Embodiment approach

[0075] According to an embodiment, the actuator 5x comprises:

[0076] - a first end 50 comprising a first deformable surface 51 configured to receive a pressing action F from a user;

[0077] - a second end 52 comprising a second deformable surface 53 in physical contact with said pressure sensor 6x; and

[0078] - An elongated portion 54 extending between the first end 50 and the second end 52 .

[0079] The elongated portion 54 is configured to transfer the pressure generated at said first end 50 to the second end 52 such that when a pressing action F is applied to the first deformable surface 51, the pressure is transferred through the elongated portion 54 to the second end 52. The second deformable surface 53 is applied to the pressure sensor 6x.

[0080] According to reference figure 2 In the described embodiment, the actuator 5x comprises a third end 55 comprising a surface 56, and a second elongated portion 57 extending between said first end 50 and said third end ...

Abstract

Provided is an interface system for a food or beverage preparation machine. The interface system for a food or beverage preparation machine comprises a control panel (5), the control panel (5) comprising an actuator (5x) for setting at least one food or beverage preparation parameter of the food or beverage preparation machine (1) to a predetermined value and a controlling unit, comprises a pressure sensor (6x) electronically connected to said controlling unit for controlling the functioning of the food or beverage preparation machine, and associated with said actuator, said actuator (5x) being pressure-sensitive and comprising a first end (50) with a first deformable surface (51) which is configured to receive a press action (F) from a user, a second end (52) with a second deformable surface (53) which is in physical contact with said pressure sensor (6x), and an elongate portion (54) connecting said first end (50) and said second end (52), said elongate portion (54) being configured to transfer to said second end (52) a pressure that has been generated at said first end (50), such that when a press action (F) is applied to said first deformable surface (51), said pressure is transferred to said second deformable surface (53) by said elongate portion and is applied to said pressure sensor (6x) so as to set said at least one food or beverage preparation parameter.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to food or beverage preparation machines, and more precisely to interface systems for such food preparation machines. Background technique [0002] Liquid food or beverage preparation machines are well known in the fields of food science and consumer goods. Such machines allow consumers to prepare a given type of food or beverage at home, for example coffee beverages such as espresso or filter coffee. [0003] Today, many home beverage preparation machines include systems that accommodate portioned beverage ingredients. These portions may typically be contained in pods, bags or capsules. [0004] The machine includes a receptacle or chamber for containing the portioned beverage ingredients and a fluid injection system for injecting a fluid, such as water, under pressure into the pod or capsule. Thus, a fluid (such as hot or cold water) passes through the capsule or pod and delivers the liquid food or drink. [0005] Be...
