Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to cosmetic manufacturing apparatus, its control method, and cosmetic manufacturing system. Background Technology

[0002] Consumers increasingly desire to use cosmetics for beauty and skin health, and to use cosmetics that suit their individual needs. To meet this desire, various forms of user cosmetic manufacturing devices have been proposed.

[0003] Generally, cosmetic manufacturing apparatuses operate by measuring or diagnosing a user's skin condition, calculating the appropriate proportions of cosmetic ingredients for that user, and then mixing the cosmetic ingredients to manufacture the cosmetic. Recently, with technological advancements, devices capable of automating a series of sequential processes have been proposed as cosmetic manufacturing apparatuses.

[0004] However, cosmetic manufacturing apparatuses based on existing technology have the following problems.

[0005] Existing cosmetic manufacturing equipment suffers from the problem of excessively long processing times when producing the cosmetics desired by users. Furthermore, while these equipment can continuously complete the process from measuring or diagnosing a user's skin condition to manufacturing the cosmetics, from the user's perspective, waiting in front of the equipment for the cosmetics to finish is simply a tedious process. Therefore, while one or two uses out of curiosity are possible, the continued use of these cosmetic manufacturing equipment is likely to be low.

[0006] In addition, in order to deliver cosmetics that can be provided by the cosmetic manufacturing equipment to users, the operators of the cosmetic manufacturing equipment need to perform additional work, such as combining the cap of the cosmetic container to complete the assembly of the cosmetic container, or combining the dispensing component, or taking the cosmetic container out of the cosmetic manufacturing equipment and handing it to the user, which is troublesome.

[0071] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. At the same time, when describing the present invention, detailed descriptions of relevant well-known structures or functions will be omitted if it is determined that such descriptions would obscure the essence of the present invention.

[0072] In the following description, "cosmetics" can be understood as a product that acts directly or indirectly on a user's skin to impart a beautifying effect, protect the skin, improve or alter the skin's condition, or has one or more of the above functions. "Cosmetic ingredients" can be understood as substances that constitute the cosmetics. Hereinafter, "composition ratio" can be understood as the weight or volume ratio of the various cosmetic ingredients provided as cosmetics.

[0073] The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 and cosmetic manufacturing system 1 of this embodiment can manufacture customized cosmetics.

[0074] Customized cosmetics can be understood as cosmetics whose composition ratio is determined based on the user's skin condition or the results of analysis or diagnosis of the skin condition, and then manufactured according to the determined composition ratio.

[0075] Alternatively, customized cosmetics can be understood as cosmetics manufactured based on the user's intentions or by determining the composition ratios through various user contexts. The user context, including data related to the user's life such as biometric information, spatial information surrounding the user, preset time and spatial ranges related to the user's schedule, shopping history, purchase history, and online activity records, can be understood as data obtainable from any device or third party.

[0076] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating the configuration of a cosmetic manufacturing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0077] refer to Figure 1 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cosmetic manufacturing system 1, which collects necessary data and determines composition ratios to manufacture customized cosmetics, may include a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10, a terminal 20, and an operation server 40. In this embodiment, the cosmetic manufacturing system 1 is exemplified as a system for manufacturing customized cosmetics, and the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 is provided as an apparatus capable of manufacturing customized cosmetics. However, the concept of the present invention is not limited to this, and it can also be used to produce cosmetics with a preset composition ratio.

[0078] The components constituting the cosmetic manufacturing system 1 can be connected via a network, enabling them to send and receive data or transmit data from one party to another. The network includes both wired and wireless networks; the type is unrestricted as long as it can transmit data.

[0079] The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can mix multiple cosmetic ingredients based on the composition ratio data required in cosmetic manufacturing, and then dispense them into cosmetic containers for use by the user. The cosmetic containers may include a first container provided as a pump-type container (described later) and a second container provided as a powder compact-type container.

[0080] The first container and the second container can be understood as containers completed by combining a mixing container 161 that can hold cosmetics and at least one of the components constituting a cosmetic container.

[0081] For example, when the first container is a pump-type container, the first container can be provided by combining the mixing container 161 and the dispensing component 162 as one of the components (see reference). Figure 6 However, the concept of the present invention is not limited to the case where the mixing container 161 must be provided as part of the first container. The composition may also include an additional containment container (not shown) that can be combined with the dispensing member 162, and the containment container and the dispensing member 162 are combined to provide the first container.

[0082] Alternatively, when the second container is a powder box type container, it can be provided by combining the base container 164, the impregnation component 168 and the covering container 166, which are part of the composition.

[0083] That is, in this embodiment, the components may include components constituting the first container (e.g., when the mixing container 161 and the dispensing component 162 are combined, it is the dispensing component 162; when the additional containing container and the dispensing component 162 are combined, it is the containing container and the dispensing component 162) and components constituting the second container (e.g., the base container 164, the impregnation component 168, and the covering container 166).

[0084] Furthermore, composition ratio data can be understood as electronic data that includes the types of cosmetic ingredients and their composition ratios. As mentioned above, composition ratio data can also be fully processed and provided to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10, or it can be generated by the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 by transmitting basic data (including user context) to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.

[0085] For example, the composition ratio data may be provided to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 from a user's mobile phone, tablet PC, or desktop computer. In this case, the composition ratio data may be provided directly from the terminal 20 to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10, or it may be provided to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 through an operation server 40 managed by the operating entity of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10. According to an embodiment, the terminal 20 may also provide basic data for generating the composition ratio data, such as data like images of the user's skin.

[0086] Terminal 20 can obtain information related to the user's environment, and the input information can be transmitted to at least one of the operation server 40 and the cosmetic manufacturing device 10.

[0087] Additionally, terminal 20 may include a measurement sensor (not shown) for determining the user's skin condition. For example, the measurement sensor may include one or more of a camera, a moisture sensor, and an oil sensor.

[0088] When the sensor is provided by a camera, the user's skin condition can be determined by taking a picture of the user's skin with the camera provided on the terminal 20 and based on the captured skin image.

[0089] The composition ratio data can also be provided to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 from the measuring sensor of the terminal 20, which can measure the user's skin condition.

[0090] Terminal 20 may also transmit the results measured by measuring sensors (e.g., camera, moisture sensor, oil sensor, etc.) directly to cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10, or transmit skin condition data that has been analyzed or diagnosed to cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.

[0091] This embodiment illustrates a case where the measurement sensor is provided as part of the terminal 20; however, the concept of the invention is not limited thereto and may include cases where the measurement sensor is provided by a device separate from the terminal 20.

[0092] The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can determine the composition ratio data based on the data obtained from the terminal 20. According to an embodiment, the terminal 20 can also transmit the skin condition data to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 via the operation server 40. In this case, the operation server 40 can also process the composition ratio data based on the data obtained from the terminal 20 and provide it to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.

[0093] In addition, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can also transmit the data obtained from the terminal 20 to the operation server 40 to obtain the composition ratio data generated by the operation server 40, which can be used in cosmetic manufacturing.

[0094] As described above, the operation server 40 can obtain the data required for processing the composition ratio data, process the composition ratio data, and provide it to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10, or directly transmit the obtained composition ratio data to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10. At this time, the operation server 40 can process composition ratio data suitable for each user not only based on the data obtained from the terminal 20, but also based on the user context collected elsewhere, and can also transmit the composition ratio data processed according to the user's request or the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10's request to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus.

[0095] In this embodiment, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can assemble multiple cosmetic containers that have different shapes from each other.

[0096] This embodiment illustrates a case where the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can assemble two types of cosmetic containers (a first container and a second container). However, the concept of the present invention is not limited to this and may include assembling any known cosmetic containers.

[0097] The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can provide a pump-type container that dispenses cosmetic material under pressure provided by a pump, and a powder box-type container that stores cosmetic material in an impregnation component and dispenses the cosmetic material through a makeup tool such as a powder puff. Hereinafter, the pump-type container will be referred to as the first container, and the powder box-type container will be referred to as the second container.

[0098] However, this is just one example, and the types of cosmetic containers that the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can provide are not limited to this.

[0099] For example, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can be configured to provide stick-shaped containers with applicators, such as lip gloss and mascara, or to provide cosmetic containers consisting of a simple cosmetic container body and a cap without a pump. In other words, the types of the first and second containers do not limit the concept of the present invention; each of the first and second containers can be understood as any cosmetic container.

[0100] The following describes the specific composition of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.

The placement section 300 and the assembly section 500 may be configured on the upper part of the worktable 114.

[0104] According to embodiments, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 may also lack any one or more of the aforementioned constituent elements, and the concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 only manufactures the first container, the constituent elements of the absorption section 600 and the assembly section 500 may be omitted.

[0105] As described above, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can be understood as an apparatus that mixes cosmetic materials according to a composition ratio, stores the mixed cosmetic materials in a cosmetic container (e.g., a first container or a second container), and provides it to the user.

[0106] This embodiment illustrates an example where the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 is installed in a retail store selling cosmetics or in any form of retail space where users can access and purchase cosmetics. However, this is merely an example, and the concept of the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can be installed in a cosmetic manufacturing plant for mass production, or in another space (a space where cosmetics are not sold), for the purpose of manufacturing cosmetics.

[0107] The main body 100 can form the appearance of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10, providing a cosmetic manufacturing space 102 where components for manufacturing cosmetics (e.g., component supply unit 160, cosmetic material supply unit 200, transfer means 800, component placement unit 50, absorption unit 600, etc.) can be installed. In order to provide the cosmetic manufacturing space 102, the main body 100 can have any desired three-dimensional shape; in this embodiment, a cuboid shape is shown as an example.

[0108] The cosmetic manufacturing space 102 can be equipped with the aforementioned components, including the cosmetic material storage unit 140, component supply unit 160, cosmetic material supply unit 200, component placement unit 50 (including placement unit 300 and mixing unit 400), assembly unit 500, absorption unit 600, and transfer means 800. These components can be disposed on the base 110 forming the bottom surface of the cosmetic manufacturing space 102. It should be understood that, according to the embodiment, these components can also be disposed on any wall surface forming the cosmetic manufacturing space 102.

[0109] Additionally, when viewing the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 from above (reference) Figure 4 The cosmetic supply unit 200 can be arranged on the left and right sides, the component supply unit 160 can be arranged at the center of the front left side, the component placement unit 50 can be arranged at the center of the front right side, and the transfer means 800 can be arranged at the center of the rear side. Additionally, the mixing unit 400 can be arranged at the rear of the component supply unit 160. This embodiment illustrates the case where the cosmetic supply units 200 are provided on both the left and right sides. However, the above-described configuration and number of cosmetic supply units 200 are merely examples; the configuration can be changed as long as it allows the transfer means 800 to move within a certain range. It can be understood that the front side is... Figure 3 The reference direction is "+y", and the right side is "+x".

[0110] In addition, the component placement unit 50 can be arranged on the upper part of the worktable 114, and the absorption part 600 can be arranged on the lower part of the worktable 114.

[0111] Additionally, the component placement unit 50 may include a placement section 300 and an assembly section 500. The assembly section 500 may be positioned on one side of the worktable 114, with the placement section 300 as a reference, and the pressure section 640 of the absorption section 600 exposed on the other side. Figure 4 (Based on the above). The pressurizing part 640 can be exposed through a hole formed on the worktable 114, and the pressurizing part 640 can be exposed by the transfer means 800 described later. The pressurizing part 640 is a configuration used in the process of impregnating the impregnation part 168 with cosmetic material when manufacturing the second container, and its detailed description will be described later.

[0112] The main body 100 may include a housing 120 for protecting the cosmetic manufacturing space 102 from the outside space.

[0113] Specifically, the housing 120 constituting the main body 100 may include: a front housing 120a with a transparent window 122; and a rear housing 120b connected to the front housing 120a via a connecting member 123. The connecting member 123 may be a hinge. The user can lift at least a portion of the front housing 120a upwards, thus improving the ease of tidying up the internal structure of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.

[0114] A transparent window 122 may be provided in a portion of the housing 120 to allow external observation of the cosmetic manufacturing process completed in the cosmetic manufacturing space 102. For example, the transparent window 122 may be formed in the central area of ​​the front of the housing 120, thereby allowing the user to view the operation of the transfer means 800 and the overall or partial operation completed in the cosmetic manufacturing space 102, thereby improving the user's confidence in the customized cosmetics manufactured by the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.

[0115] Additionally, a user interface 130 may be provided on one side of the housing 120. The user interface 130 may provide the user with status information of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 or the manufacturing process of customized cosmetics and related information, and may provide preset information for the user. For example, the user interface 130 may be a touchscreen and may include a microphone and speaker for inputting and outputting sound. The position of the user interface 130 on the housing 120 may be configured so as not to overlap with the transparent window 122; in this embodiment, it is shown as being provided in the front left area of ​​the main body 100.

[0116] Users can use the user interface 130 to confirm the results of their skin condition analysis and diagnosis, confirm the composition ratio data of customized cosmetics available to them, adjust the composition ratio data of the customized cosmetics to be manufactured, or select cosmetics with specific composition ratio data. Furthermore, users can input the required personal information to personalize the manufactured customized cosmetics.

[0117] Additionally, multiple opening and closing doors 126 may be provided on at least a portion of the housing 120. Users can open the opening and closing doors 126 to replace the case 142 or organize the components arranged in the cosmetic manufacturing space 102. Furthermore, a lower tray 127 for storing various items may be provided on the underside of the housing 120, which serves as the cosmetic manufacturing space 102.

[0118] Additionally, a component supply door 129 that can be selectively opened and closed can be provided on one side of the housing 120. The component supply door 129 can be provided in front of the component supply section 160 described later, and can be selectively opened and closed.

[0119] At this time, the component supply door 129 can be provided as a rotating structure or a sliding structure with elastic restoring force. It can be opened when the tray 165 of the component supply section 160 moves to the outside of the main body 100, and then closed when the tray 165 moves to the inside of the main body 100.

[0120] Alternatively, a user or another robot can open the component supply door 129 to place components constituting the first container (e.g., mixing container 161 and dispensing component 162) and components constituting the second container (e.g., base container 164, impregnation component 168, and covering container 166) into the component supply section 160. Furthermore, once the assembled first or second container is placed in the component supply section 160, the user can also open the component supply door 129 to remove the assembled finished product.

[0121] Additionally, an absorbent section 128 that can be selectively opened and closed can be provided on the other side of the housing 120. By providing the absorbent section 128 as described above, the ease of tidying the absorbent section 600, which will be described later, can be improved.

[0122] On one hand, a recycling section 112 can be provided on the base 110 for recycling the mixing container 161 that is no longer needed after mixing cosmetic materials when the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 is used to manufacture a second container. The recycling section 112 can be disposed adjacent to the assembly section 500 and is provided with a hole in the base 110 so that the mixing container 161 that has been discharged by the transfer means 800 simply falls onto the base container 164 on the recycling section 112, thereby completing the recycling. At this time, a recycling bin (not shown) can be provided on the underside of the recycling section 112 for collecting the discarded mixing container 161.

[0123] The cosmetic storage section 140 can be disposed on one side of the main body 100 and can include multiple boxes 142. In the following description, one side of the main body 100 can be understood as a direction with reference to the transfer means 800 disposed on the base 110, and the other side of the main body 100 can be understood as a direction different from the aforementioned side. In this embodiment, an example is shown with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the cosmetic storage sections 140 are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the transfer means 800.

[0124] Cosmetic materials used as raw materials for cosmetics can be stored in each box 142. A particular cosmetic material can also be supplied in multiple boxes 142. The boxes 142 can be connected to a cosmetic material supply unit 220, such as a pump, provided in the cosmetic material supply section 200, so that the stored cosmetic materials can be replaced when they are depleted.

[0125] In this embodiment, multiple boxes 142 are provided, each storing a preset type of cosmetic. Multiple boxes 142 can be arranged in parallel on one side wall of the housing 120. To replace the boxes 142, a portion of the housing 120 can also be made openable.

[0126] Each cartridge 142 can be connected to the cosmetic supply unit 220 via a hose 143. The cosmetics stored in the cartridge 142 can be dispensed from the cosmetic supply unit 220 to the mixing container 161 located in the mixing container transfer section 250.

[0127] The cosmetic supply unit 200 can be configured adjacent to the cosmetic storage unit 140. Specifically, the cosmetic supply unit 200 can be configured on the upper side of the cosmetic storage unit 140. Here, "upper side" can be understood as being adjacent to... Figure 3 The reference direction is "+z".

[0128] The cosmetic supply unit 200 can dispense cosmetics stored in the cassette 142 into the mixing container 161 located in the mixing container transfer unit 250 according to the composition ratio generated by the control unit 900. The composition ratio may be preset and stored in the memory (not shown), obtained from the terminal 20 and the operation server 40, or calculated by the control unit 900 based on the obtained data.

[0129] Alternatively, multiple cosmetic supply units 200 can be provided to be separated into independent spaces. In this embodiment, an example is illustrated where one cosmetic supply unit 200 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the main body 100.

[0130] Each cosmetic supply unit 200 may include: a cosmetic supply unit 220, providing power for supplying cosmetics to transfer cosmetics stored in a cassette 142; multiple discharge ports 232 for discharging cosmetics transferred from the cosmetic supply unit 220; and a mixing container transfer unit 250, provided for fixing the mixing container 161 and movable below the multiple discharge ports 232 (see reference). Figure 5 ).

[0131] The cosmetic supply unit 220 can draw in cosmetics from the cartridge 142 at a preset speed and dispense cosmetics into the mixing container 161. For example, the cosmetic supply unit 220 may include a peristaltic pump with finely adjustable flow rate.

[0132] At this time, the cosmetic material intake and release speed of the cosmetic material supply unit 220 can be changed according to preset conditions or the control unit 900. For example, the control unit 900 can control the peristaltic pump provided by the cosmetic material supply unit 220 according to the amount of cosmetic material injected into the mixing container 161, thereby adjusting the supply flow rate and velocity.

[0133] The cosmetic supply unit 220 can be supported by the cosmetic supply section bracket 235, and the mixing container transfer section 250 can be provided on the lower side of the cosmetic supply unit 220.

[0134] The cosmetic material supply unit support 235 can be provided with a dispensing port 232 for dispensing cosmetic materials on one side. The mixing container transfer unit 250 can be moved to the lower side of the dispensing port 232 to receive cosmetic materials into the mixing container 161.

[0135] A connection path can be provided between the cosmetic supply unit 220 and the cosmetic dispensing port 232. When the cosmetic supply unit 220 is supplied by a peristaltic pump, the connection path can be a flexible tube 143. That is, the flexible tube 143 can be understood as a unit that connects the cartridge 142 and the dispensing port 232 through the cosmetic supply unit 220.

[0136] The cosmetic supply unit 220 can provide a quantity corresponding to each box 142. For example, a cosmetic supply unit 220 can be connected to each box 142, and each cosmetic supply unit 220 adjusts the dispensing amount of cosmetic stored in the box 142.

[0137] The cosmetic supply unit 220 can dispense cosmetics stored in the box 142 into the mixing container 161 placed in the mixing container transfer section 250.

[0138] The mixing container transfer unit 250 may include a mixing container placement slot 2547a for inserting the mixing container 161. In addition, the mixing container transfer unit 250 may reciprocate in the direction (y-axis direction) in which a plurality of discharge ports 232 are arranged.

[0139] The mixing container transfer unit 250 can place the mixing container 161 into the mixing container placement slot 2547a, and while reciprocating below the dispensing port 232, it can receive cosmetic materials dispensed from multiple dispensing ports 232 into the mixing container 161 (see reference). Figure 5The discharge port 232 can provide the same number as or more of the cosmetic supply unit 220.

[0140] The mixing container transfer unit 250 can move to the next discharge port 232 after waiting for a preset time at the bottom of each discharge port 232. During the preset time waiting period, cosmetic materials can be discharged from the discharge port 232 into the mixing container 161.

[0141] Specifically, the mixing container transfer unit 250 may include: a mixing container moving block 254 that moves along a mixing container guide rail 252; a mixing container mounting slot 2547a that can be provided on the upper part of the mixing container moving block 254 and fix the mixing container 161; and a mixing container locking rod 255 that can extend from the mixing container moving block 254 and be held by the transfer means 800.

[0142] Additionally, a mixing container guide rail 252 extending along the configuration direction (y-direction) of the dispensing port 232 can be provided at the lower part of the mixing container transfer section 250, and a mixing container stop 256 for locking the mixing container stop 255 can be provided at the lower part of the mixing container stop 255. It can be understood that the mixing container guide rail 252 and the mixing container stop 256 are provided on the base 110. Furthermore, multiple grooves for inserting the mixing container stop 255 can be formed in the mixing container stop 256. The spacing of the multiple grooves corresponds to the spacing of the dispensing ports of the cosmetic supply unit 220.

[0143] This embodiment illustrates an example where the movement of the mixing container movable block 254 is accomplished by the transfer means 800. For example, the transfer means 800 can grasp the mixing container locking rod 255 extending from the mixing container movable block 254 and then reciprocate it in the y-axis direction.

[0144] The transfer means 800 can grasp the locking lever 255 of the mixing container, release the constraint on the moving block 254 of the mixing container, move the moving block 254 of the mixing container, and then insert it into the groove of the stop member 256 of the mixing container in another position, thereby making the moving block 254 of the mixing container constrained again, thus keeping the mixing container 161 stably in this position during the dispensing of cosmetic materials. In this case, the moving block 254 of the mixing container is fixed on the stop member 256 of the mixing container, so that the transfer means 800 can freely perform other operations while dispensing any cosmetic material into the mixing container 161, thus effectively forming an overall manufacturing process and shortening the manufacturing time.

[0145] According to the embodiment, the movement and position holding of the mixing container moving block 254 can be accomplished by a separately provided drive device. For example, the mixing container moving block 254 can be a moving block provided by a linear motor guide. In this case, the control unit 900 controls the linear motor guide so that the mixing container 161 placed on the mixing container moving block 254 can be positioned to receive the cosmetic supplied by the cosmetic supply unit 220.

[0146] On the one hand, a weight sensor capable of measuring changes in the weight of the mixing container 161 can also be provided inside the moving block 254 of the mixing container. Cosmetics are injected into the mixing container 161 via the cosmetic supply unit 200, thereby causing changes in the weight of the mixing container 161. The control unit 900 can adjust the supply speed of the cosmetics via the cosmetic supply unit 200 based on the results measured by the weight sensor.

[0147] The component supply unit 160 can supply components of cosmetic containers (e.g., a first container and a second container) that can be assembled in the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.

[0148] Specifically, the component supply unit 160 may include: a tray 165 for holding components; a first container component support 163 for supporting components that can form a first container; and a second container component support 169 for supporting components that can form a second container.

[0149] Hereinafter, the components supplied by the component supply department 160, such as the mixing container 161 and the components constituting the cosmetic container, will be collectively referred to as "components".

[0150] A tray 165 is provided on the base 110 and may be provided to be movable so that at least a portion is exposed to the outside of the body 100. For example, the tray 165 may be provided to slide outward of the body 100 through a component supply door 129.

[0151] In this case, the user or another robot can easily place the components forming the first container and the components forming the second container on the component supply unit 160, and can easily discharge the assembled first and second containers to the outside of the main body 100.

[0152] The first container component support 163 may include: a mixing container support 163a, which can support the mixing container 161; and a dispensing component support 163b, which can support the dispensing component 162.

[0153] A groove for inserting the mixing container 161 can be provided in the mixing container support 163a. ​​A groove for inserting the straw 1622 can be provided in the dispensing component support 163b.

[0154] The second container component support 169 may include a base container support 169a, which can support the base container 164; an impregnated component support 169b, which can support the impregnated component 168; and a cover container support 169c, which can support the cover container 166.

[0155] Additionally, a recess 167 can be provided at the front of the tray 165, where the assembled first or second container can be placed.

[0156] In this embodiment, the first container can be understood as being formed by assembling the mixing container 161 and the dispensing component 162.

[0157] Specifically, the dispensing component 162 may include: a pump portion 1621 that provides force to generate a pressure difference and move fluid; a straw 1622 that is connected to the pump portion 1621 and inserted into the inside of the mixing container 161 to draw in cosmetics stored in the mixing container 161; and a cap 1623 that can seal the inlet 1611 of the mixing container 161.

[0158] The mixing container 161 can provide space for storing cosmetics and may include an inlet 1611 into which a straw 1622 can be inserted.

[0159] The mixing container 161 can also be used as a storage container for cosmetic ingredients that are part of a finished product as part of a first container. That is, after being used when mixing cosmetics, the mixing container 161 can be used directly as part of a customized cosmetic product.

[0160] Alternatively, the second container can be understood as being formed by assembling the base container 164, the impregnating component 168, and the covering container 166.

[0161] Specifically, the base container 164 can hold cosmetics and an impregnating component 168 provided by a sponge, and the cover container 166 can selectively seal the impregnating component 168 located inside the base container 164.

[0162] Makeup tools such as powder puffs can be provided in advance in the covering container 166.

[0163] Specifically, the cover container 166 can be combined with the base container 164, including an inner cover that supports the makeup tools and covers the impregnating component 168, and an outer cover that covers the makeup tools and protects the entire container. The inner and outer covers can each rotate to conceal the impregnating component 168 or the makeup tools.

[0164] Additionally, a component placement unit 50 for assembling the first and second containers can be provided in the cosmetic manufacturing space 102 (see reference). Figure 7 ).

[0165] Specifically, the component placement unit 50 may include: a placement part 300 for assembling a first container; and an assembly part 500 for assembling a second container. The component placement unit 50 may be provided on the upper part of the worktable 114, and a groove may be provided on the worktable 114 at a certain distance from the component placement unit 50 to expose the pressure part 640.

[0166] The placement part 300 can be used as a temporary waiting position for the mixing container 161 to be moved to the next process during the manufacturing process of customized cosmetics, or to support the mixing container 161 during the assembly of the first container. As described in this embodiment, when two robotic arms are used as the transfer means 800, the placement part 300 is positioned in a position that is accessible to both robotic arms, thereby serving to transfer parts between the two robotic arms.

[0167] Specifically, the mixing container can be formed with a structure having corners in its longitudinal section, and a mixing container placement groove 302 with a shape corresponding to the shape of the mixing container 161 can be provided in the placement part 300. The transfer means 800 can perform a process of changing the orientation of the mixing container 161 towards a preset direction before placing it so that the mixing container 161 is accurately inserted into the mixing container placement groove 302. As a result, the mixing container 161 can always be located in the preset position and can stably maintain its posture during the engagement with the dispensing member 162 against external forces in the direction of rotation.

[0168] The assembly unit 500 provides a location and space for manufacturing a cosmetic product as a finished product by assembling the various components that constitute the cosmetic container. In this embodiment, the assembly of the second container is illustrated as being completed in the assembly unit 500. That is, in this embodiment, the first container is assembled in the placement unit 300, and the second container is assembled in the assembly unit 500; however, the concept of the invention is not limited to this. For example, the assembly of both the first and second containers may be completed in the placement unit 300. In this case, the placement unit 300 can be understood as the assembly unit 500. Alternatively, the assembly of both the first and second containers may be completed in the assembly unit 500. The specific assembly process for each container will be described later.

[0169] The assembly of the base container 164, the impregnating component 168, and the covering container 166 can be performed on the assembly unit 500 (assembly of the second container). Specifically, the base container 164 is positioned on the assembly unit 500 by the transfer means 800. After the cosmetic material stored in the mixing container 161 is placed into the base container 164, the impregnating component 168 is placed on the base container 164. Then, after the absorption process in the absorption unit 600, the covering container 166 is combined with the base container 164 to cover the impregnating component 168. This will be explained in more detail later.

[0170] The assembly unit 500 may include a base container placement slot 502 for holding the base container 164, so that the mixed cosmetic material from the mixing container 161 can be contained during the assembly of the second container. The transfer means 800 can hold the base container 164 of the component supply unit 160 and move it towards the base container placement slot 502. After the mixing container 161, having finished mixing, is transferred from the placement unit 300 or the mixing unit 400 by the transfer means 800, cosmetic material can be dispensed onto the base container 164 on the assembly unit 500.

[0171] Specifically, the base container 164 can be formed as a structure with at least a portion having corners or a cylindrical shape, and the base container placement slot 502 can be provided with a shape corresponding to the corner structure or cylindrical shape formed on the base container 164. The transfer means 800 can perform a process of changing the orientation of the base container 164 towards a preset direction before placing it so that the base container 164 is accurately inserted into the base container placement slot 502. Thus, the base container 164 can always be located in a preset position and can stably maintain its posture during the combination with the covering container 166 against external forces in the direction of rotation.

[0172] Furthermore, the base container 164, which is placed on the assembly section 500 and contains the mixed cosmetic material, can be conveyed by the transfer means 800 to contain the impregnation component 168. The base container 164, having contained the impregnation component 168, can then be moved again by the transfer means 800 to the absorption section 600 for the absorption process.

[0173] The process of impregnating cosmetic material into the impregnation component 168 contained in the second container is carried out in the absorption section 600. The base container 164, which has completed the containment of cosmetic material and loading of the impregnation component 168 on the assembly section 500, can move towards the absorption section 600, whereby the cosmetic material is fully impregnated in the impregnation component 168 by the absorption tool 620 provided in the absorption section 600. The absorption tool 620 completes the impregnation effect by repeatedly applying pressure to the impregnation component 168 according to a preset pressure.

[0174] The absorption section 600 may include an absorption tool 620 and a base container transfer section 650.

[0175] The absorption tool 620 can be understood as an impregnation component 168 that is pressurized and inserted into the base container 164, thereby impregnating the cosmetic material in the impregnation component 168.

[0176] The base container transfer unit 650 can be understood as a configuration that moves towards the lower part of the absorption tool 620 after the base container 164, which has been moved from the tissue section 500, is placed on the base container transfer unit 650. The base container 164, which is placed on the base container transfer unit 650, contains cosmetics and impregnation components 168.

[0177] The absorption tool 620 may include: a positioning retainer 630, which can rise and fall in the height direction (z-direction) under the worktable 114 to fix the base container 164 placed on the base container transfer unit 650; and a pressurizing unit 640, which can pressurize the impregnation member 168 located on the upper part of the base container 164, the base container 164 being fixed by the positioning retainer 630. An opening may be formed in the worktable 114 to expose the pressurizing unit 640, and the transfer means 800 can press the exposed pressurizing unit 640 to impregnate the impregnation member 168.

[0178] Additionally, the base container transfer unit 650 may include: a base container moving block 652 for placing and moving the base container 164; a base container guide rail 651 for providing a path for the base container moving block 652 to move; a base container locking lever 653 for moving the base container moving block 652; and a base container stop 654 for fixing the base container locking lever 653 in a preset position. The transfer means 800 can hold the base container locking lever 653 and move the base container moving block 652, on which the base container 164 is placed, to the lower end of the pressure unit 640.

[0179] The absorption unit 600 may include a base container transfer unit 650 that accommodates a base container 164 provided from the assembly unit 500 by a transfer means 800 and moves it to a position where absorption by the absorption tool 620 is completed.

[0180] The base container 164, having completed absorption in the absorption section 600, can be transferred again to the assembly section 500 for placement via the transfer means 800. The transfer means 800 retrieves a covering container 166 from the component supply section 160 and combines it with the base container 164. The combination of the base container 164 and the covering container 166 can be achieved through mechanical insertion, such as a hook connection. For this purpose, the transfer means 800 can apply a certain external force to the covering container 166. For a more detailed description of the absorption section 600, please refer to the following description. Figures 15 to 18 To provide a more detailed explanation.

[0181] The mixing section 400 is a component that applies external force to the mixing container 161 containing cosmetics through the cosmetic supply section 200, thereby enabling the cosmetics to be mixed evenly within the mixing container 161.

[0182] The mixing unit 400 can be provided to be rotatable so as to be able to mix cosmetics contained in the mixing container 161.

[0183] In this embodiment, an example is given of a device in which the mixing unit 400 mixes cosmetics by causing the mixing container 161 to rotate rapidly while simultaneously revolving around the sun.

[0184] Specifically, the mixing unit 400 may include: a first rotating component 402, which can be inserted into the mixing container 161 and is rotatable; and a second rotating component 404, which can rotate the first rotating component 402. The first rotating component 402 can be separated from the center M of the second rotating component 404 by a certain distance, and the first rotating component 402 can be stopped at a preset position by the control unit 900.

[0185] In this case, the transfer means 800 can insert the mixing container 161 onto the first rotating member 402 located at a preset position, so the transfer means 800 can be easily controlled.

[0186] After the mixing unit 400 accommodates the mixing container 161, it can operate for a preset time under the control of the control unit 900. After the mixing process is completed in the mixing unit 400, the mixing container 161 can be moved to the subsequent process position by the transfer means 800.

[0187] Additionally, the transfer means 800 can grasp a mixing container 161 that is not containing cosmetics and place it on the component supply section 160, and move it to the mixing container transfer section 250 of the cosmetics supply section 200. At this time, the mixing container 161 is moved to one side of the main body 100 (towards...). Figure 4 When the mixing container transfer unit 250 (with the left side as the reference) is moved, the mixing container 161 can be moved directly from the component supply unit 160 to the mixing container transfer unit 250, and moved to the other side of the main body 100 (with the left side as the reference). Figure 4 When the mixing container transfer section 250 is located on the right side (based on the reference), it moves from the component supply section 160 to the placement section 300 and then to the mixing container transfer section 250.

[0188] In addition, the transfer means 800 can move the mixing container 161, after the cosmetic has been contained on the mixing container transfer section 250 or after the mixing process has been carried out in the mixing section 400, to the placement section 300.

[0189] Alternatively, the transfer means 800 can combine the dispensing component 162 with the mixing container 161 placed on the placement part 300 to assemble a first container, or place the base container 164 on the assembly part 500, pour the cosmetic contained in the mixing container 161 into the base container 164, place the impregnation component 168 into the mixing container 161, impregnate the cosmetic in the impregnation component 168 through the absorption part 600, and cover the base container 164 containing the impregnation component 168 with the covering container 166, and assemble a second container through this process.

[0190] In addition, the transfer means 800 can place the assembled first container or second container in the groove 167 of the component supply section 160.

[0191] In addition, the transfer means 800 can push open the tray 165 of the component supply section 160, exposing at least a portion of the tray 165 to the outside of the main body 100, thereby providing the user with a first or second container that has been fully assembled.

[0192] The transfer means 800 may include multiple transfer units 801 and 802, which can move the components provided in the component supply unit 160 to the component placement unit 50, and assemble the components moved to the component placement unit 50 into a first container provided as a pump-type container, or into a second container provided as a powder cartridge-type container. This embodiment illustrates the case where two transfer units 801 and 802 are provided as the transfer means 800; however, the number of transfer units is not limited as long as there is one or more.

[0193] Specifically, the transfer means 800 may include a first transfer unit 801 and a second transfer unit 802 that can move independently of each other.

[0194] When assembling the first container to form a pump-type container, one of the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can hold the cap 1623 of the dispensing component 162, while the other moves up and down in contact with the straw 1622 so that the straw 1622 of the dispensing component 162 is neatly aligned with the inlet 1611 of the mixing container 161 located in the component placement unit 50.

[0195] When assembling the second container to form a powder box type container, one of the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 may place the base container 164 constituting the second container on the component placement unit 50, while the other flips the mixing container 161 to move the cosmetic contained in the mixing container 161 to the base container 164.

[0196] The transfer means 800 can move components between constituent elements disposed on the base 110. As described above, this embodiment illustrates the case where a robotic arm is provided as the transfer means 800. Specifically, the transfer means 800 may include a first transfer unit 801 that can correspond to one robotic arm and a second transfer unit 802 that can correspond to another robotic arm. The first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 may each be provided by a multi-joint robotic arm 810, and the degrees of freedom that the multi-joint robotic arm 810 may have may vary depending on the embodiment. This embodiment illustrates the case where a device with 6 degrees of freedom is used as the multi-joint robotic arm 810.

[0197] The first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can be connected to a robotic arm control unit 820 and have a form that extends from the robotic arm control unit 820. The robotic arm control unit 820 can control the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 according to the control of the control unit 900, thereby performing preset functions.

[0198] For the multi-joint robotic arm 810 described above, there are various known devices of different forms. Therefore, specific details related to its structure and control are omitted in this embodiment.

[0199] On one hand, a first clamp 840 is provided in the first transfer unit 801, and a second clamp 860 is provided in the second transfer unit 802. The first clamp 840 and the second clamp 860 may each have a structural configuration suitable for the functions required to be performed by the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802. Specific details related to clamps 840 and 860 will be described later.

[0200] In the above description, the functions and actions of the transfer means 800 can be explained by any one or both of the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802. The transfer units used for each function and action can be selected differently depending on the configuration of the constituent elements.

[0201] The first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can be configured to perform different actions depending on the location where the cosmetic supply unit 200 is located, namely, to move the mixing container 161 provided in the component supply unit 160 to the cosmetic supply unit 200.

[0202] Specifically, when configured on one side ( Figure 4 When the cosmetic supply section 200 (with the left side as the reference) contains cosmetics into the mixing container 161, the second transfer unit 802 can hold the mixing container 161 disposed in the component supply section 160 and move the mixing container 161 directly to the mixing container transfer section 250 disposed on one side.

[0203] Additionally, when configured on the other side ( Figure 4 When the cosmetic supply section 200 (with the right side as the reference) receives cosmetic material into the mixing container 161, the second transfer unit 802 can hold the mixing container 161 disposed on the component supply section 160 and place it on the mixing container 161 placement section 300. Then, the first transfer unit 801 can hold the mixing container 161 placed on the placement section 300, thereby moving the mixing container 161 to the mixing container transfer section 250 disposed on the other side.

[0204] As described above, the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can be respectively responsible for the work performed on one side and the work performed on the other side inside the cosmetic manufacturing space 102.

[0205] The first transfer unit 801 can perform the required actions to move a component from any one of the cosmetic supply section 200, placement section 300, assembly section 500, and absorption section 600 located on the other side to another, or to assemble the first container and the second container (including the absorption process).

[0206] Specifically, the first transfer unit 801 can transfer the mixing container 161 from the placement section 300 to the mixing container transfer section 250 disposed on the other side, or move the mixing container transfer section 250 to the lower part of the cosmetic supply section 200 disposed on the other side, or assemble the dispensing component 162 onto the mixing container 161 placed on the placement section 300, or provide the impregnation component 168 onto the base container 164 placed on the assembly section 500, or transfer the base container 164 from the assembly section 500 to the absorption section 600, or move the base container 164 in the absorption section 600 in a preset order, or transfer the base container 164 and the impregnation component 168 in the absorption state again from the absorption section 600 to the assembly section 500, or combine the covering container 166 onto the base container 164 placed on the assembly section 500.

[0207] Therefore, the first clamp 840 may have a structure that allows it to hold and move the various components. Additionally, the first clamp 840 may include a structure that actuates the base container transfer unit 650, which is provided for transferring the base container 164 on the absorption unit 600. Furthermore, the first clamp 840 may also have the function of engaging the dispensing component 162 with the mixing container 161 placed on the placement unit 300 by rotation.

[0208] In addition, the second transfer unit 802 can perform the required actions to move a component from any one of the component supply unit 160, the cosmetic supply unit 200 arranged on one side, the placement unit 300, the mixing unit 400, and the assembly unit 500 to another, or to assemble the first container and the second container (including the absorption process).

[0209] Specifically, the second transfer unit 802 can transfer components from the component supply unit 160 to components disposed on one side ( Figure 4 The mixing container 161 can be moved from the cosmetic supply section 200 (with the left side as the reference), or the mixing container transfer section 250 can be moved from the lower part of the cosmetic supply section 200, or the mixing container 161 can be moved from the cosmetic supply section 200 located on one side to the mixing section 400, or the mixed container 161 can be moved from the mixing section 400 to the placement section 300 after mixing, or the mixing container 161 after mixing can be moved to the groove 167 of the component supply section 160 after the first container after assembly in the placement section 300 or the second container after assembly in the assembly section 500, or the function of providing external force for absorption in the absorption section 600, etc.

[0210] Therefore, the second clamp 860 may have a structure that allows for gripping and moving the mixing container 161. Additionally, the second clamp 860 may include a structure that allows for gripping and moving the mixing container transfer section 250, providing a locking lever 255 for the mixing container. Furthermore, the second clamp 860 may also have a structure for neatly arranging the straw 1622 when the first transfer unit 801 combines the dispensing member 162 with the mixing container 161. Additionally, the second clamp 860 may also have a structure for actuating the absorption tool 620 of the absorption section 600.

[0211] The actions performed by the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 as described above can be realized by utilizing the characteristics of the multi-joint robotic arm 810. The methods for controlling it are known to be diverse, so specific descriptions related to it are omitted.

[0212] On the one hand, this embodiment illustrates the case where a multi-joint robotic arm 810 is provided as a transfer means 800; however, the concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, a transfer device capable of linear movement in three axes may be provided as a transfer means 800, and additional devices for performing the above-described functions may be added on this basis.

[0213] On one hand, the control unit 900 can essentially control the aforementioned components. For example, the control unit 900 can control the movement of the transfer means 800 and the amount of cosmetic material dispensed from the cosmetic material supply unit 200. Additionally, the control unit 900 may include a skin condition analysis unit 910, which analyzes skin condition from skin measurement data obtained from either the terminal 20 or the operation server 40. According to the embodiment, as described above, the skin condition analysis unit 910 can also obtain the analysis results.

[0214] Then, the control unit 900 may include a composition ratio determination unit 920, which determines the composition ratio data of cosmetic ingredients in order to manufacture customized cosmetics according to the skin condition analysis results generated in the skin condition analysis unit 910. The composition ratio determination unit 920 may determine the composition ratio by substituting the skin condition analysis results as variable values ​​into a preset calculation formula, or it may select the composition ratio closest to or most suitable for the skin condition analysis results from a plurality of preset composition ratios. This preset composition ratio data can be understood to include the types, amounts, and proportions of cosmetic ingredients used, and may include physical property data such as color or viscosity of the cosmetics corresponding to each composition ratio data for intuitive understanding by the user.

[0215] At this time, the control unit 900 may include a composition ratio modification unit 930, which provides the user with the determined composition ratio through the user interface unit 130, thereby giving the user the opportunity to modify the composition ratio data. The user can confirm the composition ratio data provided by the user interface unit 130, and based on this, decide whether to directly incorporate or utilize other composition ratio data, and then input the modified data. At this time, the composition ratio data provided to the user may be the ratio itself, or it may be characteristic information such as the color or physical properties of the cosmetic manufactured according to the composition ratio data. Therefore, the modified data input by the user may also be characteristic information such as the color or physical properties of the cosmetic. According to an embodiment, the composition ratio modification unit 930 may also transmit data to the terminal 20 instead of the user interface unit 130, thereby obtaining the modified data through the terminal 20.

[0216] Additionally, the control unit 900 may include: a cosmetic type receiving unit 940, which receives the desired cosmetic type from the user; a manufacturing mode receiving unit 950, which receives the desired manufacturing mode; and a composition ratio determining unit 920. In this embodiment, the information provided to the cosmetic type receiving unit 940 may be whether the customized cosmetic type is a first container or a second container, and the information provided to the manufacturing mode receiving unit 950 may be whether it is a sample receiving mode or a finished product receiving mode. Here, a sample refers to a cosmetic manufactured using only a relatively small amount of cosmetic ingredients while maintaining the composition ratio, and a finished product refers to a cosmetic whose preset capacity is fully filled as a saleable product.

[0217] Additionally, manufacturing modes may include: a mode where a finished product is requested after receiving a sample; a mode where a sample is requested after receiving a sample, with a revised composition ratio; and a mode where a waste disposal is requested after receiving a sample. As described above, the manufacturing mode can involve providing the product to the user after receiving a sample.

[0218] Users can select the type or manufacturing mode of cosmetics through the user interface unit 130. To this end, the user interface unit 130 can provide the user with a screen for selecting the type or manufacturing mode of cosmetics. Alternatively, according to an embodiment, the user can also provide the type or manufacturing mode of cosmetics to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 through the terminal 20 or the operating server 40.

[0219] Hereinafter, a control method for a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus having the configuration described above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0220] Figure 11 It is shown Figure 1 A sequence diagram of the control method for a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus.

[0221] refer to Figure 11 The control method for a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus may include: step S10, whereby a control unit 900 calculates data related to the cosmetic to be manufactured, including composition ratios; step S20, whereby the control unit 900 controls the cosmetic supply unit 200 and the transfer means 800 to dispense cosmetic materials stored in the cosmetic storage unit 140 into the mixing container 161 according to the composition ratios; step S30, whereby the control unit 900 controls the mixing unit 400 and the transfer means 800 to mix the cosmetic materials dispensed into the mixing container 161; step S40, whereby the control unit 900 determines that the cosmetic materials contained in the mixing container 161 are samples, provides the mixing container 161 to the user, and obtains information from the user regarding whether to change the composition ratios; and step S50, whereby the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800 to store the cosmetic materials contained in the mixing container 161 in at least one of a first container provided as a pump-type container and a second container provided as a powder box-type container, and provides it to the user.

[0222] S40 can be provided optionally. S10 may include at least one of S110, S120, S130, S140, and S150 described later. S20 may include one of S210 and S220 described later. S30 may include at least one of S230 and S240 described later. S40 may include at least one of S310, S320, S330, S340, S350, S360, S370, S380, S390, S400, S410, S420, and S430 described later. S50 may include at least one of steps S500 and S900 described later. These will be described in detail later.

[0223] Figure 12 To show in more detail Figure 1 A sequence diagram of the control method for the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.

[0224] refer to Figure 12 The control unit 900 can collect the required cosmetic type data S110 from the user through the cosmetic type receiving unit 940. As described above, the cosmetic type data can be obtained through the user interface unit 130, or through the terminal 20 and the operation server 40, etc.

[0225] Additionally, the control unit 900 can collect manufacturing pattern data from the user via the manufacturing pattern receiving unit 950, which relates to whether the product is to be manufactured or whether it is a finished product. This manufacturing pattern data can be obtained through the user interface unit 130, or from the terminal 20 or the operation server 40.

[0226] Then, the control unit 900 analyzes the user's skin condition S130 via the skin condition analysis unit 910. As described above, the skin condition analysis unit 910 can also obtain the pre-analyzed results from either the terminal 20 or the operation server 40.

[0227] The composition ratio determination unit 920 of the control unit 900 determines the composition ratio data based on the analysis results provided in step S130, and determines the amount to be manufactured as cosmetic S140 according to the manufacturing mode collected in step S120. In this step, the supply amount of multiple types of cosmetic materials stored in the cosmetic material supply unit 140 can be determined. For example, when the user selects the sample manufacturing mode, the supply amount of cosmetic materials required to produce a relatively small amount of cosmetics can be determined. In addition, when the user selects the finished product manufacturing mode, the total manufacturing amount of cosmetics can be set as the set capacity required as a sales product, which is a relatively large amount, thereby determining the supply amount of each cosmetic material. In this embodiment, the composition ratio determination unit 920 can determine the composition ratio data as the result that is closest to the skin condition analysis result from multiple preset composition ratios.

[0228] Additionally, step S140 may include a step of determining composition ratio data by the composition ratio determination unit 920, taking into account the user's cosmetic purchase history. For example, if the user has a history of purchasing cosmetics with colors brighter than the skin condition measured by terminal 10, the composition ratio determination unit 920 may determine the composition ratio data to display colors brighter than those based on the skin condition analysis results.

[0229] Then, the composition ratio modification unit 930 of the control unit 900 can provide the user with the determined composition ratio data (at least one of the composition ratio based on the skin condition analysis results and the composition ratio considering the cosmetic purchase history) through the user interface unit 130, etc., and then collect the composition ratio modification data from the user, and modify the composition ratio data and the supply quantity of each cosmetic ingredient S150 according to the results.

[0230] In step S150, the user may also choose not to modify the composition ratio through the user interface 130 or the terminal 20. In this case, the determined composition ratio data can be directly maintained in step S140. The above-described steps S110 to S150 are steps for collecting necessary information and generating data for the manufacture of cosmetics. Their order can be interchanged, and each step can be transformed into more detailed steps, thereby interacting with the user or processing data.

[0231] After collecting the necessary information and processing the data in order to manufacture cosmetics, the steps for manufacturing physical cosmetics are carried out.

[0232] The control unit 900 can control the robotic arm control unit 820 and drive the transfer means 800. As described above, the transfer means 800 can be composed of a first transfer unit 801 and a second transfer unit 802. In the various steps described later, any one or both of the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can be used as the transfer means 800 in the cosmetic manufacturing process.

[0233] Specifically, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the mixing container 161 to the cosmetic supply unit 200 side S210.

[0234] At this time, the mixing container 161 is positioned on one side ( Figure 4 When the cosmetic supply section 200 (with the left side as the reference) moves, the mixing container 161 located in the component supply section 160 can move directly to the cosmetic supply section 200, and the mixing container 161 moves toward the side disposed on the other side (with the left side as the reference). Figure 4 When the cosmetic supply section 200 (with the right side as the reference) moves to the side, the mixing container 161 located in the component supply section 160 can be placed on the placement section 300 and then moved to the cosmetic supply section 200.

[0235] The movement of the mixing container 161 toward the cosmetic supply section 200 can be understood as the movement toward the mixing container placement slot 2547a of the mixing container transfer section 250.

[0236] On the one hand, when the S210 step is performed for the second time, that is, as a sample manufacturing mode, the mixing container 161 is provided to the user and then recycled again. When the S210 step is performed again, the control unit 900 can use the transfer means 800 to directly move the mixing container 161 located on the component supply unit 160 to the cosmetic supply unit 200, or move the mixing container 161 located on the component supply unit 160 to the placement unit 300, and then move it from the placement unit 300 to the cosmetic supply unit 200 again.

[0237] As described above, the specific control method is set differently depending on the number of times step S210 is performed, and the mixing container 161 provided to the user as a sample is also used in subsequent processes, thereby preventing unnecessary process waste and material waste, and thus reducing the production cost of the product.

[0238] Then, the control unit 900 controls the cosmetic supply unit 200 to supply cosmetic S220 to the mixing container 161 according to a preset composition ratio. The control unit 900 can control the cosmetic to be sequentially dispensed from each box 142 through the cosmetic supply unit 220 to correspond to the preset composition ratio data and manufacturing quantity. For this purpose, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move and fix the mixing container moving block 254 of the mixing container transfer unit 250. Specifically, the transfer means 800 can operate the mixing container locking lever 255 to selectively constrain it in the mixing container stop member 256, and can move the mixing container moving block 254 in a preset order according to the composition ratio data, so that the mixing container 161 receives the cosmetic supplied by the cosmetic supply unit 220. The movement of the mixing container transfer unit 250 located on one side can be performed by the second transfer unit 802, and the movement of the mixing container transfer unit 250 located on the other side can be performed by the first transfer unit 801.

[0239] On the one hand, in step S220, the control unit 900 can adjust the supply speed of the cosmetic supply unit 220 according to the amount of cosmetic supplied. For example, when supplying any type of cosmetic stored in any of the boxes 142 to the mixing container 161, the cosmetic supply unit 220 can supply cosmetic relatively quickly when the ratio B / A of the amount B already supplied is lower than a preset range, and can supply cosmetic relatively slowly when the ratio is higher than the preset range, for the total amount A to be supplied to that box 142. Thus, rapid supply can be completed in the initial period when fine control is not required, thereby shortening the overall cosmetic supply time. As a method for measuring the amount B already supplied, the control unit 900 can calculate the supply amount based on the recording of the time and speed at which the cosmetic supply unit 220 is driven, or it can calculate the amount by receiving changing weight data from the weight sensor provided in the mixing container moving block 254.

[0240] The mixing container 161, which completes the injection of cosmetics in the cosmetics supply section 200, can be moved to the mixing section 400 by the transfer means 800 (S230).

[0241] When cosmetics are injected into the mixing container 161 from the cosmetic supply unit 200 located on one side, the mixing container 161 can be moved directly from the cosmetic supply unit 200 to the mixing unit 400 via the second transfer unit 802. Alternatively, when cosmetics are injected into the mixing container 161 from the cosmetic supply unit 200 located on the other side, the mixing container 161 can be placed on the placement unit 300 via the first transfer unit 801, and then moved from the placement unit 300 to the mixing unit 400 via the second transfer unit 802.

[0242] The control unit 900 drives (e.g., rotates) the mixing unit 400 to apply external force to the mixing container 161, thereby mixing the cosmetic material S240 contained in the mixing container 161. As described above, the mixing unit 400 can rotate on its own axis while rapidly revolving the mixing container 161, and the cosmetic material inside the mixing container 161 can be uniformly mixed through the resulting eddies. At this time, after the mixing unit 400 stops rotating, the first rotating member 402 of the mixing unit 400, into which the mixing container 161 is inserted, can be controlled by the control unit 900 to stop at the same position. In this case, the transfer means 800 can insert the mixing container 161 into the first rotating member 402 stopped at the preset position, thus having the advantage of simplifying the control for inserting the mixing container 161 into the first rotating member 402.

[0243] Steps S210 to S240 can be understood as supplying cosmetic materials to the mixing container 161 and mixing multiple cosmetic materials contained in the mixing container 161.

[0244] After completing step S240, the control unit 900 determines whether the manufacturing mode collected in step S120 is a sample manufacturing mode or a finished product manufacturing mode (S310).

[0245] Assuming that the finished product manufacturing mode is selected instead of the sample manufacturing mode, process S500 can be performed to manufacture cosmetic materials according to the type of cosmetic. The specific details of step S500 will be described later.

[0246] The control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to supply the user with a completed cosmetic container (first container or second container) S900, which has been manufactured in step S500 and transferred to the groove 167 of the component supply unit 160. Specifically, the control unit 900 can control the second transfer unit 802 to place the completed cosmetic container (first container or second container) into the groove 167 of the component supply unit 160. At this time, the user can open the component supply door 129 and remove the completed cosmetic container placed on the component supply unit 160. In addition, the second transfer unit 802 can push open the tray 165 of the component supply unit 160 to discharge the completed cosmetic container placed on the component supply unit 160 to the outside of the main body 100.

[0247] On one hand, if the judgment result of step S310 indicates a sample manufacturing mode, the control unit 900 can move the mixing container 161 of the mixing unit 400 to the groove 167 or the mixing container support 163a of the component supply unit 160 via the transfer means 800, so that the mixed cosmetic material contained in the mixing container 161 can be used as a sample (S320). At this time, the second transfer unit 802 can be used as the transfer means 800. According to the embodiment, the control unit 900 can also control the process by moving the mixing container 161 of the mixing unit 400 to the placement unit 300 via the transfer means 800, and then moving the mixing container 161 from the placement unit 300 to the component supply unit 160.

[0248] The control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to supply the mixing container 161 delivered by the component supply unit 160 to the user (S330). It can be understood that the S330 step is essentially the same as the S900 step described above.

[0249] The user has selected the sample manufacturing mode, so the user can take the mixing container 161 provided as a sample for testing and then place it back in the component supply section 160, specifically in the groove 167 of the component supply section 160 or on the mixing container support section 163a.

[0250] At this time, a certain sensing unit, such as a weight sensor, can be provided in at least one of the tray 165, the groove 167, or the mixing container support 163a to provide the ability to sense whether the user has put the sample cosmetic back into the mixing container 161. Alternatively, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can also obtain information from the user interface 130 whether the user has put the mixing container 161 back into the component supply section 160 after using the cosmetic. Alternatively, the control unit 900 can notify the user of the automatic recycling component supply section 160 through the user interface 130 after a preset time, thereby guiding the user to put the mixing container 161 back into the component supply section 160.

[0251] The control unit 900 can use the transfer means 800 to move the tray 165 of the component supply unit 160 back into the body 100, thereby allowing the mixing container 161 to be recycled (S340).

[0252] Simultaneously, the control unit 900 can collect subsequent manufacturing mode data from the user through the manufacturing mode receiving unit 950, and collect composition ratio modification data when necessary (S350). The subsequent manufacturing mode is the same as the manufacturing mode in step S120 above, and can be collected through the user interface unit 130, etc., and can be one of a finished product manufacturing request, a composition ratio modification request, or a scrap request. At this time, when the user selects a composition ratio modification request as the subsequent manufacturing mode, the control unit 900 can further collect composition ratio modification data through the composition ratio modification unit 930.

[0253] In step S350, when the subsequent manufacturing mode collected is a finished product manufacturing request (S360), the control unit 900 can change the total manufacturing quantity of the cosmetics, changing the manufacturing mode from sample manufacturing mode to finished product manufacturing mode to correspond with finished product manufacturing (S370). At this time, the manufacturing quantity data of the cosmetics that need further manufacturing can be set as the volume provided as a sample minus the total volume required in the finished product. According to the embodiment, the control unit 900 can also consider the difference between the initial weight provided as a sample and the recovered weight to set the manufacturing quantity of the cosmetics that need further manufacturing.

[0254] Then, the control unit 900 can repeat the steps below S210. As a result, the supply of further cosmetic materials for manufacturing the finished product is completed according to the preset composition ratio, the data is changed to the finished product manufacturing mode, and therefore, based on the judgment result in step S310, the process below S500 can be performed.

[0255] On one hand, if the result of step S360 is not a finished product manufacturing request, the control unit 900 determines whether the user's request is a composition ratio modification request S380. This sequence diagram illustrates the case where steps S360 and S380 are performed sequentially; however, in the actual control program, it can also be processed as a branch logic.

[0256] If the judgment result in step S380 is not a request to modify the composition ratio, it is treated as a request to discard the manufactured sample, and the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the mixing container 161 containing the mixed cosmetics from the component supply unit 160 to the recycling unit 112 (S420). At this time, the second transfer unit 802 can be used as the transfer means 800.

[0257] If the determination result in step S380 indicates a request to modify the composition ratio, the control unit 900 determines whether the composition ratio modification described above can be performed (S390). User modification requests can be varied; therefore, depending on the situation, there may be cases where modification cannot be performed using the cosmetic material already manufactured in the mixing container 161. For example, when excluding a specific ingredient from the cosmetic material, or when a larger amount of a specific cosmetic material is required compared to the amount needed in the finished product, it is difficult to cope by further supplying cosmetic material to the mixing container 161 containing the manufactured cosmetic material. In this case, the control unit 900 can output information that the composition ratio cannot be modified to the user through the user interface unit 130 (S430) and retrieve the mixing container 161, which was manufactured as a sample in step S420.

[0258] On the one hand, if it is determined in step S390 that the composition ratio can be modified, then the control unit 900 determines the composition ratio data for manufacturing the new sample and the manufacturing quantity S400 according to the composition ratio requested for modification. In essence, it can be performed in the same way as step S150, but the volume of cosmetics already added to the mixing container 161 can be taken into account to calculate the further addition amount of each cosmetic.

[0259] Then, the control unit 900 can repeat the steps below S210. Thus, according to the changed composition ratio data and manufacturing quantity, cosmetic materials are further supplied to manufacture other samples. Since it is still in sample manufacturing mode, the process below S320 can be performed based on the judgment result in step S310.

[0260] According to the embodiment, the number of times a sample can be requested for modification can be limited. The control unit 900 can inform the user interface unit 130 of the limit on the number of requests before or after performing steps S350 and S370, or inform the user that a sample modification request cannot be made again.

[0261] Steps S310 to S430 can be understood as steps to provide sample cosmetics to the user.

[0262] Through the process described above, users can also receive samples of cosmetics they want to manufacture, or customized cosmetics suitable for their skin condition, for testing or modification and testing. They can directly manufacture finished products or manufacture finished products after testing samples, thus greatly improving their satisfaction with the cosmetic manufacturing device 10.

[0263] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, we will specifically observe the manufacturing process of the cosmetic type (e.g., whether it is the first container or the second container) as performed in step S500.

[0264] Figure 13 It is based on Figure 12 The diagram shows the sequence of manufacturing steps for each type of cosmetic.

[0265] refer to Figure 13 As in step S500, the control unit 900 can move the mixing container 161, which has been mixed in the mixing unit 400, to the component placement unit 50 (specifically, the placement unit 300) by the transfer means 800. The mixing container 161 placed on the placement unit 300 can wait for S510 for subsequent processes.

[0266] In step S110, if the type of cosmetic collected is the first container (S520), the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the dispensing component 162 provided in the component supply unit 160 to the upper part of the mixing container 161 placed on the placement unit 300. This process can be performed by the second transfer unit 802, which can move the dispensing component 162 to a predetermined position and then hold the dispensing component 162 continuously. The type of cosmetic can be transferred from the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20 to the control unit 900.

[0267] Then, the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800 to attach the dispensing member 162 to the mixing container 161 on the placement unit 300 (S620). The attachment of the mixing container 161 and the dispensing member 162 can be accomplished by screw attachment. The mixing container 161 is fixed in the mixing container placement slot 302 of the placement unit 300. Therefore, the transfer means 800 can align the upper end of the mixing container 161 with the dispensing member 162 and then rotate the dispensing member 162 to complete the screw attachment.

[0268] At this time, the dispensing component 162 may include a straw 1622, a pump part 1621, and a cap 1623. Before the straw 1622 is screwed into the cap 1623 and the mixing container 161, it needs to enter the interior of the mixing container 161. However, the straw 1622 is made of a flexible material, and its shape or orientation is not fixed. Therefore, during the connection process, the first transfer unit 801 can support the straw 1622 to smoothly enter the inlet of the mixing container 161. Specifically, the second transfer unit 802 may hold the cap 1623, and the first transfer unit 801 may move up and down while in contact with the straw 1622 to make the straw 1622 neatly aligned with the inlet 1611 of the mixing container 161 located on the placement part 300.

[0269] By completing the combination of the mixing container 161 and the dispensing component 162, a first container is provided as a finished product. The control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the assembled container S630 on the placement unit 300 to the component supply unit 160. This can be performed by the second transfer unit 802. As described above, the processes S610 to S630 can be understood as the assembly process of the first container.

[0270] On the one hand, when it is determined in step S520 that the type of cosmetic to be manufactured is a second container, the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800 to move the base container 164 located on the component supply unit 160 to the assembly unit 500 (S710). This process can be performed by the second transfer unit 802.

[0271] Then, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to take the mixing container 161 from the placement unit 300 and pour the mixed cosmetic material into the base container 164 for discharge S720. Discharging the cosmetic material from the mixing container 161 can be done by rotating the mixing container 161 so that the cosmetic material falls naturally due to gravity. For this purpose, the transfer means 800 can tilt the mixing container 161 at a certain angle. In this case, the cosmetic material inside the mixing container 161 may not be completely discharged. The transfer means 800 can further rotate the mixing container 161 by a preset angle and shake it after a certain period of time to discharge as much cosmetic material as possible through inertia. The process described above can be performed by the second transfer unit 802. For example, the mixing container 161 can be rotated from 150 degrees to 180 degrees. When rotated 180 degrees, it can be understood that the inlet portion 1611 of the mixing container 161 faces the bottom.

[0272] The control unit 900 can further control the transfer means 800 that performs step S720 to move the mixing container 161, which has completed the discharge of cosmetics, to the recycling unit 112 for recycling.

[0273] Then, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to grasp the impregnated component 168 from the component supply unit 160 and insert it into the base container 164 containing the cosmetic material S730. This process can be performed by the second transfer unit 802.

[0274] Then, the control unit 900 can use the transfer means 800 to move the base container 164 containing the impregnation component 168 to the absorption unit 600 (S740). This process can be performed by the first transfer unit 801.

[0275] The base container 164 can be moved from the absorption unit 600 to a position corresponding to the absorption tool 620 via the base container transfer unit 650, and the absorption process S750 is performed by the absorption tool 620. The control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 for the movement of the base container 164 and the operation of the absorption tool 620. Specifically, the movement of the base container 164 by the base container transfer unit 650 can be performed by the first transfer unit 801, and the pressure applied by the absorption tool 620 for absorption can be performed by the second transfer unit 802. That is, the absorption process can be completed by the cooperation of the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802. The moving structure of the base container transfer unit 650 is the same as that of the mixing container transfer unit 250 described above, and can include guide rails, moving blocks, locking rods, stop members, etc., and can operate substantially the same. However, the moving block of the base container transfer unit 650 may further include a structure for linkage with the absorption tool 620. Through this process, the cosmetic material contained in the base container 164 can be fully impregnated in the impregnation component 168.

[0276] Once the absorption process in step S750 is complete, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the base container 164 from the absorption unit 600 to the assembly unit 500. This process can be performed by the first transfer unit 801.

[0277] Then, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to take out the covering container 166 from the component supply unit 160 and combine it with the base container 164 on the assembly unit 500 S770. This process can also be performed by the first transfer unit 801.

[0278] By completing the combination of the base container 164 and the cover container 166, the second container is completed as a finished product. The control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the assembled container S780 on the assembly unit 500 to the component supply unit 160. This can be performed by the second transfer unit 802. As described above, steps S710 to S780 can be understood as the assembly process of the second container.

[0279] Through the process described above, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 and its control method can provide a first container as a pump-type container and a second container as a powder box-type container, depending on the user's selection. However, the concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. According to embodiments, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can also be implemented and operated by providing only one of the first and second containers. In this case, the components and control methods used in the manufacture of other types of cosmetics may be omitted in the above description.

[0280] on the one hand, Figure 14 It is to organize Figure 12 as well as Figure 13 The diagram shows the sequence of manufacturing methods for cosmetic manufacturing apparatuses, depending on the type of cosmetic.

[0281] refer to Figure 14 The control method for the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention may include: a step of collecting or calculating data related to the type of cosmetic selected by the user through a control unit 900; a step of controlling the cosmetic supply unit 200 and the transfer means 800 through the control unit 900 to dispense at least one cosmetic into a mixing container 161; a step of controlling the mixing unit 400 and the transfer means 800 through the control unit 900 to mix the cosmetic contained in the mixing container 161 in the mixing unit 400; a step of controlling the transfer means 800 through the control unit 900 to move the mixing container 161 containing the mixed cosmetic to the component placement unit 50 using the transfer means 800; and a step of controlling the transfer means 800 through the control unit 900 to move the mixing container 161 containing the mixed cosmetic to the component placement unit 50 when the user selects and inputs the type of cosmetic into the control unit 900. When the first container is used, the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800 to move the dispensing member 162 located on the component supply unit 160 to the upper part of the component placement unit 50, and assembles the dispensing member 162 and the mixing container 161 to form the first container; when the type of cosmetic input to the control unit 900 is the second container, the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800 to move the base container 164, the impregnation member 168 and the covering container 166 located on the component supply unit 160 to the component placement unit 50, and assembles them together to form the second container; and the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800 to move the assembled first container or second container to the component supply unit 160 and provide it to the user.

[0282] The following, with Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 Together, for further reference Figures 15 to 18 Take a closer look at the absorption section 600 described above.

[0283] The absorption section 600 is provided to provide a base container 164 containing cosmetics and an impregnation component 168, thereby impregnating the cosmetics in the impregnation component 168. That is, the absorption section 600 allows the cosmetics to be contained in the base container 164 placed on the assembly section 500, and facilitates the easy impregnation (absorption) of the cosmetics in the impregnation component 168 with the impregnation component 168 resting on top of the cosmetics. For this purpose, the absorption section 600 may include an absorption tool 620 and a base container transfer section 650.

[0284] The absorption tool 620 can pressurize the impregnation member 168 with a preset pressure, thereby impregnating the cosmetic material in the impregnation member 168. In addition, the base container transfer unit 650 can be provided to move the base container 164 containing the cosmetic material and the impregnation member 168 to the position where impregnation is completed by the absorption tool 620.

[0285] Specifically, see reference Figure 8 The absorption tool 620 may include a positive position retainer 630 and a pressure unit 640, and may also include a standby unit 660.

[0286] The absorption tool 620 is provided at the lower part of the worktable 114, which is provided with the placement part 300 and the assembly part 500, and the positioning retainer 630 is provided to be height-adjustable at the lower part of the worktable 114. The positioning retainer 630 may include a bracket 631, a fixing part 632, a fixing rod 633, and a guide part 634.

[0287] The bracket 631 can support or connect the fixing part 632, the fixing rod 633, and the guide part 634. The fixing part 632 can be provided on the bracket 631 and protrude downward. When the base container transfer part 650, on which the base container 164 is placed, is located below it, the fixing part 632 can fix the base container 164 so that it does not move, thereby keeping the base container 164 in the correct position.

[0288] The fixing rod 633 can be connected to the bracket 631 and is configured to protrude to one side, so that it can move in the up, down and left and right directions when held by any of the transfer units (e.g., the first transfer unit 801) in the transfer means 800, so that the bracket 631 can be used when it moves.

[0289] In addition, the guide part 634 can be located between the bottom of the worktable 114 and the bottom surface of the absorption part 600, passing through the bracket 631 and extending in the height direction, thereby guiding the bracket 631 to rise and fall in the height direction.

[0290] Therefore, when the support 631 is in the raised state, the base container 164 is placed directly below the fixing part 632. Then the transfer means 800 grabs the fixing rod 633 and lowers the support 631 downwards, so that the base container 164 is fixed by the fixing part 632 and remains in the correct position.

[0291] On the one hand, if the base container 164 remains stationary and fixed in the correct position, the pressurizing unit 640 can simultaneously move up and down within the correct position retainer 630, pressurizing the impregnating component 168 located within the base container 164, thereby facilitating the absorption of the cosmetic material contained in the base container 164 into the impregnating component 168. Specifically, the pressurizing unit 640 may include a pressurizing cylinder 641, a pressurizing handle 642, and a pressurizing spring 643.

[0292] refer to Figure 16 as well as Figure 18 The pressurizing cylinder 641 can slide up and down inside the fixing part 632, and the impregnation component 168 is contained inside the base container 164 which is pressurized and fixed in the positive position by the fixing part 632.

[0293] The pressure handle 642 may have one part extending through the center of the pressure cylinder 641 and inserted into the interior of the pressure cylinder 641, and the other part protruding outwards towards the upper part of the pressure cylinder 641 so that it can be pressed by the transfer means 800.

[0294] Additionally, the pressure spring 643 may be elastically disposed between the pressure cylinder 641 and the pressure handle 642, thereby providing elastic transmission of the external force to the pressure cylinder 641 when the pressure handle 642 is pressed. Therefore, for example, when the second transfer unit 802 of the transfer means 800 presses the pressure handle 642 more than once, the pressure cylinder 641 applies appropriate elastic force to the impregnation member 168, thereby ensuring that the impregnation member 168 is not damaged while impregnating the cosmetic material in the base container 164 within the impregnation member 168.

[0295] Additionally, refer to Figure 15 as well as Figure 16 The standby unit 660 may be provided to keep the positioning retainer 630 in a position that is as high as possible so that the base container 164 can easily enter below the positioning retainer 630 without applying any external force to the positioning retainer 630.

[0296] The positioning retainer 630 is a heavy object, and therefore, it may descend downwards due to gravity when no external force is applied. Therefore, in order for the base container transfer unit 650, which holds the base container 164, to enter below the positioning retainer 630, it would be inconvenient to raise the positioning retainer 630. To address this, the standby unit 660 can be used to keep the positioning retainer 630 in an elevated state so that it does not interfere with the base container transfer unit 650 when it enters.

[0297] Specifically, the standby unit 660 can connect the connecting wire 661 as a medium to the positive position retainer 630 to apply a force in the opposite direction of gravity to the positive position retainer 630. The connecting wire 661 can be a regular wire, and one or more pulley devices (not shown) can be used along the route of the connecting wire 661.

[0298] At this time, the standby unit 660 is configured to be heavier than the position retainer 630, so that when no external force is applied to or the external force is removed from the position retainer 630, the position retainer 630 rises due to the weight of the standby unit 660.

[0299] Therefore, with the standby unit 660 connected to the bracket 631 of the positioning retainer 630, the positioning retainer 630 can maintain a naturally rising state due to the weight of the standby unit 660. Since the positioning retainer 630 is raised by the standby unit 660, when the base container 164 is mounted on the base container transfer unit 650, the base container transfer unit 650 can easily enter so that the base container 164 is located below the fixing unit 632 without lifting the fixing unit 632.

[0300] With the base container 164 located below the fixing part 632, the transfer means 800 can grasp the fixing rod 633 and press it down while the fixing part 632 moves downward, thus fixing the base container 164 in the correct position. Therefore, as the bracket 631 and the fixing part 632 move downward, the standby part 660 can move upward due to the external force applied by the transfer means 800.

[0301] In addition, when the impregnation of the impregnation component 168 ends, the transfer means 800 can slightly lift the fixing rod 633 upwards, and the positioning retainer 630 can easily rise upwards as a whole due to the weight of the standby part 660. Therefore, in order to raise the positioning retainer 630, the external force applied to the transfer means 800 can be reduced.

[0302] Additionally, the base container transfer unit 650 may be provided for moving the base container 164, which contains the cosmetic and the impregnation component 168, to a position where impregnation is completed by the absorption tool 620. That is, the base container transfer unit 650 can move the base container 164 to a position below the fixing part 632 of the positioning retainer 630. The base container transfer unit 650 may be movable below the positioning retainer 630 and placed on the base container 164 containing the cosmetic and the impregnation component 168.

[0303] Specifically, the base container transfer unit 650 may include a base container guide rail 651, a base container moving block 652, a base container locking rod 653, and a base container stop 654.

[0304] The base container guide rail 651 can be provided to extend from the outside of the absorption tool 620 to the bottom of the absorption tool 620. The base container moving block 652 is provided on the base container guide rail 651 and can move along the base container guide rail 651, and the base container 164 can be placed on the upper side.

[0305] Furthermore, the base container locking lever 653 is provided to move the base container moving block 652, and it is formed to protrude outward from one side of the base container moving block 652. Thus, the transfer means 800 can grasp the base container locking lever 653 and move the base container moving block 652 in the desired direction.

[0306] Furthermore, the base container stop 654 can be spaced apart from the base container guide rail 651 by a certain interval, and extend parallel to the base container guide rail 651. Multiple slots 654a can be formed in the base container stop 654 to lock one side of the base container locking rod 653. When the base container locking rod 653 is locked in the slots 654a, the movement of the base container moving block 652 is restricted, and during the absorption process of the absorption section 600, the base container 164 can be prevented from moving freely.

[0307] The following is related to the above explanation. Figure 9 Together, for further reference Figure 19 as well as Figure 20 More specific observations were made regarding the transfer methods (800).

[0308] Figure 19 This is a perspective view showing the first clamp 840 in the transfer means 800. Figure 20 This is a perspective view showing the second clamp 860 in the transfer means 800. At this time, Figure 19 (a) is a diagram showing the first clamp 840 without the gripping component. Figure 19(b) is a diagram showing the first clamp 840 when the gripping component is in use. Additionally, Figure 20 (a) is a diagram showing the second clamp 860 without the gripping component. Figure 20 (b) is a diagram showing the second clamp 860 when the gripping component is in use.

[0309] refer to Figure 9 , Figure 19 as well as Figure 20 The transfer means 800, acting as a moving component, can support the movement of the container body to provide cosmetics into the container body. Furthermore, it can be combined with a container body containing cosmetics and a body cap protecting the container body. In this case, the container body refers to the mixing container 161 including the first container and the base container 164 including the second container, and the body cap refers to the dispensing component 162 including the first container and the covering container 166 including the second container.

[0310] The transfer means 800 is provided by a multi-joint robotic arm 810, which can be moved from the robotic arm control unit 820 to the other side. Figure 4 as well as Figure 9 The first transfer unit 801 extends from the right side (based on the reference point) and extends from the robotic arm control unit 820 to one side ( Figure 4 as well as Figure 9 A second transfer unit 802 is provided, extending from the left side (based on the reference point). Additionally, a first clamp 840 is provided in the first transfer unit 801, and a second clamp 860 is provided in the second transfer unit 802. At this time, the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can move independently and can perform different functions relative to each other.

[0311] The first clamp 840 selectively holds a component and may include a plurality of first clamping bodies 841. Specifically, the first clamp 840 may include two first clamping bodies 841, and the two first clamping bodies 841 may be provided with the same shape. In this embodiment, the example of the first clamp 840 holding the component for movement is illustrated. However, the idea of ​​the present invention is not limited to this; in addition to the holding method, the first clamp 840 may also support the component for movement in various forms such as suction.

[0312] The first clamp 841 can be attached to the first transfer unit 801 via the first connecting portion 842. In this case, the first clamp 841 and the first connecting portion 842 can be provided as a single unit, and the first connecting portion 842 and the first transfer unit 801 can be attached by other means. For example, the first connecting portion 842 can have multiple through holes (not marked), and a bolt or other attachment method can be used to attach it to the first transfer unit 801 after passing through these holes. However, the method of attaching the first connecting portion 842 and the first transfer unit 801 is not limited to this; the first connecting portion 842 and the first transfer unit 801 can be provided by various attachment methods. Furthermore, the first clamp 841 and the first connecting portion 842 can be provided and attached by other components.

[0313] The two first grippers 841 can be configured in a relative position. In this case, the first grippers 841 can be spaced apart by the movement of the robotic arm control unit 820. Specifically, before gripping the component, such as... Figure 19 As shown in (a), the first clamp 841 can be set to separate a preset interval, and in order to hold the component, as Figure 19 As shown in (b), it can be configured to be connected to the first clamp 841.

[0314] The first clamp 841 can be formed such that its outer side, except for the opposing surface, is flat. Specifically, when the first clamp 841 is formed such that one side of the left side is flat (referring to the attached drawing), the other side of the first clamp 841 is also flat (referring to the attached drawing). Furthermore, when the first coupling portion 842 is provided at one end of the first clamp 841, the other end of the first clamp 841 can be formed flat.

[0315] The first clamp 841 may have a first-1 gripping groove 843 formed on opposite surfaces. Specifically, when the first clamp 841 is provided in a configuration where the other side of the first clamp 841 on the left side and the other side of the first clamp 841 on the right side are opposite to each other as shown in the attached drawings, the first-1 gripping groove 843 may be formed on the other side of the first clamp 841 on the left side and the other side of the first clamp 841 on the right side.

[0316] The first-1 gripping groove 843 is a recess formed on one side of the first clamp 841, and can thus be formed into a shape corresponding to the mixing container 161. Specifically, the first-1 gripping groove 843 can be formed into a recessed groove shape that becomes deeper from the outside of the first clamp 841 toward the center. That is, the deepest groove can be formed on the central side of the first clamp 841.

[0317] like Figure 19As shown in (b), when the robotic arm control unit 820 is activated and engaged as part of the first gripper 841, a first-first gripping area 8431 can be formed by the first-first gripping groove 843 formed on each of the first grippers 841. The first-first gripping area 8431 can correspond to the mixing container 161 having a corner structure in its longitudinal section. That is, when the mixing container 161 is provided in the first-first gripping area 8431, two opposite corners of the mixing container 161 can be provided between the two first grippers 841, and the remaining two corners of the mixing container 161 can be provided in the deepest part of the recess in the first-first gripping groove 843.

[0318] A first pad 844, serving as a friction pad, may be provided on one side of the first clamp 841. More than one first pad 844 may be provided in each of the first clamps 841, preferably, multiple pads may be provided at intervals on the outer side of the first-1 gripping groove 843.

[0319] The first pad 844 is used to prevent friction between the mixing container 161 and the first clamp 841, and multiple pads may be provided on the outside of the first-1 gripping groove 843. The first pad 844 may be made of an elastic material; for example, it may be made of sponge. However, the material of the first pad 844 is not limited to this, and it may be made of a variety of materials capable of preventing friction.

[0320] The first pad 844 can be configured to protrude from the outside of the first-1 grip groove 843. That is, the first pad 844 can be provided in a protruding form inside the first-1 grip area 8431.

[0321] After adjusting the position of the first clamp 841 so that a portion of the first clamp 841 is in contact, the first pad 844 can directly contact the mixing container 161 when the first clamp 840 holds the mixing container 161. The first pad 844 is provided in the first-1 gripping area 8431 to prevent the first clamp 841 from contacting the mixing container 161 and causing the mixing container 161 to break.

[0322] A first-second gripping groove 845 can be formed on one side of the first-first gripping groove 843. Specifically, the first-second gripping groove 845 is a groove formed on a portion of the first-first gripping groove 843, and one of each can be formed in a first clamping body 841. When the position of the first clamping body 841 is adjusted so that a portion of the first clamping body 841 is in contact, a first-second gripping area 8451 can be formed inside the first-first gripping area 8431 through the two first-second gripping grooves 845. At this time, the first-second gripping area 8451 can correspond to the shape of a ball-shaped rod, for example, it can correspond to the shape of a locking rod 255 for a mixing container.

[0323] A retaining pin 846 may be provided on one side of the first clamp 841. The retaining pin 846, a component for gripping the second container, may be formed to protrude outwards from the first clamp 841. In this case, the retaining pin 846 may be present in all of the first clamps 841. Preferably, retaining pins 846 of the same shape may be provided in opposite configurations in each of the first clamps 841. This embodiment illustrates an example where each side of the first clamp 841 has one retaining pin 846, and each bottom of the first clamp 841 has one retaining pin 846; however, the position and number of retaining pins 846 are not limited to this. For example, the retaining pin 846 may be provided only on the sides of the first clamp 841, or only on the bottom of the first clamp 841. In this case, the upper surface of the first clamp 841 refers to the surface where the first connecting portion 842 is located, and the lower surface refers to the opposite surface of the upper surface where the first connecting portion 842 is not located; the side surface of the first clamp 841 refers to the surface excluding both the upper and lower surfaces.

[0324] One side of the fixing pin 846 can be formed with a certain curvature. Specifically, a certain curvature can be formed on the opposite side of the fixing pin 846.

[0325] By adjusting the position of the first clamp 841 to allow one side of the first clamp 841 to engage in order to grip the component, a certain interval can be maintained between the opposing fixing pins 846. That is, a third gripping area 8461 can be formed between each fixing pin 846. Since one side of each fixing pin 846 is formed with a certain curvature, the third gripping area 8461 can also be provided with a certain curvature. Thus, the third gripping area 8461 can grip a circular component.

[0326] The third gripping area 8461 can be formed to a size corresponding to the components of the second container. Specifically, the third gripping area 8461 can be formed to a size corresponding to the base container 164, the cover container 166, and the impregnating component 168. Thus, the first clamp 840 can grip the base container 164, the cover container 166, and the impregnating component 168 through the third gripping area 8461.

[0327] A second clamp 860 may be provided in the second transfer unit 802. The second clamp 860 selectively holds the component and may include a plurality of second clamp bodies 861. Specifically, the second clamp 860 may include two second clamp bodies 861, which may be provided to have the same shape. In this case, the second clamp 860 may be the same as the first clamp 840, supporting and moving the component in various ways except for the method of holding the component.

[0328] The second clamp 861 can be coupled to the second transfer unit 802 via the second coupling portion 862. In this case, the second clamp 861 and the second coupling portion 862 can be provided as a single unit. Furthermore, the method of coupling the second transfer unit 802 and the second coupling portion 862 can be the same as the method of coupling the first transfer unit 801 and the first coupling portion 842; however, the concept of the present invention is not limited to this, and therefore, the method of coupling the second transfer unit 802 and the second coupling portion 862 can be varied.

[0329] The two second grippers 861 can be configured in a relative position. In this case, the second grippers 861 can be spaced out according to the movement of the robotic arm control unit 820. Specifically, before gripping the component, such as... Figure 20 As shown in (a), the second clamp 861 can be set to separate a preset interval, and in order to hold the component, as Figure 20 As shown in (b), it can be configured to be connected to the second clamp 861.

[0330] The two second clamps 861 may have their outer surfaces, excluding their opposing surfaces, formed into a flat shape. Specifically, when one side of the second clamp 861 on the left is formed into a flat shape (referring to the attached drawing), the other side of the second clamp 861 on the right may also be formed into a flat shape (referring to the attached drawing). Furthermore, when a second connecting portion 862 is provided at one end of the second clamp 861, the other end of the second clamp 861 may be formed into a flat shape.

[0331] The second clamp 861 may have a second-first gripping groove 863 formed on its opposite surfaces. Specifically, when the second clamp 861 is provided in a configuration where the other side of the second clamp 861 provided on the left side and the other side of the second clamp 861 provided on the right side are opposite to each other as shown in the attached drawing, the second-first gripping groove 863 may be formed on the other side of the second clamp 861 provided on the left side and the other side of the second clamp 861 provided on the right side.

[0332] The second-first gripping groove 863 is a recess formed on one side of the second clamp 861, and can thus be shaped to correspond to the mixing container 161. Specifically, the second-first gripping groove 863 can be provided with the same size and shape as the first-first gripping groove 843, and can be formed as a recessed groove that deepens from the outside of the second clamp 861 toward the center. That is, the deepest groove can be formed on the central side of the second clamp 861.

[0333] like Figure 20As shown in (b), when the robotic arm control unit 820 is activated to engage with the second gripper 861, a second-first gripping area 8631 can be formed by the second-first gripping groove 863 formed on each of the second grippers 861. The second-first gripping area 8631 can correspond to the mixing container 161 with a corner structure in its longitudinal section. That is, when the mixing container 161 is provided in the second-first gripping area 8631, two opposite corners of the mixing container 161 can be provided between the two second grippers 861, and the remaining two corners of the mixing container 161 can be provided in the deepest part of the recess in the second-first gripping groove 863. The second-first gripping area 8631 of the second gripper 860 can be included together with the first-first gripping area 8431 of the first gripper 840 in the first gripping areas 8431 and 8631.

[0334] A second pad 864, serving as a friction pad, can be provided on one side of the second clamp 861. The second pad 864, used to prevent friction between the mixing container 161 and the second clamp 861, can be provided in multiple forms on the outer side of the second-1 gripping groove 863. Alternatively, the second pad 864 can be formed of the same material as the first pad 844; however, the concept of the invention is not limited thereto.

[0335] A second-second gripping groove 865 can be formed on one side of the second-first gripping groove 863. Specifically, the second-second gripping groove 865 is a groove formed on a portion of the second-first gripping groove 863, and one can be formed in each of the second clamping bodies 861. When the position of the second clamping bodies 861 is adjusted so that a portion of the second clamping bodies 861 is in contact, a second-second gripping area 8651 can be formed inside the second-first gripping area 8631 through the two second-second gripping grooves 865. At this time, the second-second gripping area 8651 can correspond to the shape of the ball rod, for example, it can correspond to the shape of the locking rod 255 for the mixing container. The second-second gripping area 8651 of the second clamp 860 can be included together with the first-second gripping area 8451 of the first clamp 840 in the second gripping areas 8451 and 8651.

[0336] A second-third gripping groove 866 can be formed on one side of the second clamp 861. The second-third gripping groove 866 can be formed with a semi-circular cross-section, and can be formed to a size corresponding to the straw 1622 of the dispensing member 162. Specifically, when a part of the second clamp 861 is connected, it can be provided that the second-third gripping grooves 866 formed in each of the two second clamps 861 are connected and have a circular cross-section. That is, a fourth gripping area 8661 can be formed through the second-third gripping groove 866, and the fourth gripping area 8661 can correspond to the size and shape of the straw 1622.

[0337] The fourth gripping area 8661 can be formed with a diameter relatively smaller than that of the second-first gripping area 8631 and the second-second gripping area 8651. Furthermore, the fourth gripping area 8661 can be formed in a position that does not overlap with the second-first gripping area 8631 and the second-second gripping area 8651. Preferably, the second-third gripping groove 866 can be formed adjacent to the upper surface of the second clamping body 861, thereby the second-third gripping groove 866 can be located between the second-first gripping groove 863 and the upper surface of the second clamping body 861. That is, the fourth gripping area 8661 can be formed adjacent to the upper surface of the second clamping body 861. Here, the upper surface of the second clamping body 861 refers to the surface where the second connecting portion 862 is located.

[0338] The fourth gripping area 8661 can be formed with a diameter larger than that of the straw 1622 to grip the straw 1622. Therefore, the straw 1622 can be disposed inside the fourth gripping area 8661. Alternatively, the fourth gripping area 8661 can be formed with a diameter smaller than that of the inlet portion 1611 of the mixing container 161. Therefore, when the second clamp 860 is provided on the upper side of the mixing container 161, the fourth gripping area 8661 can be located on one side of the inlet portion 1611. That is, after the fourth gripping area 8661 is located on one side of the inlet portion 1611, the second clamp 860 can introduce the straw 1622 into the inside of the mixing container 161 through the inlet portion 1611. In other words, since the fourth gripping area 8661 for gripping the straw 1622 is formed to be smaller than that of the inlet portion 1611 of the mixing container 161, the straw 1622 can be disposed inside the inlet portion 1611 without detaching from it. That is, the dispensing component 162 can be accurately set on the upper side of the mixing container 161 with the straw 1622 introduced into the inside of the mixing container 161.

[0339] Figure 21 It is simply shown as Figure 1 The diagram shows the steps involved in combining a mixing container and a dispensing component, which are part of a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus.

[0340] refer to Figure 21(a) The mixing container 161 can be placed on the component placement unit 50. Specifically, the mixing container 161 can be moved from the mixing section 400 to the component placement unit 50 after multiple cosmetic materials contained in the mixing container 161 have been mixed in the mixing section 400. At this time, the movement of the mixing container 161 from the mixing section 400 to the component placement unit 50 can be accomplished by the second transfer unit 802. Specifically, the mixing container 161 can be moved to the component placement unit 50 in a state where it is held on the first-second gripping area 8451 of the second clamp 860. At this time, the mixing container 161 moved by the second clamp 860 can be placed on the placement section 300 of the component placement unit 50; however, the placement position of the mixing container 161 is not limited to the placement section 300.

[0341] The dispensing component 162 can be moved towards the upper side of the mixing container 161 via the first transfer unit 801. Specifically, the first clamp 840 of the first transfer unit 801 can hold the dispensing component 162 supplied in the component supply unit 160 and move it towards the upper side of the mixing container 161 placed on the placement unit 300. At this time, the dispensing component 162 can be positioned at a predetermined distance above the mixing container 161, and at this position, the straw 1622 can also be positioned at a certain distance from the mixing container 161. In addition, the second clamp 860 of the second transfer unit 802 can be positioned in a position that does not overlap with the mixing container 161 and the dispensing component 162.

[0342] refer to Figure 21 (b) One end of the straw 1622 can be neatly positioned via the second transfer unit 802. Specifically, the second clamp 860 of the second transfer unit 802 can move toward the dispensing member 162 to guide the straw 1622 to the correct position. Specifically, the straw 1622 is inserted into the fourth gripping area 8661 of the second clamp 860, thereby supporting the straw 1622 and guiding it to the correct position. At this time, the correct position of the straw 1622 can be the position corresponding to the upper side of the inlet 1611 of the mixing container 161.

[0343] refer to Figure 21 (c) At least a portion of the straw 1622 can be inserted into the inside of the mixing container 161 via the first transfer unit 801. Specifically, when the straw 1622 is neatly arranged by the second clamp 860, the dispensing member 162 can be lowered by holding the first clamp 840 of the dispensing member 162. That is, at least a portion of the straw 1622 can be inserted into the interior of the mixing container 161 while the straw 1622 is lowered as the dispensing member 162 moves.

[0344] refer to Figure 21(d) The position of the second transfer unit 802 can be moved to prevent interference between the second transfer unit 802 and the first transfer unit 801. Specifically, if a portion of the straw 1622 is inserted into the mixing container 161, the second clamp 860 guiding the insertion of the straw 1622 can stop guiding the straw 1622 and move towards the side where the mixing container 161 is not present. That is, a state in which the dispensing component 162 and the mixing container 161 can be combined can be provided.

[0345] refer to Figure 21 (e) The dispensing component 162 and the mixing container 161 can be combined via the first moving unit 801. Specifically, the first clamp 840 of the first transfer unit 801 can hold the dispensing component 162 and engage it with the mixing container 161. At this time, as the first clamp 840 rotates, the dispensing component 162 rotates and can be screwed into the mixing container 161. That is, the mixing container 161 can be sealed by the dispensing component 162.

[0346] The following is a detailed observation of the use of the first clamp 840 and the second clamp 860 in the cosmetic manufacturing process.

[0347] First, the mixing container 161 stored in the component supply section 160 can be moved toward the cosmetic supply section 200 by the transfer means 800, and cosmetics can be stored in the mixing container 161 in the cosmetic supply section 200.

[0348] Specifically, from one side of the main body 100 (with Figure 4 When the cosmetic supply section 200 (with the left side as the reference) contains cosmetics into the mixing container 161 (hereinafter referred to as the first case), the second transfer unit 802 can hold the mixing container 161 supplied in the component supply section 160 and move the mixing container 161 directly to the mixing container transfer section 250 disposed on one side of the main body 100.

[0349] Then, the transfer means 800 can grasp the mixing container locking lever 255 of the mixing container transfer section 250 and move the mixing container 161 to the lower part of the dispensing port 232 of the cosmetic supply section 200. This allows cosmetics to be stored in the mixing container 161. At this time, in the first case where cosmetics are obtained from the cosmetic supply section 200 located on one side of the main body 100, the second transfer unit 802 can move the mixing container 161 by actuating the mixing container transfer section 250 located on one side of the main body 100. Specifically, in the first case, the second clamp 860 of the second transfer unit 802 can actuate the mixing container locking lever 255 of the mixing container transfer section 250 located on one side of the main body 100.

[0350] As another example, from the other side of the main body 100 (with) Figure 4 When the cosmetic supply unit 200 (with the reference on the right side) receives cosmetic into the mixing container 161 (hereinafter referred to as the second case), the second transfer unit 802 can hold the mixing container 161 supplied in the gripping component supply unit 160 and place the mixing container 161 on the placement unit 300. Then, the first transfer unit 801 can hold the mixing container 161 placed on the placement unit 300 and move the mixing container 161 to the mixing container transfer unit 250 disposed on the other side of the main body 100.

[0351] As described above, in the second case where cosmetics are obtained from the cosmetic supply section 200 located on the other side of the main body 100, the first transfer unit 801 may move the mixing container 161 by activating the mixing container transfer section 250 located on the other side of the main body 100.

[0352] Alternatively, in the second case, the first clamp 840 of the first transfer unit 801 can grip the mixing container locking lever 255 of the mixing container transfer section 250, which is located on the other side of the main body 100, and perform the operation. That is, the first transfer unit 801 can grip the mixing container locking lever 255 of the mixing container transfer section 250, located on the other side of the main body 100, and move the mixing container 161 to the lower part of the dispensing port 232 of the cosmetic supply section 200. This allows cosmetics to be stored in the mixing container 161.

[0353] Through the process described above, the mixing container 161, which receives cosmetics from either the cosmetic supply section 200 located on one side of the main body 100 or the cosmetic supply section 200 located on the other side, can be transferred to the mixing section 400 by the transfer means 800.

[0354] In this case, the first transfer unit 801 can transfer the mixing container 161 from the cosmetic supply section 200 to the mixing section 400.

[0355] Alternatively, in the second case, after the first transfer unit 801 places the mixing container 161 on the placement part 300, the second transfer unit 802 transfers the mixing container 161 from the placement part 300 to the mixing part 400.

[0356] On the one hand, after the cosmetic material contained in the mixing container 161 is mixed by the mixing section 400, the mixing container 161 can be transferred from the mixing section 400 to the placement section 300 by the second transfer unit 802.

[0357] The following will describe separately the steps of manufacturing the cosmetic in the first container and the steps of manufacturing the cosmetic in the second container after the cosmetic is mixed by the mixing unit 400.

[0358] When the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 manufactures cosmetics in a first container, the first clamp 840 holds the dispensing component 162 through the first-1 gripping area 8431 and places it on the upper side of the mixing container 161 placed on the placement part 300. When the dispensing components 162 are neatly arranged on the upper side of the mixing container 161, the second clamp 860 holds the straw 1622 of the dispensing component 162 through the fourth gripping area 8661. In this case, the fourth gripping area 8661 is located above the inlet 1611 of the mixing container 161, thereby allowing the straw 1622 to smoothly enter the interior of the mixing container 161. That is, the second clamp 860 guides the straw 1622 into the inlet 1611 through the fourth gripping area 8661.

[0359] After the straw 1622 enters the mixing container 161, the position of the second clamp 860 can be adjusted to be separated from the dispensing component 162 by a certain distance, and the first clamp 840 engages the dispensing component 162 and the mixing container 161. That is, the second clamp 860 can be moved to a position that does not obstruct the first clamp 840 from engaging the dispensing component 162 with the mixing container 161. In this case, the first clamp 840 can rotate the dispensing component 162 by gripping it through the first-1 gripping area 8431. That is, by rotating the first clamp 840, the dispensing component 162 and the mixing container 161 are screwed together. Thus, the cosmetic in the first container can be completed.

[0360] Once the dispensing component 162 and the mixing container 161 are fully engaged, the second clamp 860 can hold and move the mixing container 161 through the second-first gripping area 8631, allowing the mixing container 161 to be placed in the groove 167 of the tray 165. In other words, the second clamp 860 can place the completed cosmetic from the first container into the groove 167.

[0361] Then, the second transfer unit 802 can push open the tray 165 to discharge the completed cosmetic container (first container) placed in the groove 167 to the outside of the body 100.

[0362] On the one hand, when the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 manufactures cosmetics in a second container, the first clamp 840 can hold the base container 164 through the third gripping area 8461 and move the base container 164 to the assembly section 500.

[0363] The second clamp 860 can grip the mixing container 161 placed on the placement part 300 through the second-1 gripping area 8631 and move it to the upper side of the base container 164 placed on the assembly part 500. Then, it pours the cosmetic material contained in the mixing container 161 into the base container 164 for discharge. At this time, the second transfer unit 802 can rotate the mixing container 161 by a preset angle and shake the mixing container 161 after a certain period of time to discharge more cosmetic material by utilizing inertia.

[0364] After the cosmetics have been discharged into the base container 164, the first clamp 840 can hold the mixing container 161 through the first-1 gripping area 8431 and move it to the recycling section 112.

[0365] The first clamp 840 can be inserted into the base container 164 by moving the impregnating member 168 supplied in the moving member supply section 160 through the third gripping area 8461. In addition, the first clamp 840 can grip the base container 164 containing the impregnating member 168 through the third gripping area 8461 and move it to the absorption section 600.

[0366] The first clamp 840 can move the base container 164 by actuating the locking lever 653 through the second-1 gripping area 8631. Additionally, the second clamp 860 can apply pressure to the absorption tool 620 through the lower part of the second clamp 861.

[0367] After the absorption process is completed, the first clamp 840 can grasp the base container 164 through the third gripping area 8461 and move it to the assembly section 500. Then, the first clamp 840 can grasp the covering container 166 supplied in the component supply section 160 through the third gripping area 8461 and combine it with the base container 164. Thus, the cosmetic in the second container can be completed.

[0368] The cosmetic second container is manufactured by combining the base container 164 and the cover container 166. The combined base container 164 and cover container 166 can be held and moved by the third gripping area 8461 of the first clamp 840, thereby placing them in the groove 167. That is, the first clamp 840 can place the completed cosmetic second container in the groove 167.

[0369] Then, the second transfer unit 802 can push open the tray 165 to discharge the cosmetic container (second container) placed in the groove 167 to the outside of the main body 100.

[0370] The following section provides a more detailed observation of the sample control methods described above.

[0371] Users can request samples through the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20. Specifically, users can obtain samples before receiving the finished product by inputting the request into the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20.

[0372] When the manufacturing mode receiving unit 950 receives a sample request from a user, the control unit 900 can analyze the user's skin condition through the skin condition analysis unit 910. Specifically, the skin condition analysis unit 910 can obtain measured data from the terminal 20 and analyze the user's skin condition. Thus, the control unit 900 can analyze the user's skin condition at the time of the sample request and reflect it in the sample. Alternatively, the control unit 900 can obtain pre-measured data from the terminal 20 and analyze the skin condition through the skin condition analysis unit 910, also reflecting the result in the sample. In this case, the terminal 20 may include known skin condition measurement methods such as a camera, moisture sensor, oil sensor, and colorimeter.

[0373] This embodiment illustrates the case where the control unit 900 of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 calculates the composition ratios (first composition ratio, second composition ratio, and fourth composition ratio) as described later. However, the concept of the present invention is not limited to this, and may include the case where the composition ratios are calculated by the terminal 20 and the operation server 40.

[0374] The control unit 900 can determine the composition ratio of the cosmetic ingredients in the composition ratio determination unit 920 based on the analysis results from the skin condition analysis unit 910. Alternatively, the control unit 900 can determine the composition ratio of the cosmetic ingredients based on the user's skin condition information that has already been input. In this case, the composition ratio determined in the composition ratio determination unit 920 can be referred to as the first composition ratio.

[0375] Specifically, the control unit 900 can store composition ratio data based on various skin conditions. For example, the control unit 900 can store composition ratio data as follows: when skin condition A is present, composition ratio a is applicable; when skin condition B is present, composition ratio b is applicable; and when skin condition C is present, composition ratio c is applicable. In this case, when the skin condition analysis result from the skin condition analysis unit 910 or the pre-input user's skin condition is close to skin condition A, the composition ratio determination unit 920 can determine the appropriate composition ratio a for skin condition A based on the stored composition ratio data, and can determine the appropriate supply quantity of cosmetic materials for composition ratio a. That is, the control unit 900 can determine the composition ratio a stored in the database as the first composition ratio.

[0376] The control unit 900 can obtain user information from the operation server 40, and based on the user information, calculate a second component ratio that corrects the first component ratio using a preset algorithm. At this time, the user information obtained by the control unit 900 can be the user's cosmetic purchase history; however, the user information is not limited to this.

[0377] Specifically, if a user has a history of purchasing more light-colored cosmetics compared to the first composition ratio, a second composition ratio that displays a lighter color compared to the first composition ratio can be calculated for the user. Conversely, if a user has a history of purchasing more dark-colored cosmetics compared to the first composition ratio, a second composition ratio that displays a darker color compared to the first composition ratio can be calculated for the user. Therefore, the composition ratio determination unit 920 can determine the composition ratio applicable to the sample as either the first composition ratio or the second composition ratio. When the composition ratio determination unit 920 determines the composition ratio as the second composition ratio, it can reflect the user's preference and further improve user satisfaction.

[0378] This embodiment illustrates the process of calculating the first and second component ratios using the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10. However, the concept of the present invention is not limited to this. It may also include the process of calculating the first and second component ratios using the operation server 40 and then transmitting the results to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10, or displaying them on the terminal 20 or the user interface 130.

[0379] The control unit 900 can determine the dispensing amount of each cosmetic ingredient by means of the composition ratio determined by the composition ratio determination unit 920. For example, when the sample provided is in an amount of 1 / N of the finished product, the control unit 900 can determine the supply amount of each cosmetic ingredient to be in an amount of 1 / N by means of the composition ratio determined by the composition ratio determination unit 920.

[0380] The control unit 900 can transmit the composition ratio determined by the composition ratio determination unit 920 to the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20, and the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20 can display the obtained composition ratio to the user.

[0381] Users can modify the first or second composition ratio obtained through the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20. For example, if a user wants to further increase the moisture content in the obtained first or second composition ratio, they can request to further increase the ratio of moisture-related cosmetics; if a user wants to further increase the viscosity in the obtained first or second composition ratio, they can request to further increase the ratio of viscosity-related cosmetics. In this case, the user can directly input the modification request into the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20. Thus, the control unit 900 can obtain a third composition ratio modified from the first or second composition ratio by the user, and can modify one of the existing first or second composition ratios in the composition ratio modification unit 930 to change the composition ratio information to the third composition ratio. The composition ratio modification process through the composition ratio modification unit 930 can be omitted.

[0382] The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can manufacture samples based on the composition ratio determined by the composition ratio determination unit 920 or modified by the composition ratio modification unit 930. Specifically, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to provide the mixing container 161 to the cosmetic material supply unit 200, thereby providing the mixing container 161 with cosmetic material based on one of the first composition ratio, second composition ratio, and third composition ratio determined by the composition ratio determination unit 920 or the composition ratio modification unit 930.

[0383] Once the cosmetic material is supplied to the mixing container 161, the control unit 900 can again control the transfer means 800 to supply the mixing container 161 to the groove 167 of the component supply unit 160. That is, a sample of cosmetic material containing 1 / N of the finished product can be placed in the groove 167 of the tray 165 and provided to the user.

[0384] Users can directly use samples obtained from the component supply unit 160, and can return used samples to the groove 167 or mixing container support 163a of the component supply unit 160. In this case, the control unit 900 can sense whether a sample has been provided via sensors in the tray 165, groove 167, or mixing container support 163a, and then retrieve the sample. Alternatively, after providing a sample to the user, the control unit 900 can control the tray 165 to retrieve the sample after a preset time. In this case, the control unit 900 can notify the user of the retrieval time via the user interface unit 130 or terminal 20. If no used sample is provided to the tray 165 after the preset time, the control unit 900 can send a sample retrieval signal to the user via a separate notification.

[0385] After using the sample, the user can input additional requests through the user interface 130 or the terminal 20. In this case, the user can select at least one of multiple modes. For example, the multiple modes may include a finished product request mode, a sample modification request mode, and a sample disposal request mode. In this case, the sample already obtained by the user is referred to as the first sample, and any samples subsequently delivered to the user are referred to as the second sample.

[0386] When a user inputs a finished product request mode through the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20, the control unit 900 can receive the finished product request mode through the manufacturing mode receiving unit 950. That is, it can be understood that after the user uses the first sample, inputting a finished product request mode will further supply cosmetics having the same composition ratio as the first sample.

[0387] Specifically, upon receiving a finished product request, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the recovered first sample mixing container 161 back to the cosmetic supply unit 200, and the cosmetic supply unit 200 can further supply cosmetics to the mixing container 161. At this time, if the user has not finished using the first sample, it can be provided with sample cosmetics already stored in the mixing container 161. Therefore, the control unit 900 can adjust the amount of cosmetics supplied to the mixing container 161, subtracting the amount supplied during sample manufacturing from the finished product supply. For example, if the mixing container 161 contains 1 / N of the cosmetics when manufacturing the first sample, it can contain (N-1) / N of the cosmetics when manufacturing the finished product. That is, it can prevent the amount of cosmetics from exceeding the amount that can be stored in the mixing container 161 when manufacturing the finished product.

[0388] Alternatively, after determining the weight of the first sample provided in the cosmetic supply unit 200, the control unit 900 may adjust the cosmetic supply amount during finished product manufacturing. In this case, the control unit 900 may supply cosmetics to fill the mixing container 161 and provide the finished product to the user.

[0389] If a user inputs a sample modification request mode through the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20, the user can receive a sample modification request mode provided by the manufacturing mode receiving unit 950, which requests a second sample with a different composition ratio than the first sample.

[0390] That is, it can be understood that after the user uses the first sample, they input a sample modification request mode, and then a cosmetic with a different composition ratio than the first sample is manufactured and provided to the user as a second sample.

[0391] At this point, the second sample can be manufactured by adding cosmetic to the first sample containing cosmetic, or by restarting the supply of cosmetic to the hollow mixing container 161. This embodiment illustrates the case of restarting the supply of cosmetic to the hollow mixing container 161.

[0392] Specifically, the user can input and modify the composition ratio data through the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20. In this case, the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20 can display the composition ratio of the previous first sample (one of the first, second, and third composition ratios), and the user can input the desired composition ratio from the composition ratio of the first sample. That is, the user can input a fourth composition ratio to modify one of the first, second, and third composition ratios. As an example, when a second sample with a higher viscosity than the first sample is needed, the user can modify the composition ratio through the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20 to increase the proportion of the cosmetic material that increases viscosity.

[0393] The control unit 900 can receive the fourth composition ratio modified by the user, thereby determining whether the composition ratio can be modified.

[0394] If it is determined that the composition ratio can be modified, the control unit 900 can modify the composition ratio to a fourth composition ratio in the composition ratio modification unit 930. After the composition ratio modification is completed in the composition ratio modification unit 930, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to place another mixing container 161, different from the mixing container 161 used in the first sample, in the cosmetic supply unit 200. At this time, the mixing container 161 used in the first sample is referred to as the first mixing container, and the new mixing container 161 not used in the first sample is referred to as the second mixing container. That is, after the composition ratio modification is completed in the composition ratio modification unit 930, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to place the second mixing container 161, which is a hollow mixing container, on the cosmetic supply unit 200, and supply cosmetics to the hollow mixing container 161 to have a fourth composition ratio.

[0395] As mentioned above, the composition ratios can be stored in a product database. For example, the composition ratios stored in the product database can range from 200 to 100,000. A composition ratio stored in the product database can be selected, and cosmetics can be manufactured according to the selected composition ratio.

[0396] However, the idea of ​​the present invention is not limited to this. The control unit 900 can also control the transfer means 800 to place the recycled first mixing container in the cosmetic supply unit 200.

[0397] The cosmetic supply unit 200 can supply cosmetics to the second mixing container in the mixing container 161 in a supply amount based on the fourth component ratio under the control of the control unit 900.

[0398] The second sample based on the fourth composition ratio can be transferred again to the groove 167 of the tray 165 by the transfer means 800 and provided to the user. That is, the second sample obtained by the user can be provided by a cosmetic material different from the initial first sample. Alternatively, the second sample obtained by the user can be provided in a second mixing container different from the first mixing container containing the first sample, or in the first mixing container that has been recycled and re-supplied with cosmetic material.

[0399] The control unit 900 can determine that the composition ratio cannot be modified based on the composition ratio data received by the user. For example, if the user's first sample is mixed with a specific cosmetic to reduce viscosity, and the user requests a modification to the composition ratio of the second sample that requires excluding the initially supplied specific cosmetic, the control unit 900 can determine that the composition ratio cannot be modified. That is, if the first and second samples are provided from the same mixing container 161, the specific cosmetic cannot be removed from the already manufactured first sample, therefore the control unit 900 can determine that the composition ratio cannot be modified. Alternatively, in order to manufacture the second sample according to the fourth composition ratio requested by the user, it may be necessary to supply a larger amount of cosmetic than the mixing container 161 can hold. In this case, the control unit 900 can determine that the composition ratio cannot be modified. The situation where the composition ratio cannot be modified described in this embodiment is one example, and therefore the concept of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0400] If a user inputs a first sample disposal request mode through the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20, the control unit 900 can receive the first sample disposal request mode through the manufacturing mode receiving unit 950.

[0401] Upon receiving a first sample disposal request mode, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to recover the first sample to the recovery unit 112.

[0402] The following is for reference. Figure 4 , Figure 22 as well as Figure 23 Observe the mixing section 400 in more detail.

[0403] The mixing unit 400 is used to mix multiple cosmetic materials contained in the mixing container 161 after the cosmetic material supply unit 200 has completed the supply of cosmetic materials. Specifically, the mixing unit 400 can mix the cosmetic materials in the mixing container 161 by rotating the mixing container 161 around a central axis and rotating on its own axis. At this time, the mixing unit 400 can be arranged behind the component supply unit 160.

[0404] Specifically, the mixing unit 400 may include a mixing housing 410, a first rotating component 402, a second rotating component 404, and a rotating drive unit 430.

[0405] The mixing housing 410 forms the integral shape of the mixing section 400 and can have an internal accommodating space. That is, the mixing housing 410 can provide a space for the cosmetic materials in the mixing container 161 to be mixed. At this time, at least one of the first rotating component 402, the second rotating component 404, and the rotation drive unit 430 can be accommodated in the internal accommodating space of the mixing housing 410. This embodiment illustrates the case where the mixing housing 410 accommodates all of the first rotating component 402, the second rotating component 404, and the rotation drive unit 430; however, it does not limit the concept of the present invention.

[0406] The first rotating member 402 can cause the mixing container 161, which is being passed to the mixing unit 400, to rotate. It may also have a mixing container insertion port 406 into which the mixing container 161 can be inserted. In this state, the first rotating member 402 can rotate with the mixing container 161 inserted. Because the first rotating member 402 can rotate with the mixing container 161 inserted, it can cause the mixing container 161 to rotate.

[0407] The second rotating member 404 can cause the mixing container 161, which is being conveyed to the mixing section 400, to revolve, and can also cause the first rotating member 402 to rotate. At this time, the first rotating member 402 is arranged at a predetermined interval from the center M of the second rotating member 404, so the mixing container 161 contained in the first rotating member 402 can revolve due to the rotation of the second rotating member 404.

[0408] Specifically, the second rotating component 404 can rotate around a second central axis X2 passing through the center M, and through the rotation of the second rotating component 404, the mixing container 161, which is transmitted to the mixing section 400, can revolve. At this time, the second central axis X2 can be located at the center of the second rotating component 404, passing through the center M and intersecting the ground. Specifically, the second central axis X2 can be perpendicular to the ground.

[0409] Additionally, as described above, the first rotating component 402 may have a mixing container insertion port 406 to accommodate the mixing container 161. Furthermore, a portion of the first rotating component 402 may be inserted into one side of the second rotating component 404 for configuration. In this case, the first rotating component 402 may be tilted and inserted into the second rotating component 404 for fixation, such that the length direction of the first rotating component 402 forms a predetermined angle with the ground. Here, the length direction of the first rotating component 402 may refer to the direction in which the mixing container 161 is inserted.

[0410] At this time, the first rotating component 402 can be positioned on the second rotating component 404 at a predetermined distance from the second central axis X2 in the circumferential direction. Thus, as the second rotating component 404 rotates with the second central axis X2 as a reference, the mixing container 161 housed in the first rotating component 402 can revolve.

[0411] Specifically, the first rotating component 402 can rotate with a first central axis X1, which is different from the second central axis X2, as a reference. In this case, the first central axis X1 can be provided at the center of the first rotating component 402 along its length. The first rotating component 402 is then positioned on the second rotating component 404 at a predetermined distance from the second central axis X2 in the circumferential direction; therefore, the first central axis X1 can be provided on the rotating body 420 at a distance from the second central axis X2. Furthermore, the first rotating component 402 is inserted obliquely into the second rotating component 404 so that its length direction forms a predetermined angle with the ground; therefore, the first central axis X1 can be provided in a direction intersecting the direction of the second central axis X2.

[0412] On one hand, the mixing container insertion port 406 can be provided with a shape corresponding to the mixing container 161. Specifically, the mixing container 161 can be formed with a structure having corners in its longitudinal section, and the mixing container insertion port 406 can have a shape corresponding to the mixing container 161. During the process of inserting the mixing container 161 into the mixing container insertion port 406 by the transfer means 800, the transfer means 800 can perform a process of changing the orientation of the mixing container 161 towards a preset direction before placing it so that the mixing container 161 can be accurately inserted into the mixing container insertion port 406.

[0413] The rotation drive unit 430 can rotate one or more of the first rotating member 402 and the second rotating member 404. As an example, the rotation drive unit 430 can be a motor. This embodiment shows, by example, a case where the first drive unit 432 that rotates the first rotating member 402 and the second drive unit 434 that rotates the second rotating member 404 are provided separately; however, this does not limit the scope of the invention. As another example, the first rotating member 402 and the second rotating member 404 can also rotate simultaneously via a single rotation drive unit 430.

[0414] On the one hand, the control unit 900 can control the drive of the mixing unit 400.

[0415] First, the control unit 900 can simultaneously rotate the first rotating component 402 and the second rotating component 404 for a preset time. As a result, the mixing container 161, inserted into the mixing container insertion port 406, can rotate while revolving. The rotation time of the first rotating component 402 and the second rotating component 404 can be varied depending on the total amount and type of cosmetic materials.

[0416] After the first rotating member 402 and the second rotating member 404 finish rotating, the control unit 900 can control the mixing unit 400 to stop the mixing container insertion port 406 at a preset position. Since the mixing container insertion port 406 stops at the preset position after rotation by the control unit 900, the action of the transfer means 800 to pull out the mixing container 161 from the mixing container insertion port 406 after the mixing process is completed by rotation can always be completed at the preset position. Furthermore, after pulling out the mixing container 161, the transfer means 800 can insert the next mixing container 161 that needs to complete the mixing process into a preset position. That is, the action of the transfer means 800 to insert the mixing container 161 into the first rotating member 402, or to pull out the mixing container 161 from the first rotating member 402, can always be completed at the preset position. Therefore, it has the advantage of being able to easily control the transfer means 800. Specifically, the control process of making the transfer means 800 hold the mixing container 161 that has received cosmetics through the cosmetics supply unit 220 and insert it into the mixing container insertion port 406, sensing the position of the mixing container insertion port 406, and moving the mixing container 161 to correspond to the sensed mixing container insertion port 406 can be omitted.

[0417] On the one hand, after the first rotating component 402 and the second rotating component 404 rotate, the preset position where the mixing container insertion port 406 stops can refer to the position closest to the placement part 300. Specifically, the preset position where the mixing container insertion port 406 stops can be... Figure 3 Based on this, the direction moves away from the center M of the mixing section 400 in the y-axis direction. Therefore, when the mixing process is completed in the mixing section 400 and the multi-joint robotic arm 810 of the transfer means 800 moves the mixing container 161 to the placement section 300, which serves as the location for subsequent processes, the moving distance is shortened, thus reducing the drive radius of the multi-joint robotic arm 810. Therefore, it has the advantage of effectively driving the multi-joint robotic arm 810 and shortening the time required in the process.

[0418] Figure 24 This is a perspective view illustrating a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 25 It is shown Figure 24 A perspective view of the component supply section of a cosmetic manufacturing facility.

[0419] The following is for reference. Figure 24 as well as Figure 25 The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10' according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. However, Figure 24 and Figure 25 Compared to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 shown in the figure Figure 2 The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus illustrated in the diagram differs primarily in the location of the component supply section 160' and the point where the service section 700 is further located. Therefore, the explanation will focus on the differences; for the identical parts, references will be made to... Figures 1 to 13 The description and reference numerals of the embodiments illustrated herein.

[0420] Cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10' according to other embodiments of the present invention and Figures 1 to 13 The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus described herein is the same and may include a cosmetic material storage unit 140', a cosmetic material supply unit 200', a placement unit 300', a mixing unit 400', an assembly unit 500', an absorption unit 600', a transfer means 800', and a control unit. In this embodiment, it can be understood that the placement unit 300', the mixing unit 400', and the service unit 700 are included in the component placement unit.

[0421] To describe the detailed configuration of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10' according to another embodiment of the present invention, the cosmetic material supply unit 200' may be disposed on one side of the main body 100', the component supply unit 160' may be disposed on the other side of the main body 100' opposite to the cosmetic material supply unit 200', and the component placement unit (placement unit 300', mixing unit 400', and service unit 700) may be disposed between the cosmetic material supply unit 200' and the component supply unit 160'.

[0422] The component supply unit 160' may include a tray 169' configured with a mixing container 161', a dispensing component 162', a base container 164', a covering container 166', and an impregnation component 168'. The tray 169' of the component supply unit 160', which contacts the mixing container 161' and the constituent articles, may be configured to be tilted at a predetermined angle to the base 110' that forms the bottom surface of the cosmetic manufacturing space. The predetermined angle may be from 30 degrees to 80 degrees, preferably from 45 degrees to 60 degrees.

[0423] As described above, the tray 169' of the component supply section 160' is designed to have a predetermined angle, so that the transfer means 800' can move along the optimal path when holding and storing the components in the component supply section 160'.

[0424] In addition, the inclined surface of the component supply section 160' can be formed such that the closer to the upper end, the farther away from the transfer means 800', so that the component is stably supported on the inclined surface.

[0425] The components can be arranged parallel to or away from the base 110', and such arrangement may be provided or more than one according to an embodiment. This embodiment illustrates an example where the components are arranged in a row parallel to the base 110'; however, the concept of the invention is not limited thereto. In this case, the mixing container 161', which can be used on both the first and second containers, can be configured to be closest to the transfer means 800'. As an example, the mixing container 161' can be provided in the lowest row of the component supply section 160'.

[0426] Furthermore, the components constituting a container can be arranged adjacent to each other. For example, the mixing container 161' constituting the first container and the dispensing component 162' can be arranged sequentially from the lower side of the component supply section 160', followed by the base container 164' constituting the second container, the impregnation component 168', and the covering container 166'.

[0427] Additionally, the component placement unit in this embodiment may include a service unit 700, which can discharge a mixing container 161' containing cosmetics or a cosmetic container formed by combining components to the outside of the main body 100'.

[0428] At this point, a door (not shown) can be provided in front of the service unit 700 to allow cosmetic containers to be discharged to the outside of the main body 100'.

[0429] The service unit 700 can discharge a mixing container 161' containing cosmetics to the outside of the main body 100' (discharging a sample), or discharge a cosmetic container assembled by joining parts on the assembly unit 500' to the outside of the main body 100' and provide it to the user. The service unit 700 can be configured between the placement unit 300' and the assembly unit 500' to minimize the movement distance of the parts and the operating distance of the robotic arm provided as a transfer means 800'.

[0430] Additionally, at least a portion of the service unit 700 can be provided to reciprocate between the inside and outside of the main body 100'. Specifically, when the transfer means 800' holds the completed cosmetic container (first container or second container) and places it on the service unit 700, the service unit 700 is discharged outside the main body 100', thereby providing the cosmetic container to the user. The transfer means 800' can push or pull the service unit 700, and according to an embodiment, an additional drive device for driving the service unit 700 can be provided.

[0431] Furthermore, as described above, the cosmetic supply unit 200' is disposed on one side of the main body, the component supply unit 160' is disposed on the other side of the main body, and the component placement unit is disposed between the cosmetic supply unit 200' and the component supply unit 160', thereby allowing the movement path of the transfer means 800' to be changed. This can be understood as the movement of the transfer means 800' being controlled by a control unit.

[0432] Specifically, the first transfer unit 801 can move the mixing container 16 provided in the component supply unit 160 to one side (e.g., the placement part 300 formed on the workbench 114), and the second transfer unit 802 can move the mixing container 16 moved to one side (e.g., the placement part 300) to the side of the cosmetic supply unit 200.

[0433] Then, the second transfer unit 802' can move the mixing container 161' located in the cosmetic supply section 200' to the mixing section 400'. Then, the mixing section 400' can rotate to mix the cosmetic contained in the mixing container 161', and the second transfer unit 802' moves the mixing container 161' located in the mixing section 400' to the placement section 300'. Then, after the second transfer unit 802' removes the components constituting the first or second container from the component supply section 160', the first or second container can be assembled by the operation of the first transfer unit 801' and the second transfer unit 802'. The assembly of the first and second containers is the same as in the above embodiment, therefore a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0434] After assembling the first container or the second container, the first transfer unit 801' or the second transfer unit 802' can place the assembled first container or the second container on the service unit 700 and then provide it to the user.

[0435] The following is a list of the above embodiments.

[0436] Project 1 can provide a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus, comprising: a main body 100 providing a cosmetic manufacturing space 102; a component supply unit 160 providing at least one of a mixing container 161 for containing cosmetic materials and a component constituting a cosmetic container; a cosmetic material supply unit 200 dispensing one or more cosmetic materials stored in a cosmetic material storage unit 140 into the mixing container 161; a transfer means 800 capable of moving at least one of the mixing container 161 and the component constituting a cosmetic container provided in the component supply unit 160; and a control unit 900 capable of controlling at least one of the cosmetic material supply unit 200 and the transfer means 800 to enable the mixing of one or more cosmetic materials stored in the cosmetic material storage unit 140 to be contained in at least one of the mixing container 161 and the component constituting a cosmetic container.

[0437] Project 2 may provide a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of Project 1, wherein the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 further includes: a mixing unit 400, rotatably provided to mix cosmetic materials contained in the mixing container 161.
