Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for filling and pressing powdered solid cosmetics into convertato containers, and in particular, the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for filling and pressing a powdered solid cosmetic into a compact container, and in particular, the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for filling and pressing a powdered solid cosmetic into a compact container. METHODS AND APPARATUS.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in order to fill the inner tray of a compact container with powdered solid cosmetics, there have been two methods: adding a volatile oil agent to the powdered solid cosmetics to give it fluidity and pouring it into the inner tray, as shown in Figure 5. First, a frame 17 having the same shape as the side wall 13 is placed on the side wall 13 of the inner tray 11, and powdered solid cosmetics are filled by the mass cutting method up to the height of the frame 17, and then the opening of the inner tray 11 is A method is used in which the powdered solid cosmetic in the inner tray 11 is pressed with a pressing body 14 having the same shape as the inner tray 11, and is compressed and solidified to a level below the height of the side wall 13.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, according to the former method, since a volatile oil agent is used, there is a limit to the amount of powdered solid cosmetics that can be used. The process of skipping is required, which increases the number of processes, and it is also necessary to secure space for storage, making it difficult to mass-produce.

On the other hand, in the latter method, the frame body 17 can be set and removed because the shapes of the inner plates 11 vary.
It is said that it is difficult to automatically set and remove the frame 17 that can be shared with the frame 1, and it has to be done manually, which increases the number of steps and increases the manufacturing cost. Since the mass-cutting method is applied, the leftover powdered solid cosmetics stain the surroundings of the process, causing problems such as not only wasting the powdered solid cosmetics but also deteriorating the working environment.

The first technical problem of the present invention is to solve these problems, and it is possible to easily automate the filling press for powdered solid cosmetics, thereby reducing the number of steps and reducing manufacturing costs. Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and an apparatus for filling and pressing powder solid cosmetics, which do not scatter the powder solid cosmetics during filling, do not waste the powder solid cosmetics, and do not worsen the working environment.

By the way, the two conventional filling methods described above are generally used to fill the powder solid cosmetic into the inner tray 11 housed in the tray of the compact container. Directly filled and pressed products are rarely seen other than by the former method, but the former method is not recommended to be used because of the problems mentioned above.

On the other hand, in the latter method, since the lid is connected to the saucer, the lid gets in the way when setting and removing the frame 17 and cutting squares, so the fluid is removed during production. The method involves filling and pressing and then attaching the lid later, resulting in a multi-step process. In addition, powdered solid cosmetics scattered during filling adhere to the outer surface of the compact container, so it must be cleaned after filling, and the disadvantages of multi-processing outweigh the advantages of direct filling, making direct filling possible. is hindering.

A second technical object of the present invention is to solve these problems and provide a filling press method and apparatus for powdered solid cosmetics that can directly fill powdered solid cosmetics into the tray of a compact container.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention takes the following technical measures.

That is, in the present invention, a powder solid cosmetic is filled in a container 11 having a side wall 13 erected around a bottom plate 12, and a press body 14
In the filling press method for a powdered solid cosmetic that is compressed and solidified, filling is performed through a preliminary pressing step and a main pressing step.

In the temporary pressing step, the solid powder cosmetic is filled into the container 11 in a semi-solidified state, and the height of the solid cosmetic powder at that time is higher than the height of the side wall 13 of the container 11. In the main pressing step, a frame 17 surrounds the semi-solid powdered solid cosmetic that protrudes upward from the side wall 13 of the container 11.
This is a step of pressing and solidifying the powdered solid cosmetic with the pressing body 14 that descends within the container.

Further, the apparatus of the present invention is an apparatus for filling and pressing a powder solid cosmetic into a container 11 having a side wall 3 erected around a bottom plate 12, and comprising a filling machine A used in the temporary pressing process and a main body. It is equipped with a press machine B used for the press process.

The filling machine A connects a cylindrical filling mold 1 with an open bottom surface to a powder transporting device 5 that transports powdered solid cosmetics in an air flow through a powder transporting pipe 6, and A piston 2 is provided in the mold 1 so as to be able to move up and down, and the filling mold 1
When carrying the powder solid cosmetic into the interior, the lower opening of the filling mold 1 is closed with a closing body 9, and the closing body 9 or the filling mold 1 is
The press B has a structure in which at least one of them is provided with an exhaust path 10 for escaping airflow to the outside of the filling mold l, and the press B is provided with a pressing body 14 shaped to match the opening of the container 11, It has a structure in which a frame 17 is provided around the body 14 so as to be able to freely slide up and down, and a spring 20 is provided that always biases this frame 17 in the downward direction. The lower end of is set at a position below the lower surface of the pressing body 14.

[Effect]

In the method of the present invention, instead of the temporary filling that was conventionally performed by the mass cutting method, the powdered solid cosmetic is filled in advance in a temporary pressing process in a semi-solidified state and in a state where the height is higher than the side wall 13 of the container 11. This makes the subsequent main pressing process extremely easy.

That is, by making the powder solid cosmetic into a semi-solidified state in the temporary pressing step, the powder solid cosmetic does not crumble and scatter, and as a result, the powder solid cosmetic that protrudes upward from the side wall 13 is surrounded by a frame. When the solid cosmetic powder is compressed by inserting the pressing body 14 into the frame 17, the solid cosmetic powder is compressed by the frame 17.
It is compressed and filled into the container 11 as it is without protruding from the inside and solidified.

Next, the operation of the apparatus for carrying out the method of the present invention will be explained.

Since the filling machine A is used in the temporary pressing process, the solid cosmetic powder is placed on the air flow by the powder conveying device 5 with the lower opening of the filling mold L closed with the closing body 9, and the solid cosmetic is transferred through the powder conveying pipe 6. When the powdered solid cosmetic is carried into the filling mold 1, only the airflow escapes from the exhaust path 10 to the outside of the filling mold 1, and the powdered solid cosmetic is piled up inside the filling mold 1 and becomes semi-solidified by the force of the airflow. Become. Therefore, open the bottom opening of the filling mold l,
When the piston 2 is positioned above the container 11 and lowered, a semi-solid powdered solid cosmetic is filled into the container 11 in a temporarily pressed state.

If the filling mold 1 is designed so that the height of the solid cosmetic powder to be semi-solidified in the filling mold 1 is higher than the height of the side wall 13 of the container 11 to be filled, the solid cosmetic powder can be filled in a semi-solidified state. The upper part of the powdered solid cosmetic protrudes upward from the side wall 13 of the container 11.

Next, a container 2B filled with semi-solid powdered solid cosmetics is prepared.
When press machine B is lowered from above l l, first,
The upper part of the semi-solid powdered solid cosmetic is contained within the frame 17, and then the lower end of the frame 17 comes into contact with the upper end of the side wall 13 of the container 11. If this state is maintained and the pressing body 14 is lowered, the frame 17 will rise relatively against the biasing force of the spring 20, and the pressing body 14 will protrude downward from the lower end of the frame 17. In this state, the powder solid cosmetic enters into the container 11, and the powdered solid cosmetic is further compressed and solidified to complete the filling. During this process, the powder solid cosmetic is surrounded by the frame 17, so it does not scatter to the outside.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<Example 1> First, filling machine A used in the temporary pressing process based on FIG.
An example of this will be described.

This is a cylindrical filling mold l having an opening on the lower surface, in which a piston 2 is provided so as to be able to rise and fall freely, and this piston 2 is driven up and down by an air cylinder device 3 that is integrally provided on the filling mold l. It looks like this.

A supply port 4 is provided in the side wall 13 of the filling mold l, and a powder conveying device 5 is connected thereto.
In this example, a near compressor C is connected to a powder transport pipe 6 connected to a supply port 4 via a valve 7 and a pressure vessel 8.
Powdered cosmetics are stored in a pressure container 8 and transported into a filling mold 1 by a compressed air flow from a near compressor C. Furthermore, when carrying the powdered solid cosmetic into the filling mold 1, it is necessary to close the bottom opening of the filling mold 1 with a closing body 9, but since this closing body 9 is made of sintered metal, An exhaust path 10 having fine holes through which only gas can pass is formed.

Next, the press machine B used in this press process will be explained based on FIG. 3.

The inner tray 11 as a container to be filled with powdered solid cosmetics is formed into a circular shape with a side wall I3 erected around a bottom plate I2. It has a pressing body 14 for compressing and filling the powdered solid cosmetic into the inner tray 11. A small-diameter push rod 16 is installed upright, and a cylindrical frame 17 that can freely slide up and down is provided around the press head 15 of this press body 14. It has a flange portion 18 on the inner side of the upper end.

A stopper ring 19 is screwed onto the upper end of the push rod 16, and a coil spring 20 is wound around the push rod 16. The cylindrical frame body 17 is always urged in the downward direction by being stretched between the two ends. Since the height of the cylindrical frame 7 is higher than the height of the press head 15, the lower end of the cylindrical frame 17 is located below the lower surface of the press head 15 when the cylindrical frame 17 is lowered to its lowest point. ing.

This pressing body I4 is driven up and down by an air cylinder device (not shown) connected to the pressing rod 16.

The filling and pressing process of powdered solid cosmetics using these filling machine A and press machine B will be explained based on FIG. 1.

First, when the powder solid cosmetic is filled into the filling mold 1 of the filling machine A by the near compressor C, the compressed air escapes from the exhaust path 10 and only the powder solid cosmetic remains in the filling mold 1 and is halved by the pressure of the compressed air. It becomes a solidified state [Fig. 1(a)]. Therefore, the filling mold 1 is placed on the inner tray 11, the piston 2 is lowered, and the filling mold 1 is raised to fill the semi-solidified powdered solid cosmetic into the inner tray 11 (see Fig. 1). b)(c)
).

Now that the temporary pressing step has been completed, the inner plate 11 is brought below the press machine B [FIG. 1(d)] and the press machine B is lowered. The semi-solid powdered solid cosmetic protruding from the container enters the cylindrical frame 17, and when the press B is further lowered, the lower end of the cylindrical frame 17 comes into contact with the upper end of the container side wall 13. Then, if the pressing body 14 is lowered in this state, the frame 17 will rise relatively against the biasing force of the spring 20, and the press head 15 of the pressing body 14 will move against the cylindrical frame 1.
The solid cosmetic powder protrudes downward from the lower end of the container 7 and enters the inner tray 11, further compressing and solidifying the powdered solid cosmetic to complete the filling process [FIG. 1(e)].

Finally, if necessary, the cloth 21 is placed on top of the IR-filled powdered solid cosmetic and pressed again to apply the mesh pattern of the cloth 21 to the surface of the cosmetic [FIG. 1(r)]. In addition, cloth 21
Patterning can be done in the process shown in Figures 1(d) and (e).

<Example 2> Next, a second embodiment will be described based on FIG. 4.

This is done by connecting not only the near compressor C as the powder conveying device 5 but also a suction pump 24 to the filling mold 1 via a suction pipe 22 and a valve 23, and using this suction pump 24 to extract air from the filling mold 1. In this case, the piston 2 was made of sintered metal, air was removed from the side wall 13 of the cylinder device above the piston 2, and the closing body 9 was The lower opening of the filling mold I is sealed and sealed.

The other points are the same as the first embodiment, so the explanation thereof will be omitted.

<Other Examples> In the above examples, a case was described in which powdered solid cosmetics were filled and pressed into the inner tray 11 of a compact container. When directly filling powdered solid cosmetics, the filling is done in exactly the same manner as above.

In addition, in a container 11 containing a powdered solid cosmetic in a semi-solidified state,
Although not shown in the drawings, the following methods and devices can be used for filling the inside.

■ A device is provided in which the near compressor C is omitted from the device shown in FIG.
The powdered solid cosmetic is sucked into the filling mold 1 by this air flow.
Pack it into a semi-solid state and temporarily press it.

■ A filling machine consisting of a cylinder and a piston is installed, the cylinder with the piston removed is placed against the mouth of the container, and a predetermined amount of solid cosmetic powder is poured into the opening at the top of the container. A piston is inserted from the opening at the two ends of the cylinder to compress the powdered solid cosmetic inside for preliminary pressing, and then the final pressing is carried out in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the powdered solid cosmetic is temporarily pressed to a state higher than the side wall of the container before the main pressing, and the main pressing is performed while holding it with a frame, which is difficult to do with conventional methods. It can be directly filled and pressed into containers with lids, and since the powdered solid cosmetics are surrounded by the frame, the powdered solid cosmetics do not scatter, which prevents the powdered solid cosmetics from being wasted and reduces the working atmosphere. There is no risk of contamination and harm to the health of workers, and since the area around the container is not contaminated, there is no need for a subsequent cleaning process. In addition, because the powdered solid cosmetic is temporarily pressed into a semicircular state higher than the side wall of the container, the powdered solid cosmetic is easier to handle, the subsequent filling operation is easier, and the main pressing process can be automated. has become easier.

According to the apparatus of the present invention, in the temporary pressing process, it is only necessary to fill the filling mold with the powdered solid cosmetic by air flow, and in the main pressing process, the press machine can be used to temporarily press the powdered solid cosmetic. The filling press operation can be performed quickly and easily by simply lowering the container into a container.
