Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cosmetic processing technology, specifically a semi-automatic continuous emulsification method. Background Technology
[0002] Cosmetics are preparations used on the human body to beautify, preserve or alter a person’s appearance, or to cleanse, dye, wipe, correct or protect the skin, hair, nails, eyes or teeth.
[0003] There are many types of cosmetics, including serums. Serums are a type of skincare product used on the face, containing precious active ingredients such as plant extracts, ceramides, and squalane. Their functions include anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, moisturizing, whitening, and removing blemishes.
[0004] In the production process of serums, the raw materials are mostly produced using an intermittent emulsification method. This method has poor processing efficiency and cannot be used for continuous production, which affects the efficiency of intermittent emulsification and leads to large differences between different batches of serums. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, the present invention aims to provide a semi-automatic continuous emulsification method that possesses the advantages of continuous emulsification. This method solves the problems of poor processing efficiency and inability to produce continuously by intermittent emulsification, which affects the efficiency of intermittent emulsification and leads to significant differences between different batches of essence.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a semi-automatic continuous emulsification method, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1: The oil phase raw material and the water phase raw material are stored in two sealed storage cylinders respectively, and then the oil phase raw material and the water phase raw material are heated separately using a heating module;
[0008] S2: When the oil phase raw material and the water phase raw material are heated, they are injected into the inside of the long-distance sealed pipeline. At the same time, a screw conveyor needs to be installed inside the long-distance sealed pipeline to transport the oil phase raw material and the water phase raw material injected into the sealed pipeline.
[0009] S3: At the same time, the surface of the sealed pipeline is provided with a jacket for cooling. During the conveying and mixing of oil phase raw materials and water phase raw materials, coolant can flow inside the jacket and cool the mixed liquid, so that the temperature of the mixed liquid at different heights in the sealed pipeline gradually decreases.
[0010] S4: When the mixed liquid of oil phase raw materials and water phase raw materials is cooled to an appropriate temperature, the fragrance is injected into the inside of the sealed pipe through the fragrance storage tank with external storage, and then the mixture is continuously stirred.
[0011] S5: After the temperature of the mixed liquid decreases again, discharge the raw materials and use packaging equipment for packaging.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of temperature detectors are installed on the surface of both the sealed storage cylinder and the sealed pipe, and the temperature detectors are capable of monitoring the temperature of the liquid inside the sealed storage cylinder and the sealed pipe.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the sealed pipe is connected to a plurality of feeding solenoid valves corresponding to the temperature detectors. The temperature detectors can control the opening and closing of the feeding solenoid valves, and the end of the feeding solenoid valve away from the sealed pipe is connected to the flavor storage tank.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the sealed pipe is connected to a plurality of discharge solenoid valves corresponding to the temperature detectors. The temperature detectors can control the opening and closing of the discharge solenoid valves. The discharge solenoid valves are located on one side of the feeding solenoid valves, and the end of the discharge solenoid valves away from the sealed pipes is connected to the packaging equipment.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the screw conveyor consists of a drive device and a screw conveying rod. The drive device is installed at the end of the sealed pipe away from the discharge solenoid valve. The screw conveying rod is connected to the output end of the drive device and is located inside the sealed pipe. The outer surface of the screw conveying rod is in contact with the inner wall of the sealed pipe.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the spiral conveyor is equipped with a plurality of mutually symmetrical stirring blocks, which can improve the mixing effect of oil phase raw materials and water phase raw materials during the conveying process.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sealed storage cylinder and the sealed pipeline are interconnected by a metering pump, which can control the continuous delivery of oil phase raw materials and water phase raw materials.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the feeding solenoid valve and the discharging solenoid valve are both connected to the sealed pipeline via one-way valves. The one-way valves can prevent the mixed liquid inside the sealed pipeline from back-permeating into the feeding solenoid valve or the discharging solenoid valve.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating temperature of the oil phase raw material and the water phase raw material inside the sealed cylinder is 80-90 degrees Celsius. When the temperature of the mixed liquid inside the sealed pipe drops to 59-64 degrees Celsius, the fragrance is injected. When the temperature of the mixed liquid drops to 40-44 degrees Celsius, the liquid is discharged for packaging.

When the temperature is qualified, the corresponding discharge solenoid valve or feed solenoid valve can be activated to process the mixed liquid.
[0023] 3. By setting a stirring block, the present invention can improve the mixing uniformity of the liquid mixture and increase the contact area between the liquid mixture and the screw conveyor.
[0024] 4. By setting up a metering pump, this invention allows users to easily control the injection volume of oil-phase and water-phase raw materials according to their needs, thus meeting the processing requirements of different specifications of essence.
[0025] 5. By setting a one-way valve, the present invention can prevent the mixed liquid from back-permeating into the interior of the feeding solenoid valve or the discharging solenoid valve. Detailed Implementation
