The composition ratio determining unit 920 may determine the composition ratio by substituting the skin condition analysis result as a variable value in a preset calculation formula, or select and determine the composition ratio closest to or most suitable to the skin condition analysis result from among a plurality of preset composition ratios. may be The preset composition ratio data can be understood as including the type and amount of cosmetics used and their input ratio, and physical properties such as color or viscosity of cosmetics corresponding to each composition ratio data so that the user can intuitively understand this. It may contain data.

In this case, the control unit 900 may include a composition ratio correction unit 930 that provides the user with an opportunity to correct composition ratio data by providing the determined composition ratio to the user through the user interface unit 130 . The user may check the composition ratio data presented through the user interface unit 130 , determine whether to accept the composition ratio data as it is or use other composition ratio data, and input the corrected data. In this case, the composition ratio data presented to the user may be the ratio itself, or may be characteristic information such as color or physical properties of cosmetics manufactured according to the composition ratio data. Accordingly, the corrected data input by the user may also be characteristic information such as color or physical properties of cosmetics. According to an embodiment, the composition ratio correction unit 930 may transmit data to the terminal 20 instead of the user interface unit 130 to receive the corrected data through the terminal 20 .

In addition, the control unit 900 may include a cosmetic type receiving unit 940 receiving a desired type of cosmetics from the user, a manufacturing mode receiving unit 950 receiving a desired manufacturing mode, and a composition ratio determining unit 920 . In this embodiment, the information provided to the cosmetic type receiving unit 940 may indicate whether the type of the customized cosmetic to be manufactured is the first container or the second container, and the information provided to the manufacturing mode receiving unit 950 is to receive a sample. It may be a mode or a mode for receiving finished products. Here, the sample is a cosmetic manufactured by using a relatively small amount while maintaining the composition ratio of the cosmetic, and the finished product is a cosmetic in which a preset capacity to be provided is filled as a single product for sale.

In addition, the manufacturing mode may further include a mode for requesting a finished product after receiving a sample, a mode for requesting a sample according to the changed composition ratio after receiving the sample, and a mode for requesting disposal after receiving the sample. This manufacturing mode may be presented to the user upon receipt of the sample.

A user may select a type of cosmetics or a manufacturing mode through the user interface unit 130 . To this end, the user interface 130 may present a screen for receiving the user to select a type and manufacturing mode of cosmetics. Also, according to an embodiment, the user may provide the cosmetic type or manufacturing mode to the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 through the terminal 20 or the operation server 40 .

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a method of controlling a cosmetic manufacturing apparatus having the above configuration will be described.

11 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of FIG. 1 .

Referring to FIG. 11 , the control method of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus includes: calculating data on cosmetics to be manufactured including a composition ratio by the control unit 900 ( S10 ); by controlling the cosmetic supply unit 200 and the transport means 800 to discharge the cosmetics stored in the cosmetic storage unit 140 to the mixing container 161 according to the composition ratio (S20); Controlling the mixing unit 400 and the conveying means 800 by the control unit 900 to mix the cosmetics discharged to the mixing container 161 (S30); When the control unit 900 determines that the cosmetic contained in the mixing container 161 is a sample, providing the mixing container 161 to the user, and receiving an input from the user whether to change the composition ratio (S40); And by controlling the transfer means 800 by the control unit 900, the cosmetic contained in the mixing container 161 is stored in at least one of a first container provided as a pump-type container and a second container provided as a compact container. and providing it to the user (S50).

S40 described above may be selectively provided, S10 may include at least one of S110, S120, S130, S140, and S150 to be described later, S20 may include one of S210 and S220 to be described later, and S30 is It may include at least one of S230 and S240 to be described later, and S40 may include at least one of S310, S320, S330, S340, S350, S360, S370, S380, S390, S400, S420, and S430 to be described later, S50 may include at least one of steps S500 and S900 to be described later, which will be described in detail later.

12 is a flowchart illustrating in more detail a control method of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 of FIG. 1 .

Referring to FIG. 12 , the control unit 900 may collect desired cosmetic type data from the user through the cosmetic type receiving unit 940 ( S110 ). The cosmetic type data may be input through the user interface unit 130 as described above, or may be provided through the terminal 20 and the operation server 40 .

Also, the control unit 900 may collect manufacturing mode data on whether a product desired by the user is a sample or a finished product through the manufacturing mode receiving unit 950 ( S120 ). The manufacturing mode data may be input through the user interface unit 130 or may be provided from the terminal 20 or the operation server 40 .

Then, the control unit 900 analyzes the skin condition of the user through the skin condition analysis unit 910 (S130). As described above, the skin condition analysis unit 910 may receive an already analyzed result from any one of the terminal 20 and the operation server 40 .

The composition ratio determining unit 920 of the control unit 900 determines the composition ratio data based on the analysis result provided in step S130, and determines the amount to be manufactured as a cosmetic according to the manufacturing mode collected in step S120 (S140). In this step, the supply amount of a plurality of types of cosmetics stored in the cosmetic storage unit 140 may be determined. For example, when the user selects the sample preparation mode, the supply amount of the cosmetic material required to produce a relatively small amount of the cosmetic may be determined. In addition, when the user selects the finished product manufacturing mode, the set dose to be provided as one sales product as a relatively large amount is set as the total manufacturing amount of cosmetics, and the supply amount of each cosmetic for this may be determined. In the present embodiment, the composition ratio determiner 920 may determine a result closest to the skin condition analysis result among a plurality of preset composition ratios as composition ratio data.

In addition, step S140 may include determining the composition ratio data by the composition ratio determiner 920 in consideration of the user's cosmetic purchase history. For example, if the user has a lot of history of purchasing cosmetics with a color brighter than the skin condition measured by the terminal 10, the composition ratio determining unit 920 may display a color brighter than the composition ratio data based on the skin condition analysis result. It is possible to determine the composition ratio data so that

And, the composition ratio correction unit 930 of the control unit 900 presents the composition ratio data (at least one of a composition ratio based on a skin condition analysis result and a composition ratio considering a cosmetic purchase history) to the user through the user interface unit 130, etc.) Then, the composition ratio correction data may be collected from the user, and the composition ratio data and the supply amount of each cosmetic may be corrected according to the result (S150).

In step S150, the user may select not to modify the composition ratio through the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20, and in this case, the composition ratio data determined in step S140 may be maintained as it is. Steps S110 to S150 described above are steps for collecting information and generating data necessary for cosmetic manufacturing, the order of which can be changed, and each step is divided into more subdivided steps to interact with users or process data can be modified to do so.

After the collection of information and data processing necessary for cosmetic manufacturing are completed, the physical cosmetic manufacturing step is performed.

The controller 900 may control the robot arm controller 820 to drive the transfer means 800 . As described above, the transfer means 800 may include a first transfer unit 801 and a second transfer unit 802, and in each step to be described later, the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit ( Any one or all of 802) may be used as the transport means 800 in the cosmetic manufacturing process.

Specifically, the control unit 900 may control the transfer means 800 to move the mixing container 161 toward the cosmetic supply unit 200 (S210).

At this time, when the mixing container 161 is moved to the cosmetic supply unit 200 disposed on one side (the left side of FIG. 4 ), the mixing container 161 in the parts supply unit 160 is moved directly to the cosmetic supply unit 200. When the mixing container 161 is moved to the cosmetic supply unit 200 disposed on the other side (the right side of FIG. 4), the mixing vessel 161 in the component supply unit 160 is seated on the seating unit 300. After that, it may be moved to the cosmetic supply unit 200 .

Here, the movement of the mixing container 161 toward the cosmetic supply unit 200 may be understood as moving to the seating groove 2547a for the mixing container of the mixing container transfer unit 250 .

On the other hand, when step S210 is performed from the second time, that is, when the mixing container 161 is provided to the user as a sample preparation mode and is performed after being recovered again, the control unit 900 sends the parts supply unit to the conveying means 800 . The mixing container 161 located at 160 is moved directly to the cosmetic supply unit 200 , or the mixing vessel 161 located in the component supply unit 160 is moved to the mounting unit 300 , and from the mounting unit 300 . It can be moved to the cosmetic supply unit 200 again.

In this way, by making the specifically controlled method change depending on the number of times in which step S210 is performed, and by using the mixing container 161 provided as a sample to the user in the subsequent process, unnecessary process waste and material waste can be prevented. Production cost can be lowered.

Thereafter, the cosmetic material supply unit 200 is controlled by the controller 900 to supply the cosmetic material to the mixing container 161 according to a predetermined composition ratio (S220). The control unit 900 may control the cosmetic material to be sequentially discharged from each cartridge 142 through the cosmetic material supply means 220 so as to correspond to the predetermined composition ratio data and the production amount. To this end, the controller 900 may control the transfer means 800 to move and fix the moving block 254 for the mixing vessel of the mixing vessel transfer unit 250 . Specifically, the transfer means 800 may selectively restrain the stopper 256 for the mixing container by operating the locking lever 255 for the mixing container, and the moving block 254 for the mixing container in a preset order according to the composition ratio data. ) can be moved so that the mixing container 161 can receive the cosmetic provided from the cosmetic supplying means 220 . Here, the movement of the mixing vessel transfer unit 250 arranged on one side may be performed by the second transfer unit 802 , and the movement of the mixing vessel transfer unit 250 arranged on the other side is performed by the first transfer unit 801 . can be performed by

Meanwhile, in step S220 , the controller 900 may adjust the supply speed of the cosmetic supplying means 220 according to the amount of the supplied cosmetic. For example, when any one of the cosmetics stored in any one of the cartridges 142 is supplied to the mixing container 161, the cosmetic supply means 220 is for the total amount A to be supplied from the corresponding cartridge 142. When the ratio (B/A) of the pre-supplied amount (B) is lower than the preset range, the cosmetic may be supplied at a relatively high speed, and when the ratio is higher than the preset range, the cosmetic is applied at a relatively low speed. can be supplied. Accordingly, high-speed supply can be achieved in the initial section where fine control is unnecessary, and thus the overall cosmetic supply time can be shortened. Here, as a method of measuring the pre-supplied amount (B), a method in which the control unit 900 calculates the supply amount according to the recording of the time and speed at which the cosmetic supply means 220 is driven is used, or a moving block for a mixing container A method of receiving and calculating the weight data changed from the weight sensor provided in 254 may be used.

The mixing container 161 in which the cosmetic material has been injected in the cosmetic supply unit 200 may be moved to the mixing unit 400 by the transfer means 800 (S230).

Here, when the injection of the cosmetic from the cosmetic supply unit 200 disposed on one side to the mixing container 161 is completed, the mixing container 161 is directly transferred from the cosmetic supply unit 200 by the second transfer unit 802 to the mixing unit ( 400) can be moved. In addition, when the injection of the cosmetic from the cosmetic supply unit 200 disposed on the other side to the mixing container 161 is completed, the mixing container 161 is seated on the seating part 300 by the first transfer unit 801, The second transfer unit 802 may move from the seating unit 300 to the mixing unit 400 .

The control unit 900 drives (eg, rotates) the mixing unit 400 to apply an external force to the mixing container 161 to mix the cosmetics accommodated in the mixing container 161 (S240). As described above, the mixing unit 400 may rotate the mixing container 161 at the same time as it revolves at a high speed, and the cosmetic inside the mixing container 161 may be well mixed by the vortex generated thereby. At this time, after the mixing unit 400 stops rotating, the first rotating member 402 of the mixing unit 400 into which the mixing container 161 is inserted may be controlled to stop at the same position by the control unit 900 . . In this case, the conveying means 800 can insert the mixing vessel 161 into the first rotating member 402 stopped at a preset position, and inserting the mixing vessel 161 into the first rotating member 402 . It has the advantage of being able to simplify the control for

Steps S210 to S240 described above may be understood as a step of supplying cosmetics to the mixing container 161 and mixing a plurality of cosmetics accommodated in the mixing container 161 .

When step S240 is completed, the controller 900 determines whether the manufacturing mode collected in step S120 is a sample manufacturing mode or a finished product manufacturing mode (S310). If the finished product manufacturing mode is selected instead of the sample manufacturing mode, the process of manufacturing cosmetics according to the type of cosmetics ( S500 ) may be performed. Specific details of the step S500 will be described later.

The control unit 900 controls the conveying means 800 to supply the completed cosmetic container (the first container or the second container) manufactured by the step S500 and delivered to the groove 167 of the component supply unit 160 to the user. It can be (S900). Specifically, the control unit 900 may control the second transfer unit 802 to place the completed cosmetic container (the first container or the second container) in the groove 167 of the component supply unit 160 . At this time, the user may open the component supply door 129 to receive the completed cosmetic container placed on the component supply unit 160 . In addition, the second transfer unit 802 may push the tray 165 of the component supply unit 160 to discharge the completed cosmetic container placed on the component supply unit 160 to the outside of the main body 100 .

On the other hand, as a result of the determination of step S310, in the case of the sample preparation mode, the control unit 900 mixes the mixing unit 400 with the conveying means 800 so that the mixed cosmetic contained in the mixing container 161 can be used as a sample. The container 161 may be moved to the groove 167 of the component supply part 160 or the mixing container support part 163a (S320). In this case, the second transfer unit 802 may be used as the transfer means 800 . According to an embodiment, the controller 900 moves the mixing container 161 of the mixing unit 400 to the receiving unit 300 by the transfer means 800 , and then from the receiving unit 300 to the component supply unit 160 . It may be controlled by moving the mixing vessel 161 .

The control unit 900 may control the transfer means 800 to supply the mixing container 161 delivered to the component supply unit 160 to the user (S330). Step S330 may be understood substantially the same as step S900 described above.

The user has selected the sample production mode, and the user receives the mixing container 161 provided as a sample and tries it, and then uses it again in the component supply unit 160 , specifically the groove 167 of the component supply unit 160 , or It can be placed on the mixing vessel support (163a).

At this time, at least one of the tray 165 or the groove 167 or the mixing container support 163a is provided with a predetermined detection means such as a weight sensor, whether the user has returned the mixing container 161 to the sample cosmetic product. may be provided to detect Alternatively, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 may receive an input from the user through the user interface unit 130 as to whether the mixing container 161 is returned to the component supply unit 160 after the sample cosmetic has been used. Alternatively, the control unit 900 notifies the user through the user interface 130 that the component supply unit 160 is automatically retrieved after a preset time has elapsed, so that the user transfers the mixing container 161 to the component supply unit 160 . It can also induce a turning motion.

The control unit 900 may move the tray 165 of the component supply unit 160 back to the inside of the main body 100 by using the transfer means 800 , thereby recovering the mixing container 161 again. (S340).

In addition, the control unit 900 may collect subsequent manufacturing mode data and, if necessary, composition ratio correction data from the user through the manufacturing mode receiving unit 950 ( S350 ). The subsequent manufacturing mode may be collected through the user interface unit 130 and the like similarly to the manufacturing mode in step S120 described above, and may be one of a finished product manufacturing request, a composition ratio correction request, and a disposal request. In this case, when the subsequent manufacturing mode selected by the user is a composition ratio correction request, the controller 900 may additionally collect composition ratio correction data through the composition ratio correction unit 930 .

When the subsequent manufacturing mode collected in step S350 is a finished product manufacturing request (S360), the control unit 900 changes the total quantity data of cosmetics to correspond to the finished product manufacturing, and changes the manufacturing mode from the sample manufacturing mode to the finished product manufacturing mode. Can be (S370). In this case, the manufacturing amount data of the cosmetic to be additionally manufactured may be set as a dose excluding the dose provided as a sample from the total dose required for the finished product. According to an embodiment, the controller 900 may set the production amount of cosmetics to be additionally manufactured in consideration of the difference between the initial weight provided as a sample and the collected weight.

Then, the control unit 900 may re-perform the steps of S210 and below. Thereby, additional cosmetic supply for manufacturing the finished product is made according to the preset composition ratio, and since the data is changed to the finished product manufacturing mode, the process below step S500 may be performed according to the determination result in step S310.

Meanwhile, as a result of the determination in step S360, if it is not a request for manufacturing a finished product, the control unit 900 determines whether the user's request is a request for modifying the composition ratio (S380). In this flowchart, steps S360 and S380 are sequentially illustrated as an example, but in an actual control program, this may be processed as a single branching logic.

As a result of the determination in step S380, if it is not a request for correction of the composition ratio, it is processed as a request for disposal of the manufactured sample, and the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800 to store the cosmetic composition mixed from the component supply unit 160 is stored in the mixing container 161 may be moved to the collection unit 112 (S420). In this case, the second transfer unit 802 may be used as the transfer means 800 .

As a result of the determination in step S380, if there is a request for composition ratio correction, the controller 900 determines whether such composition ratio correction is possible (S390). A user's request for correction may be made in various ways, and in some cases, there may be a case in which correction is impossible with a cosmetic prepared in the mixing container 161 . For example, when a cosmetic of a specific component is excluded or a specific cosmetic is added more than an amount to be included in the finished product, additional cosmetic supply to the mixing container 161 in which the manufactured cosmetic ingredient is stored It is impossible to respond. In this case, the control unit 900 outputs a message that the composition ratio cannot be corrected to the user through the user interface unit 130 (S430), and the mixing container 161, which is a sample manufactured by performing step S420, can be collected. .

Meanwhile, if it is determined in step S390 that the composition ratio can be corrected, the control unit 900 determines composition ratio data and production amount for manufacturing a new sample according to the composition ratio requested to be modified ( S400 ). This may be performed substantially the same as step S150, but an additional input amount of each cosmetic may be calculated in consideration of the amount of the cosmetic that has already been put into the mixing container 161.

Then, the control unit 900 may re-perform the steps of S210 and below. Thereby, additional cosmetic supply for manufacturing another sample is made according to the changed composition ratio data and production amount, and the process below step S320 can be performed according to the determination result in step S310, which is still in the sample drafting mode.

According to an embodiment, the number of requests for modification of the sample may be limited, and the control unit 900 notifies the limited number of times through the user interface unit 130 before and after performing steps S350 and S370, or further modifying the sample. It may indicate that the request is not possible.

Steps S310 to S430 described above may be understood as providing sample cosmetics to the user.

Through the above process, the user may receive and test a sample of the cosmetic that he or she wants to manufacture or a customized cosmetic suitable for his or her skin condition, or change it and test it again, or immediately manufacture the finished product or sample Since the finished product can be manufactured after the test, satisfaction with the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 can be greatly improved.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, the manufacturing process according to the cosmetic type (eg, whether the first container or the second container) performed as step S500 will be described in detail.

13 is a flowchart showing a specific process of a manufacturing step according to the type of cosmetic of FIG. 12 .

13, as a step S500, the control unit 900 transfers the mixing container 161 to the mixing unit 400 with the transfer means 800 for the parts holding unit 50 (specifically, the seating unit ( 300)), and the mixing vessel 161 seated on the seating unit 300 may be on standby for a subsequent process (S510).

When the type of cosmetics collected in step S110 is the first container (S520), the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800 to place the discharge member 162 provided in the parts supply unit 160 to the seating unit 300. It can be moved to the upper portion of the seated mixing vessel 161 (S610). This process may be performed by the second transfer unit 802, and the second transfer unit 802 may move the discharge member 162 to a predetermined position and then maintain the state in which the discharge member 162 is continuously gripped. there is. Here, the type of cosmetics may be transmitted to the control unit 900 from the user interface unit 130 or the terminal 20 .

Thereafter, the controller 900 controls the transfer means 800 to couple the discharge member 162 to the mixing container 161 on the seating part 300 (S620). The mixing container 161 and the discharging member 162 may be coupled by screw coupling, and since the mixing container 161 is fixed to the mixing container seating groove 302 of the seating part 300 , the transport means 800 ) may be screwed by fitting the discharging member 162 to the upper end of the mixing container 161 and then rotating the discharging member 162 .

At this time, the discharging member 162 may include a straw 1622 , a pumping part 1621 , and a cap 1623 , and the straw 1622 is mixed before screwing the cap 1623 and the mixing container 161 . It is necessary to enter the interior of the container (161). However, since the straw 1622 is formed of a soft material and its shape or direction is not constant, the first transfer unit 801 and the straw 1622 smoothly enter the inlet of the mixing container 161 in the coupling process. can support you to do so. Specifically, the second transfer unit 802 holds the cap 1623 , and the first transfer unit 801 has the straw 1622 in the seating portion 300 of the mixing vessel 161 in the inlet 1611 . ) and can be moved up and down in a state in which the straw 1622 is in contact with it.

When the combination of the mixing container 161 and the discharging member 162 is completed, the first container is provided as a finished product, and the controller 900 controls the transfer means 800 to transfer the assembled container on the seating part 300 to the component supply part. It can be moved to (160) (S630). This may be performed by the second transfer unit 802 . Such processes S610 to S630 may be understood as an assembly process of the first container.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S520 that the type of cosmetics to be manufactured is the second container, the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800 to assemble the base container 164 in the parts supply unit 160 into the assembly unit 500 . ) to move (S710). This process may be performed by the second transfer unit 802 .

Then, the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800, the transfer means 800 takes the mixing container 161 from the seating unit 300, pours the mixed cosmetic into the interior of the base container 164 and discharges. It can be (S720). Discharge of the cosmetic from the mixing container 161 may use a method in which the cosmetic falls naturally by gravity by rotating the mixing container 161, and for this purpose, the transport means 800 tilts the mixing container 161 at a predetermined angle can be performed. In this case, the cosmetics inside the mixing container 161 may not be completely discharged. It is also possible to perform more shaking motions after a certain period of time has elapsed. Such a process may be performed by the second transfer unit 802 . For example, the mixing container 161 may rotate 150 degrees to 180 degrees, and when the mixing container 161 rotates 180 degrees, it may be understood that the inlet 1611 of the mixing container 161 faces the floor.

The control unit 900 may further control the transfer means 800 that has performed step S720 to move the mixing container 161 in which the cosmetic material has been discharged to the collection unit 112 to collect it.

Then, the control unit 900 may control the transfer means 800 to hold the impregnating member 168 from the component supply unit 160 and insert it into the base container 164 in which the cosmetic is accommodated (S730). This process may be performed by the second transfer unit 802 .

Thereafter, the control unit 900 may move the base container 164 in which the impregnation member 168 is accommodated to the moisture absorption unit 600 by the transfer means 800 (S740). This process may be performed by the first transfer unit 801 .

In the moisture absorption unit 600, the base container 164 may be moved to a position corresponding to the moisture absorption tool 620 through the base container transfer unit 650, and a moisture absorption process may be performed by the moisture absorption tool 620 (S750). . The control unit 900 may control the transfer means 800 for movement of the base container 164 and the operation of the moisture absorption tool 620 , and specifically, by operating the base container transfer unit 650 to operate the base container 164 . The operation of moving may be performed by the first transfer unit 801 , and providing a pressing force for moisture absorption through the moisture absorption tool 620 may be performed by the second transfer unit 802 . That is, the moisture absorption process may be achieved by cooperation of the first transfer unit 801 and the second transfer unit 802 . The moving structure of the base container transfer unit 650 may include a guide rail, a moving block, a locking lever, a stopper, and the like, similar to the above-described mixing vessel transfer unit 250 , and may operate substantially the same. However, the moving block of the base container transfer unit 650 may further include a structure for interlocking with the moisture absorption tool 620 . By this process, the cosmetics accommodated in the base container 164 may be sufficiently impregnated in the impregnation member 168 .

When all of the moisture absorption process in step S750 is completed, the control unit 900 may control the transfer means 800 to move the base container 164 from the moisture absorption unit 600 to the assembly unit 500 again (S760). . This process may be performed by the first transfer unit 801 .

Then, the control unit 900 may control the transfer means 800 to take out the cover container 166 from the component supply unit 160 and couple it to the base container 164 on the assembly unit 500 (S770). This process may also be performed by the first transfer unit 801 .

As the combination of the base container 164 and the cover container 166 is completed, the second container is completed as a finished product, and the control unit 900 controls the transfer means 800 to transfer the assembled container on the assembly unit 500 to the component supply unit. It can be moved to (160) (S780). This may be performed by the second transfer unit 802 . Such processes S710 to S780 may be understood as an assembly process of the second container.

Through the above process, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 and the control method of the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 may provide a first container as a pump-type container and a second container as a compact container according to a user's selection. However, the spirit of the present invention is not limited thereto, and according to an embodiment, the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus 10 may be implemented and operated as providing only one cosmetic container among the first container and the second container. In this case, components and control methods used for manufacturing other types of cosmetics in the above description may be omitted.

Hereinafter, the mixing unit 400 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4, 14 and 15 .
