摘要: The present invention concerns a heating unit (100) for a beverage preparation machine (1) said machine (1) being suitable for preparing a beverage by mixing a beverage ingredient with a fluid, said machine comprising a pump for circulating said beverage preparation fluid through said machine at least from a fluid source to said heating unit, the heating unit (100) being suitable for heating said fluid and comprising: a housing (103) defining a fluid heating chamber (108), and a heating element (104) located inside said housing (103) and being adapted to heat said fluid therein, wherein the heating unit (100) further comprises a pre-heating tube (101) for conveying said fluid received from said pump through said heating unit (100), the pre-heating tube (101) comprising a tube inlet (102) and a tube outlet (107), the tube outlet (107) connecting with the heating chamber (108), and wherein the pre-heating tube (101) is located at least partly within the housing (103) in such a way that the heating element (104) will at least partially heat said fluid in said pre-heating tube (101) before said pre-heated fluid is released into the heating chamber (108) through said outlet (107). In this way, a fluid, e.g. a liquid being water, is effectively heated at two stages using the same heating element during its progression through the heating unit. Furthermore, mixing of hot and cold fluid or liquid within the same mass of liquid or water is avoided as the fluid or liquid will be heated before arriving in the heating chamber.

摘要: The present invention is directed to a home food or beverage preparation machine (1) comprising a mechanical part which is mobile between at least a first and a second position. The machine (1) comprises an actuator comprising a wire (13) made of a shape memory material. This wire (13) has a retracted state and an extended state, and the actuator is configured to move the mechanical part to or maintain the mechanical part in one of said first and second positions by retraction of the wire. Any mobile part of a home food or beverage preparation machine, and more particularly a valve assembly or a mobile plate (22) for clamping an ingredient package may thus be moved instantaneously without noise between its different positions.

摘要: The invention relates to a pipe arrangement for a fluid heating assembly formed of a single heat conductive pipe (1), comprising a stack, along a main axis (A) of the arrangement, of elongate loops (L1, L2, L3, L4) of said pipe (1) extending radially from the main axis (A) in directions substantially orthogonal to said main axis (A). The extension directions of two successive loops form a substantially constant angle between them, and the parts of the loops (L1, L2, L3, L4), in the stack, that are proximal in relation to the main axis (A) define a central channel around the main axis (A). The invention also relates to a fluid heating assembly comprising such a pipe arrangement, and to a portable hot beverage preparation machine comprising this fluid heating assembly.
