Definitions

  • the invention relates to a capsule according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such capsules are used today in different forms for the preparation of a beverage, in particular coffee or tea in a beverage preparation machine.
  • the capsules fulfill a double function, on the one hand, by protecting the substance they contain from external influences and preserving their aroma, and on the other hand, by interacting with the beverage preparation machine, they also perform a mechanical function for the passage of hot water under high pressure.
  • the capsule is received in a brewing chamber, which is closed pressure-tight for the brewing process.
  • the lid which closes the capsule body, is either also perforated or it tears open in several places due to the build-up of internal pressure, so that the hot beverage can flow out of the brewing chamber.
  • Such a capsule is for example in the WO 2012/080501 described.
  • the WO 2013/076519 A1 describes a capsule made of plastic material for the preparation of a drink with a side wall, a bottom and a lid. In the circumferential area of the base there are recessed zones which connect the base and the side wall to one another.
  • the WO 2012/144885 A1 also describes a closed capsule made of a plastic material with a circumferential collar for fastening the lid, on which a sealing element for sealing the capsule is arranged in a beverage preparation machine.
  • the WO 2012/127233 A2 describes a capsule made of plastic material with a side wall, a bottom and a lid, an inlet opening for liquid being arranged in the bottom of the capsule. This opening is closed by an inlet filter that is glued to the inside of the capsule on the bottom.
  • the US 2011/0033580 A1 also shows a capsule with a circumferential wall, a bottom and a lid to form a closed chamber.
  • the bottom has at least one inlet opening, which is covered on the inside with an inlet filter.
  • the DE 10 2004 056 224 A1 describes a capsule made of plastic, the capsule bottom is provided with a central opening. This is covered with a piece of foil sealed on the inside, which consists of an aluminum foil.
  • a problem with capsules made of plastic material is that when the base is perforated due to the elasticity of the material, the base clings closely to the perforation means, so that the amount of water penetrating per unit of time is less than, for example, with aluminum capsules. It has therefore been shown that it is particularly advantageous to make additional openings in the base during the manufacture of the capsule, which increase the flow rate in the beverage preparation machine. These openings are advantageously slots which are produced without material removal and which are closed in the unpressurized state and assume a type of valve function under the action of pressure.
  • the capsule body itself is already provided with a barrier layer in a manner known per se.
  • Multi-layer plastic films with such a barrier layer are already known.
  • Lids with barrier properties are also known.
  • a membrane with barrier properties for sealing the closed chamber from the opening is arranged on the inside of the base. The membrane is connected to the floor along a connecting zone following the circumference of the floor. In this way, all the openings already made in the base are hermetically sealed, so that the base and the membrane are only pierced by the penetration means in the beverage preparation machine.
  • connection zone The dimensioning of the connection zone is chosen so that a sufficiently firm connection to the floor is guaranteed. It can be particularly expedient if the connection zone includes a central area of the capsule base, at which the membrane is not connected to the base. This unconnected area can serve to unevenness such as To compensate for folds or impressions in the membrane.
  • the openings are at least partially arranged in the central region of the capsule base, on which the membrane is not connected to the base. In this way, the liquid penetrating through the openings in the non-connected Spread the membrane area immediately in all directions so that sufficient flow is maintained.
  • the capsule can be rotationally symmetrical, the connection zone being able to run in the form of a ring.
  • the same principle can also be implemented, for example, in the case of a capsule with a poligonal cross-section with a poligonal capsule base.
  • connection zone has an outside diameter between 14 and 17 mm and an inside diameter between 8 and 11 mm.
  • carrier properties is generally known to those skilled in the field of food packaging.
  • Essential criteria are the oxygen permeability and the water vapor permeability in each case at a specific temperature of, for example, 23 ° C. or 25 ° C.
  • polyethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) is known as a plastic material with excellent barrier properties. This material is used as a barrier layer in laminated films and has permeability values in the range of 0.01 to 1.
  • the oxygen permeability of plastic films is measured according to DIN 53 380. The value for the oxygen permeability results from cm 3 / m 2 xdx bar. Permeability rates apply to the present application, as are already used in deep-drawn plastic capsules for portion coffee.
  • the entire surface of the membrane is connected to the base of the capsule.
  • the openings can also bring about a better flow rate in such a case. This is particularly the case when the penetration means penetrate the bottom of the capsule in the area of the slots.
  • the opening is a slot which is closed in the unpressurized state and which can be expanded under the action of hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical pressure.
  • the individual slot can be straight or curved, or it can also be crossed slots.
  • Advantageous embodiments of slit valves that open under the action of pressure are already known to the person skilled in the art from various fields of technology.
  • a particularly optimal effect is achieved if several openings, preferably at least three openings, are made in the floor. This is due to the fact that the relative position of the capsule to the penetration means is not always predictable in the beverage preparation machine. With at least three openings, however, the risk of an unfavorable relative position is considerably reduced.
  • the bottom particularly advantageously borders on the outer circumference of a stiffening zone which is formed by a plurality of indentations.
  • the base for the passage of the liquid through the chamber in a beverage preparation machine can thus be penetrated with a penetration agent without the capsule body bending.
  • a sufficient resistance on the capsule base is of particular importance in capsule bodies made of plastic material, since this material offers greater resistance to penetration than, for example, aluminum.
  • the indentations mentioned can have inner wall sections which lie on a common circumference, the diameter of the circumference corresponding approximately to the diameter of the membrane. In this way, the membrane is also centered by the inner wall sections, which has a positive effect on the manufacturing process.
  • the membrane consists of an aluminum-based film. This can also be a foil made of an aluminum alloy or a laminate with at least one aluminum layer.
  • the lid for closing the capsule body can also be made from the same film material.
  • Aluminum is known to have excellent properties with regard to the barrier effect against diffusion. For this reason, such films are often used for aroma-tight packaging in the food sector.
  • the capsule body is designed as a deep-drawn part.
  • multilayer plastic films can be processed, which are precisely aligned to the packaging and the use of the capsule.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing a capsule body for a capsule, which has the features in claim 11. It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the openings in the base of the capsule are made in a separate operation after the capsule body has been produced. In this way, the openings can be positioned exactly, which is particularly important for the desired effect.
  • the membrane is then used, the surface configuration of which corresponds approximately to that of the base of the capsule. As already mentioned, the connection takes place along a connection zone following the circumference of the base.
  • the capsule body is manufactured in a deep-drawing process, the bottom preferably being designed as a flat surface.
  • the openings are easier on a flat surface attach as if it was arched.
  • the membrane can also be applied better on a flat floor surface.
  • the opening is formed without material removal by means of an incision in such a way that a slot which closes itself in the idle state is created.
  • the bottom is preferably pierced with a sharp blade.
  • the openings could also be punched out or burned out using laser beams, for example.
  • the membrane is advantageously connected to the floor by heat sealing, the membrane having a correspondingly sealable layer, e.g. can be equipped with a sealing wax.
  • a correspondingly sealable layer e.g. can be equipped with a sealing wax.
  • other connection methods are also conceivable, e.g. glue or weld or press a purely mechanical.
  • the invention also relates to a system comprising a capsule filled with a substance as described above and a beverage preparation machine which has a capsule holder for receiving the capsule, and a device for passing a liquid through the capsule for extracting or dissolving the substance for producing a beverage , wherein the beverage preparation machine has at least one device for penetrating the bottom of the capsule.
  • the arrangement of the opening or the openings in the base of the capsule is adapted to the device for penetrating the base in such a way that at least one penetration means hits at least one opening.
  • an excellent flow rate can be achieved in this way.
  • a capsule 1 known per se consists of an essentially rotationally symmetrical capsule body 2 with a side wall 3 and a bottom 4.
  • the capsule body 2 has the overall shape of a stepped truncated cone, the last truncated cone section 17 having the steepest truncated cone angle to the longitudinal central axis.
  • the bottom 4 runs essentially flat, but may have a slightly concave curvature 25 in the central area for manufacturing reasons.
  • Stiffening ribs 18 are arranged around the side wall 3 in a regular angular division.
  • a circumferential flange 19 serves, on the one hand, for sealing in the beverage preparation machine and, on the other hand, for fastening a lid 5.
  • openings 8 are arranged in the form of slots in the bottom, which penetrate the bottom completely, but are closed in the idle state due to the material elasticity.
  • four slots are arranged at an angle of 90 ° each.
  • FIGS 3 to 5 show an empty capsule body 2 in the state before filling with a substance and before closing the capsule opening with the lid 5 for reasons of better clarity Figure 3 can be seen, the capsule bottom is covered on the inside with a membrane 9.
  • the connecting zone 10, at which the membrane is firmly connected to the bottom, is indicated with an interrupted circular line. This connection zone follows the circumference of the floor and is circular in shape here.
  • each indentation is provided with an inner wall section 15 which in cross section runs approximately parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the capsule.
  • the inner wall sections 15 lie on a common circumferential circle which corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the membrane 9.
  • Each indentation 14 also has over two side wall sections 16, the spacing of which widens slightly here towards the floor 4. In this way, particularly good stability is achieved against external force on the capsule base.
  • FIG 6 shows in a simplified representation the situation after the penetration of the capsule base 4 by a penetration means 12 in a beverage preparation machine.
  • the membrane 9 is firmly connected to the capsule base 4 at an annular connection zone 10.
  • This membrane consists of an aroma-tight film with barrier properties, for example made of aluminum.
  • the capsule body 2 made of plastic material also has such an aroma-tight barrier layer, which is not shown in the drawings.
  • the connecting zone 10 has an outer diameter d1, which at the same time corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the membrane 9. However, the membrane 9 can also partially overlap the side wall 3 of the capsule.
  • the inner diameter d2 of the connection zone 10 includes a central area 11, at which the membrane 9 is not firmly connected to the capsule bottom 4.
  • the penetration means 12 penetrates the capsule base 4 and the membrane 9 inside or possibly also outside the central area 11. Hot brewing water flows through the opening 8, which can be a closed slot in the idle state, into the area between the capsule base 4 and the membrane 9 and from there through the opening in the membrane 9, which was created by the penetration means 12. At the same time, however, brewing water also penetrates through the opening in the bottom 4, which was also created by the penetration means 12. Before use in the beverage preparation machine, the chamber 6 formed by the capsule obviously remains hermetically sealed from the outside atmosphere.

  • a membrane 9 is then provided according to c and placed on the inside of the capsule body at the bottom.
  • the membrane 9 is then firmly connected to the bottom of the capsule body 2 in the manner described above using a heat sealing tool 22.
  • the initially completely flat base of the capsule body can be given a slightly concave curvature against the inside by the sealing process.
  • the capsule body 2 is filled with a substance 7 at a filling station 23, for example with coffee powder.
  • the capsule body 2 is closed with a lid 5 with the aid of a closing tool 24.
  • work steps e and f can take place at a great distance from work step d.
  • the prepared capsule bodies 2 can, for example, be stacked after the working step d and stored until they are fed to the filling station.
  • the openings 8 consist of a total of eight circular holes which penetrate the bottom 4.
  • the capsule according to Figure 9 differs from that according to Figure 2 in that the four slots 8 serving as openings are arranged relatively far out almost in the region of the indentations 14. In such an arrangement, the openings are in the region of the connection zone, that is to say in the region in which the membrane 9 is firmly connected to the base 4 of the capsule. This is irrespective of whether the membrane is connected to the floor only at an annular connection zone or over the entire area.
  • FIG Figure 10 shows an embodiment in which the membrane 9 is connected to the bottom 4 over the entire surface.
  • the slot-shaped openings 8 here also extend far outside, as in FIG Figure 9 shown.
  • the penetration means 12 and 12 ' also penetrate the bottom 4 in the outer peripheral region of the bottom 4.
  • the penetration means 12 shown penetrates the bottom in an area in which no opening is arranged. At this point there is no increase in the flow rate.
  • the slot 8 causes an increased flow rate, which is caused on the one hand by the enlarged opening cross section and on the other hand by a reduction in the resilience of the bottom wall.
