The present invention relates to a raw material and container supply device for a personalized cosmetics manufacturing and vending machine. Sales floor

Background Art

[0002] Generally, cosmetics are mass-produced by cosmetics manufacturing companies and sold to consumers through beauty-related sales floors.

[0003] In addition, cosmetics are equipped with certain manufacturing facilities and quality control facilities, and only those who have obtained permission from the authorities can manufacture them.

[0004] However, it may be realistically impossible for cosmetics manufacturing companies to manufacture cosmetics while considering all the preferences and skin characteristics of many consumers.

[0005] As a result, cosmetics manufacturing companies tend to manufacture cosmetics so as not to cause problems such as skin troubles, and thus there is a limit to meeting the diverse demands of consumers.

[0006] As a result, consumers have the inconvenience of having to find and purchase cosmetics suitable for their own skin by themselves.

[0007] In recent years, functional cosmetics added with specific ingredients have been manufactured and sold to manage acne, wrinkles, stains, blemishes, etc.

[0008] However, it is also difficult for the above-mentioned functional cosmetics to meet all the demands of consumers with different skin characteristics.

[0009] To solve such problems, there has been proposed a personalized cosmetic manufacturing apparatus that enables consumers to directly manufacture cosmetics tailored to their skin characteristics.

[0010] As an example, there is the "Personalized Cosmetic Manufacturing Apparatus" disclosed in Korean Registered Patent No. 10-2211803.

[0011] The conventional cosmetic manufacturing apparatus described above includes a robot arm, a container supply unit for supplying cosmetic containers, a nozzle unit for injecting cosmetic raw materials into the cosmetic containers, a transfer unit for transferring the cosmetic containers to the nozzle unit, a cap supply unit for supplying caps for the cosmetic containers, a stirring unit for stirring the cosmetic containers into which the cosmetic raw materials have been injected, an upper plate, and a work table having a space under the upper plate.

[0012] The container supply unit, nozzle unit, transfer unit, cap supply unit, and stirring unit are arranged around the robot arm with the robot arm as the center.

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

[0014] According to the conventional cosmetic manufacturing apparatus described above, there is an advantage that cosmetics can be manufactured according to the state of the consumer's skin.

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

[0016] First, since each cosmetic raw material is stored and supplied in a raw material storage cylinder, when the raw material is used up, the raw material storage cylinder must be filled with raw materials one by one, and impurities may be mixed in or an air oxidation phenomenon may occur during this process.

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

[0018] Also, even when the operation of the raw material injection pump is stopped, the solution remaining in the raw material supply pipe will flow in the direction of the injection nozzle side for a certain period of time.

[0019] As a result, after one type of cosmetic raw material injection is completed and the container is moved to the next injection nozzle, the raw material solution remaining in the previous raw material supply pipe and injection nozzle will leak and contaminate the surroundings.

[0020] To prevent this, the operation of the raw material injection pump must be stopped, and after all the remaining raw material in the injection nozzle has dropped, the container must be moved to the next nozzle. In this case, the cosmetic manufacturing time will be delayed.

[0021] Also, since the container and the cap are supplied into the housing respectively, impurities can be mixed into the container.

[0022] As a result, it is difficult to meet the cosmetic manufacturing standards stipulated by relevant laws and regulations, and there are difficulties in quality control.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0053] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] A personalized cosmetics manufacturing and selling machine according to the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as "this manufacturing device") includes, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a housing 100, a raw material supply unit 200 provided inside the housing for supplying liquid cosmetic raw materials (hereinafter simply referred to as "raw materials"), a container supply unit 300 for supplying cosmetic containers, a raw material injection unit 600 for injecting cosmetic raw materials into the containers, an articulated robot 400 for picking up the containers from the container supply unit 300 and seating them at determined positions, a stirrer 700 for stirring the containers into which the cosmetic raw materials have been injected, and a cosmetic discharge port 191 for discharging the manufactured cosmetics to the outside of the housing 100.

[0055] The housing 100 includes a table 190, a raw material supply unit door 110, a container supply unit door 120, and a lower door 130.

[0056] On the table 100, around a central articulated robot 400, a raw material supply unit 200, a container supply unit 300, a raw material injection unit 600, and a stirrer 700 are provided.

[0057] In addition, a moving wheel 180 is provided at the lower part of the housing 100, and the manufacturing apparatus can be easily moved to a desired position.

[0058] In addition, the upper surface of the raw material supply unit door 110 and the upper part of the container supply unit door 120 are composed of transparent windows.

[0059] As a result, the administrator can visually grasp the situation inside the apparatus, and the consumer can visually confirm the manufacturing process of the cosmetics.

[0060] In addition, on the front surface of the manufacturing apparatus, there are provided a touch screen 150 through which a consumer can select the type of cosmetics, raw material components, payment method, etc., a camera 160 for recognizing the consumer's face, a card reader 170, a receipt output unit 171, and a cosmetics discharge port 191 for discharging the manufactured cosmetics to the outside of the housing 100.

[0061] In addition, in the space below the table 190, as shown in FIG. 3, there are provided a receipt output machine, a label printer, a barcode recognizer, a card calculator, a control unit 192 for controlling each component of the manufacturing apparatus, a communication device for communicating with a central control device in a remote location, and the like.

[0062] In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of the manufacturing apparatuses of the present invention are connected to a central control device 900 in a remote location via a communication network.

[0063] The communication network can be realized by a wired / wireless communication network such as a local area network (LAN), a wide area communication network (WAN), a value-added communication network (VAN), a mobile communication network, Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet), Mobile WiMAX, or a satellite communication network.

[0064] In addition, the central control device 900 provided at a remote location includes a server S and a computer C that store component and composition ratio data of cosmetic raw materials related to skin conditions.

[0065] And the server S accumulates the corresponding data every time a consumer uses this manufacturing device.

[0066] In addition, the central control device 900 is connected to a mobile terminal P of an administrator who manages this manufacturing device.

[0067] The mobile terminal P can be composed of a smartphone, PCS (Personal Communication System), GSM (Global System for Mobile communication), PDC (Personal Digital Cellular), PHS (Personal Handyphone System), PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), W-CDMA (W-Code Division Multiple Access), Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet) terminal, etc.

[0068] By the above method, in the central control device 900 at a remote location, each manufacturing device can be remotely integrated and managed.

[0069] In addition, when the raw materials are insufficient or a failure of the manufacturing device occurs, the content can be immediately transmitted to each device administrator so that they can quickly take countermeasures.

[0070] For example, in the central control device 900, it is possible to grasp in real time which raw materials are insufficient in each manufacturing device and transmit this content to the administrator of the manufacturing device via the mobile terminal P.

[0071] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8, the raw material supply unit of this manufacturing device will be described.

[0072] The raw material supply unit 200 according to the present invention is for supplying various cosmetic raw materials, and includes a plurality of raw material ports 220 containing liquid cosmetic raw materials, a plurality of hooks 280 for suspending the upper parts of the respective raw material ports 220, a plurality of remaining amount confirmation load cells 210 provided on the upper parts of the respective hooks 280 for sensing the remaining amount of the raw materials in the respective raw material ports 220, a plurality of pumps for transferring the raw materials inside the raw material ports 220 to the raw material injection unit 600 via a raw material supply pipe, and a plurality of drive motors for driving the respective pumps.

[0073] The raw material port 220 is a plastic bag containing raw materials, and is provided in the number corresponding to the number of raw materials to be used. Also, the remaining amount confirmation load cells 210 and the hooks 280 are provided in the number corresponding to the number of raw materials to be used.

[0074] For example, when using 40 types of raw materials, 40 raw material ports 220 are supplied in a form suspended by hooks 280 provided below 40 remaining amount confirmation load cells 210. This is an application of the method of injecting Ringer's solution into a patient in a hospital.

[0075] The remaining amount confirmation load cell 210 senses the weight reduction of the raw material port 220 due to the use of the raw material, and grasps the remaining amount of the raw material remaining inside the raw material port 220.

[0076] Then, the control unit 192 provided at the lower part of the housing 100 transmits the components of the raw material port 220 with insufficient remaining amount to the central control device 900 at a remote location in real time.

[0077] If so, the central control device 900 transmits, via the administrator terminal P of the manufacturing device, which raw materials of which manufacturing device are insufficient.

[0078] Thereby, the administrator of the manufacturing device can quickly replace the raw material port 220 with insufficient amount.

[0079] On the other hand, since the upper part of the raw material supply section door 110 is composed of a transparent window, the administrator of the device can visually determine whether or not the raw material pouch 220 needs to be replaced.

[0080] Moreover, the present invention further includes a residue prevention device 230 in the raw material injection section 600.

[0081] The residue prevention device 230 is for preventing liquid 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. 8, it includes a main body portion 231, a port connection member 232 connecting the main body portion 231 and the raw material pouch 20 side, and an injection nozzle connection member 233 connecting the main body portion 231 and the injection nozzle 610 side.

[0082] Inside the main body portion 231, a first flow path 231a connected to the pouch connection member 232, a second flow path 231b vertically branched from the first flow path 231a, a third flow path 231c vertically branched from the second flow path 231b, and a fourth flow path 231d connecting the first flow path 231a and the third flow path 23ec are formed.

[0083] The second flow path 231b is provided with a first ball 240, a first spring 250, and a first sealing member 231e.

[0084] And the fourth flow path 231d is provided with a second ball 260, a second spring 270, and a second sealing member 231f.

[0085] In the residue prevention device 230, when the raw material is supplied to the injection nozzle 610 side by a pump (not shown), the liquid raw material is supplied to the injection nozzle 610 side while pushing the first ball 240.

[0086] That is, the liquid raw material is supplied to the injection nozzle 610 via the port connection member 232 → the second flow path 231b → the third flow path 231c → the injection nozzle connection member 233.

[0087] 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, and no more raw material flows to the injection nozzle 610 side.

[0088] Thereby, after moving the container in which the injection of one type of raw material is completed to the next injection nozzle 610, it is possible to prevent the remaining amount of raw material remaining in the previous raw material injection pipe and injection nozzle 610 from leaking and contaminating the surroundings.

[0089] Subsequently, the raw material injection part of the present invention will be described.

[0090] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the raw material injection part 600 according to the present invention is for injecting each raw material into the container 310, and is connected to each raw material port 220 via a raw material supply pipe and injects the raw material into the container 310. It includes a plurality of injection nozzles 610, a container transfer member 630 provided below the injection nozzle 610 for injecting raw materials while moving an empty container 310, a liquid amount sensing load cell 620 provided above the container transfer member 630 for sensing the quantitative injection of the raw material injected into the container 310, and a container sensing sensor for sensing the container 310 seated on the upper part of the container transfer member 630.

[0091] The injection nozzle 610 is connected to each raw material port 220 via a raw material supply pipe, and is provided in the number corresponding to the number of raw material ports 220.

[0092] And the control unit 192 moves the empty container 310 to the lower part of the selected injection nozzle 610, and causes the selected raw material to be sequentially injected into the empty container 310.

[0093] That is, when a plurality of raw materials are selected, the raw materials are injected while the empty container 310 sequentially moves to the lower part of the injection nozzle 610.

[0094] At this time, the liquid amount sensing load cell 62 causes an accurate amount of raw material to be injected into the container 310.

[0095] Next, the container supply unit of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12.

[0096] The container supply unit 300 according to the present invention supplies a container for storing cosmetics, and includes a cartridge loading unit 330 for accommodating a plurality of cartridges 320 on which a plurality of containers 310 are loaded, a cartridge transfer device 340 for horizontally transferring the cartridge 320 on which a plurality of containers 310 are loaded, a cartridge discharging device 360 for horizontally pushing out an empty cartridge 320 from the cartridge loading unit 330, and a container separating member 350 for separating the container 310 located at the lower end of the cartridge 320.

[0097] That is, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, in the present invention, after a plurality of containers 310 are laid horizontally and loaded on the cartridge 320, the plurality of cartridges 320 are manually inserted into the cartridge loading unit 330.

[0098] In the above manner, a plurality of containers 310 can be loaded into the cartridge loading unit 330 at one time.

[0099] The present invention also includes a plurality of sensors for checking the horizontal movement of the cartridge 320 and the descending state of the container 310.

[0100] Thereby, when all the containers 310 are discharged from each cartridge 320, the empty cartridge 320 is automatically pushed out horizontally, and all the remaining cartridges 320 are automatically moved horizontally one click at a time.

[0101] The present invention also supplies the container 310 with the cap 312 fastened without separating the container body 311 and the cap 312. Thereby, it is possible to prevent impurities from being mixed into the container 310.

[0102] In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention includes an articulated robot 400 provided at the center of a table 190, which picks up a container 310 by a gripper 410 and transfers it to a determined position.

[0103] Since the articulated robot 400 itself is a known technology, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0104] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12, the process of supplying a container from a container supply unit will be described.

[0105] In FIG. 10, the loaded containers 310 of the rightmost cartridge 320 fall downward one by one and are seated on a container upright member 350. After the container upright member 350 is transferred horizontally by a certain amount, it rotates 90 degrees to upright the container 310.

[0106] Then, the gripper 410 of the articulated robot 400 picks up the container 310 and positions it at a cap separation / fastening device.

[0107] When the gripper 410 of the articulated robot 400 picks up the container 310, after the container upright member 350 returns to its original position, the same operation is repeated to wait for the next container 310.

[0108] In FIG. 10, when all the containers inside the rightmost located cartridge 320 are discharged, a cartridge discharge device 360 provided outside the right side of the cartridge loading portion 330 pushes out the empty cartridge 320 beside the cartridge loading portion 330.

[0109] Then, a cartridge transfer device 340 provided on the left side of the cartridge loading portion 330 moves the cartridge 320 one click to the right.

[0110] When all the empty cartridges 320 are discharged outside the cartridge loading section 330, after manually inserting a new container 310 into the cartridge 320, a plurality of cartridges 320 are inserted into the cartridge loading section 330.

[0111] Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 1, 23 and 24, an apparatus for separating and fastening a cap from a container will be described.

[0112] As shown in FIG. 1, the cap separating / fastening apparatus according to the present invention is for separating and fastening the cap 312 after seating the container 310 picked up by the gripper 410 of the articulated robot 400. It includes a cap separating / fastening section 510 and a cap storage section 520 for temporarily storing the cap 312 separated from the container body 311.

[0113] The cap separating / fastening section 510 includes a rotary spindle for rotating the container body 311 in forward and reverse directions, a speed reducer provided at the lower part of the rotary spindle, and a drive motor provided at the lower part of the speed reducer.

[0114] Thereby, after fixing the lower part of the container to the upper part of the rotary spindle and rotating the rotary spindle in forward and reverse directions, the cap 312 can be separated from and fastened to the container body 311.

[0115] In addition, the cap separating / fastening section 510 is provided with a plurality of sensors for detecting whether the container body 311 rotates and the cap 312 is separated, or whether the separated cap 312 seats on the cap storage section 520.

[0116] With the above structure, the operations of separating and fastening the cap 312 from the container body 311 can be continuously performed.

[0117] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 13, the process of separating and fastening a cap from a container body by an articulated robot will be described.

[0118] First, as shown in FIG. 13a, after the gripper 410 of the multi-joint robot 400 picks up the container at the container supply unit 300, it seats the container on the cap separation / attachment unit 510.

[0119] Subsequently, when the reduction motor is driven to rotate the container body 311 counterclockwise, the cap 312 is separated from the container body 311.

[0120] Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13b, the gripper 410 of the multi-joint robot seats the separated cap 312 on the cap storage unit 520.

[0121] Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13c, the container body 311 is positioned on the container transfer member 630 of the raw material injection unit 600.

[0122] When the injection of the raw material into the container body 311 is completed, as shown in FIG. 13d, the gripper 410 of the multi-joint robot seats the container body 311 filled with the raw material on the cap separation / attachment unit 510 again.

[0123] Next, as shown in FIG. 13e, the gripper 410 of the multi-joint robot picks up the cap 312 in the cap storage unit 520 and covers the container body 311 seated on the cap separation / attachment unit 510.

[0124] Subsequently, when the reduction motor is driven to rotate the container body 311 clockwise, the cap 312 is fastened to the container body 311.

[0125] Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13f, when the gripper 410 of the multi-joint robot picks up the container 310 and seats it on the container fixing member 710 of the stirrer 700, the stirring of the raw material in the container 31 starts while the stirrer operates.

[0126] Hereinafter, the stirrer 700 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 18.

[0127] As shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the stirrer 700 according to the present invention is configured in a ring shape with a tooth profile formed on the inner peripheral surface, and includes an outer gear 741 whose lower part is assembled with the main shaft 740, a motor 720 connected to the main shaft 740 by a belt 730 to rotate the outer gear 741, an inner gear 751 assembled on the inner peripheral surface of the outer gear 741 and performing a planetary motion, and a container fixing member 710 provided on the upper part of the inner gear 751 and configured to allow the container 310 to be seated in an inclined manner.

[0128] Further, the lower part of the container fixing member 710 is assembled with an auxiliary shaft 750 having an inner gear 751 formed on the upper part.

[0129] Also, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the central axis of the main shaft 740 and the central axis of the auxiliary shaft 750 are arranged offset from each other, and the outer gear 741 connected to the main shaft 740 and the inner gear 751 connected to the auxiliary shaft 750 are meshed with each other.

[0130] With the above structure, when the outer gear 741 is rotated, the inner gear 751 meshed with the inner peripheral surface of the outer gear rotates while revolving around the main shaft 740 as the central axis.

[0131] With the above rotation and revolution motions, various raw materials with different viscosities can be perfectly stirred, and the stirring time can also be shortened within several seconds.

[0132] Also, since the container 310 itself is arranged in an inclined manner, the mixing property of the raw materials can be further improved by the action of centrifugal force.

[0133] Further, on one side of the outer peripheral surface of the container fixing member 710, a clamp lever 760 for firmly fixing the container 310, a clamp cylinder 761 for operating the clamp lever 760 to attach and detach the container, and a clamp spring 762 for applying an elastic force to the clamp lever 760 are provided.

[0134] In addition, a sensor for detecting the forward and backward movements of the clamp cylinder 761 is provided, so that stirring is started when the clamping operation of the container 310 is completed, and the clamped state is automatically released when the rotation of the stirrer stops.

[0135] The container in which stirring is completed 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.

[0136] Hereinafter, the air conditioning and sterilization unit of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 to 22.

[0137] The air conditioning and sterilization unit 800 according to the present invention is provided at the upper part 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 a lighting device.

[0138] Since all of the above components have known configurations, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0139] With the air conditioning and sterilization unit 900, the temperature inside the housing 100 can be kept constant, and the air inside the housing can be maintained in a clean state.

[0140] Subsequently, the process of manufacturing and selling cosmetics according to the present invention will be described.

[0141] After a consumer selects the type and ingredients of the desired cosmetics and completes the payment by card or cash, the wireless skin measurer 140 located in front of the housing 100 is taken out and brought into contact with his / her skin.

[0142] Then, the skin measurer 140 measures the skin condition of the consumer and transmits the information to the central control device 900 at a remote location.

[0143] In addition, the consumer can also touch the menu on the touch screen 150 to directly input information such as skin allergies together with their gender and age.

[0144] In the central control device 900, by utilizing the data stored in the server S, the components and compounding ratios of the raw materials suitable for the consumer's skin condition are determined, and this is transmitted to the control unit 192 of the manufacturing device.

[0145] Then, in the control unit 192 of the manufacturing device, the multi-joint robot 400 is operated so that the gripper 410 picks up the container 310, separates the cap 312, and then seats the container body 311 on the container transfer member 630 of the raw material injection unit 600.

[0146] Then, the transfer member 630 on which the container 310 is seated moves to the lower part of each injection nozzle 610 so that the selected raw material is injected.

[0147] When the injection of the raw material is completed, the gripper 410 of the multi-joint robot picks up the container 310, covers it with the cap 312, and then positions it at the stirrer 700.

[0148] In the stirrer 700, the raw material is perfectly stirred by a combination of rotational motion and orbital motion.

[0149] After the stirring of the raw material is completed, when the gripper 410 of the multi-joint robot discharges the container 310 to the outside of the housing 100 through the cosmetic discharge port 191, the manufacturing and sales of the cosmetics are completed.

[0150] The conventional personalized cosmetics manufacturing device supplies liquid cosmetic raw materials to the raw material cylinder and fills the raw material cylinder with the insufficient raw materials, and supplies them to the inside of the housing in a state where the container body and the cap are separated respectively.

[0151] As a result, the mixing of impurities and the phenomenon of air oxidation may occur during the process of filling the raw material cylinder with the raw material.

[0152] Also, after one type of raw material injection is completed and the container is moved to the next injection nozzle, the solution remaining in the previous raw material supply pipe and injection nozzle leaks and contaminates the surroundings.

[0153] In contrast, in the present invention, since each raw material is individually supplied using a raw material port and the raw material ports themselves are alternated, it is possible to prevent the mixing of impurities and the oxidation phenomenon of air that occur during the raw material replenishment process.

[0154] Further, in the present invention, by providing a residue prevention device in the raw material injection section, after one type of raw material injection is completed and the container is moved to the next injection nozzle, the raw material remaining in the previous raw material supply pipe and injection nozzle can be prevented from leaking and contaminating the surroundings.

[0155] Also, since each raw material port is supplied in a form suspended from its respective load cell, the remaining amount of each raw material can be automatically grasped.

[0156] Also, since each manufacturing device is connected to a central control device at a remote location by wireless communication, the remaining amount of each raw material can be confirmed in real time by the central control device at the remote location.

[0157] Also, since the central control device and the administrator terminal of each manufacturing device are connected by wireless communication, it is possible to notify the administrator in real time of the presence or absence of a shortage of raw materials and the occurrence of abnormalities in each manufacturing device.

[0158] Thereby, the administrator of each manufacturing device can quickly replenish the lacking raw materials and perform maintenance quickly.

[0159] Further, in the present invention, the container is supplied with the container body and the cap fastened, and the cap is opened only when injecting the raw material, so that the mixing of impurities can be fundamentally prevented.

[0160] In the above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustratively described, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. It can be understood that those having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications and changes without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
