System for making beverages by infusing

摘要

Provided is a system for making beverages that includes an infusion chamber with first and second chamber portions, one of which is movable, an actuator that controls closure of the infusion chamber, a closure device that includes upstream and downstream closures to allow or prevent the dose to enter the infusion chamber. The system includes at least an incoming fluid pipe that supplies the infusion chamber with fluid to be infused, with the first chamber portion interconnected to the actuator.

1. A system for making beverages, the system comprising:
an infusion chamber for receiving a dose of a product to be infused, wherein the infusion chamber is defined by a first chamber portion and a second chamber portion arranged to move apart from one another or come together in order to respectively open or close the infusion chamber; an actuator arranged to control closure of the infusion chamber, the first chamber portion connected to the actuator; and a closure device comprising:
an upstream closure arranged to selectively prevent or allow the dose to enter the infusion chamber when the infusion chamber is open,a downstream closure arranged to selectively prevent or allow the dose to exit the infusion chamber when the infusion chamber is open, wherein the closure device is arranged so as to pass alternatively: from a first position in which:
the upstream closure prevents the dose from entering the infusion chamber,the downstream closure allows the dose to exit the infusion chamber, to a second position in which:
the upstream closure allows the dose to enter the infusion chamber,the downstream closure allows receipt of the dose into the infusion chamber and prevents the dose from exiting the infusion chamber, wherein an incoming fluid pipe supplies the infusion chamber, wherein the upstream closure and the downstream closure are interconnected, wherein the closure device is separate from the first and second chamber portions, wherein the closure device comprising the upstream closure and the downstream closure is separate from the dose, wherein the closure device is configured to translate along a main direction to pass alternatively from the first position to the second position, and wherein the upstream closure and the downstream closure are arranged to have a mutual offset in the main direction.
