ES2228186B1 - EXPRESS COFFEE MACHINE - Google Patents

Abstract

Espresso machine, consisting of a structure, chassis or frame (2) provided with all the elements of action, equipped with an upper door (7), through which you access a water tank (8), There are some maximum level (17) and minimum (18) content sensors, a water level display (4), a warning light (16) indicating the replacement of water inside the boiler (15) and a switch that by changing its position determines the connection of the machine to the general water network or its use autonomously by feeding with water through an internal tank.

Description

Espresso machine

Object of the invention

The present specification refers to a Invention Patent application, relating to a coffee machine express, whose obvious purpose is to achieve the delivery of espresso with the appropriate elements, presenting inside a removable water tank, although it is also trained to operate with water from the network, with sensors that determine the maximum and minimum levels of incorporated water of the deposit, also having a display through which the amount of water inside is determined and a indicator light indicating that water is being replenished in the boiler interior.

Field of the Invention

This invention has its application within the hospitality sector and more specifically in the industry dedicated to the manufacture of espresso machines and the like.

Background of the invention

The applicant is aware of the existence today of a large number of coffee makers or espresso machines, which conventionally work connected to the water supply network, presenting internally a boiler inside which goes effecting the gradual heating of the built-in water to subsequently be extracted through the erogator group where make the dose of coffee, either through the steam or water line hot.

The applicant is also aware of the existence today of a large number of coffee makers that they have a tank as a source of water supply, from the which water enters inside a boiler, and leaves through of the relevant conduits to the groups where it is evacuated To the exterior.

However, on the part of the applicant ignores the existence of a coffee machine today Express, industrial type, that is qualified to work interchangeably, both by connecting to the water network drinkable or by feeding from a removable tank Built-in inside the espresso machine.

Description of the invention

The espresso machine object of the invention that is proposed, is configured in itself as an obvious novelty within your specific field of application, by gathering in your context the particularity of allowing its operation from of your connection to the drinking water network or from a reservoir Removable built into the machine itself.

More specifically, the espresso machine object of the invention, is constituted from a structure equipped with the appropriate means of action, optionally manual or electronically, presenting on the front the corresponding erogator group, under which the cup holder, having both the steam and water pipes on both sides hot for infusions, and at the bottom of the structure some support and release legs.

In the upper part the existence of a heat evacuation grate and a trapdoor access to the interior for the introduction and removal of the deposit of water, or to fill the tank without Need for extraction.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive, as an integral part of it, two sheets of plans in which with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, it has been represented the following:

The first figure represents a view in perspective through the frontal area of the object of the invention at a espresso machine.

The second figure represents in perspective the inside of the espresso machine shown in figure 1.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of these figures you can see as the espresso machine (1), it is formed from a structure (2), constituted by the chassis or frame, which has in the lower area of level adjustment legs and support (3), and a light (16), which indicates that it is replenishing water inside the boiler (15). In his part central, you can see the display (4), of the existing water level in the tank (8), the content level sensors or probes maximum (17), and minimum (18), of water from said reservoir (8), the group dispenser (5), a steam outlet duct (6), and an outlet hot water, having all the necessary elements on the front of the structure (2), for coffee dispensing automatically or manually.

In the upper area of the coffee machine express, there is a trapdoor or access door (7), to the tank (8), of water located inside it.

Inside the espresso machine is It has the aforementioned water tank (8), provided with a piece or stopper (9), which closes its mouth, equipped with the corresponding connections to a network solenoid valve counter (12), a load solenoid valve (12 '), a drain (13), the exchanger (14), the boiler (15) and the switch (19), which by changing its position determines the power to connect the machine to the general network of water or its use autonomously through food with water through an inner tank.

Claims (2)

1. Espresso coffee machine, of the one configured from a structure (2), equipped with leveling and support legs (3), presenting at the front an erogator group (5), a steam duct (6 ), and another hot water outlet, having in its internal zone a boiler (15), provided with an exchanger (14), and presenting an interconnection circuit with a pump (11), as well as mains and load solenoid valves (12), and (12 '), respectively, being provided with a drain (13), characterized in that the espresso machine (1), internally has a water tank (8), which is accessed by the trapdoor or door (7), located in the upper part of the structure (2), of the espresso coffee machine (1), said tank having a closing body or stopper (9), connected with a water and coffee meter (10 ), existing sensors or probes of maximum level of content (17), and minimum (18), of water in the tank (8), appearing in the zo The front of the machine (1), a water level display (4), and a warning light (16), which indicates that water is being replenished inside the boiler. 2. Espresso machine, according to the previous one claim and because it has a switch that changing its position determines the power to connect the machine to the general network of water or its use autonomously through food with water through an inner tank.
