Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cosmetic tube technology, and in particular to a biodegradable cosmetic tube. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional cosmetic plastic tubes are round or oval-shaped by flattening a round shape. However, the entire side of the tube is smooth, which has a weak ability to reflect light, resulting in poor printing effect on the surface of the cosmetic tube and a lack of three-dimensionality.
[0003] To solve the above problems, after searching, the prior art disclosed (application number: CN201821853891.5) is a cosmetic tube; the paper proposes that "the cosmetic tube adopts a tube body (10), a tube shoulder (20) and a tube cap (30) with a polygonal cross section. The tube shoulder (20) is located at one end of the tube body (10), and the tube cap (30) is detachably installed on the tube shoulder (20). The adjacent first smooth side surfaces (11) of the tube body (10) are offset at a predetermined angle, and the adjacent second smooth side surfaces (31) of the tube cap (30) are offset at a predetermined angle. When the tube cap (30) is installed on the tube shoulder (20), each of the first smooth side surfaces (11) of the tube body (10) and each of the second smooth side surfaces (31) of the tube cap (30) are set one-to-one, and the surface of the cosmetic tube can reflect light from multiple angles, thereby making the printed pattern on the surface of the cosmetic tube clearer and more three-dimensional;"
[0004] However, in actual use, the amount of cosmetics dispensed cannot be adjusted according to the user's demand, resulting in waste of cosmetics and increased costs. Utility Model Content

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, the discharge mechanism includes a cap 303 fixedly disposed on the hose body 1 for sealing and releasing cosmetics in the storage cavity 2;
[0043] It should be noted that the upper end of the pipe cap 303 is tapered to enhance its aesthetics.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the discharge mechanism further includes: a discharge pipe 301, which is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the hose body 1 for discharging cosmetics from the storage cavity 2; and a threaded structure 302, which is provided at the upper end of the discharge pipe 301, and a pipe cap 303 is threadedly connected to the threaded structure 302 for closing and releasing the discharge pipe 301 through the threaded connection.
[0045] It should be noted that the shape of the discharge pipe 301 is cylindrical 404;
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the discharge pipe 301 extends through the hose body 1.
[0047] Example 3:
[0048] Based on Example 2, in order to further improve the ease of use of the hose body 1, a flow control structure is provided on the hose body 1.
[0049] As a preferred embodiment, the flow control structure includes a sphere 402 arranged on the cap 303 for sealing and releasing cosmetics in the storage cavity 2;
[0050] It should be noted that the 402 spheres are made of silicone rubber, which has excellent toughness and elasticity;
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the flow control structure further includes: a discharge hole 401, which is provided at the upper end of the tube cap 303 for discharging cosmetics from the storage cavity 2; a spherical groove 403, which is provided on the tube cap 303 in the middle of the discharge hole 401 for accommodating a sphere 402; a cylinder 404, which is fixedly provided above the sphere 402 for moving the sphere 402 to close and release the discharge hole 401; and a pull ring 405, which is fixedly provided at the upper end of the cylinder 404 for moving the cylinder 404.
[0052] It should be noted that the upper end of the cylinder 404 is a pointed cone shape that fits onto the tube cap 303, in order to further enhance the aesthetics;
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the discharge hole 401 extends through the pipe cover 303, and the ball 402 is slidably connected to the discharge hole 401 and the ball 402 is slidably connected to the spherical groove 403.
[0054] Working principle: When a large amount of cosmetics is needed in the storage chamber 2 of the tube body 1, screw on the tube cap 303. The tube cap 303 rotates upward through the threaded connection with the threaded structure 302. When the tube cap 303 disengages from the threaded structure 302, squeeze the tube body 1 to expel the cosmetics in the storage chamber 2 through the discharge tube 301 for use. When a small amount of cosmetics is needed, screw the tube cap 303 onto the threaded structure 302 to seal the discharge tube 301. Then pull the pull ring 405 outward. The pull ring 405 drives the cylinder 404 to move upward first. The cylinder 404, through the elasticity of the ball 402 itself, drives the ball 402 to slide upward on the discharge hole 401 and the spherical groove 403. When the ball 402 disengages from the discharge hole 401, the cosmetics can be squeezed out. The tube body 1 is used to discharge cosmetics from the storage chamber 2. When not in use, the elasticity of the ball 402 presses it into the spherical groove 403 to seal the discharge hole 401, allowing the user to adjust the amount of cosmetics discharged according to their needs, reducing waste and saving costs. The tube body 1 is composed of an outer layer 501 and an inner layer 502. The outer layer 501 is made of biodegradable polyethylene (PE) to provide high barrier performance and environmental friendliness. The inner layer 502 is made of polylactic acid (PLA) to ensure the safety of the cosmetics and their compatibility with the contents. Both the outer layer 501 and the inner layer 502 are biodegradable and can be decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment when lost, generating harmless substances such as carbon dioxide and water, significantly reducing waste accumulation and improving environmental friendliness.
