Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a raw material / container supply device for a personalized cosmetic manufacturing vending machine installed in the form of a vending machine at an airport, a terminal, a department store, a shopping center, etc. More particularly, the present application relates to a raw material / container supply device for a personalized cosmetic manufacturing vending machine, which can prevent impurities from being mixed into a container and comply with cosmetic manufacturing standards by supplying respective raw materials of cosmetics in a bag and supplying a cosmetic container having a container body and a cap fastened to each other. BACKGROUND

[0002] In general, cosmetics are mass-produced by cosmetic manufacturers and sold to consumers via beauty-related stores.

[0003] In addition, cosmetics can only be manufactured by those who have certain manufacturing and quality control facilities and obtain permission from authorities.

[0004] However, it can be said that it is virtually impossible for cosmetic manufacturers to manufacture cosmetics taking into account the preferences and skin characteristics of numerous consumers.

[0005] As a result, cosmetic manufacturers tend to manufacture cosmetics so that problems such as skin problems do not occur, which limits the ability to meet the various needs of consumers.

[0006] Therefore, consumers feel inconvenience when searching for and purchasing cosmetics suitable for their own skin.

[0007] Recently, in order to manage acne, wrinkles, scars, color spots, etc., functional cosmetics obtained by adding specific ingredients to cosmetics are manufactured and sold.

[0008] However, the above-mentioned functional cosmetics are difficult to meet the needs of all consumers having different skin characteristics.

[0009] To solve this problem, a personalized cosmetic manufacturing apparatus that allows consumers to directly manufacture cosmetics suitable for their skin characteristics has been proposed.

[0010] As an example, a "personalized cosmetic manufacturing apparatus" is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-2211803.

[0011] The above-mentioned conventional cosmetic manufacturing apparatus includes a robot arm, a container supply portion for supplying a cosmetic container, a nozzle portion for injecting a cosmetic raw material into the cosmetic container, a transfer portion for transferring the cosmetic container to the nozzle portion, a cap supply portion for supplying a cap of the cosmetic container, a stirring portion for stirring the cosmetic raw material in the cosmetic container, and a worktable having an upper plate and a space below the upper plate.

[0012] The container supply part, the nozzle part, the transfer part, the cap supply part, and the stirring part are disposed around the robot arm.

[0013] The cosmetic container is sequentially moved to the container supply part, the transfer part, and the stirring part by the robot arm.

[0014] According to the conventional cosmetic manufacturing apparatus described above, there is an advantage in that cosmetics suitable for the skin condition of a consumer can be manufactured.

[0015] However, the conventional cosmetic manufacturing apparatus has the following problems.

[0016] First, the respective cosmetic raw materials are stored in the raw material storage container and are supplied from the raw material storage container. Thus, when the raw material is depleted, the raw material must be filled into the raw material storage container one by one. In this process, impurities can be mixed or air oxidation can occur.

[0017] In addition, since the raw material storage container is disposed in the lower part of the housing, it is inconvenient to visually check the amount of the remaining raw material, and the remaining amount of the raw material must be periodically checked.

[0018] In addition, even when the operation of the raw material injection pump is stopped, the solution remaining in the raw material supply tube flows to the injection nozzle for a certain period of time.

[0019] Thus, when the cosmetic storage container is moved to the next injection nozzle after one type of cosmetic raw material is injected, the raw material solution remaining in the previous raw material supply tube and the injection nozzle is leaked, thereby contaminating the surrounding environment.

[0020] In order to prevent this problem, it is necessary to move the container to the next nozzle after the operation of the raw material injection pump is stopped and the raw material remaining in the injection nozzle is completely dropped. In this case, the cosmetic manufacturing time is prolonged.

[0021] In addition, since the cosmetic container and the cap are separately supplied into the housing, impurities can be mixed into the container.

[0022] Thus, it is difficult to comply with the cosmetic manufacturing standards prescribed in relevant laws and regulations, and there are difficulties in quality control. SUMMARY

[0080] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0081] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the personalized cosmetic manufacturing and sales machine (hereinafter referred to as "the manufacturing equipment") according to the present invention includes: a housing 100; a raw material supply unit 200 disposed inside the housing 100 and configured to supply liquid cosmetic raw materials (hereinafter referred to as "raw materials"); a container supply unit 300 configured to supply cosmetic containers; a raw material injection unit 600 configured to inject cosmetic raw materials into cosmetic containers; an articulated robot 400 configured to pick up cosmetic containers from the container supply unit 300 and place the cosmetic containers at a predetermined position; a stirrer 700 configured to stir the cosmetic raw materials injected into the cosmetic containers; and a cosmetic outlet 191 configured to discharge the manufactured cosmetics to the outside of the housing 100.

[0082] The housing 100 includes a unit 190, a raw material supply department 110, a container supply department 120, and a lower door 130.

[0083] In the housing 100, the raw material supply unit 200, the container supply unit 300, the raw material injection unit 600, and the agitator 700 are arranged around the articulated robot 400.

[0084] In addition, casters 180 are provided at the lower part of the housing 100, so that the manufacturing equipment can be easily moved to the desired position.

[0085] The upper surface of the raw material supply section 110 and the upper part of the container supply section 120 are composed of transparent windows.

[0086] Therefore, managers can visually monitor the internal workings of the equipment, and consumers can visually inspect the cosmetic manufacturing process.

[0087] On the front side of the present manufacturing apparatus, a touch screen 150 configured to allow a consumer to select a type of cosmetic, a raw material ingredient, a payment method, etc., a camera 160 configured to recognize the face of the consumer, a card reader 170, a receipt output part 171, and a cosmetic outlet 191 configured to discharge the manufactured cosmetic to the outside of the housing 100 are provided.

[0088] Further, in the space below the table 190, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 3 a control part 192 for controlling a receipt printer, a label printer, a bar code reader, a card calculator, and each part of the present manufacturing apparatus, a communication apparatus configured to communicate with a remote central control device, etc. are provided.

[0089] In the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 a plurality of present manufacturing apparatuses are connected to a remote central control device 900 via a communication network.

[0090] The communication network can be implemented as a wired / wireless communication network, such as a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a value-added network (VAN), a mobile communication network (mobile radio communication network), Wibro (wireless broadband Internet), mobile WiMAX, a satellite communication network, etc.

[0091] Further, the remote central control device 900 is configured to include a server S and a computer C which store data on ingredients and composition ratios of raw materials of cosmetics related to skin conditions.

[0092] The server S accumulates corresponding data each time a consumer uses the present manufacturing apparatus.

[0093] Further, the central control device 900 is connected to a portable terminal P of a manager who manages the present manufacturing apparatus.

[0094] The portable terminal P can be composed of a smart phone, a personal communication system (PCS), a global system for mobile communications (GSM), a personal digital cellular (PDC), a personal handyphone system (PHS), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wideband code division multiple access mobile communication system (W-CDMA), a wireless broadband Internet (Wibro) terminal, etc.

[0095] Accordingly, the remote central control device 900 can integrally manage each manufacturing apparatus at a remote location.

[0096] Further, when a raw material is short or a manufacturing apparatus malfunctions, an alarm signal can be immediately transmitted to each device manager, so that the manager can promptly respond.

[0097] For example, the central control device 900 can detect in real time which raw material is insufficient in each manufacturing device and transmit this information to the manager of the corresponding manufacturing device via the portable terminal P.

[0098] Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to Figures 5 to 8 A raw material supply part of the present manufacturing device will be described.

[0099] The raw material supply part 200 according to the present application serves to supply various cosmetic raw materials and includes a plurality of raw material bags 220 that contain liquid cosmetic raw materials, a plurality of hooks 280 configured to hold upper portions of the respective raw material bags 220, a plurality of residual amount checking weighing elements 210 disposed on the upper portions of the hooks 280 to detect residual amounts of raw materials in the respective raw material bags 220, a plurality of pumps configured to deliver the raw materials in the raw material bags 220 to a raw material injection part 600 through a raw material supply pipe, and a plurality of driving motors configured to drive the pumps.

[0100] The raw material bags 220 are plastic bags that contain raw materials and are provided as many as the number of raw materials to be used. In addition, the number of the residual amount checking weighing elements 210 and the hooks 280 is also provided as many as the number of raw materials to be used.

[0101] For example, when 40 kinds of raw materials are used, 40 raw material bags 220 are supplied in a form of being hung on the hooks 280 provided below the 40 residual amount checking weighing elements 210. This is an application of a method of injecting Ringer's solution to a patient in a hospital.

[0102] Each of the residual amount checking weighing elements 210 detects a decrease in weight of the raw material bag 220 due to use of the raw material and grasps a residual amount of the raw material remaining inside the raw material bag 220.

[0103] The control part 192 provided below the housing 100 informs the remote central control device 900 of a composition of the raw material bag 220 having an insufficient residual amount in real time.

[0104] Then, the central control device 900 informs the manager terminal P of the manufacturing device and the insufficient raw material.

[0105] Accordingly, the manager of the manufacturing device can quickly replace the insufficient raw material bag 220.

[0106] Since the upper portion of the raw material supply part 110 is formed of a transparent window, the manager of the manufacturing device can visually determine whether the raw material bag 220 is to be replaced.

[0107] In the present application, the raw material injection part 600 further includes a stagnation prevention device 230.

[0108] The dwell preventing device 230 is used to prevent the raw material from remaining in the raw material supply pipe and the injection nozzle 610 after the supply of the raw material is completed. As shown in FIG. 2, Figure 8 The dwell preventing device 230 includes a body portion 231, a bag connecting member 232 configured to connect the body portion 231 and the raw material bag 220, and an injection nozzle connecting member 233 configured to connect the body portion 231 and the injection nozzle 610.

[0109] Inside the body portion 231, a first flow path 231a connected to the bag connecting member 232, a second flow path 231b branched vertically from the first flow path 231a, a third flow path 231c branched vertically from the second flow path 231b, and a fourth flow path 231d configured to connect the first flow path 231a and the third flow path 231c to each other are formed.

[0110] The first ball 240, the first spring 250, and the first sealing member 231e are provided in the second flow path 231b.

[0111] The second ball 260, the second spring 270, and the second sealing member 231f are provided in the fourth flow path 231d.

[0112] In the dwell preventing device 230, when the raw material is supplied to the injection nozzle 610 by a pump (not shown), the raw material is supplied to the injection nozzle 610 while pushing the first ball 240.

[0113] That is, the raw material is supplied to the injection nozzle 610 through the bag connecting member 232, the second flow path 231b, the third flow path 231c, and the injection nozzle connecting member 233.

[0114] When the operation of the pump is stopped, the first ball 240 returns to its original position due to the elasticity of the first spring 250, so the raw material does not flow to the injection nozzle 610.

[0115] Accordingly, when the container moves to the next injection nozzle 610 after a type of raw material is injected into the container, it is possible to prevent the raw material remaining in the previous raw material supply pipe and injection nozzle 610 from leaking to contaminate the surrounding environment.

[0116] Next, a raw material injection portion according to the present application will be described.

[0117] As shown in FIG. 2, Figures 5 to 7As shown in the middle, the raw material injection part 600 according to the present application for injecting respective raw materials into the container 310 includes a plurality of injection nozzles 610 connected with the raw material bags 220 respectively via raw material supply pipes and configured to inject raw materials into the container 310, a container transfer member 630 provided below the injection nozzles 610 and configured to transfer empty containers 310, a liquid amount sensing load cell 620 provided above the container transfer member 630 and configured to detect the amount of raw materials injected into the container 310, and a container detection sensor configured to detect the container 310 seated on the container transfer member 630.

[0118] The injection nozzles 610 are connected with respective raw material bags 220 via raw material supply pipes, which are provided as many as the number of the raw material bags 220.

[0119] The control part 192 moves the empty container 310 below the selected injection nozzle 610 so that the selected raw material is injected into the empty container 310 in turn.

[0120] That is, when a plurality of raw materials are selected, the empty container 310 is moved one by one below the corresponding injection nozzles 610 to inject the selected raw materials into the container 310.

[0121] At this time, the liquid amount sensing load cell 620 ensures that the correct amount of raw materials is injected into the container 310.

[0122] Next, a container supply part according to the present application will be described with reference to Figures 9 to 12 FIG. 4.

[0123] The container supply part 300 according to the present application is configured to supply containers for use in containing cosmetics. The container supply part 300 includes a case loading part 330 configured to accommodate a plurality of cases 320 loaded with a plurality of containers 310, a case transfer device 340 configured to transfer the case 320 loaded with the containers 310 in a horizontal direction, a case discharge device 360 configured to push the empty case 320 from the case loading part 330 to one side, and a container erecting member 350 configured to erect the laid-down container 310 at the lower end of the case 320.

[0124] That is, in the present application, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the container 310 is laid down and loaded on the case 320, and then the case 320 is manually inserted into the case loading part 330.

[0125] In this way, it is possible to load a plurality of containers 310 on the case loading part 330 at a time.

[0126] The manufacturing apparatus also includes a plurality of sensors configured to check the horizontal movement of the magazine 320 and the lowered state of the container 310.

[0127] Accordingly, when all of the containers 310 are discharged from each magazine 320, the empty magazine 320 is automatically pushed aside, and the remaining magazine 320 is automatically moved one click to the side.

[0128] In the present invention, the container 310 is supplied in a state in which the cap 312 is fastened to the container body 311 without separating the cap 312. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from being mixed into the container 310.

[0129] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the manufacturing apparatus includes an articulated robot 400 installed at the center of the table 190 and configured to pick up the container 310 with a gripper 410 and transfer the container 310 to a predetermined position.

[0130] Since the articulated robot 400 itself is known in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0131] Hereinafter, a process of supplying a container from the container supply portion will be described with reference to Figures 10 to 12 .

[0132] In Figure 10 , each container 310 loaded onto the rightmost magazine 320 is allowed to fall down and is seated onto the container erecting member 350. The container erecting member 350 moves by a predetermined distance in the horizontal direction and then rotates by 90 degrees to erect the container 310 into an upright state.

[0133] Then, the gripper 410 of the articulated robot 400 picks up the container 310 and places it on the cap separating / fastening device.

[0134] When the gripper 410 of the articulated robot 400 picks up the container 310, the container erecting member 350 returns to its original position and repeats the same operation to bring the next container 310 into a standby state.

[0135] When all of the containers inside the magazine 320 located at the rightmost position in Figure 10 are discharged, the magazine discharge device 360 provided at the right side of the magazine loading portion 330 pushes the empty magazine 320 from the magazine loading portion 330 to the side.

[0136] Then, the magazine transfer device 340 provided at the left side of the magazine loading portion 330 moves the magazine 320 to the right by one click.

[0137] When all the empty cases 320 are discharged to the outside of the case loading part 330, a new container 310 is manually inserted into the case 320, and then the case 320 is inserted into the case loading part 330.

[0138] Next, a process of separating and fastening the cap from the container body by the articulated robot will be described with reference to Figure 1 , Figure 23 and Figure 24 .

[0139] As shown in Figure 1 , the cap separating / fastening apparatus according to the present application includes a cap separating / fastening part 510 configured to separate and fasten the cap 312 after the container 310 picked up by the gripper 410 of the articulated robot 400 is seated on the cap separating / fastening part 510, and a cap storage part 520 configured to temporarily store the cap 312 separated from the container body 311.

[0140] As shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24 , the cap separating / fastening part 510 includes a rotating arbor 550 configured to rotate the container body 311 in a forward direction and a reverse direction, a reducer 540 provided below the rotating arbor 550, and a driving motor 530 provided below the reducer 540.

[0141] Accordingly, by fixing the lower portion of the container to the upper portion of the rotating arbor 550 and then rotating the rotating arbor 550 in the forward direction and the reverse direction, it is possible to separate the cap 312 from the container body 311 and fasten the cap 312 to the container body 311.

[0142] In addition, the cap separating / fastening part 510 is provided with a plurality of sensors for detecting whether the container body 311 is rotated to separate the cap 312 and whether the separated cap 312 is seated in the cap storage part 520.

[0143] With the above structure, it is possible to continuously perform the operation of separating and fastening the cap 312 from the container body 311.

[0144] Now, a process of separating and fastening the cap from the container body by the articulated robot will be described with reference to Figures 13a to 13f .

[0145] First, as shown in Figure 13a , the gripper 410 of the articulated robot 400 picks up the container from the container supply part 300 and then seats the container on the cap separating / fastening part 510.

[0146] Then, when the reduction motor is driven to rotate the container body 311 counterclockwise, the cap 312 is separated from the container body 311.

[0147] Then, as shown inFigure 13b The gripper 410 of the articulated robot places the separated cap 312 in the cap storage portion 520 as shown in FIG. 6.

[0148] Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the gripper 410 of the articulated robot picks up the cap 312 in the cap storage portion 520 and places the cap on the container body 311 placed on the cap separation / fastening portion 510. Figure 13c

[0149] When the injection of the raw material into the container body 311 is completed, as shown in FIG. 8, the gripper 410 of the articulated robot places the container body 311 filled with the raw material again on the cap separation / fastening portion 510. Figure 13d

[0154] As shown in FIG. 11, the stirrer 700 according to the present application includes a main shaft 740, an annular external gear 741 formed with teeth on an inner circumferential surface thereof and assembled with the main shaft 740 at a lower portion of the main shaft 740, a motor 720 connected with the main shaft 740 via a belt 730 and configured to rotate the external gear 741, an internal gear 751 assembled on the inner circumferential surface of the external gear 741 to perform planetary motion, and a container fixing member 710 provided above the internal gear 751 such that the container 310 can be placed on the container fixing member in an inclined manner. Figures 14 to 16 Further, a lower portion of the container fixing member 710 is assembled with an auxiliary shaft 750 having the internal gear 751 formed at an upper portion thereof.

[0155] As shown in FIG. 11, the stirrer 700 according to the present application includes a main shaft 740, an annular external gear 741 formed with teeth on an inner circumferential surface thereof and assembled with the main shaft 740 at a lower portion of the main shaft 740, a motor 720 connected with the main shaft 740 via a belt 730 and configured to rotate the external gear 741, an internal gear 751 assembled on the inner circumferential surface of the external gear 741 to perform planetary motion, and a container fixing member 710 provided above the internal gear 751 such that the container 310 can be placed on the container fixing member in an inclined manner.

[0156] Figure 17 and Figure 18 ​​​​​As shown in the middle, the central axis of the main shaft 740 and the central axis of the auxiliary shaft 750 are out of alignment with each other. The outer gear 741 connected to the main shaft 740 and the inner gear 751 connected to the auxiliary shaft 750 are engaged with each other.

[0157] When the outer gear 741 is rotated by the above structure, the inner gear 751 engaged with the teeth on the inner circumferential surface of the outer gear rotates around its own axis and revolves around the main shaft 740.

[0158] Various raw materials having different viscosities can be thoroughly mixed by the rotation and revolution described above, and the mixing time can be shortened to within a few seconds.

[0159] In addition, since the container 310 itself is inclined, the mixing of the raw materials can be further improved by the action of centrifugal force.

[0160] On one side of the outer circumferential surface of the container fixing member 710, a clamping lever 760 for firmly fixing the container 310, a clamping cylinder 761 for attaching and detaching the container by operating the clamping lever 760, and a clamping spring 762 for applying an elastic force to the clamping lever 760 are provided.

[0161] In addition, a sensor for detecting the forward and backward movement of the clamping cylinder 761 is provided to ensure that the mixing is started when the clamping operation on the container 310 is completed, and the clamping is automatically released when the rotation of the mixer is stopped.

[0162] The container subjected to the mixing is picked up by the gripper 410 of the articulated robot and discharged to the outside of the housing 100 through the cosmetic outlet 191.

[0163] Now, a process of manufacturing and selling cosmetics according to the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 19 to 22 A sterilization part of an air conditioner according to the present application will be described.

[0164] The sterilization part of the air conditioner 800 according to the present application is installed on the upper portion of the housing 100 and includes a blower fan 810, an air conditioner 820, a plasma ion generator 830, a heater 840, an ozone filter 850, an internal observation camera, and an illumination device.

[0165] Since all of these components are well known in the art, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0166] By using the sterilization part of the air conditioner 800, the temperature inside the housing 100 can be kept constant, and the air inside the housing can be kept clean.

[0167] Next, a process of manufacturing and selling cosmetics according to the present application will be described.

[0168] After the consumer selects the desired cosmetic type, ingredients, etc., and completes the card payment or cash payment, the wireless skin measurer 140 located in front of the housing 100 is taken out and brought into contact with their skin.

[0169] Then, the skin measurer 140 measures the skin condition of the consumer and transmits the measurement information to the remote central control device 900.

[0170] In addition, the consumer can directly input information such as skin allergy, as well as his / her gender and age, by touching the menu on the touch screen 150.

[0171] The central control device 900 determines the raw material ingredients and mixing ratio suitable for the skin condition of the consumer by using the data accumulated in the server S and transmits this information to the control portion 192 of the manufacturing apparatus.

[0172] Then, the control portion 192 of the manufacturing apparatus operates the articulated robot 400 so that the gripper 410 picks up the container 310, separates the cap 312, and then places the container body 311 on the container transfer member 630 of the raw material injection portion 600.

[0173] Then, the container transfer member 630 on which the container 310 is placed moves under each injection nozzle 610 so that the selected raw material is injected into the container 310.

[0174] When the injection of the raw material is completed, the gripper 410 of the articulated robot picks up the container 310, places the cap 312 on the container 310, and then places the container 310 on the stirrer 700.

[0175] In the stirrer 700, the raw materials are completely stirred by a combination of rotation and revolution.

[0176] When the container 310 is discharged to the outside of the housing 100 by the gripper 410 of the articulated robot after the completion of the stirring of the raw materials, the manufacturing and sale of the cosmetic are completed.

[0177] Figure 25 FIG. 1 is a view showing a cosmetic manufacturing and selling machine according to the present application. Figure 26 FIG. 1 is a view showing a cosmetic manufacturing and selling machine according to the present application.

[0178] A conventional personalized cosmetic manufacturing and selling machine is of a type that supplies liquid cosmetic raw materials into a raw material container and fills a raw material container having insufficient raw materials with new raw materials. The cosmetic container is supplied into the housing in a state in which the container body and the cap are separated from each other.

[0179] As a result, in the process of filling the raw materials into the raw material container, impurities can be mixed and air oxidation can occur.

[0180] Further, when the cosmetic container is moved to the next injection nozzle after one type of cosmetic material is injected, the remaining material solution in the previous material supply tube and injection nozzle leaks, thereby contaminating the surrounding environment.

[0181] In the present invention, each cosmetic material is supplied in the form of a replaceable bag. Therefore, contamination of the container with foreign matter can be reliably prevented, and air oxidation that can occur during replenishment of the material can be prevented.

[0182] Further, in the present invention, a stagnation preventing device is provided in the material injection portion. Therefore, after injection of one type of material is completed and the container is moved to the next injection nozzle, leakage of the remaining material in the previous material supply tube and injection nozzle can be prevented from contaminating the surrounding environment.

[0183] Further, since each material bag is supplied in the form of being hung on each weighing element, the remaining amount of each material can be automatically grasped.

[0184] Further, since each manufacturing device is connected to the remote central control device via wireless communication, the remote central control device can check the remaining amount of each material in real time.

[0185] Further, since the central control device and the manager terminal of each manufacturing device are connected via wireless communication, the manager can be informed in real time whether there is a shortage of material and whether an abnormal situation has occurred in each manufacturing device.

[0186] This allows the manager of each manufacturing device to be able to quickly replenish the material and promptly perform maintenance.

[0187] Further, the container is supplied in a state in which the container body and the cap are coupled to each other, and the cap is opened only when the material is injected. Therefore, contamination with foreign matter can be reliably prevented.

[0188] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention as defined in the claims.
