Embodiment: As shown in FIGS. 1-25, a multifunctional applicator includes first

application element 100 and second application element 200. The first application element 100 includes first application head 110 and first connecting rod 120 that are fixedly connected. Insertion member 111 is fixedly provided on the first application head 110. First mounting groove 121 is formed in the first connecting rod 120. The second application element 200 includes second application head 210 and second connecting rod 220 that are fixedly connected. Second mounting groove 211 is formed in the second application head 210. When the first application element 100 and the second application element 200 are assembled, the insertion member 111 is inserted into the second mounting groove 211, and the second connecting rod 220 is inserted into the first mounting groove 121. The applicator includes the first application element 100 and the second application element 200 that are formed independently. In assembly, the insertion member 111 on the first application head 110 is inserted into the second mounting groove 211 of the second application head 210, and the second connecting rod 220 is inserted into the first mounting groove 121 of the first connecting rod 120. Hence, the first application element 100 and the second application element 200 are mounted conveniently and coupled firmly. An application head assembly spliced by the first application head 110 and the second application head 210 is used for makeup. A connecting rod assembly spliced by the first connecting rod 120 and the second connecting rod 220 is used to provide the applicator in the brush rod. In mounting, the connecting rod assembly is inserted into the brush rod. A steel needle of a striking device is used to strike the brush rod externally, such that a bump is formed on the brush rod and embedded into the connecting rod assembly, thereby fixing the applicator on the brush rod. The first application element and the second application element are two independent components, and are made of different materials. The smooth surface of the first application head or the second application head can be used directly for makeup. Application units having different materials, different sizes and different densities may also be provided on the first application head and the second application head respectively for makeup. Therefore, the applicator can meet different makeup requirements of the user, and have diverse use functions.

As shown in FIGS. 10-18, a first end of the first application head 110 is connected to the first connecting rod 120. The insertion member 111 is obliquely connected to a second end of the first application head 110. As shown in FIG. 16, the insertion member 11 extends outward along an axial direction of the first application head 110. Optionally, a shape of the insertion member 111 includes a cylindrical structure, a polyhedral structure or other special-shaped structures. The insertion member 111 and the first application head 110 are provided obliquely, which facilitates insertion of the insertion member 111 into the second mounting groove 211 in mounting.

As shown in FIG. 16, the first application head 110 includes an application surface and a mounting surface that are opposite to each other. A tail end of the insertion member 111 inclines toward the mounting surface. After the first application element 100 and the second application element 200 are assembled, the second application head 210 is attached to the mounting surface of the first application head 110. The application surface of the first application head 110 refers to an outer surface for makeup. The application surface of the first application head 110 may be a concave surface, a plane or a convex surface. The application surface of the first application head 110 shown in FIG. 16 is the concave surface.

As shown in FIG. 16, first oblique surface 122 is provided in the first mounting groove 121. As shown in FIG. 23, second oblique surface 221 is provided on the second connecting rod 220. When the first application element 100 and the second application element 200 are assembled, the first oblique surface 122 cooperates with the second oblique surface 221, as shown in FIG. 7. The first oblique surface and the second oblique surface each are a guiding surface. With mutual cooperation between the first oblique surface and the second oblique surface, the first application element and the second application element are mounted more conveniently. After assembly, the first oblique surface 122 and the second oblique surface 221 are attached to each other.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 16, the first oblique surface 122 extends to the first application head 110. As shown in FIG. 23, the second oblique surface 221 extends to the second application head 210.

As shown in FIGS. 19-25, the whole second application element 200 is a hook-like structure. As shown in FIG. 23, a longitudinal section of the second application element 200 is an L-shaped structure. The second mounting groove 211 is obliquely formed in the second application head 210. The second mounting groove 211 is a blind groove. Optionally, the second mounting groove 211 is located at an end of the second application head 210 away from the second connecting rod 220. As shown in FIG. 23, an upper end of the second mounting groove 211 is an open end. A lower end of the second mounting groove 211 is a sealed end. The second mounting groove 211 is configured to mount the insertion member 111. An inclination direction of the second mounting groove 211 is the same as an inclination direction of the insertion member 111.

Optionally, the second connecting rod 220 is in interference fit in the first mounting groove 121. Alternatively, the second connecting rod 220 is clamped in the first mounting groove 121. Alternatively, the second connecting rod 220 is bonded in the first mounting groove 121 through a glue. That is, the first application element 100 and the second application element 200 may be fixed together through clearance fit, clamping, bonding, etc. When the second connecting rod 220 is clamped in the first mounting groove 121, a clamping groove is formed in the second connecting rod 220, and a convex rib is provided in the first mounting groove 121. Alternatively, the convex rib is provided on the second connecting rod 220. The clamping groove is formed in the first mounting groove 121. The convex rib is clamped into the clamping groove to fix the first application element 100 and the second application element 200.

A hardness of the first application element 100 is less than a hardness of the second application element 200. The first application element 100 is made of a soft material, and the second application element 200 is made of a hard material. When the first application head 110 is used for makeup, the second application element 200 can support the first application head 110, such that the applicator does not bend to achieve a desirable makeup effect.

The first application element 100 is made of a plastic material. Application unit 112 is provided on an outer surface of the first application head 110. Material storing groove 113 is formed in the first application head 110. The first application element 100 made of the plastic material meets the common makeup requirement. The application unit 112 may be a bristle, a cotton head, a flock head, etc. The cotton head or the flock head may be formed on the outer surface of the first application head 110 through an independent flocking process. The bristle may be formed integrally with the first application element 100. The material storing groove 113 is formed in the outer surface of the first application element 100 and configured to store a material, thereby improving a carrying capacity of the applicator.

The second application element 200 is made of a metal material, a ceramic material or a glass material. An outer surface of the second application head 210 is a smooth surface. Optionally, the second application element 200 is made of the metal material. The second application element 200 made of the metal material can make the user feel cool in makeup, thereby improving the user satisfaction and the feeling of freshness.

In a possible implementation, the first application element 100 is made of the plastic material. The cotton head is provided on the outer surface of the first application head 110. The second application element 200 is made of the metal material. The outer surface of the second application head 210 is the smooth surface. The applicator in the implementation can achieve the application effect of the cotton head and the cool effect of the metal. That is, the user can experience multiple application feelings in use.

In another possible implementation, both the first application element 100 and the second application element 200 are made of the plastic material. The application unit 112 is provided on the outer surface of the first application head 110 and the outer surface of the second application head 210. An area of the application unit 112 on the second application head 210 is greater than an area of the application unit 112 on the first application head 110. A density of the application unit 112 on the second application head 210 is less than a density of the application unit 112 on the first application head 110. In this way, the second application head 210 is used for quick makeup, and the first application head 110 is used for fine makeup or fixing makeup. The application unit of the first application head 110 and the application unit of the second application head 210 may also be designed as different types. The applicator in the implementation can meet different requirements on the makeup effect.

It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art can further make variations and improvements without departing from the conception of the present disclosure. These variations and improvements all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure shall be subject to the appended claims.
