1 to 5, a household chemical product sales apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a product management unit 110, an order management unit 120, a scanning unit 130, and a product output unit 140. Include.

The product management unit 110 manages a plurality of household chemical products. Here, household chemical products are used in the sense of encompassing chemical products harmless to the human body used in everyday living spaces such as homes, offices, multi-use facilities such as cosmetics and detergents. The product management unit 110 may store the temperature and humidity differently according to the components of the household chemical product. In this case, storage information may be set in advance according to the type of household chemical product. For example, the product management unit 110 may maintain a constant temperature of a household chemical product using a Peltier device. Accordingly, it can be stored for a long period of time while minimizing changes in the properties of household chemical products even outdoors.

In addition, the product management unit 110 may manage ingredient information of household chemical products and provide it to a user. For example, the product management unit 110 may receive user information including the user's age, allergy, disease, etc. from the user's terminal 20. In this case, the product management unit 110 may display safety level information whether the household chemical product contains harmful ingredient information in response to user information. The product management unit 110 may differently display whether a household chemical product is harmful according to user information. Accordingly, the user can avoid living chemical products that contain ingredients that may be harmful to them in advance.

In addition, the product management unit 110 may discharge a certain amount of household chemical products before ordering. This allows the user to discharge a predetermined household chemical product if he or she wants to use the household chemical product as a test. For example, the product management unit 110 may discharge the household chemical product to the back of the user's hand and obtain image information photographing the skin condition from the user after a certain period of time. In this case, when abnormal information such as skin color, hives, and spots is confirmed from the image information, the product management unit 110 may stop the sale of the corresponding household chemical product. Accordingly, a user can test a small amount and directly check a household chemical product suitable for him/her.

In addition, the product management unit 110 may manage inventory of household chemical products. For example, the product management unit 110 may determine the residual amount of household chemical products in real time and output a notification signal when the amount is less than a preset residual amount. The product management unit 110 may determine the remaining amount of household chemical products by using the weight change using the load cell. The product management unit 110 may determine the remaining amount of household chemical products by using a volume change using a displacement sensor. In this case, the product management unit 110 may communicate with an external management server to provide real-time inventory information of household chemical products to the manager. This is to enable managers to easily manage inventory of household chemical products remotely.

The order management unit 120 receives and manages order information for household chemical products from a user. In this case, the order information includes the type and capacity of household chemical products. The order management unit 120 may calculate the cost according to the order information and display it to the user. The order management unit 120 completes the order when the cost according to the order information is paid by the user. Thereafter, the order management unit 120 scans the container 10 and outputs the household chemical products ordered in the container 10. When payment processing is completed, the order management unit 120 may output payment information in the form of a user's terminal 20 or a receipt.

In addition, the order management unit 120 may output the adhesive label 30 on which the order information is printed. In this case, the user may use the label 30 by attaching it to the container 10. This is to prevent confusion by the user when using a household chemical product different from the information printed on the existing container 10 as the container 10 is recycled. In this case, it is also possible to print additional information on the adhesive label 30 in the form of an identification code. Such additional information may be encoded with ingredient information, usage method, precautions, manufacturing information, or an internet link address that can confirm it. Accordingly, the user can easily check specific information on the household chemical product he has ordered.

The scanning unit 130 three-dimensionally scans the container 10 provided by the user. For example, the scanning unit 130 scans the container 10 using a 3D scanner when the user places the container 10 at a designated position. The scanning unit 130 may measure the volume by measuring the total volume of the container 10. For example, the scan unit 130 may have a turntable 131 formed thereon to scan while rotating the container 10. In this case, the scanning unit 130 generates capacity information within an error range for the scanned container 10. This is then used to determine the capacity of the household chemical product output from the product output unit 140.

In addition, the scanning unit 130 may set the capacity of the container 10 by irradiating a laser to the center of the injection port 11 of the container 10 to measure the inner height of the container 10. The scanning unit 130 may set the irradiation position of the laser by scanning the injection hole 11 located at the upper end of the container 10. The scanning unit 130 may more accurately measure the volume in the container 10 and determine whether there is a residue therein. The scanning unit 130 may set the height by using a height difference between the inner bottom surface and the outer bottom surface of the container 10. In this case, if the height of the bottom surface inside the container 10 exceeds a preset value, the scanning unit 130 may determine that the contents are inside.

In addition, the scanning unit 130 may scan the capacity of the container 10 or the position of the injection port 11 using a vision image. The scanning unit 130 may photograph the container 10 from various angles and compare the previously stored container image information to specify the type of the container 10. In this case, the capacity of the container 10 and the location information of the injection port 11 may be stored in advance together with the container image information. The size or type of the nozzle of the product output unit 140 output to the container 10 may be varied according to the position or size of the injection port 11. The scanning unit 130 may acquire container information by recognizing identification information such as a trademark, model name, capacity information, barcode, and QR code printed on the outer surface through a vision image.

In addition, the scanning unit 130 may calculate the capacity based on an image photographed of the container 10 from the user terminal 20 or numerical information measured by applying VR technology. The scanning unit 130 receives the capacity of the container 10 input from the user terminal 20 and outputs the received capacity to the product output unit 140. The scanning unit 130 may calculate the total amount of capacity when the user photographs the plurality of containers 10 with the user terminal 20. This is to check the capacity of the entire container 10 and output it to the product output unit 140 when a household chemical product to be purchased is to be divided into several containers 10 and stored. Accordingly, it is possible to measure the capacity of the container 10 more easily and simply by using the user terminal 20.

The product output unit 140 outputs a household chemical product corresponding to the order information to the container 10. The product output unit 140 recycles the container 10 used by the user to output a new household chemical product. More specifically, the product output unit 140 includes a gripping unit 141 and a nozzle unit 142. The gripping part 141 is formed as a means for fixing the container 10. For example, the holding portion 141 may fix the periphery of the container 10 using an air bag. The gripping part 141 may be fixed by gripping and fixing the container 10 by a robot arm formed of a plurality of joints. The gripping part 141 serves to fix the container 10 to a preset position.

The nozzle unit 142 of the product output unit 140 outputs a certain amount of household chemical products according to the order information. In this case, the nozzle unit 142 may be replaced with various sizes according to the injection port 11 of the container 10. For example, the nozzle unit 142 may change its position using a three-axis motor. The product output unit 140 may coordinate the position of the injection port 11 of the container 10 to move the nozzle unit 142. This is to place the nozzle unit 142 in the injection port 11 so that the daily chemical products are not wasted and accommodated in the container 10. The inclination of the nozzle unit 142 may be varied according to physical properties such as viscosity of a household chemical product. This is to select an injection method that is optimized for the physical properties of household chemical products.

In addition, the product output unit 140 compares the capacity of the household chemical product input in the order information with the capacity of the container 10 obtained through the scanning unit 130. The product output unit 140 may stop the output when the capacity of the household chemical product on the order information exceeds the capacity of the container 10. This is to prevent the household chemical products from overflowing and wasting in the container 10. The product output unit 140 may output and stop the household chemical product only as much as the capacity of the container 10 when the capacity of the household chemical product on the order information exceeds the capacity of the container 10. Accordingly, it is possible to minimize waste of household chemical products.

In addition, the product output unit 140 may allow a user to selectively use a manual mode or an automatic mode. Here, the manual mode is a method in which the user can manually put the household chemical products into the container 10, and the automatic mode is to automatically put the household chemical products in the container 10. The product output unit 140 may form the nozzle unit 142 in a gun type so that the user can inject it manually. In this case, a lever is formed in the nozzle unit 142 to control the output of the household chemical product. Accordingly, the user can put the household chemical product in the container 10 in the amount desired by the user.

6 is an Esi diagram for explaining how to sterilize a container in a sterilization unit of the household chemical product sales apparatus according to FIG.

1 to 6, the household chemical product sales apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a sterilization unit 150.

The sterilization unit 150 may sterilize by spraying a cleaning solution into the container 10. The sterilization unit 150 sterilizes the container 10 before discharging the daily chemical products into the container 10 to minimize contamination of the daily chemical products. In this case, the cleaning liquid used is composed of components harmless to the human body. The sterilization unit 150 may spray a cleaning solution into and out of the container 10. The sterilizing unit 150 may spray a cleaning liquid to the outside of the container 10 rotating on the turntable. The sterilization unit 150 may output a household chemical product when the sterilization treatment is completed.

In addition, the sterilization unit 150 may be formed in a bar shape inclined at a predetermined angle on the bottom surface. In this case, the container 10 may be mounted on the sterilization unit 150. An injection port is formed at one end of the sterilization unit 150 so that a predetermined cleaning solution can be injected into the container 10. A sterilization lamp that outputs a preset wavelength may be formed outside the sterilization unit 150. The sterilization lamp can sterilize the inner surface of the container 10 for a preset time. Accordingly, in the case of the container 10 having the inside formed to a certain depth, after spraying the cleaning solution, the inside can be double sterilized with a sterilization lamp.

Referring to FIG. 7, the apparatus 100 for selling household chemicals according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include an advertisement unit 160.

The advertisement unit 160 may expose a preset advertisement through a display. The advertisement unit 160 may analyze the order information input by the user through pre-stored big data and machine learning to expose an advertisement for a household chemical product having a purchase association of more than a preset value. For example, if the daily chemistry information on the user's order information is a senior shampoo, an advertisement for a hair dye may be exposed. This is using big data that users who purchase senior shampoos have a high purchase rate of hair dyes. Accordingly, it is possible to increase sales by recommending customized household chemical products to users.

In addition, the advertisement unit 160 may form an identification code including advertisement information on the label 30 when the adhesive label 30 is printed on the container 10. When the identification code is obtained with the user terminal 20, it may be linked to advertisement information for the corresponding household chemical product or its manufacturer. When the user views the advertisement information for a predetermined time or longer, a reward may be paid to the account of the user terminal 20. Here, the reward is used in the sense of including points, coupons, and electronic money. In this case, the advertisement unit 160 may pay compensation to the account of the orderer and the viewer, respectively, when the orderer of the household chemical product and the viewer who watched the advertisement information are different. Accordingly, the orderer can receive additional compensation by promoting it to others while recycling the container 10, thereby maximizing the advertising effect.
