Description

[0001] The invention relates to a hot beverage preparation device, in particular a built-in fully automatic coffee machine, comprising a front surface, a partial surface of the front surface, a mounting device, a dispensing device and a dispensing area above the mounting device, wherein the partial surface in a basic position at least partially covers the dispensing area, and wherein the partial surface is movable relative to the mounting device and / or the dispensing device and can be brought into an operating position in which it releases the dispensing area.

[0002] The front panel of a hot beverage preparation unit is very easily accessible to the user. Especially with built-in fully automatic coffee machines, it is the only accessible surface. All other surfaces of the unit are surrounded by furniture components in built-in machines and not directly visible in freestanding models. Since the user can only directly see and operate one surface, its appearance represents the entire machine. Therefore, this front panel must combine all the functions of the fully automatic machine with the most appealing design possible. The front panel typically includes a dispensing area where containers can be placed and hot beverages can be poured into them. This dispensing area can be contaminated, for example, by splashes of liquids that may occur during dispensing or cleaning.This detracts from the device's appealing appearance and can create the impression of a less than hygienic environment. This can result in considerable cleaning effort for the user.

[0003] From EP 2 946 703 A1, a built-in fully automatic coffee machine for household use is known as a generic hot beverage preparation device. The coffee machine comprises a front section with a dispensing section and an adjacent supply section. The dispensing section includes a dispensing area that extends into the built-in coffee machine below a dispensing device. The supply section includes a service area in which the supply and disposal containers are accessible. When not in use, the dispensing section is concealed by a sliding door, which can be slid over the supply section for use. US 6 357 342 B1 also discloses a coffee machine with rotatably movable sliding doors that define an outward boundary of the dispensing area. Similar machines are known, for example, from US 4 815 633 A and JP S52-3 496 U.

[0004] The appliances adjacent to a fully automatic coffee machine, such as ovens or microwaves, as well as the neighboring kitchen furniture, typically have continuous, flat fronts. This makes the front surfaces of these appliances and furniture very easy to clean. The dispensing area clearly distinguishes the front of the coffee machine from the fronts of neighboring appliances and furniture, both in appearance and in the effort required for its cleaning. Nevertheless, the dispensing area is essential for using the machine. Therefore, the aforementioned cleaning effort cannot be avoided with these types of machines.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a hot beverage preparation device, in particular a built-in fully automatic coffee machine, which is characterized by simplified manufacturing and cleaning of the dispensing area.

[0006] This problem is solved by a hot beverage preparation device with the features of claim 1 and by a hot beverage preparation device with the features of claim 2. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0007] According to the invention, a hot beverage preparation device, in particular a fully automatic coffee machine, comprises a front surface, a partial surface of the front surface, a mounting device, a dispensing device, and a dispensing area above the mounting device, wherein the partial surface at least partially covers the dispensing area in its home position. The partial surface is movable relative to the mounting device and / or the dispensing device and can be brought into an operating position in which it exposes the dispensing area. According to the invention, in its operating position, the partial surface limits the dispensing area in at least one direction, towards the interior of the hot beverage preparation device. Thus, a portion of the dispensing area can advantageously be formed directly by the partial surface of the front surface. In its home position, however, the partial surface is a flush component of the front surface.In this position, it covers the dispensing area, rendering it and the stand inaccessible to the user. This partial surface can advantageously fulfill the function of both covering the dispensing area in its home position and limiting it in its operating position. This reduces the number and / or complexity of components required for the front panel and dispensing area. As a result, the front panel can be manufactured more simply and / or cost-effectively. Furthermore, any contamination, such as splashes of beverages or cleaning fluids, can be easily removed when the partial surface is in its home position. In this home position, the front panel, and therefore the dispensing area of ​​the hot beverage dispenser, can be cleaned just as easily as the fronts of adjacent appliances and / or furniture.This simplifies both the production and cleaning of the dispensing area.

[0008] The dispensing area above the display unit can be equipped for containers into which hot beverages and / or cleaning, care, and / or dishwashing agents can be dispensed. Dispensing can occur through at least one dispensing opening in the display unit into one or more containers placed below on the display unit. The dispensing area extends, particularly from the perspective of a user standing in front of and looking at the hot beverage dispenser, into its front surface. When not in use, the functional units can be arranged flush with the front surface and / or integrated into it in their default position. The resulting gap pattern can accentuate the functional units when the hot beverage dispenser is not in use, without disrupting the overall smooth appearance.The front surface, and in particular the partial surface, can be made of a solid material and therefore cannot be penetrated by a user under normal handling. They can be made of glass, plastic, metal, and / or ceramic materials.

[0009] The interior of a hot beverage preparation unit is defined as an area containing components, parts, and / or assemblies that a user should not, cannot, and / or must not access. This area may contain, for example, live, mechanically moving, or thermally heated components, parts, and / or assemblies. These may pose a potential hazard to a user upon contact. Therefore, it is essential to prevent users from accessing this area, particularly from reaching inside. Access to such an area can be prevented by a barrier. In conventional hot beverage preparation units, this is achieved by a housing. Such a housing is permanently fixed to the user and confines the interior of the hot beverage preparation unit.This housing prevents users from accessing areas with potentially dangerous components in conventional devices.

[0010] In a solution according to the invention, the partial surface is movable from the home position to the operating position and / or from the operating position to the home position perpendicular to the front surface, in particular translationally. The partial surface only needs to be moved in one direction in space, so that the movement can be implemented in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner, and preferably also with precision and / or in a space-saving manner. Likewise, the dispensing area in the spatial configuration according to this further development can closely resemble the dispensing area of ​​conventional hot beverage preparation devices. When the partial surface is moved to the home position, it can also be cleaned particularly easily and with minimal effort. Cleaning the partial surface is therefore simpler than with conventional hot beverage preparation devices.

[0011] In an alternative solution according to the invention, the surface has two partial surfaces that are rotatably movable about an axis from the home position to the operating position and / or from the operating position to the home position. This significantly reduces the overall space required for the movement of the surface. In an area near the respective axis, the partial surfaces move only slightly when viewed perpendicular to the front surface. Furthermore, the movements can be achieved by particularly space-saving joint mechanisms or by space-saving rotation about a shaft or an axial extension of a partial surface. Easier cleaning of the surface can thus be achieved with a smaller space requirement.

[0012] The movement of the sub-surface can be achieved in particular through precisely operating linear guides, cost-effectively manufactured rails, space-saving telescopic devices, or space-saving articulated joints. Furthermore, the movement can be actuated by spring mechanisms, which reduce the force required for movement, and / or slowed by damping devices, which improve the feel of the movement. The movements can be particularly advantageously supported and / or damped by easily installed retraction systems.

[0013] In an advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, the dispensing device can be arranged behind the front surface, outside the partial surface, and the dispensing device and / or at least one dispensing opening can be adjusted vertically and / or horizontally relative to the mounting device, at least for dispensing beverages, and in particular, automatically adjustable telescopically towards a container. This further simplifies the movement of the partial surface and / or the partial surfaces, thus reducing the effort required for their implementation. Furthermore, containers placed underneath can be filled even more reliably. Contamination, such as splashes of liquids, can be further reduced, and cleaning of the front surface can be made even easier. The effort required to keep the front surface clean can thus be further reduced.

[0014] In a further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, the partial surface and / or one of the partial surfaces covers a service section, at least in the home and operating positions, in particular in such a way that it is inaccessible to a user. This advantageously forms a cover for the service section by the partial surface of the front surface and / or the partial surfaces. The service section can include elements for service operations. In particular, it can include service containers such as a water tank, bean tank, and waste container, and / or components that can be removed for cleaning. In its home position, the partial surface can be flush with the front surface, thereby facilitating cleaning. Furthermore, through a combination of functions, the partial surface and / or the partial surfaces cover the service section in both the home and operating positions, rendering it inaccessible to the user.The assembly of the device front panel, including the dispensing area and service section, therefore requires fewer and / or less complex components overall. This reduces manufacturing costs and / or simplifies the production of the front panel. Any contamination can be easily removed when the panel is moved to its home position. This simplifies both manufacturing and cleaning.

[0015] In a further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, the partial surface and / or one of the partial surfaces can be moved into a service position, in which it makes the service section accessible to the user. The partial surface of the front surface and / or the partial surfaces can assume an additional function in this position. In addition to the access to the service section, cleaning of the partial surface and / or the partial surfaces can be further simplified in this position. Cleaning can be facilitated, in particular, at the edges of the surfaces and at the corners and edges of the surfaces. The service section is also accessible for cleaning in the service position. The same means can be used for moving the surface into the service position as for moving it between the home and operating positions.This makes the construction of the hot beverage preparation system simpler and more cost-effective.

[0016] In a further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, an activation device triggers an automatic movement of the sub-surface and / or partial sub-surfaces from the home position to the operating position and / or from the operating position back to the home position when the hot beverage preparation unit is activated and / or deactivated. This simultaneously increases ease of use and facilitates cleaning of the front surface. When the hot beverage preparation unit is activated, access to the dispensing area can thus be automatically enabled. A user does not need to perform any further action and can directly, for example, place a container and dispense a beverage. When the hot beverage preparation unit is deactivated, the movement back to the home position can be triggered automatically. This allows the front surface of the unit to be cleaned directly and very easily in the deactivated state.The front panel also looks very appealing when deactivated.

[0017] The activation device can alternatively or additionally, particularly during activation and / or deactivation, trigger the adjustment of the dispensing unit and / or the at least one dispensing opening vertically and / or horizontally relative to the base. This further simplifies cleaning the front surface. The ease of use of the hot beverage preparation unit can also be further improved as a result.

[0018] In a further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, the activation device triggers the activation or deactivation of the hot beverage preparation device when the sub-surface and / or one of the partial sub-surfaces is activated and / or deactivated. On the one hand, this allows a user to automatically gain access to the dispensing area and to easily clean the front surface when the device is deactivated. On the other hand, it enables particularly intuitive operation of the hot beverage preparation device. A user associates the dispensing area with the dispensing of beverages in a special way. The user can intuitively link a cover of the dispensing area, realized by the sub-surface and / or one of the partial sub-surfaces, with the dispensing of beverages. The attention of a user intending to obtain a beverage can therefore be automatically focused on the sub-surface and / or one of the partial sub-surfaces.Activating or deactivating the hot beverage dispensing unit by activating and / or deactivating the sub-surface and / or one of the partial sub-surfaces allows for particularly intuitive operation. The hot beverage dispensing unit can therefore be operated easily, conveniently, and intuitively, and cleaned just as easily and conveniently.

[0019] In a further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, a cleaning, maintenance, and / or rinsing process can be carried out with the partial surface and / or partial surfaces in their home position. This allows the cleaning, maintenance, and / or rinsing process to be performed on a side of the partial surface and / or partial surfaces of the front surface facing away from the user. A side of the partial surface and / or partial surfaces facing the user is therefore effectively protected from contamination such as splashes of cleaning, maintenance, and / or rinsing fluids. Cleaning of the partial surface and / or partial surfaces of the front surface is therefore no longer necessary, or only to a significantly reduced extent or with reduced frequency. The effort required to keep the front surface clean can thus be further reduced, and cleaning can be made even easier and simpler.

[0020] In a further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, a cleaning element is arranged in a region of the partial surface and / or at least one partial partial surface and acts as a cleaning element on a mounting surface of the mounting device during movement between the home position and the operating position. In particular, the mounting surface can be a surface of the mounting device or a part of the mounting device facing the user. The mounting surface is therefore automatically cleaned of contaminants such as liquid droplets during movement between the home position and the operating position. On the one hand, this conveniently and effectively prevents any contaminants such as liquid droplets, e.g., after dispensing a beverage, from adhering and drying during movement from the operating position to the home position. On the other hand, contaminants such as...Liquid droplets from cleaning, maintenance, and / or rinsing processes are automatically removed. This further reduces cleaning effort and increases ease of use.

[0021] The principle of the invention will be explained in more detail below using a drawing as an example. The drawing shows: Fig. 1: A perspective view of a first design of a non-installed hot beverage preparation device, with the partial surface in an operating position, Fig. 2: a representation as in Fig. 1, with the partial area in a basic position, Fig. 3: a cross-sectional view of the hot beverage preparation equipment Fig. 2 in side view, with the partial surface in the basic position, Fig. 4: a representation as in Fig. 3, with the partial area in the operating position, Fig. 5: a representation as in Fig. 3, with the partial area in a service position, Fig. 6: A perspective view of a built-in hot beverage preparation unit, showing the partial area in the operating position, Fig. 7: a representation as in Fig. 6, with the partial area in the service position, Fig. 8: a perspective view of a second embodiment of a built-in hot beverage preparation device, with two partial surfaces in the basic position, and Fig. 9: a representation like Fig. 8, with partial sub-areas in the operating position.

[0022] The Fig. Figures 1 to 7 each show a representation of a first embodiment of a hot beverage preparation device designed as a built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1. This device has a front surface 2 with a partial surface 21 of the front surface 2, as shown in particular in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 evident. In the Fig. Figures 6 to 9 show the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1 in a typical installation situation. Vertical and horizontal lines indicate the fronts of adjacent furniture. In these illustrations, the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1 is also shown above a warming drawer for heating cups and / or dishes. The front of this warming drawer can be, as shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 9, a lower section of the front surface 2 of the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1 is also covered. This allows the front design of the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1 to be achieved with fewer joints.

[0023] The built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1 has a mounting device 3, a dispensing device 4, and a dispensing area 6 between the mounting device 3 and the dispensing device 4. Fig. Figure 1 shows the sub-area 21 in an operating position in which it exposes the dispensing area 6. This gives a user access to the dispensing area 6. This area extends in three dimensions. A user can therefore place one or more identical and / or differently designed containers 5 in this area, e.g., to have them filled with beverages from the dispensing device 4. Two of the dimensions extend along the front surface 2. The first dimension extends horizontally along an edge of the mounting device 3. The second dimension extends vertically at a left or right end of the mounting device 3. The third dimension extends towards an interior 7 of the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1, which is shown in Fig. 3 is evident. From the perspective of a user standing in front of and looking at the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1, the third dimension extends into the front surface 2. This corresponds to in Fig. 3 of an extension from right to left. The output area 6 is bounded downwards by the mounting device 3, in particular by a mounting surface 8 of the mounting device 3. Laterally and upwards, the output area 6 is bounded by edge surfaces not shown.

[0024] The sub-area 21 is movable relative to the mounting device 3 and the output device 4 and can be positioned in a Fig. 2 and Fig. The basic position shown in section 3 can be moved. In the basic position, the sub-area 21 covers the output area 6. In the Fig. 1 and Fig. In the operating position shown in Figure 4, the partial surface 21 exposes the dispensing area 6 and borders it towards an interior 7 of the hot beverage preparation unit 1. The front surface 2 and the partial surface 21 are made of tempered safety glass, so that a user cannot penetrate them during normal handling. Therefore, a user has no access to the dispensing area 6 in the basic position. In this position, the Fig. 2 and Fig. In the basic position shown in Figure 3, the sub-area 21 serves as a cover for the dispensing area. In the operating position, the sub-area 21 serves as a boundary between the dispensing area 6 and the interior 7 of the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1, as shown in the figures. Fig. 1 and Fig. Figure 4 shows that the interior 7 contains components that must not be accessible to a user, as they may be live or thermally heated. Since a user cannot penetrate the partial surface 21 during normal handling, it effectively protects them from potential hazards that could arise from the live or heated components inside 7. In the operating position, contamination of the partial surface 21, such as splashes of beverages or cleaning fluids, cannot be completely avoided. To clean the front surface 2, the partial surface 21 can be moved to its home position. As shown in Figure 4, the partial surface 21 can be moved to its home position. Fig. As can be seen in Figure 3, the front surface 2 and the sub-surface 21 lie on the same plane in this position and can therefore be easily cleaned in one step, e.g., by simply wiping. The front surface 2, and thus also the dispensing area 6 of the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1, can be cleaned in this basic position as easily as the fronts of neighboring appliances and / or adjacent furniture. The entire appliance front is constructed from a few, and moreover simply designed, components and is therefore very easy and cost-effective to manufacture.

[0025] In the Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. Figure 5 shows a rail that can be manufactured inexpensively, schematically represented by horizontal dashed lines. Along two such rails, the sub-surface 21 can be moved very easily translationally perpendicular to the front surface 2 from the home position to the operating position and from the operating position to the home position. For this purpose, the rails are connected on one side to the right and left edge regions of the sub-surface 21 (as viewed from the front) and on the other side to the interior 7 of the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1, which is not shown in the figures.

[0026] To facilitate and simplify the movement of the sub-surface 21 between the home and operating positions, the dispensing device 4 can be arranged behind the front surface 2, outside the sub-surface 21. The dispensing device 4, and with it a dispensing opening 9, is also automatically adjustable vertically and horizontally relative to the mounting device 3 to facilitate the dispensing of a beverage into several different containers 5. For this purpose, the dispensing opening 9 can be adjusted telescopically towards a container 5 freely positioned on the mounting surface 8. The telescopic adjustment is described in the Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. Figure 5 is shown only schematically. All components required for beverage preparation and the transport of the beverage components to the dispensing opening 9 are contained in the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1, but are known in themselves and are not shown in any of the figures.

[0027] As particularly in Fig. 3 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 4, sub-area 21, in both its basic and operating positions, renders service section 14 inaccessible to a user. To gain access to service section 14, the user can move sub-area 21 into a position that is Fig. 5 and Fig. The service position shown in Figure 7 is brought into position 7. In addition to providing access to service section 14, cleaning of sub-area 21 is even easier in this position. Cleaning is further simplified, particularly at the edges, corners, and corners of sub-area 21. Service section 14 is also accessible for cleaning in this position. The same rails are used for moving into the service position as for moving between the home and operating positions. Service section 14 comprises, as shown in Figure 7, the following: Fig. Figure 7 shows a schematic representation of a water reservoir and a bean container on the top side, with water on the right and coffee beans on the left. Service section 14 also includes a milk container on the left side. These containers can be filled in the service position and removed for filling or cleaning.

[0028] When the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1 is activated, the following occurs: Fig. The activation device 11, shown schematically in Figure 6, automatically moves the sub-surface 21 from its home position to its operating position. When the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1 is deactivated, e.g., after dispensing a beverage, the activation device 11 again automatically triggers the movement of the sub-surface 21 from its operating position to its home position. Furthermore, the activation device 11 also activates or deactivates the hot beverage preparation unit 1 when the sub-surface 21 is activated or deactivated, in this case by lightly tapping the sub-surface 21. During deactivation, a cleaning, maintenance, and rinsing process is also automatically performed with the sub-surface 21 in its home position. Additionally, a cleaning element 10, designed as a silicone wiper lip, is arranged in a lower area of ​​the sub-surface 21.During the movement from the operating position to the home position, it has a cleaning effect on the mounting surface 8 of the mounting device 3.

[0029] In a second embodiment of the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1, the sub-surface 21 has two partial sub-surfaces 22, 23, which in Fig. 8 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 9. These are rotatably movable from the home position to the operating position and from the operating position to the home position about one axis 12, 13 each. Rotary movement is achieved by two space-saving joint devices (not shown) on each axis 12, 13. In the Fig. In the operating position shown in Figure 9, the partial sub-areas 22 and 23 define the output area 6 in the direction of the interior 7 of the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1. If the partial sub-areas 22 and 23 are moved into the position shown in Figure 9, the output area 6 is defined in the direction shown in Figure 9. Fig.With the basic position shown in 8, cleaning of the partial surfaces 22, 23 and thus of the partial surface 21 and the entire front surface 2 is very easy.

[0030] In this second embodiment, the partial surfaces 22, 23 can also be moved beyond their home position into a service position, which is not shown in the figures. In this position, the service section 14 is accessible to a user. Water and milk containers located behind partial surface 22 (not shown) can then be filled. A bean container located behind partial surface 23 (not shown) can also be filled in this position. The movement of the partial surfaces 22, 23 and the activation or deactivation of the built-in fully automatic coffee machine 1 are coupled to each other in the same way as described in the first embodiment.
