DEVICE FOR DOSING GROUND COFFEE AND INSTALLATION CONTAINING SUCH DEVICE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A47J31/42 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: dosing device contains: a coffee-mill (5) for preparation of coffee powder from coffee beans; an electric motor (9) to drive the coffee-mill (5); a dosing chamber (21) where coffee powder produced with the help of the said coffee-mill (5) is supplied. The said dosing chamber is at least partially divided by the first wall (33) that can be controlled by way of opening for the supply of powder from the dosing chamber, and the second wall (31) moving under the impact of change in the volume of coffee powder in the said dosing chamber (21); an actuator element (37) intended for control of opening movement of the said first wall (33); an electronic control device (59) ensuring, relying on the second wall position, the coffee-mill driving motor (9) stop and actuation of the said activator element (37) for control of opening movement of the said first wall and coffee powder release from the dosing chamber. The second wall (31) is associated with a system (45) for detection of multiple dosing positions of the second wall. The first wall (33) opening is set to be performed via an electronic control device (50) jointly by the detection system (45) and with the help of the actuator element (37) when the second wall (31) reaches one of the above dosing positions.

EFFECT: improved design.
