Mixing device and a dispenser having the same {MIXING DEVICE AND DISPENSER HAVING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a dispenser having a mixing device capable of mixing a plurality of materials.

Generally, in order to give a desired color to the hair, the hair may be dyed or discolored, or after the hair is decolored. To dye or bleach hair, two types of drugs are used. For example, when dyeing, a dye and a coating agent are used.

The two types of drugs may be used separately, but they may be mixed and dyed at once. In order to mix the two kinds of drugs, a method is used in which they are mixed by discharging each drug from one of the received tubes into one container.

In this mixing process, mixing two kinds of drugs evenly becomes an important factor in improving the quality of dyeing and the like. However, fine mixing may also complicate the structure of the mixing device by means of a fan-like configuration that rotates for stirring.

One object of the present invention is to provide a dispenser having a mixing device of a different type than the prior art.

Another object of the present invention is to allow the two types of materials to be finely mixed than before by means of a mixing device and to have a simple structure by fixed elements.

Mixing device according to an embodiment of the present invention for realizing the above object includes a body, a mixing unit and a guide.

The body has a first inlet channel through which the first material is introduced and a second inlet channel through which the second material is introduced. The mixing unit is formed in the body so as to communicate with the inlet channels such that one of the first and second introduced materials flows radially from the central region toward the peripheral region surrounding the central region and the other Radially flow from the peripheral area towards the central area to allow mixing with each other. The guide portion is formed to communicate with the mixing unit to guide the mixed first and second substances to be discharged.

According to one aspect of the invention, the mixing unit is configured such that the first and second materials are mixed in such a way that they are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the central region. A distributor may be formed in the inner space of the guide part spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the guide part, and the first material may flow into the central area of the distributor and flow out into the mixing part which is a space between the distributor and the inner circumferential surface of the guide part. At this time, the body is formed with a circulation portion extending to surround the outer periphery of the guide portion, the second filing may flow along the circulation portion may be introduced into the mixing portion.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the distributor and the guide portion is formed with opening hole (s) spaced apart in each circumferential direction, the opening hole (s) of the dispenser and the opening hole (s) of the guide portion; Arranged so as not to lie on a straight line along the radial direction. The first and second flow channels connecting the first or second inlet channel and the mixing section respectively extend in different planes parallel to each other.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a dispenser includes a housing in which first and second materials are stored, and a mixing device in communication with the housing.

According to an aspect of the invention, the housing includes a first housing for receiving the first material, and a second housing for receiving the second material.

According to another aspect of the present invention, an injection unit is connected to communicate with the guide unit such that the first and second substances are mixed and injected during the pressing operation.

The mixing device according to the present invention configured as described above allows the first and second materials supplied through the inlet channels of the body to interfere with each other through different paths in the peripheral region or vice versa in the central region of the mixing unit. As it is configured to be guided to be mixed and discharged, the fixed structure alone allows the first and second materials to be more finely mixed.

Dispensers with such mixing devices are simple in construction and allow the materials for hair dye to be dispensed with well mixed.

Hereinafter, a mixing device and a hair dye dispenser having the same according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view schematically showing a dispenser 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to this figure, the dispenser 10 includes a mixing device 100, a housing 200, and an injection device 300.

The mixing device 100 is disposed between the housing 200 and the dispensing device 300, and mixes the first and second substances or medicaments supplied from the housing 200 and then supplies them to the dispensing device 300. The first and second materials may each be different kinds of materials. For example, if the first material is a dye, the second material may be a coating.

The housing 200 accommodates the first and second materials, and the injection device 300 has a structure for causing the mixed materials to be evenly sprayed on the hair and the like.

The mixing device 100, the housing 200 and the injection device 300 are each detachably coupled from each other. This makes it possible to clean or repair the material, and when the material is used up, the material can be filled or replaced.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the hair dye dispenser 10 of FIG. 1.

The lower portion of the mixing device 100 is in communication with the housing 200 and the upper portion is in communication with the injection device 300. The mixing device 100 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

The housing 200 may include a first housing 210 storing a first material and a second housing 220 storing a second material. The first and second housings 210 and 220 may be combined to be partitioned with each other by a partition or the like, but may be divided into separate containers as in the present embodiment. The first and second housings 210 and 220 may be wrapped to be bundled together simply by a cover 230 such as a plastic wrap. Alternatively, a structure such as a frame accommodating the first and second housings 210 and 220 therein may be provided.

The injection device 300 comprises a body 310 with a lower opening. One or more injection rods 320 protrude from the top of the body 310. The injection rod 320 extends inside the body 310 and communicates with the injection channel 330 supplied with the mixed materials from the mixing device 100. Together with the injection rod 320, rods that are independent of the injection of materials may protrude. The protruding rods can be used to straighten hair. When the injection device 300 is depressed, the force is transmitted to the housing 200 through the mixing device 100 so that the first and second housings 210 and 220 are depressed. This allows the first and second materials stored therein to be discharged from them and mixed through the mixing device 100 to be sprayed out through the injection device 300.

3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the mixing device 100 of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the mixing device 100 of FIG. 2, and FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 3. Specifically, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the direction along the line III-III of FIG. 4, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the direction along the line IV-IV of FIG. 3.

Referring to FIG. 3, the body of the mixing device 100 may be classified into a first body portion 101 and a second body portion 102. The first body portion 101 and the second body portion 102 may be formed separately from each other and then assembled or integrally manufactured. The first inflow channel 141 or the second inflow channel 151 is opened to communicate with the outside through one end of the first body portion 101, respectively, on both sides of the first body portion 101. An upper end of the first housing 210 is inserted into the first inflow channel 141, and an upper end of the second housing 220 is inserted into the second inflow channel 151. The first and second inlet channels 141 and 151 are in communication with the first or second flow channel 142 or 152, respectively.

The first and second flow channels 142 and 152 are in communication with the mixing unit 110 formed on the second body portion 102 side. The mixing unit 110 is formed by a guide 120 having an outlet channel 121 as an inner space and a distributor 130 disposed in the outlet channel 121. The distributor 130 is disposed to be spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the guide portion 120 by a predetermined interval to form a mixing portion 122 which is a space therebetween.

The first material flowing along the first flow channel 142 flows into the central hole 131, which is an area opened in the center of the distributor 130, and then flows out of the mixing unit 122 through the outlet 132. {See arrow (A)}. The second material flowing through the second flow channel 152 flows along the circulation portion 125 extending to surround the outer circumferential surface of the guide portion 120 and then the mixing portion 122 through the inlet portion 123. Flows into {see arrow (B)}. The second material introduced into the mixing part 122 is blocked by the blocking part 133 and does not flow into the central hole 131 inside the distributor 130.

When the central hole 131 is referred to as the central region of the mixing unit 110 and the circulation portion 125 forming a closed curve or arc, which is approximately a circle, is referred to as the peripheral region, the first material flows from the central region toward the peripheral region. And the second material flows in the opposite direction. These first and second materials meet each other in the mixing section 122, which is the region between the central hole 131 and the circulation section 125, and thus through the discharge channel 121, in other words, the injection device 300. It flows into the injection channel 330 (see FIG. 2 above).

Outlet portion 132 is formed in one portion of the portion surrounding the central hole 131 of the distributor 130 and the blocking portion 133 is formed in the other portion. The outlet part 132 and the blocking part 133 may be alternately formed. When the first material flows from the central hole 131 to the mixing part 122 through the outlet part 132, the second material introduced into the mixing part 122 by the blocking part 133 is the central hole 131. ) Will not flow into.

Among the parts surrounding the discharge channel 121 of the guide part 120, an inlet part 123 is formed in one part and a blocking part 124 is formed in another part. When the second material is introduced into the mixing part 122 through the inlet part 123, the first material of the mixing part 122 does not leave the mixing part 122 by the blocking part 124.

4 and 5, the first material introduced into the central hole 131 flows out to the mixing unit 122 through the outlets 132 formed at three locations spaced apart along the circumferential direction. The first material is located in three spaced apart areas along the circumferential direction of the mixing part 122.

The second material flowing in the same trajectory as the circle surrounding the central hole 131 through the circulation part 125 flows into the mixing part 122 through the inlet part 123 formed to be spaced apart in three places along the circumferential direction. do. In the mixing part 122, the second material is positioned in three spaced apart areas along the circumferential direction.

In this mixing, the outlet portion 132 and the inlet portion 123 are not positioned on a straight line along the radial direction about the central hole 131. This causes the first material and the second material to be alternately positioned along the circumferential direction of the mixing part 122.

According to this configuration, the first and second materials are mixed with each other in six equal forms alternately along the circumferential direction. This allows them to be more finely mixed than when only the first and second materials meet each other. Furthermore, the mixing unit 110 does not include a configuration such as a rotating fan, but only employs a fixed distributor 130 or the like. This ensures that the configuration for the mixing of materials is not complicated, for example, requiring additional power.

The first flow channel 142 is disposed in a plane closer to the housing 200 (see FIG. 1) than the second flow channel 152. If the first body portion 101 and the second body portion 102 are separated and injected, considering that the first flow channel 142 and the second flow channel 152 are parallel to each other, it is easy to inject something to do.

Such mixing devices and hair dye dispensers having the same are not limited to the construction and manner of operation of the embodiments described above. The above embodiments may be configured such that various modifications may be made by selectively combining all or part of the embodiments.
