Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to solid incense that generates negative ions. The scents referred to in the present specification are scents such as incense sticks, burned scents, and incense scents, and include all scents formed in a desired shape such as a rod, a roll, a cubic shape, and a circular shape.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the natural world and society where humans live, there are two types of positive ions and negative ions, and a stable and favorable environment is obtained if these are maintained in equilibrium amounts. For example, a walk in the forest, worship at shrines and temples, or an exhilarating mood after a sunset is placed in this favorable environment. Therefore, if the amount of one of the positive ions and the negative ions is increased and deviated to one of them, the environment is deteriorated.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In the modern environment, negative ions are decreasing and positive ions are increasing due to the flooding of appliances and the emission of harmful gases such as exhaust gas and chemical substances from cars and factories. In addition, overwork and stress of the mind and body also generate positive ions in the body. Disruption of the harmony between the positive and negative ions also impairs human health.

[0004] That is, the human body is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic nerve) system and hormones, and this sympathetic nerve increases the excitement of the psyche, while the parasympathetic nerve tries to calm the psyche. Disruption of the balance between these two nerves leads to mental instability and various disorders to the body.

[0005] Therefore, in recent years, various devices (for example, air conditioners and air purifiers) that forcibly generate negative ions, devices having a structure in which the entire building generates negative ions, or negative ions are generated. There are various types of clothing, such as clothing sewn with a material.

However, in order to obtain the negative ion effect, various devices such as an air purifier are separately purchased, or the entire building is remodeled. This not only causes a rise in cost but also requires a large amount of labor.

[0007] Furthermore, even if the amount of negative ions is extremely large, there is a possibility that the balance may be lost and a bad environment may occur, and there is a high possibility that a large amount of negative ions will be mechanically and irregularly forcibly generated. In a conventional device / building, there is a possibility that a bad influence on the body may be caused. Further, in order to obtain the negative ion effect by using clothing, it is necessary to always wear the clothing, which has been of low practicality.

In the air of a living space, many harmful substances such as dust, cigarette smoke, and mold are floating. Indoor odors such as body odor, foodstuffs, and tobacco odors exist. Therefore, in order to sterilize and deodorize indoor living spaces, devices such as air purifiers are generally installed these days. However, even in such a case, as in the case described above, a separate capital investment was necessary, and there was a problem in terms of cost.

[0009] The inventors of the present application have conducted intensive research and have found that there is a simple and inexpensive and stable negative ion effect that can be obtained daily, and at the same time, a deodorizing and sterilizing effect. Focusing on this point, the present invention was developed.

[0010] The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fragrance which can easily and inexpensively obtain a negative ion effect. .

[0011]

Means for Solving the Problems The technical means made by the present invention to solve the above problems is to knead a ceramic that generates negative ions to form a desired shape, or to knead the mixture after kneading to obtain a desired shape. It was formed in a shape.

[0012] Further, the ceramic that generates negative ions has either a powdery or granular structure and is mixed in at least 3% by weight of the total weight of the fragrance.

[0013] The above-mentioned ceramics that generate negative ions are mainly composed of mixed rare earth and tourmaline ores.

[0014] The above-mentioned ceramics generating anions may be selected from several or all of amphibole, serpentine, quartz diorite, granite, cristobalite, tuff, calcium oxide, magnesia, silica and titanium. It may be.

[0015]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The fragrance A of the present invention is intended for all fragrances such as incense sticks, incense burns (including fine smoked incense), incense burns, and incense burns formed in a desired shape. It is made by mixing ceramic 2 that generates The incense sticks shall also include mosquito coils.

The fragrance raw material 1 is based on powder such as acne and cedar leaves, and is mixed with other well-known materials such as fragrances as needed, and is not particularly limited. Known raw materials are applied. In addition, powders of fragrances such as sandalwood, cloves, agarwood and benzoin are usually mixed, but the presence or absence of the fragrances is not particularly limited within the scope of the present invention.

The ceramic 2 that generates negative ions is not particularly limited, but a conventionally well-known ceramic that ionizes ambient air when an external action such as heat or external pressure acts is within the scope of the present invention. Adopted. It should be noted that ionizing the surrounding air when an external action such as heat or external pressure acts is only an example, and a ceramic that can generate a sufficient amount of negative ions even if it is left alone. Needless to say, this is also the object of the present invention.

[0019] For example, to give an example, a mixture of rare earth and tourmaline ore as main raw materials, amphibole, serpentine, quartz diorite, granite, cristobalite, tuff, calcium oxide, Representative examples include those composed of several or all selected from magnesia-silica and titanium.

The ceramic 2 that generates negative ions may be a mixture of a radioactive rare earth ore and a ceramic such as zircon, zirconia, alumina, silica, and the like. For example, a typical example is a mixture of natural ores and the like, such as a mixture of banetonite, xenotime, monazite, and monazite, but is not particularly limited thereto.

A ceramic capable of stably generating many negative ions is the best, and a well-known ceramic can be appropriately selected within the scope of the present invention.

Specifically, the fired ceramic is crushed into powder or formed into granules, kneaded together with the perfume raw material 1 and mixed into a desired shape, or after kneading, is finely divided into a desired shape. Forming incense A such as incense and incense

In the present embodiment, an incense stick having a general shape of a thin rod (thin rod) will be described. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this shape, and various shapes and shapes can be used within the scope of the present invention. For example, general known shapes and flora and fauna such as thick rods, rolls (for example, spiral shapes like mosquito coils), cubic shapes, spheres, domes (hemispheres), cones, pyramids, cylinders, prisms, etc.・ It is possible to select a scent formed in an arbitrary shape that simulates the desired shape of a building or the like. Even in the case of burning incense, etc., the desired shape is obtained after kneading and forming the scent material 1 and ceramic 2. For example, it is divided into a flat plate shape and a thin rod shape, and the shape and size are particularly arbitrary.

Accordingly, the incense A such as the incense stick formed in a desired shape is in a state in which the ceramics 2 which generate such negative ions are mixed on the inside and outside surfaces.

The structure of the ceramic 2 mixed with the fragrance raw material 1 is not particularly limited, but preferably has a particle size of about 50 to 100 mesh. In particular, the grain shape of the ceramic 2 does not affect the operation and effect of the present invention, and the grain size and grain shape of all the ceramics 2 to be mixed are either uniform or non-uniform. It is good and is not limited at all.

The mixing ratio of the ceramic 2 is not particularly limited, but it is assumed that the ceramic 2 is mixed at least 3% by weight or more and 20% by weight or less of the total weight of the fragrance. If it is 3% by weight or more, for example, even if the incense has a normal wire diameter and length, a sufficient amount of negative ions are generated by one combustion, and if it is less than 3% by weight, it is obtained. This is because the amount of generated negative ions is too small.

The effect of generating negative ions is better if the mixing amount of the ceramic 2 is increased, and even if it is 20% or more of the total weight of the fragrance, it is within the scope of the present invention. 3% or more and 20% or less are sufficient. Therefore, an embodiment in which 20% or more of the total fragrance is mixed is also within the scope of the present invention. In addition, it is preferable to mix about 5% because the most suitable amount of generated negative ions can be obtained from the viewpoint of cost.

Therefore, for example, when the fragrance A (for example, the incense stick shown in the drawing) thus formed is ignited and burned, a heat calorie is given to the ceramic 2 mixed by the burning phenomenon, The ceramic 2 generates negative ions, and the negative ions spread in the indoor space. In addition, according to the incense of the present invention, even if it is left as it is without burning it, sufficient negative ions are generated by the mixed ceramic.

【Example】

 "Example 1" The negative ion generating effect of the fragrance of the present invention was tested. Test incense: incense (a ceramic made from mixed rare earth and tourmaline ore as the main raw material is used by mixing and kneading 5% of the incense main raw material with kneading and molding) Temperature: 22.0 ° C Humidity: 52.0 % Measurement time: 20 minutes Sampling cycle: 1 second Moving voltage: -40.0 V Suction amount: 60.0 L / min

FIG. 3 shows the result showing the negative ion generation effect of the first embodiment. As a result, according to the incense stick of this example, generation of a considerable amount of negative ions was confirmed within a short time as shown in the data of FIG. Number of data: 1200 Positive ion average: 0 / cc Negative ion average: −3022 / cc Positive ion maximum: 0 / cc Negative ion maximum: −4314 / cc

Example 2 The deodorizing effect of the fragrance of the present invention was tested. Test incense: incense (a ceramic made from mixed rare earth and tourmaline ore as the main raw material is used by mixing and kneading and molding 5% of the incense main raw material.) Temperature: 21.2 ° C Humidity: 25.0 % Test odor: 30% aqueous solution of tolmethylamine (garbage odor) Test method: About 5 cm x 4 cm cotton is impregnated with 0.03 g of the test odor, and this is an odor box of 15 cm x 25 cm x 15 cm (5.625 ml) And sealed, and measured with a measuring instrument every hour. Then, the test odor-impregnated cotton was put into the box and the test incense was put in at the same time (without burning), and measured with a measuring instrument to compare the odor with the test odor-impregnated cotton alone. KALMOR-Σ is used as a measuring instrument.

FIG. 4 shows the results showing the deodorizing effect of Example 2. As a result, according to the incense of the present invention, the deodorizing effect was confirmed as shown in the data of FIG. In the figure, the-(solid line) line indicates the case where the test incense was added, and the ...... (dashed line) line indicates the case where only the test odor-impregnated cotton was inserted. Therefore, when the test incense was added, the limit of deodorization was shown while raising and lowering the Δ value 159 to 160 after about 6 hours.

In Examples 1 and 2 described above, data obtained with an incense stick that is not burned is used. However, if the incense stick A according to the present invention is burned under the same conditions, a more excellent negative ion effect can be achieved quickly and stably. Is obtained. Therefore, for example, the indoor space in which the incense stick A is fired becomes a comfortable, stable and good environment space similar to that of a sunset or a stroll in the forest, and provides a calm and healthy effect.

In addition, since the incense stick is made of wood, burnt odor is generally generated when the incense burns. However, according to the present invention, the burnt odor is generated due to the negative ion effect of the ceramic 2 which generates the mixed negative ions. Could also be reduced.

Since the fragrance A of the present invention does not cause any chemical change after combustion, there is no problem such as environmental pollution.

[0036]

[Effect of the invention]

 The present invention is a novel and useful fragrance having the above-described configuration. A simple, inexpensive and stable negative ion effect can be obtained simply by leaving or burning the fragrance as it is.

In other words, incense such as incense sticks are usually burned in ordinary households (especially every morning), usually one or more at a time, and are inexpensive. The effect is obtained.

For example, by burning the fragrance of the present invention every morning, the burning phenomenon gives the mixed ceramics heat calories, the ceramics generate negative ions, and the negative ions spread in the indoor space. In this way, the interior space where the incense is burned becomes a comfortable, stable and good environment space, which is the same as after a sunset or when walking in the forest, and a calm and healthy effect can be exerted.

In addition, the negative ions generated by the present invention change the air in the dirty indoor living space into clean air like a forest (deodorize and sterilize), thereby eliminating the irritating mood and a decrease in concentration. In addition, it also has the effect of bringing peace of mind and body. Furthermore, according to the incense of the present invention, the action of negative ions can create a refreshing living space without foul smoke and odor, which is very useful.
