Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus, a control method thereof, and a cosmetic manufacturing system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cosmetics are used for beauty and skin health, and the desire of consumers who want to use their own suitable cosmetics is increasing. In order to meet the desire, various forms of user cosmetic manufacturing apparatuses have been proposed.
[0003] Generally, a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus operates by measuring or diagnosing a user's skin state, calculating a mixing ratio of a cosmetic material suitable for the user based on the same, and then mixing the cosmetic material to manufacture a cosmetic. Recently, with the development of technology, an automated apparatus that can sequentially perform a series of processes has been proposed as the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus.
[0004] However, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus according to the related art has the following problems.
[0005] The existing cosmetic manufacturing apparatus has a problem of taking a long time to manufacture a cosmetic required by a user. In addition, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus can continuously complete a process from measuring or diagnosing a user's skin state to manufacturing a cosmetic, but waiting for the completion of the cosmetic in front of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus is only a very boring process for the user. Therefore, it can be expected to be used 1 to 2 times for curiosity, but the continuous use rate of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus can be low.
[0006] In addition, in order to deliver the cosmetic that can be provided by the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus to the user, the operator who operates the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus is actually bothered to perform additional work such as combining a cap of a cosmetic container for completing assembly of the cosmetic container, or combining a discharge member, or taking out the cosmetic container from the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus and delivering it to the user.
[0007] In addition, the existing cosmetic manufacturing apparatus simply recommends a composition ratio considering only a skin state, but a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus that recommends a composition ratio considering both a skin state and a preference of an individual user for a cosmetic (for example, whether or not to like a bright color, etc.) has not been proposed.

[0059] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present application will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. At the same time, in explaining the present application, when it is judged that a specific explanation of a related known configuration or function can confuse the gist of the present application, the detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.
[0060] In the following explanation, "cosmetic" can be understood as a product which directly or indirectly acts on a user's skin, thereby imparting a cosmetic effect to the skin, or protecting the skin, or improving or changing the state of the skin, or having one or more of the above functions, and "cosmetic material" can be understood as a substance constituting the cosmetic. Hereinafter, "composition ratio" can be understood as a weight ratio or a volume ratio of each cosmetic material provided as a cosmetic.
[0061] The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 and the cosmetic manufacturing system 1 of the present embodiment can manufacture a custom-made cosmetic.
[0062] The customized cosmetic can be understood as a cosmetic manufactured according to a composition ratio decided based on a skin state of a user or a result of analyzing or diagnosing the skin state.
[0063] Alternatively, the customized cosmetic can be understood as a cosmetic manufactured according to a composition ratio decided based on an intention of a user or a context of the user collected through various routes. The context of the user can be understood as data that can be obtained from an arbitrary device or a third party, such as biological information of the user, spatial information around the user, a preset time range and a preset space range related to a schedule of the user, a shopping history of the user, a purchase history of the user, an online activity record of the user, and the like, related to a life of the user.
[0064] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a view illustrating a configuration of a cosmetic manufacturing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0065] Reference Figure 1 The cosmetic manufacturing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present application, which is a system for manufacturing a customized cosmetic by collecting required data, deciding a composition ratio, and thereby being able to manufacture a cosmetic, can include a cosmetic manufacturing device 10, a terminal 20, and an operation server 40. In the present embodiment, the cosmetic manufacturing system 1 is exemplified as a system for manufacturing a customized cosmetic, and the cosmetic manufacturing device 10 is provided as a device that can manufacture a customized cosmetic. However, the idea of the present application is not limited thereto, and can be used for manufacturing a cosmetic having a preset composition ratio.
[0066] The constituent elements constituting the cosmetic manufacturing system 1 can be provided to be connected through a network, thereby transmitting and receiving data therebetween or transmitting data from one to the other. The network includes a wired network or a wireless network, and the kind thereof is not limited as long as data can be transmitted.
[0067] The cosmetic manufacturing device 10 can mix a plurality of cosmetic materials based on composition ratio data required in cosmetic manufacturing, fill the mixed cosmetic materials into a cosmetic container, and provide the same to a user. The cosmetic container can include a first container provided as a pump-type container and a second container provided as a powder box-type container, which will be described later.
[0068] The first container and the second container can be understood as a container completed by combining at least one of a mixing container 161 that can accommodate cosmetic materials and a constituent product constituting the cosmetic container.
[0069] For example, when the first container is a pump-type container, the first container can be provided by combining the mixing container 161 and a discharge member 162 as one of the constituent products (refer to FIG. 2). Figure 6). However, the idea of the present application is not limited to the case where the mixing container 161 must be provided as a part of the first container, and the constituent product can also include another holding container (not shown) that can be combined with the discharging member 162, the holding container and the discharging member 162 being combined to provide the first container.
[0070] In addition, when the second container is a powder box type container, the second container can be provided by combining the base container 164, the impregnation member 168, and the cover container 166 as parts of the constituent product.
[0071] That is, in the present embodiment, the constituent product can include a component that constitutes the first container (for example, the discharging member 162 when the mixing container 161 and the discharging member 162 are combined, and the holding container and the discharging member 162 when the holding container and the discharging member 162 are combined) and a component that constitutes the second container (for example, the base container 164, the impregnation member 168, and the cover container 166).
[0072] In addition, the composition ratio data can be understood as electronic data that includes the kinds of the plurality of cosmetic materials and the composition ratios thereof. The composition ratio data can also be completely processed to be provided to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 as described above, or can be basic data (including the user context) for processing that is transmitted to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10, whereby it is generated by the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.
[0073] For example, the composition ratio data can be provided from a terminal 20 such as a mobile phone or a tablet PC or a desktop computer possessed by the user to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10. In this case, the composition ratio data can be provided from the terminal 20 directly to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10, or can be provided to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 through an operation server 40 managed by an operation subject of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10. According to the embodiment, the terminal 20 can also provide basic data for generating the composition ratio data, such as data of a skin photograph image of the user, and the like.
[0074] The terminal 20 can obtain information related to the user context, and the input information can be transmitted to at least one of the operation server 40 and the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.
[0075] In addition, the terminal 20 can include a measurement sensor (not shown) for measuring the skin state of the user. For example, the measurement sensor can include one or more of a camera, a moisture sensor, and an oil sensor.
[0076] When the measurement sensor is provided by the camera, the skin state of the user can be photographed by the camera provided in the terminal 20, and the skin state of the user can be determined based on the photographed skin image.
[0077] The composition ratio data can also be provided from a measurement sensor of the terminal 20 that can measure the skin state of the user to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.
[0078] The terminal 20 can also be a skin state data transmission terminal that directly transmits the results measured by the measurement sensor (e.g., a camera, a moisture sensor, an oil sensor, etc.) to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10, or analyzes or diagnoses the results and then transmits the skin state data to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.
[0079] In the present embodiment, a case in which the measurement sensor is provided as a part of the terminal 20 is exemplified, but the idea of the present application is not limited thereto, and can include a case in which the measurement sensor is provided through a device separate from the terminal 20.
[0080] The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can determine the composition ratio data based on the data obtained by the terminal 20. According to an embodiment, the terminal 20 can also transmit the skin state data to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 through the operation server 40. In this case, the operation server 40 can also process the composition ratio data based on the data obtained by the terminal 20 and provide the same to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.
[0081] In addition, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can transmit the data obtained by the terminal 20 to the operation server 40, obtain the composition ratio data generated by the operation server 40, and use the same in the cosmetic manufacturing.
[0082] As described above, the operation server 40 can obtain the data required in the processing of the composition ratio data, process the composition ratio data, and provide the same 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 the composition ratio data suitable for each user based on not only the data obtained by the terminal 20 but also the context of the user collected additionally, and can transmit the composition ratio data processed according to the request of the user or the request of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus.
[0083] In the present embodiment, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can assemble a plurality of cosmetic containers having different shapes from each other.
[0084] In the present embodiment, a case in which the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can assemble two types of cosmetic containers (a first container and a second container) is exemplified, but the idea of the present application is not limited thereto, and can include a case in which all of the publicly known cosmetic containers are assembled.
[0085] 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.
[0086] 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.
[0087] 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.
[0088] The following describes the specific composition of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.

[0102] A transparent window 122 can be provided at a portion of the case 120 to enable the cosmetic manufacturing process completed in the cosmetic manufacturing space 102 to be confirmed from the outside. For example, the central region of the front surface of the case 120 can be formed as the transparent window 122, and thus the user can be exposed to the movement of the transfer means 800 and the entire or a portion of the operation completed in the cosmetic manufacturing space 102, and thus can improve the reliability of the customized cosmetic manufactured by the cosmetic manufacturing device 10.
[0103] In addition, a user interface portion 130 can be provided at a side of the case 120. The user interface portion 130 can provide the user with the state information of the cosmetic manufacturing device 10 or the manufacturing process of the customized cosmetic and information related thereto, and can be provided to obtain the preset information from the user. For example, the user interface portion 130 can be a touch screen, and can include a microphone and a speaker for inputting and outputting sound. The position at which the user interface portion 130 is provided on the case 120 can be set not to overlap the transparent window 122, and in the present embodiment, is exemplarily illustrated as being provided at the front left region of the main body 100.
[0104] The user can perform an action of confirming the result of analyzing and diagnosing the skin state of the user through the user interface portion 130, or confirming the composition ratio data of the customized cosmetic that can be provided to the user, or adjusting the composition ratio data of the customized cosmetic to be manufactured, or selecting a cosmetic having a specific composition ratio data, etc. In addition, in order to individualize the customized cosmetic to be manufactured, personal information required can be input.
[0105] In addition, a plurality of opening and closing doors 126 can be provided at at least a portion of the case 120. The user can open the opening and closing doors 126 to replace the cartridge 142, or to arrange the constituent elements disposed in the cosmetic manufacturing space 102. In addition, a lower base 127 in which various items can be stored can be provided at the lower side of the case 120 that becomes the cosmetic manufacturing space 102.
[0106] In addition, 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 a component supply portion 160 described later and provided to be selectively opened and closed.
[0107] At this time, the component supply door 129 can be provided as a rotation structure or a sliding structure having an elastic restoring force, and can be opened by being pushed away when a tray 165 of the component supply portion 160 moves toward the outside of the main body 100 and closed by being restored to the original state when the tray 165 moves toward the inside of the main body 100.
[0108] In addition, the user or another robot can open the component supply door 129 and place constituent goods (for example, a mixing container 161 and a discharge component 162) constituting a first container and constituent goods (for example, a base container 164, an impregnation component 168, and a cover container 166) constituting a second container in the component supply portion 160. In addition, when a first container or a second container that is completed to be assembled is placed in the component supply portion 160, the user can open the component supply door 129 and take out the completed product.
[0109] In addition, an absorption portion 128 that can be selectively opened and closed can be provided on the other side of the housing 120. By providing the absorption portion 128 as described above, the convenience of arrangement of an absorption portion 600 described later can be improved.
[0110] On the other hand, a recycling portion 112 can be provided on the base 110 to recycle the mixing container 161 that is not needed after the mixed cosmetic material is discharged when the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 is used as a manufacturing apparatus for a second container. The recycling portion 112 can be disposed adjacent to the assembly portion 500 and provided in a hole shape perforated in the base 110, so that the transfer means 800 simply drops the mixing container 161 that has completed discharge of the mixed cosmetic material into the base container 164 on the recycling portion 112, thereby completing recycling. At this time, a recycling barrel (not shown) for collecting the discarded mixing container 161 can be provided on the lower side of the recycling portion 112.
[0111] The cosmetic material storage portion 140 can be disposed on one side of the main body 100 and can have a plurality of cassettes 142. In the following description, one side of the main body 100 can be understood as one direction in which the transfer means 800 disposed on the base 110 is taken as a reference, and the other side of the main body 100 can be understood as one direction different from the one side. In the present embodiment, an example is illustrated in which the cosmetic material storage portions 140 are each disposed on the left and right sides of the transfer means 800 with reference to the drawing.
[0112] Cosmetic materials used as raw materials for cosmetics can be stored in the respective cartridges 142. One type of cosmetic material can also be divided and provided in a plurality of cartridges 142. The cartridges 142 can be connected to the cosmetic material supply units 220 of the pumps and the like provided in the cosmetic material supply section 200, and can be provided to be replaced when the stored cosmetic material is depleted.
[0113] In the present embodiment, the case where the cartridges 142 are provided as a plurality of cartridges 142 in which predetermined types of cosmetic materials are stored is exemplified. The plurality of cartridges 142 can be arranged in parallel on a side wall surface constituting the housing 120, and a portion of the housing 120 can also be formed to be openable in order to replace the cartridges 142.
[0114] The respective cartridges 142 can be connected to the cosmetic material supply units 220 by the hoses 143. The cosmetic materials stored in the cartridges 142 can be discharged to the mixing containers 161 located in the mixing container transfer section 250 via the cosmetic material supply units 220.
[0115] The cosmetic material supply section 200 can be arranged adjacent to the cosmetic material storage section 140. Specifically, the cosmetic material supply section 200 can be arranged on the upper side of the cosmetic material storage section 140. Here, the upper side can be understood as the "+z" direction with the housing 120 as a reference. Figure 3
[0116] The cosmetic material supply section 200 can discharge the cosmetic materials stored in the cartridges 142 to the mixing containers 161 located in the mixing container transfer section 250 in accordance with the composition ratio generated by the control section 900. Here, the composition ratio can be predetermined and stored in a memory (not shown), or obtained from the terminal 20 and the operation server 40, or calculated by the control section 900 based on the obtained data.
[0117] In addition, the cosmetic material supply section 200 can be provided as a plurality of cosmetic material supply sections 200 to be separated in independent spaces. In the present embodiment, the case where the cosmetic material supply section 200 is provided one each on the left side and the right side of the main body 100 is exemplified.
[0118] Each of the cosmetic material supply sections 200 can include a cosmetic material supply unit 220 that provides a power for supplying cosmetic materials, thereby transferring the cosmetic materials stored in the cartridges 142, a plurality of discharge ports 232 that discharge the cosmetic materials transferred from the cosmetic material supply unit 220, and a mixing container transfer section 250 that is provided to fix the mixing containers 161 and can be moved below the plurality of discharge ports 232 (see FIG. 2). Figure 5
[0119] The cosmetic material supply unit 220 can suck the cosmetic material from the magazine 142 at a preset speed and discharge the cosmetic material to the mixing container 161. For example, the cosmetic material supply unit 220 can include a peristaltic pump that can finely adjust the flow rate.
[0120] At this time, the speed of the cosmetic material suction and discharge of the cosmetic material supply unit 220 can be changed according to a preset condition or the control of the control unit 900. For example, the control unit 900 can control the peristaltic pump provided as the cosmetic material supply unit 220 according to the amount of the cosmetic material injected into the mixing container 161, thereby adjusting the supply flow rate and the flow rate.
[0121] The cosmetic material supply unit 220 can be supported by the cosmetic material supply unit support 235, and the mixing container transfer unit 250 can be provided at the lower side of the cosmetic material supply unit 220.
[0122] The discharge port 232 that discharges the cosmetic material can be provided at one side of the cosmetic material supply unit support 235, and the mixing container transfer unit 250 can be moved to the lower side of the discharge port 232, thereby accommodating the cosmetic material to the mixing container 161.
[0123] A connection flow path can be provided between the cosmetic material supply unit 220 and the discharge port 232 that discharges the cosmetic material. In this case, the connection flow path can be a hose 143 when the cosmetic material supply unit 220 is provided by a peristaltic pump. That is, the hose 143 can be understood as a unit that connects the magazine 142 and the discharge port 232 through the cosmetic material supply unit 220.
[0124] The cosmetic material supply unit 220 can be provided in a number corresponding to each of the magazines 142. For example, one cosmetic material supply unit 220 can be connected to one magazine 142, and each of the cosmetic material supply units 220 can adjust the discharge amount of the cosmetic material stored in the magazine 142.
[0125] The cosmetic material supply unit 220 can discharge the cosmetic material stored in the magazine 142 to the mixing container 161 seated on the mixing container transfer unit 250.
[0126] The mixing container transfer unit 250 can include a mixing container seating groove 2547a for inserting the mixing container 161. In addition, the mixing container transfer unit 250 can reciprocate in a direction (y-axis direction) in which a plurality of discharge ports 232 are disposed.
[0127] The mixing container transfer unit 250 can seat the mixing container 161 in the mixing container seating groove 2547a and accommodate the cosmetic material discharged from the plurality of discharge ports 232 to the mixing container 161 while reciprocating at the lower portion of the discharge port 232 (refer to FIG. 6). Figure 5). Among them, the discharge port 232 can be provided as the same as the cosmetic supply unit 220, or more in number.
[0128] The mixed container transfer unit 250 can move to the next discharge port 232 after waiting for a predetermined time at the lower portion of each discharge port 232. During the waiting of the mixed container transfer unit 250 for the predetermined time, the cosmetic can be discharged from the discharge port 232 to the mixed container 161.
[0129] Specifically, the mixed container transfer unit 250 can include a mixed container moving block 254 moving along a mixed container guide rail 252, a mixed container seating groove 2547a provided at the upper portion of the mixed container moving block 254 and fixing the mixed container 161, and a mixed container locking lever 255 extending from the mixed container moving block 254 and held by the transfer means 800.
[0130] In addition, the mixed container guide rail 252 extending in the arrangement direction (y direction) of the discharge port 232 can be provided at the lower portion of the mixed container transfer unit 250, and the mixed container stopper 256 capable of locking the mixed container locking lever 255 can be provided at the lower portion of the mixed container locking lever 255. It can be understood that the mixed container guide rail 252 and the mixed container stopper 256 are provided on the base 110. In addition, a plurality of grooves into which the mixed container locking lever 255 can be inserted can be formed in the mixed container stopper 256. The pitch of the plurality of grooves corresponds to the pitch of the discharge ports of the cosmetic supply unit 220.
[0131] In the present embodiment, the case where the mixed container moving block 254 is moved by the transfer means 800 is exemplified. For example, the transfer means 800 can hold the mixed container locking lever 255 extending from the mixed container moving block 254 and reciprocate it in the y-axis direction.
[0132] The transfer means 800 can hold the mixed container locking lever 255, release the constraint state of the mixed container moving block 254, move the mixed container moving block 254, and then be inserted into the groove of the mixed container stopper 256 at the other position, so that the mixed container moving block 254 becomes the constraint state again, thereby stably maintaining the position of the mixed container 161 during the discharge of the cosmetic. In this case, the mixed container moving block 254 is fixed to the mixed container stopper 256, so that the transfer means 800 can freely perform other work during the discharge of any kind of cosmetic to the mixed container 161, and thus the overall manufacturing process can be effectively constituted and the manufacturing time can be shortened.
[0133] According to an embodiment, the movement of the mixing container moving block 254 and the maintenance of the position thereof can be accomplished according to a driving device provided additionally. For example, the mixing container moving block 254 can be a moving block provided in a linear motor guide, in which case the control unit 900 can cause the mixing container 161 mounted on the mixing container moving block 254 to be accommodated in a correct position by controlling the linear motor guide, thereby accommodating the cosmetic material supplied through the cosmetic material supply unit 220.
[0134] In one aspect, a weight sensor that can measure the weight change of the mixing container 161 can be provided inside the mixing container moving block 254. The weight of the mixing container 161 can change as the cosmetic material is injected into the mixing container 161 through the cosmetic material supply unit 200, and the control unit 900 can adjust the supply speed of the cosmetic material through the cosmetic material supply unit 200 according to the result measured in the weight sensor.
[0135] The component supply unit 160 can supply components that can constitute the cosmetic containers (e.g., the first container and the second container) assembled in the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.
[0136] Specifically, the component supply unit 160 can include a tray 165 on which the components can be placed, a first container component support unit 163 that can support components that can form the first container, and a second container component support unit 169 that can support components that can form the second container.
[0137] Hereinafter, the mixing container 161 and the components that constitute the cosmetic containers, etc., supplied from the component supply unit 160 will be collectively referred to as "components".
[0138] The tray 165 is provided on the base 110 and can be provided to be movable so that at least a portion thereof is exposed to the outside of the main body 100. For example, the tray 165 can be provided to slide to the outside of the main body 100 through the component supply door 129.
[0139] In this case, the user or another robot can easily place the components that form the first container and the components that form the second container on the component supply unit 160, and can easily discharge the first container and the second container that are completed in assembly to the outside of the main body 100.
[0140] The first container component support unit 163 can include a mixing container support unit 163a that can support the mixing container 161 and a discharge component support unit 163b that can support the discharge component 162.
[0141] A groove into which the mixing container 161 can be inserted can be provided in the mixing container support unit 163a. A groove into which the discharge component 162 can be inserted while supporting the discharge component 162 can be provided in the discharge component support unit 163b.
[0142] The second container constituting product support part 169 can include a base container support part 169a that can support the base container 164, an impregnation member support part 169b that can support the impregnation member 168, and a cover container support part 169c that can support the cover container 166.
[0143] In addition, a recess 167 can be provided in front of the tray 165, and the first container or the second container that is completed in assembly can be placed in the recess 167 of the tray 165.
[0144] In the present embodiment, it can be understood that the first container is formed by assembling the mixing container 161 and the discharge member 162.
[0145] Specifically, the discharge member 162 can include a pump part 1621 that provides a force to move fluid by generating a pressure difference, a suction tube 1622 that is connected to the pump part 1621 and is inserted into the inside of the mixing container 161 to suck the cosmetic material stored in the mixing container 161, and a cap 1623 that can seal the inlet part 1611 of the mixing container 161.
[0146] The mixing container 161 can provide a space in which the cosmetic material can be stored, and can include the inlet part 1611 into which the suction tube 1622 can be inserted.
[0147] The mixing container 161 can also be used as a use for storing the cosmetic material of the product that is completed as a part of the first container. That is, the mixing container 161, after being used in mixing the cosmetic, can be directly used as a part of the customized cosmetic.
[0148] In addition, it can be understood that the second container is formed by assembling the base container 164, the impregnation member 168, and the cover container 166.
[0149] Specifically, the base container 164 can accommodate the cosmetic material and the impregnation member 168 provided by the sponge, and the cover container 166 can selectively seal the impregnation member 168 located inside the base container 164.
[0150] A cosmetic tool such as a puff can be provided in the cover container 166 in advance.
[0151] Specifically, the cover container 166 can include, in combination with the base container 164, an inner cover that supports the cosmetic tool and covers the inside of the impregnation member 168, and an outer cover that covers the cosmetic tool and protects the entire container. The inner cover and the outer cover can each be rotated to block the impregnation member 168 or the cosmetic tool.
[0152] In addition, a component placement unit 50 (refer to FIG. 1) that can assemble the first container and the second container can be provided in the cosmetic manufacturing space 102. Figure 7 )
[0153] Specifically, the component placement unit 50 can include a placement portion 300, which can assemble the first container, and an assembly portion 500, which can assemble the second container. The component placement unit 50 can be provided on the upper portion of the worktable 114, and a recess, which can expose the pressurizing portion 640, can be provided on the worktable 114 at a distance from the component placement unit 50.
[0154] The placement portion 300 can be used as a position where the mixing container 161 temporarily waits before moving to the next process in the manufacturing process of the customized cosmetic or as a support for the mixing container 161 in the assembly of the first container. As described in the present embodiment, when two robot arms are used as the transfer means 800, the placement portion 300 is disposed at a position where the two robot arms can all access, thereby playing a role of transferring components between the two robot arms.
[0155] Specifically, the mixing container can be formed in a structure having a corner in a longitudinal cross section, and a mixing container placement groove 302 having a shape corresponding to the shape of the mixing container 161 can be provided in the placement portion 300. The transfer means 800 can perform a process of placing the mixing container 161 after converting the direction of the mixing container 161 toward a predetermined direction, so that the mixing container 161 can be accurately inserted into the mixing container placement groove 302. Thereby, the mixing container 161 can always be positioned at a predetermined position, and can stably maintain a posture against external forces in the coupling process with the discharge component 162.
[0156] The assembly portion 500 can be a position and a space where the cosmetic container is manufactured by assembling the respective constituent products constituting the cosmetic container, thereby serving as a completed product. In the present embodiment, a case where the assembly of the second container is completed in the assembly portion 500 is exemplified. That is, in the present embodiment, the assembly of the first container is completed in the placement portion 300, and the assembly of the second container is completed in the assembly portion 500, but the idea of the present application is not limited thereto. For example, it is also possible that the assembly of the first container and the assembly of the second container are all completed in the placement portion 300. In this case, the placement portion 300 can be understood as the assembly portion 500. Alternatively, it is also possible that the assembly of the first container and the assembly of the second container are all completed in the assembly portion 500. The detailed assembly processes for the respective containers will be described later.
[0157] The combination of the base container 164, the impregnation member 168, and the cover container 166 (assembly of the second container) can be performed on the assembly section 500. Specifically, the base container 164 is positioned on the assembly section 500 by the transfer means 800, the cosmetic material stored in the mixing container 161 is discharged into the base container 164, the impregnation member 168 is placed on the base container 164, and then the cover container 166 is combined with the base container 164 to cover the impregnation member 168 after the absorption process by the absorption section 600. Details of this will be described later.
[0158] The assembly section 500 can include a base container seating groove 502 in which the base container 164 can be seated so that the mixed cosmetic material of the mixing container 161 can be accommodated during the assembly of the second container. The transfer means 800 can hold the base container 164 of the member supply section 160 and move it to the base container seating groove 502. The mixing container 161 in which the mixing is completed can be transferred from the seating section 300 or the mixing section 400 by the transfer means 800 and then discharge the cosmetic material into the base container 164 on the assembly section 500.
[0159] Specifically, the base container 164 can be formed in a structure having a corner or a cylindrical shape at least in part, and the base container seating groove 502 can be provided to have a shape corresponding to the corner structure or the cylindrical shape formed on the base container 164. The transfer means 800 can perform a process of converting the direction of the base container 164 to a predetermined direction and then seating it so that the base container 164 can be accurately inserted into the base container seating groove 502. Thus, the base container 164 can always be positioned at a predetermined position and can stably maintain the posture against external forces in the direction of rotation during the combination with the cover container 166.
[0160] In addition, the base container 164 seated on the assembly section 500 and completed to accommodate the mixed cosmetic material can accommodate the impregnation member 168 by the transfer means 800. The base container 164 completed to accommodate the impregnation member 168 can be moved to the absorption section 600 again by the transfer means 800 and then undergo the absorption process.
[0161] The absorption section 600 performs a process of impregnating the cosmetic material into the impregnation member 168 contained in the second container. The base container 164 in which the accommodation of the cosmetic material and the loading of the impregnation member 168 are completed on the assembly section 500 can be moved to the absorption section 600, and the cosmetic material can be sufficiently impregnated into the impregnation member 168 by the absorption tool 620 provided in the absorption section 600. The absorption tool 620 completes the impregnation by repeatedly performing a process of pressurizing the impregnation member 168 at a predetermined pressure.
[0162] The absorption section 600 can include the absorption tool 620 and a base container transfer section 650 (see FIG. 2).Figure 8 ).
[0163] The absorption tool 620 can be understood as a structure in which the impregnation member 168 is inserted into the base container 164 under pressure, thereby impregnating the cosmetic material in the impregnation member 168.
[0164] The base container transfer section 650 can be understood as a structure in which the base container 164 moved from the assembly section 500 is placed, and then moved downward of the absorption tool 620. The inside of the base container 164 placed on the base container transfer section 650 contains the cosmetic material and the impregnation member 168.
[0165] The absorption tool 620 can include a positive position fixer 630 that ascends and descends in the height direction (z direction) at the lower portion of the workbench 114, thereby fixing the base container 164 placed on the base container transfer section 650, and a pressurizing section 640 that pressurizes the impregnation member 168 at the upper portion of the base container 164 fixed by the positive position fixer 630. Here, a hole that exposes the pressurizing section 640 can be formed in the workbench 114, and the transfer means 800 can press the exposed pressurizing section 640 to impregnate the impregnation member 168.
[0166] In addition, the base container transfer section 650 can include a base container moving block 652 that places and moves the base container 164, a base container guide rail 651 that provides a path for the base container moving block 652 to move, a base container stopper 653 that moves the base container moving block 652, and a base container stopper 654 that fixes the base container stopper 653 at a predetermined position. Here, the transfer means 800 can hold the base container stopper 653 to move the base container moving block 652, in which the base container 164 is placed, to the lower end of the pressurizing section 640.
[0167] The absorption section 600 can include the base container transfer section 650 that receives the base container 164 provided from the assembly section 500 by the transfer means 800, and moves it to a position where absorption by the absorption tool 620 is completed.
[0168] The base container 164 in which absorption by the absorption section 600 is completed can be placed again in the assembly section 500 by the transfer means 800, and the transfer means 800 takes the cover 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 cover container 166 can be completed by mechanical insertion combination such as hook combination, and for this, the transfer means 800 can apply a certain external force to the cover container 166.
[0169] The mixing part 400 is a constituent element that can uniformly mix the cosmetic material in the mixing container 161 by applying an external force to the mixing container 161 in which the cosmetic material is accommodated through the cosmetic material supply part 200.
[0170] The mixing part 400 can be provided to be rotatable to mix the cosmetic material accommodated in the mixing container 161.
[0171] In the present embodiment, a case in which the mixing part 400 rotates while rapidly orbiting the mixing container 161 to thereby mix the cosmetic material is exemplified.
[0172] Specifically, the mixing part 400 can include a first rotating part 402 that can be inserted into the mixing container 161 and is rotatable, and a second rotating part 404 that can rotate the first rotating part 402. The first rotating part 402 can be spaced apart from the center M of the second rotating part 404 by a certain distance, and the first rotating part 402 can be stopped at a predetermined position by the control part 900.
[0173] In this case, the transfer means 800 can insert the mixing container 161 into the first rotating part 402 located at the predetermined position, and thus can easily control the transfer means 800.
[0174] The mixing part 400 can be operated for a predetermined time by the control of the control part 900 after the mixing container 161 is accommodated, and the mixing process of the mixing part 400 can be completed, and thus the mixing container 161 can be moved to a subsequent process position by the transfer means 800.
[0175] In addition, the transfer means 800 can hold the mixing container 161 in which the cosmetic material is not stored, which is placed on the part supply part 160, and move to the mixing container transfer part 250 of the cosmetic material supply part 200. At this time, when the mixing container 161 is moved to the mixing container transfer part 250 disposed on one side (the left side with the body 100 as a reference) of the body 100, it can be directly moved from the part supply part 160 to the mixing container transfer part 250. Figure 4 When the mixing container 161 is moved to the mixing container transfer part 250 disposed on the other side (the right side with the body 100 as a reference) of the body 100, it is moved from the part supply part 160 to the mixing container transfer part 250 through the resting part 300. Figure 4
[0176] In addition, the transfer means 800 can move the mixing container 161 in which the cosmetic material is accommodated or after the mixing process in the mixing part 400 is completed to the resting part 300.
[0177] In addition, the transfer means 800 can assemble the first container by combining the discharge member 162 with the mixing container 161 placed on the placement portion 300, or assemble the second container by placing the base container 164 on the assembly portion 500, pouring the cosmetic contained in the mixing container 161 into the base container 164, placing the impregnation member 168 in the mixing container 161, impregnating the cosmetic in the impregnation member 168 by the absorption portion 600, and covering the base container 164 containing the impregnation member 168 with the cover container 166.
[0178] In addition, the transfer means 800 can place the first container or the second container assembled in the recess 167 of the member supply portion 160.
[0179] In addition, the transfer means 800 can push away the tray 165 of the member supply portion 160, and expose at least a portion of the tray 165 to the outside of the main body 100, thereby providing the first container or the second container assembled to the user.
[0180] The transfer means 800 can include a plurality of transfer units 801, 802, and can move the constituent members provided in the member supply portion 160 to the member placement unit 50, and assemble the first container provided as a pump-type container or the second container provided as a powder box-type container using the constituent members moved to the member placement unit 50. In the present embodiment, a case in which two transfer units 801, 802 are provided as the transfer means 800 is exemplified, but the number of transfer units is not limited as long as the number is one or more.
[0181] Specifically, the transfer means 800 can include a first transfer unit 801 and a second transfer unit 802 that can be independently moved from each other.
[0182] In assembling the first container forming the pump-type container, one of the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can hold the cap 1623 of the discharge member 162, and the other can move up and down in contact with the suction tube 1622 to align the suction tube 1622 of the discharge member 162 with the inlet portion 1611 of the mixing container 161 placed on the member placement unit 50.
[0183] In assembling the second container forming the powder box-type container, one of the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can place the base container 164 constituting the second container on the member placement unit 50, and the other can turn over the mixing container 161 to move the cosmetic contained in the mixing container 161 to the base container 164.
[0184] The transfer means 800 can move components between the constituent elements arranged on the base 110 described above. As described above, in the present embodiment, a case is exemplified in which a robot arm is provided as the transfer means 800. Specifically, the transfer means 800 can include a first transfer unit 801 that can correspond to one robot arm and a second transfer unit 802 that can correspond to another robot arm. The first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can each be provided by a multi-joint robot arm 810, which can have degrees of freedom that can be different according to the embodiment. In the present embodiment, a case is exemplified in which a device having 6 degrees of freedom is used as the multi-joint robot arm 810.
[0185] The first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can be connected to one robot arm control section 820, having a form extending from the robot arm control section 820. The robot arm control section 820 can control the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 according to the control of the control section 900, thereby performing a predetermined function.
[0186] For the multi-joint robot arm 810 as described above, there are well-known devices of various forms, and thus, in the present embodiment, specific contents related to the structure and control thereof are omitted.
[0187] On the other hand, a first gripper 840 is provided in the first transfer unit 801, and a second gripper 860 is provided in the second transfer unit 802. The first gripper 840 and the second gripper 860 can each have a structure form suitable for a function that the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 need to perform. Specific contents related to the grippers 840, 860 will be described later.
[0188] In the above description, the function and the action of the transfer means 800 are described, which can be performed by either or both of the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802. The transfer unit for each function and action can be selected differently according to the arrangement of the constituent elements.
[0189] The first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can set different actions for moving the mixing container 161 provided in the component supply section 160 to the cosmetic material supply section 200 according to the position at which the cosmetic material supply section 200 is arranged.
[0190] Specifically, when the cosmetic material is accommodated in the mixing container 161 from the cosmetic material supply section 200 arranged on the side (left side as a reference), Figure 4 the second transfer unit 802 can hold the mixing container 161 arranged in the component supply section 160 and directly move the mixing container 161 to the mixing container transfer section 250 arranged on the side.
[0191] In addition, when the cosmetic material is accommodated in the mixing container 161 from the cosmetic material supply part 200 disposed on the other side (the right side as a reference), Figure 4 The second transfer unit 802 can hold the mixing container 161 disposed in the component supply part 160 and place it on the mixing container 161 placing part 300 when the cosmetic material is accommodated in the mixing container 161 from the cosmetic material supply part 200 disposed on the other side. Then, the first transfer unit 801 can hold the mixing container 161 placed on the placing part 300 and move it to the mixing container transfer part 250 disposed on the other side.
[0192] As described above, the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 can separately take charge of the work completed on one side and the work completed on the other side in the inside of the cosmetic manufacturing space 102.
[0193] The first transfer unit 801 can perform the required action in order to move the components from any one of the cosmetic material supply part 200, the placing part 300, the assembly part 500, and the absorption part 600 disposed on the other side to the other, or to assemble the first container and the second container including the absorption process.
[0194] Specifically, the first transfer unit 801 can transfer the mixing container 161 from the placing part 300 to the mixing container transfer part 250 disposed on the other side, or move the mixing container transfer part 250 under the cosmetic material supply part 200 disposed on the other side, or assemble the discharge part 162 to the mixing container 161 placed on the placing part 300, or provide the impregnation part 168 to the base container 164 placed on the assembly part 500, or transfer the base container 164 from the assembly part 500 to the absorption part 600, or move the base container 164 in a predetermined order in the absorption part 600, or transfer the base container 164 and the impregnation part 168 in the absorption state again from the absorption part 600 to the assembly part 500, or combine the cover container 166 to the base container 164 placed on the assembly part 500.
[0195] To this end, the first clamp 840 can have a structure that can hold and move each component. In addition, the first clamp 840 can include a structure that allows the base container transfer part 650 provided to transfer the base container 164 on the absorption part 600 to act. In addition, the first clamp 840 can also have a function of combining the discharge part 162 with the mixing container 161 placed on the placing part 300 by rotating.
[0196] Further, the second transfer unit 802 can perform a desired action in order to move a component from any one of the component supply section 160, the cosmetic supply section 200 disposed on one side, the placement section 300, the mixing section 400, the assembly section 500 to another, or to assemble the first container and the second container including an absorption process.
[0197] Specifically, the second transfer unit 802 can perform a movement of the mixing container 161 from the component supply section 160 to the cosmetic supply section 200 disposed on one side (left side as a reference), Figure 4 the mixing container transfer section 250 disposed under the cosmetic supply section 200, or the mixing container 161 from the cosmetic supply section 200 disposed on one side to the mixing section 400, or the mixing container 161 completed with mixing from the mixing section 400 to the placement section 300, or to assist assembly of the mixing container 161 and the discharge component 162, or to move the first container completed with assembly at the placement section 300 or the second container completed with assembly at the assembly section 500 to the recess 167 of the component supply section 160, or to provide a function for an external force for absorption in the absorption section 600, and the like.
[0198] To this end, the second gripper 860 can have a structure capable of holding and moving the mixing container 161. Further, the second gripper 860 can include a structure capable of holding and moving the mixing container stopper 255 provided in the mixing container transfer section 250. Further, the second gripper 860 can also have a structure for aligning the suction tube 1622 when the first transfer unit 801 combines the discharge component 162 with the mixing container 161. Further, the second gripper 860 can also have a structure for operating the absorption tool 620 of the absorption section 600.
[0199] The actions performed by the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 as described above can be implemented using the characteristics of the multi-joint robot arm 810, and methods for controlling the same are well known in various forms, and thus detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.
[0200] On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a case where the multi-joint robot arm 810 is provided as the transfer means 800 is exemplified, but the idea of the present application is not limited thereto. For example, a transfer device capable of linear movement in 3-axis directions or the like can be provided as the transfer means 800, and additional devices for performing the above-described functions can be added thereto.
[0201] In one aspect, the control section 900 can basically control the above-described constituent elements. For example, the control section 900 can control the movement of the transfer means 800 and the amount of the cosmetic material to be discharged from the cosmetic material supply section 200. In addition, the control section 900 can include a skin state analysis section 910 that analyzes the skin state from the skin measurement data obtained from any one of the terminal 20 and the operation server 40. According to the embodiment, as described above, the skin state analysis section 910 can also obtain the result of the analysis.
[0202] Then, the control section 900 can include a composition ratio decision section 920 that decides the composition ratio data of the cosmetic material in order to manufacture the customized cosmetic in accordance with the skin state analysis result generated in the skin state analysis section 910. The composition ratio decision section 920 can also decide the composition ratio by substituting the skin state analysis result as a variable value into a preset calculation formula, or can decide the composition ratio by selecting the composition ratio that is closest to or most suitable for the skin state analysis result from among a plurality of composition ratios that are set in advance. It can be understood that the composition ratio data set in advance includes the kind, amount, and input ratio of the cosmetic material to be used, and can include the color or physical property data of the cosmetic corresponding to each composition ratio data so that the user can intuitively understand.
[0203] At this time, the control section 900 can include a composition ratio modification section 930 that provides the decided composition ratio to the user through the user interface section 130, thereby providing an opportunity for the user to modify the composition ratio data. The user can confirm the composition ratio data provided through the user interface section 130, and based on this, decide whether to directly accommodate or utilize other composition ratio data, and then input the modified data. At this time, the composition ratio data provided to the user can be the ratio itself, or can be the color or physical property or the like of the cosmetic manufactured in accordance with the composition ratio data. Thus, the modified data input by the user can also be the color or physical property or the like of the cosmetic. According to the embodiment, the composition ratio modification section 930 can also transmit data to the terminal 20 instead of the user interface section 130, thereby obtaining the modified data through the terminal 20.
[0204] In addition, the control section 900 can include a cosmetic kind reception section 940 that receives the kind of the desired cosmetic from the user, a manufacturing mode reception section 950 that receives the desired manufacturing mode, and the composition ratio decision section 920. In the present embodiment, the information provided to the cosmetic kind reception section 940 can be whether the kind of the customized cosmetic is the first container or the second container, and the information provided to the manufacturing mode reception section 950 can be whether the mode of taking a sample or the mode of taking a finished product. Among them, the sample refers to the cosmetic manufactured by maintaining the composition ratio of the cosmetic material and using only a relatively small amount, and the finished product refers to the cosmetic that is entirely filled with a preset capacity required as one sales product.
[0205] In addition, the manufacturing mode can further include a mode of requesting a finished product after the sample is taken, a mode of requesting a sample according to a re-changed composition ratio after the sample is taken, a mode of requesting disposal after the sample is taken, and the like. The manufacturing mode as described above can be provided to the user after the sample is taken.
[0206] The user can select the kind of the cosmetic or the manufacturing mode through the user interface 130. To this end, the user interface 130 can provide the user with a screen for selecting the kind of the cosmetic or the manufacturing mode. In addition, according to an embodiment, the user can also provide the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 with the kind of the cosmetic or the manufacturing mode through the terminal 20 or the operation server 40.
[0207] Hereinafter, a control method of a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0208] Figure 11 is a sequence diagram illustrating a control method of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of Figure 1 .
[0209] Referring to Figure 11 , the control method of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus can include a step S10 of calculating, by the control portion 900, data related to the cosmetic to be manufactured including a composition ratio, a step S20 of controlling, by the control portion 900, the cosmetic material supply portion 200 and the transfer means 800 to discharge the cosmetic material stored in the cosmetic material storage portion 140 to the mixing container 161 according to the composition ratio, a step S30 of controlling, by the control portion 900, the mixing portion 400 and the transfer means 800 to mix the cosmetic material discharged to the mixing container 161, a step S40 of providing the mixing container 161 to the user and obtaining, from the user, whether to change the composition ratio when the cosmetic material contained in the mixing container 161 is determined to be a sample by the control portion 900, and a step S50 of controlling, by the control portion 900, the transfer means 800 to store the cosmetic material contained in the mixing container 161 in at least one of the first container provided as a pump-type container and the second container provided as a powder box-type container, and provide the user.
[0210] 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.
[0211] Figure 12 To show in more detail Figure 1 A sequence diagram of the control method for the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10.
[0212] 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.
[0213] 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.
[0214] 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.
[0215] 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.
[0216] 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.
[0217] 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.
[0218] 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.
[0219] After collecting the necessary information and processing the data in order to manufacture cosmetics, the steps for manufacturing physical cosmetics are carried out.
[0220] 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.
[0221] 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.
[0222] 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.
[0223] Here, the movement of the mixing container 161 toward the cosmetic supply part 200 can be understood as the movement of the mixing container toward the mixing container placing groove 2547a of the mixing container transfer part 250.
[0224] On the other hand, when the step S210 is performed for the second time, i.e., as a sample manufacturing mode, the mixing container 161 provided to the user is recycled again, and then the step S210 is performed, the control part 900 can move the mixing container 161 on the component supply part 160 directly to the cosmetic supply part 200 or move the mixing container 161 on the component supply part 160 to the placing part 300 and then move the mixing container 161 from the placing part 300 to the cosmetic supply part 200 by using the transfer means 800.
[0225] As described above, the method of specific control is set to be different according to the number of times the step S210 is performed, and the mixing container 161 provided to the user as a sample is also used in the subsequent process, thereby preventing unnecessary process waste and material waste, and thus the production cost of the product can be reduced.
[0226] Then, the cosmetic supply part 200 is controlled by the control part 900, and the cosmetic is supplied to the mixing container 161 according to the preset composition ratio S220. The control part 900 can control the cosmetic to be sequentially discharged from each cartridge 142 through the cosmetic supply unit 220 to correspond to the preset composition ratio data and the manufacturing amount. To this end, the control part 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move and fix the moving block 254 of the mixing container transfer part 250. Specifically, the transfer means 800 can operate the mixing container locking rod 255 to be selectively restrained in the mixing container stopper 256, and can move the moving block 254 of the mixing container according to the preset order according to the composition ratio data, so that the mixing container 161 receives the cosmetic supplied from the cosmetic supply unit 220. Here, the movement of the mixing container transfer part 250 disposed on one side can be performed by the second transfer unit 802, and the movement of the mixing container transfer part 250 disposed on the other side can be performed by the first transfer unit 801.
[0227] In one aspect, in step S220, the control unit 900 can adjust the supply speed of the cosmetic supply unit 220 according to the amount of the cosmetic supplied. For example, when supplying the cosmetic stored in any one of the cartridges 142 to the mixing container 161, the cosmetic supply unit 220 can supply the cosmetic relatively quickly when the ratio B / A of the amount B already supplied to the total amount A to be supplied from the cartridge 142 is lower than a preset range, and can supply the cosmetic relatively slowly when the ratio is higher than the preset range. Thus, in the initial stage where fine control is not required, quick supply can be completed, and thus the overall cosmetic supply time can be shortened. As a method of measuring the amount B already supplied, a method of calculating the amount of supply from the record of the time and speed at which the cosmetic supply unit 220 is driven by the control unit 900, or a method of calculating from the weight data of the changing weight received from the weight sensor provided in the mixing container moving block 254 can be used.
[0228] The mixing container 161 in which the injection of the cosmetic by the cosmetic supply unit 200 is completed can be moved to the mixing unit 400 by the transfer means 800 (S230).
[0229] In this case, when the injection of the cosmetic by the cosmetic supply unit 200 disposed on one side to the mixing container 161 is completed, the mixing container 161 can be directly moved from the cosmetic supply unit 200 to the mixing unit 400 by the second transfer unit 802. In addition, when the injection of the cosmetic by the cosmetic supply unit 200 disposed on the other side to the mixing container 161 is completed, the mixing container 161 can be moved from the housing unit 300 to the mixing unit 400 by the second transfer unit 802 after being placed on the housing unit 300 by the first transfer unit 801.
[0230] The control unit 900 drives (e.g., rotates) the mixing unit 400 to apply an external force to the mixing container 161, thereby mixing the cosmetic contained in the mixing container 161 (S240). As described above, the mixing unit 400 can perform self-rotation while rapidly orbiting the mixing container 161, and the cosmetic inside the mixing container 161 can be uniformly mixed by the vortex generated thereby. At this time, 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 after the mixing unit 400 stops rotating. In this case, the transfer means 800 can insert the mixing container 161 into the first rotating member 402 stopped at the preset position, and thus has the advantage that the control for inserting the mixing container 161 into the first rotating member 402 can be simplified.
[0231] The above-described steps S210 to S240 can be understood as steps of supplying the cosmetic to the mixing container 161 and mixing a plurality of cosmetics contained in the mixing container 161.
[0232] Upon completion of the step S240, the control section 900 determines whether the manufacturing mode collected in the step S120 is the sample manufacturing mode or the finished product manufacturing mode S310.
[0233] Assuming that the finished product manufacturing mode is selected instead of the sample manufacturing mode, a process of manufacturing the cosmetic according to the cosmetic type can be performed S500. Details of the step S500 will be described later.
[0234] The control section 900 can control the transfer means 800 to supply the completed cosmetic container (the first container or the second container) manufactured through the step S500 to the user S900. Specifically, the control section 900 can control the second transfer unit 802 to place the completed cosmetic container (the first container or the second container) in the recess 167 of the component supply section 160. At this time, the user can open the component supply door 129 and take away the completed cosmetic container placed on the component supply section 160. Alternatively, the second transfer unit 802 can push the tray 165 of the component supply section 160 and discharge the completed cosmetic container placed on the component supply section 160 to the outside of the main body 100.
[0235] On the other hand, when the sample manufacturing mode is selected as a result of the step S310, the control section 900 can move the mixing container 161 of the mixing section 400 to the recess 167 or the mixing container support section 163a of the component supply section 160 by the transfer means 800 so that the mixed cosmetic 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 an embodiment, the control section 900 can also control the transfer means 800 to move the mixing container 161 of the mixing section 400 to the placing section 300 and then move the mixing container 161 from the placing section 300 to the component supply section 160.
[0236] The control section 900 can control the transfer means 800 to supply the mixing container 161 transferred from the component supply section 160 to the user S330. It can be understood that the step S330 is substantially the same as the step S900 described above.
[0237] Since the sample manufacturing mode is selected by the user, the user can take the mixing container 161 provided as a sample, use it after testing, and then place it again on the component supply section 160, specifically, the recess 167 or the mixing container support section 163a of the component supply section 160.
[0238] At this time, a certain sensing unit such as a weight sensor can be provided in at least one of the tray 165 or the recess 167 or the mixing container support portion 163a, so that it is possible 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 whether the user has put the mixing container 161 back into the component supply portion 160 through the user interface portion 130. Alternatively, the control portion 900 can inform the user of automatically returning the component supply portion 160 to the user through the user interface portion 130 after a predetermined time has elapsed, so as to guide the user to put the mixing container 161 back into the component supply portion 160.
[0239] The control portion 900 can move the tray 165 of the component supply portion 160 to the inside of the main body 100 again using the moving means 800, so that the mixing container 161 can be recycled again (S340).
[0240] At the same time, the control portion 900 can collect subsequent manufacturing mode data and, if necessary, composition ratio modification data from the user through the manufacturing mode receiving portion 950 (S350). The subsequent manufacturing mode is the same as the manufacturing mode in the above S120 step, and can be collected through the user interface portion 130 or the like, and can be one of the finished product manufacturing request, the composition ratio modification request, and the discard request. At this time, when the subsequent manufacturing mode selected by the user is the composition ratio modification request, the control portion 900 can further collect composition ratio modification data through the composition ratio modification portion 930.
[0241] When the subsequent manufacturing mode collected in the S350 step is the finished product manufacturing request (S360), the control portion 900 can change the total manufacturing amount of the cosmetic, change the manufacturing mode from the sample manufacturing mode to the finished product manufacturing mode to correspond to the finished product manufacturing (S370). At this time, the manufacturing amount data of the cosmetic that needs to be further manufactured can be set to be the capacity obtained by removing the capacity provided as the sample from the total capacity required in the finished product. According to an embodiment, the control portion 900 can also set the manufacturing amount of the cosmetic that needs to be further manufactured by considering the difference between the initial weight provided as the sample and the recycled weight.
[0242] Then, the control portion 900 can perform the above S210 step and the following steps again. Thereby, the further cosmetic material supply for manufacturing the finished product is completed according to the predetermined composition ratio, the data is changed to the finished product manufacturing mode, and thus, it is possible to perform the process of the S500 step and the following steps according to the result of the judgment in the S310 step.
[0243] On the other hand, when the result of the determination in the step S360 is not the request for the finished product manufacturing, the control unit 900 determines whether the request from the user is the request for the modification of the composition ratio (S380). In the present flowchart, the case where the step S360 and the step S380 are sequentially performed is exemplarily illustrated, but in the actual control program, they can be processed as one branch logic.
[0244] When the result of the determination in the step S380 is not the request for the modification of the composition ratio, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the mixed container 161 in which the cosmetic is stored from the component supply unit 160 to the recovery unit 112 (S420) as the request for the disposal of the manufactured sample. At this time, as the transfer means 800, the second transfer unit 802 can be used.
[0245] When the result of the determination in the step S380 is the request for the modification of the composition ratio, the control unit 900 determines whether the modification of the composition ratio as described above can be performed (S390). The request for the modification from the user can be various, and thus, depending on the situation, there can be a case where the modification cannot be performed using the cosmetic already manufactured in the mixed container 161. For example, when the cosmetic excluding a specific component, or the specific cosmetic is to be added more than the amount to be contained in the finished product, it is difficult to cope with by further supplying the cosmetic to the mixed container 161 in which the manufactured cosmetic is stored. In this case, the control unit 900 can output information that the modification of the composition ratio is not possible to the user through the user interface unit 130 (S430), and recover the mixed container 161 manufactured as the sample in the step S420.
[0246] On the other hand, when it is determined in the step S390 that the modification of the composition ratio is possible, the control unit 900 determines the composition ratio data and the manufacturing amount for manufacturing a new sample in accordance with the composition ratio of the request for the modification (S400). The essence thereof can be performed in the same manner as in the step S150, but the amount of further addition of each cosmetic can be calculated in consideration of the capacity of the cosmetic already added to the mixed container 161.
[0247] Then, the control unit 900 can perform the steps described above from the step S210 again. Thereby, the cosmetic is further supplied in accordance with the changed composition ratio data and the manufacturing amount to manufacture another sample, and since it is still in the sample manufacturing mode state, the process from the step S320 can be performed in accordance with the result of the determination in the step S310.
[0248] According to the embodiment, the number of times of the request for the modification of the sample can be limited, and the control unit 900 can inform the number of times of the limitation through the user interface unit 130 before and after the steps S350 and S370, or inform that the request for the modification of the sample cannot be performed again.
[0249] It can be understood that the steps S310 to S430 are steps of providing the user with a sample cosmetic.
[0250] Through the above process, the user can also take a sample of a cosmetic that he or she wants to manufacture, or a customized cosmetic that is suitable for his or her skin condition, test it, or change it and test it again, and can directly manufacture the product or the test sample after testing, so that the satisfaction with the cosmetic manufacturing device 10 can be greatly improved.
[0251] Hereinafter, the manufacturing process according to the type of cosmetic (e.g., first container or second container) performed as the step S500 will be specifically observed with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0252] Figure 13 is a sequence diagram showing the specific process of the manufacturing steps according to the type of cosmetic. Figure 12
[0253] Referring to Figure 13 As the step S500, the control unit 900 can move the mixed container 161, in which mixing is completed in the mixing unit 400, to the component placement unit 50 (specifically, the placement unit 300) by the transfer means 800, and the mixed container 161 placed on the placement unit 300 can wait for the step S510 for the subsequent process.
[0254] When the type of cosmetic collected in the step S110 is the first container, the control unit 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the discharge component 162 provided in the component supply unit 160 to the upper portion of the mixed container 161 placed on the placement unit 300, as the step S520. This process can be performed by the second transfer unit 802, which can move the discharge component 162 to the prescribed position and maintain the state of continuously holding the discharge component 162. Herein, the type of cosmetic can be transmitted to the control unit 900 from the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20.
[0255] Then, the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800 to combine the discharge component 162 with the mixed container 161 on the placement unit 300 (S620). The combination of the mixed container 161 and the discharge component 162 can be completed by screw combination, and the mixed container 161 is fixed in the mixed container placement groove 302 of the placement unit 300, so that the transfer means 800 can rotate the discharge component 162 after aligning the upper end portion of the mixed container 161 with the discharge component 162, thereby completing the screw combination.
[0256] At this time, the discharge member 162 can include a suction tube 1622, a pump portion 1621, and a cap 1623, the suction tube 1622 needs to enter the inside of the mixing container 161 before the screwing of the cap 1623 and the mixing container 161. However, the suction tube 1622 is formed of a flexible material, and its shape or direction is not necessarily fixed, so the first transfer unit 801 can support the suction tube 1622 to smoothly enter the inlet of the mixing container 161 during the coupling process. Specifically, the second transfer unit 802 can hold the cap 1623, and the first transfer unit 801 can move up and down while being in contact with the suction tube 1622 to align the suction tube 1622 with the inlet portion 1611 of the mixing container 161 placed on the placement portion 300.
[0257] By completing the coupling of the mixing container 161 and the discharge member 162, the first container is provided as a finished product, and the control portion 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the assembled container S630 on the placement portion 300 to the member supply portion 160. This can be performed by the second transfer unit 802. The processes S610 to S630 described above can be understood as an assembly process of the first container.
[0258] On the other hand, when it is determined in the S520 step that the type of the cosmetic to be manufactured is the second container, the control portion 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the base container 164 on the member supply portion 160 to the assembly portion 500 (S710). This process can be performed by the second transfer unit 802.
[0259] Then, the control portion 900 can control the transfer means 800 to take the mixing container 161 from the placement portion 300 and pour the mixed cosmetic into the inside of the base container 164 to discharge S720. The discharge of the cosmetic from the mixing container 161 can be performed by a method of rotating the mixing container 161 to allow the cosmetic to naturally fall by gravity, and for this, the transfer means 800 can perform an operation of tilting the mixing container 161 by a certain angle. In this case, the cosmetic inside the mixing container 161 can not be completely discharged, and the transfer means 800 can further perform an operation of rotating the mixing container 161 by a predetermined angle and shaking after a certain time elapses to be able to discharge as much of the cosmetic as possible by inertia. The processes described above can be performed by the second transfer unit 802. For example, the mixing container 161 can be rotated by 150 degrees to 180 degrees, and when the mixing container 161 is rotated by 180 degrees, it can be understood that the inlet portion 1611 of the mixing container 161 faces the bottom surface.
[0260] The control portion 900 can further control the transfer means 800 performing the S720 step to move the mixing container 161 in which the discharge of the cosmetic is completed to the recovery portion 112 to recover.
[0261] Then, the control section 900 can control the transfer means 800 to grip the impregnation member 168 from the component supply section 160 and insert into the base container 164 containing the cosmetic S730. This process can be performed by the second transfer unit 802.
[0262] Then, the control section 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the base container 164 containing the impregnation member 168 to the absorption section 600 (S740). This process can be performed by the first transfer unit 801.
[0263] The absorption process S750 can be performed by the absorption tool 620 after the base container 164 is moved to a position corresponding to the absorption tool 620 by the base container transfer section 650 in the absorption section 600. The control section 900 can control the transfer means 800 for the movement of the base container 164 and the action of the absorption tool 620, specifically, the action of moving the base container 164 by the base container transfer section 650 can be performed by the first transfer unit 801, and the provision of the pressurized force for absorption by the absorption tool 620 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 movement structure of the base container transfer section 650 is the same as that of the mixed container transfer section 250 described above, and can include a guide rail, a moving block, a locking rod, a stopper, etc., and can substantially have the same action. However, the moving block of the base container transfer section 650 can further include a structure for linkage with the absorption tool 620. Through this process, the cosmetic contained in the base container 164 can be sufficiently impregnated in the impregnation member 168.
[0264] After the absorption process in the S750 step is completed, the control section 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the base container 164 from the absorption section 600 to the assembly section 500 again. This process can be performed by the first transfer unit 801.
[0265] Then, the control section 900 can control the transfer means 800 to take out the cover container 166 from the component supply section 160 and combine with the base container 164 on the assembly section 500 S770. This process can also be performed by the first transfer unit 801.
[0266] By completing the combination of the base container 164 and the cover container 166, thereby completing the second container as a finished product, the control section 900 can control the transfer means 800 to move the assembled container on the assembly section 500 to the component supply section 160 S780. This can be performed by the second transfer unit 802. As described above, the steps S710 to S780 can be understood as the assembly process of the second container.
[0267] By the above-described procedure, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 and the control method of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can provide the first container as a pump-type container and the second container as a powder box-type container according to the user's selection. However, the idea of the present application is not limited to this, and according to the embodiment, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can also be realized and operated by providing only one of the first container and the second container as a cosmetic container. In this case, the components and the control method for the other kind of cosmetic manufacturing can also be omitted in the above-described explanation.
[0268] Figure 14 is a sequence diagram showing a control method of a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0269] The control method of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application can include a step S1000 of obtaining, by the control section 900, a skin state measured by a measurement sensor; a step S2000 of calculating a first composition ratio based on the obtained skin state; a step S3000 of obtaining, from the operation server 40, a cosmetic purchase history of the user, and calculating a second composition ratio in which the first composition ratio is corrected by a predetermined algorithm based on the purchase history; and a step S6000 of discharging cosmetic materials in accordance with the second composition ratio by controlling the cosmetic material supply section 200 by the control section 900.
[0270] In addition, after the step S6000, it can further include a step S7000 of manufacturing a cosmetic in accordance with the second composition ratio by controlling the transfer means 800 by the control section 900; a step S8000 of obtaining a fourth composition ratio in which a modification is made in the composition ratio of the manufactured cosmetic when the manufactured cosmetic is manufactured in accordance with the sample manufacturing mode; and a step S9000 of manufacturing a cosmetic in accordance with the fourth composition ratio by controlling the transfer means 800 by the control section 900.
[0271] First, the step S1000 of obtaining, by the control section 900, a skin state measured by a measurement sensor is described as follows.
[0272] The measurement sensor (not shown) can be provided as a part of the terminal 20 or as a device separate from the terminal 20.
[0273] For example, the measurement sensor can be a known skin state measurement means such as a camera, a moisture sensor, an oil sensor, a color difference meter, or the like, and can be provided as a part of the terminal 20 or as a device separate from the terminal 20.
[0274] In the present embodiment, a case where the measurement sensor includes a color difference meter that can measure skin measurement values that can be represented by L, a, b and an oil and moisture sensor that can measure oil and moisture is exemplified. Among them, the L, a, b information measured in the color difference meter can be used when the composition ratio of the foundation product is decided, and the information of the oil and moisture measured in the oil and moisture sensor can be used when the composition ratio of the skin care product is decided.
[0275] However, the idea of the present application is not limited to this, and the L, a, b information measured in the color difference meter and the information of the oil and moisture measured in the oil and moisture sensor can all be used when the composition ratio of the foundation product is decided and when the composition ratio of the skin care product is decided.
[0276] The measurement sensor can measure the skin state of the user, and at least one of the L, a, b values, the oil value, and the moisture value of the skin as a result of the measurement is transmitted to the control section 900 of the cosmetic manufacturing device 10. Among them, it can be understood that L shows the brightness in the CIE L*a*b* color space, a indicates which side of red and green is inclined, and b indicates which side of yellow and blue is inclined.
[0277] In the present embodiment, a case where the composition ratio (first composition ratio, second composition ratio, fourth composition ratio) described later is calculated by the control section 900 of the cosmetic manufacturing device 10 is exemplified, but the idea of the present application is not limited to this, and a case where the composition ratio is calculated by the terminal 20 and the operation server 40 can be included.
[0278] Next, the step S2000 of calculating the first composition ratio by the control section 900 based on the obtained skin state will be specifically described as follows.
[0279] The first composition ratio can be decided by substituting the skin measurement values measured by the measurement sensor into a predetermined calculation formula as a variable, or a composition ratio corresponding to the smallest difference between the skin measurement values measured by the measurement sensor and the set values set in advance in the product database is decided as the first composition ratio.
[0280] The cosmetic manufacturing device 10 can include a product database and a customer database, and the product database can store the composition ratio of the cosmetic ingredients corresponding to the L, a, b values.
[0281] Figure 15 is a graph showing one example of the composition ratio of the cosmetic ingredients corresponding to the L, a, b set values stored in the product database.
[0282] Figure 15 The L, a, b set values and the cosmetic composition ratio illustrated in the above are only examples, and the L, a, b values and the cosmetic composition ratio are not limited to Figure 15 The L, a, b values and the cosmetic composition ratio illustrated in the above.
[0283] In the present embodiment, a case where the first composition ratio is determined by the composition ratio corresponding to the value that is the smallest among the difference between the skin measurement value measured by the measurement sensor and the set value set in advance in the product database is exemplified.
[0284] Specifically, when the skin measurement value measured by the measurement sensor is L2, a2, b2, and the value stored in the product database is L1, a1, b1, the composition ratio corresponding to the value that is the smallest among the values of is set as the first composition ratio. (For example, refer to Figure 15 , when the skin measurement value is 90, 40, 40, the composition ratio of the arbitrary cosmetic ingredients A:B:C:D can be determined as 1:1:0.9:0.7.)
[0285] Here, the composition ratio stored in the product database can be 500 to 100,000, and can be preferably 900 to 50,000.
[0286] On the other hand, the cosmetic manufacturing device 10 can further include a customer database that can store the user environment information.
[0287] Next, the step S3000 of obtaining the cosmetic purchase history of the user from the operation server 40 and calculating the second composition ratio in which the first composition ratio is corrected by a predetermined algorithm based on the purchase history will be specifically described.
[0288] The step S3000 can be understood as a step of recommending the cosmetic having the second composition ratio that shows a brighter color than the first composition ratio to the user when the user has a brighter color purchase history of the cosmetic having the first composition ratio (and conversely, a step of recommending the cosmetic having the second composition ratio that shows a darker color than the first composition ratio to the user when the user has a darker color purchase history of the cosmetic having the first composition ratio).
[0289] For example, when the user has a purchase history of purchasing the cosmetic having an arbitrary composition ratio X2:Y2:Z2:K2 of the cosmetic ingredients, the first composition ratio can be an arbitrary composition ratio X1:Y1:Z1:K1 of the cosmetic ingredients.
[0290] In this case, the second composition ratio can be set to the composition ratio (P*X1+X2) / (P+1):(P*Y1+Y2) / (P+1):(P*Z1+Z2) / (P+1):(P*K1+K2) / (P+1) of the arbitrary cosmetic. Here, P can be a weight, and the weight can be obtained by the user through the user interface 130 or the terminal 20. P can be a natural number between 1 and 10. For example, when the user assigns a weight of 2 to the purchase history, the second composition ratio can be set to (2*X1+X2) / 3:(2*Y1+Y2) / 3:(2*Z1+Z2) / 3:(2*K1+K2) / 3. Here, * can be defined as a multiplication operator.
[0291] In addition, when the user purchases the cosmetic a plurality of times, the composition ratio X2:Y2:Z2:K2 of the arbitrary cosmetic can be the average of the composition ratios of the cosmetics purchased a plurality of times.
[0292] In addition, the user can have a purchase history of the cosmetic that can display L3, a3, and b3.
[0293] In this case, the skin measurement value measured by the measurement sensor can be corrected to a measurement correction value of (P*L3+L2) / (P+1), (P*a3+a2) / (P+1), and (P*b3+b2). At this time, the second composition ratio can be determined through the composition ratio corresponding to the value having the smallest difference from the measurement correction value and the set value set in advance in the product database. Here, P can be a weight, and the weight can be obtained by the user through the user interface 130 or the terminal 20, and can be a natural number between 1 and 10.
[0294] Here, the operation server 40 can store the cosmetic purchase information of the user and the above-described user context.
[0295] In addition, although the calculation process of the above-described first composition ratio and the second composition ratio is exemplified as being performed by the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10, the idea of the present application is not limited thereto, and can include a case in which the first composition ratio and the second composition ratio are calculated by the operation server 40 and then transmitted to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 or displayed at the terminal 20 or the user interface 130. In addition, the operation server 40 can further include the above-described customer database and the product database.
[0296] The above-described S1000, S2000, and S3000 can be understood as a step S10 of calculating data related to the cosmetic to be manufactured including the composition ratio by the control unit 900. Figure 11
[0297] Next, the step S6000 of discharging the cosmetic material in the second composition ratio by controlling the cosmetic material supply section 200 by the control section 900 will be described in detail.
[0298] In the cosmetic material storage section 140, a plurality of cosmetic materials are stored in a plurality of cartridges 142, and the control section 900 can control the cosmetic material supply section 200 to control at least one of the composition ratio, the discharge amount, and the discharge speed of the cosmetic material stored in the cartridge 142.
[0299] As described above, the cosmetic material discharged from the cosmetic material supply section 200 can be accommodated in the mixing container 161 by the movement of the moving block 254 of the mixing container.
[0300] After the step S6000, the step S7000 of manufacturing the cosmetic material in the second composition ratio by controlling the transfer means 800 by the control section 900 can be performed.
[0301] Specifically, the cosmetic material stored in the mixing container 161 in the second composition ratio can be placed on the component placement unit 50 by controlling the transfer means 800 by the control section 900.
[0302] After the step S7000, the step S8000 of obtaining a fourth composition ratio in which the composition ratio of the manufactured cosmetic material is modified when the manufactured cosmetic material is manufactured in the sample manufacturing mode can be performed.
[0303] Whether the cosmetic material is manufactured in the sample manufacturing mode or the finished product manufacturing mode can be input before or after the step S1000 by using the user interface section 130 or the terminal 20.
[0304] The user interface section 130 can provide an input section (not shown) that can select whether the cosmetic material to be manufactured is provided as a sample in the sample manufacturing mode or as a finished product in the finished product manufacturing mode.
[0305] The step S8000 will be described in more detail. The cosmetic material manufactured in the second composition ratio can be stored in the mixing container 161 and delivered to the user by the component supply section 160, and the user can use the cosmetic material (sample) manufactured in the second composition ratio.
[0306] At this time, after using the cosmetic material manufactured in the second composition ratio, the user can decide whether it is suitable for himself / herself, make a request for the finished product manufacturing or a request for the modification of the composition ratio, and when there is a request for the modification of the composition ratio, the fourth composition ratio in which the second composition ratio is modified can be input to the user interface section 130 or the terminal 20 and delivered to the control section 900.
[0307] Further, the step S8000 can collect subsequent manufacturing mode data from the user. Specifically, the user can input one of the finished product manufacturing request, the composition ratio modification request, and the discard request through the user interface section 130 or the terminal 20. When the manufactured cosmetic product is a finished product manufacturing mode, the step of obtaining the fourth composition ratio can be omitted, and the finished product can be manufactured.
[0308] The step S8000 can include Figure 12 The detailed description of the steps S310 to S400 illustrated in FIG. 10 is referred to the above-described steps S310 to S400.
[0309] After the step S8000, the step S9000 of manufacturing the cosmetic product in the fourth composition ratio by controlling the transfer means 800 by the control section 900 can be further performed, thereby manufacturing the cosmetic product in the fourth composition ratio. Here, the fourth composition ratio can be understood as the above-described composition ratio modification data.
[0310] The step S9000 can include Figure 12 and Figure 13 The detailed description of the step S500 illustrated in FIG. 10 is referred to the above-described step S500.
[0311] Figure 16 is a sequence diagram showing a control method of a cosmetic product manufacturing apparatus according to another embodiment of the present application.
[0312] The Figure 16 is compared with the control method of the cosmetic product manufacturing apparatus of Figure 14 , and between the steps S3000 to S7000, the step S4000 of displaying at least one of the first composition ratio and the second composition ratio on the user interface section 130 is provided; the step S5000 of transmitting one of the first composition ratio, the second composition ratio, or a third composition ratio modified on one of the first composition ratio and the second composition ratio to the control section 900; and the step S6000 of controlling the cosmetic material supply section 200 by the control section 900 to discharge the cosmetic material in one of the input first composition ratio to the third composition ratio are provided, and thus the main difference is present at this point, and thus the description is mainly made with the difference point, and the description of the same part is referred to the above-described Figure 15 .
[0313] First, the step S4000 of displaying at least one of the first composition ratio and the second composition ratio on the user interface section 130 is specifically described as follows.
[0314] The first and second composition ratios can be displayed on one of the user interface section 130 and the terminal 20, and the user can select one of the first and second composition ratios displayed on the user interface section 130 or the terminal 20, or modify the composition ratio to one of the first and second composition ratios.
[0315] The display of the first and second composition ratios includes not only the numerical value of the composition ratio itself, but also a case where the color corresponding to the composition ratio is displayed.
[0316] Next, the step S5000 of obtaining one of the first and second composition ratios or the third composition ratio modified from one of the first and second composition ratios and transmitting it to the control section 900 is described in detail as follows.
[0317] The user can select one of the first and second composition ratios displayed on the user interface section 130 or the terminal 20, or modify the composition ratio to one of the first and second composition ratios. At this time, the modified composition ratio can be understood as the third composition ratio, and the modification of the composition ratio includes not only the numerical value of the composition ratio itself, but also a case where the color corresponding to the composition ratio is modified.
[0318] When the user corrects the composition ratio from the first or second composition ratio to the third composition ratio through the user interface section 130 or the terminal 20, the step S5000 can include a step of reflecting the user's reason for the correction of the composition ratio, recommending the third composition ratio, and the user selecting the recommended third composition ratio.
[0319] Specifically, the step S5000 can include a step of displaying a selection reason to the user interface section 130 or the terminal 20 so that the user can input a reason for selecting one of the first and second composition ratios, a step of the control section 900 obtaining the selection reason, calculating the third composition ratio according to a predetermined algorithm, and displaying the calculated third composition ratio to the user interface section 130 or the terminal 20, and a step of obtaining one of the third composition ratio, the first composition ratio, and the second composition ratio displayed on the user interface section 130 or the terminal 20 and transmitting it to the control section 900.
[0320] An example of the process of the control section 900 obtaining the selection reason and calculating the third composition ratio according to a predetermined algorithm is described as follows.
[0321] For example, when the user selects the second composition ratio (the composition ratio reflecting the purchase history), the following prompt can be displayed on the user interface section 130 or the terminal 20 as a reply to the selection reason.
[0322] 1) wanting to maintain the properties (color, moisture retention, etc.) of the previously used cosmetic as they are, 2) maintaining the properties (color, moisture retention, etc.) of the previously used cosmetic at around 80% and wanting to use a cosmetic that is somewhat suitable for the skin condition, 3) maintaining the properties (color, moisture retention, etc.) of the previously used cosmetic at around 50% and wanting to use a cosmetic that is somewhat suitable for the skin condition, 4) maintaining the properties (color, moisture retention, etc.) of the previously used cosmetic at around 20% and wanting to use a cosmetic that is more suitable for the skin condition, 5) others (direct input of the answer).
