Abstract

A cosmetic manufacturing apparatus includes a main body providing a cosmetic manufacturing space; a part supply unit providing at least one of a mixing container for accommodating cosmetic materials and a component constituting a cosmetic container; a cosmetic material supply unit for discharging one or more cosmetic materials stored in a cosmetic material storage unit to the mixing container; a conveying means for moving at least one of the mixing container and the component constituting the cosmetic container which have been provided to the part supply unit; and a control unit for controlling at least one of the cosmetic material supply unit and the conveying means so that the one or more cosmetic materials stored in the cosmetic material storage unit are mixed and accommodated into at least one of the mixing container and the component constituting the cosmetic container.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cosmetic manufacturing apparatus comprising:
a main body providing a cosmetic manufacturing space;
a part supply unit providing at least one of a mixing container for accommodating cosmetic materials and a component constituting a cosmetic container;
a cosmetic material supply unit for discharging one or more cosmetic materials stored in a cosmetic material storage unit to the mixing container;
a conveying means for moving at least one of the mixing container and the component constituting the cosmetic container which have been provided to the part supply unit; and
a control unit for controlling at least one of the cosmetic material supply unit and the conveying means so that the one or more cosmetic materials stored in the cosmetic material storage unit are mixed and accommodated into at least one of the mixing container and the component constituting the cosmetic container,
wherein the component includes a base container and an impregnating member which are provided as parts of a second container, and
wherein the cosmetic manufacturing apparatus further comprises a moisture absorption tool for impregnating the impregnating member with the cosmetic materials accommodated in the base container.

2. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a mixing unit rotatably provided to mix cosmetic materials accommodated in the mixing container.

3. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the mixing unit includes:
a first rotating member into which the mixing container can be inserted, and which is rotatable; and
a second rotating member for rotating the first rotating member, and
wherein the first rotating member is spaced apart from the center of the second rotating member by a predetermined distance.

4. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the control unit controls such that the first rotating member into which the mixing container is inserted can be stopped at a preset position.

5. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the conveying means includes a plurality of conveying units that move the component provided in the part supply unit to a part holding unit, and assemble the component moved to the part holding unit into a first container to be provided as a pump-type container, or into the second container to be provided as a compact type container.

6. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the conveying means includes a first conveying unit and a second conveying unit that are movable independently of each other, wherein when assembling a first container to form a pump-type container, one of the first conveying unit and the second conveying unit grips a cap of a discharging member, and the other is moved up and down while being in contact with a straw, such that the straw of the discharging member is aligned with the inlet portion of the mixing container in the part holding unit, and
wherein when assembling the second container to form a compact container, one of the first conveying unit and the second conveying unit seats the base container constituting the second container on a part holding unit, and the other turns over the mixing container, such that cosmetic materials accommodated in the mixing container can be moved to the base container.

7. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a part holding unit on which the mixing container and the component in the part supply unit are moved and seated,
wherein the part holding unit includes:
a seat portion providing a space in which a first container to be provided as a pump-type container can be assembled; and
an assembly portion providing a space in which the second container to be provided as a compact container can be assembled.

8. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the component in the part supply unit includes a discharging member provided as a part of a first container,
wherein the conveying means:
moves the mixing container in the part supply unit to the cosmetic material supply unit so that the mixing container provided as an empty container from the part supply unit receives cosmetic materials,
moves the mixing container in the cosmetic material supply unit to the mixing unit where the cosmetic materials accommodated in the mixing container is mixed,
moves the mixing container in the mixing unit to a part holding unit so as to provide the mixing container as a part of the first container, and
moves the discharging member in the part supply unit to above the mixing container in the part holding unit, and couples the discharging member with the mixing container.

9. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the component in the part supply unit further includes a cover container for covering the impregnating member, which is provided as a part of the second container, and
wherein the conveying means:
moves the mixing container in the part supply unit to the cosmetic material supply unit so that the mixing container provided as an empty container from the part supply unit receives cosmetic materials,
moves the mixing container in the cosmetic material supply unit to the mixing unit where the cosmetic materials accommodated in the mixing container is mixed,
moves the base container in the part supply unit to a part holding unit, and
tilts the mixing container storing the cosmetic materials above the top of the base container so that the base container in the part holding unit receives the cosmetic materials.

10. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cosmetic material supply unit includes:
a cosmetic supply means for discharging a predetermined amount of cosmetic material stored in a cartridge;
a plurality of discharging holes through which cosmetic materials conveyed from the cosmetic material supply unit are discharged; and
a mixing container conveying unit that fixes the mixing container to accommodate the cosmetic materials discharged from the plurality of discharging holes into the mixing container, and is movable under the discharging holes.

11. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a table is provided on one side of the conveying means, the moisture absorption tool is provided under the table, and a part holding unit on which at least one of the mixing container and the component can be seated is disposed on the top of the table.

12. The cosmetic manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the part supply unit includes:
a tray on which the component can be placed;
a first container component support for supporting a mixing container and a discharging member, which are provided as parts of a first container; and
a second container component support for supporting the base container, the impregnating member, and a cover container, which are provided as parts of the second container.
