Description
本發明係關於一種萃取裝置與萃取方法,特別是一種具有閥體與抽氣裝置的萃取裝置與萃取方法。The present invention relates to an extraction device and an extraction method, in particular to an extraction device and an extraction method having a valve body and an air extraction device.
隨著生活水平不斷地提升,咖啡不再僅是一種提神飲品,而是更進一步地被視為一種生活品味的體現。這樣的風氣趨使咖啡變得更為普及,且各種咖啡的種類與製作方式也都擁有廣大的消費市場。With the continuous improvement of living standards, coffee is no longer just a refreshing drink, but is further regarded as a manifestation of lifestyle. This trend tends to make coffee more popular, and various types and production methods of coffee also have a vast consumer market.
舉例來說,冷萃咖啡,又可稱「冰釀咖啡」,由於可體現咖啡的獨特風味,因此近年來受到越來越多消費者的喜愛。傳統上製作冷萃咖啡的方式,是透過以較為低溫(例如為室溫或更低溫)的水長時間浸泡咖啡粉,以待咖啡粉之微小孔隙中的芬芳物質逐漸溶入水中。For example, cold brew coffee, also known as "ice brewed coffee", has been loved by more and more consumers in recent years because it reflects the unique flavor of coffee. Traditionally, cold brew coffee is made by steeping coffee powder in water at a relatively low temperature (for example, room temperature or lower) for a long time, so that the fragrant substances in the tiny pores of the coffee powder gradually dissolve into the water.
然而,浸泡時間至少需要12~24小時不等,製作時間漫長,因此需要提前製作而不能立即飲用,對於生活步調越來越快的現代人而言,傳統的製作手法顯得麻煩且不便,且過程中都需要將其維持冷藏,不僅大量地占用冰箱的儲存空間,也相應增加用電成本。對於銷售冷萃咖啡的門市來說,雖已預先製作冷萃咖啡庫存以供應銷售需求,但仍常常發生庫存不足而無法滿足消費者需求的情況,或是庫存過多而產生需要丟棄咖啡的情形。除此之外,咖啡長時間浸泡於水中,容易溶出過多咖啡粉內不好的雜質而影響咖啡風味。However, the soaking time needs at least 12~24 hours, and the production time is long. Therefore, it needs to be prepared in advance and cannot be consumed immediately. For modern people whose lives are getting faster and faster, traditional production methods are troublesome and inconvenient, and the process is Zhongdu needs to keep it refrigerated, which not only takes up a large amount of storage space in the refrigerator, but also increases electricity costs accordingly. For stores selling cold brew coffee, although cold brew coffee stocks have been pre-made to supply sales demand, there are often situations where the stock is insufficient to meet consumer demand, or the stock is too much and the coffee needs to be discarded. In addition, if coffee is soaked in water for a long time, it is easy to dissolve too much bad impurities in the coffee powder and affect the coffee flavor.
有鑑於此,本發明提供一種萃取裝置與萃取方法,藉以能以較為便利、快速且高品質的方式進行如咖啡等飲品的萃取。In view of this, the present invention provides an extraction device and an extraction method, whereby beverages such as coffee can be extracted in a more convenient, fast and high-quality manner.
根據本發明之一實施例揭露了一種萃取裝置,用於一混合物,混合物包含一液體及一原料體。萃取裝置包含一第一儲存槽體、一第二儲存槽體、一閥體以及一抽氣裝置。第二儲存槽體用以儲存該混合物。閥體連接於第二儲存槽體與第一儲存槽體之間。抽氣裝置連通第一儲存槽體,用以抽取第一儲存槽體內之氣體,以使第一儲存槽體之內壓下降至預定壓力值。當第一儲存槽體之內壓達到預定壓力值時,閥體開啟。According to an embodiment of the present invention, an extraction device is disclosed for a mixture, and the mixture includes a liquid and a raw material. The extraction device includes a first storage tank body, a second storage tank body, a valve body and an air extraction device. The second storage tank is used for storing the mixture. The valve body is connected between the second storage tank body and the first storage tank body. The air pumping device is connected to the first storage tank body for extracting gas in the first storage tank body so as to reduce the internal pressure of the first storage tank body to a predetermined pressure value. When the internal pressure of the first storage tank reaches a predetermined pressure value, the valve body opens.
根據本發明之一實施例揭露了一種萃取方法,用於一萃取裝置,萃取裝置包含一第一儲存槽體以及一閥體,閥體連接於第一儲存槽體,萃取方法包含:對第一儲存槽體執行一降壓程序;判斷第一儲存槽體之內壓是否小於或等於一預定壓力值;當第一儲存槽體之內壓判斷為小於或等於預定壓力值時,開啟該閥體;以及當第一儲存槽體之內壓判斷為大於預定壓力值時,繼續對第一儲存槽體執行降壓程序。According to an embodiment of the present invention, an extraction method is disclosed for an extraction device. The extraction device includes a first storage tank and a valve body. The valve body is connected to the first storage tank. The extraction method includes: The storage tank performs a pressure reduction procedure; it is determined whether the internal pressure of the first storage tank is less than or equal to a predetermined pressure value; when the internal pressure of the first storage tank is determined to be less than or equal to the predetermined pressure value, the valve body is opened ; And when the internal pressure of the first storage tank is determined to be greater than the predetermined pressure value, continue to perform the pressure reduction procedure on the first storage tank.
根據前述本發明前述實施例所揭露的萃取裝置與萃取方法,抽氣裝置可對第一儲存槽體先進行氣體抽取,以使第一儲存槽體之內壓先下降至預定壓力值後再將閥體開啟,藉此第一儲存槽體與第二儲存槽體可因負壓而產生足夠的壓力差,使得原料體中之萃取物得以受到壓力差的驅使而快速地被萃取出來並一併流入第一儲存槽體,經實驗,這樣的負壓抽取程序可於短時間內萃取出原料體中的萃取物。According to the extraction device and extraction method disclosed in the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, the gas extraction device can extract gas from the first storage tank first, so that the internal pressure of the first storage tank first drops to a predetermined pressure value before the The valve body is opened, so that the first storage tank body and the second storage tank body can generate a sufficient pressure difference due to the negative pressure, so that the extract in the raw material body can be driven by the pressure difference to be quickly extracted and combined Flow into the first storage tank body, after experiments, such a negative pressure extraction procedure can extract the extract in the raw material body in a short time.
舉例來說,如應用於冷萃咖啡時,藉由負壓而產生足夠的壓力差,可強迫並加速咖啡粉(即原料體)之微小孔隙中的芬芳物質(即萃取物)在短時間內被萃取出來。For example, when applied to cold brew coffee, a sufficient pressure difference generated by the negative pressure can force and accelerate the fragrant substances (ie extracts) in the tiny pores of the coffee powder (ie the raw material) in a short time Was extracted.
相較於傳統上透過長時間等待芬芳物質從咖啡粉孔隙自然擴散溶入水中的冷萃手段,本發明之萃取裝置可大幅降低萃取時間,甚至大幅度縮短至僅約數分鐘,從而可實現立即食用而不需要提前大量製作庫存、節省冰箱使用空間以及降低製作之用電成本等優點,並且,由於咖啡粉與水接觸的時間短,還可大幅降低雜質因浸泡時間過長而一併溶入水中而影響風味的機率。Compared with the traditional cold extraction method that waits for a long time for the aromatic substances to diffuse naturally from the pores of the coffee powder and dissolve into the water, the extraction device of the present invention can greatly reduce the extraction time, even to only a few minutes, so as to realize immediate consumption There is no need to make a large amount of inventory in advance, save the space of the refrigerator, and reduce the cost of electricity for making. Moreover, because the coffee powder is in contact with water for a short time, it can also greatly reduce impurities that dissolve into the water due to too long soaking time And affect the probability of flavor.

補充說明的是,將咖啡粉浸入水中而形成粉水的程序可稱為浸濕(Wetting),是咖啡粉吸收水的物理反應過程,過程中可使咖啡粉之孔隙中的部分易揮發合成物、氣體物質被水取代,且有部分氣體物質溶解到水中,且從肉眼可觀察到咖啡粉的外觀會有膨脹的現象。另外,前述對於咖啡的「萃取」,是指當咖啡粉被浸濕,氣體與易揮發物質被溶於水且可溶解物質同時也被拉出咖啡粉的過程。於此過程中,咖啡粉之孔隙內的可溶解物質可透過不同形式的化學反應離開咖啡粉,包括溶解過程、水解過程、擴散過程等,這些過程並非有順序性或只發生一次,通常這些過程可反覆發生以增加咖啡萃取率,萃取率低(萃取不足)或高(過萃)會在感知上展現不同特徵,舉例來說,對於某些咖啡豆種而言,萃取不足例如會使風味偏酸,過萃則可能會使風味偏苦、澀,但本發明並非以此為限。It is added that the process of immersing coffee powder in water to form powder water can be called Wetting, which is the physical reaction process of coffee powder absorbing water, during which some volatile compounds in the pores of coffee powder can be made , The gas substance is replaced by water, and some of the gas substance is dissolved in the water, and the appearance of the coffee powder can be observed from the naked eye. In addition, the aforementioned "extraction" of coffee refers to the process in which gas and volatile substances are dissolved in water when the coffee powder is soaked, and the soluble substances are also pulled out of the coffee powder. During this process, the soluble substances in the pores of the coffee powder can leave the coffee powder through different forms of chemical reactions, including dissolution, hydrolysis, diffusion, etc. These processes are not sequential or occur only once. Usually these processes It can be repeated to increase the coffee extraction rate. Low (under-extraction) or high (over-extraction) will show different characteristics in perception. For example, for some coffee beans, under-extraction may cause flavor bias. Sour and over-extraction may make the flavor bitter and astringent, but the present invention is not limited to this.
此外,咖啡粉的大小、密度、形狀與分布以及加入水的方式、以及任何在浸濕過程前後所加入的動力也會影響浸濕的速度及萃取率,但本發明並非以此為限,且針對該額外施加的動力的部分請容後描述。In addition, the size, density, shape and distribution of coffee powder, the way of adding water, and any power added before and after the soaking process will also affect the soaking speed and extraction rate, but the present invention is not limited to this, and Please describe the part of the additional power applied later.
另需先敘明的是,前述的咖啡萃取物之大小、數量、形狀與種類會因咖啡粉種類而異,本發明並非以此為限,並且,於本發明中,咖啡粉、水之種類或量、粉水中咖啡粉與水的混合比例、萃取物之萃取率、以及冷萃咖啡中之萃取物或咖啡之濃度等也不予以限制,且為保持圖式簡潔以利於本發明之說明,本發明之圖式並未繪示咖啡粉、水以及其混合物、咖啡粉之萃取物或萃取物與水之混合溶液。It should also be stated first that the size, quantity, shape and type of the aforementioned coffee extracts will vary with the type of coffee powder, and the present invention is not limited to this, and in the present invention, the types of coffee powder and water Or amount, the mixing ratio of coffee powder and water in the powder water, the extraction rate of the extract, and the concentration of the extract or coffee in the cold brew coffee are also not limited, and in order to keep the diagram simple to facilitate the description of the present invention, The drawings of the present invention do not show coffee powder, water and mixtures thereof, coffee powder extracts or mixed solutions of extracts and water.

液體通道40,為連接於第二儲存槽體20與第一儲存槽體10a之間以用於使第二儲存槽體20內之粉水流入第一儲存槽體10a的液體管路,可以但不限於是以一或多條流管(未標號)所構成,本發明並非以此為限。於本實施例或其他實施例中,無論該流管之種類、數量或連接方式,只要是可使粉水流通於第二儲存槽體20與第一儲存槽體10a之間的結構,均可視為本發明之液體通道。於本實施例或其他實施例中,液體通道40兩端口可以但不限於設置防漏水接頭(未標號)。The
閥體30,設置於液體通道40上,於閥體30關閉時,可用以止擋液體通道40中的粉水,從而阻止從第二儲存槽體20流出之粉水流入第一儲存槽體10a,而於閥體30開啟時,可讓粉水流入第一儲存槽體10a。但,本發明並非以閥體30之種類為限。此外,於本實施例或其他實施例中,閥體30上可以但不限額外地設置一驅動馬達(未標號),以控制閥體30的開關,但本發明並非以此為限。另外,補充說明的是,液體通道40可為選用,於其他實施例中,萃取裝置也可省略前述的液體通道,在此情況下,可將閥體改為直接連接於第二儲存槽體與第一儲存槽體之間的設計,但本發明並非以此或與其相關之更動為限。The
抽氣通道60,為連接於抽氣裝置50與第一儲存槽體10a之間的氣體管路,可以但不限於是以一或多條氣管(未標號)所構成,本發明並非以此為限。於本實施例或其他實施例中,無論該氣管之種類、數量或連接方式,只要是可使氣體自第一儲存槽體10a內流出而流向抽氣裝置50的結構,均可視為本發明之抽氣通道。於本實施例或其他實施例中,抽氣通道60兩端口可以但不限於設置防漏氣接頭(未標號)。抽氣裝置50,可用以吸取抽氣通道60之空氣,從而經由抽氣通道60吸取第一儲存槽體10a內之空氣,使得第一儲存槽體10a內部壓力下降形成負壓,但本發明並非以抽氣裝置50之種類以及其抽氣能力為限。另外,補充說明的是,抽氣通道60也可為選用,於其他實施例中,萃取裝置也可省略前述的抽氣通道,在此情況下,抽氣裝置改為可直接與第一儲存槽體相連接的設計,但本發明並非以此或與其相關之更動為限。The
於本實施例與其他實施例中,抽氣裝置50可抽取第一儲存槽體10a內之氣體以使第一儲存槽體10a之內壓下降至一預定壓力值,這裡所述抽取第一儲存槽體10a內之氣體而使第一儲存槽體10a之內壓逐漸下降的程序可稱為降壓程序,而這裡所述的預定壓力,例如是小於第二儲存槽體20之內壓的一壓力值,但本發明並非以降壓程序時的減壓率或執行時間、第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20之內壓值、預定壓力值的數值或預定壓力值與第二儲存槽體20之內壓的差值等為限,且於此,本發明也非以如何偵測預定壓力值的方式為限,例如可以但不限於是在抽氣裝置50處或與抽氣裝置50相連通之管道上設置壓力感測元件(未繪示)的方式來實現。In this embodiment and other embodiments, the
當第一儲存槽體10a之內壓達到該預定壓力值時,是指第一儲存槽體10a之內壓達到小於或等於該預定壓力值的情況,即表示第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20之間的內壓差值達到當次萃取的要求,此時,閥體30開啟以使第二儲存槽體20中之水開始經由液體通道40開始流入第一儲存槽體10a,從而驅使咖啡粉之孔隙內的萃取物隨著水的流動得以一併吸取出來,進而與水一併經由液體通道40流入第一儲存槽體10a而成為冷萃咖啡。詳細來說,由於第一儲存槽體10a之內壓下降至小於或等於預定壓力值而使得第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20之間形成一定程度的壓力差,從而可在短時間內迫使孔隙中的芬芳物質(即萃取物)被萃取出來,並隨著水一併經由液體通道40流入第一儲存槽體10a。前述透過壓力差驅使萃取物與水一併流入第一儲存槽體10a的過程可稱為負壓抽取程序,需解釋的是,根據需求的不同,預定壓力值的大小以及其於第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20之間所產生的壓力差值(即當次萃取對於第一儲存槽體與第二儲存槽體之間的壓力差值的需求)並不予以限制,且前述的負壓抽取程序的時間也並不加以限制。When the internal pressure of the first
經實驗測試結果,在常溫(約20度)下,藉由本實施例之萃取裝置1a對20克咖啡粉、200ml水的粉水以預定壓力值為-150托(torr)的條件下進行冷萃,結果,負壓抽取程序的時間只需要約30秒內即可完成。According to the experimental test results, at room temperature (about 20 degrees), the extraction device 1a of this embodiment performs cold extraction on 20 grams of coffee powder and 200 ml of water under a predetermined pressure of -150 torr. As a result, the time of the negative pressure extraction procedure only needs about 30 seconds to complete.
相較於傳統上透過長時間等待芬芳物質從咖啡粉孔隙自然擴散溶入水中的冷萃手段,本實施例之萃取裝置1a可將萃取時間從12~24小時大幅縮短至僅約數分鐘,從而可實現立即食用而不需要提前大量製作庫存、節省冰箱使用空間以及降低製作之用電成本等優點,並且,由於咖啡粉與水接觸的時間短,還可大幅降低雜質因浸泡時間過長而一併溶入水中而影響風味的機率。此外,也由於萃取時間短,在產生相同萃取率的前提下,本實施例之萃取裝置1a所採用的咖啡粉與水的比例(可簡稱為粉水比)可約為1:10~1:12,但較傳統利用長時間浸泡咖啡的冷萃手段的粉水比卻需要1:4~1:12,因此,萃取裝置1a需要的咖啡粉量較低。且由於本實施例之冷萃手段所需的萃取時間短,故藉由本實施例之萃取裝置1a所萃取出的冷萃咖啡的咖啡因濃度也較低。Compared with the traditional cold extraction method that waits for a long time for aromatic substances to diffuse naturally from the pores of the coffee powder into the water, the extraction device 1a of this embodiment can greatly shorten the extraction time from 12 to 24 hours to only about a few minutes. Realize the advantages of immediate consumption without the need to make a large amount of inventory in advance, save the space of the refrigerator, and reduce the cost of electricity for making, and because the contact time of coffee powder and water is short, it can also greatly reduce impurities due to too long soaking time. The probability of dissolving into water and affecting the flavor. In addition, due to the short extraction time, the ratio of coffee powder to water (which can be referred to as the powder-water ratio) used in the extraction device 1a of this embodiment can be about 1:10~1 under the premise of producing the same extraction rate: 12. However, compared with the traditional cold extraction method that uses long-term steeping of coffee, the ratio of powder to water is 1:4~1:12. Therefore, the amount of coffee powder required by the extraction device 1a is lower. Moreover, since the extraction time required by the cold extraction method of this embodiment is short, the caffeine concentration of the cold brew coffee extracted by the extraction device 1a of this embodiment is also relatively low.
另一方面,為了將第一儲存槽體10a形成完全密封而有利於對第一儲存槽體10a內部進行負壓抽取程序,以下將接續介紹如何將第一儲存槽體10a密封而使其內部形成完全密封的空間的方式。On the other hand, in order to completely seal the first
請再次參閱圖1~4,於本實施例中,萃取裝置1a還包含一密封構件70a、一攪拌組件80以及一殼體100a。殼體100a可包含一主機殼部101a、一連接殼部102a以及一承載盤103a。Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 4 again. In this embodiment, the extraction device 1a further includes a sealing
前述的閥體30、抽氣裝置50、部分的液體通道40以及部分的抽氣通道60可均容置於主機殼部101a中。此外,於本實施例或其他實施例中,主機殼部101a中還可容置控制中心(未繪示),其可包含電路板、處理器與電路等電子元件,可用以地控制閥體30、抽氣裝置50等萃取裝置1a上之其他電子元件或電器裝置或反饋其資訊給使用者。此外,主機殼部101a上可設置有開關鍵,以供使用者觸壓以啟動整個裝置,以及還可設置有萃取開始鍵(均未標號),以供使用者觸壓以開始執行萃取的程序。補充說明的是,本發明並非以主機殼體101a之材料、結構、外型等為限,只要可供前述元件組裝固定,均可依據實際需求進行設計上的調整。The
連接殼部102a可以但不限於是以可拆卸地方式銜接於主機殼部101a之一側,另一部分的液體通道40以及另一部分的抽氣通道60則穿出主機殼部101a而容置於連接殼部102a中。第二儲存槽體20可拆卸地設置於連接殼部102a上,且連接殼部102a朝向第二儲存槽體20之一側上設有一孔1021,可用以供液體通道40之一端連接第二儲存槽體20之出液接頭21。藉此,如圖3~4,可將第二儲存槽體20設置於連接殼部102a上時,使得出液接頭21於孔1021處連接液體通道40之一端,從而讓第二儲存槽體20內之粉水可進入液體通道40。The connecting
承載盤103a可以但不限於是以可拆卸地方式連接於主機殼部101a上,且與連接殼部102a位於主機殼部101a之同一側,但位於連接殼部102a之下而與連接殼部102a保持一距離。換句話說,連接殼部102a位於承載盤103a之上而與承載盤103a保持一距離。第一儲存槽體10a適於擺放於承載盤103a上而位於連接殼部102a與承載盤103a之間,也就是說,連接殼部102a與承載盤103a之間的距離可依據第一儲存槽體10a的尺寸進行調整,本發明並非以此為限。The
進一步來看,承載盤103a朝向連接殼部102a的表面上具有一第一導引結構1031,而第一儲存槽體10a之底面上具有一第二導引結構11a,於本實施例或其他實施例中,第一導引結構1031例如是一突塊,而第二導引結構11a例如是一凹槽,且該突塊與凹槽的延伸方向實質上平行於第一儲存槽體10a的裝設方向(如圖2之第一儲存槽體旁的輔助虛線),但本發明並非以第一導引結構1031與第二導引結構11a以及其形狀或形式為限。From a further point of view, the
當第一儲存槽體10a擺放於承載盤103a上時,第二導引結構11a可拆卸地或可滑移地設置於第一導引結構1031上,從而使第一儲存槽體10a被導引至一預備位置。所謂的預備位置,如圖1所示,是指第一儲存槽體10a於設定上可開始進行冷萃時的位置。When the
於本實施例,密封構件70a可活動地固定於殼體100a上,例如是可活動地固定於殼體100a之連接殼部102a朝向承載盤103a之一側。密封構件70a可於第一儲存槽體10a擺放至預備位置時用以覆蓋並封閉第一儲存槽體10a之開口O。並且,於本實施例中,密封構件70a上具有一出液口71以及一抽氣口72,分別連接前述的液體通道40以及抽氣通道60。因此,液體通道40可將水與萃取物之溶液從密封構件70a之出液口71排出,而抽氣通道60可從抽氣口72形成吸引氣流以抽取空氣。In this embodiment, the sealing
由此可知,就液體通道40來看,第二儲存槽體20內之粉水可從其位在連接殼部102a之孔1021的出液接頭21流入液體通道40之一端,閥體30若為開啟,粉水則可隨著液體通道40流過閥體30而流向液體通道40之另一端,從而可接著進入密封構件70a上之出液口71排出,進而從第一儲存槽體10a之開口O流進第一儲存槽體10a。另一方面,就抽氣通道60來看,抽氣裝置50可從抽氣通道60之一端對抽氣通道60進行抽氣而產生吸引氣流,從而在抽氣通道60之另一端,即密封構件70a之抽氣口72產生吸引氣流,以經由第一儲存槽體10a之開口O以抽取第一儲存槽體10a內部的空氣。It can be seen that, from the perspective of the
攪拌組件80,可拆卸地固定於第二儲存槽體20上,且第二儲存槽體20可同時經由攪拌組件80之攪拌組件殼體800而組裝於殼體100a上,例如是組裝於殼體100a之主機殼部101a的頂側。請參閱圖5,係為萃取裝置1a之側剖示意圖。於本實施例或其他實施例中,攪拌組件80還可包含一攪拌構件810、一傳動構件820以及一驅動馬達830。驅動馬達830可裝設於主機殼部101a中,以電性連接控制中心而得以受到控制中心所控制。攪拌構件810可拆卸地固定於攪拌組件80上,當攪拌組件80固定於第二儲存槽體20上時,攪拌構件810可活動地位於第二儲存槽體20中,攪拌構件810例如是一個片狀結構,自第二儲存槽體20的開口向下延伸至第二儲存槽體20的底部處。傳動構件820位於攪拌組件80內,且傳動構件820之一端連接於攪拌構件810,另一端連接於驅動馬達830,從而可連動於攪拌構件810與驅動馬達830之間,以將驅動馬達830之動力傳遞給攪拌構件810,令攪拌構件810可於第二儲存槽體20中進行特定速度的旋轉運動,具體來說,攪拌構件810例如可以第二儲存槽體20之中心線(未繪示)進行繞轉運動,又可以說,攪拌構件810可繞著第二儲存槽體20之中心線轉動,其目的是為了攪動第二儲存槽體20中的粉水。但提醒的是,本發明並非以攪拌構件810之形狀、數量以及其繞轉的速度等為限。The stirring
此外,如圖所示,第二儲存槽體20還可設置一過濾結構22,可用以過濾咖啡粉,以止擋咖啡粉進入液體通道40,從而可避免咖啡粉進入第一儲存槽體,其外型可以但不限於類似倒T型,呈現外圍平坦但中心處向上延伸突出的結構,該突出的結構例如是便於讓使用者抓取以將其自第二儲存槽體20中取出之用,過濾結構22底部周圍與第二儲存槽體20接觸面可以由例如矽膠或橡膠等軟性材質所構成,利用其軟性與彈性等特性以確保過濾結構22安裝在第二儲存槽體20內與第二儲存槽體20內緣完全緊合,以避免咖啡粉從間隙進入液體通道40,但本發明並非以過濾結構22之結構為限,過濾結構22向上延伸突出的結構也不限於位於其中心處。如圖所示,大致上也可將攪拌構件810視為是以過濾結構22之突出結構為旋轉中心線進行繞轉。In addition, as shown in the figure, the second
另外,本發明也非以攪拌組件80的構成與設計為限,例如於其他實施例中,攪拌組件可省略驅動馬達,而從前述自動式組件改為手動式組件,在此情況下,傳動構件可改為自攪拌構件延伸至外部以供使用者抓取操作的結構,使得使用者可藉由抓取並轉動傳動構件的方式來轉動攪拌構件。In addition, the present invention is not limited to the structure and design of the stirring
此外,於本實施例或其他實施例中,萃取裝置1a還可包含一定位偵測器D與一定位偵測器D’,可以但不限於是壓力開關。定位偵測器D設置於殼體100a之主機殼部101a之一側的表面而略為向外突出,且介於連接殼部102a與承載盤103a之間,當第一儲存槽體10a位於預備位置時,第一儲存槽體10a之一側可抵壓定位偵測器D,此時,定位偵測器D可傳送訊號給控制中心,以令控制中心確定第一儲存槽體10a是否已就定位。而定位偵測器D’也是設置於殼體100a之主機殼部101a上,且與定位偵測器D位於主機殼部101a之同一側,但是位於連接殼部102a之上,當第二儲存槽體20組裝於連接殼部102a時,第二儲存槽體20之一側可抵壓定位偵測器D’,此時,定位偵測器D’可傳送訊號給控制中心,以令控制中心確定第二儲存槽體20是否已就定位。補充說明的是,當控指中心未從定位偵測器D與定位偵測器D’接收到第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20安裝定位的訊號,則會透過殼體100a上的燈號提醒使用者。In addition, in this embodiment or other embodiments, the extraction device 1a may also include a positioning detector D and a positioning detector D', which can be but not limited to a pressure switch. The positioning detector D is arranged on the surface of one side of the
但需聲明的是,本發明並非以定位偵測器D與定位偵測器D’的設計或類型為限,例如於其他實施例中,定位偵測器也可改為非接觸式的偵測器,例如是採用雷射或紅外線等方式的光感應偵測器,在此情況下,第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20就定位時,即第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20位於一特定位置時即可觸發定位偵測器而實現確定是否定位的功能,並不需要直接接觸或抵壓偵測器。But it should be stated that the present invention is not limited to the design or type of the positioning detector D and the positioning detector D'. For example, in other embodiments, the positioning detector can also be changed to a non-contact detection. The detector, for example, is a light sensor detector using laser or infrared rays. In this case, when the
接著,請併同圖5再接續參閱圖6A~6B,以觀看萃取裝置1a之密封構件70a的位置切換時的局部放大側剖示意圖。於本實施例中,殼體100a還包含一致動鍵104,設置於連接殼部102a上而暴露於連接殼部102a之表面。並且,萃取裝置1a還包含一彈性件91與一彈性件92,彈性件91設置於連接殼部102a中並夾設於致動鍵104與連接殼部102a之間,從而驅使致動鍵104往遠離連接殼部102a的方向移動;彈性件92設置於連接殼部102a中,並夾設於密封構件70a與連接殼部102a之間,從而驅使密封構件70a往遠離連接殼部102a的方向移動(如驅使密封構件70a往承載盤103a的方向移動)。Next, please refer to FIGS. 6A to 6B in conjunction with FIG. 5 to see a partial enlarged schematic side sectional view of the position of the sealing
詳細來說,致動鍵104具有一推抵斜面1041,而密封構件70a具有一受壓斜面701,可受推抵斜面1041抵壓,當致動鍵104受外力推抵而往連接殼部102a內部移動時,致動鍵104可擠壓彈性件91,並以推抵斜面1041推抵密封構件70a之受壓斜面701,由於推抵斜面1041與受壓斜面701為斜面相接觸,因而推抵致動鍵104的力產生將密封構件70a向上抬升的分力,使得密封構件70a向上擠壓彈性件92,而從下降位置(如圖6A)上升至上抬位置(如圖6B),以暴露出第一儲存槽體10a之開口O。可理解的是,當施加於致動鍵104的外力取消時,彈性件91所累積的彈性位能可驅使致動鍵104復位,而彈性件92所累積的彈性位能可驅使密封構件70a回到下降位置而覆蓋定封閉第一儲存槽體10a之開口O,屆時,前述密封構件70a之出液口71以及抽氣口72僅與第一儲存槽體10a內部空間相連通但不會與萃取裝置1a外界連通。補充說明的是,為了加強密封構件70a對於第一儲存槽體10a的密封效果,密封構件70a可以由例如矽膠或橡膠等軟性材質所構成,利用其軟性與彈性等特性以確實密封第一儲存槽體10a。In detail, the
由前述說明可知,在使用萃取裝置1a的步驟上,使用者可例如先按壓致動鍵104以使密封構件70a上抬,以讓第一儲存槽體10a得以順著第一導引結構1031以及第二導引結構11a的導引而至預備位置以降低操作上的出錯率,屆時,定位偵測器D可受到第一儲存槽體10a的觸壓而通知萃取裝置1a第一儲存槽體10a已就定位,而使用者則可放開致動鍵104以讓密封構件70a下降復位而自動地密封第一儲存槽體10a,接著,可將第二儲存槽體20組裝於殼體100a上,接著將攪拌組件80組裝於殼體100a上,從而封閉萃取裝置1a中流通液體的通路(包含第二儲存槽體20內部空間、液體通道40、第一儲存槽體10a內部空間等)與流通氣體的通路(包含第二儲存槽體20內部空間、抽氣裝置50、抽氣通道60、第一儲存槽體10a內部空間等)。由此可知,使用者只需要簡單的操作流程,即可完成以萃取程序前的準備作業,操作便利且錯誤率低。As can be seen from the foregoing description, in the step of using the extraction device 1a, the user can, for example, first press the
於此,針對所述的操作流程,具體來說如下:使用者可先按下開關鍵以啟動萃取裝置1a;接著透過前述的第一導引結構1031與第二導引結構11a將第一儲存槽體10a導引定位,以使第一儲存槽體10a被密封構件70a密封覆蓋,以及將第二儲存槽體20放至定位,於此,定位偵測器D、D’可自動判斷第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20是否定位,即確認第一儲存槽體10a是否為密封;接著,將過濾結構22(如圖5)放入第二儲存槽體20並加入原料體(如咖啡粉)與液體(如水);接著可安裝攪拌組件80於第二儲存槽體20上以將其攪拌構件810(如圖5)伸入第二儲存槽體20中而至少部分插入液體與原料體的混合物中,屆時即完成冷萃程序的前置作業(即負壓抽取程序前的準備作業)。Here, the operation flow is specifically as follows: the user can first press the switch key to activate the extraction device 1a; and then use the aforementioned
接著,使用者即可觸壓萃取開始鍵以令萃取裝置1a執行萃取程序,請搭配前述圖式以及圖7,圖7為本發明之萃取方法之流程圖,首先,步驟S01,偵測第二儲存槽體20儲存該混合物,詳細來說,於步驟S01中,可利用第二儲存槽體20內或上之感測器(未繪示)以偵測第二儲存槽體20是否儲存前述液體與原料體的混合物,或是更進一步地偵測第二儲存槽體20是否儲存足量的混合物,其結果同時也可做為前述冷萃程序之前置作業是否完成的判斷依據之一。若判斷第二儲存槽體20沒有儲存該混合物或沒有儲存足量的混合物,該感測器可傳送訊號給控制中心,而控制中心則可再透過燈號提醒使用者,以讓使用者得知是否尚未加入混合物或欲進行該次萃取的混合物量不足等情況。其中需說明的是,本發明並非以前述第二儲存槽體20上用於偵測混合物的感測器以及其原理、以及前述「足量」混合物的實際數值為限。Then, the user can touch the extraction start button to make the extraction device 1a execute the extraction process, please match the aforementioned figure and FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the extraction method of the present invention. First, step S01, detect the second The
若步驟S01判斷第二儲存槽體20儲存有混合物或足量混合物,則接著至步驟S02以執行一攪拌程序,以令攪拌構件810於第二儲存槽體20中活動,從而攪拌第二儲存槽體20中的混合物。詳細來說,於步驟S02時,控制中心可驅動馬達830開始運轉,以通過傳動構件820驅使攪拌構件810開始攪拌第二儲存槽體20中的混合物並持續一特定時間,但補充的是,攪拌構件810相對第二儲存槽體20活動或轉動的速率、時間與方式等可依實際需求進行調整,本發明並非以此為限。If it is determined in step S01 that the second
接著,至步驟S03,對第一儲存槽體10a執行一降壓程序。詳細來說,降壓程序是指控制中心令抽氣裝置50開始運轉,以經由抽氣通道60逐漸抽取第一儲存槽體10a內之氣體而使第一儲存槽體10a之內壓逐漸下降的程序。其中,降壓程序可以固定或變動等合適的減壓率進行,本發明並非以此為限。Then, go to step S03 to perform a pressure reduction procedure on the first
接著,於步驟S04,判斷第一儲存槽體10a之內壓是否小於或等於預定壓力值。若否,即當第一儲存槽體10a之內壓判斷為大於該預定壓力值時,表示第一儲存槽體10a之內壓未達預定壓力值,或者說,表示第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20之間的壓力差值尚未達到本次萃取的要求,此時則回到步驟S03以繼續對第一儲存槽體10a執行降壓程序。並且,在第一儲存槽體10a內部壓力下降至小於或等於預定壓力之前,閥體30保持為關閉狀態,以阻止粉水在第一儲存槽體10a內部壓力達到預定壓力之前就從第二儲存槽體20經由液體通道40流入第一儲存槽體10a。Next, in step S04, it is determined whether the internal pressure of the
於步驟S04的判斷結果為是,即當第一儲存槽體10a之內壓判斷為小於或等於該預定壓力值時,表示第一儲存槽體10a之內壓已達或低於預定壓力值,或者說,表示第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20之間的壓力差值已達或超過本次萃取的要求,此時,則接著執行步驟S05,開啟閥體30,以使第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20經由閥體30的開啟而連通,使得第二儲存槽體20內之原料體的萃取物受到第一儲存槽體10a與第二儲存槽體20之間的壓力差驅使而快速地萃取出來,並經由液體通道40而隨著液體一併流入第一儲存槽體10a,從而成為將最終的冷萃咖啡而蒐集於第一儲存槽體10a中。The judgment result in step S04 is yes, that is, when the internal pressure of the
但前述的操作流程與萃取方法僅為舉例說明之用,其順序或部分的步驟可依據使用者喜好進行調整或省略,例如使用者也可將第一與第二儲存槽體都安裝定位及將液體與原料體填裝完畢後再觸壓開關鍵以啟動萃取裝置,或者在一些不需要將原料體與液體進行攪拌的情況中,萃取方法也可省略前述的步驟S02而不執行攪拌程序,又或者在一些實施例中,萃取方法也可省略步驟S01而無需偵測第二儲存槽體是否儲存混合物,本發明並非以這些調整為限。However, the aforementioned operation flow and extraction method are only for illustrative purposes. The sequence or part of the steps can be adjusted or omitted according to the user's preference. For example, the user can also install and position both the first and second storage tanks and After the liquid and the raw material are filled, touch the key to start the extraction device, or in some cases where the raw material and the liquid do not need to be stirred, the extraction method can also omit the aforementioned step S02 without performing the stirring procedure. Or in some embodiments, the extraction method can also omit step S01 without detecting whether the second storage tank body stores the mixture, and the present invention is not limited to these adjustments.
此外,補充說明的是,前述於抽氣裝置50開始抽氣前對第二儲存槽體20內的粉水進行攪拌的程序對於萃取率有正向幫助。舉例來說,如下表一,本實驗是以肯亞咖啡豆為實驗標的,其粉水比例、水溫等條件均相同,其中,總溶解固體(Total Dissolved solids,TDS)是用於表示水中可溶性物質與水的比例,即咖啡液體中含咖啡的比例,即TDS(%)=萃取物重量(g)/咖啡液容量(ml),而萃取率BRIX(%)=萃取物重量(g)/咖啡粉重量(g)。可看出,在浸濕時間相同第1~3組中,攪拌的增加對萃取率有正向表現;而在攪拌相同的第2、4~5中,浸濕時間較長對於萃取率有正向表現。In addition, it is supplemented that the aforementioned procedure of stirring the powder and water in the second
表一Table I
但需補充說明的是,在第二儲存槽體20內的粉水已為攪拌完成的狀態或是無需要攪拌即可直接執行負壓抽取程序的情況,萃取程序也可省略前述的攪拌程序,本發明並非以此為限。However, it should be supplemented that if the powder water in the second

有別於前述實施例地,於本實施例中,萃取裝置1b包含一殼體100b與密封構件70b。其中,密封構件70b是可拆卸地固定於第一儲存槽體10a上以密封其開口O;殼體100b包含一連接殼部102b,連接殼部102b朝向承載盤103a的一側設置有二第一對位結構1021b,而密封構件70b背向第一儲存槽體10a的一側上具有二第二對位結構702,於本實施例或其他實施例中,第一對位結構1021b例如是凹槽,而第二對位結構702例如是突塊,但本發明並非以第一對位結構1021b與第二對位結構702、以及其他形狀或形式為限。當第一儲存槽體10a擺放於承載盤103a上時,第二對位結構702可拆卸地或可滑移地設置於第一對位結構1021b上,從而使第一儲存槽體10a導引至預備位置(如圖8所示),進而使密封構件70b之出液口71與抽氣口72分別對準液體通道40與抽氣通道60之端口,即可完成將第一儲存槽體10a之內部形成密閉空間的準備工作。Different from the foregoing embodiment, in this embodiment, the

For example, please refer to FIGS. 16-17. FIG. 16 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of an extraction device according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 17 is a partial schematic diagram of the interior of the extraction device of Fig. 16. This embodiment proposes an
有別於前述實施例地,於本實施例中,萃取裝置1d包含一殼體100d、一抽液通道41以及一第一儲存槽體10b。其中,殼體100d包含一主機殼部101c、一連接殼部102d以及一承載盤103b,第一儲存槽體10b改為設置於主機殼部101c內,液體通道40不穿入連接殼部102d而是整個容置於殼體100d中,而抽液通道41之一端可拆卸地連通第一儲存槽體10b,另一端設置於連接殼部102d並從連接殼部102d朝向承載盤103b之一側連通於外,因此,位於殼體100d中的第一儲存槽體10b可經由抽液通道41連通於外。於本實施例中,萃取裝置1d之主機殼部101c中可設置連接於抽液通道41的一泵(未繪示),用以經由抽液通道41將第一儲存槽體10b中之水與萃取物的溶液抽出於外。如圖所示,例如可將溶液導引出自承載盤103b上的杯體93。Different from the foregoing embodiment, in this embodiment, the
藉此,第一儲存槽體10b可做為冷萃咖啡的暫時保存的空間,以隨時供使用者使用。在此情況下,可藉由增加本實施例之萃取裝置1d的整體尺寸以容置更大容量的第一儲存槽體10b,從而增加萃取裝置1d中冷萃咖啡的存量。藉此,萃取裝置1d相較於前述實施例將有較大量且充足的冷萃咖啡存量,以利於長時間且需隨時供應冷萃咖啡的銷售業者來使用。並且,為了便於取放第一儲存槽體10b,主機殼部101c之一側的板材可作為可拆卸式的設計,以讓使用者可將主機殼部101c打開而拿取第一儲存槽體10b,但本發明並非以如何打開主機殼部101c以及開啟主機殼部101c之機構的設計為限。In this way, the
由本發明前述實施例所示之萃取裝置與萃取方法,抽氣裝置可對第一儲存槽體先進行氣體抽取,以使第一儲存槽體之內壓先下降至預定壓力值後再將閥體開啟,藉此第一儲存槽體與第二儲存槽體可因負壓而產生足夠的壓力差,使得原料體中之萃取物得以受到壓力差的驅使而快速地被萃取出來並一併流入第一儲存槽體,經實驗,這樣的負壓抽取程序可於短時間內萃出原料體中的芬芳物質。According to the extraction device and the extraction method shown in the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, the gas extraction device can extract gas from the first storage tank first, so that the internal pressure of the first storage tank first drops to a predetermined pressure value before the valve body Open, so that the first storage tank body and the second storage tank body can generate a sufficient pressure difference due to the negative pressure, so that the extract in the raw material body can be driven by the pressure difference to be quickly extracted and flowed into the second storage tank. A storage tank, through experiments, such a negative pressure extraction procedure can extract the fragrant substances in the raw material in a short time.
舉例來說,如應用於冷萃咖啡時,藉由負壓而產生足夠的壓力差,可強迫並加速咖啡粉(即原料體)之微小孔隙中的芬芳物質(即萃取物)在短時間內被萃取出來。使得整體流程包含攪拌、浸濕、萃取,約僅需要5分鐘即可完成。For example, when applied to cold brew coffee, a sufficient pressure difference generated by the negative pressure can force and accelerate the fragrant substances (ie extracts) in the tiny pores of the coffee powder (ie the raw material) in a short time Was extracted. The overall process includes stirring, soaking, and extraction, which can be completed in about 5 minutes.
相較於傳統上透過長時間等待芬芳物質從咖啡粉孔隙自然擴散溶入水中的冷萃手段,本發明之萃取裝置可大幅降低萃取時間,甚至大幅度縮短至僅約數分鐘,從而可實現立即食用而不需要提前大量製作庫存、節省冰箱使用空間以及降低製作之用電成本等優點,並且,由於咖啡粉與水接觸的時間短,還可大幅降低雜質因浸泡時間過長而一併溶入水中而影響風味的機率。Compared with the traditional cold extraction method that waits for a long time for the aromatic substances to diffuse naturally from the pores of the coffee powder and dissolve into the water, the extraction device of the present invention can greatly reduce the extraction time, even to only a few minutes, so as to realize immediate consumption There is no need to make a large amount of inventory in advance, save the space of the refrigerator, and reduce the cost of electricity for making. Moreover, because the coffee powder is in contact with water for a short time, it can also greatly reduce impurities that dissolve into the water due to too long soaking time And affect the probability of flavor.
並且,由於各種對於咖啡風味以及咖啡豆種的不同需求,本發明之萃取裝置中可記錄針對各種風味與咖啡豆種的冷萃模板,例如為了凸顯特定咖啡豆種之特定風味而將其需要攪拌、浸濕以及萃取的時間等操作訊息製作成模板,以供日後使用者快速選取。此外,因為飲品製作上的需求,如製作成濃縮液以供後續加入其他調味原料,或是製作成直接飲用的飲品,或是在各家門市有其特定風味之調整,皆可以針對粉水比、攪拌、浸濕以及萃取的時間做調整,從而得到不同的萃取意結果。In addition, due to various different requirements for coffee flavor and coffee beans, the extraction device of the present invention can record cold extraction templates for various flavors and coffee beans, for example, to highlight the specific flavor of specific coffee beans and need to be stirred , Soaking and extraction time and other operational information are made into templates for users to quickly select in the future. In addition, because of the needs of beverage production, such as making a concentrated liquid for subsequent addition of other flavoring materials, or making it into a drink for direct drinking, or having its specific flavor adjustment in each store, it can be adjusted for the powder-water ratio. Adjust the time of stirring, soaking and extraction to obtain different extraction results.
此外,於一些實施例中,提供有密封構件以將第一儲存槽體進行密封,以提升負壓抽取程序的效率。相應地,於部分實施例中,第一儲存槽體與殼體上設置有相互對應的導引、對位結構,以利於讓使用者快速且低錯誤率地將第一儲存槽體擺放至預備位置。In addition, in some embodiments, a sealing member is provided to seal the first storage tank to improve the efficiency of the negative pressure extraction procedure. Correspondingly, in some embodiments, the first storage tank and the housing are provided with corresponding guiding and positioning structures to facilitate the user to place the first storage tank quickly and with low error rate. Preparation position.
另外,本發明前述實施例所述之萃取裝置也可應用於冷萃茶,甚或是應用於熱萃咖啡或熱萃茶,但由於咖啡粉內之可溶性物質(即芬芳物質或萃取物)在高水溫的環境更容易被溶解,此外,熱萃咖啡要求不同的萃取率(TDS 1.15~1.3為佳),因此,因應熱萃方式調整粉水比、攪拌、浸泡及萃取時間,即可快速達到預定的萃取率。In addition, the extraction device described in the foregoing embodiments of the present invention can also be applied to cold brewing tea, or even to hot brewing coffee or hot brewing tea, but because the soluble substances (that is, fragrant substances or extracts) in coffee powder are high The environment of water temperature is easier to dissolve. In addition, hot brew coffee requires different extraction rates (TDS 1.15~1.3 is better). Therefore, according to the hot extraction method, adjust the powder-water ratio, stirring, soaking and extraction time, and you can quickly achieve The predetermined extraction rate.
