Definitions

  • the object of this invention is a machine for preparing creams from a number of products contained in cartridges supplied in a suitable proportion and combination in order to obtain the desired product.
  • the present machine is characterised by its configuration and construction, as the entire cream preparation process is performed automatically, allowing to repeat a specific composition with total accuracy.
  • the object of this invention is the development of a machine with all processes fully automated, including the initial recognition of the cartridges containing creams, dosing and preparation of these creams, allowing to obtain information remotely on the state of the cartridges and the operation of the machine by means of a microprocessor-based control system provided in the machine, in charge of controlling all of the machine's actions through a removable modem incorporated in the system aided by a number of field sensors.
  • the present invention lies in the field of machines for preparing and supplying various products, specifically creams, in order to produce a final cream with specific properties, in which the preparation takes place automatically after selection with a keyboard.
  • machines for mixing and preparing creams or various cosmetic products in specific proportions rely on the use of revolving drums provided with a peripheral alignment of cartridges containing the products to be dosed. These products are dosed by a plunger common to all cartridges, connected on its top to a radial arm which in turn is connected to a nut driven by a spindle.
  • the entire drum and spindle assembly is suitably motorised by a pulse motor controlled by a microprocessor.
  • Machines of this category are known from documents ES-A1-2154523 , EP-A1-0 391 286 , US-A-5 445 195 and EP-A-0 461 371 .
  • the object of this invention is to develop a machine for preparing creams that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks, in which the closure means for each cartridge after dosing are accurate without any dripping, also allowing a remote knowledge of the state of the cartridges after each application so that it is not necessary to clean the cartridge nozzles after each application, wherein the unit as a whole performs all actions in an automated manner, for which it is provided with the required control means (encoders, Hall effect transducers, etc.) and a microprocessor that receives the signals from these control means or field sensors and acts on each part of the machine.
  • control means encoders, Hall effect transducers, etc.
  • the object of this invention of a machine for preparing creams consists of a frame provided with an external display and a screen with a keyboard, placed at a height that allows its use by a standing user. On the bottom it is provided in an with a number of accessible drawers. Inside one of these drawers is an adhesive label printer; inside another drawer is a card printer; another drawer contains the input and output cards for a remote control and the power supply; finally, another contains the microprocessor or programmable logical control that receives the field signals and emits the commands to the various parts of the device.
  • the device On the inside, the device has a double set of revolving drums driven by a motor reducer.
  • the cartridges containing the creams to be dosed are placed inside the set of drums.
  • Each drum is driven and turned by a motor that transmits its motion to the plates through a set of gears.
  • a Hall effect sensor is disposed around the circumference of each plate, used for the initial positioning of each drum. It is also provided with an encoder for knowing the position of each drum.
  • each drum Near and above each drum is a barcode reader that provides a first identification of each cartridge informing of the content of all the cartridges placed above the revolving drums. This first reading and identification is performed after the machine has been loaded using the Hall effect sensor placed on the circumference of each drum, which is used as a zero-position sensor, so that the machine knows the position of each cartridge at all times.
  • a double spindle set one for each drum.
  • the spindles are driven by a motor reducer in charge of moving a push tube provided on its end with a sliding bushing that pushes or presses against the top of the cartridges.
  • Each spindle set is provided with an encoder that allows knowing the displacement of each sliding bushing, and thus the state of each cartridge.
  • two Hall effect sensors are fitted: one for the top position and one for the bottom position.
  • a motor-driven positioning arm which with the aid of three Hall effect sensors is positioned either under one of the revolving drums or at the centre to allow the beater to fully mix the creams supplied.
  • a beater driven by a motor and controlled by an encoder.
  • a set of gears Associated to the end of the motor is a set of gears, on the end of which is a supporting piece for a spatula that is subjected to a double revolution.
  • the beater is moved by a motor-driven beater arm provided with two Hall effect sensors used to position the beater.
  • Figure 1 shows a front and side view of the outside of the machine object of the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a front and side view of the inside of the machine.
  • Figure 3 shows a detailed view of the spindle group used to dose the cartridges.
  • Figure 4 shows a front and side view of one of the clips used to seal the cartridges.
  • Figure 5 shows a detail of the beater meant to beat the dosed creams.
  • Figure 6 shows the elements conforming the jar centring arm on which the creams are first dosed and then mixed.
  • Figure 7 shows a revolving drum next to he means for opening and closing the cartridge clips.
  • Figure 8 shows the parts comprising the beater arm.
  • Figure 1 shows that the machine comprises a monitor (1) that shows the information required for the selection process of the desired cream.
  • a keyboard (2) with a mouse touch pad.
  • Under the monitor (1) and the keyboard (2) is a set of compartments housing, from top to bottom, an adhesive label printer (3), a card printer (4), the input and output cards (5) for knowing the state of the machine remotely by a modem and the power supply, and lastly on the bottom compartment the control unit (6) in the form of a microprocessor.
  • FIG. 2 The frontal and side interior view of figure 2 shows a double set of spindles (8) in charge of dosing each cartridge. Also shown is a double set of revolving drums (12), a double set of barcode readers (7) and a beater (10). Suspended under the bottom disc of the revolving drums (12) are the clips (9). The side view allows appreciating a jar centring arm (11) provided on its end with a ring (11.3). Also shown is the arm (14) of the beater (10).

  • Each clip (9) has two arms (9.1) hinged on a fork (9.2) that is connected to the bottom plate of each revolving drum (12) by a support plate (9.4). These clips (9) are kept in the closed position by the action of a spring (9.5) held at the end of each of the arms of the clip by a retainer (9.6).
  • a cam (9.3) In the space between the two arms (9.1) of the clip (9) is housed a cam (9.3) that is vertical in the closed position of the clip.
  • the cam (9.3) is connected to a cam drive head (9.7).
  • the clip (9) is opened and closed by the drive head (9.7) through an actuator (14) (figure 7). Two Hall effect sensors allow knowing whether the clip has reached the open or closed position.
  • the beater (10) has a motor reducer (10.1) disposed on a support, and controlled with the aid of an encoder (10.2).
  • a coupling piece (10.3) to the beater shaft, which is in turn connected to a set of gears (10.4) and (10.5).
  • a part (10.6) for supporting the spatula, so that this part has a double rotation: about itself and about the centre.
  • the support part is located inside a centring bell (10.7).
  • FIG. 6 shows that the jar centring arm (11) has a main plate (11.1) joined to another plate (11.2), on the end of which is placed the arm ring (11.3) and on it the centring ring (11.4).
  • This centring arm (11) is driven by a motor (11.6) mounted on a support (11.5) and joined to the plate (11.1) by a clutch shaft (11.6) provided with a spring (11.7).
  • a motor (11.6) mounted on a support (11.5) and joined to the plate (11.1) by a clutch shaft (11.6) provided with a spring (11.7).
  • three Hall effect sensors are disposed used to position the centring arm (11) either at the centre, for beating, or under each revolving drum (12).
  • Figure 7 shows that the revolving drum (12) has a main shaft (12.1) on which is disposed a cartridge inner support (12.2), a cartridge external support plate (12.3) and finally a cartridge positioning plate (12.4). Between the plates (12.4) and (12.5) are placed a number of separators (12.5).
