The capsules can be put into the shape of the seat structure without any additional ordering, so that the user's cognitive / physical burden can be reduced.

According to the embodiment, when the capsule is inserted into the capsule inlet, it can be recognized automatically.

On the other hand, the output unit 170 of the hydrogel dispensing apparatus 100 can visually / audibly feedback the presence or absence of the capsule.

For example, the hydrogel dispensing device 100 may recognize the input capsule, and perform voice notification upon diagnosis of the incompatible capsule.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, the display unit 191 of the output unit 170 may display the capsule seating state.

FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of a part of a channel of a hydrogel discharging device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

When the staff presses the start button of the hydrogel dispensing apparatus 100 input unit 110, each component formulation in the capsule can be liquefied by the heating and pushing structure and moved to the flow path 310.

For example, when the start button is pressed, the lower part of the capsule can be heated to 70 ° C to 75 ° C within 20 seconds by driving the hot-wire type heater under the capsule loading seat structure of the capsule injection part 200, Liquefied and switched to the ready state.

On the other hand, each formulation can be dynamically controlled according to the flow control algorithm to maintain the ready state.

On the other hand, the display 191 of the output unit 170 may display manufacturing information such as a remaining time and a current progress state (manufacturing site).

After the formulation in the capsule is liquefied, the formulation may be injected into each flow channel 310 by applying a high pressure under a push structure or a piston.

The flow path 310 may be made of silicon and the formulation may move in the nozzle direction by pneumatic control in the flow path 300 along each flow path 310. The liquid formulation can be moved downward as shown in FIG.

A contact type hot wire 320 type heating part is applied to each flow path 310 to maintain the liquid form state by maintaining the temperature at about 68 DEG C and the pneumatic pressure control can be controlled according to a moving algorithm in the flow path 310 to control the formulation ejection . That is, each component can be ready or moved by dynamically controlling the heating temperature and the pump pressure.

On the other hand, it is possible to maintain the ready state in the flow path 310 with respect to the remaining formulations except for the discharge formulations in accordance with the discharge order.

11A to 11C are views referred to the description of the nozzle 410 of the hydrogel dispensing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 11A is a front view of the nozzle 410, FIG. FIG. 11C illustrates a bottom view of the nozzle 410. FIG. 11C illustrates a bottom view of the nozzle 410. FIG.

11A to 11C, the formulation can be discharged by utilizing the multi-nozzle structure. The nozzle 410 may include a plurality of inlets 411 and a plurality of inlets 412 corresponding to the plurality of flow paths 310.

It is possible to dynamically control the dispensing formulation in accordance with the dispensing order by the flow path algorithm and dispense the dispensing formulation through the nozzle 410.

12 is a view referred to the explanation of the mask pack manufactured by the hydrogel dispensing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12, the formulations may be dispensed in the order of T zone 1201 to eye area 1202 to mouth 1203 to mouth area 1204 to U zone 1205. That is, the dispensing unit for each part can proceed in the vertical direction.

Depending on the embodiment, a one-site one-component dispensing system corresponding to a first-priority solution according to a skin condition measurement or a one-site two-component dispensing system corresponding to a first- and second- In order to completely customize each part according to the measurement, the mask pack can be manufactured by discharging the formulations according to the one-part multi-type dispensing method.

In addition, if there is an ejection contour before ejection in each of the T zone 1201, the eye 1202, the limb 1203, the mouth 1204, and the U zone 1205, the intra-region can be ejected after the contour is formed.

On the other hand, by maintaining the liquid phase of the formulation discharged through the hot wire heating element of the bottom plate 510, it is possible to solve the problem of interfacial deformation between the pre- and post-discharge formulations.

12, when the ejection of the T zone 1201, the eye 1202, the mouth 1203, the mouth 1204, and the U zone 1205 is completed, a handle shape is added to the upper left and right sides as shown in FIG. To ensure the ease of peeling, and to prevent the hand from touching the five portions of the mask pack.

13 to 15 are diagrams referred to in explanation of the hydrogel.

Gum, such as Carrageenan in the hydrogel, is formed by Helix formation as shown in FIG. 13, and the hydrogel gelation conditions are 1) high hydrogel concentration, 2) low temperature, 3 ) K + and the like.

Helix-Helix intra-aggregation Since there is a high possibility that an interfacial release occurs between the advanced formulation and the newly injected formulation, the present invention maintains the temperature of the used temperature on the discharge surface through the heating part of the formulation solidification part 500 , The formulation liquefaction can be maintained. Thereby preventing solidification of the pre-injection formulation and inducing inter-agglomeration between the pre-delivery formulation and the post-delivery formulation.

FIG. 14 is a diagram referred to in explaining the temperature and desorption phenomenon, and FIG. 15 is a table summarizing the physical properties of the formulation according to the temperature.

FIG. 14 is a graph showing the weight reduction rate as a percentage of the time elapses of 4 degrees (1410), 25 degrees (1420), 35 degrees (1430), and 50 degrees (1440) of the hydrogel formulation.

Referring to FIG. 14, it can be seen that, in general, the higher the temperature is, the faster the phase velocity is increased up to about 50 degrees. In addition, visualization at a room temperature of 2 to 3 minutes or more can be performed.

Referring to Fig. 15, the hydrogel at -4 deg. C or lower is in a solid state, and the gel component fills the component and the moisturizing agent water, so that there is almost no water treatment. Also, if the temperature is too low, the gel itself may freeze.

The hydrogel at -4 to 3 degrees Celsius is solid, and is the temperature at which it solidifies in current manufacturing processes. When the cooling chamber temperature is set at -3 to 0 degrees, rapid solidification can proceed inside the temperature range of about 0 to 3 degrees.

The hydrogel at 5 to 15 degrees Celsius is solid and can be visually recognized when left at a temperature lower than room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes.

The hydrogel at room temperature is solid and has a water-in-oil phase, which is why the water-wet gel is wet when using the hydrogel pack without separate essence spraying.

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

Accordingly, the present invention provides a heating unit in each unit to manage the temperature to an appropriate level.

On the other hand, the temperature of 70 ° C to 75 ° C is liquefied in the current manufacturing process, and the gel viscosity at 70 ° C is 5000-7000 CPs.

As the temperature of the hydrogel at 80 ° C is higher in the liquid phase, the viscosity decreases and the flowability increases. However, if the flowability is excessive, cooling control may be difficult and there is a possibility of water evaporation in the gel.

Meanwhile, the values illustrated in Figs. 14 and 15 may vary depending on the type and concentration of the formulation. In addition, the temperature values and the like exemplified in other parts of the specification may vary depending on the type and concentration of the formulation.

16 is a flowchart of an operation method of a hydrogel dispensing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

16, a hydrogel discharging device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is connected to an external electronic device, for example, the above-described skin measurement device 50 via the communication unit 160, (S1610).

Based on the skin condition information, a plurality of capsules accommodating the hydrogel formulation may be introduced into the hydrogel discharging device 100 (S1620).

Based on the skin condition information, a user or a staff member of the store can insert a capsule of an appropriate customized component into the hydrogel discharging device 100.

Alternatively, on the basis of the skin condition information, the hydrogel discharging device 100 can select a capsule of a suitable customized component from among the plurality of capsules injected into the vessel.

Meanwhile, as the heat source in the hydrogel dispensing device 100 is driven, the hydrogel formulations contained in the plurality of capsules are moved (S1630).

For example, the hydrogel formulation contained in the plurality of capsules is heated to be liquefied and moved to the flow path 310. The flow path 310 is heated to maintain the liquefied state, 310 from the upper side to the lower side.

The hydrogel formulation moved to the nozzle 410 may be discharged in a predetermined order (S1640).

According to the embodiment, the discharge surface may be divided into a plurality of regions, and the hydrogel formulations may be sequentially discharged to the outside of the plurality of regions.

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

Thereafter, the discharged hydrogel formulation is solidified to complete the mask pack (S1650).

17 and 18 are views referred to the description of the mask pack and the hydrogel discharging apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 17, the mask pack 1910 may be further provided with an anti-aging kit 1720 implemented with an attachment type micro current pad.

With the addition of the anti-aging kit 1720 having the absorption promotion and the collagen regeneration effect, the skin can be regenerated and the skin can be regenerated.

Alternatively, it is possible to provide a mask pack or the like having a thickness varying at the time of skin contact by using a mask pack or a pH-responsive formulation whose color changes upon skin contact using a temperature sensitive formulation.

Referring to FIG. 18, an opening 515 for removing the manufactured mask pack 1800 may be formed in a part of the case of the hydrogel dispensing apparatus 100.

Further, since the bottom cover 510 itself can be taken out through the opening 515, the ease of peeling and attachment of the mask pack 1800 can be increased, and ease of cleaning can be ensured.

Or a part of the case of the hydrogel dispensing apparatus 100 may be provided with a door that can be opened or closed to take out the manufactured mask pack 1800. In this case, when the user presses the open button of the input unit 110 after the manufacturing is completed, the opening / closing structure is opened and can be separated from the forward.

In addition, the lower soil release plate 510 itself can be separated, and the ease of peeling and attachment of the mask pack 1800 can be increased, and ease of cleaning can be ensured.

Considering the properties of the hydrogel formulation used as the raw material of the hydrogel dispensing apparatus 100 according to the present invention, the factor that has the greatest influence on the formulation change is the temperature.

As described with reference to Figures 13 to 15, the hydrogel formulations are typically solidified at a temperature of less than 55 degrees and liquefied at temperatures above 55 degrees.

Further, the higher the temperature is, the higher the flowability generally becomes. However, if the temperature is higher than 80 ° C, the flowability is higher than the lower temperature, but problems such as water evaporation and component denaturation may occur in the gel.

Therefore, when manufacturing a mask pack, it is necessary to dynamically control the temperature of about 65 to about 80 degrees to control the physical properties of the formulation and to optimize the heat management for minimizing moisture loss and component denaturation in the gel.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for preparing a liquid formulation, comprising the steps of: 1) liquefying a solid dosage form, 2) keeping a liquefied gel continuously in a liquid state, 3) discharging a liquefied gel to the outside, A temperature design optimized for the scene is needed.

If there is a problem in controlling the heat source / heat source, the hydrogel component may be solidified and the flow path may be clogged.

Therefore, at the time of manufacturing the mask pack, the temperature of the precise temperature must be constantly supplied and maintained, and the temperature control for each heat source must be controlled seamlessly.

In addition, independent of the organic control between the heat sources, it is necessary to minimize the temperature instability in other regions by each heat source conduction heat.

In particular, due to the nature of the hydrogel formulation, interfacial deformation may occur between the pre-discharge formulation and the post-discharge formulation, so that it is necessary to control intra-aggregation between the delivery formulations.

Therefore, the configuration for managing the heat and the formulating state in the device will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 19 to 25.

The topsheet 510 and the topsheet 510 may be formed of a thermosetting resin, (Not shown).

The nozzle line of the dispenser 400 can maintain a high temperature of 75 to 80 degrees to enable the dispenser to dispense the formulation.

In addition, the soldering hot wire of the formulation solidifying part 500 maintains the middle temperature of 68 to 70 degrees for a predetermined time, thereby preventing interfacial delamination between the linearly discharged formulations and the later-discharged formulations.

The electric heater is used in a relatively low temperature heat source. Due to the nature of the gel formulation, it is necessary to control the electric heater at a temperature of 100 degrees or less. The time to reach the target temperature is short within a few seconds, Is high.

In addition, an electric heater can be made in a variety of form-factors, and has advantages of high heat resistance and durability when using a hot wire.

In addition, a heating device of an electric heating type (electric heater) is capable of generating heat when only a voltage is connected without a separate module, is inexpensive, and has a merit that the arrival time of the target temperature can be further shortened as the voltage is higher.

Referring to FIG. 22, the capsule fastening part 240 may include a plurality of conductive metal foils on the top surface of the capsule body 240 on which the plurality of capsules are placed. In this case, the processor 150 can determine the rules and types of capsules based on the number of conductors in contact with the plurality of conductive metal foils.

Alternatively, the present invention may utilize various other seating sensing means.

23 is a flowchart of an operation method of a hydrogel discharging apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 23, a plurality of capsules accommodating a hydrogel formulation may be heated by driving a capsule portion heating line according to a start button operation of the input unit 110 (S2320).

According to the embodiment, it is possible to automatically determine whether or not the plurality of capsules are seated (S2310), and to start heating the capsule bottom (S2320).

When the capsule is placed on the capsule fastening part 240, the solidified form of the capsule inside the capsule can be liquefied by the capsule hot wire of the capsule fastening part 240.

On the other hand, the hydrogel formulation inside the capsule liquefies N seconds after the heating of the lower part of the capsule.

When the formulation is sufficiently liquefied, the liquefied formulation can be moved from the capsule to the flow path using the pressurizing portion 230 having the push structure of the capsule fastening portion 240 (S2330).

After N seconds after the hydrogel formulation is liquefied, the pressurized portion 230 of the capsule input portion 200 may apply a physical force to the plurality of capsules to move the liquefied hydrogel formulation to the flow path 310 S2330).

The liquid heating wire 320 operates in response to the driving of the pressing unit 230 and the liquefied formulation falls freely (S2340), and can wait in the ready state for discharging in front of the nozzle 410 (S2350).

Alternatively, the sensor and pneumatic regulator of the formulation delivery unit 300 may sense the formulation position in the channel 310, and adjust the flow and flow to adjust the position and movement of the formulation.

For example, in the case of a formulation corresponding to the discharge order among the formulations moved from a plurality of capsules, the flow path 310 is heated to move the hydrogel formulation toward the nozzle 410 while maintaining the hydrogel state of the hydrogel formulation .

In the case of a formulation which does not correspond to the discharge order among the formulations moved from the plurality of capsules, the fluid channel 310 is heated to maintain the hydrogel state of the hydrogel formulation, and at the predetermined position in the flow channel 310, As shown in Fig.

The liquid formulation moved into the flow path 310 can sustain liquefaction by the hot-water heat conduction line of the used-on.

If it is the ejection order, it moves in the direction of the nozzle 410 through the air pressure regulating part. Otherwise, the air pressure regulating part can be held in a liquid state at a proper position in the flow path 310.

On the other hand, the nozzle 410 can discharge the transferred hydrogel formulation to the topsheet 510 and solidify the hydrogel formulation stacked on the topsheet 510 to complete the mask pack.

The form dispensing part 400 divides the discharge surface on which the formulations are to be discharged from the surface of the over-coating 510 into a plurality of areas, and sequentially divides the plurality of areas into hydro- The gel formulation can be dispensed.

That is, the dispenser 400 can sequentially move the nozzle 400 over the plurality of areas, discharge the materials of the necessary components to the area, and move to the next area.

In addition, the form spraying unit 400 may sequentially discharge the hydrogel formulation supplied from the formulation delivery unit 300 according to the components of the hydrogel formulation.

According to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a mask pack by combining a plurality of components in a capsule in which a material of various components is accommodated.

In this case, the form dispensing part 400 can discharge a certain amount of the material of the next capsule containing the other components after a certain amount of the capsule-like material is discharged from the plurality of capsules.

Referring to FIG. 23, the hydrogel formulations corresponding to the discharge order among the plurality of hydrogel formulations are discriminated (S2360), and the hydrogel formulations corresponding to the discharge order are discharged in accordance with the driving of the nozzle line and / And can be discharged to the publication 510 (S2370).

The formulation of the ejection order moves close to the nozzle 410 and is discharged by the hot nozzle hot line over the tablet 500 (S2370).

When the dispensing of the formulation is completed (S2380), the next formulation can be dispensed (S2390).

On the other hand, in order to prevent interfacial release, the discharged formulations are kept in a form-flow state by the topping hot wire so as to maintain a standby state before cooling.

FIGS. 24 and 25 are views referred to the explanation of the thermal management algorithm of the hydrogel discharging apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 24 shows the positions of injection formulations based on one capsule on the basis of the position of the capsule fastening part 240, the flow path 310, and the nozzle 410.

Fig. 25 shows a heat source (a heat wire in this embodiment) operation mechanism according to the movement of the formulation.

Referring to FIGS. 24 and 25, in the production of a mask pack, there can be briefly five types of formulations.

First, after the capsule is placed, when the formulation is in the capsule position 2410 (first state), there is no formulation movement.

However, after the capsule is placed, in the first state, the cap portion heating wire is turned on, and the channel heating wire is also turned on to start the preheating.

The capsule lumen is driven on and the liquefied formulation begins to move and a formulation is present in the capsule and flow path 310 in a second state 2420 as the capsule is moving to the flow path.

In the second state 2420, the channel heating line is turned on to maintain the liquefaction state, and the nozzle heating line and the saturation heating line can also start preheating.

The formulation may be a third state (2430) in which the formulation is injected into the channel from the capsule and the formulation in the channel is being discharged to the outside through the nozzle, the formulation in the capsule is sprayed all the time, A fourth state 2440 that is continuously discharging through the nozzle to the outside, and a remaining small amount of the formulation in the flow passage may be in the fifth state 2450 that has been discharged to the outside through the nozzle and the dispensing is completed.

In the third state 2430, the formulation is located in the capsule, the flow path, and the nozzle, and in the fourth state, the formulation is positioned in the flow path, the nozzle, and the soil discharge. In this case, in the fourth state 2440, the capsule heating line is turned off and can be switched to a state in which only the remaining heat is left.

On the other hand, in the fifth state (2450), the formulation is placed in the nozzle and the overhang, the flow path of the flow path is turned off, and only the residual heat can be changed.

According to the present invention, the processor 150 is capable of seamless control between heat sources in consideration of a heat-up time of a heat source.

Since the target temperature can be reached within a few seconds through the hot wire heater, the processor 150 can preheat the next heat source to control the formulation so that it can move seamlessly.

In addition, although there may be some residual heat due to the heat-down time to each room for each heat source, it is possible to control the area independently by preventing the heat from being conducted to the other heat source through the shield structure using the heat insulating member. Do.
