Abstract

A cosmetic dispenser according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a plurality of cartridges accommodating a cosmetic therein and having a head to which pressure is applied to discharge the cosmetic; a pusher for pressing the head of any one cartridge among the plurality of cartridges; a controller for lifting or lowering the pusher; and a first sensor for detecting the magnitude of a load when the head is pressed, wherein the first sensor is installed to the pusher.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cosmetic material dispenser comprising:
 a plurality of cartridges containing a cosmetic material therein and formed with a head through which pressure is applied to discharge the cosmetic material;   a pusher for pressurizing the head of one of the plurality of cartridges;   a controller configured to raise or lower the pusher; and   a first sensor configured to detect a magnitude of a load when the head is pressed, and   the first sensor is installed in the pusher.   
     
     
         2 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
 obtain a status of the pusher, including whether the head is pressurized, through the first sensor.   
     
     
         3 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to:
 determine that the pusher is in a first state in which the head is not pressurized when the first sensor detects no load, and   determine that the pusher is in a second state in which the head is pressurized when the first sensor detects a load.   
     
     
         4 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 3 , wherein the controller is configured to:
 control a rising speed of the pusher at a first speed when the pusher is in the first state, and   change the rising speed of the pusher to a second speed when the pusher is changed from the first state to the second state.   
     
     
         5 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 4 , wherein the first speed is faster than the second speed. 
     
     
         6 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to:
 obtain a discharge amount of cosmetic material discharged from the cartridge through the first sensor while the pusher is in the second state.   
     
     
         7 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to:
 change the rising speed of the pusher to a third speed when the discharge amount reaches a preset reference amount.   
     
     
         8 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 7 , wherein the first speed is faster than the second speed, and the second speed is faster than the third speed. 
     
     
         9 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 7 , wherein the controller is configured to:
 lower the pusher when the discharge amount reaches the target discharge amount.   
     
     
         10 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
 obtain a discharge amount from the cartridge based on the magnitude of the load detected by the first sensor.   
     
     
         11 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
 obtain a remaining amount of the cosmetic material remaining in the cartridge based on the magnitude of the load detected by the first sensor.   
     
     
         12 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
 control a rising speed of the pusher based on the remaining amount of the cosmetic material.   
     
     
         13 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 1 , further comprising a second sensor configured to detect a weight of the cosmetic material discharged from the cartridge, and
 the second sensor is installed below a receiving body where the container receiving the discharged cosmetic material is placed.   
     
     
         14 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 13 , wherein the first sensor is configured to obtain a discharge amount through the magnitude of the load detected in the cartridge when discharging the cosmetic material, and
 the second sensor is configured to obtain the discharge amount through the magnitude of the load detected in the receiving body when discharging the cosmetic material.   
     
     
         15 . The cosmetic material dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the pusher is configured to:
 rise at a first speed until the pusher reaches the cartridge,   rise at a second speed that is slower than the first speed immediately after the pusher reaches the cartridge,   rise at a third speed that is slower than the second speed when a discharge amount of the cosmetic material from the cartridge is greater than or equal to a preset reference amount, and   descend when the discharge amount of the cosmetic material reaches a target amount.
