[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning material which is supplied into a receiving tub of a flush toilet to exert a cleaning action on the toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a receiving tank of a flush toilet,
A method has been adopted in which a cleaning agent is dissolved in a certain amount of stored water, and the stored water is allowed to flow out into the toilet so as to wash the inner surface of the toilet simultaneously with outflow of defecation.
In this usage, the method of dissolving the detergent includes, to date, a method of dissolving when supplying water into the water receiving tank and a method of directly dissolving in the water stored in the water receiving tank.

[0003] When the latter method is used, a cleaning agent can be used for a certain period of time (for example, for one month), and the average concentration of the cleaning agent is adjusted so that the dissolved concentration becomes almost constant at any time. In order to avoid this, a solid detergent containing a surfactant as a main component has been used in order to avoid a rapid dissolution and secure a gradual dissolution. Further, in this case, in order to enhance the cleaning effect, a configuration in which various degrading enzymes are mixed into the solid agent as necessary has been adopted.

[0004]

In the conventional solid detergent described above, the detergent is present in the storage water, and the components dissolve in the water after the surface swells. Therefore, when the cleaning agent is initially supplied into the storage water, a relatively long time is required until the surface portion swells. Therefore, in this first period, the cleaning effect is hardly exhibited or extremely low.

Conventionally, for solidifying a surfactant, a method is generally employed in which a fluidized material is flowed into a mold at a temperature of 70 ° C. to 100 ° C. and cured at room temperature. Was. However, since the molding temperature in this case is about 60 ° C. or higher, which is the usual deactivation (denaturation) temperature of the decomposing enzyme, there is a problem in the constitution by mixing the decomposing enzyme in molding the detergent. That is, the obtained detergent has almost no effect due to enzyme deactivation.

Accordingly, the present invention has as its object to provide a cleaning material for toilets which can ensure the cleaning effect at the time of supply of the cleaning agent at the beginning and maintain the activity of the added decomposing enzyme to effectively act. .

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a flush toilet cleaning material as follows. That is, the enzymatic material obtained by adding a decomposing enzyme solution to water-soluble paper is hermetically packaged with a water-soluble film material together with a solid detergent.

In the construction of the present invention described above, the water-soluble paper is, for example, a paper obtained by partially forming sodium cellulose glycolate (CMC) on base paper made of chemical pulp as a raw paper. You can use what is possible.

[0009] The protease may be selected from the group consisting of protease, which is a protease, amylase, which is a starch degrading enzyme, lipase which is a lipolytic enzyme, and microfibril which is a fibrinolytic enzyme.

[0010] The content of the decomposing enzyme solution in the water-soluble paper is as follows.
General methods that can be performed at room temperature, such as inclusion by dropping and impregnation by immersion, can be used. As for the content of the degrading enzyme material as the degrading enzyme material as the enzyme material, the content of the degrading enzyme material as 0.1 to 20 liters per 10 to 20 liters of the water storage tank for the toilet is used.
An amount in the range of 02 g to 0.1 g is preferable in terms of cleaning effect and economy. The amount of the decomposing enzyme solution is an effective amount corresponding to 2 to 3 times with respect to 10 to 20 liters of the stored water in the toilet receiving tank.

Further, as the solid detergent, an anionic or nonionic surfactant can be solidified so as to be gradually soluble, that is, solidified so that a constant amount is dissolved with time, and applied. The required amount of the solid cleaning agent is, for example, about 1 to 15 to 30 times / day for a storage tank having a water storage of 10 to 20 l.
The amount can be 35 to 50 g, which can be used effectively over a month.

As the water-soluble film material, for example, a film made of polyvinyl alcohol can be used. In addition, the water-soluble film material does not require a strictly sealing action, nor does it have a completely sealing property. In other words, it is sufficient for the water-soluble film material to be capable of preventing the decomposition enzyme solution contained in the water-soluble paper from volatilizing or changing over a certain period of time by its packaging and sealing structure.

Further, the packaging with the water-soluble film material may be in a general form containing air, and the enzyme material is brought into contact with the surface of the solid detergent, and these are integrally fixed. As described above, for example, a water-soluble film material may be brought into close contact by vacuum packing, shrinking, or the like.

[0014]

[Action] The present invention has the following actions. First, when the cleaning material is supplied into the storage water in the receiving tub for the flush toilet, the water-soluble film material on the cleaning material is quickly dissolved to expose the solid cleaning agent and the enzyme material to the water. .

As a result, when the solid detergent and the enzyme material come into contact with water, the surface of the solid detergent starts to swell and dissolves in water in a small amount at an early stage after the supply. However, in the case of the enzyme material, the decomposed enzyme solution directly flows out of the water-soluble paper into the water, and the decomposed enzyme solution contained therein is released into the water as the water-soluble paper itself elutes.

Therefore, when water flows down from the water receiving tank into the toilet at this time, contact between the decomposing enzyme mainly contained in the water and the dirt component adhering to the surface of the toilet occurs. The degrading enzyme contacted in this way exerts a predetermined degrading action on the corresponding waste component.

[0017] The decomposed waste components are removed and discharged together with the water flow, together with the cleaning action on the toilet bowl based on the detergent components eluted in the stored water thereafter. Note that the solid detergent gradually elutes into the stored water thereafter, and the stored water flows down onto the toilet to exhibit a predetermined cleaning effect.

[0018]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The illustrated flush toilet cleaning material 1 is composed of a solid detergent 2 formed into a column shape mainly composed of a surfactant, and an aqueous solution of a hydrolytic paper having a size corresponding to the circular end surface of the solid detergent 2. And a water-soluble film material 4 that wraps them.

A water-soluble film material: a polyvinyl alcohol film material having a thickness of 15 μ, 20 μ or 30 μ was used.

Next, it was confirmed in advance that the toilet was contaminated with debris based on defecation, and the above-mentioned water was stored at a temperature of 15 ° C. in the stored water (15 l) in the water-receiving bath for washing the toilet. Cleaning materials based on the specifications were individually supplied.

Fifteen minutes after the supply, the stored water was drained first, and then the drained water washes two more times every 30 minutes. I confirmed that it was being demonstrated.

In the above embodiment, the cleaning material 1 was used.
FIG. 3 shows an example of an embodiment in which is dissolved. That is, the supplied cleaning material 1 quickly settled in the stored water 10 and reached the bottom 12 surface of the water receiving tank 11. About 3 minutes after the supply of the cleaning material, the water-soluble film 4
The part began to dissolve and disperse.

In FIG. 3, the cleaning material during the dissolving process is indicated by 1 '. 3 'is an enzyme material and 4' is a water-soluble film material. In addition, it can be confirmed that the water-soluble paper of the enzyme material 3 'is partially dissolved at the peripheral portion thereof in a state of being partially separated from the solid detergent 2. Thereafter, the enzyme material 3 ′ is completely separated from the solid detergent 2 and completely dissolved in the stored water 10, and the enzyme contained therein is dispersed in the stored water 10.

[0027]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention has the following effects. First, by forming the degrading enzyme separately from the solid detergent, the degrading enzyme can be included at room temperature, so that the original enzyme activity can be maintained as it is.

Further, since this enzyme material is covered with a water-soluble film material, its enzyme activity is maintained for a long time even during storage.

As described above, since it can be used as a cleaning material while maintaining an effective enzymatic activity, an effective cleaning effect can be exerted on the corresponding waste when used.

Further, since the above-described wrapping structure made of the water-soluble film material also prevents the solid detergent from being subsequently deteriorated, stable dissolution in water can be ensured. It is possible to obtain a stable cleaning effect over a period.
