Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention provides a multi-colored cosmetic that enables a fixed amount of powdered cosmetics of at least two colors to be filled in a well-balanced mold into an integrated mold. This invention relates to a quantitative filling device for powdered cosmetics.

(Prior art and its problems) Powder cosmetics such as white powder, kneaded white powder, lipstick, foundation, eye shadow, and blusher are made by compressing each powder so that it is convenient to carry and does not scatter when used. Solidified products are often used.

Generally, when the powders of each of the cosmetics mentioned above are solidified and filled into a single container, a certain amount of the powder is metered and supplied into an integrated mold, lightly pre-pressed, and then molded. Transfer to a saucer similar to the mold,
After transferring it into a container, it is compressed and solidified. In particular, when solidifying powdered cosmetics of multiple colors, predetermined amounts of each of at least two or more colors of powdered cosmetics are weighed out. After that, it was necessary to go through a process of putting each piece into a designated section within a single mold and compressing and solidifying it.

By the way, conventionally, when supplying the powder of each of the above-mentioned cosmetics into a mold, a worker determines the amount of powder by weight or volume using a scale, and then puts the determined amount of powder into the hopper. However, a method was adopted in which the powder was fed into the mold while being gradually advanced using a vibrator or the like.

However, in the conventional quantitative determination of powdered cosmetics of this kind, the former method of determining by weight allows highly accurate determination, but it takes a long time to increase the accuracy, and the latter method of determining by volume. Although it is possible to measure in a short time, there is a problem in that the accuracy is low due to the influence of variations in the density of the filling material.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to automatically perform quantitative determination with as high precision as possible when supplying multicolor powder cosmetics to a mold. The purpose of this invention is to provide a quantitative filling device for multicolored powder cosmetics that can continuously and automatically supply the cosmetics.

(Structure of the Invention) That is, the quantitative filling device for multicolored powder cosmetics of the present invention includes: a first powder supply body that drops a fixed amount of powder cosmetics supplied from an upper part while vibrating; A second powder supply body that vibrates, pulverizes, and drops the powder cosmetic, and a second powder supply body that vibrates and pulverizes and drops the powder cosmetic, and a powder of the powder cosmetic that has been crushed from the supply body. A powder metering and supplying body that measures a predetermined amount of the powder cosmetic in the powder metering hole, and a powder metering and supplying body that measures a predetermined amount of the powder cosmetic in the powder metering hole and instructing to stop the vibration during the pulverization. While transporting the mold below the metering nozzle, the powdered cosmetic measured by the powder metering supply body is dropped into the mold while being vibrated by giving a vibration start instruction,
A mold conveying device that transports the powder to the next process is installed in parallel with the powder metering and supplying body, which cleans the powder metering hole and supplies powder cosmetic residue adhering to the metering hole to the mold. The device is characterized in that it is comprised of a fixed-quantity hole cleaning device.

Powder cosmetic A falls into the powder metering hole 36, and the fourth
When the powder is supplied as shown in FIG. The body measuring cylinder 33 advances, the movable plate 34 at its tip slides on the powder metering hole 36, pushes out the excess powder cosmetic A on the metering hole 36 to the shooter 35, and pushes out the excess powder cosmetic A on the metering hole 36. Quantification is completed. (At this time, the lower surface of the powder metering hole 36 is covered by the opening/closing lid 38'.) Then, at the same time as the powder metering cylinder 33 retreats, as shown in FIG. 38 move backward in conjunction with each other and open the opening/closing lid 38', whereby the metered powder cosmetic A falls and is supplied to the mold B.

When each of the above-mentioned operations is completed in sequence, as shown in FIG.

(Effects of the Invention) As shown in the above embodiments, the quantitative filling device for multicolor powder cosmetics of the present invention makes the powder cosmetics into a uniform density using the mesh plate for powder grinding, and supplies the powder to the mold. Because it is designed to do this, it is possible to perform quantification with as high precision as possible compared to conventional quantitative methods using volumetric methods, and what is more, this quantification can be performed automatically. Therefore, compared to conventional quantitative determination using gravimetric methods, highly accurate quantitative determination can be performed in a short time, which not only reduces the number of workers but also improves production capacity.

Incidentally, when 50 pieces of 2.27 grams were measured using the quantitative filling device for multicolor powder cosmetics of the present invention, the weight variation was 0.052 grams, which was 2.3% of the total. . The number of samples determined at that time was 15 pieces/min.

In other words, if we compare quantification while maintaining this accuracy with the conventional method of quantification using a scale by a worker, the conventional method can only quantify 4 pieces/min with a total weight variation of 2.3%. Therefore, it is clear that according to the present invention, quantification can be performed with as high precision as possible, about four times as much as in the conventional method, and production capacity can be improved.

Therefore, the present invention is an epoch-making method that completely updates the conventional method for quantifying powdered cosmetics and enables highly accurate quantitative determination to be carried out automatically.
