Description

  The present invention relates to a solid moxa molding suitable for use in a hot water heater and a method for producing the same.

  Conventionally, Mogusa is well ignited and generates soft heat and burns slowly over a long period of time, so it has been used as a heat source for firewood and hot water heaters. The mugwort is manufactured using mugwort as a raw material. However, the amount of mugwort collected has been decreasing in recent years and is becoming expensive.

  Also, since mugwort itself is cottony and bulky, when used in a warmer with a relatively large amount of use at one time, the mugwort is pressed into a paper cylinder or paper container and packed. The reality is that it is used as a heat source for dexterity. However, it is uneconomical to use mogusa to cover all the amount of heat required for a hot water heater. Furthermore, as described above, the molasses are in the form of cotton, so that the moldability thereof is poor, so that solidification is difficult.

  In addition, smoke generated as a result of the burning of the moxa during use fills the room, and the odor peculiar to the moxa has the problem of causing discomfort not only to the user but also to those around.

  The above-mentioned hot water heater is a kind of indirect firewood in which a so-called hot powder end is placed in a hot water container and an ignited solid moxa mold body is placed thereon and used. Penetrates the end of the acupuncture method and permeates into the body over a long period of time as wet heat, resulting in various effects. This powder is usually composed of a powder composed of bittern salt, garlic powder, medicinal herbs and the like.

  In addition, ash ash is known in which a burner ash is added to a carbonaceous powder and solidified into a rod shape, but even in this case, not only odor is generated from the carbonaceous powder or the burner but also combustion occurs. There is a problem that the heat generated by the is high and is not appropriate as a heat source for a warmer.

Furthermore, various attempts have been made to reduce odors and smoke as much as possible with respect to solid moss. In addition, there has been proposed smokeless and odorless mushrooms in which the elasticity of the fibers remains without being completely carbonized (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, such a lump made of lump that is not completely carbonized is inconvenient in terms of combustion temperature, combustion time, etc., when used as a heat source for a warmer.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, while exhibiting the solid moxa molded object which satisfy | fills the combustion temperature and combustion time suitable for warm water heaters, there exists an effect that this molded object can be manufactured with a simple process.

  According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a solid moxa molding for a warming appliance comprising 10 to 25% by weight of moxa powder, 85 to 65% by weight of carbonaceous material powder, and 5 to 10% by weight of a binder on the basis of the molding. Is done.

  As this moxa powder, for example, it is convenient to use a powder prepared as follows.

  Naturally dried mugwort is dried at a predetermined temperature (for example, 60 ± 5 ° C.) for a predetermined time (for example, 6 to 20 hours), and the dried mugwort leaves are pulverized by a pulverizer, Mogusa raw material is collected, and at this time, moxa powder is obtained as a by-product. For use in the present invention, this moxa powder is again pulverized by a pulverizer, and the particle size is adjusted to obtain a moxa (for example, about 100 to 200 mesh) powder having a predetermined particle size.

  According to the present invention, from the viewpoint of combustion temperature, combustion time, and the like, it is advantageous to use a compounding agent such as a desired amount of a combusting agent in the above moxa molded body for use in a warming device.

  In this case, the auxiliary combustion agent is not particularly limited as long as it is a commonly used oxidizing agent, but for example, lead sugar (lead acetate), nitrate (potassium nitrate), potassium perchlorate and the like are preferable. Sodium hydroxide can be used as the alkali to be added thereto.

  The carbonaceous material that can be used in the present invention is a so-called charcoal obtained by completely carbonizing a plant, and is preferably a charcoal that has as much potassium as possible and is easy to burn (good ignition), such as pine charcoal, cedar charcoal, bamboo charcoal, Examples include hemp charcoal and paulownia charcoal.

  The solid moxa molding of the present invention is produced, for example, in the following manner using moxa powder, carbonaceous material powder, and binder powder in a predetermined ratio.

  After adding a carbonaceous material powder of a predetermined particle size (for example, about 50 to 200 mesh) to a mogusa powder of a predetermined particle size, adding a binder powder thereto and mixing in a kneader to prepare a compound, this compounding A predetermined amount of water is added to the product and further kneaded. The kneaded material having a hardness suitable for extrusion molding is extruded using an extruder such as a screw type extruder having a desired diameter, and then cut into a predetermined size using a cutter. The cut molded body is dried at a predetermined temperature (for example, about 80 ° C.) for a predetermined time (for example, 5 to 7 hours) to obtain a target solid moxa molded body for a warming device.

  In this case, the amount of water to be used is such that the shape does not collapse during extrusion, and that the molded body is free from defects such as cracks in the subsequent drying step. It can be selected appropriately.

  Mogusa is naturally ignited and hardly disappears, so it may not be necessary to add a combustion aid when the amount of mogusa powder is large. However, in the case of blending a crude powder in which the mugwort powder is mixed with the raw mugwort stalk and other impurities, it is preferable to add a combustion aid to assist the combustion action.

  In this case, as a production method for blending the auxiliary combustor, for example, mogusa powder, carbonaceous material powder, binder, and auxiliary combustor are respectively used at a predetermined ratio. First, a predetermined particle size carbonaceous material powder is added to mogusa powder and mixed in a kneader to prepare a mixture A. Also, a mixture B of a binder and a combustion aid is prepared by adding and mixing an auxiliary combustor such as lead acetate or potassium nitrate to an aqueous solution in which a predetermined amount of the binder and sodium hydroxide are dissolved based on the mixture A.

  Next, the mixture B is added to the mixture A and kneaded sufficiently. The kneaded material thus obtained is extruded using an extruder such as a screw-type extruder having a desired diameter and then cut into a predetermined size using a cutter. The cut molded body is dried at a predetermined temperature to obtain a desired warmer molded body.

  Moreover, the solid moxa molded body of the present invention can also be obtained by the following production method.

  A predetermined amount of an auxiliary combustor is introduced into hot water placed in a dissolution tank such as a chemical stirrer and dissolved, and after complete dissolution, an alkali such as sodium hydroxide is added and dissolved to prepare a chemical solution. Next, a chemical solution is added to a predetermined amount of carbonaceous material powder charged into the mixing and pulverizer, and pulverized and mixed for a predetermined time to prepare a mixture. In this case, the moss is naturally ignited and hardly disappears. Therefore, when the amount of the moth powder is large, it may not be necessary to add a combustion aid. However, in the case of blending a crude powder in which a mugwort powder is mixed with a raw mugwort stem or other contaminants, it is preferable to add a combustion aid to assist the combustion action.

  Next, the mixture obtained as described above, moxa powder, binder, and water are kneaded in a predetermined ratio, and after extrusion molding, the mixture is cut into a predetermined size using a cutter machine, and 70 to 100 It is dried at around 0 ° C. to obtain a solid moxa molding.

  In this case, as the moxa powder, the moxa raw material may be crushed by a crusher and pulverized to obtain a powder, or waste powder generated during the production of moxa may be used as described above. The binder may be any binder that can uniformly bind the moxa powder and the carbonaceous material, and can perform the extrusion process in the subsequent process without any problem. For example, a paste such as CMC (carboxymethylcellulose), dextrin, starch, etc. Can be used.

  The particle size of the moxa powder and the carbonaceous material powder used above is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected depending on the relationship between the heat of combustion of the moxa molded body to be obtained and the combustion speed (burnt). For example, about 200 to 220 mesh pass is particularly preferable.

  According to the present invention, as described above, the main ingredients are mogusa powder and carbonaceous powder, and these are blended at a predetermined ratio, and then a binder is blended if desired, and molded to obtain a molded body. However, in this molded body, these raw materials are uniformly dispersed with each other to form a dense solid moxa molded body. Therefore, when this molded body is used as a heat source for a warming device, it is bulky and has a flame. There is an advantage in that the disadvantages of both the bad mogusa and the carbonaceous material that has a burning sensation during combustion and easily disappears are eliminated. Therefore, it is well-fired and does not disappear, it becomes a molded body that has both excellent characteristics of mogusa that burns with soft thermal power and inexpensive carbonaceous material that burns with relatively high thermal power. It has good firepower with moderate heat, hardly generates smoke, and can burn evenly.
