Beverage-dispensing machine comprising a pivoting pod container equipped with a device for moving distribution needles

A machine for dispensing beverages from a pod, comprising a frame, a container including a pod-receiving zone, a fluid-dispensing needle holder to hold fluid-dispensing needles and a moving system for moving the fluid-dispensing needle holder from a released position released from the pod to an engaged position engaged on the pod, and vice versa, the moving system comprising a control member mounted in rotation about a vertical axis on the frame, wherein the control member comprises a wheel and a body equipped with at least one spiral ramp which cooperates with at least one pin secured to a piston, the wheel and the body being configured for rotation about the vertical axis with respect to the frame, the piston being secured to the needle holder and mounted in translation along the vertical axis, said at least one spiral ramp comprising at least two different slope zones, configured to correspond respectively to a zone where the fluid-dispensing needles approach contact with the pod and to a work zone where the fluid-dispensing needles are engaged on the pod, wherein rotation of the wheel results in rotation of the body and movement of the at least one pin of the piston along said at least one spiral ramp of the body, thereby translationally moving the piston along the vertical axis and moving the fluid-dispensing needle holder between the released position and the engaged position.
