Description

  The present invention purifies drinking water, further warms the body by taking a bath, and also has a far-infrared radiation, moisture retention, deodorization, etc. that function as a deodorizer for refrigerators. It relates to the manufacturing method.

  Conventionally, as a substance that emits far-infrared rays, for example, as disclosed in the following patent document, ceramics with a specific composition are known to have a humidifying effect, a warming effect during bathing, and a therapeutic effect on the human body. It has been.

  However, since the ceramic itself is hard, it is difficult to make it into a fine powder, and it is difficult to form into a spherical shape, so it is not easy to use and has a manufacturing defect of high firing temperature. It is not possible to obtain a spherical body having a high far-infrared ray suitable for use at low cost.

  The present invention provides a mineral ball that purifies drinking water, softens the taste of various foods and drinks, and functions as a deodorizer for refrigerators and has excellent far-infrared radiation, moisture retention, deodorization, and the like, and a method for producing the same To do.

  The present invention radiates far-infrared rays having an outer diameter of 20 to 30 mm in which a glaze containing ultrafine far-infrared radiation material is applied to the surface of a spherical unglazed core made of porcelain clay containing natural far-infrared radiation rocks. It is a ball-shaped pottery.

  As the natural far-infrared emitting material, crushed serpentine, amphibole and the like can be used. Crushed serpentine, amphibole, etc. have a squared surface and can be uniformly dispersed in the clay, and even if the degree of pulverization is several μm or more, the degree of dispersion is much more uniform. Even if it is not, the intensity | strength under the condition of normal use is obtained by the grade of the unglazed ceramic clay.

  On the surface of the unglazed core, a glaze containing a nanometer-order ultrafine powdered far-infrared emitting material is applied to a thickness of several microns, and then fired at a normal glaze firing temperature of 1150 to 1260 ° C. .

  Mixing mineral powder that emits far-infrared rays with porcelain to form a spherical core, flatten the bottom to obtain stability during unglazed firing, and remove nano-order ultrafine particles far from the bottom. It is prepared by dipping in a glaze containing an infrared emitting substance, applying the glaze, and firing.

  In the present invention, serpentinite, amphibole, and the like can be used as natural ores that emit far-infrared rays to be blended with porcelain for the production of the core.

  In addition, the present invention is that the nanocomposite particles having an ultrafine phase size of 1 to 100 nm described in Patent Document 4 have infrared radiation and are well dispersed during normal ceramic glazing. By finding out.

  This patent document 4 is a composite of a polymer and a clay comprising a polymer matrix and a layered porcelain mineral that is uniformly dispersed in the polymer matrix and into which a catalyst that catalyzes the polymerization of the polymer matrix is inserted. In addition, a polymer and porcelain composite ultrafine particles in which a surfactant having a reactive functional group, a coupling agent or a compatibilizing agent is further inserted into the layered porcelain mineral are disclosed.

  The composite of polymer and porcelain disclosed in Patent Document 4 has a cation exchange capacity of 7 to 300 meq / 100 g with an ultrafine phase dimension of 1 to 100 nm. Compared with microcomposites and macrocomposites, it is a layered nanocomposite improved in high rigidity, high strength, high heat resistance, low hygroscopicity, low combustibility, and low air permeability.

  And in this invention, it glazes the glaze which mix | blended this nano composite_body | complex to the surface of the spherical unglazed core which has an outer diameter of 20-30 mm, and consists of porcelain clay containing a natural far-infrared radiation rock. , it can maintain the uniformity of the far infrared radiation, as for the home, available for bathing, cleaning and other purposes of water.

  The far-infrared radiation ball of the present invention is a very useful home-use far-infrared radiation functional material that can maintain far-infrared radiation almost semi-permanently, and the base material is not deteriorated and is excellent in usability. Can be manufactured at low cost.

The external appearance of the far-infrared radiation mineral ball concerning this invention is shown. The far-infrared radiation characteristic of the mineral ball | bowl which concerns on the Example of this invention is shown.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to specific examples.

Preparation of core material 10-15 wt% of serpentine ground to 1 mm diameter was added to porcelain clay, and mixed with clay. After mixing, this ceramic clay was formed into a lump of 30 g and formed into a spherical shape, and then the bottom was flattened and baked at 800 to 850 ° C. in the atmosphere.

Preparation of glaze Depending on the color, ash, pine tree burned into ash as a base, feldspar, lime, iron oxide added to this, ultrafine powder polymer-clay composite according to the previous patent 3 to 10% by weight of a product (trade name Nanoclay manufactured by Ishiyuna Nana Technology Co., Ltd.) was added, and water was added thereto to prepare a glaze. It was adjusted by rotating and mixing in a pot mill for 10 to 15 hours.

Glazing A spherical core is immersed in a glaze, except for a flat portion, glazed to a thickness of 5 μm, fired to 1150 to 1260 ° C., and a finished product 10 having a flat bottom surface having a diameter of 22 mm shown in FIG. Obtained. In the figure, 1 is a glazed place, 2 is a core body portion on which a foundation of porcelain clay that has not been glazed appears, and 3 is a cut portion for flattening.

Far-infrared radiation test The obtained far-infrared radiation mineral balls were used as test pieces of 45 mm × 45 mm × 4 mm, and a far-infrared emissivity test was conducted at the Nagasaki Prefectural Ceramic Laboratory. A far-infrared spectroradiometer JIR-E500 manufactured by NEC was used as a tester, the surface temperature was heated to 86.6 ° C. with a heater temperature of 100 ° C., and detection was performed in a wavelength range of 3.33 to 25.42 μm. The emissivity at each wavelength is as shown in FIG. 2, and the integrated emissivity was 89.4%.

Purification test of tap water Imari city tap water was put in a plastic container, and three test products were put in this container and allowed to stand for 10 days.

  The results were as shown in Table 1 below.

  In Table 1, the water quality standard value of the Waterworks Law indicates the value of tap water before inspection.

  From this test result, it was clarified that the product of the present invention is effective for water purification, and this effect can be applied to purification of drinking water used in the home.
