Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a liquid-powder mixing container, and more specifically, to a liquid-powder mixing container that allows different components, in particular a liquid and a freeze-dried powder, to be stored separately and then mixed and used when necessary. Background Technology

[0002] Among cosmetics, there are functional cosmetics, such as whitening products or anti-wrinkle products, that can achieve new characteristics and better effects by mixing different ingredients.

[0003] However, if different ingredients are mixed and a long period of time passes, there is a risk that the effectiveness will decrease or the mixed ingredients will deteriorate.

[0004] Accordingly, such cosmetics require technology that allows each ingredient to be stored separately and mixed into one only when necessary, and technologies for various mixing containers have been developed to this end.

[0005] However, conventional mixing containers store different components by utilizing a partition structure within the main body and induce mixing of each component by artificially separating or dismantling the partitions when necessary; consequently, the types of components that can be separated and stored are inevitably limited.

[0006] Among the different mixable components, liquids (e.g., essences) and powders have different characteristics, so the sealing structure required for separation and storage must be precise. In particular, freeze-dried powders are at high risk of spoilage if stored in the sealing structure of a general container, so they must be stored in a special container, namely a vial. However, since conventional mixing containers have a structure that cannot be applied to vials, the development of technology regarding this is necessary.

[0007] For reference, prior art related to this includes Registered Utility Model No. 20-0384766, Registered Patent No. 10-1192603, and Registered Utility Model No. 20-0288637. The problem to be solved

[0008] Accordingly, the present invention has been devised to solve the problems described above.

[0013] A vial in which powder is stored, fixed to the second mounting part and sealed at the top with a perforable stopper,

[0014] A piston tube inserted into the above cylinder to press the above pressure plate, having a fastening part formed at the top and an insertion hole formed at the bottom,

[0015] It is characterized by comprising a pumping unit having an upper cap coupled to the above-mentioned fastening part, a pumping means connected to a supply pipe that is inserted into the inside of the vial by being fitted through the pressure plate, the insertion hole, and the nozzle tube, and a discharge part through which contents pumped by the pumping means are discharged.

[0016] And in the liquid powder mixing container according to the present invention,

[0017] The above pressing means is characterized by comprising a pressing cap having an insertion opening into which the piston tube is inserted, which is height-adjustable coupled to the top of the main body to press the cylinder, and a spacing member that fixes the pressing cap by separating it upward relative to the main body.

[0018] Also, in the liquid powder mixing container according to the present invention,

[0019] The nozzle tube is characterized by including a check valve that supplies liquid from the cylinder to the vial.

[0020] In addition, in the liquid powder mixing container according to the present invention,

[0021] The above-mentioned pressure plate and check valve are each characterized by including a fracture structure that is perforated by the pressure of the above-mentioned supply pipe. Effects of the invention

[0022] The liquid powder mixing container according to the present invention is,

[0023] By using liquid cylinders and powder vials to separate and store different components, particularly liquid and freeze-dried powders, each component is safely stored for a long period without deterioration, and the liquid and powder can be easily mixed and used when needed, making it convenient.

[0024] By separating the main body and the pumping unit, the airtightness inside the main body is increased, and unintended mixing of liquid and powder can be prevented through the push cap, gap maintaining member, and check valve.

[0035] Hereinafter, a liquid powder mixing container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0036] The present invention relates to a liquid-powder mixing container capable of separating, storing, and mixing a liquid and a powder, particularly a liquid and a freeze-dried powder, and, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, comprises a main body (10), a cylinder (20), a vial (30), a piston tube (40), and a pumping unit (50).

[0037] Specifically, the present invention

[0038] A main body (10) having an upper first mounting part (12) and a lower second mounting part (13) that are connected vertically through a fitting hole (111), and a pressing means for lowering the cylinder (20) of the first mounting part (12).

[0039] A cylinder (20) in which a liquid is stored, which is connected to the first mounting part (12) so as to be vertically movable, and which is sealed at the top by a vertically movable pressure plate (21) and at the bottom by a nozzle tube (22) that is fitted into the fitting hole (111), and which, when lowered, the nozzle tube (22) punctures the stopper (31) of the vial (30).

[0040] A vial (30) in which powder is stored, which is fixed to the second mounting part (13) and has its top sealed with a perforable stopper (31),

[0041] A piston tube (40) that is inserted into the cylinder (20) and presses the pressure plate (21), and has a fastening part (41) formed at the top and an insertion hole (42) formed at the bottom,

[0042] It includes a pumping unit (50) having an upper cap (51) coupled to the above-mentioned fastening part (41), a pumping means (52) connected to a supply pipe (521) that is inserted into the inside of the vial (30) by being fitted through the insertion hole (42), the pressure plate (21), and the nozzle pipe (22), and a discharge part (53) from which contents pumped by the pumping means (52) are discharged.

[0043] The above pressing means includes a pressing cap (15) having an insertion opening (151) into which the piston tube (40) is inserted, which is connected to the top of the main body (10) in a height-adjustable manner to press the cylinder (20), and a spacing member (16) that fixes the pressing cap (15) by separating it upward relative to the main body (10).

[0044] The above main body (10) is configured such that the upper and lower ends are each open, and the first mounting part (12) and the second mounting part (13) are partitioned by a partition (11). Screw threads are provided on the upper outer surface of the first mounting part (12) and the lower outer surface of the second mounting part (13), respectively, so that the pressing cap (15) and the lower cap (14) are each connected to seal the first mounting part (12) and the second mounting part (13).

[0045] At this time, the first mounting part (12) and the second mounting part (13) have supporting ledges (121) (131) protruding from the lower and upper ends of each screw thread, and the pressing cap (15) is not completely fastened to the screw thread of the first mounting part (12) by the spacing member (16), and the lower cap (14) is completely fastened to the screw thread of the second mounting part (13).

[0046] The above insertion hole (111) is formed with a support member (112) protruding from the center of the bottom surface of the partition (11), and a support member (141) into which the vial (30) is inserted is protruded from the bottom of the lower cap (14), so that the vial (30) is fixed in the correct position in the second mounting part (13) through the support member (112) and the support member (141).

[0047] The above-mentioned push cap (15) is provided with an insertion opening (151) in the center that corresponds to the polygonal surface (43) of the piston tube (40), and is secured at a height that is spaced upward from the upper support ledge (121) by means of the spacing member (16) while the upper end of the cylinder (20) is in contact with the inside.

[0048] The above spacing member (16) is intended to prevent the cylinder (20) from being pressed by separating the upper support ledge (121) and the lower end of the pressing cap (15). In the drawing, a spacing member (16) is typically shown in a ring shape with a partially severed form that is fitted onto the upper support ledge (121) and can be removed by pulling it out with a handle (161), but is not limited thereto (for example, it can be modified into a shape that can be removed by tearing it off in the form of a strip).

[0049] The above cylinder (20) has an open top and the pressure plate (21) is fitted inside it to seal the top opening, and the discharge hole (23) is provided at the bottom and the discharge hole (23) is sealed by the nozzle tube (22).

[0050] The above pressure plate (21) is provided with a wing portion (211) that is in close contact with the inner surface of the cylinder (20), so that when pressurized, the liquid inside the cylinder (20) is pushed downward and discharged through the discharge hole (23) and the nozzle tube (22).

[0051] This pressure plate (21) has a fracture structure that is perforated by the pressure of the supply pipe (521), such as the check valve (24) described later.

[0052] The above pressure plate (21) is composed of a thin rupture film (212) in which a central part of the pressure plate (21) can be easily torn, so that when an external force greater than a certain amount is directly applied to the rupture film (212), the rupture film (212) is perforated.

[0053] The nozzle tube (22) is fitted and coupled to the lower end of the cylinder (20) to communicate with the discharge hole (23), and can descend together with the cylinder (20) within the first mounting part (12) by means of a skirt-shaped nozzle body (221) connected to the outside of the nozzle tube (22).

[0054] The nozzle tube (22) is mounted in a manner that contacts the upper surface of the stopper (31) of the vial (30) while being inserted into the fitting hole (111), so that when the cylinder (20) is pressed downward, the nozzle tube (22) penetrates the stopper (31).

[0055] To this end, it is preferable that the tip of the nozzle tube (22) be formed into a pointed tip.

[0056] Meanwhile, the nozzle tube (22) is equipped with a check valve (24) that supplies liquid from the cylinder (20) to the vial (30).

[0057] The check valve (24) not only controls the supply of liquid from the cylinder (20) only toward the vial (30), but also has a fracture structure so that the check valve (24) can be subsequently perforated by the supply pipe (521).

[0058] To explain the fracture structure of the check valve (24), the check valve (24) is first composed of a support ring portion (241) that is fitted and supported inside the nozzle tube (22), a sealing membrane (242) that is spaced apart from the support ring portion (241) and covers and seals the discharge hole (23), and elastic fracture portions (244) that have a thin thickness and are bent to form a discharge port (243) between the support ring portion (241) and the sealing membrane (242), with the discharge port (243) forming an arc shape and arranged in a double arrangement inside and outside.

[0059] With the check valve (24) connected to the nozzle tube (22), the sealing membrane (242) is in close contact with the tip of the cylinder (20) and covers and seals the discharge hole (23).

[0060] And when the liquid inside the cylinder (20) is pressed downward by the pressure of the pressure plate (21), the elastic break portion (244) is deformed by the pressure, and the sealing membrane (242) is pressed downward, causing the discharge port (243) to open, and the liquid in the cylinder (20) is discharged through the nozzle tube (22).

[0061] Subsequently, as the discharge of the liquid is completed, the pressure applied to the sealing membrane (242) is relieved, and the sealing membrane (242) returns to its original state to seal the discharge port (23), thereby preventing the mixture in the vial (30) from flowing back into the cylinder (20).

[0062] In addition, when the sealing membrane (242) is pressed by the supply pipe (521) with a force greater than a certain amount and the pressure that the elastic breaking part (244) can withstand reaches a critical point, one or more of the elastic breaking parts (244) break, causing the sealing membrane (242) to be separated from the tip of the cylinder (20), and the supply pipe (521) is inserted through the nozzle pipe (22).

[0063] Next, the above vial (30) is a known glass container that can store freeze-dried powder without deterioration and is sealed with a stopper (31) at the top, and the stopper (31) is made of a rubber material for vials (30) that completely seals the inside and outside as known and can be easily punctured with a needle, etc.

[0064] The piston tube (40) and pumping unit (50) are configured to be packaged separately from the main body (10), cylinder (20), and vial (30). As shown in FIG. 1, the piston tube (40) and pumping unit (50) may be individually packaged by being combined in a primary manner, or the piston tube (40) and pumping unit (50) may be individually packaged in a separated form.

[0065] The above piston tube (40) is formed in a tube shape that is longer than the cylinder (20) so that a portion of its upper end can be exposed above the pressing cap (15) when it is fully fitted into the cylinder (20). A fastening portion (41), such as a screw thread, is formed on the portion exposed above the pressing cap (15), and the supply tube (521) is inserted through the insertion hole (42) at the tip.

[0066] In this piston tube (40), a polygonal surface (43) is formed on the lower part of the fastening part (41) so that when inserted into the cylinder (20), the piston tube (40) does not rotate relative to the main body (10).

[0067] The above pumping unit (50) is a known pump component used in various cosmetics or household goods, and there are no restrictions on the structure, operating principle, or detailed shape of the above pumping means (52) and discharge part (53), except that the above supply pipe (521) is made of a straight pipe made of a hard material so as to apply pressure greater than a certain amount to the above pressure plate (21) and check valve (24) when in use.

[0068] The following describes a method of using the present invention having the above-described configuration.

[0069] First, the above cylinder (20) and vial (30) each contain liquid and powder, respectively, and are mounted to the first mounting part (12) and the second mounting part (13) of the above main body (10) respectively and assembled together with the main body (10), and the above piston tube (40) and pumping unit (50) are packaged separately as separate items.

[0070] In this state, as shown in Fig. 5, the pressing cap (15) is prevented from being fastened by the spacing member (16), so that the plug (31) cannot be punctured, and the liquid and powder inside the cylinder (20) and vial (30) are separated and stored.

[0071] And when using a mixture of liquid and powder, first separate and remove the gap maintaining member (16), and then, as shown in FIG. 6, completely tighten and fasten the push cap (15). As the cylinder (20) descends due to the push cap (15), the nozzle tube (22) penetrates the stopper (31) and the vial (30) is opened.

[0072] In this state, after preparing the piston tube (40) as shown in FIG. 7, if the piston tube (40) is inserted into the insertion port (151), the pressure plate (21) is pressed downward by the piston tube (40) as shown in FIG. 8, thereby pushing the liquid inside the cylinder (20) downward.

[0073] Accordingly, as the check valve (24) opens, the liquid in the cylinder (20) is discharged into the vial (30) through the discharge port (23) and the nozzle tube (22), thereby mixing the liquid and the powder.

[0074] Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the pumping unit (50) is prepared, and as shown in FIG. 9, the upper cap (51) is fitted onto the connecting part (41) of the piston tube (40) to assemble it. At this time, due to the pressure of the supply tube (521), the rupture membrane (212) of the pressure plate (21) and the sealing membrane (242) of the check valve (24) are ruptured, and as the supply tube (521) is fitted into the inside of the vial (30), the mixture inside the vial (30) can be pumped using the pumping unit (50).

[0075] In describing the present invention above, the liquid-powder mixing container has been described with reference to the attached drawings; however, the present invention is capable of various modifications, changes, and substitutions by those skilled in the art, and such modifications, changes, and substitutions should be interpreted as falling within the scope of protection of the present invention.
