Definitions

  • TITLE DEVICE FOR EXPELLING USED PREPACKAGED CAPSULES FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE MACHINES
  • the present invention concerns espresso coffee machines and in particular concerns espresso coffee machines which use prepackaged capsules of coffee powder; even more particularly it concerns a device for expelling used prepackaged capsules.
  • the document EP-B- 1095605 describes a device for expelling a coffee powder capsule of a coffee machine, comprising two parts which form a receiving seat for the capsule and one of which is mounted so as to be able to pivot with respect to the other one; operation of the movable part allows operation of an expulsion device joined to the fixed part, by means of co-operation of an actuating arm integral with the said movable part.
  • a device of this type which is in theory applicable to various forms of capsules, in practice is greatly conditioned during use by various factors; firstly the capsule must be seated in a suitable manner between the fixed part and the movable part so that the latter is able to pivot easily ensuring closing of the receiving seat and therefore the quality of extraction of the coffee infusion and thus preferably must have a certain symmetry with respect to its middle plane. Secondly, it must have a fairly small height so that expulsion is really efficient and so that the lever arm necessary for raising it and expelling it is not too great.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for expelling used prepackaged capsules from a coffee machine which is suitable in principle for a wide range of prepackaged capsules and which allows expulsion thereof in a manner substantially independent of their shape.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a device for expelling prepackaged capsules of coffee powder from a coffee machine, said machine comprising two parts co-operating with each other so as to define the receiving seat for said prepackaged capsule of coffee powder and possessing a relative movement with respect to each other, there being defined a first part inside which said capsule is arranged and a second part intended to engage with the said first part so as to perform extraction; said device comprises an ejection member co-operating with the lateral outside edge of said capsule, connected pivotably to said first part of the receiving seat for said capsule and provided with actuating means mechanically associated with said second part, said ejection member being able to pivot with respect to said first part from a position substantially parallel to the transverse middle plane thereof into a position corresponding to the falling plane of said capsule, said falling plane being the plane which is inclined with respect to the transverse middle plane of said first part and which allows positioning of the centre of gravity of said capsule so that the latter falls outside of said first part.
  • the middle transverse plane of said first part is substantially horizontal and said falling plane is inclined by at least 90°, preferably by a value ranging between 90° and 135° with respect to said middle transverse plane of said first part.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic side elevation view, with parts sectioned, of a machine provided with an expulsion device according to the present invention.
  • FIGS 2 to 5 show the following operating steps of the machine shown in Figure 1.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically a machine provided with the device according to the present invention
  • 1 denotes the infusion chamber, comprising a cavity 101 inside which the prepackaged capsule of coffee powder 20 is inserted, the bottom of the said cavity 101 being provided with a channel 1 1 1 for dispensing the coffee infusion.
  • the outgoing edge of the cavity 101 has, around it, an annular seat 131 inside which the expulsion ring 201 is arranged, the flange 21 projecting radially from the capsule 20 resting thereon.
  • the said ring 201 is provided with a radial tail-piece 211 to which there is connected, in a rigidly angled manner, the arm 221 which is pivotably hinged on the infusion chamber by means of the pin 231 and which, at the opposite end, has a pin 241.
  • the cavity 101 of the infusion chamber 1 has an inclined receiving wall 121 along the outgoing edge in the vicinity of the tail-piece 21 1 of the expulsion ring 201.
  • the pin 241 of the arm 221 is inserted inside the curved groove 413 formed in the fork 403 situated at one end of the lever 3.
  • the lever is connected, by means of an eyelet 423, to a spring 503 which at the opposite end is connected to an eyelet 13 fastened to the frame 10 of the coffee machine.
  • the lever 3 has, formed therein, the passage 303 which is closed off by the flange 223 of the closing flap 203 pivoting with respect to the lever 3 on which it is hinged by means of the pin 213 and provided with a flange 233 angled at 90° with respect to the flange 223.
  • the free end of the flange 233 of the closing flap 203 is connected to a spring 243 fixed to an eyelet 253 arranged on the lever 3, in the vicinity of the end of the said lever 3 connected to the lug 12 projecting from the frame 10 of the machine by means of the pin 103.
  • the infusion chamber has, arranged above it, the head 2 for dispensing hot water under pressure, provided with a channel 102 and a dispensing spray piece 1 12: the said head is connected, via an end portion 202, to a lug 1 1 projecting from the frame 10 of the machine, by means of a pin 212, the end portion 202 having projecting radially therefrom a rod 302 provided at its free end with a pin 312.
  • the capsule When the lever 3 reaches its maximum inclination, as shown in Figure 3, the capsule is situated in a position so that its centre of gravity is arranged in such a way that the capsule itself can no longer fall towards the inside of the cavity 101.
  • the expulsion ring 201 has reached the falling plane of the capsule, namely that inclined plan beyond which the capsule is obliged to fall outside the position from which it was removed.
  • the receiving wall 121 of the cavity 101 favours the expulsion of the capsule, guiding the exit thereof outside of the said cavity 101.
  • the device thus conceived is extremely efficient and is suitable for the expulsion of prepackaged capsules which also have very widely varying shapes; it is also very compact from the point of view of its dimensions and therefore influences in a fairly limited manner the general design of the machine, as well as being relatively simple and substantially inexpensive to produce.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif destiné à éjecter des capsules préconditionnées de poudre de café à partir d'une machine à café. Cette machine comprend deux parties (1, 2) coopérant entre elles de sorte à définir un siège de réception (101) destiné à une capsule préconditionnée (20) de poudre à café, et pouvant se déplacer de manière relative l'une par rapport à l'autre. Une première partie (1) est définie à l'intérieur de chaque capsule et est agencée de sorte à s'emboîter avec une seconde partie (2) pour effectuer une extraction. Le dispositif de l'invention comprend un élément d'éjection (201) coopérant avec le bord extérieur latéral (21) de la capsule (20) relié pivotant par un moyen approprié (211, 221) à la première partie (1) du siège de réception (101) destiné à la capsule (20) et doté d'un moyen d'actionnement (3, 403, 221) mécaniquement associé à la seconde partie (2). L'élément d'éjection (201) peut pivoter par rapport à la première partie (1), d'une position sensiblement parallèle au plan médian transversal de celle-ci, à une position correspondant au plan de chute de la capsule (20). Le plan de chute est le plan qui est incliné par rapport au plan média transversal de la première partie (1) et qui permet le positionnement du centre de gravité de la capsule (20), de sorte que celle-ci chute à l'extérieur de la première partie (1).
