Description

Apparatus for manufacturing three-dimensional cosmetics {APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING THE COSMETICS IN THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE}

Embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus, and more particularly, to a three-dimensional cosmetic manufacturing apparatus.

Cosmetics having a solid form are produced by filling a mold with a powder or liquid material. However, when the cosmetic material is filled in the mold, it is difficult to precisely fill the cosmetic material into a desired shape due to the external environment.

Conventional solid cosmetics generally have a simple columnar shape without a three-dimensional effect, but consumer needs are diversified, and research to manufacture cosmetics having various shapes in order to differentiate cosmetics visually is continuing.

However, implementing a three-dimensional shape is more difficult in terms of manufacturing than implementing a conventional simple shape, and in particular, it is difficult to implement mass production while ensuring quality so that all cosmetics have a uniform three-dimensional effect.

The present invention provides a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus capable of stably manufacturing cosmetics.

One aspect of the present invention provides an assembly unit having a mold assembly having a flexible mold mounted therein, a loading unit into which a cap cover is introduced, and a first suction nozzle for adsorbing the cap cover and assembling it to the mold assembly, the cap cover a filling unit having a filling nozzle inserted into the injection opening of the mold to fill the cosmetic material into the mold; a cooling unit for cooling the mold assembly filled with the cosmetic material; and the cooled cosmetic material and the cap cover. It provides a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus comprising a separation unit separated from the mold assembly, and an unloading unit for discharging the cap cover separated from the mold assembly.

In addition, it is disposed between the loading unit and the assembly unit, may further include a heating unit for preheating the mold.

In addition, the separation unit is installed to ascend and descend, and a second suction nozzle for adsorbing the cap cover, and a gripper for gripping the cap cover when the second suction nozzle adsorbing the cap cover is raised It may be disposed below the mold assembly, and may include a biasing unit for pressing the mold so that the cosmetic material cooled in the mold by lifting and lowering is separated.

In addition, the separation unit may further include a stop plate disposed under the gripper and in contact with an upper surface of the mold assembly.

Also, in the cooling unit, a cooling gas for cooling the mold assembly may move in a direction opposite to a movement direction of the mold assembly.

Other aspects, features and advantages other than those described above will become apparent from the following drawings, claims, and detailed description of the invention.

The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention can manufacture cosmetics having various two-dimensional or three-dimensional three-dimensional shapes. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus may manufacture cosmetics having various three-dimensional shapes by mounting a cap cover on a mold assembly and filling the mold with cosmetic materials.

One side of the cooling unit 140 may have an inlet 141 through which the mold assembly 10 is introduced and an outlet 142 through which the mold assembly 10 is discharged. The mold assembly 10 enters the inlet 141 and moves along a preset path, and then is discharged at the outlet 142 .

The cooling unit 140 has a gas inlet 143 disposed adjacent to the outlet 142 and a gas outlet 144 disposed adjacent to the inlet. The cooling gas flows in from the gas inlet 143 , moves through the internal space of the cooling unit 140 , and then is discharged through the gas outlet 144 .

In the cooling unit 140 , the moving direction of the mold assembly 10 and the moving direction of the cooling gas may be set to be opposite to each other. The temperature of the cooling gas at the outlet 142 from which the mold assembly 10 is discharged is the lowest, and the temperature of the cooling gas is set at the highest at the inlet 141 through which the mold assembly 10 is introduced.

When the mold assembly 10 is introduced into the inlet 141 , it is in contact with the cooling gas of a relatively high temperature and heat exchanges, and as the mold assembly 10 moves, it can exchange heat with the cooling gas of a lower temperature. The cosmetic material filled in the mold M may be gradually cured, so that the product may be firmly and uniformly formed.

In particular, by reducing the temperature difference at the inflow portion, it is possible to prevent cracks in the cosmetic due to a sudden temperature change. In addition, since the cooling gas has the lowest temperature in the discharged portion, the cosmetic material in the finally discharged mold M can be completely and uniformly hardened.
