Description

The utility model relates to elements of devices for preparing three-component drinks, such as, for example, a latte or cappuccino with sugar, by passing hot water through three capsules without an internal piercer, containing the substance for preparing the drink. The utility model can be used in a system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks, consisting of a car coffee machine without an internal capsule holder, an external holder of three capsules, a glass and three capsules, which is used in vehicles, for example, in a taxi.

A stationary automobile coffee maker is known, in which a coffee mug can be removably placed in the brewing station, which is closed with a removable lid, and the lid for the drink includes a chamber for capsules formed in it, including at least one hole for draining the finished drink into a coffee mug, as well as a capsule holder, including a hole for passing water (US patent 7487712, published 02/10/2009). This solution provides protection against splashing in shaking conditions, but is only applicable for individual use and requires systematic cleaning of the lid and capsule retainer, which is not suitable for use in public transport.

It is known to use in a device for preparing beverages a part for connecting to a vessel for removable connection with the rim of the connected vessel; an annular portion in the form of a lid panel extending radially inward relative to said portion for connection to a container having an opening of considerable size for the passage of a large amount of liquid; part in the form of a chamber for receiving into it a portion of flavoring material formed by walls extending downward relative to the mentioned part in the form of a lid panel and to a position significantly below the mentioned part for connection to the vessel (RF Application for an invention No. 99115457, publ. 06/10/2001 ). The described solution includes a chamber for receiving a portion of flavoring material, which does not ensure the tightness of the flavoring material, which negatively affects the taste of the resulting drink, especially coffee. In addition, the known solution, when used in conditions of shaking and vibration, does not ensure safety for the user, since this design of the device assumes the presence of an open stream of hot water used for brewing.

A device is known in which a capsule with coffee extract is inserted into a holder and placed in a container into which the drink that has leaked through the capsule flows, which, in turn, flows through a flexible hose into a paper or plastic cup and is transferred to the consumer (US patent US 5150645, published 05/29/1991). Above the capsule there is a blade for piercing the capsule. The disadvantage of the device is the need to make a hole in the receiving glass for a hose through which the drink enters the glass and fixing the glass, for example, in vehicles.

The technical result achieved by the claimed utility model is to increase the safety of the system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks from three capsules without an internal piercer.

To achieve a technical result, a marked annular part of a nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer is claimed, containing a marking capable of being read by a scanner of a car coffee machine, a mount capable of being connected to a glass, a holder configured to be connected to a nest of three capsules, a bracket, configured to be connected to a triple piercer, a triple piercer configured to pierce three capsules, characterized in that the triple piercer is designed to be mechanically connected.

The claimed device, a marked annular part of a nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1, is an element of a marked external holder of three capsules used in a system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks.

The system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks is a system of elements connected to each other. The elements of the system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks are a car coffee machine 10, not equipped with an internal capsule holder and equipped with a scanner 7, a glass 4, three capsules 3 and a marked external holder of three capsules.

The marked external holder of three capsules consists of a nest of three capsules 2, a marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1 and a triple piercer 8, and these elements are designed to be mechanically connected to each other. The labeled outer three capsule holder in the assembled position is shown in FIG. 2B, 2G, 4B.

Increasing the safety of the system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks is ensured by reducing the likelihood of using defective declared devices, since a defective claimed device may create a danger, for example, of accidental removal of the claimed device from the glass and/or loss of the capsule and/or breakdown of the claimed device in while drinking a drink, which may result in a hot drink pouring from a glass onto a passenger and/or elements of the car interior.

The marked outer holder of the three capsules is produced by injection molding, for example using an injection molding machine. To produce a labeled outer holder for three capsules, you will need to make a mold into which molten plastic material is poured under pressure. The marked outer holder of the three capsules is a complex figure having a combination of undercuts. The production of a marked external holder of three capsules in a monolithic design will require the manufacture of a complex mold, which may include special forming elements such as folding punches, composite and sliding dies and special release plates. Obviously, the more complex the mold, the higher the defect rate. In the “Great Encyclopedia of Oil and Gas” with reference to the book by Samokhvalov Y.A. “Handbook of Design Technicians”, in chapter 8 “Parts made of plastics” it is written: “...Undercuts impair the manufacturability of parts, reduce their accuracy and surface quality, complicate the design of the mold and limit productivity during pressing. By changing the design of products, undercuts can be avoided. If it is impossible to avoid undercuts, then in some cases it is advisable to split such a part into two (or more) simple parts...” page 330, paragraph 5. https://www.ngpedia.ru/pg1677673pmQmENz0001274576/. That is, it is possible to reduce the amount of defects if you make one mold for the production of a nest of three capsules 2, a second mold for the production of a marked ring part of a nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1, and a third mold for the production of a triple piercer 8. Thus obtain three simplified products and insert the nest of three capsules 2 into the marked ring part of the nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1, onto which the triple piercer 8 is attached before use. This method will ensure a smaller amount of defects in the production of the external holder of three capsules in comparison with the option of using a mold for the nest of three capsules 2, made inseparably from the marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1, made inseparably from the triple piercer 8.

Increasing the safety of the system for the safe preparation of three-component drinks is ensured by eliminating the possibility of using the claimed device with a car coffee machine that does not correspond to the claimed device, for example, with a car coffee machine designed to prepare one-component drinks, in which the upper capsule piercer is configured to pierce a capsule, the location of which is different on the location of the capsules in the claimed device. Supplying water to the upper capsule piercer of a car coffee machine designed to prepare single-ingredient drinks will cause hot water to splash past the capsules and create a risk of hot water splashing onto the user and the vehicle interior.

To eliminate such a danger, the claimed device contains marking 9, which can be a bar code or a QR code, which is applied to the claimed device, for example, by painting and/or gluing and/or burning and/or casting and/or stamping or by using any other method of application. Marking 9 contains encoded information, for example, about the type of the declared device and/or any other information that allows the automobile coffee machine 10 to identify the declared device as an element that, based on the type and legitimacy of production, can be used with the automobile coffee machine 10. The presence of marking 9 allows you to control the compatibility of the declared device and automobile coffee machine 10, and also allows you to obtain any other information about the claimed device, which may be contained in the marking 9. To read the marking 9, the automobile coffee machine 10 contains a scanner 7. The automobile coffee machine 10 is designed to receive and analyze information obtained from the marking 9 and making a decision about the possibility or impossibility of operating the automobile coffee machine 10 together with the proposed claimed device. The analysis of the marking 9 occurs, for example, using the electronic control unit of a car coffee machine, which is designed to analyze the information received from the marking 9 and send a command to the elements of the car coffee machine 10 to prepare a drink or block the process of preparing a drink. Marking 9 can be applied to any place of the claimed device with the ability to read marking 9 by scanner 7.

The marked ring part of the nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1 is designed for use in automobile coffee machines equipped with a scanner and not equipped with an internal capsule holder, with three capsules without an internal piercer, for example, Nespresso standard, made, for example, of plastic, contains marking 9, fastening 5, monolithically connected to the holder 6. The claimed device is made with the possibility of mechanical connection with the triple piercer 8 using, for example, hook-shaped clamps or elastic clamps, or clamps with ring or spherical snap elements, or using another mechanical connection option.

The marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1 contains at least one hole made with the possibility of drinking a drink from a glass 4.

The marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1 is designed to be connected to the nest of three capsules 2 using fastening 5, which can be an annular groove, or a thread or another type of fastening that prevents spilling and/or splashing of liquid from the glass 4, through the connection “the marked ring part of the nest of three capsules with the connected triple piercer 1 - the nest of three capsules 2”. The marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1 is made with the possibility of connection with the glass 4 using a holder 6, which can be an annular groove, or a thread or another type of connection that prevents spilling and/or splashing of liquid from the glass 4, through the connection “the marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1 - glass 4.” The marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1 is made with the ability to access and tightly press the upper piercer of three capsules, which is an element of the automobile coffee machine 10, to the three capsules 3 installed in the nest of three capsules 2. The marked annular part of the nest of three capsules with a connected triple piercer 1 is designed to be removably connected to a nest of three capsules 2 in such a way that a three-component drink flowing from three capsules 3 installed in a nest of three capsules 2 falls into a glass 4.

To use three capsules without an internal piercer, the claimed device contains a triple piercer 8, including three piercing parts, for example, needles. The triple piercer 8 can be secured to the inventive device using a mechanical connection such as, for example, hook-shaped fasteners or elastic fasteners, or fasteners with ring or spherical snap elements, or using another type of mechanical connection, while sharp, piercing, parts of the triple piercer 8 are configured to pierce three capsules 3 when placing three capsules 3 in the nest of three capsules 2.

For mechanical connection with the triple piercer 8, the claimed device contains several brackets 11, designed to mechanically fix the triple piercer. The bracket 11 may be, for example, a hook-shaped fastener or an elastic fastener, or a fastener with ring or spherical snap elements, or another type of mechanical connection. The bracket 11 is made inseparably from the claimed device, for example, by soldering or gluing, or casting, or by another method of inseparable connection.

The utility model works as follows.

The user manually inserts a nest of three capsules 2 and a triple piercer 8 into the claimed device, places the claimed device on a glass 4, installs three capsules 3, one of which may contain coffee extract, the other milk powder, and the third sugar, into the nest of three capsules 2 so, as shown in Fig. 3, while three capsules 3 are pierced with their lower parts by a triple piercer 8, after that, the user places a glass 4 with three capsules 3 installed, with a nest of three capsules 2 and the claimed device in the car coffee machine 10 and presses the upper piercer three capsules, which is an element of the automobile coffee machine 10, to the capsules 3 using a device for pressing, for example, a linear motion actuator. The user turns on the water supply. The automobile coffee machine 10, using a scanner 7, reads the marking 9, analyzes the information received and sends a command to the elements of the automobile coffee machine 10 to prepare a drink or blocks the process of preparing the drink. Using a water pump, water is supplied to the upper piercer of three capsules, which is configured to drain water passing through the upper piercer of three capsules into capsules 3 through the punctures. Water passes through three capsules 3 inside the glass 4. After the glass 4 is filled, the user moves the upper piercer of the three capsules away from the capsules 3, lifting the linear movement actuator, and removes the glass 4 with the installed capsules 3, with the nest of the three capsules 2 and the stated device. The drink is ready to drink through the hole. After consuming the drink, the user disposes of the claimed device with a glass, capsules and a nest of three capsules.

Thus, the claimed utility model makes it possible to increase the safety of the system for the safe preparation of a three-component drink from three capsules without an internal piercer.
