Abstract

Disclosed are a coffee capsule manufacturing tool and its manufacturing method. The coffee capsule manufacturing tool comprises a capsule shell, a mode base, a sealing film, a pressing mold, a powder-filling member, and a powder-pressing member. The opening of the capsule shell is provided with an outer ring extending outer towards. The center of the powder-filling member is penetrated with a powder guiding channel, a bottom portion is provided with a powder-filling member powder-filling holder, the powder-filling holder is supported on the outer ring, an inside wall of the powder guiding channel extends towards the capsule shell and extends beyond the powder-filling holder, when the powder-filling holder is supported on the outer ring, it extends into the capsule shell, the powder-pressing member extends into the powder guiding channel and uniformly compresses the coffee powder inside the capsule shell.

Claims (52)

1 . A coffee capsule manufacturing tool, comprising a mold base for positioning and placing a capsule shell, and a pressing mold for pressing a sealing film onto the capsule shell, wherein

the coffee capsule manufacturing tool further comprises a powder-filling member and a powder-pressing member;

an opening of the capsule shell extends outward with an outer ring;

a center of the powder-filling member is penetrated with a powder guiding channel for guiding and filling coffee powder and a bottom portion is provided with a powder-filling holder;

the powder-filling holder is supported on the outer ring;

an inside wall of the powder guiding channel extends towards the capsule shell and extends beyond the powder-filling holder,

when the powder-filling holder is supported on the outer ring, the powder guiding channel extends into the capsule shell,

the powder-pressing member extends into the powder guiding channel and uniformly compresses the coffee powder inside the capsule shell.

2 . The coffee capsule manufacturing tool of claim 1 , wherein

a bottom surface of the powder-pressing member is a plane, and a bottom surface of the powder-pressing member aligns with or does not protrude beyond a bottom surface of the inside wall of the powder guiding channel when compressing the coffee powder.

3 . The coffee capsule manufacturing tool of claim 1 , wherein

an interior of the mold base is provided with a positioning cavity matching a shape of the capsule shell;

an upper end surface of an outer wall of the mold base is provided with a guiding peripheral edge extending circumferentially and an inner wall of the guiding peripheral edge is inclined towards the capsule shell;

a side wall of the guiding peripheral edge is provided with a notch;

an outside wall of the mold base is provided with an inclined edge corresponding to the notch, the inclined edge located at a bottom of the notch.

4 . The coffee capsule manufacturing tool of claim 3 , wherein

an upper end surface of an outer wall of the powder-filling member is provided with a powder-filling member holder extending circumferentially, a bottom surface of the powder-filling member holder is supported on a surface of the guiding peripheral edge;

an upper end surface of an outer wall of the powder-pressing member is provided with a powder-pressing member holder extending circumferentially and a bottom surface of the powder-pressing member holder is supported on a surface of the powder-filling member holder.

5 . The coffee capsule manufacturing tool of claim 3 , wherein

an outer periphery of the outer ring is provided with an arc-shaped convex section;

an outer periphery of the powder-filling member holder is provided with a powder-filling member positioning recessed ring;

an opening of the mold base extends outward with a positioning platform;

an outer periphery of the positioning platform is provided with a positioning recessed ring;

the capsule shell is supported on the positioning platform by the outer ring;

when the powder-filling member is placed on the mold base, up and down positions of the arc-shaped convex section are respectively positioned and matched with the powder-filling member positioning recessed ring and the positioning recessed ring of the mold base in a concave convex manner; and

a lower portion of the powder-filling member is provided with a powder-filling member guiding portion used to guide and place into the guiding peripheral edge, and the powder-filling member guiding portion is located in an outer periphery of the powder-filling member positioning recessed ring.

6 . The coffee capsule manufacturing tool of claim 5 , wherein

the powder guiding channel is circular, and an upper portion of an inside wall of the powder guiding channel is provided with an inclined section facing the capsule shell;

the inclined section is composed of an inclined angle or multiple inclined angles connected end-to-end,

a lower portion of the inclined section is provided with a vertical section, and a bottom end of the vertical section extends towards the capsule shell.

7 . The coffee capsule manufacturing tool of claim 6 , wherein

the inclined section of the powder guiding channel is provided with several ventilation slots at circumferential intervals;

an opening of an upper end of the ventilation slot traverses the upper end surface of the powder-filling member;

a lower end of the ventilation slot extends to a middle portion or a lower portion of the inclined section of the powder guiding channel.

8 . The coffee capsule manufacturing tool of claim 7 , wherein

an upper portion of an outside wall of the powder-pressing member is spaced apart and coordinated with the inclined section of the powder guiding channel;

a lower portion of an outside wall of the powder-pressing member is sequentially provided with a powder-pressing member inclined portion and a powder-pressing member vertical portion,

the powder-pressing member inclined portion is inclined towards the capsule shell;

the powder-pressing member inclined portion is spaced apart and coordinated with a local position of the inclined section of the powder guiding channel;

the powder-pressing member inclined portion abuts against a remaining position of the inclined segment of the powder guiding channel; and

the powder-pressing member vertical portion abuts against the vertical section of the powder guiding channel.

9 . The coffee capsule manufacturing tool of claim 8 , wherein

the outside wall of the pressing mold is provided with a pressing mold inclined portion that matches the guiding peripheral edge;

a bottom surface of the pressing mold is provided with a circular recess in an opposite direction of the capsule shell;

an outer periphery of the circular recess is provided with a pressing plane;

an outer periphery of the pressing plane is provided with a pressing mold positioning recessed ring;

the powder-filling member and the powder-pressing member are removed from the mold base after the coffee powder is filled flat;

the mold base enters the guiding peripheral edge through the pressing mold inclined portion after the powder-filling member and the powder-pressing member are removed, and upon entering, the pressing plane presses the outer periphery of the sealing film onto the outer ring,

the up and down positions of the arc-shaped convex section are respectively positioned and matched with the pressing mold positioning recessed ring and the positioning recessed ring of the mold base in a concave convex manner;

a lower portion of the pressing mold inclined portion is provided with a pressing mold guiding portion being used to guide and enter into the guiding peripheral edge;
