Problems solved by technology
These problems become intense if the beverage machine is used in tropical conditions (for example at 30°C with 70% relative humidity): the machine may clog within a week
Therefore spray dried instant coffee cannot be used with the above machines

Embodiment Construction
[0033] figure 1 The beverage preparation machine according to the present invention is shown, from which the housing panel has been removed to make the internal components clearer. The machine includes a beverage ingredient powder storage container 1, the storage container 1 in figure 1 Made in China is transparent. A device for dosing powder is placed at the bottom of the container 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the dosing device is an auger 3 actuated by a motor 31, but any other auger, such as a spring auger, can also be used. The axis XX' of the auger is preferably oriented so as to drive the beverage ingredient powder upwards, and as shown, the axis XX' is preferably at an angle α of approximately 20° to the horizontal. The auger 3 at the bottom of the beverage ingredient powder storage container 1 guides the powder to the outlet 11 of the storage container. The outlet 11 can be opened or closed by the door 41 by means of the door opening assembly 4. When the auger i...

The invention concerns a beverage preparation machine comprising : - a beverage ingredient powder storing container (1), - a mixing chamber (2), said mixing chamber being movable between : . a dosing position, where the outlet (11) of the storing container emerges in the mixing chamber inlet (21), and . a mixing position, where the outlet (11) of the storing container does not emerge in the mixing chamber inlet. the dosing position being placed at a lower vertical position than the mixing position, and wherein the machine comprises an auger (3) at the bottom of the beverage ingredient powder storing container configured for guiding a dose of powder to the outlet (11) of the storing container, wherein the machine comprises a door (41) at the outlet (11) of the storing container, said door being configured so that when the mixing chamber (2) moves to the dosing position the movement of the mixing chamber activates the opening of said door and when the mixing chamber moves to the mixing position the movement of the mixing chamber induces the closure of the door.
Description
Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a machine for preparing beverages by mixing beverage soluble powder with diluents. Background technique [0002] WO2009 / 153157 describes a beverage dispensing machine for preparing beverages by metering a certain dose of beverage powder ingredients and delivering the dose into a mixing chamber, where the powder is mixed with a diluent. The mixing chamber is movable between a first metering position and a second mixing position away from the first position. At the first metering position, the mixing chamber is placed below the outlet of the dosing device to receive a dose of powder. At the second mixing position, the diluent is introduced into the mixing chamber and the beverage is prepared and delivered. This machine has the advantage of avoiding the problem of introducing steam in the dosing device because the diluent is introduced in the mixing chamber when the mixing chamber is not located near the dosing device. WO2009...
