Meanwhile, at least a partial region 105 of the case 101 may be formed of a transparent material such as glass so that the inside of the cavity can be seen.

For example, the case 101 may be divided into an upper opaque area and a lower transparent area.

In this case, the capsule input unit 200 is disposed to correspond to the opaque area of the case 101 , and the formulation solidification unit 500 is to be disposed to correspond to the transparent area of the case 101 . can

Accordingly, the capsule input unit 200 may also be referred to as a capsule seating part or a capsule input/receiving part.

The plurality of capsules may contain raw materials for manufacturing a mask pack of various components, and it is preferable that raw materials of different components are accommodated in each capsule.

In addition, the capsule input unit 200 may be provided with a plurality of inlets 220 into which the capsule is inserted and seated. The number, size and shape of the inlet 220 may vary depending on the number, size and shape of the capsule.

Synergy is a phenomenon in which water is formed on the surface of the material when stored at room temperature (ex. The clear water that occurs on the surface of yogurt flows from the polymer inside the yogurt). The concentration of the material may be different.

In particular, when a glue gun type that melts and squeezes is applied, the concentration of the material discharged at the initial stage and the concentration of the material discharged at the end may be different due to the material syneresis phenomenon.

Therefore, it is not possible to use a glue gun type, and a method is needed to ensure uniformity of heating and heat conduction until the material is liquefied.

In particular, since the hydrogel material is a highly sensitive material, a precise heat source and uniform heat management are required.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the capsule input unit 200 includes an induction heating unit 230a for induction heating of the hydrogel formulation and a stirring unit 230b for rotating a magnet accommodated in the capsule. may include

In a state in which a capsule made of a metal material is placed on the binding part 230 , when an alternating current, particularly, a high frequency alternating current flows through the heating coil, a magnetic field is generated in the heating coil. Due to the electromagnetic induction effect by the magnetic field, an eddy current is induced in the capsule. By this eddy current, Joule heat is generated in the resistance component of the capsule, and the capsule is heated.

The capsule input unit 200 may liquefy the hydrogel formulation accommodated in one or more of the plurality of capsules 210a, 210b, 210c, 210d, and 210e injected by driving the induction heating unit 230a.

In addition, the stirring unit 230b may further include a magnetic field shielding film disposed on the outer surface of the ring-shaped electromagnet. It is possible to prevent interference with the induction heating unit 230a using magnetic force during the stirring operation.

Even when the hydrogel material is dissolved by heating to a uniform temperature, material aggregation may occur.

In addition, since the material dissolution temperature is also random due to the random work of the hydrogel material, the state of the material in the area where heat is uniformly transmitted and the area where heat is not uniformly transmitted may be significantly different. there is.

In order to manufacture a high-quality mask pack, it is necessary to secure the uniformity of the discharged material. Therefore, in addition to controlling the temperature for dissolving the material, a mixer capable of balancing the material inside the capsule is required.

When an external stirrer is applied, differences in material concentration may occur due to inflow of air and evaporation of moisture.

In addition, in the capsule open structure, moisture evaporation and air inflow may be caused, and the color may become cloudy as the hydrogel comes into contact with air, thereby impairing the visual quality of the final mask pack.

If the formulation flowability is not high and the hydrogel can be solidified at room temperature, a heating or cooling element in the lower formulation solidification unit 500 may not be disposed. However, there is a problem that the change in temperature is high and the quality variability is high.

Rapid cooling and curing of the formulation by disposing a cooling element in the formulation solidification unit 500 of the hydrogel discharge device 100 for rapid manufacturing may cause release (falling) between the pre-discharge formulation and the post-discharge formulation.

Accordingly, the formulation solidification unit 500 maintains the liquid properties of the formulation for a predetermined time by maintaining the set temperature within 50 to 100 degrees using a heating element, thereby solving the interfacial release problem.

In the case of using a heating element, since the rate of heat loss is slower than when the cooling element is turned on, heat transfer is possible for the pre-solidified contour formulation, so that the bonding surface can be melted and the interfacial release problem can be partially solved. In addition, when the formulation penetrates and enters, the flowability is maintained to dig into the empty space, so that the empty space between the interfaces can be minimized.

6 is a view referenced in the description of the mask pack manufactured by the hydrogel ejection device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the formulation may be discharged in the order of T zone 601 → eye area 602 → nasolabial fold 603 → mouth area 604 → U zone 605 . That is, the dispensing of the formulation for each part may proceed in the vertical direction.

According to the embodiment, a one-part one-component discharge method corresponding to the first-priority solution according to the skin condition measurement, a one-site two-component discharge method corresponding to the first and second priority solutions according to the skin condition measurement, or a skin condition A mask pack can be manufactured by discharging the formulation according to the one-site multi-formulation dispensing method for complete customization for each part according to the measurement.

In addition, if there is a contour discharge before discharging each of the T zone 601 , the eye area 602 , the nasolabial folds 603 , the mouth area 604 , and the U zone 605 , the inner region of the region may be discharged after the contour is formed.

On the other hand, by maintaining the liquid phase of the previously discharged formulation through the heating element of the lower discharge plate 510 , it is possible to solve the problem of interfacial release between the pre/post discharge formulations.

On the other hand, according to the embodiment, when the discharge of the T zone 601, the eye area 602, the nasolabial fold 603, the mouth area 604, and the U zone 605 is completed, a handle shape is added to the upper left and right sides as shown in FIG.

7 to 9 are views referenced in the description of the hydrogel.

Referring to FIG. 7, in the hydrogel, gums such as carrageenan are solidified (Gelation) while forming helix formation. The conditions for hydrogel solidification are 1) high hydrogel concentration, 2) low temperature , 3) a high concentration of cations such as potassium (K+), three conditions.

Since there is a high possibility of interfacial release between the formulation in which the Helix-Helix intra-aggregation has already been performed and the newly discharged formulation, the present invention maintains a medium-high temperature on the discharge surface through the heating unit of the formulation solidification unit 500, , it is possible to continuously maintain the liquefaction of the formulation. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent solidification of the pre-discharge formulation and induce inter-aggregation between the pre-discharge formulation and the post-discharge formulation.

8 is a diagram referenced in the description regarding temperature and syneresis, and FIG. 9 is a table of formulation properties according to temperature.

8 is a graph showing the weight loss rate over time as a fraction for each temperature of 4 degrees (810), 25 degrees (820), 35 degrees (830), and 50 degrees (840) of the hydrogel formulation.

Referring to FIG. 8 , it can be seen that, in common, up to about 50° C., the higher the temperature, the faster the syneresis rate. In addition, at room temperature, it is possible to visualize the syneresis only after 2-3 minutes have elapsed.

Referring to FIG. 9 , the hydrogel at -4 degrees or less is solid, and the gel component holds the component and moisturizer water, so there is almost no syneresis. In addition, when the temperature is too low, there is a possibility that the gel itself freezes.

The hydrogel at -4 degrees to 3 degrees is a solid, which is the temperature at which it solidifies in the current manufacturing process of the company. If the cooling chamber temperature is set to -3 degrees to 0 degrees, rapid solidification (Gelation) may proceed in the temperature range of about 0 degrees to 3 degrees inside.

Hydrogels at 5 to 15 degrees are solid, and syneresis can be visualized when left for 2-3 minutes at a temperature lower than room temperature.

The hydrogel at room temperature is solid, and there is a syneresis phenomenon, which is why it is moistly wet when using the hydrogel pack without separate essence spraying.

The hydrogel at 55 degrees, in a solid-liquid state, at a temperature of 55 degrees or more, a solid gel begins to become a liquid gel. Therefore, in order to maintain the liquid phase, it is necessary to maintain a temperature higher than 55 degrees.

Therefore, the present invention is provided with a heating unit in each unit to manage the temperature at an appropriate level.

On the other hand, 70 degrees to 75 degrees is the temperature for liquefaction in the current manufacturing process of the company, and the gel viscosity based on 70 degrees is 5000 to 7000 CPs.

The hydrogel at 80 degrees is a liquid, and the higher the temperature, the lower the viscosity and the higher the flowability. However, if the flowability is excessive, cooling control may be difficult, and there is a possibility of evaporation of moisture in the gel.

Therefore, temperature management is very important when using a hydrogel.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, heat applied to the material in the capsule and the material temperature can be uniformly managed by uniformly heating around the capsule using induction heating.

In addition, a magnet is disposed in the capsule so that the material can be completely dissolved without agglomeration, and the hydrogel ejection device 100 is provided with a stirring unit 230b that rotates the magnet, thereby more precisely controlling the hydrogel there is.

In addition, checking and controlling the temperature by the temperature probe in the capsule may vary greatly depending on the probe site. In order to prevent this, more preferably, the heating and discharging of the hydrogel formulation in the capsule can be controlled by using the cation concentration.

Meanwhile, the numerical values illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 may vary depending on the type and concentration of the formulation. In addition, the temperature values exemplified in other parts of the present specification may also vary depending on the type and concentration of the formulation.

10 is a view referenced in the description of the capsule to be put into the hydrogel dispensing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10 , the capsule 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a basically cylindrical shape, and an IH contact surface 1030 may be formed on the side of the cylindrical shape to enable induction heating.

The IH contact surface 1030 may be formed of a stainless steel material. Alternatively, the IH contact surface 1030 may be formed of a metal and non-ferrous mixture (Mix) material capable of induction heating.

In addition, it is possible to secure the uniformity of heat conduction through the front surface Teflon coating on the inner part that is in contact with the material.

On the other hand, when the hydrogel comes into contact with air, the color may become cloudy and impair the visual quality of the final mask pack.

Therefore, the capsule 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention, by sealing the upper and lower portions (1010, 1020, 1050) with silicone, it is possible to ensure the capsule sealing property, it is possible to prevent air contact.

The upper end of the capsule 1000 may be sealed using silicones 1010 and 1020 such as LSR (Liquid Injection Silicone Rubber). In addition, the upper end of the capsule 1000 may be formed of a double lead sealing structure (1010, 1020).

When a user or a service provider inserts the capsule 1000 into the hydrogel dispensing device 100 , the upper lid sealing 1010 may be peeled off one layer before being put in. When one layer of the upper lead sealing 1010 is peeled off, there is a thin silicone film 1020, so that when the capsule 1000 is pressed with a syringe, it is possible to maintain cleanliness and airtightness.

By using the double lead sealing structure (1010, 1020), it is possible to print a logo for distinguishing capsules, to ensure convenience in use and storage, and to prevent product deterioration.

A small magnet 1040 such as a magnetic bar may be accommodated inside the capsule 1000 . The magnet 1040 may be rotated according to the electromagnet control of the stirring unit 230a to stir the material.

The lower end 1050 of the capsule 1000 is formed of a heat-resistant silicone material made of Teflon material, so that heat resistance and heat conduction uniformity can be ensured.

In addition, a flow path insertion hole 1051 may be formed in a tens-shaped line in the central portion of the lower end 1050 of the capsule 1000 . The flow path insertion port 1051 is a flow path through which the hydrogel formulation is to be discharged, and the internal contents do not leak out even when the capsule 1000 is shaken due to silicone sealing properties.

11 is a diagram referenced in the description of the binding structure of the capsule according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 12 to 14 are diagrams referenced in the description of the ion concentration sensing according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 12 is a front view of the binding unit 230 schematically illustrated so that the position where the cation detection sensor is disposed can be easily identified, and FIG. It is a top view of the part 230 .

11 to 13 , the capsule 1000 may come down from the upper direction to the lower direction to be bound to the binding part 230 .

The binding part 230 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a heating coil 1131 for induction heating may be disposed on the cylindrical side surface 1130 thereof.

Accordingly, it is possible to uniformly heat the capsule around the capsule 1000 to be bound, and uniform thermal management is possible. In addition, by induction heating in all directions around 360 degrees of the capsule 1000, it is possible to maximize the heating and dissolution efficiency of the hydrogel material.

The heating coil 1131 may be a plurality of stacked circular coils or a spiral heating coil connected as one.

Meanwhile, the binding unit 230 may include an electromagnet 1132 for stirring disposed at the lower end 1139 . For example, the stirring electromagnet 1132 may be a ring-type electromagnet (solenoid).

The controller 150 may supply and control a current to the electromagnet 1132 for stirring to form a magnetic field, and rotate the magnet 1040 inside the capsule 1000 .

On the other hand, the capsule input unit 200 and / or the binding unit 230, an electric wire (not shown) for supplying power to the heating coil 1131 and the electromagnet 1132 for stirring, an inverter (not shown), etc. may include

Meanwhile, a first magnetic field shielding film 1134 may be disposed between the heating coil 1131 and the electromagnet 1132 to shield the magnetic field generated by the heating coil 1131 . Accordingly, it is possible to prevent interference with the electromagnet 1132 using magnetic force during the induction heating operation.

In addition, a second magnetic field shielding film 1135 may be disposed on the outer surface of the electromagnet 1132 to shield the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet 1132 . Accordingly, it is possible to prevent interference with the heating coil 1131 using magnetic force during the stirring operation.

That is, the binding part 230 according to the present invention may be formed in a double shielding structure.

The capsule input unit 200 may include a syringe 250 for discharging the hydrogel formulation in the capsule 1000 to the outside of the capsule 1000 by compressing the capsule 1000 .

For example, the syringe 250 may include a structure of plungers 1110, 1120, and 1125 and a driving unit (not shown).

The plungers 1110 , 1120 , and 1125 may include a moving member 1110 and compression members 1120 and 1225 . In addition, the syringe 250 may further include a driving unit (not shown) for moving the moving member 1110 . For example, the moving member 1110 is moved by a motor (not shown) and a conversion means (not shown) such as a ball screw that converts the rotational force of the motor into linear motion.

Accordingly, the moving member 1110 may move up and down to compress the capsule 1000 .

The pressing members 1120 and 1225 are disposed at the lower end of the moving member 1110 and may be formed to have a larger cross-sectional area than the moving member 1110 .

The compression members 1120 and 1225 may compress the upper sealing silicone of the capsule 1000 . In this case, the tip 1255 is preferably siliconized. The end portions 1255 of the plungers 1110, 1120, and 1125 are treated with silicone, so that they can be completely in close contact with the inner surface of the capsule 1000 and discharged without leakage.

Accordingly, it is possible to prevent separation of the internal material of the capsule 1000 and the outflow of diluent. For example, even if the capsule 1000 is turned over while the lead seal of the capsule 1000 is removed, separation can be prevented. In addition, there is an advantage in terms of hygiene by preventing direct contact between the plungers 1110 , 1120 , and 1125 and the inner material of the capsule 1000 . In addition, it has the advantage of being able to discharge without material leakage due to the perfect adhesion between the silicones.

Meanwhile, a flow path connection part 1133 connected to the flow path 310 may be formed at the lower end 1139 of the binding part 230 .

Referring to FIG. 12 , the flow path 310 is connected to the inside of the capsule 1000 through the flow path connection part 1133 and the flow path insertion part (see 1051 of FIG. 10 ) formed in a cross shape at the lower end 1050 of the capsule 1000 . can be connected

Referring to FIG. 13A , a ring-shaped electromagnet 1131 may be disposed at a lower end 1139 of the binding unit 230 , and a shielding film 1135 may be disposed on an outer surface of the ring-shaped electromagnet 1131 . In addition, the flow path connection part 1133 may be formed at the center of the lower end 1139 of the binding part 230 .

Referring to FIG. 13B , a cation detection sensor 1300 may be disposed at an end of the flow path 310 . In addition, the ion detection sensor 1300 may be disposed on the flow path connection part 1133 .

The ion detection sensor 1300 may be a miniature ring-type probe. The ion detection sensor 1300 may be formed to correspond to the shape and size of the end of the flow path. Alternatively, the ion detection sensor 1300 may be inserted into the end of the flow path 310 or the end of the flow path 310 may be inserted into the ion detection sensor 1300 .

The ion detection sensor 1300 may be a sensor that detects the concentration of positive ions, and preferably may detect the concentration of potassium (K+) ions.

14 is a diagram illustrating a phase change and a cation concentration change of a hydrogel material according to temperature.

14 and 7, the liquid phase (solution) is almost water-like, Double helix formation is a fluid solid state, Helix-Helix intra-aggregation is a jelly-like solid state, Double helix formation in solution, Helix -Helix intra-aggregation increases the cation concentration to decrease. In addition, the higher the temperature, the higher the concentration of cations inside the capsule.

A cation, especially potassium, is a factor that has a great influence on the physical properties of a material and affects inter-bonding between polymers. For example, in general, the higher the composition of cations in the material, the higher the stiffness and elasticity, and the higher the TG (Gelling Temperature) and TM (Melting Temperature) values may be a material.

As the temperature of the material inside the capsule increases and becomes liquefied, the concentration of potassium (K+) ions inside the solution increases, and internal equilibrium can be achieved above a certain temperature.

Since estimating the phase of the hydrogel through temperature measurement has a large deviation depending on the position of the temperature probe, it is better to estimate the state of the phase by checking the concentration of cations that are more likely to be uniformly distributed depending on the state of the material. The accuracy is higher.

In addition, since the change value of the cation is larger than the change value of the temperature in the interval between T1 and T2, which is the middle section, it may be more accurate to estimate the phase by sensing the cation in the middle section.

T1 may be the temperature at which the material is liquefied at the ambient temperature of the TG value, and T2 may be the main melting temperature of the material.

Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, by sensing the concentration of cations having a direct correlation with the phase of the material, heating and discharging can be controlled accordingly.

In addition, according to the embodiment, the phase of the hydrogel can be more accurately checked by performing temperature sensing together with the cation concentration sensing, and the degree of heating can be increased or decreased according to the confirmed phase, and whether or not to be discharged can be controlled. can

On the other hand, since the cation detection sensor 1300 is difficult to be located inside the capsule and requires direct contact with the material, it is preferably disposed in the flow path connection unit 1133 .

Referring to FIG. 20 , the hydrogel dispensing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention provides skin condition information from an external electronic device, for example, the above-described skin measuring device 50 through the communication unit 160 . can be received (S2010).

Based on the skin condition information, a plurality of capsules accommodating the hydrogel formulation may be injected into the hydrogel dispensing device 100 (S2020).

Based on the skin condition information, a user or a store employee may put a capsule of an appropriate customized ingredient into the hydrogel dispensing device 100 .

Alternatively, based on the skin condition information, the hydrogel dispensing device 100 may select a capsule of an appropriate customized component from among a plurality of previously injected capsules.

On the other hand, as the heat source in the hydrogel ejection device 100 is driven, the hydrogel formulation accommodated in the plurality of capsules is moved (S2030).

For example, the hydrogel formulation accommodated in the plurality of capsules is liquefied by induction heating and moved to the flow passage 310, and the hydrogel formulation is heated to the flow passage 310 while maintaining the liquefied state. can be moved from the upper side to the lower side of the

According to the embodiment, the discharge surface may be divided into a plurality of areas, and the hydrogel formulation may be sequentially discharged to the outside with respect to the plurality of areas.

In addition, it can be sequentially discharged to the outside according to the components of the hydrogel formulation.

Thereafter, the discharged hydrogel formulation can be solidified to complete the mask pack (S2050).

21 is a flowchart of an operating method of a hydrogel dispensing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and in more detail shows a capsule binding and hydrogel material liquefaction algorithm in detail.

Referring to FIG. 21 , the material capsule accommodating the hydrogel formulation may be bound to the binding structure of the hydrogel dispensing device 100 ( S2110 ).

For example, when the user puts the capsule into the hydrogel dispensing device 100 , the capsule may be seated inside the capsule dispensing unit 200 . In addition, the capsule corresponding to the ejection order may be bound to the binding unit 230 .

When the capsule corresponding to the ejection order is bound to the binding unit 230 , the induction heating unit 230a may be operated to apply a temperature to the hydrogel material in the capsule and start dissolving the material (S2120). Heat source can be managed uniformly by applying heat evenly from the side of the capsule by induction heating method.

Meanwhile, the cation detection sensor 1300 disposed on the flow path connection unit 1133 may detect the current concentration of positive ions. Preferably, the cation detection sensor 1300 may detect the potassium (K+) concentration (S2130).

In addition, the cation detection sensor 1300 may detect whether the potassium (K+) concentration increases to a value greater than or equal to a predetermined value (S2130). The predetermined designated value may be T1 of FIG. 14 . T1 may be the temperature at which the material begins to liquefy at the ambient temperature of the TG value.

On the other hand, when the detected concentration of cations such as potassium reaches a predetermined value (S2130), the stirring unit 230b may operate to start material mixing (Mix) for stirring the materials in the capsule (S2140).

The control unit 150 may control the stirring unit 230b to operate when the detected concentration of cations such as potassium reaches the predetermined value (S2130) (S2140).

The stirring unit 230b rotates the magnet accommodated in the capsule to perform stirring so that the material inside the capsule is well mixed. Accordingly, the dosage form accommodated in the capsule can be uniformly liquefied and moved without agglomeration.

The stirring unit 230b may include a ring-type electromagnet for rotating a magnet (magnetic bar), and by controlling the ring-type electromagnet to rotate the magnetic bar, it is possible to stir the material inside the capsule.

In the case of a material that is not uniformly dissolved, mixing may not be uniform due to material aggregation or the like. However, by rotating the magnet to physically stir, it is possible to sufficiently mix the materials so that they do not agglomerate.

On the other hand, the cation detection sensor 1300 may continuously monitor the potassium (K+) concentration during the dissolution process of the formulation in the capsule, and the sensed potassium concentration may be transmitted to the control unit 150 .

When the potassium concentration detected by the cation detection sensor 1300 reaches an equilibrium state (S2150), the control unit 150 may control to discharge the hydrogel material to the flow path 310 bound to the capsule (S2160). ).

That is, when the capsule is seated on the binding unit 230 , the solidified formulation may be completely liquefied using the induction heating unit 230a and the stirring unit 230b of the binding unit 230 .

It is determined whether the potassium concentration is liquefied by reaching the equilibrium (Equilibrium) state (S2150), and when the material is liquefied, the liquefied formulation is transferred from the capsule to the flow path 310 by using a quantitative syringe structure. (S2160).

The quantitative syringe (Syringe) structure may be configured to move the plunger to apply pressure to the capsule to eject the formulation. In the case of discharging the material using the pneumatic method, moisture may evaporate when negative pressure is applied to control the discharge. Therefore, according to the present invention, the material can be discharged by applying physical pressure with a syringe.

On the other hand, the liquid formulation that has moved to the flow path 310 may maintain a liquefied state by the heating wire of the flow path 310 and the nozzle 410 .

The control unit 150 determines whether it is necessary to continue discharging the hydrogel formulation of the corresponding dispensing sequence (S2170), and when all the material is consumed or the required amount is all discharged, the induction heating unit 230a, the stirring unit 230b) , it is possible to end the pressurization of the syringe (S2180).

On the other hand, the hydrogel formulation corresponding to the discharge order may be discharged onto the discharge plate through the nozzle 410 through a syringe ball-screw control.

Until the material of the last discharging order is discharged, the hydrogel formulation pre-discharged by the hot wire of the discharge plate maintains the formulation flowability and may be maintained in a standby state before cooling.
