BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of a method for producing a plant charcoal-based material according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. (Corresponding to Claim 1 ) FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing steps of a method for producing a plant charcoal-based material according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 1, step S-1 shows the step of loading and arranging vegetables and fruits in a kiln for carbonizing. Next step S
-2 shows a step of loading and arranging bamboo materials in the same pot. Further, in step S-3, there is shown a step of heating the refractory brick previously installed in the kettle with gas. Furthermore, in step S-4, step S-3
This is a process in which the refractory bricks heated in 2 indirectly heat vegetables and fruits. If vegetables and fruits become carbonized by indirect heating, they are then cooled in step S-5.

A method for producing a charcoal-based vegetable or fruit produced by these steps will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram schematically showing a state in the gas kiln used in the method for producing a plant charcoal-based material according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, a plurality of shelves 5 are provided inside the kiln 1. For example, newspapers, which are not shown, are laid on the shelves, and vegetables 2, such as eggplant, and fruits, such as summer mandarin orange, are placed on the shelves. 3 or 4 nuts such as pine cones and chestnuts are lined up. This newspaper rug prevents the liquid leakage from the fruits 3, especially when heated, from dripping onto the vegetables 2, fruits 3 and nuts 4 arranged on the lower shelf 5. is there. Further, between the shelves 5, support columns 6 for holding the respective shelves 5 are provided.

Further, the bamboo material arranged under the lowermost shelf will be described. Refractory bricks 8 are arranged below the lowermost shelf 5, and bamboo materials 9 are arranged thereon. Since this bamboo material 9 contains oil, the oil is volatilized by heating, and the volatilized oil adheres to the surface of the vegetables 2, fruits 3 or nuts 4 to generate a luster at the same time as carbonization. . Although the loading of the bamboo material 9 is shown as a step after the loading and arranging step of the vegetables and fruits in step S-2 in FIG. 1, it is not necessary to perform in this order, and the bamboo material 9 is first loaded in the kiln 1. You may bring it in. Step S-1 and step S shown in FIG.
The order of -2 is not limited to that order, and vice versa.

A gas supply pipe 7 is provided below the refractory brick 8, and the flame 7a heats the refractory brick 8. When the refractory bricks 8 are heated by gas, the gas flame 7a causes vegetables 2 and fruits 3
This is because if the tree nut 4 is directly hit, the fire is too strong and the carbide is crushed or destroyed. Therefore, first, gas is discharged from the gas supply pipe 7 to heat the refractory bricks 8 by the flames 7a thereof, and the heated refractory bricks 8 indirectly heat the vegetables 2, fruits 3 and nuts 4. By indirectly heating and smoking as described above, the original shape of the vegetables 2, fruits 3, or nuts 4 can be retained. Therefore, it is possible to produce a carbide having a deodorizing effect and a dehumidifying effect which are included in the carbide, and a relaxation effect which softens the mind of the viewer.

It should be noted that step S-3 and step S-4 in FIG. 1 are not shown as completely separable steps. That is, when the gas is supplied from the gas supply pipe 7 as shown in FIG. 2 and heated by the flame 7a, the refractory brick 8 is first heated, and then the gas is stopped to remove the vegetables 2, fruits 3 or tree nuts 4. It does not mean that the residual heat from the refractory bricks 8 indirectly heats. In the present embodiment, vegetables 2, fruits 3 and tree nuts 4 are illustrated as items to be loaded into the kiln 1. However, the present invention is not limited to these and, for example, even in flowers and the like, a good result of carbide production is obtained. . Further, in the present embodiment, the refractory bricks were heated by gas, but it is not limited to refractory bricks, as long as it is strong against heat and has a certain heat capacity to transfer heat, a block of rock or stone or Pottery or porcelain may be used.

Further, the time condition for indirectly heating will be described. According to the experiments by the applicants, it was found that the heating time is preferably 4 hours to 16 hours. This time variation naturally changes depending on the object to be heated. For example, if only pine cones or small tree nuts are used, the time will be close to 4 hours. Time approaches 16 hours. Further, it goes without saying that it is also related to the amount of the object to be heated. By heating within such a time, it is possible to obtain a carbide that can maintain a better shape.

The temperature conditions for indirectly heating will be described. Also according to the experiments by the applicants, it was found that the heating temperature is preferably 350 ° C to 1200 ° C. Experimental results have been obtained that, if the temperature is 350 ° C. or lower, no matter how long it takes, only the material is dried or, so to speak, half-boiled and does not become a carbide. On the other hand, if it is 1200 ° C. or higher, carbonization is extremely advanced, and almost ash is formed. Within this range, about 370 ° C. is particularly suitable. By heating within such a temperature, it is possible to obtain a carbide capable of maintaining a better shape. In addition, although the case where gas was used as a heat source for heating the kiln 1 has been described in the present embodiment, it is not limited to gas, and if kerosene or kerosene can be achieved as long as a suitable heating temperature as described above can be achieved. Any heat source such as electricity may be used. Furthermore, the cooling time in the cooling step shown in step S-5 of FIG. 1 will be further described here. This cooling is a process provided for the charcoal to ignite if the inside of the kiln remains hot. Specifically, when the temperature of the kiln is 80 ° C or higher and the lid of the kiln is opened, charcoal is ignited. Therefore, it is usually necessary to cool the kiln after opening the kiln for the same cooling time as the heating time in steps S-3 and S-4.

Next, with reference to FIG. 3, an embodiment relating to a deodorant using a plant charcoal according to the method for producing a plant charcoal according to the present invention will be described. (Corresponding to claim 2 ) FIG.
It is a partial cross-sectional view of the deodorant according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 3, a cushioning material 13 is laid on a bamboo basket 10 having a handle 10a, a sheet 12 is laid thereon, and bamboo charcoal 11 is first placed. Since the bamboo charcoal 11 is light and absorbs the shock well, a better cushioning effect can be obtained by adopting a structure in which the bamboo charcoal 11 is added to the cushioning material 13. Furthermore, the charcoal-based substances of vegetables 2, fruits 3 and nuts 4 produced by the method for producing charcoal-based plants according to the embodiment of the present invention are arranged thereon. In the deodorizing agent thus configured, not only the deodorizing effect is exerted by the vegetables 2, fruits 3 and tree nuts 4, but also the deodorizing effect is exerted by the bamboo charcoal 11 provided under the deodorizing agent. Moreover, since the bamboo charcoal 11 is provided in the lower portion of the bamboo basket 10 as described above, it cannot be seen from the outside.

Further, the vegetables 2, fruits 3 and tree nuts 4 maintain the shape as they were before being carbonized, and in addition to the deodorizing effect and the dehumidifying effect, they exert a relaxation effect on the person who sees them. . Since these vegetables 2, fruits 3 and nuts 4 are carbides and are also brittle, it is important to maintain their shape, but the cushioning material 13 and bamboo charcoal 11 laid under the bamboo basket 10 are the bamboo baskets 10. The vegetables 2, fruits 3 and nuts 4 can be stably present in the bamboo basket 10 in order to absorb the impact applied to the bamboo basket 10. Since the deodorant in the present embodiment is a charcoal-based material while maintaining the appearance of vegetables 2, fruits 3 and nuts 4 as it is, it has a relaxation effect in addition to the deodorizing effect and dehumidifying effect as described above. Therefore, for example, by decorating such a deodorant at the entrance or windowsill, or by placing it in a hospital, library, or nursing home, not only the deodorant effect but also the relaxation effect have a positive psychological effect on the viewer. Will be a great effect. Further, from such an effect, it is suitable to be installed in a commercial place such as a Japanese restaurant or a Japanese restaurant. In the present embodiment, bamboo charcoal is placed under the carbide of vegetables 2, fruits 3 or nuts 4, but charcoal or other charcoal may be placed.

[0020]

As described above, in the method for producing a carbonized plant of the present invention, in addition to exhibiting the deodorizing effect and the dehumidifying effect of the charcoal-based material, the carbonization is carried out while maintaining the original shape of the target plant to be the carbonized material. It is possible to produce a carbide that has a relaxing effect, that is, it can soften the mind of the person who sees the carbide. Also,
It not only maintains the shape, but also has the effect of improving the color and luster. Further, there is an effect that the carbide can be produced while maintaining the shape of the plant better. In the deodorant according to claim 2 , the shock absorbing effect is obtained by the cushioning material, and the deodorizing and dehumidifying effects by the plant charcoal are exhibited, and at the same time, the decorative and relaxation effects are exhibited by the plant charcoal visible from the container. It Furthermore
In addition, bamboo charcoal or charcoal has a further impact absorbing effect and can more stably retain the plant charcoal, and at the same time, not only the plant charcoal but also the high deodorizing effect and dehumidifying effect of bamboo charcoal or charcoal are exhibited.
