kapselboden 8 ein Zwischenraum als Auslassraum 11 besteht. Die Innenplatte 10 ist an der Kapselwand 12 klemmend, eingeprellt, angeformt oder angeschweißt gehalten. Im kreisförmigen Außenrand 14 der Innenplatte 10 befinden sich zahlreiche Kerben und/oder Nuten 13, die ein Durchströmen des aus dem Innenraum 2 der Kapsel kommenden Wassers begrenzt zulassen, so dass das unter Druck stehende Wasser den Außenraum 14 umströmt, um zu dem Getränkeauslass 9 im Boden 8 zu gelangen. Hierdurch wird eine Fließverzögerung erreicht und zudem verhindert, dass das Wasser aus der Portionskapsel heraus nachtropft.The capsule 1 or its outer jacket tapers towards its capsule base 8 which has a beverage outlet 9 . In the capsule 1 there is a circular inner plate 10 parallel to the film/foil 4 which closes the space B or the substrate chamber 2 at the bottom so that there is an intermediate space as the outlet space 11 between the inner plate 10 and the capsule base 8 . The inner plate 10 is clamped, pressed in, molded or welded to the capsule wall 12 . There are numerous notches and/or grooves 13 in the circular outer edge 14 of the inner plate 10, which allow the water coming from the interior 2 of the capsule to flow through to a limited extent, so that the pressurized water flows around the outer space 14 to reach the beverage outlet 9 in the to reach floor 8. This delays the flow and also prevents the water from dripping out of the portion capsule.

Auf der Oberseite der Innenplatte 10 und damit auf der Oberseite des Bodens der Substratkammer 2 liegt ein Sieb, Gitter, Netz, Vlies 15, perforierte Folie oder Gewebe (auch als mesh bezeichnet), das in der ausströmenden Getränkeflüssigkeit Schaum erzeugt, der aus der Kapsel austritt. Der äußere ringförmige Rand des Siebes 15 liegt auf dem äußeren ringförmigen Rand 24 des Kapselbodens auf und ist dort vorzugsweise aufgeschweißt oder aufgeklebt.On top of the inner plate 10 and thus on top of the bottom of the substrate chamber 2 is a sieve, grid, net, fleece 15, perforated film or fabric (also referred to as mesh), which generates foam in the outflowing beverage liquid, which from the capsule exit. The outer annular edge of the screen 15 rests on the outer annular edge 24 of the capsule base and is preferably welded or glued on there.

Das Sieb, Gitter, Netz, Vlies 15, perforierte Folie oder Gewebe besteht aus Polypropylen, so dass es in der Kapsel aus Polypropylen anschweißbar ist, und besitzt ein Gewicht von 40 bis 80 Gramm vorzugsweise von 60 Gramm pro m2. Das Sieb, Gitter, Netz, Vlies 15, perforierte Folie oder Gewebe besitzt eine Dicke von 0,2 bis 0,8 mm vorzugsweise von 0,44 mm. Ferner besitzt es eine Luftdurchlässigkeit von 900 bis 1300 L/min/dm2 insbesondere von 1150 L/min/dm2. Das Sieb, Gitter, Netz, Vlies 15, perforierte Folie oder Gewebe hat die Funktion eines Filters, das zum einen dafür sorgt, dass die am Außenrand 24 der Innenplatte 10 befindlichen Nuten oder Kerben 13 nicht verstopfen und dass zusammen mit den Kerben und/der Nuten der Innenplatte 10 durch die Fließverzögerung ein dichter Schaum entsteht. Bei Verwendung eines Vlieses aus Polypropylen-Fasern wurden optimale Schaumergebnisse erreicht.The sieve, grid, net, fleece 15, perforated film or fabric is made of polypropylene so that it can be welded into the polypropylene capsule and has a weight of 40 to 80 grams, preferably 60 grams per m 2 . The sieve, grid, net, fleece 15, perforated film or fabric has a thickness of 0.2 to 0.8 mm, preferably 0.44 mm. Furthermore, it has an air permeability of 900 to 1300 L/min/dm 2 , in particular 1150 L/min/dm 2 . The sieve, grid, mesh, fleece 15, perforated film or fabric has the function of a filter, which on the one hand ensures that the grooves or notches 13 located on the outer edge 24 of the inner plate 10 do not become clogged and that together with the notches and/or Grooves of the inner panel 10 through the flow delay, a dense foam is formed. Optimum foam results were achieved when using a fleece made of polypropylene fibers.
