摘要:
A beverage preparation machine comprises: a housing (1000); a pump (800) which vibrates during use and which is mounted in the housing; and a dampener for preventing or reducing the transmission of vibrations from the pump to other machine parts, characterised in that the dampener comprise a spring (850) on which the pump is mounted in the housing.
摘要:
An in-line heating device (1,2,3,4) for a liquid food or beverage preparation machine in which liquid is circulated through the heating device and then guided into a brewing chamber. This heating device comprises: a thermoblock with a metal mass (1) that incorporates an inlet, an outlet and a heating chamber extending therebetween to form a passage for guiding said liquid circulating through said mass, the mass being arranged to accumulate heat and to supply heat to the liquid; and one or more electric components (60,70,75) that are rigidly secured onto or into the thermoblock and that are connected to a printed circuit board (4) and/or a flex-print (4') arranged to control the thermoblock. The electric components are rigidly connected to the printed circuit board and/or flex-print, in particular via rigid connector pins or blades or rigid plug and socket members.
摘要:
An integrated in-line heater (1,8,9) for a liquid food or beverage preparation machine, in which liquid is circulated through said heater and then guided into a brewing chamber (7) for brewing a food or beverage ingredient, for instance within a pod or capsule (7''), supplied into the brewing chamber. An upstream part of the brewing chamber may be formed by the heater. One or more electric components (5,60,70,75) may be incorporated into the heater and rigidly connected to a printed circuit board (50). The heater may have a tubular inner core (9) that is eccentric with respect to a tubular or prismatic outer member (8) which form together a helicoidal heating chamber (4) of variable cross-section (4',4").
摘要:
Beverage machine with a beverage brewing unit (1) for receiving a single-serve capsule (9) comprising: a capsule holding assembly (3) for holding a capsule in a position during insertion by gravity of the capsule in the brewing unit; and a water injection assembly (2) for at least partially enclosing the capsule and providing water in the capsule. The capsule holding part forms a front part of the unit and is mounted to the capsule injection assembly in a manner to be displaceable along a substantially horizontal path whereas the water injection assembly is a rear fixed part of the unit. The beverage machine has an outermost casing (80). One of these brewing unit assemblies (2,3) can be moved or telescoped out or through this casing for inserting/removing the ingredient capsule and retracted into the outermost casing for bringing the brewing unit into its capsule extraction configuration.
摘要:
A machine (1) for preparing a beverage (4ʹ) comprises a frame (2) and a beverage preparation module (9) supported by the frame, the module (9) having a part (10) that is movable relative to the frame between: a transfer position for introducing a beverage ingredient into the module (9) and/or removing the ingredient therefrom; and a processing position for forming the beverage from the ingredient in the module. The beverage preparation module further has a beverage outlet (11) for dispensing the formed beverage (4ʹ) to a beverage dispensing area (4) for receiving a user-recipient for collecting the beverage (4ʹ). The frame (2) further supports a guide (20) configured to drain and deliver liquid residues (3') from the beverage outlet (11) to a service area (3) separate from the dispensing area (4) so that the residues (3ʹ) are inhibited from being drained from the beverage outlet (11) to the beverage dispensing area (4).
摘要:
A coupling arrangement (1) , in particular for a beverage preparation machine, comprises: a female end-portion (2) of a first tubular section (21), the end-portion having a transverse opening (22); a male end-portion (3) of a second tubular section (31), the male end-portion being insertable into the female end-portion and having a retaining surface (32); and a coupling element (4) insertable via the transverse opening into the female end-portion, the coupling element comprising a retaining portion (41), in particular a resilient retaining portion, for engaging with the retaining surface (32) of the male end-portion and mechanically securing the male end-portion in the female end-portion. The coupling element and female end-portion further comprise a fastening arrangement (2',2" ,42,43) for assembling and mechanically securing the coupling element (4) to the female end-portion (2) prior to insertion of the male end-portion (3) into the female end-portion (2).
