Description

  The present invention relates to a plant drying method for drying a plant such as a flower used for a flower decoration using a pressed flower or a dried plant flower, and a stacked container for drying plants.

Conventionally, when making a flower decoration using pressed flowers and dried flowers, plants such as flowers are pressed with a drying sheet coated with a desiccant and dried.

For this reason, the flower to be dried is in a pressed flower state and cannot be dried into a semi-three-dimensional shape, and it takes time to dry.
JP-A-8-259401

    In view of the conventional drawbacks as described above, the present invention can be freely selected from a pressed flower state to a semi-three-dimensional shape, and even if there are irregularities on plants such as flowers by a simple operation, it is uniformly pressed and dried in a short time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for drying plants and a superposed container for drying plants.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become more fully apparent when the following description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
However, the drawings are for explanation only and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a plant storing step for storing a plant to be dried in an overlapping container, which can be used in a microwave oven that can be stored in an overlapping state, using a soft mesh material on the bottom surface. In addition, after storing the desiccant such as silica gel in a container used in a microwave oven, after passing through the plant storing step, the overlapping container is stored inside, and the granular desiccant such as silica gel is stored in the overlapping container. Stored, using a soft mesh material on the bottom, storing and stacking the overlapping containers, and the stacking process and those that have undergone this stacking process are left as they are or are dryers such as microwave ovens and heaters The drying method of a plant is comprised by the drying process which makes a granular desiccant adsorb | suck the water | moisture content of a plant and dry.

  The present invention relates to a plant storing step for storing a plant to be dried in an overlapping container, and a container used in a microwave oven, which can be used in a microwave oven that can be stored in a superposed state, using a soft mesh material on the bottom surface. A superposition container in which a soft mesh material is used on the bottom, containing a superposition container inside the superposition container inside, and containing a granular desiccant such as silica gel in the superposition container. Storage and storage of the granular desiccant such as silica gel in the container, the superposition process, and what has undergone this superposition process is left as it is or using a dryer such as a microwave oven or a heater The plant drying method is constituted by a drying step in which the moisture of the plant is adsorbed onto the particulate desiccant and dried.

  The present invention includes a cylindrical container body formed of a material that can be used in a microwave oven whose upper part is sequentially expanded from the bottom, and a bottom member using a soft mesh material fixed to the bottom surface of the container body. This constitutes a dry overlapping container.

  As is clear from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) A plant storage process for storing plants to be dried in a stacking container that can be used in a superposed state using a soft mesh material on the bottom, and a container used in a microwave oven After storing the desiccant such as silica gel in the inside, the overlapping container which has undergone the above-mentioned plant storage process is stored inside, and the granular desiccant such as silica gel is stored in the overlapping container. The material is used to store and superimpose the overlapping containers, the superposition process, and the product that has undergone this superposition process is left as it is or using a dryer such as a microwave oven or a heater, to keep the moisture of the plant. Because it consists of a drying process that adsorbs to a granular desiccant and dries, it absorbs far-infrared rays emitted from the desiccant and generated steam by a microwave oven to efficiently plant plants such as flowers It is possible to 燥.
Therefore, operation is easy and it can dry in a short time.

(2) By using the superposition container using the soft mesh material on the bottom, storing the granular desiccant such as silica gel in the superposition container in which the plants to be dried are put according to (1). Therefore, the load applied to plants such as flowers varies depending on the amount of the granular desiccant stored in the overlapping container, and the plants can be dried from the pressed flowers into a semi-solid shape.

(3) According to the above (1), plants such as flowers are sandwiched between soft mesh materials, so that even if there are irregularities of plants such as flowers, the plants can be pressed evenly and efficiently in a semi-solid shape. Can be dried.

(4) According to the above (1), since it is a simple method that can be performed by anyone without using special equipment or medicine, it can be easily implemented.

(5) In the second and third aspects, the same effects as the above (1) to (4) can be obtained.

(6) The fourth aspect can obtain the same effects as the above (1) to (3), and can be stored and stored in a small space, and can efficiently prevent damage to the bottom member of the mesh material during storage and storage.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the best mode for carrying out the present invention shown in the drawings.

  In the best mode for carrying out the present invention shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, 1 is a plant drying method for drying a plant such as a flower of the present invention, and this plant drying method 1 is soft on the bottom surface. Plant storage process 5 for storing plants 4 such as plants and flowers to be dried in an overlapping container 3, which can be stored in a superposed state, and can be stored in a superposed state, using a bottom member 2 made of a simple mesh material, and a microwave oven After the powdery or granular form such as silica gel or the granular desiccant 7 in the present embodiment is accommodated in the container 6 used in the above, the overlapping container 3 that has undergone the plant storing step 5 is placed on the granular desiccant 7. In addition to storing the overlapping container 3, the overlapping container 3 having the same configuration as that of the overlapping container 3, in which the granular desiccant 7 is stored in such an amount that a load necessary for the plants 4 such as flowers and the like is applied. The superposition process 8 to superimpose and this superposition Those after the degree 8 using microwave 9, and a drying step 10 for drying by adsorption of steam exiting from the plant while out far-infrared rays by heating the granular desiccant.

  The superposition container 3 used in the plant storage process 5 and the superposition process 8 is a rectangular cylindrical container body 11 made of a heat-resistant synthetic resin material that can be used in a microwave oven, the upper part of which is expanded from the bottom. The bottom surface member 2 uses a mesh made of a soft heat-resistant synthetic resin material that is welded or fitted and fixed to the bottom surface of the container body 11.

  The container 6 used in the microwave oven used in the superposition process 8 is made of a heat-resistant synthetic resin material such as a tapper in which the bottom surface of the superposition container 3 is housed.

When a plant such as a flower is dried by the method as described above, a load applied to the plant 4 such as a flower to be dried according to the amount of the granular desiccant 7 stored in the upper overlapping container 3 at the time of the overlapping process 8. Therefore, the amount of the granular desiccant 7 to be used is adjusted to dry the pressed flower shape into a semi-three-dimensional shape.
Further, since the bottom members 2 and 2 of the overlapping containers 3 and 3 are formed of a soft mesh material, even if the plant 4 such as the flower to be dried has irregularities, the bottom members 2 and 2 along the irregularities. Is positioned and a uniform pressing force is applied, and the film can be dried uniformly.
In addition, as a desiccant, you may use the ceramic particle | grains with which the generation | occurrence | production of far infrared rays other than a silica gel, and the ceramic particle | grains were mixed with a silica gel.
