[0002] In the field of cosmetics manufacturing, especially in the application of lipstick machines, the delivery and dripping control of colorants are important links in the manufacturing process. However, in practical applications, especially for the delivery of colorants for cosmetics such as lipstick, it is difficult for colorant drops to smoothly detach from the colorant outlet because the colorants usually have high viscosity and adhesion to the structure. This adhesion may come from the physical properties of the colorant itself, such as viscosity and surface tension, or it may be related to the material and surface treatment of the inner wall of the colorant tube.

[0003] When the color droplets cannot be separated smoothly due to viscosity and adhesion, the color droplets will accumulate at the color outlet and even clog the color tube. In addition, the color droplets cannot be separated in time and enter the mixing state, and subsequent mixing cannot be achieved. Summary of the invention

[0006] A lipstick machine comprises the colorant delivery system described in any embodiment of the present application.

[0007] In the embodiment of the present application, the pigment tube 1 contains pigment through the pigment pushing structure 2 and the pigment droplet cutting structure 3, and the pigment pushing structure 2 is connected to the pigment tube 1 so that the pigment contained in the pigment tube 1 is pushed to the pigment outlet of the pigment tube 1 to form pigment droplets through the action of the pigment pushing structure 2; the pigment droplet cutting structure 3 is assembled at a position aligned with the pigment droplet to cut the pigment droplet so that the pigment droplet is separated from the pigment outlet and enters the raw material mixing chamber pre-filled with the base material, thereby achieving the coordination based on the pigment pushing structure 2 and the pigment droplet cutting structure 3, on the one hand, ensuring that the pigment can be pushed to the pigment outlet evenly and stably to form pigment droplets, and then, the pigment droplet is cut by the pigment droplet cutting structure 3 so that the pigment droplet can smoothly separate from the pigment outlet and enter the raw material mixing chamber pre-filled with the base material for mixing.

[0033] See also Figure 1A-Figure 4B As shown, a colorant delivery system comprises: at least one colorant tube 1, a colorant pushing structure 2, and a colorant droplet cutting structure 3, wherein the colorant tube 1 contains colorant, and the colorant pushing structure 2 is connected to the colorant tube 1 so that the colorant contained in the colorant tube 1 is pushed to the colorant outlet of the colorant tube 1 through the action of the colorant pushing structure 2 to form colorant droplets; the colorant droplet cutting structure 3 is assembled at a position aligned with the colorant droplet to cut the colorant droplet so that the colorant droplet is separated from the colorant outlet and enters a raw material mixing chamber pre-filled with a base material.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the pigment tube 1 contains pigment through the pigment pushing structure 2 and the pigment droplet cutting structure 3, and the pigment pushing structure 2 is connected to the pigment tube 1 so that the pigment contained in the pigment tube 1 is pushed to the pigment outlet of the pigment tube 1 to form pigment droplets through the action of the pigment pushing structure 2; the pigment droplet cutting structure 3 is assembled at a position aligned with the pigment droplet to cut the pigment droplet so that the pigment droplet is separated from the pigment outlet and enters the raw material mixing chamber pre-filled with the base material. , thereby achieving the coordination based on the pigment pushing structure 2 and the pigment droplet cutting structure 3, on the one hand, it is ensured that the pigment can be pushed to the pigment outlet evenly and stably to form pigment droplets, and then, the pigment droplet cutting structure 3 uses airflow to cut the pigment droplets so that the pigment droplets can smoothly separate from the pigment outlet and enter the raw material mixing chamber pre-filled with the base material for mixing.

[0035] Since the base material is pre-loaded into the raw material mixing chamber, and the colorant is loaded into the raw material mixing chamber later, the node separation of the base material and the colorant entering the raw material mixing chamber is achieved, so that the base material can be flexibly selected and the colorant can be flexibly configured according to the needs of the scene, thereby improving the color gamut of the mixed color paste and enriching the texture. In addition, since the colorant is loaded into the original mixing chamber independently of the base material, there is only the colorant in the colorant tube, and its concentration can be independently adjusted. Therefore, only the base material is pre-loaded in the raw material mixing chamber, and its concentration can also be independently adjusted. Therefore, the difficulty of selecting and mixing the base material and the colorant is increased. When mixing, since the base material is pre-loaded in the raw material mixing chamber, it is only necessary to load the colorant in the colorant tube into the raw material mixing chamber, which also reduces the difficulty of mixing.

[0036] Optionally, the pigment droplet cutting structure 3 includes: an airflow channel and an airflow control switch 32, wherein the airflow channel is connected to the bottom of the pigment tube, the airflow channel is used to receive the airflow input from an external airflow source, and the airflow control switch 32 turns the airflow channel 31 "on" or "off" to control the airflow input from the external airflow source to enter the pigment tube through the airflow channel 31 and form an airflow generated toward the pigment droplet.

[0037] Optionally, the airflow channel includes: an airflow input channel 31 and an airflow output channel 33, the airflow input channel 31 is used to receive the airflow input from an external airflow source, and the airflow control switch 32 turns the connection between the airflow input channel 31 and the airflow output channel 33 "on" or "off" to control the airflow input from the external airflow source to be input from the airflow input channel 31 to the airflow output channel 33 to form an airflow generated toward the color droplets.

[0038] To this end, in the color material delivery system, introducing the color material droplet cutting structure 3 having the airflow input channel 31, the airflow control switch 32 and the airflow output channel 33 has the following technical advantages:

[0039] (1) Through the airflow control switch 32, it is possible to accurately determine whether the airflow input from the external airflow source flows into the airflow output channel 33, thereby achieving precise control of the cutting of the color droplets. This precise control is crucial to ensure the smooth separation of the color droplets and maintain the stability of the manufacturing process.

[0040] (2) The airflow control switch 32 allows the user to adjust the intensity and duration of the airflow according to actual needs. For colorants with different viscosities and adhesions, the best cutting effect can be found by adjusting the airflow parameters, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality. For example, based on manual or electric adjustment.

[0041] Optionally, the airflow control switch 32 is disposed between the airflow input channel 31 and the airflow output channel 33 to “open” or “close” the connection between the airflow input channel 31 and the airflow output channel 33 .

[0042] Optionally, the airflow control switch 32 includes a valve core and a magnet, and an electromagnetic force is generated when the electromagnet is energized. The electromagnetic force generates an attractive force on the valve core so that the connection between the airflow input channel 31 and the airflow output channel 33 is in an "open" state; when the electromagnet is stopped from being energized, the electromagnetic force disappears and the valve core is reset, and the resetting of the valve core causes the connection between the airflow input channel 31 and the airflow output channel 33 to be in a "closed" state.

[0043] Optionally, the airflow control switch 32 also includes a sealed cavity, in which the valve core is arranged, and the electromagnets are arranged on both sides of the cavity to generate electromagnetic force when the electromagnets are energized, and the electromagnetic force generates an attractive force on the valve core so that the connection between the airflow input channel 31 and the airflow output channel 33 is in an "open" state.

[0044] To this end, the airflow control switch 32 is designed to include a closed cavity, a valve core, and an electromagnet disposed on both sides, which has the following technical advantages:

[0045] (1) By energizing and de-energizing the electromagnet, the movement of the valve core can be quickly controlled, thereby realizing a rapid switch between the airflow input channel 31 and the airflow output channel 33. This design enables the system to control the airflow very accurately, and can quickly open or close the airflow channel as needed.

[0046] (2) The mechanical structure composed of the electromagnet and the valve core is simple and reliable, and due to the characteristics of the electromagnetic force, the action of the valve core is stable and has good repeatability. This design enables the airflow control switch 32 to maintain high reliability during long-term use.

[0047] (3) When airflow is not needed, the airflow channel can be closed by simply stopping the power supply to the electromagnet, thereby saving energy. In addition, the energy consumption of the electromagnet itself is relatively low, which helps to reduce the energy consumption of the entire system.

[0048] (4) Due to the relatively simple structure, the airflow control switch 32 is relatively easy to maintain and replace. When a problem occurs, it can be quickly located and solved, reducing the time of production interruption.

[0049] Optionally, if there are multiple pigment tubes 1, the multiple pigment tubes 1 are divided into several groups, and for each group of pigment tubes, one pigment tube 1 corresponds to one pigment droplet cutting structure 3, and the multiple pigment droplet cutting structures 3 corresponding to each group of pigment tubes share the same airflow input channel 31, and different pigment tubes 1 correspond to independent airflow output channels 33 and independent airflow control switches 32, so that the corresponding pigment droplet cutting structure 3 can be controlled to be "on" or "off" based on one airflow control switch 32.

[0050] Therefore, if there are multiple colorant tubes 1 and these colorant tubes 1 are divided into several groups, each group of colorant tubes is equipped with an independent airflow control switch 32 and an independent airflow output channel 33, but share the same airflow input channel 31, which has the following technical advantages:

[0051] (1) Multiple colorant tubes 1 share the same airflow input channel 31, which can simplify the system's pipeline design and reduce the number of required airflow sources, thereby reducing the overall complexity and cost of the system.

[0052] (2) The grouping design makes each group of colorant tubes and their corresponding colorant droplet cutting structures 3 a relatively independent unit. Such a design facilitates group management and maintenance, and improves work efficiency.

[0053] (3) Each colorant tube 1 corresponds to an independent airflow control switch 32 and airflow output channel 33, so that the system can individually control the colorant drop cutting operation of each colorant tube 1. This flexible control method can meet the different requirements that may exist when cutting different colorant tubes 1.

[0054] (4) By independently controlling the color droplet cutting operation of each colorant tube 1, the system can ensure that the color droplet of each colorant tube 1 can be cut off at the most appropriate time, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0055] Optionally, a plurality of the color droplet cutting structures 3 are fixed side by side on a bracket in a manner of being aligned with the color outlets of the corresponding color tubes 1 .

[0056] Optionally, the colorant delivery system also includes: a transition connection channel 34, one end of which is connected to the colorant outlet, and the other end is connected to the colorant droplet cutting structure 3, so as to transport the airflow generated toward the colorant droplet to the colorant outlet and cut the colorant droplet.

[0057] To this end, the introduction of the transition connection channel 34 in the colorant delivery system as a bridge connecting the colorant outlet and the colorant droplet cutting structure 3 has the following technical benefits:

[0058] The transition connection channel 34 can ensure that the airflow generated by the color droplet cutting structure 3 is accurately guided to the color material outlet, so as to effectively cut the color droplet to be formed.

[0059] Through the design of the transition connection channel 34, the airflow can reach the color material outlet more directly and quickly, thereby improving the cutting efficiency, helping to reduce the waste of color material drops, and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0060] Due to the precise guiding effect of the transition connection channel 34, the system can more effectively utilize the airflow energy, reduce unnecessary energy loss, help reduce the energy consumption of the system, and improve energy utilization efficiency.

[0061] The introduction of the transition connection channel 34 makes the structure of the colorant delivery system more compact and simplified, which not only facilitates the installation and maintenance of the system, but also helps to improve the stability and reliability of the system.

[0062] The design of the transition connection channel 34 can be adjusted and optimized according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different colorant outlets and colorant droplet cutting structures 3, so that the system has stronger adaptability and flexibility and can adapt to a wider range of application scenarios.

[0063] Optionally, the colorant delivery system further includes: a colorant injection seat 35, the colorant injection seat 35 is arranged below the colorant tube 1 and is connected to the colorant outlet, the transition connection channel 34 is connected to the colorant injection seat 35 so that one end thereof is connected to the colorant outlet, and the colorant droplets break away from the colorant outlet and pass through the colorant injection seat 35 into the raw material mixing chamber pre-filled with the base material.

[0064] To this end, introducing the colorant injection seat 35 into the colorant delivery system and connecting it with the transition connection channel 34 and the colorant outlet has technical advantages:

[0065] The color material injection seat 35 provides an optimized transmission path to ensure that the color material droplets can smoothly and accurately enter the raw material mixing chamber after leaving the color material outlet. This design reduces the risk of color material droplets being lost and contaminated during the transmission process.

[0066] The structural design of the colorant injection seat 35 can further enhance the guiding property of the colorant droplets, ensuring that the colorant droplets can enter the raw material mixing chamber according to a predetermined trajectory. This is particularly important for application scenarios that require precise control of the position and distribution of the colorant droplets.

[0067] Enhance the spraying effect of the color droplets: Providing airflow to the color droplet spray seat 35 through the transition connection channel 34 can generate a certain spraying force to help the color droplets better escape from the color outlet and enter the raw material mixing chamber. This spraying effect helps to improve the mixing effect of the color droplets and the product quality.

[0068] The introduction of the color material injection seat 35 makes the structure of the color material delivery system more compact and simplified, which not only facilitates the installation and maintenance of the system, but also helps to improve the stability and reliability of the system.

[0069] The optimized color droplet transmission path and injection effect can improve the production efficiency of the system. The color droplets can enter the raw material mixing chamber more quickly and accurately, thus reducing waiting time and resource waste in the production process.

[0070] The colorant jetting seat 35 can be designed and adjusted according to different application requirements. For example, its shape, size or position can be adjusted to meet the requirements of different colorant outlets and raw material mixing chambers. This flexibility enables the system to adapt to a wider range of application scenarios.

[0071] Optionally, if there are multiple colorant tubes 1 , each colorant tube 1 corresponds to a colorant injection seat 35 , and multiple colorant injection seats 35 are connected to form a colorant injection seat integrated structure, and the colorant injection seat integrated structure is located below the multiple colorant tubes 1 .

[0072] Optionally, the colorant tube 1 comprises: an upper tube body 11 , an intermediate tube body 12 , and a lower tube body 13 , wherein the upper tube body 11 is connected to the intermediate tube body 12 , and the intermediate tube body 12 is connected to the lower tube body 13 to form a cavity for accommodating the colorant 14 .

[0073] Optionally, the outer wall of the upper tube body 11 is connected to a driving device 16 through a transmission mechanism 15, and a screw rod 11 is provided in the upper tube body 11, and a pressure plate 112 is engaged on the screw rod 11, so that when the driving device 16 drives the upper tube body 11 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 15, the upper tube body 11 drives the screw rod 11 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw rod 11 drives the pressure plate 112 to press downward to push the colorant 14 in the cavity toward the lower tube body 13 until the colorant 14 that can flow out of the lower tube body 13 is formed.

[0074] like Figure 5A-Figure 10B As shown, the colorant tube may include: an upper tube body 11, an intermediate tube body 12, and a lower tube body 13, wherein the upper tube body 11 is connected to the intermediate tube body 12, and the intermediate tube body 12 is connected to the lower tube body 13 to form a cavity for accommodating the colorant 14; wherein the outer wall of the upper tube body 11 is connected to a driving device 16 through a transmission mechanism 15, and a screw rod 111 is provided in the upper tube body 11, and a pressure plate 112 is engaged on the screw rod 111, so that when the driving device 16 drives the upper tube body 11 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 15, the upper tube body 11 drives the screw rod 111 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw rod 111 drives the pressure plate 112 to press down, so as to push the colorant 14 in the cavity toward the lower tube body 13 until the colorant 14 that can flow out of the lower tube body 13 is formed.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the meshing design of the screw rod 11 and the pressure plate 112 enables the screw rod 11 to rotate and drive the pressure plate 112 to press down when the drive device 16 drives the upper tube body 11 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 15. This mechanical structure ensures that the colorant 14 can be accurately and stably pushed to the lower tube body 13, thereby realizing the accurate distribution of the colorant. By controlling the rotation speed and direction of the drive device 16, the flow rate and flow direction of the colorant can be further controlled to meet different usage requirements. The upper tube body 11 is connected to the drive device 16 through the transmission mechanism 15, so that the entire colorant distribution process can be automated by controlling the drive device 16, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of the operation. The docking design between the upper tube body 11, the intermediate tube body 12 and the lower tube body 13 ensures the structural stability and sealing of the colorant tube 1, and avoids the problem of colorant leakage or contamination. At the same time, the selection and configuration of the transmission mechanism 15 and the drive device 16 also take into account the reliability and durability of the equipment, ensuring that the colorant tube 1 can operate stably for a long time.

[0076] Optionally, a convex tooth 113 is provided on the outer wall of the upper end portion of the upper tube body 11, and the transmission mechanism 15 includes a transmission sleeve 151 and a bevel gear 152. A groove 1511 is provided on the transmission sleeve 151, and the transmission sleeve 151 is on the upper tube body 11 so that the groove 1511 is engaged with the convex tooth 113, and the bevel gear 152 is meshed with the transmission sleeve 151. The driving device 16 is connected to the bevel gear 152 so that the driving device 16 drives the bevel gear 152 to rotate, and the rotation of the bevel gear 152 drives the transmission sleeve 151 to rotate, and the rotation of the transmission sleeve 151 drives the upper tube body 11 to rotate, thereby driving the screw rod 111 to rotate.

[0077] The color material pushing structure 2 in the above embodiment may include the above-mentioned screw rod 111 and pressure plate 112. Of course, in some embodiments, it may also include the above-mentioned transmission mechanism 15 and drive device 16. The specific structure can be determined by structural design, but as long as the function of the present application is achieved, it will be fine.

[0078] Therefore, the transmission mechanism 15 with the convex teeth 113, the transmission sleeve 151 and the bevel gear 152 added to the colorant tube 1 has the following technical advantages:

[0079] (1) The engagement design between the protruding teeth 113 and the grooves 511 on the transmission sleeve 151 ensures accurate connection and transmission between the upper tube body 11 and the transmission sleeve 151. This design avoids slippage or error during transmission and ensures accurate distribution of the colorant 14.

[0080] (12) The meshing design of the bevel gear 152 and the transmission sleeve 151, as well as the connection between the bevel gear 152 and the drive device 16, constitutes an efficient power transmission system. This design enables the power of the drive device 16 to be quickly and accurately transmitted to the upper tube body 11, thereby driving the screw 11 to rotate and realize the pushing of the colorant.

[0081] (3) The integrated design of the convex teeth 113, the transmission sleeve 151 and the bevel gear 152 makes the entire transmission mechanism 15 compact and small in space. This is very important for the overall design of the colorant tube 1 because it helps to reduce the size and weight of the device and improve the portability and flexibility of the device.

[0082] (4) The rotation of the bevel gear 152 drives the transmission sleeve 151 to rotate, thereby driving the upper tube body 11 to rotate. This transmission method is stable and reliable, and can ensure that the transmission mechanism 15 can still maintain stable performance during long-term and high-frequency use without loosening or failure.

[0083] (5) Since the structure of the transmission mechanism 15 is relatively simple and the connection method between the various components is clear, the relevant components can be easily disassembled and replaced during equipment maintenance, thereby reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.

[0084] Optionally, the screw rod 11 is connected to a screw rod seat 111, and the screw rod seat 111 is located in the inner cavity of the upper tube body 11, and the top of the screw rod seat 111 is engaged with the top of the upper tube body 11 to fix the screw rod seat 111 in the inner cavity of the upper tube body 11, so that the screw rod 11 can be driven to rotate synchronously when the upper tube body 11 rotates.

[0085] Therefore, in the design of the colorant tube 1, the screw 11 is fixed in the inner cavity of the upper tube body 11 through the screw seat 111, which has the following technical advantages:

[0086] (1) The screw seat 111 stably fixes the screw 11 in the inner cavity of the upper tube 11. When the upper tube 11 is driven to rotate, the screw 11 can rotate synchronously and stably. This design ensures that the colorant 14 can be pushed continuously and smoothly, avoiding the stagnation or unevenness of the colorant during the pushing process.

[0087] (2) The top of the screw seat 111 is clamped and fixed to the top of the upper tube body 11. This design makes the installation and removal of the screw seat 111 simple and convenient. When the screw 11 or the screw seat 111 needs to be repaired or replaced, it can be easily taken out, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0088] (3) The fixing function of the screw seat 111 reduces the shaking and friction of the screw 11 during the rotation process, thereby reducing the wear and noise of the equipment. This is of great significance for improving the service life of the equipment and the comfort of the working environment.

[0089] (4) Through the fixing effect of the screw seat 111, the screw 11 can work more stably, reducing the failure and downtime caused by unstable rotation. This design improves the reliability and stability of the equipment and ensures the continuity and accuracy of the colorant dispensing process.

[0090] Optionally, the driving device 16 includes a motor 161, a power output frame 162, and a power output shaft 163. The motor 161 is connected to the power output frame 162 to drive the power output frame 162 to rotate through the motor 161; the power output shaft 163 is connected to the power output frame 162 to drive the power output shaft 163 to rotate through the rotation of the power output frame 162; the bevel gear 152 is sleeved on the power output shaft 163 to drive the bevel gear 152 to rotate through the rotation of the power output shaft 163, and the rotation of the bevel gear 152 drives the transmission sleeve 151 to rotate.

[0091] To this end, in the design of the colorant tube 1, a driving device 16 including a motor 161, a power output frame 162 and a power output shaft 163 is introduced to drive the bevel gear 152 and the transmission sleeve 151, and then drive the upper tube body 11 and the screw rod 11 to rotate, which has the following technical advantages:

[0092] (1) As a power source, the motor 161 can output power stably and efficiently. Through the power output frame 162 and the power output shaft 163, the power can be transmitted to the bevel gear 152 without loss, thereby ensuring the fast and accurate rotation of the transmission mechanism 15 and the upper tube body 11.

[0093] (2) The motor 161 usually has a speed regulating function, which can accurately control the speed and direction of rotation. This allows the pushing speed of the colorant 14 to be adjusted as needed to achieve accurate colorant distribution.

[0094] (3) The use of the motor 161 as a power source can realize the automation of the color material distribution process. The user only needs to set the corresponding parameters, and the device can automatically complete the pushing and distribution of the color material, reducing the difficulty and labor intensity of manual operation.

[0095] (4) The combination of the motor 161, the power output frame 162 and the power output shaft 163 has high operational stability and reliability. This design reduces downtime caused by mechanical failures and improves the overall performance and service life of the equipment.

[0096] (5) The relative independence of the motor 161 and the transmission mechanism 15 makes the maintenance and upkeep of the equipment simpler and more convenient. When a component fails, it can be replaced or repaired separately without disassembling the entire device.

[0097] Optionally, the lower tube body 13 includes: a nozzle 131 and a locking cover 132, the nozzle 131 is connected to the intermediate tube body 12 so that the colorant 14 can be pushed out of the colorant tube 1, and the locking cover 132 is used to lock the connection when the nozzle 131 is connected to the intermediate tube body 12.

[0098] Therefore, in the design of the colorant tube 1, the design that the lower tube body 13 includes the nozzle 131 and the locking cover 132 has the following technical advantages:

[0099] (1) The nozzle 131 is directly connected to the intermediate tube 12, so that the colorant 14 can be smoothly pushed out from the colorant tube 1. This design simplifies the colorant distribution process and improves the convenience of operation.

[0100] (2) The locking cover 132 provides a locking function when the nozzle 131 is connected to the intermediate tube body 12, effectively preventing waste or pollution caused by accidental leakage of the colorant during transportation or storage. This design increases the safety and reliability of the colorant tube 1.

[0101] (3) The locking cover 132 can not only prevent the leakage of the colorant, but also protect the nozzle 131 from the erosion of the external environment, such as dust, moisture, etc. when the colorant is not in use, thereby extending the service life of the nozzle.

[0102] (4) The design of the locking cover 132 allows the nozzle 131 to be easily cleaned and maintained when necessary. When the nozzle is clogged or needs to be cleaned, the user can easily access the nozzle by opening the locking cover and perform necessary cleaning or maintenance work.

[0103] (5) The combined design of the nozzle 131 and the locking cover 132 makes the colorant tube 1 more user-friendly when in use, improving the user's operating experience and satisfaction. The user can easily control the distribution of the colorant according to his or her needs without worrying about problems such as colorant leakage or nozzle damage.

[0104] Optionally, the nozzle 131 is connected to the intermediate tube body 12 , for example, via a collar 133 .

[0105] Optionally, the lower tube body 13 further includes: a locking spring 133, and the locking spring 133 is stuck on the outer wall of the locking cover 132 to lock the locking cover 132 when the locking cover 132 locks the connection.

[0106] Therefore, in the design of the colorant tube 1, the lower tube body 13 is provided with the locking spring 133, which has the following technical advantages:

[0107] (1) When the locking cover 132 locks the connection between the nozzle 131 and the intermediate tube body 12, the locking spring 133 can be stably stuck on the outer wall of the locking cover 132, ensuring that the connection between the locking cover 132 and the colorant tube 1 is tight and firm. This design effectively prevents the colorant leakage caused by accidental loosening, and improves the safety and reliability of the colorant tube 1.

[0108] (2) The use of the locking spring 133 makes the locking operation of the lock cover 132 simpler and faster. The user only needs to align the lock cover 132 with the nozzle 131 and rotate it, and the locking spring 133 can automatically snap into the outer wall of the lock cover 132 to complete the locking process. This design reduces the user's operating steps and time, and improves the use efficiency.

[0109] (3) The locking spring 133 is usually made of an elastic material, such as stainless steel or spring steel, which has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance. This design enables the locking spring 133 to maintain stable performance during long-term use and is not easily damaged or deformed, thereby extending the service life of the colorant tube 1.

[0110] (4) The design of the locking spring 133 enables the colorant tube 1 to adapt to different working environments and conditions. Whether in a high temperature, low temperature or humid environment, the locking spring 133 can maintain a stable locking effect, ensuring that the colorant tube 1 can work normally in various environments.

[0111] (5) Since the locking spring 133 is simple in design and easy to replace, when the locking spring 133 is damaged or worn, the user can easily remove it and replace it with a new one without disassembling or repairing the entire colorant tube 1. This design reduces the maintenance cost and difficulty of the colorant tube 1.

[0112] Optionally, the lower tube body 13 also includes: an anti-backflow structure 134, which is arranged in the nozzle 131. When the colorant 14 is to be pushed out of the colorant tube 1, the anti-backflow device is closed so that the colorant 14 can be pushed out of the colorant tube 1. When the colorant 14 is to be stopped from being pushed out of the colorant tube 1, the anti-backflow device is opened so that the colorant 14 is blocked inside the colorant tube 1.

[0113] To this end, the anti-backflow structure 134 included in the lower tube body 13 plays a key role in the design of the colorant tube 1 and has the following technical benefits:

[0114] (1) The backflow prevention structure 134 is arranged in the nozzle 131 to ensure that when the colorant 14 stops being pushed to the outside of the colorant tube 1, the colorant will not flow back into the tube due to gravity or other reasons. This function is very important in keeping the inside of the colorant tube 1 clean and preventing colorant contamination.

[0115] (2) When the colorant 14 needs to be pushed to the outside of the colorant tube 1, the anti-backflow device is closed, allowing the colorant to flow out smoothly. This design simplifies the operation process and improves work efficiency.

[0116] (3) By effectively preventing the backflow of the colorant, the backflow prevention structure 134 reduces the waste of the colorant and avoids the pipeline contamination and colorant cross contamination that may be caused by the backflow.

[0117] (4) As a part of the design of the colorant tube 1, the anti-backflow structure 134 increases the stability and reliability of the entire device. Its precise design and reliable performance ensure the stable operation of the colorant tube 1 under various working conditions.

[0118] (5) The design of the backflow prevention structure 134 enables it to adapt to different application scenarios, including scenarios that require precise control of the colorant flow rate and prevention of backflow. This flexibility enables the colorant tube 1 to be widely used in multiple industries.

[0119] (6) The backflow prevention structure 134 is usually designed as a detachable or washable component, which allows easy maintenance and cleaning when necessary, thereby extending the service life of the colorant tube 1.

[0120] Optionally, the anti-backflow structure 134 includes a marble 1341 and a spring 1342 located in the nozzle 131, and the spring 1342 supports the marble 1341. When the colorant 14 is to be pushed out of the colorant tube 1, the spring 1342 is squeezed so that the marble 1341 opens the nozzle 131 so that the colorant 14 can be pushed out of the colorant tube 1. When the colorant 14 is to stop being pushed out of the colorant tube 1, the spring 1342 recovers so that the marble 1341 blocks the nozzle 131 so that the colorant 14 is blocked inside the colorant tube 1.

[0121] Therefore, the anti-backflow structure 134 composed of the marble 1341 and the spring 1342 has the following technical advantages in the design of the colorant tube 1:

[0122] (1) A simple and efficient backflow prevention mechanism is realized by the combination of the marble 1341 and the spring 1342. When the colorant 14 is pushed, the marble 1341 is pushed away, allowing the colorant to pass through; when the pushing stops, the marble 1341 is quickly reset under the action of the spring 1342, blocking the nozzle 131, effectively preventing the colorant from flowing back.

[0123] (2) Since the backflow prevention structure 134 can quickly and accurately control the flow of the colorant, it helps to improve the accuracy of the colorant dispensing. Whether in precision coating, dispensing or other applications that require precise control of the amount of colorant, this structure can provide reliable performance.

[0124] (3) By preventing the backflow of the colorant, the accumulation and precipitation of the colorant in the pipeline is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of pipeline blockage. This helps to keep the colorant pipe 1 unobstructed and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0125] (4) Effectively preventing the backflow of pigments means reducing the waste of pigments caused by backflow. At the same time, it avoids the pipeline contamination and pigment cross-contamination caused by the backflow of pigments, and maintains the purity and consistency of the pigments.

[0126] (5) The anti-backflow structure composed of the marble 1341 and the spring 1342 is relatively simple and easy to disassemble and clean. When replacement or cleaning is required, the user can easily complete these operations to keep the device in good condition.

[0127] (6) This anti-backflow structure is applicable to a variety of different types of colorants and working environments. Whether it is a viscous liquid, a powdery substance or other types of materials, as long as the appropriate marble 1341 and spring 1342 are selected, an effective anti-backflow function can be achieved.

[0128] On the basis of the above embodiments, considering that the tube body can be an integrated structure, a colorant conveying system is provided, which includes: a tube body, a screw 11, and a pressure plate 112, the tube body having a cavity for accommodating the colorant 14, the outer wall of the tube body being connected to a driving device 16 through a transmission mechanism 15, and the screw 11 being arranged in the tube body, the pressure plate 112 being engaged with the screw 11, so that when the driving device 16 drives the tube body to rotate through the transmission mechanism 15, the tube body drives the screw 11 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw 11 drives the pressure plate 112 to press down, so as to push the colorant 14 in the cavity toward the outside of the tube body until the colorant 14 that can flow out of the tube body is formed.

[0129] Based on the above embodiments, a lipstick machine is provided, which includes the colorant delivery system described in any embodiment of the present application. The colorants in each colorant tube 1 are different in color, and the colorants in multiple colorant tubes 1 can be mixed to obtain the desired lipstick color.
