Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment, and in particular to an automatic cat-eye nail-donning machine for producing artificial nail pieces with a cat-eye effect and a processing method for cat-eye nail-donning. Background Art

[0002] Artificial nail tips are wearable nail tips made through artificial processes. They are popular among nail art enthusiasts for their diverse styles, ease of application, and long-lasting wear. The cat's eye effect is a newly popular nail art style. It involves creating a cat's eye-like effect on the nails by focusing light, creating different shadows at different angles. The cat's eye effect is achieved with nail polish containing magnetic pigments. Before the paint is applied and before it cures, the artist uses a magnet to alter the orientation of the magnetic pigments in the cat's eye polish, creating the cat's eye effect. The cat's eye sheen typically reflects the angle at which the magnet is positioned. The cat's eye effect is the three-dimensional effect created by the interference of magnetic powder with a magnetic field. Cat's eye powder refers to magnetically conductive powder, and the process of interference is called the primary magnetic permeation process. Cat's eye nail gel refers to nail gel or polish containing cat's eyes. It consists of a mixture of cat's eye powder and polish.

[0003] However, the cat-eye effect is complicated to produce and can only be done manually by manicurists using related technologies, which cannot be realized in the artificial nail plate industry where mass production is required.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new automatic cat's eye machine for wearing armor and a processing method for cat's eye wearing armor to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The motor drives the pneumatic rotor to rotate through the belt so that the magnets move.

[0016] Preferably, the magnet is any one of a rare earth magnet, a ferrite, a rubber magnet, and a neodymium iron boron magnet.

[0017] Preferably, the automatic nail art cat eye machine further includes a protective cover installed on the top surface of the housing. When the pre-curing device and the drive unit are in the initial state, they are located inside the protective cover.

[0018] The present invention also provides a processing method for cat eye nail art. The processing method is based on the automatic nail art cat eye machine provided by the present invention and includes the following steps:

[0019] Step S1, controlling the driver to act through the controller to close the hinge;

[0020] Step S2, driving the motor to rotate through the controller to drive the magnets to move to generate a continuous magnetic field, so that the cat eye nail polish on the nail piece placed on the hinge forms a cat eye effect; and controlling the drive unit to work through the controller to drive the pre-curing device to move along the track to above the hinge;

[0028] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0029] The specific embodiments / Examples described herein are specific embodiments of the present invention and are used to illustrate the concept of the present invention. They are all explanatory and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention and the scope of the present invention. Except for the embodiments described herein, those skilled in the art can also adopt other obvious technical solutions based on the content disclosed in the claims and the specification of this application. These technical solutions include technical solutions that make any obvious substitutions and modifications to the embodiments described herein, and all are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] The description of the following embodiments refers to the accompanying drawings, which are used to illustrate specific embodiments in which the present invention can be implemented. The directional terms mentioned in the present invention, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, inside, outside, side, etc., are only with reference to the directions of the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for explaining and understanding the present invention, rather than for limiting the present invention.

[0031] Please refer Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic nail art cat's eye machine 100, including: a housing 1, a pre-curing device 2, a shutter device 3, a magnetic field generator 4, and a controller (not shown in the figure).

[0032] The housing 1 has a receiving space, and its top surface is provided with a through hole 11 penetrating therethrough.

[0033] The pre-curing device 2 includes two tracks 21 installed on the top surface of the housing 1, a pre-curing device 22 installed on the tracks 21 and forming a sliding connection, and a driving unit (not shown in the figure) for driving the pre-curing device 22 to slide along the tracks 21.

[0034] In this embodiment, the two tracks 21 are respectively located on opposite sides of the through hole 11.

[0035] The pre-curing device 22 is used to cure the cat's eye nail polish, that is, to cure the cat's eye nail polish that forms a cat's eye gloss on the nail plate. It can be in the form of UV curing, heat curing, etc. In this embodiment, specifically, the pre-curing device is an LED UV curing lamp. The LED UV curing lamp has a low curing temperature and higher curing efficiency. After the nail strip with the cat's eye effect is irradiated by the LED UV curing light source, it can be quickly shaped or cured. The magnetic conductive powder in the cat's eye nail polish will change the arrangement direction under the action of the magnetic field. If the cat's eye glue can be cured or the viscosity increases, it can prevent the magnetic conductive powder from rearranging again. This is the actual effect of pre-curing. When the degree of pre-curing is further deepened, full curing will be achieved. Whether it is full curing or semi-curing, as long as it can be shaped, it is the purpose of pre-curing.

[0036] The driving unit refers to a device that moves the pre-curing device 22 into the strip placement area, which can be an electric driving force, pneumatic, etc. In this embodiment, the driving unit uses a pneumatic cylinder as a drive, which is more efficient.

[0037] The shutter device 3 is mounted on the top surface of the housing and located between the two rails 21. The shutter device 3 covers the through hole 11 to open or close the through hole 11. When the through hole 11 is closed, the shutter device 3 also supports the nail piece coated with cat-eye nail polish. After the nail piece coated with cat-eye nail polish forms the cat-eye effect in the shutter device area, it is pre-cured in this area.

[0038] When the shutter device 3 is closed, the nail pieces can be placed on it, and the entire shutter device 3 is placed in the effective area of the magnetic field. The cat's eye nail polish is affected by the magnetic field to produce a cat's eye effect. After pre-curing and shaping, the shutter device 3 is opened, and the nail pieces fall to the bottom of the shell 1 and pass through the conveyor belt.

[0039] Specifically, the shutter device 3 includes a hinge 31 hinged to the housing 1, and a driver (not shown) having one end fixed to the housing 1 and the other end fixed to the bottom surface of the hinge 31. The driver is electrically connected to the controller and is used to drive the hinge 31 to open or close.

[0040] In this embodiment, the hinge includes an opening and closing hinge, as well as a fence and a barrier plate, which can allow the nail plate to stay in a specified position and then be withdrawn after the action is completed. The fence can be realized by a plug-in structure.

[0041] Preferably, the shutter device 3 further comprises a sensor switch (not shown) mounted on the surface of the hinge 31. When the nail piece is placed on the hinge 31, the sensor switch is turned on and operates, and the sensor switch is used to generate a trigger signal to drive the driver to operate, thereby closing the hinge 31.

[0042] The magnetic field generator 4 is mounted within the housing 1 and is used to generate a magnetic field and position the shutter device 3 within the magnetic field. This interferes with the cat-eye nail polish on the nail piece placed on the shutter device 3, causing the magnetic powder in the cat-eye nail polish to change its orientation due to the magnetic field, creating a cat-eye effect. A power device can be used to drive the magnet to perform geometric motion, thereby generating a continuous surface and a continuous magnetic field.

[0043] In this embodiment, specifically, the magnetic field generator 4 includes a magnet fixing member (not shown in the figure) installed in the housing 1, a plurality of magnets 41 fixedly arranged at intervals on the magnet fixing member, a motor (not shown in the figure) installed in the housing 1, a pneumatic rotor (not shown in the figure) installed below the magnet 41 fixing member, and a belt (not shown in the figure) connecting the output shaft of the motor and the pneumatic rotor. The motor drives the pneumatic rotor to rotate through the belt, so that the magnets move to form a continuous magnetic field.

[0044] The magnet 41 is any one of rare earth magnets, ferrite, rubber magnets, and neodymium iron boron magnets. The specification of the magnet 41 is a geometric body, and the specification size is set according to the magnetic energy size. A N52 neodymium iron boron with a specification of 30mm * 60mm * 30mm can reach 2900 gauss, and about 3300 gauss near the edge part, which can provide a high magnetic force environment for the wearable nail pieces.

[0045] Of course, using an electromagnetic coil 42 to replace the magnet 41 can also provide magnetic intensity, which is also feasible. However, since it generates magnetic intensity by passing current through the coil, and the surface intensity of the material is proportional to the current, the relative operation difficulty is high and the manufacturing cost increases.

[0046] The controller is electrically connected to the pre-curing device 22, the drive unit, the shutter device 3, and the magnetic field generator 4 respectively, and is used to control the actions of each structure respectively.

[0047] More preferably, the automatic wearable nail cat's eye machine 100 further includes a protective cover 5 installed on the top surface of the housing 1, and the pre-curing device 22 and the drive unit are located in the protective cover 5 when in the initial state.

[0048] It should be noted that the cat's eye glue (cat's eye nail polish) refers to a coating containing a magnetic conductive pigment, and its composition is composed of a magnetic conductive pigment and a coating resin in a certain proportion. Preferably, the ratio is 1.5 to 98.5. Among them, the magnetic conductive pigment that follows the magnetic field arrangement direction refers to a pigment with a flaky structure that can change the arrangement direction under the interference of the magnetic field, and the particle size is 1 - 500um. The magnetic conductive pigment has a flaky structure and can change the arrangement direction under the influence of the magnetic field. The magnetic conductive pigment includes pigments such as optical coating pigments, pearlescent pigments, aluminum pigments, glass flake pigments, metal foil pigments, metals or their oxides, etc., as long as it contains a magnetic conductive substance and can change the arrangement direction under the interference of the magnetic field. The magnetic conductive pigment is an effect pigment containing a magnetic conductive substance and has the function of magnetic conduction. Among them, the magnetic conductive substance includes ferromagnetic substances and paramagnetic substances.

[0049] The coating resin can attach the magnetic conductive pigment to the nail piece, has good adhesion, can make the magnetic conductive pigment easily rotate and arrange in the coating, and can be quickly cured in a short time.

[0050] In this embodiment, the actions of all structures are controlled by the controller. When the artificial nail coated with cat's eye nail polish is placed on the hinge 31 of the shutter device 3, the induction switch works. While the hinge 31 remains in the closed state to support the nail piece, the magnetic field generator 4 generates a magnetic field, and the drive unit of the pre-curing device 2 is started to drive the pre-curer 22 into the nail piece placement area. There will be a magnetic field interference provided by the magnetic field generator 4 around the nail piece. After the cat's eye nail polish on the nail piece is interfered by the magnetic field, a cat's eye effect is produced. After a set interference time, the pre-curing device 2 is started to pre-cure the cat's eye glue. After curing for a preset duration, it returns to the initial position. After the cat's eye effect is shaped, the hinge 31 is further controlled to open, and the nail strip falls below the machine. Through cooperation with an external conveyor belt, it is sent to the full-curing device for curing and collection. An artificial nail piece with a cat's eye effect is thus completed. Each action in the whole process is commanded by the controller, greatly improving the production efficiency of cat's eye artificial nails. It should be noted that the controller command settings are all conventional control settings, which are easy to think of in combination with the hardware and action requirements.

[0051] Please also combine with Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention also provides a processing method for cat's eye artificial nails. The processing method is based on the above-mentioned automatic artificial nail cat's eye machine 100 provided by the present invention. The processing method includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S1: Control the driver to act through the controller to close the hinge 31.

[0053] After the hinge 31 is closed, the nail piece coated with cat's eye nail polish can be placed on the hinge 31. The induction switch on the hinge 31 is used to detect whether a nail piece to generate a cat's eye effect is placed thereon after the hinge 31 is closed. If it is placed, the induction switch generates an induction signal when the door is opened by induction, and the induction signal is used to be sent to the controller.

[0054] Step S2: Drive the motor to rotate through the controller to drive the magnet 41 to move to generate a continuous magnetic field, so that the cat's eye nail polish on the nail piece placed on the hinge 31 forms a cat's eye effect; and control the drive unit to work through the controller to drive the pre-curer 22 to move along the track 21 to above the hinge 31.

[0055] Step S3: Receive the induction signal of the induction switch through the controller and control the pre-curer 22 to be turned on after timing for T1 seconds, so as to cure or pre-cure the cat's eye nail polish on the nail piece. Among them, the induction signal is generated after the induction switch senses that a nail piece is placed on the hinge 31.

[0056] In this step, T1 is applied for a duration of 0 to 99 seconds. T1 is the working time of the magnetic field generator 4 generating a continuous magnetic field, that is, the time for the magnetic field to interfere with the cat-eye nail polish to form a cat-eye effect.

[0057] In step S4, the pre-curing device 22 is turned off after the pre-curing device 22 has been working for T2 seconds, and the driving unit is controlled to work so that the pre-curing device returns to its initial position along the track, and the driver is controlled to operate so that the hinge 31 opens.

[0058] In this step, T2 is applied for a duration of 0 to 99 seconds. T2 seconds is the time it takes for the pre-curing device 22 to cure the cat-eye nail polish on the nail piece with the cat-eye effect formed on the hinge 31. Of course, the times T1 and T2 can be set according to actual needs.

[0059] After the pre-curing unit 22 has operated for T2 seconds, the cat-eye effect nail polish is fixed to the nail tip and cured. At this point, the hinge 31 opens, and the nail tip falls through the through-hole 11 of the housing 1 and leaves the machine. It is then transferred to the next station via a cooperating conveyor belt for final processing, deep curing, or collection. This achieves automated production, effectively improving product stability and production efficiency.

[0060] Compared with the prior art, the automatic cat's eye nail-donning machine and processing method of the present invention are characterized by arranging a pre-curing device and a shutter device on the shell surface, and arranging a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field inside the shell. The working state of each structure is controlled by a controller. When a nail piece coated with cat's eye nail polish is placed on the shutter device, the magnet of the magnetic field generator is triggered to generate geometric movement according to preset rules to form a connected magnetic field, so that the cat's eye nail polish on the nail piece within the magnetic field range is deflected after being disturbed by the magnetic field, thereby forming a preset cat's eye effect. The controller then controls the pre-curing device to perform initial curing on the cat's eye nail polish forming the cat's eye effect on the nail piece, and then controls the shutter device to open so that the nail piece falls through the through hole on the top surface of the shell to the matching conveyor belt and rotates to the next finished product processing step, thereby completing the production of cat's eye effect nail-donning. The actions of each structure in the entire production process are controlled by the controller, and the mechanical performance greatly improves the production efficiency and realizes mass production.

[0061] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention description and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
