A beverage machine which uses ingredient capsules

摘要

A beverage machine, which comprises a housing (32), which includes: - a first part (34) for receiving an ingredient capsule inside, - a second part (70) which has a surface (91), which is provided with protruding piercing members (90), which face the first part, - an opening (76) in the housing, which makes it possible for the ingredient capsule to be inserted in an insertion direction (Z ), between the first and second parts, the first and second parts being mobile, one in relation to the other, along a longitudinal axis (X), perpendicular to the surface of the second part, between two positions, a first position, in which the first and second parts are spaced apart, so that the ingredient capsule is inserted between them, and a second position, in which the first and second parts, are close, one with respect to the other, so that, The ingredient capsule received in the first part is in contact with the protruding piercing members, the insertion direction (Z) being substantially perpendicular, with respect to the longitudinal axis, and that, the protruding piercing members (90) , are provided in a distribution order, on the surface of the second part, with respect to the opening (76), so that, in a permanent way, the risk of capturing the ingredient capsule is reduced, in an unwanted position, by means of the protruding piercing members, during the insertion of the ingredient capsule, wherein the protruding projection members (90) each have several perforation edges (90b-d), which are provided in a plane parallel to the surface of the second part, where the perforating edges of the protruding piercing members, which are oriented towards the opening, are disputed. these at an angle, with respect to the direction of insertion, which is less than 90 °, when these are seen in the plane in which the perforation edges are arranged, where, the second part (70), comprises a plate (74), which has a surface (91) which has the surface (91) provided with the protruding piercing members (90) and which is capable of rotating around an axis perpendicular to the surface, characterized by the the fact that the machine comprises positioning means (110, 112, 114, 116, 120, 122), to position the surface (91) of the plate (74), in a predetermined angular position, where the order of arrangement of the outgoing drilling members, allows a permanent reduction of the risk of capturing the ingredient capsule, by means of the projection protruding means, during the insertion of the ingredient capsule, and by the fact that the plate is located mounted against a stand, and what e, the positioning means, comprises cooperating male means (110, 112, 114, 116, 120, 122) and female cooperation means (120, 122), on the support and the plate, to avoid the fact that, the plate, be rotated in a significant way, with respect to the predetermined angular position.
