Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fixing and piercing device, and particularly to a fixing and piercing device for piercing an aroma capsule.

Background Art

[0002] The existing methods of using aroma capsules are mainly divided into a method of tearing by hand and a method of piercing. The method of piercing is a method of placing an aroma capsule in an aroma device, pressing a back plate or a button of the aroma device to operate a piercing member, and piercing the aroma capsule. The method of tearing by hand is a method of providing a sealing film on the outermost layer of the aroma capsule and using the aroma capsule by peeling off the sealing film.

[0003] The disadvantage of an aroma device adopting the piercing method as described above is that when a user uses the aroma device to pierce an internal aroma capsule, it is not easy to confirm whether the aroma capsule is actually pierced. For an aroma capsule using the method of tearing by hand, when peeling off the sealing film of the aroma capsule by hand, there is a possibility that volatile substances leaking out adhere to the fingers.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the structural design to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages has become an important issue to be solved in the technical field.

These terms are mainly used to distinguish one element from another. Also, the term "or" used in this specification may include any one or a combination of more than one of the items listed in relation according to the actual situation.

[0012] [First Embodiment] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, in this embodiment, a fixing and punching device 100 is provided. The fixing and punching device 100 includes a fixing frame 1, a first pressing and punching member 2, a first connecting arm 3, a second pressing and punching member 4, and a second connecting arm 5.

[0013] One end of the first connecting arm 3 is connected to the first pressing and punching member 2. The other end of the first connecting arm 3 is connected to the fixed frame 1. One end of the second connecting arm 5 is connected to the second pressing and punching member 4. The other end of the second connecting arm 5 is connected to the fixed frame 1.

[0014] The fixed frame 1 includes a plurality of fixing parts 11, a first frame 12, and a second frame 13. One end of the first connecting arm 3 is connected to the first frame 12, and one end of the second connecting arm 5 is connected to the second frame 13. The fixing parts 11 are arranged on the first frame 12 and the second frame 13. Here, in the present invention, the position where the fixing part 11 is installed is not limited to at least one of the first frame 12 and the second frame 13, and it is also possible to install the fixing part 11 at other positions of the fixed frame 1, and all of them are acceptable in the present invention.

[0015] The first frame 12 and the second frame 13 are located on two opposite sides outside the first pressing and punching member 2 and outside the second pressing and punching member 4, and are parallel to each other.

[0016] The fixed frame 1 further includes a third frame 14 and a fourth frame 15. The third frame 14 and the fourth frame 15 are arranged on two opposite sides between the first frame 12 and the second frame 13. In the present invention, the line connecting the two end points of the third frame 14 is generally perpendicular to the line connecting the two end points of the first frame 12, and the line connecting the two end points of the fourth frame 15 is generally perpendicular to the line connecting the two end points of the first frame 12. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in the present invention, the directions of the third frame 14 and the fourth frame 15 with respect to the first frame 12 are allowed to be arbitrary.

[0017] In this embodiment, the third frame 14 and the fourth frame 15 are each provided with a fixing portion 11. In the present invention, the position of the fixing portion 11 is not limited to at least one of the third frame 14 and the fourth frame 15, and it is also possible to install the fixing portion 11 at other positions of the fixed frame 1, and all of them are acceptable to the present invention.

[0018] In this embodiment, the position where the fixing portion 11 is installed generally corresponds to the edge of the aroma capsule to be installed, and the fixing portion 11 of the fixed frame 1 can engage with the edge of the aroma capsule (see FIG. 4).

[0019] The fixed frame 1 further includes a plurality of connecting frames 16, and both end points of the connecting frame 16 are connected to any two end points among the first frame 12, the second frame 13, the third frame 14, and the fourth frame 15.

[0020] The fixed frame 1 further includes at least one support arm 17, 17a. The end points of the support arms 17, 17a are connected to any two of the first frame 12, the second frame 13, the third frame 14, the fourth frame 15, and the connecting frame 16. Here, the support arms 17, 17a have the function of stabilizing the structure of the fixed frame 1.

[0021] In this embodiment, there are at least four support arms 17 and 17a between the third frame 14 and the fourth frame 15, which are at least two long support arms 17 and at least two short support arms 17a. The lines connecting the end points on both sides of the support arm 17 and the lines connecting the end points on both sides of the support arm 17a are generally parallel to the end points on both sides of the third frame 14 (that is, both the support arms 17 and 17a are generally parallel to the line L connecting the centers of the first pressing and punching member 2 and the second pressing and punching member 4). One support arm 17a needs to be close to the third frame 14, and the other support arm 17a needs to be close to the fourth frame 15. The advantage of such a design is that when a user applies a large force when pressing the first pressing and punching member 2 and the second pressing and punching member 4 in the fixing and punching device 100, the fixing frames 1 at both ends of the fixing and punching device 100 may be deformed. Therefore, in order to resist the tension of deformation, it is necessary to provide and support a plurality of support arms 17 and support arms 17a in the tension direction of the first pressing and punching member 2 and the second pressing and punching member 4. In the present invention, there are no restrictions on the required number of installations and relative positions of the support arm 17 and the support arm 17a, etc. Installing any number of structures capable of resisting deformation tension at any position within the fixed frame 1 is not prohibited by the present invention.

[0022] The fixed frame 1 further includes at least one punching member connecting arm 6. To make the operations of the first pressing and punching member 2 and the second pressing and punching member 4 synchronize better during pressing, both ends of the punching member connecting arm 6 are connected to the first pressing and punching member 2 and the second pressing and punching member 4 respectively. Also, the punching member connecting arm 6 can ensure that the first pressing and punching member 2 and the second pressing and punching member 4 are on the same plane, thereby effectively reducing the possibility that the first pressing and punching member 2 and the second pressing and punching member 4 are deformed when the user applies a large force.

[0023] In this embodiment, the first pressing and perforating member 2 includes a first pressing plate 21 and at least one first perforating member 22. The second pressing and perforating member 4 includes a second pressing plate 41 and at least one second perforating member 42. The first perforating member 22 is connected to one side of the first pressing plate 21, and the second perforating member 42 is connected to one side of the second pressing plate 41. The first perforating member 22 and the second perforating member 42 are composed of linear convex plates.

[0024] When the user attempts to use the aroma capsule, the user presses the first pressing plate 21 of the first pressing and perforating member 2 and the second pressing plate 41 of the second pressing and perforating member 4. The first pressing plate 21 presses the first perforating member 22 to perforate the aroma capsule to form a rupture part (not shown in the drawing), and the second pressing plate 41 presses the second perforating member 42 to perforate the aroma capsule to form another rupture part (not shown in the drawing). By forming two rupture parts simultaneously, convection occurs inside the aroma device, and the diffusion efficiency of the volatile substances in the aroma capsule is improved.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first connecting arm 17 is made of an elastic material, and the included angle θ between the line L connecting the centers of the first pressing and perforating member 2 and the second pressing and perforating member 4 and the connecting arm 17 is 20 degrees to 60 degrees. The design of the included angle θ takes ergonomics into consideration. The user can press the first pressing and perforating member 2 and the second pressing and perforating member 4 more conveniently, and after the pressing and perforating member is used, it can be restored to its position before use. The center mentioned here refers to the geometric center of the first pressing plate 21 and the second pressing plate 41.

[0026] [Second Embodiment] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 6, in this embodiment, the fixing and punching device 100 is not provided with a punching member connecting arm. There are at least two support arms 17 between the third frame 14 and the fourth frame 15. The line connecting the end points on both sides of the support arm 17 is generally parallel to the line connecting the end points on both sides of the third frame 14 (that is, the line connecting the end points on both sides of the support arm 17 is generally parallel to the line connecting the center of the first pressing and punching member 2 and the center of the second pressing and punching member 4). One support arm 17 needs to be close to the third frame 14, and the other needs to be close to the fourth frame 15. In this embodiment, two semi-circular support arms 17b are provided between the first frame 12 and the second frame 13. The end points on both sides of the support arm 17b are respectively connected to the support arms 17 on both sides, and the line connecting the end points of the support arm 17b is generally parallel to the line connecting the end points on both sides of the first frame 12 (that is, the line connecting the end points of the support arm 17b is generally perpendicular to the line connecting the center of the first pressing and punching member 2 and the center of the second pressing and punching member 4). Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment is provided with support arms 17b for resisting tensions in different directions. In the first embodiment, the tension directions mainly resisted by the support arms 17 and the support arms 17a were generally parallel to the third frame 14 and the fourth frame 15, but in this embodiment, two additional sets of support arms 17b that are generally parallel to the first frame 12 and the second frame 13 are added. Depending on the selection of the material of the fixed frame 1, the difference in the distance between the first pressing and punching member 2 and the second pressing and punching member 4, etc., the most suitable support arm 17 with resistance should be applied in terms of structural design to appropriately respond to different usage scenarios.

[0027] [Third Embodiment] As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the first punching member 22a and the second punching member 42a are composed of cross-shaped convex plates. The remaining members are similar to those in the first embodiment.

[0028] Note that the first perforating member and the second perforating member are each composed of a combination of one or more shapes of a linear convex plate, a cross-shaped convex plate, and a conical convex plate, and any structure having a function of perforating an aroma capsule is included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0029] One of the advantageous effects of the present invention is that with the fixing and perforating device 100 according to the present invention, the user can press the first pressing perforating member 2 and the second pressing perforating member 4 with both hands to form two rupture parts, thereby perforating the aroma capsule and generating convection inside the aroma capsule. In addition, by providing a perforating member connecting arm 6 between the first pressing perforating member 2 and the second pressing perforating member 4, the movements of both hands can be better synchronized, making it less likely for volatile substances in the aroma capsule to flow out during perforation.

[0030] One of the advantageous effects of the present invention is that with the fixing and perforating device 100 according to the present invention, the two formed rupture parts make it easier for the user to observe the activation state of the aroma capsule, and the solution of perforating the aroma capsule solves the drawback that the hands are easily soiled when tearing the aroma capsule by hand.

[0031] The content disclosed above is merely a preferred practicable embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the claims of the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent technical changes made using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention are all included in the scope of the utility model registration claims of the present invention.
