Description

DESCRIPTION

oil conditioner

Technical sector

The invention relates to a conditioner for natural oils and/or fats, which makes it possible to improve the absorption of the components due to the effect of having reduced the viscosity of the oils.

It is applicable in the industry of products for well-being, cosmetics and parapharmacy.

state of the art

The use of oils in areas as diverse as food, cosmetics and natural therapies admits very different applications and forms of presentation. The Spanish patent ES2788800 is considered the closest state of the art and offers the solution according to the preamble. It is possible to refer to that patent to better understand the operation of the conditioner.

This patent shows how to build a container, for example, such as a chest/booster or a box made of wood, plastic, cork, pressed cardboard or any other non-magnetizable material of a rigid nature, where to place a certain number of magnets that will be placed forming a cavity. Inside this cavity, for example, vegetable oils that are desired to improve performance are introduced.

This solution is effective, but it has some secondary problems that the invention solves. Mainly, the radiation of magnetic fields outside the container, could cause interference with some electrical systems for domestic use located a short distance from the box/booster.

In the industrial environment, a certain level of magnetic field is permissible because, usually, the generators of machines and equipment radiate appreciable fields, but they do not usually exceed the tolerable level from the point of view of electromagnetic pollution for an environment. labor.

In the living space where the permanence of people is prolonged, both in homes and in cabinets for the administration of care for aesthetics or well-being, the permissible field level is lower than the field allowed in a work environment. For this reason, either care must be taken to ensure that the power of the electrical appliances is moderate, or else any electrical machine or device that could radiate a field greater than that tolerated for people during an unlimited residence time must be shielded.

When we talk about shielding, and given that inside the box/booster the magnetic field is generated only by permanent magnets, the shielding must resolve the reduction or cancellation of continuous or permanent magnetic fields. Shielding from alternating electric and electromagnetic fields is not contemplated by the invention.

No apparatus capable of obtaining the advantages of the invention is known.

Brief explanation of the invention

The invention consists of an oil conditioner according to the claims.

Part of the invention outlined in the cited patent and provides improvements in the isolation of the magnetic field in the containers or containers where the adaptation operation is carried out by permanent magnetic field for the temporary conditioning of oils or fats. The oil or fat samples are supplied in the form provided by their manufacturer, small containers, test tubes, syringes, capsules, ampoules, globules, pearls, etc. non-magnetic material, such as glass or plastic.

For this, the oil conditioner is a container comprising a wall or side walls with a prism structure where permanent magnets are placed. The magnets have their N-S axes oriented towards the interior of the container and are surrounded by one or more layers of ferromagnetic material, for example, two, alternated with layers of non-magnetic material, whose role is to separate contiguous ferromagnetic layers. The separation of the layers of ferromagnetic material, which is normally a layer of metal-to-metal adhesive putty, results in an improvement in the shielding capacity of the magnetic field.

The freedom of design allows the construction of vessels with cross-sectional cavities in the form of triangles, squares, hexagons, etc. They can even be tubes with a circular, elliptical, oval cross section...

In this embodiment, the oil conditioner is bottomless and has one or more lids. Each lid has a sealing surface and a rod that enters the work cavity of the chest/booster, like a plunger. Two or more caps with different lengths of the recessed portion can preferably be provided.

Other variants will be described later.

Description of the drawings

In the following, the invention will be explained in greater detail with the aid of a non-limiting example of an embodiment, represented in the following figures.

Figure 1: cross section of a simplified example of the invention.

Figure 2: longitudinal section of the simplified example of the invention.

Embodiments of the invention

Next, an embodiment of the invention is briefly described, as an illustrative and non-limiting example of the latter.

The invention starts from a container (1) formed by at least three straight walls (2) or one curved lateral wall (2). In the example of the drawing in figure 1, there are ten side walls (2) arranged in the form of a ten-sided prism. The bottom can be formed by the support surface on which the container is placed.

The walls (2) comprise magnets (5) that generate a magnetic field inside the container (1). Without being strictly necessary, the magnets (5) are attached to each layer of aluminum of the prism structure by a metal-metal adhesive. The magnets (5), as indicated in the previous cited patent, are preferably alternately facing each other. The outer layer (4) is made of non-ferromagnetic material and can be a colored layer, decorated with letters, drawings, anagrams, etc. that give it a more desirable appearance in the eyes of the end user of the chest/boost.

A schematic example of a section of the walls (2) can be seen in figure 2. The walls (2) have an area with the magnets (5) surrounded by layers of ferromagnetic material (21) and non-magnetic material (22). The placement of layers of non-magnetic material (22) interspersed between the layers of ferromagnetic material (21) is not strictly necessary, since there is a shielding effect with only ferromagnetic material. But by inserting layers of nonmagnetic material (22) that play the role of separators, the shielding efficiency that the ferromagnetic material presents due to being in multilayer is improved. On the other hand, it is something very simple to do because the layers of ferromagnetic material are usually joined with a metal-metal adhesive putty that ends up making a role of non-magnetic material.

Thus, the walls (2) have a non-ferromagnetic structure, for example, aluminum, with a series of magnets (5) and the different layers (21,22) mentioned. The layers of ferromagnetic material (21) can be made of permalloy, mumetal, supermalloy, all of them alloys of known composition. Special steels can also be used, such as those used, for example, in the shielding of a clinic room where Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) imaging equipment is installed. An example of usable steel has the composition (by weight): C 0.32%, Si 0.4%, Mn 1.2%, P 0.010%, S 0.003%, Cr 1.0%, Ni 1.8% , Mo 0.7%, B 0.005% and the rest iron. In any case, the ferromagnetic material will preferably have a very high magnetic permeability, such as the aforementioned alloys.

The shield can be placed somewhat away from the aluminum wall or similar that supports the located magnets (5), and this can be done if the outer casing (4) leaves enough clearance with respect to the outer face of the walls (2) as to leave some free space.

In addition, on a supplementary basis, the container (1) has one or more lids (6,7), each with a closing surface (61,71) that blocks access to the container (1) and a recessed portion or stem ( 62,72) that can be inserted into the container (1) more or less tightly. In this case, the container (1) does not have a bottom (3) but rather one of the lids (6,7) is inserted through the base to define the depth of the container (1). For this, the rods (62, 72) are preferably of different lengths, increasing the versatility of the conditioner. More preferably, the sum of the lengths of the rods (62, 72) is equal to or less than the length of the container (1), so that both lids (6, 7) can be placed at the same time, at both ends, to its storage.

In this way, the bottom is movable at will by removing the cover (6,7), since it is the apex of the stem (62,72) fixed to the lower cover (6,7), as shown in Fig. longitudinal section in figure 2. Within the central space of the box/booster, the working chamber is limited to the space between the two covers (6,7), although the upper cover (6,7) may not be necessary.

It is possible to work without covers (6,7), leaving the central channel occupied only by the oil sample suspended from the upper edge of the central channel of the hood/booster.
