Description

The present invention relates to an ignition agent.

The ignition material is a combustion assisting material that promotes ignition of materials that are difficult to ignite even if a match or the like is used, such as charcoal or firewood. As conventional ignition materials, products formed by impregnating wood fibers, sawdust, wood chips, etc. with kerosene, paraffin, etc. into a solid state, and products obtained by gelling methanol are used. Of these, as the ignition material using wood, a material obtained by mixing wood fiber or sawdust and wax and hardening the material is provided, or as in the invention disclosed in Document 1, it is easy to ignite the center of a bundled piece of wood. Ignition materials with a core material inserted and the entire surface coated with wax have been proposed.

Utility Model Registration No. 3152331

However, in the conventional ignition material made of wood fibers such as wood chips and wax, the wax penetrates into the fine gaps of the wood chips at the time of manufacturing, and the wood chips and the wax are in close contact with each other. When this was ignited, the ignition material ignited and at the same time the fire fell with the melted wax, making it difficult for the ignition target to ignite and it took time for combustion to start.

Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide an ignition material capable of making it difficult for the fire attached to the ignition material to fall and igniting the ignition target quickly.

It is characterized by mixing wood chips, rice bran, and wax in a volume ratio of 10: 2: 5.

A step of mixing and stirring wood chips and rice bran at a ratio of 10: 2, a step of mixing and stirring the wood chips and rice bran with the melted wax, and a mixture of the wood chips and the rice bran and the wax mixed and stirred. It has a step of cooling and molding.

According to the invention of claim 1, when the ignition material which is a mixture of wood chips, wax and rice bran is ignited, the oily rice bran is ignited and the surrounding wax is melted to melt the rice bran core. Because it plays a role like, the melted wax does not fall with the lit fire. Therefore, since the fire ignited by the ignition material continues to burn without extinguishing, the fire can be transferred to wood or charcoal faster than the conventional ignition material.

According to the invention of claim 2, by first mixing the wood chips and rice bran and then mixing with the melted wax, it is possible to mix the melted wax so that one of them is evenly and evenly mixed. In addition, since the rice bran spreads evenly throughout the rice bran, the wood chips and wax do not adhere to each other and a slight gap can be created between the two, which serves as an air passage to the outside and ignites oxygen required for combustion. It can be incorporated inside.

(A) is an explanatory diagram when igniting a conventional ignition material, and (b) is an explanatory diagram when igniting the ignition material of the present invention. (A) is a perspective view of a water bath kiln, and (b) is a schematic view showing a cross section when the water bath kiln is used.

Hereinafter, examples of embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. The materials used are 10 L of wood chips 2 having a size of 1 mm or less and a water content of 15% or less, 2 L of rice bran 3, and 5 L of Western candles 10.
Further, when melting the Western candle 10, a water bath 6 as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b) is used. The water bath 6 used in the present embodiment is composed of a water bath 7 having a semi-cylindrical shape on its side and a water tank 8 located outside the water bath 7 and having a slightly larger diameter. , The four corners of the water tank 8 are supported by pillars. As shown in FIG. 2B, the hot water kiln 6 is doubled in the hot water tank 7 and the water tank 8, and when in use, water is injected into the water tank 8 and then the firewood 9 is poured from below the water tank 8. The material can be boiled inside the water tank 7 by burning and burning the fire 5 to boil the water in the water tank 8 to make hot water 11.

As a first step, wood chips 2 and rice bran 3 are mixed and stirred with a mortar mixer for about 1 minute so that the whole is uniform.
As a second step, as shown in FIG. 2, the Western candle 10 is melted by 5 L using a water bath kiln 6. At this time, the amount of hot water 11 charged into the water storage tank 8 of the water bath 6 decreases with time because the boiling temperature is always maintained so as to melt the Western candle 10. During the water bath, the hot water 11 is added so that this does not decrease and the boiling temperature is maintained.
As the third step, a mixture obtained by uniformly mixing the wood chips 2 and rice bran 3 obtained in the previous step is put into the liquefied wax 4, and then stirred with a spatula to make a liquid having a viscosity similar to that of mortar. Mix until the whole is uniform.
Then, as a fourth step, a mixture of wood chips 2, rice bran 3, and liquid wax 4 is poured into a mold for forming into a solid, cooled and hardened.

The ignition material molded as described above is made by mixing wood chips 2 and wax 4 with rice bran 3 containing fat, so that when the fire is ignited, the fat content of the rice bran 3 causes more fire than the conventional ignition material. Can improve the lighting. Further, when the ignition material 1 is ignited, the wax 4 entwined around the ignited rice bran 3 melts, so that the wax 4 permeates into the rice bran 3 and is vaporized by the lit fire 5 to start combustion. Then, as shown in FIG. 1B, the fire 5 stays on the ignition material 1 and can continue to burn like a candle. Therefore, unlike the conventional ignition material 100 as shown in FIG. 1A, the melted wax 4 does not fall together with the ignited fire 5, so that the transfer of the fire to the ignition target can be made faster than before. it can.
Further, when the rice bran 3 is mixed, the rice bran 3 enters between the wood waste 2 and the wax 4, and a gap 12 is formed around the wood waste 2 and the rice bran 3 as shown in FIG. 1 (b). Then, since the generated gap 12 becomes a passage between the ignition material 1 and the outside air, oxygen necessary for combustion can be taken in, and the ignition material 1 can be stably burned.

The materials of the ignition material 1 of the present invention are wood waste 2, rice bran 3 and wax 4, but these materials are sawdust generated when wood is processed or candle 10 used halfway during a funeral. Because of this, there is almost no cost involved in procuring these materials. Further, by reusing the waste material originally planned to be disposed of as the ignition material 1 of the present invention, the amount of waste generated can be reduced.

The combustion duration of the ignition material 1 of the present invention is about 8 minutes for a mass of about 20 g, about 30 minutes for a mass of about 80 g, and about 9 hours for a larger mass of about 18 kg. Since it can continue to burn, it can be used not only for leisure activities such as barbecue as in the past, but also for devices such as fireplaces that require long-term combustion.

The ignition material of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed within the scope of the claims.
