Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing a stick-shaped cosmetic product such as lipstick.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A stick-shaped cosmetic product such as a lipstick is manufactured by filling a molten cosmetic into the ogive in an upright posture with an assembly of an ogive and a container as one of manufacturing methods. It is manufactured by removing the ogive and covering it with a cap after it solidifies by cooling.

Conventionally, in this stick-shaped cosmetic product manufacturing apparatus, an assembly of an ogive and a container is circulated by intermittently moving by a row of chain belts to which a storage jig for storing the assembly is fixedly assembled. The filling process and the solidification process are performed. Then, in order to mold the cosmetic material filled in the ogive into a shape that is familiar to the inner surface of the ogive and is in a shape conforming to the mold, the ogive is heated in the preheating portion before the cosmetic filling.

[0004]

However, in the preheat portion in the prior art, since the assembly is stored and held in the storage jig, the entire assembly including the storage jig is guided into a constant heating atmosphere. However, a container that does not need to be heated is heated.

Therefore, a large amount of heat energy is consumed for heating the ogive only for improving the moldability of the stick-shaped cosmetic material, and a heating space having a large volume is required for heating. There is a problem that the entire device becomes large.

Further, since the container to be heated together with the ogive is generally made of synthetic resin having low heat resistance, there is a high possibility of occurrence of improper deformation due to heating. Therefore, the heating temperature in the preheating section is sufficiently increased. I can't
There was a problem that insufficient heating of the ogive or non-uniform heating of the ogive occurred, and good moldability of the cosmetic could not be obtained.

The present invention was devised in view of these problems, and in a stick-shaped cosmetics manufacturing apparatus, an apparatus capable of reliably heating each ogive at a preheated portion at a desired uniform temperature is provided. The purpose is to provide.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]
A first index table 1 provided with a preheating unit 7, a filling unit 8, a reheating unit 9 and a precooler unit 10.
And a second index table 2 provided with a cooler section 11.

The first index table 1 is provided with a plurality of insertion portions 5 into which the assembly of the container 3 and the ogive 4 is attached at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and a preheat portion 7 and a cosmetic filling portion which are provided side by side. 8, reheat unit 9 and precooler unit 10
In order to perform each of the processes in (1), it is intermittently rotated and moved at an equal center angle.

The second index table 2 is adjacent to the first index table 1 and has a plurality of insertion portions 5 into which the assembly having been processed by the first index table 1 is attached in the circumferential direction. After being processed at the cooler unit 11 that is provided at an interval and is installed side by side, it is intermittently rotationally moved at an equal center angle in synchronization with the first index table 1 in order to carry it out.

The preheat section 7 is disposed between the assembly loading position and the cosmetic filling position of the first index table 1 and is provided immediately below the first index table 1 in a posture along the circumferential direction. A box body 17 having a receiving port 19 for receiving warm air, and a plurality of supply ports 20 for blowing hot air individually facing the insertion portion 5 directly above the upper surface of the box body 17 are provided in the box body 17. The flat diffusion plate 18 having a large number of diffusion holes 21 is provided so as to block the hot air passage from the receiving port 19 to the supply port 20 so as to diffuse the warm air sent from the receiving port 19. It consists of and.

The preheating section 7 is mounted on the upper surface of the box body 17 having the supply port 20 opened, that is, on the upper surface facing the lower surface of the portion of the first index table 1 where the mounting section 5 is provided. It is preferable to erect the guide wall 22 which forms a groove into which the ogive 4 of the assembly attached to the base plate enters.

[0013]

The operation of the device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The assembly of the container 3 for bar-shaped cosmetic products and the ogive 4 is inserted into the insertion portion 5 of the first index table 1. The posture of the assembly at this time is an upright posture in which the ogive 4 is on the lower side so that the cosmetic material in a molten state can be filled, and the ogive 4 is projected from the lower surface of the first index table 1. It becomes a state. Then, when the attachment of the assembly to the insertion portion 5 is achieved, the first index table 1 intermittently rotates at the same central angle as the arrangement central angle of each insertion portion 5.

By the intermittent rotary movement of the first index table 1, the assembly attached to the insertion portion 5 reaches the position facing the preheating portion 7. Here, the part of the assembly protruding to the lower surface of the first index table 1, that is, the ogive 4 is heated appropriately. By this heating, the ogive 4 is discharged in the filling section 8 which is the next step.
The melted cosmetic material filled inside is well-adapted to the inner surface of the ogive 4 and has a shape as the inner surface of the ogive 4.

In the preheating section 7, warm air heated to a set temperature is supplied into the box body 17 from the receiving port 19. The warm air hits the diffusion plate 18 in the box body 17, but since the diffusion plate 18 has a large number of diffusion holes 21, it diffuses appropriately and is blown out uniformly from each supply port 20. Since each supply port 20 faces the insertion part 5 of the first index table 1 in the stopped state from directly below, the warm air blown out from this supply port 20 is inserted into the insertion part 5 and One of the index tables 1 is blown onto the ogive 4 protruding from the lower surface of the index table 1 to heat the ogive 4.

When the ogive 4 is heated by the preheating section 7, the ogive 4 to be heated is projected to the lower surface of the flat first index table 1, and the warm air from the preheating section 7 is the first Since it is blown out from the lower side of the index table 1, only the ogive 4 is directly heated, and the assembled container 3 is not unnecessarily heated.

By providing the guide wall 22 and forming a groove into which the ogive 4 penetrates, the ogive 4 facing the preheating portion 7 is guided by the guide wall 2 for a certain period of time.
2 and the first index table 1 are located in a heating atmosphere of a constant temperature formed by the hot air, so that the entire ogive 4 is heated more uniformly and efficiently.

When the heating of the ogive 4 is achieved, a fixed amount of the molten cosmetic material is filled in the ogive 4, and then the assembly is moved by the intermittent rotary movement of the first index table 1.
It reaches a position facing the reheat unit 9 and the precooler unit 10.

In the pre-cooler section 10, the ogive 4 is cooled by cold air, and the molten cosmetic in the ogive 4 is cooled and solidified. At the same time, in the reheat section 9, the upper surface of the molten cosmetic is heated and cooled and solidified. Only the upper surface of the cosmetic in a certain ogive 4 maintains the liquefied state, and its cooling and solidification is delayed. In this way, the heating action from the reheat section 9 delays the cooling and solidification of the upper surface portion of the cosmetic material as compared with the other cosmetic material portions, and the upper surface portion of the cosmetic material finally becomes a film and cools and solidifies. Therefore, the shrinkage hole in the central portion is not generated by cooling and solidification, and the upper surface solidifies in a flat shape.

If the pre-cooler section 10 and the reheat section 9 are in a solidified state in which the cosmetics are not deformed by the flow, the combination of the assembly and the cosmetics can be obtained from the first index table 1 to the second table. It is transferred to the index table 2 and inserted into the insertion portion 5 of the second index table 2.

The second index table 2 is intermittently rotated at an equal center angle in synchronization with the first index table 1. By this intermittent rotation movement, the combination of the assembly and the cosmetic reaches the cooler section 11, where the whole is cooled. Cooling in the cooler portion 11 improves the mold release between the cosmetic and the ogive 4. The device of the present invention manufactures a stick-shaped cosmetic product by repeating these steps.
