Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of demolding and filling equipment, specifically relating to a multi-mode lipstick filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] A lipstick filling machine is a device used to fill lipstick products into packaging containers. Common lipstick filling machines come in two types: fully automatic and semi-automatic. Fully automatic filling machines typically need to be used in conjunction with a production line, enabling automated filling, sealing, labeling, and boxing operations, and are suitable for large-scale production. Semi-automatic filling machines, on the other hand, are relatively simpler, requiring manual operation for filling, and are suitable for small-scale production or as an auxiliary tool for individual manual production.

[0003] The working principle of a lipstick filling machine is mainly to inject lipstick products into packaging containers using a pump or compressed air. During the filling process, the machine automatically controls the process according to the set filling volume and the size of the packaging container, ensuring accuracy and stability. Additionally, some filling machines are equipped with sealing and leak-proof devices to ensure that the filled product does not leak or spill.

[0004] Chinese patent application publication number CN111789368A discloses a lipstick demolding and filling machine, which includes a machine base, a mold mounted on the machine base, and lifting and pressing structures for lifting and pressing the mold. The mold includes an upper mold and a lower mold, each with multiple sets of demolding holes and receiving grooves positioned opposite each other. The bottom of the upper mold has a first inclined surface with the same angle as the top of the lipstick tube. The bottom wall of the receiving groove is inclined to form a second inclined surface, which is parallel to the first inclined surface. The bottom of the lower mold has multiple air inlets. This device uses a single model of lipstick filling machine. When adjusting the lipstick model, different equipment needs to be used. However, since small-batch trial materials are required during lipstick development, directly developing different models of lipstick filling machines would significantly increase development costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a multi-mode lipstick filling machine, which solves the problems of existing multi-mode lipstick filling machines.

[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A multi-mode lipstick filling machine includes a feeding mechanism, a transfer mechanism, a carrying mechanism, a filling mechanism, and a discharging mechanism.

[0008] The feeding mechanism is used to carry the empty sleeve component;

[0009] The transfer mechanism is used to transfer the empty sleeve to the bearing mechanism, and at the same time transfer the empty sleeve that is filled and formed on the bearing mechanism to the feeding mechanism.

[0010] The bearing mechanism includes a bearing panel and a carrier component. A bearing hole is provided on the bearing panel, and a carrier component is mounted on the bearing hole.

[0011] The filling mechanism is located above the bearing mechanism. It quantitatively fills the liquid material into the carrier component through the filling mechanism, and at the same time, the cooling mechanism located below the bearing mechanism cools and solidifies the liquid material in the carrier component.

[0012] The discharge mechanism is located below the transfer mechanism. It lifts the molded lipstick mold that is supported and solidified inside the carrier by the discharge component, so that the molded lipstick mold is separated from the carrier on the outer periphery and is transferred out again by the transfer mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism is configured as a turntable structure, and a platform is equally spaced on the outer periphery of the feeding mechanism, and an empty sleeve or an assembled sleeve is supported on the platform.

[0014] Furthermore, a transition component is provided on the side where the bearing panel is located. The transition component includes a cover and a lifting component. The cover covers the opening on the carrier component through the lifting component. At the same time, the middle part of the cover is provided with a through-hole structure, so that when the cover covers the opening on the carrier component, the filling and injection are carried out to form a material column higher than the opening on the carrier component.

[0015] The opening and closing of the cover on the carrier component is achieved by using a lifting assembly.

[0016] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided on the side where the lifting assembly is located, and a head adjusting rod is provided vertically on the inner side of the lifting assembly. A limiting block is provided on the side where the adjusting rod is located. The bottom of the limiting groove is a vertical groove, and the upper part is distributed in a spiral structure along the outer wall of the lifting assembly, so that the limiting block is embedded in the limiting groove. As the adjusting rod rises and falls, the limiting block deflects with the opening direction of the limiting groove, thereby synchronously driving the deflection movement of the upper cover, so that the cover covers and separates from the projection surface of the opening on the carrier component.

[0017] Furthermore, a reset spring is sleeved on the outer wall where the adjusting rod is located, so that the bottom of the adjusting rod extends downward. Through the lifting action of the adjusting rod, the adjusting rod is lifted in the vertical direction and deflected in the horizontal direction at the same time. After the lifting is completed, the adjusting rod is reset under the reset action of the reset spring, and a cover is formed on the opening of the carrier component again.

[0018] Furthermore, the vehicle components are made of silicone or metal.

[0019] Furthermore, a dust removal component and an oil spraying component are provided on the bearing mechanism, so that before the filling mechanism performs filling, the dust removal component cleans the inner cavity of the carrier component, and then the component is transferred to the oil spraying component station to spray oil on the inner wall of the unloaded carrier component.

[0020] Furthermore, the supporting mechanism presents a disc-shaped structure or multiple fan-shaped structures, and each group of fan-shaped structures is located in a rotating motion around the center axis, while each mechanism is fixedly set at the side position of the supporting mechanism.

[0021] Furthermore, the discharge mechanism includes a lifting cylinder and a negative pressure adsorption component. The lifting cylinder lifts the negative pressure adsorption component so that it comes into contact with the carrier. At the same time, the negative pressure adsorption component applies negative pressure adsorption to the outer wall of the carrier, thereby separating the carrier from the lipstick mold formed by the inner wall.

[0022] Furthermore, the discharge mechanism is equipped with a rotating component, which simultaneously enables the carrier component to be demolded from the outer shell and the molded lipstick mold inside after the negative pressure adsorption component applies negative pressure adsorption to the carrier component.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0024] 1. The bearing mechanism of this device is equipped with a transition component. The transition component allows for the direct addition of the material column to the carrier without altering the original equipment, thereby increasing the material column height during filling and adapting to the filling operations of different models and batches of lipstick.

[0025] 2. The discharge mechanism used in this device can first apply negative pressure to the loaded carrier when discharging lipsticks made of full or semi-silicone materials. Then, the rotating component is used to rotate the lipstick mold, thereby separating the molded lipstick mold from the external carrier. The operation is convenient.

[0026] 3. The transfer mechanism used in this device can simultaneously perform feeding operations and transfer the empty sleeve parts after feeding, ensuring the integrity of the entire process. Furthermore, the empty carrier parts at the transfer outlet are transferred out again, making the operation more convenient. It can be widely used in the filling process during trial production.

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a multi-mode lipstick filling machine, including a feeding mechanism 1, a transfer mechanism 2, a carrying mechanism 3, a filling mechanism 4, and a discharging mechanism 5. The transfer mechanism 2, the carrying mechanism 3, the filling mechanism 4, and the discharging mechanism 5 are covered by a cover, and the feeding mechanism 1 is located on the outside, which can realize the connection of the formed outer cover and ensure the stability of the entire working environment.

[0040] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the feeding mechanism 1 is used to carry the empty sleeve part 11. The feeding mechanism 1 is a turntable structure, and a platform 101 is equally spaced on the outer periphery of the feeding mechanism 1. The empty sleeve part 11 or the assembled sleeve part is carried on the platform 101. That is, by rotating the feeding mechanism 1, the empty sleeve part 11 is transferred to the transfer mechanism 2 for fitting the lipstick mold. Subsequently, the assembled sleeve part containing the lipstick mold is transferred back to the platform 101 of the feeding mechanism 1 for transfer. This tooling achieves the effect of two functions in one station.

[0041] The transfer mechanism 2 is used to transfer the empty sleeve part 11 to the bearing mechanism 3, and at the same time transfer the empty sleeve part 11 that is filled and formed on the bearing mechanism 3 to the feeding mechanism 1. That is, one tooling realizes two functions.

[0042] The carrying mechanism 3 includes a carrying panel 31 and a carrier component 32. A carrying hole 311 is provided on the carrying panel 31, and the carrier component 32 is mounted on the carrying hole 311. The carrying mechanism 3 has a disc-shaped structure or multiple fan-shaped structures (of course, as needed, the area where the fan-shaped structure is located can carry lipsticks that are not processed by model for filling, thus achieving the effect of one machine for multiple uses). Each group of fan-shaped structures can rotate around the center axis. At the same time, each mechanism (including the filling mechanism 4 and the discharging mechanism 5) is fixedly set on the side of the carrying mechanism 3. Through the rotation of the carrying mechanism 3, the carrier component 32 is transferred to each workstation for operation.

[0043] The vehicle component 32 is made of silicone or metal.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, when filling a lipstick made entirely of silicone, the first step is to use the side cleaning component 41, which is typically inserted through a straight rod, to clean the inner wall of the carrier component 32. Then, the lipstick is transferred to the side of the filling mechanism 4, where the filling is performed (the filling mechanism 4 is located above the carrier mechanism 3, and a quantitative amount of liquid is poured into the carrier component 32 through the filling mechanism 4). After filling, the liquid filling liquid is cooled and solidified by the cooling mechanism at the bottom of the carrier component 32.

[0045] It is then transferred to the area below the discharge mechanism 5, which is also located below the transfer mechanism 2. This allows the two mechanisms to operate simultaneously, improving operational efficiency.

[0046] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the discharge mechanism 5 includes a lifting cylinder 51 and a negative pressure adsorption component 52. The lifting cylinder 51 lifts the negative pressure adsorption component 52, causing it to contact the carrier 32. Simultaneously, the negative pressure adsorption component 52 adsorbs the outer wall of the carrier 32 under negative pressure. (Since the carrier 32 is made of silicone, and the interior of the carrier 32 is a solidified lipstick mold, when the negative pressure adsorption component 52 adsorbs the outer wall, the lipstick mold will detach from the inner wall of the carrier 32.) To further improve the demolding efficiency, the discharge mechanism 5 is equipped with a rotating component 53. When the negative pressure adsorption component 52 performs negative pressure adsorption on the carrier 32, the upper part of the lipstick mold is directly fixed to the empty sleeve 11. The rotating component 53 enables the outer shell of the carrier 32 to be demolded from the lipstick mold inside. Then, the transfer mechanism 2 is used to transfer the formed lipstick mold and the empty sleeve 11 together, while the empty carrier 32 continues to the next station.

[0047] like Figure 6-8 As shown, when filling a semi-silicone lipstick, when the stage is located in the carrier part 32, an extra section of the lipstick material column will protrude from the top. Therefore, the conventional method is to replace the carrier part 32. Although this method is effective, it will increase the mold cost, and the other components and mechanisms that are adapted to it will also need to be adjusted simultaneously.

[0048] In this invention, the carrier component 32 of the same model as the full silicone is used, except that the transition component 33 is located on the side where the bearing panel 31 is located.

[0049] First, the dust removal component 41 set on the side is generally inserted through a straight rod, thereby forming a dust removal operation on the inner wall of the carrier 32. Then, it is transferred to the side position where the filling mechanism 4 is located, and the filling operation is carried out by the filling mechanism 4. After the filling is completed, the liquid filling liquid is cooled and solidified by the cooling mechanism at the bottom of the carrier 32.

[0050] The transition component 33 includes a cover 331 and a lifting component 332. The cover 331 covers the opening on the carrier component 32 through the lifting component 332. At the same time, the middle part of the cover 331 is set with a through-hole structure (this through-hole structure is used to keep the upper surface flush with the upper surface of the transition component 33 during filling, which will result in an extra column of material on the carrier component 32 when filling the carrier component 32 made of all silicone material). The lifting component 332 enables the cover 331 to open and close the opening on the carrier component 32.

[0051] A limiting groove 3321 is provided on the side where the lifting component 332 is located. At the same time, a head adjusting rod 3322 is provided vertically on the inner side of the lifting component 332, and a limiting block 3323 is provided on the side where the adjusting rod 3322 is located. The bottom of the limiting groove 3321 is a vertical groove, and the upper part is distributed in a spiral structure along the outer wall of the lifting component 332, so that the limiting block 3323 is embedded in the limiting groove 3321. As the adjusting rod 3322 rises and falls, the limiting block 3323 deflects with the opening direction of the limiting groove 3321, thereby synchronously driving the deflection movement of the upper cover 331, so that the cover 331 covers and separates from the projection surface of the opening on the carrier component 32.

[0052] To reset the adjusting rod 3322, a reset spring 3324 is sleeved on the outer wall where the adjusting rod 3322 is located, and the bottom of the adjusting rod 3322 extends downward. By lifting the adjusting rod 3322 (i.e., by setting an ejection mechanism below the adjusting rod 3322), the adjusting rod 3322 is lifted vertically and deflected horizontally. After the lifting is completed, the adjusting rod 3322 is reset under the reset action of the reset spring 3324, and re-forms a cover over the opening on the carrier component 32.

[0053] Therefore, in actual use, the cover 331 forms a cover over the opening on the carrier 32, and does not affect the use of the dust removal component 41 and the filling mechanism 4. After filling is completed, before the material discharge mechanism 5 ejects, the cover 331 is lifted by the adjusting rod 3322 to remove itself from the opening on the carrier 32, and at this time, a section of formed material column appears at the opening position on the carrier 32.

[0054] For the metal carrier component 32, the present invention employs a method where, after the dust removal component 41 has completed the dust removal, the inner wall of the metal carrier component 32 is sprayed with oil by the oil spraying component 42. Finally, this oil spraying mechanism ensures that the inner wall of the carrier component 32 is not completely fitted with the formed lipstick mold.

[0055] The other steps are the same as described above. In the unloading step, the rotating component 53 on the unloading mechanism 5 is used directly to completely separate the rotating component 53 from the lipstick mold supported by the inner wall through rotation.

[0056] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
