Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lip gloss production, and more specifically, to an automated production line for lip gloss production. Background Technology

[0002] Lip gloss is produced through a streamlined production line process. During this process, the base materials of the lip gloss are mixed. The existing mixing method is to directly put the base materials into the mixing tank, mix them, and then discharge them. This process is slow, and the material conveying after discharge also requires a lot of equipment. As a result, the process of discharging and conveying the material after the base materials are mixed takes a lot of time, which leads to a decrease in production speed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide an automated production line for lip gloss production. This line allows mixing tanks containing base materials to be directly placed on a conveyor for transport, and the base materials in the mixing tanks are stirred during the transport process, thereby reducing the time required for material discharge and increasing the production speed.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0005] An automated production line for producing lip gloss includes a conveyor and a mixing tank placed on and conveyed along the conveyor, multiple feeding devices for adding base material to the mixing tank, and a stirring device for mixing the mixing tank. The stirring device includes a cover for sealing against the mixing tank and a sealing part for sealing the connection between the cover and the mixing tank. A rotating shaft is formed in the middle of the cover, and the shaft is rotatable relative to the cover. Multiple stirring elements are mounted on the rotating shaft for stirring the base material. A support plate is formed at the bottom of the mixing tank. The plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank; a control device is formed at the bottom of the rotating shaft, which is used to drive the support plate to move up or down; a protrusion is formed on the stirring body, and a transmission component is provided at the rotating shaft and the stirring body, which is used to control the protrusion to extend outward or retract inward, so that the protrusion and the stirring body form a complete stirring blade or the protrusion is located inside the stirring body; the transmission component and the control device start and stop simultaneously, so that when the support plate moves up or down, the protrusion is located inside the stirring body, and when the support plate is stationary, the protrusion and the stirring body form a complete stirring blade.

[0006] The cover and mixing tank can be connected or separated, and the mixing tank is conveyed by the conveyor. Multiple mixing tanks can be placed for conveying, and the agitator is inserted into one mixing tank to mix. After mixing, the agitator is inserted into another mixing tank for mixing, thus achieving rapid feeding and rapid mixing without the need for a discharge process, greatly improving the overall production speed. The support plate can move up or down relative to the mixing tank, allowing the base material in the mixing tank to be displaced vertically, which helps to increase the mixing speed. In addition, since the agitators are arranged vertically and vertically, there will inevitably be some spaces in the middle that cannot contact the agitators. The mixing speed in these spaces is low. Moving the support plate up or down allows these spaces to contact the base material in different locations, meaning that the base material in each space will be mixed in this space. This allows for control of the overall mixing quality, avoiding the phenomenon that the base material in one place is mixed in a high-efficiency space while the base material in another place is mixed in a low-efficiency space. This avoids the phenomenon that the base material is mixed in different ways, thus helping to control the overall mixing quality. In addition, the mixing body is provided with a protrusion. When the protrusion extends, it forms a complete mixing blade; when the protrusion retracts, it forms only the mixing body. This allows the protrusion to retract during the upward or downward movement of the support plate, thus avoiding the phenomenon of applying a large axial force to the protrusion and causing damage during the upward or downward movement of the base material. This ensures that the base material moves up and down with the support plate normally, and also ensures that the area of ​​the mixing blade is large enough to enable the base material to have a high mixing speed.

[0007] Furthermore, the sealing part includes: a sealing sleeve, the top surface of which is made of a rigid material; the top surface of which is fixedly connected to the cover; the top surface of which is an annular structure; and an air pump provided on the cover, which is used to inject air into the sealing sleeve so that the sealing sleeve expands and abuts against the inner wall of the mixing barrel for sealing.

[0008] The lid is placed on the mixing drum, and after the lid is connected to the mixing drum, the sealing sleeve expands, which can block the connection between the lid and the mixing drum by the expanded sealing sleeve, thereby increasing the sealing effect between the lid and the mixing drum. When the base material in the mixing drum is stirred, the base material can be better prevented from leaking out.

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing sleeve is provided with multiple pressure valves, which are used to relieve pressure on the sealing sleeve; the pressure relief valve is located at the lower part of the sealing sleeve so that when the cover is sealed with the mixing tank, the pressure relief valve is located in the mixing tank.

[0010] When the pressure inside the sealing sleeve is sufficient, air will be blown out through the pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve can better ensure the safety of the sealing sleeve and prevent it from bursting due to excessive pressure. At the same time, the pressure relief valve blows air out into the mixing tank, allowing the air to come into contact with the base material in the mixing tank. This allows the base material to be agitated by the air during mixing, thus better ensuring the mixing speed of the base material.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating shaft includes: a rotating rod rotatably connected to the cover; a receiving chamber formed inside the rotating rod; multiple mounting portions formed on the edge of the rotating rod, the mounting portions being integrally formed with the rotating rod and having mounting chambers formed therein, the mounting chambers communicating with the receiving chambers; the mounting chambers being used to mount the stirring body; and a driving device provided on the cover, the driving device being connected to the rotating rod to make the rotating rod rotate.

[0012] The rotating rod drives the mounting part to rotate, and the mounting part is used to install the mixing body, so that the rotating rod can drive the mixing body to rotate.

[0013] Furthermore, the control device includes: a drive cylinder located at the cover, with a push rod at the output end of the drive cylinder, the drive cylinder being used to control the push rod to move up or down; the push rod being located in the receiving chamber; a transmission component located at the end of the push rod, the transmission component being a push plate in this embodiment, with a connecting component below the push plate, the push plate being connected to the support plate through the connecting component, so that the support plate moves up or down with the push plate.

[0014] The upward and downward movement of the support plate is driven by a drive cylinder located at the cover, which better ensures the simplicity of the mixing tank, meaning the manufacturing cost of the mixing tank is very low. This allows for the production of multiple mixing tanks, greatly reducing the overall production cost.

[0015] Furthermore, the stirring body includes: a mounting rod and a stirring rod, the stirring rod being fixedly connected to the mounting rod, and both the stirring rod and the mounting rod having cavities; the protrusion is located in the cavity and can slide relative to the inner wall of the cavity; the mounting rod is inserted into the mounting chamber and is sealed to the mounting part; the receiving chamber is filled with hydraulic oil, and the hydraulic oil is located in the receiving chamber, the mounting chamber, and the cavity; the downward movement of the push plate can increase the volume of the receiving chamber, thereby causing the protrusion to be received into the cavity by the hydraulic oil; the upward movement of the push plate can decrease the volume of the receiving chamber, thereby causing the protrusion to be pushed out by the hydraulic oil.

[0016] The protrusion is retracted or extended by moving the support plate up or down, which better ensures the safety of the protrusion, saves space, and also drives the protrusion.

[0017] Furthermore, the cover body includes: a cover plate and an annular plate, the annular plate being fixedly connected to the cover plate; the sealing sleeve abutting against the annular plate after expansion; a through groove being formed in the middle of the cover plate; the through groove being used to install the rotating rod.

[0018] Furthermore, after the base material is mixed, it is placed into a vacuum degassing machine for degassing and vacuuming. After degassing, it is filled to obtain the finished product; the degassing time is 20-30 minutes.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are:

[0020] I. This solution allows the mixing drum containing the base material to be placed directly on the conveyor for transport, and the base material in the mixing drum is stirred during the transport process, thereby reducing the time required for discharge and improving the production speed.

[0021] Second, the support plate can be moved up or down relative to the mixing tank, which allows the base material in the mixing tank to be replaced vertically, thereby increasing the mixing speed.

[0022] Third, by providing a protrusion at the other mixing body, the protrusion extends to form a complete mixing blade, and retracts to form only the mixing body. This allows the protrusion to retract during the upward or downward movement of the support plate, thus avoiding the phenomenon of applying a large axial force to the protrusion during the upward or downward movement of the base material, which could lead to damage to the protrusion. This ensures that the base material moves up and down with the support plate normally, and also ensures that the area of ​​the mixing blade is large enough to enable the base material to have a high mixing speed.

[0023] Fourth, by expanding the sealing sleeve, the connection between the cover and the mixing barrel can be blocked by the expanded sealing sleeve, thereby increasing the sealing effect between the cover and the mixing barrel.

[0024] 5. When the pressure inside the sealing sleeve is sufficient, air will be blown out through the pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve can better ensure the safety of the sealing sleeve and prevent it from bursting due to excessive pressure. At the same time, the pressure relief valve blows air out into the mixing tank, allowing the air to come into contact with the base material in the mixing tank. This allows the base material to be agitated by the air during mixing, thus better ensuring the mixing speed of the base material. Attached Figure Description

[0034] An automated production line for producing lip gloss includes a conveyor and a mixing tank 1 placed on and conveyed along the conveyor, multiple feeding devices for adding base material to the mixing tank 1, and a stirring device for mixing the mixing tank 1. The stirring device includes a cover 2 for sealing against the mixing tank 1 and a sealing part 3 for sealing the connection between the cover 2 and the mixing tank 1. A rotating shaft 4 is formed in the middle of the cover 2, and the rotating shaft 4 can rotate relative to the cover 2. An electric cylinder is provided above the cover 2, and the electric cylinder is used to drive the cover 2 to move up or down.

The transmission member 8 and the control device 7 start and stop simultaneously, so that when the support plate 6 moves up or down, the protrusion 9 is located inside the stirring body 5, and when the support plate 6 is stationary, the protrusion 9 and the stirring body 5 form a complete stirring blade.

[0035] Specifically, the sealing part 3 includes: a sealing sleeve 31, the top surface of which is made of a rigid material; the top surface of the sealing sleeve 31 is fixedly connected to the cover body 2; the top surface of the sealing sleeve 31 is an annular structure; the cover body 2 is provided with an air pump, which is used to inject air into the sealing sleeve 31 so that the sealing sleeve 31 expands and abuts against the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 to seal.

[0036] Specifically, the sealing sleeve 31 is provided with a plurality of pressure valves, which are used to relieve pressure on the sealing sleeve 31; when the pressure relief valve is located at the lower part of the sealing sleeve 31 so that the cover 2 is sealed with the mixing tank 1, the pressure relief valve is located in the mixing tank 1.

[0037] Specifically, the rotating shaft 4 includes: a rotating rod 41, which is rotatably connected to the cover 2; a receiving chamber is formed inside the rotating rod 41; multiple mounting portions 42 are formed on the edge of the rotating rod 41, each mounting portion 42 being a block structure, integrally formed with the rotating rod 41, and having a mounting chamber within it, which communicates with the receiving chamber; the mounting chamber is used to mount the stirring body 5; a driving device 43 is provided on the cover 2, which is connected to the rotating rod 41 to cause the rotating rod 41 to rotate. The driving device 43 includes: a bracket 44, which is fixedly mounted on the cover 21; a drive motor 45 is mounted on the bracket 44; the output end of the drive motor 45 is provided with a belt drive structure 46, which connects the output end of the drive motor 45 to the rotating rod 41, thereby driving the rotating rod 41 to rotate via the belt drive structure 46. The belt drive structure 46 adopts existing technology.

[0038] Specifically, the control device 7 includes: a drive cylinder 71 located at the cover 2, with a push rod 72 at its output end, used to control the push rod 72 to move up or down; the push rod 72 is located in the receiving chamber; a transmission component 8 is located at the end of the push rod 72, which in this embodiment is a push plate, with a connecting component 73 below the push plate, the push plate being connected to the support plate 6 via the connecting component 73, so that the support plate 6 moves up or down with the push plate. The connecting component 73 includes a limiting plate 74 and a limiting tube 75, the limiting tube 75 being fixedly connected to the support plate 6, the limiting plate 74 being connected to the push plate, and the limiting plate 74 being able to slide within the limiting tube 75.

[0039] Specifically, the stirring body 5 includes: a mounting rod 51 and a stirring rod 52, the stirring rod 52 being fixedly connected to the mounting rod 51, and both the stirring rod 52 and the mounting rod 51 having cavities; the protrusion 9 is located in the cavity and can slide relative to the inner wall of the cavity; the mounting rod 51 is inserted into the mounting chamber and is sealed to the mounting part 42; the receiving chamber is filled with hydraulic oil, and the hydraulic oil is located in the receiving chamber, the mounting chamber, and the cavity; the downward movement of the push plate can increase the volume of the receiving chamber, and then the hydraulic oil causes the protrusion 9 to be received into the cavity; the upward movement of the push plate can decrease the volume of the receiving chamber, and then the hydraulic oil causes the protrusion 9 to be pushed out.

[0040] Specifically, the cover 2 includes a cover plate 21 and an annular plate 22, the annular plate 22 being fixedly connected to the cover plate 21; the sealing sleeve 31 abuts against the annular plate 22 after expansion; a through groove is formed in the middle of the cover plate 21; the through groove is used to install the rotating rod 41.

[0041] Specifically, after the base material is mixed, it is placed into a vacuum degassing machine for degassing and vacuuming. After degassing, it is filled to obtain the finished product; the degassing time is 20-30 minutes.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 In other embodiments, the sealing sleeve 31 is divided into multiple sealing regions, and each sealing region is controlled by an air pump. This results in different degrees of expansion of the sealing sleeve 31 in each region.

[0043] The cover 2 and the mixing tank 1 can be connected or separated. The mixing tank 1 is conveyed by the conveyor, so multiple mixing tanks 1 can be placed for conveying. After the agitator is inserted into one mixing tank 1 and mixed, it is inserted into another mixing tank 1 for mixing. This allows for rapid feeding and mixing without the need for a discharge process, greatly improving the overall production speed. The support plate 6 can move up or down relative to the mixing tank 1, allowing the base material in the mixing tank 1 to be replaced vertically, which helps to increase the mixing speed. In addition, since the agitators 5 are arranged vertically and vertically, there will inevitably be some space in the middle that cannot contact the agitators 5. The mixing speed in this space is low. The upward or downward movement of the support plate 6 allows this space to contact the base material in different positions. That is, the base material in each position will be mixed in this space. This allows for control of the overall mixing quality, avoiding the phenomenon that the base material in one place is mixed in a high-efficiency space while the base material in another place is mixed in a low-efficiency space. This avoids the phenomenon that the base material is mixed in different ways, thus helping to control the overall mixing quality. In addition, the mixing body 5 is provided with a protrusion 9. When the protrusion 9 extends, it becomes a complete mixing blade. When the protrusion 9 retracts, it becomes only the mixing body 5. This allows the protrusion 9 to retract during the upward or downward movement of the support plate 6, thus avoiding the phenomenon of applying a large axial force to the protrusion 9 during the upward or downward movement of the base material, which could cause damage to the protrusion 9. This ensures that the base material can move upward and downward with the support plate 6 normally, and also ensures that the area of ​​the mixing blade is large enough to enable the base material to have a high mixing speed.

[0044] Workflow:

[0045] Multiple mixing drums 1 are placed on a conveyor and transported together with the conveyor. When the mixing drums 1 reach the feeding device, the conveyor stops transporting and the feeding device adds the base material into the mixing drums 1. After the feeding is completed, the conveyor continues to transport the mixing drums 1 with the added base material. Then, after the mixing drums 1 with the added base material are transported to the mixing device, the conveyor stops transporting the mixing drums 1. Then, the cover plate 21 moves down and covers the opening above the mixing drums 1. Then, the air pump injects air into the sealing sleeve 31, and the sealing sleeve 31 seals the connection between the cover plate 21 and the mixing drums 1. Then, the drive device 43 drives the rotating rod 41 to rotate, and the rotating rod 41 drives the mixing rod 52 and the protrusion 9 to rotate together, thereby realizing the mixing of the base material in the mixing drums 1.

[0046] Additionally, the drive cylinder 71 moves the support plate 6 up or down via the push plate and push rod 72. During the upward or downward movement of the support plate 6, the limiting plate 74 below the push plate moves up or down. The limiting plate 74 is actually located at the top of the limiting tube 75. Then, the push plate moves the limiting plate 74 down. After the limiting plate 74 moves down to the bottom of the limiting tube 75, it moves the limiting tube 75 down, which in turn moves the support plate 6 down. When the push plate moves the limiting plate 74 up, the limiting plate 74 moves up to the top of the limiting rod, which in turn moves the limiting tube 75 up, which in turn moves the support plate 6 up. This achieves delayed upward and delayed downward movement of the support plate 6. In other words, the push plate moves first, and then the support plate 6 moves. The push plate moves first, which causes a change in the pressure in the receiving chamber, causing the protrusion 9 to retract or extend. The protrusion 9 will only extend or retract when the support plate 6 stops moving, thus better protecting the safety of the protrusion 9.

[0047] In other work processes:

[0048] Because the sealing sleeve 31 is divided into multiple sealing areas, and each sealing area is controlled by an air pump, the expansion degrees of the multiple sealing areas can be different. This allows the cover plate 21 to be eccentrically positioned relative to the mixing tank 1, and the rotating rod 41 to be eccentrically positioned relative to the mixing tank 1. This enables the rotating rod 41 to stir at different positions inside the mixing tank 1, and also allows the mixing tank 1 to rotate during the stirring process. This further increases the stirring effect and efficiency.
