Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of dyeing color matching, in particular to a dyeing agent intelligent color matching machine and a color matching method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous progress of economic conditions and material life, the demand for hair dyeing is also increasing. The traditional beauty industry needs manual color matching of hair dye before dyeing. Since the colorant is added manually each time, the matching error is large each time, and the dyeing effect is difficult to ensure consistency.

[0003] Therefore, some color matching devices have appeared on the market to replace manual colorant matching in color matching, such as Chinese patent 202010980579.8 discloses an internet-type intelligent hair dye color matching device, which discloses an internet-type intelligent hair dye color matching device, comprising a plurality of material tank containers, each of which is provided with a consumable color tank, the consumable color tank is provided with a color outlet pipe penetrating to the bottom of the material tank container; the bottom of the material tank container is respectively provided with a peristaltic pump, the hose inlet of the peristaltic pump is provided with an inlet pipe, and the hose outlet of the peristaltic pump is provided with an outlet pipe; further comprising a dispenser, the dispenser is provided with a plurality of outlet pipe openings; the end of the color outlet pipe is inserted into the inlet pipe, and the outlet pipe is connected with the outlet pipe opening on the dispenser. The material disc is arranged below the weighing element of the weighing sensor arranged below. The effect of each matching formula of hair dyeing is basically the same, standardization operation can be performed, and customer satisfaction can be improved.

[0004] In the above technical solution, the colorant is transported mainly through the pipe and the peristaltic pump. This structure can cause the colorant to adhere and accumulate on the inner wall of the pipe, and thus blockage and material jamming can easily occur. In addition, a set of independent pipe and peristaltic pump feeding assembly is required at the bottom of each material tank, which leads to a complicated and bulky device structure, a large number of control components, and increased hidden troubles. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to provide a dyeing agent intelligent color matching machine and a color matching method, which can help to solve the problem of complicated and bulky structure of the existing color matching machine and easy colorant blockage.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A smart color mixing machine for dyes includes a control chip connected to various driving or detection components, a user terminal, and an external cloud platform. The machine also includes a housing with a turntable inside. The turntable is connected to a rotation drive component, which drives the turntable to rotate along a vertical central axis. The turntable has several material cylinders, all located on the same circular path. A base plate is located at the bottom of the turntable, with a discharge port on the base plate. Below the discharge port is a detachable material cup, and the bottom of the material cup is equipped with a weighing device. The heavy module has a hollow vertical cylinder with a material cavity for holding pigment. A piston is located at the top of the pigment in the material cavity. The main body is located directly above the discharge port and has a discharge drive component. The discharge drive component has a pressure rod that can move up and down. The pressure rod can extend into the material cylinder located directly below and abut against and push the piston, so that the pigment in the material cylinder falls from the bottom opening of the material cylinder through the discharge port into the material cup. The piston is equipped with a material control structure to prevent the pigment from slipping when not discharging.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, an arrival detection device for identifying and judging the position of different material cylinders is provided between the turntable and the base plate.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the positioning detection device includes electronic tags fixed on the turntable corresponding to the bottom of each material cylinder, and a card reader fixed on one side of the discharge port. The card reader can identify the electronic tags located above it.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, a vertical rotating shaft is provided between the rotating drive component and the turntable, and a rotation detection device for detecting the rotation angle of the rotating shaft is provided between the rotating shaft and the base plate.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the piston can be slidably abutted against the inner wall of the material chamber, and a sealing element is provided at the bottom of the piston.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the piston includes a fixed part and a movable part arranged inside and outside. The fixed part has a longitudinal through hole inside, through which the movable part passes. When the pressure rod moves downward, it can abut against the top of the movable part and push the movable part downward. The bottom of the movable part has an "I"-shaped extension block. The extension block and the fixed part form two sets of limiting and locking end faces to constrain the longitudinal movement of the movable part. A spring is provided between the movable part and the fixed part. The spring can drive the movable part to move upward relative to the fixed part. The bottom of the sealing part is fixed to the bottom of the extension block, and the top of the sealing part is sleeved on the outer wall of the bottom of the fixed part. In the non-feeding state, the spring drives the movable part to rise and, together with the sealing part, forms a negative pressure chamber in the material cavity, so that the pigment in the material cavity is subjected to an upward adsorption force and will not fall off, thus constituting the material control structure.

[0013] On the basis of the above technical scheme, a conical frustum is arranged on the outer side wall of the bottom of the fixing member.

[0014] On the basis of the above technical scheme, a conical frustum is arranged on the outer side wall of the bottom of the fixing member.

[0015] A color adjusting method is provided, which utilizes the above-mentioned intelligent color adjusting machine for dyeing agent to perform the following steps:

[0016] A1: a user selects a color on a user terminal;

[0017] A2: a control chip sends a selected color signal to a cloud platform, the cloud platform performs a colorant parameter matching calculation according to the color signal, and returns a colorant parameter related signal calculated to the control chip;

[0018] A3: the control chip generates a corresponding instruction according to the colorant parameter, and sends the instruction to a rotating driving member, a discharging driving member and a weighing module, so that the selected material is discharged in cooperation to obtain a prepared dyeing agent.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present application has at least the following advantages:

[0020] 1. The present application loads a plurality of colorants of different colors by setting the structure of the rotating disc and the barrel, and sets a straight-through material falling structure to replace the complicated material discharging structure such as a pipe and a peristaltic pump, thereby simplifying the structure layout, making the product structure more compact and small, and improving the material discharging efficiency.

[0021] 2. The present application forms an intelligent color adjusting system by connecting the control chip with the user terminal, the cloud platform and each driving or detecting component, so that the hair dye is prepared conveniently, efficiently and accurately, the traditional manual operation is replaced, and the product matching accuracy and color adjusting quality consistency are greatly improved.

[0022] 3. The present application sets the material control structure, so that the colorant in the barrel does not fall in the non-discharging state, thereby ensuring the storage stability of the colorant in the material cavity, and simplifying the opening and closing control structure, making it further compact and small, and being able to adapt to more use scenarios.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, a detailed description is provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses an intelligent color mixing machine for dyes. The color mixing machine includes a rectangular shell 1, which is assembled from two parts, namely a base and a top cover. The two parts are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure, which allows for easy disassembly and assembly when the internal structure needs to be operated and maintained.

[0035] The shell 1 is provided with a control chip connected with each driving or detecting component, user terminal and external cloud platform signal, which is prior art, and the specific structure and working principle in the operation process will not be repeated here. The role of the control chip in this embodiment is to generate and control driving instructions and signal transmission.

[0036] The shell 1 is provided with a rotating disc 2, which is a horizontal disc structure, and a rotating driving part 4 is connected below the center position of the rotating disc 2. The rotating driving part 4 can drive the rotating disc 2 to rotate along the vertical center axis. Specifically, the rotating driving part 4 adopts a servo motor, and the output end is drivingly connected with the rotating disc 2 through a vertical rotating shaft.

[0037] The rotating disc 2 is provided with 12 barrels 3, each of which is located on the same rotating circumferential path and is centrally symmetrically arranged, which makes each barrel 3 pass through the same position after following the rotating disc 2 to rotate, and the position can be used as a discharging station.

[0038] Further, the bottom of the rotating disc 2 is provided with a bottom plate 5 which is parallel to the rotating disc 2 and fixedly connected with the inner side wall of the shell 1. A discharging port 51 is arranged on the bottom plate 5 and longitudinally penetrates the bottom plate 5. The shell 1 below the discharging port 51 is provided with a material taking port 11 which is communicated with the external space. A separable cup 7 is arranged in the material taking port 11, which is used to contain the colorant c after being proportioned. The bottom of the cup 7 is provided with a weighing module 71 which includes a weight sensor and other electronic elements, and is used to detect the weight of the colorant c added in the cup 7. The weighing module 71 is prior art, and the specific structure and working principle in the operation process will not be repeated here.

[0039] Specifically, the barrel 3 is a hollow vertical cylinder, and has a material cavity 31 for containing the colorant c in the inside. The bottom of the material cavity 31 is used as a discharging end. A piston 8 is arranged in the material cavity 31 and located at the top of the colorant c. A sealing piece 9 is arranged at the bottom of the piston 8, which specifically adopts a rubber sheet. The piston 8 is used to extrude the colorant c by moving downward in the material cavity 31, so that the colorant c is discharged downward. The discharging amount is controlled according to the moving stroke of the piston 8.

[0040] Further, the body above the discharging port 51 is provided with a discharging driving part 6. The discharging driving part 6 is provided with a pressure rod 61 which can move up and down. In this embodiment, the discharging driving part 6 specifically adopts an electric cylinder, and the telescopic rod thereof is vertically downward as the pressure rod 61. The pressure rod 61 can extend into the inside of the barrel 3 below and abut and push the piston 8, so that the colorant c in the barrel 3 falls into the cup 7 through the discharging port 51 from the bottom opening of the barrel 3.

[0041] Furthermore, a positioning detection device for identifying the positions of different material cylinders 3 is provided between the turntable 2 and the base plate 5. Specifically, the positioning detection device includes an electronic tag a1 fixed on the turntable 2 corresponding to the bottom of each material cylinder 3, and a card reader a2 fixed on one side of the discharge port. The card reader a2 can identify the electronic tag a1 located above it.

[0042] In addition, a rotation detection device for detecting the rotation angle of the rotating shaft is provided between the rotating shaft and the base plate 5. Specifically, the rotation detection device adopts an encoder b. In the specific implementation process, the position detection device is used to detect whether the material cylinder 3 corresponding to the required color has rotated to the feeding port 51 position, and the rotation parameters of the encoder b and the system preset parameters are used for self-detection. The dual detection works together to ensure rotation accuracy and stability.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] Based on Example 1, in order to ensure that the pigment c can accurately fall from the material cylinder 3 into the material cup 7, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the material cylinder 3 is provided with a conical hopper 32, and the bottom of the conical hopper 32 serves as the discharge end. Due to the reduced diameter structure of the conical hopper 32, the discharge end is more centrally located, thus providing better guidance. This allows the pigment c to accurately pass through the discharge port 51 during the falling process, reducing the phenomenon of pigment c sticking to the bottom plate 5 and the inner wall of the shell 1.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] Based on Embodiment 1, the piston 8 is provided with a material control structure, which is used to prevent the pigment c from slipping when not being fed.

[0047] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 As shown, the piston 8 includes a fixed member 81 and a movable member 82 disposed inside and outside. The fixed member 81 has a longitudinal through hole inside, through which the movable member 82 passes. When the pressure rod 61 moves downward, it can abut against the top of the movable member 82 and push the movable member 82 downward. The bottom of the movable member 82 has an "I"-shaped extension block 821. The extension block 821 and the fixed member 81 form two sets of limiting and engaging end faces, which are used to constrain the longitudinal movement of the movable member 82. The limiting and engaging end faces are a first inner end face 814 and a second inner end face 822, a first outer end face 815 and a second outer end face 823. The first inner end face 814 and the second inner end face 822 abut against each other to limit the downward movement of the movable member 82; the first outer end face 815 and the second outer end face 823 abut against each other to limit the upward movement of the movable member 82.

[0048] Further, the movable part 82 and the fixed part 81 are provided with a spring 83 between the first inner end face 814 and the second inner end face 822, the spring 83 can drive the movable part 82 to move upward relative to the fixed part 81, in combination with Figure 5 As shown, in the non-discharging state, the spring 83 drives the movable part 82 to rise, and in combination with the sealing part 9, a negative pressure cavity d is formed in the material cavity 31, so that the colorant c in the material cavity 31 is subjected to an upward adsorption force and will not fall off, thereby forming the material control structure.

[0049] The bottom of the sealing part 9 is fixed to the bottom of the extension block 821, and the top of the sealing part 9 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the bottom of the fixed part 81. Specifically, the bottom of the fixed part 81 is provided with an end head 811, the outer side wall of the end head 811 is provided with a sunken groove 812, the top of the sealing part 9 is provided with an inward turning edge 91, the inward turning edge 91 is sleeved and connected in the sunken groove 812, and the middle region of the sealing part 9 is a flexible section that is free to travel. When the movable part 82 moves up and down relative to the fixed part 81, the flexible section can correspondingly contract or expand longitudinally. In order to ensure the stability of the expansion and contraction and not to be interfered, the outer side end of the bottom of the fixed part 81 is provided with a conical frustum 813, and the inclined surface structure of the conical frustum 813 can play a corresponding guiding role.

[0050] Embodiment 4:

[0051] On the basis of embodiment 3, in combination with Figure 7 As shown, in order to improve the sealing effect, the outer surface of the conical frustum 813 is provided with a wrinkle 816, and specifically, the wrinkle 816 is a flange structure. When the flexible section of the sealing part 9 contracts, under the guidance of the conical frustum 813 and the influence of the wrinkle 816, the sealing part 9 of the flexible section will correspondingly wrinkle and expand outward, thereby increasing the contact area between the sealing part 9 and the inner side wall of the material cavity 31, improving the sealing effect, and also helping to maintain the stroke of the negative pressure cavity d.

[0052] Embodiment 5:

[0053] On the basis of embodiment 1, the barrel 3 adopts a pressure tank, and the bottom opening is provided with a squeeze valve. When the discharging driving part 6 drives the barrel 3 to be pressed downward, it automatically discharges by internal exhaust. This active discharging mode can greatly improve the discharging accuracy.

[0054] Embodiment 6:

[0056] A1: The user selects a color on the user terminal (mobile phone, tablet computer, computer or control panel provided on the color matching machine, etc.), for example, the user selects chestnut color according to preference.

[0057] A2: the control chip sends the selected color signal to the cloud platform, the cloud platform calculates the colorant c parameters according to the color signal (calculates the parameters such as the number of colorant c and the proportion of each colorant c), and returns the colorant c parameter related signal to the control chip.

[0058] A3: the control chip generates corresponding instructions (rotation driving part 4 operation cycle amplitude and frequency, etc.) according to the colorant c parameters, and sends the instructions to the rotation driving part 4, the discharge driving part 6 and the weighing module 71, so that they cooperate to carry out the selected material discharging operation, and obtain the configured dyeing agent.

[0059] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can still be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
