[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a deodorant using two types of ceramics, a deodorizing method using the deodorant, a deodorant cartridge, and a deodorizing device using the deodorant. It is about.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Living space or living environment in which humans live, working environments such as factories, workshops, and offices, theaters, public halls, halls, station buildings, public facilities such as transportation facilities, and hotels where more people gather In commercial facilities such as department stores, stores, etc., the problem of odor is plagued, and in order to maintain a good environmental condition, the odor or malodor is removed from these environments permanently rather than temporarily. It becomes necessary to continue.

Under such circumstances, research has been conducted on odor removal technology for toilets at home, including technology for preventing air pollution and industrial removal technology such as odor removal technology in factories. Deodorant was developed,
Sold as a product. And what is called the deodorant or deodorant, etc., it is generally thought to be as follows when enumerating the principle and mechanism by which substances such as malodors are removed. .

Sensory deodorization: A method of masking the sensation with aromatic deodorants, mixed fragrances with a strong odor such as wood vinegar and natural products, and tree oils such as camphor oil, needle oil and eucalyptus oil. According to the method, the odor is blended according to the sense to neutralize the odor and deodorize. Chemical deodorization: A method of removing the offensive odor-causing substances such as hydrogen sulfide by utilizing the desulfurization effect of ferric sulfate such as ferric sulfate and ferric chloride, and removing the odor of acid agents, alkali agents, oxidizing agents and reducing agents. A method of removing the causative substance by chemically reacting with the causative substance, a method of removing the causative substance by adding or polymerizing substances such as lauryl methacrylate and fumarate to the causative substance, and polar ions such as sulfonated coal A method of removing a causative substance by utilizing the ion exchange action of a chemical substance having exchange ability. Physical / Chemical deodorization: A method of removing the causative substance by utilizing the chemical adsorption effect of the deodorizing resin and activated carbon surface-treated with acid / alkali agents. Physical deodorization: A method of removing a causative substance by physically adsorbing the causative substance on a porous surface such as activated carbon, zeolite, or silica gel, and a method of absorbing the causative substance by a substance such as a surfactant to remove the causative substance. Biological deodorization: A method of decomposing and deodorizing organic matter such as human waste by utilizing the action of digestive enzymes and enzymes possessed by bacteria and yeast, and reverse soap, amphoteric activator, ethylene glycol, G-11, etc. A method of removing the microorganisms that generate odor-causing substances by using the bactericidal action that it has. Deodorization not based on any of the above principles.

As described above, various deodorizing methods exist and are used at present. However, although they are temporarily deodorized, the deodorizing effect disappears soon, or Although the problem of deodorization is the most familiar problem, such as deodorization only in the field, an effective deodorization method has not been found.

[0006]

Conventionally, industrial facilities such as meat processing, pulp industry, pharmaceutical factories, fat refining plants, etc. that generate offensive odors are equipped with an industrial removal device to remove the odors and offensive odors. Although it has been devised,
It is practically very difficult to remove this odor and prevent leakage.

[0007] Further, odors in the toilets of homes, buildings, hotels, airplanes, railway cars, etc., odors generated in medical facilities such as hospitals, odors caused by sick people in the ward, odors in the photo lab, refrigerators In many cases, it is possible to temporarily remove the odors from vehicles, cigarettes, pets, etc. in vehicles such as automobiles and railway vehicles, but the following odors are immediately generated, and It is a daily experience that the bad odor cannot be removed continuously, and the removal of these odors is a problem.

[0008] Further, in a product display case, particularly a display case for food or cakes, it is easy for an odor to cling to the case. Must be prevented. However, in reality, it is difficult to remove the scent of a specific product or the like from the product case, and the removal of these odors or aromas is a problem.

However, when trying to remove odors such as the above-mentioned toilets, developing rooms, animal odors, etc., although various various ideas have been proposed, there is no efficient or strong deodorant. In many cases, the deodorizing effect is not improved, and practically no measures are taken.

For example, in the case of refrigerators, various deodorants are commercially available, but these are mainly active carbon, and the effect is not so good or the effect does not last sufficiently. There are problems such as not being effective.

In the case of a toilet, liquid chemicals must be sprayed many times a day, and aerosol type must be sprayed each time, and aromas and odors are used with air fresheners. However, it is practically difficult to carry out such a case except for a home toilet. For example, in the case of trains and airplanes, there are various restrictions, so it is not possible to use deodorants very much, and it is not possible to devise various ideas. Furthermore, once the odor has diffused into the space, its removal is extremely difficult and practically impossible in most cases.

[0012] In the case of a hospital or a ward, particularly when an elderly person is a patient, a bad odor derived from urine odor, fecal odor, body odor, etc. is likely to be generated in the sickroom, which tends to make the patient sick and is not always good for hygiene. However, the current situation is that not only the patient himself but also the caregiver and other medical staff suffer headaches, but effective treatment means are not available.

Further, in the photographic developing room, odors of various chemicals are generated along with the photographic developing process, and although it leaks from the developing machine, it is impossible to process the odors. Due to the restriction that it must be kept underneath, the odor tends to be muffled and no effective odor removing means has been found.

In the case of displaying products such as foods and cakes, it is difficult for the odor of other products to be transferred, and a deodorant that poses a food hygiene problem or a deodorant that may damage the product image is used. It cannot be used. In many offices and offices, smoking is prohibited in ordinary offices, and smoking rooms are often established.However, since the smell of this cigarette spreads indoors, smoking in smoking rooms and smoking areas A strong odor remains, which is practically difficult to remove.

In addition, not only in households where animals are kept as pets, but also in places where animals are raised, strong odors derived from animals are generated and stood up, and their removal has not been realized. For example, the odor derived from the chicken itself and chicken droppings is intense in a poultry house, and at best it is necessary to keep the poultry house clean. It is practically impossible to reduce the odor.

On the other hand, looking at the material itself used for the deodorant, the generally widely used one is activated carbon. For example, it is used not only as an air-conditioning system to remove human body odors, smells of cigarettes and cooking, odors and irritants generated in the production process from the air in buildings, but also as deodorants for refrigerators. .

This activated carbon is produced, for example, by activating raw material carbon by chemical treatment or gas treatment. Most of the activated carbon has a granular form, but in some cases, it is a combination of granular activated carbon and fibrous form.

However, since activated carbon basically adsorbs and removes odors, it is often experienced in daily life that it is not so effective because there is a certain limit to the amount of adsorbed odors. is there.

Further, ozone may be used from the viewpoint of deodorization and sterilization. However, ozone is not necessarily a good deodorant because it is accompanied by ozone odor and is harmful to the human body.

[0020]

[Means for Solving the Problems] From such a point of view, while searching for a deodorant that is more effective than before, by chance, a material that becomes a deodorant completely different from the conventional type was discovered. By combining these, it is possible to achieve an unprecedented excellent deodorizing effect that can remove odors such as toilet odors, body odors, cigarettes, and chemical odors in the developing room that have spread to the air.

The molded inorganic material A and the molded inorganic material B used in the deodorant of the present invention contain impurities to the extent that they do not affect the deodorizing action or deodorizing action, since impurities are inevitably introduced during production. You can

The present invention can achieve an excellent deodorizing effect which has never been obtained by adopting the above-mentioned constitution. What principle is used for this deodorizing? Although it is unclear, it may belong to deodorization that is not based on the other above-mentioned principles in view of the classification of conventional deodorization principles.

In the case of the deodorant cartridge in which the deodorant of the present invention is filled, the cartridge is
A holding member, which is a member through which air easily passes, is provided on the upper surface and the bottom surface or the lower surface of a container having a shape such as a cylindrical shape or a hollow truncated cone, and the deodorant is filled therein.

Examples of members through which air can easily pass include members such as a net or mesh made of plastic, a net or mesh made of metal, a non-woven fabric, or a cloth-like material having a coarse mesh. Any member can be used as this member as long as it allows the air to be deodorized to pass through and holds the deodorant, which is the content, in the cartridge.
Alternatively, different materials may be used, such as a combination of metal net and non-woven fabric.

The shape of the cartridge body may be various, but a shape suitable for the shape of the deodorizing device is usually used. For example, if the deodorizing device has a conical shape, it may have a truncated cone shape, and if it has a cylindrical shape, it may have a cylindrical shape. However, various shapes are used depending on the design. it can.

In the case of a car such as a passenger car, it is conceivable that the deodorizing device is made into a component and incorporated into the front panel. In such a case, a quadrangular prism shape is also used.

Examples of the cartridge material include plastic, metal, ceramics and paper. Plastic is the most convenient and easy to process, but paper, metal such as aluminum alloy, or ceramic member is also advantageous depending on the intended use. Used for.

The deodorant cartridge thus constructed may be replaced with a new one when the deodorizing ability is deteriorated, and is extremely convenient when used by incorporating it in the deodorizing device. Further, the present invention relates to a deodorizing device using a deodorant.

In the case of the deodorant device, a deodorant and a fan are combined, and the deodorant may be used in the form of a cartridge or packed in a bag-like material such as a net. As will be described later, the deodorant of the present invention can be expected to have a considerable deodorizing effect even when it is allowed to stand, but when combined with a fan, it has an excellent effect on deodorizing indoors.

Various shapes of the deodorizing device can be considered. To put it indoors, such as a cone shape or a column shape,
Good looking items are good. On the other hand, in automobiles, airplanes, etc., it is preferable to have a shape such that it can be easily incorporated into a wall or as a front panel.

When it is necessary to deodorize strongly, it can be dealt with by increasing the amount of the deodorant used with a fan which is somewhat powerful.

However, as a fan, a motor which is driven by a voltage of about 6 V is generally sufficient, and a battery can be built into the device for electricity and an external power source may be used. . A fan using a more powerful motor may be used, but it may be appropriately selected depending on the purpose. For example, 1 when installing in a factory
A fan with a voltage of 2V or higher may be used.

The main structure of the deodorizing device is a deodorant or a combination of this cartridge and a fan.
The deodorant (or this cartridge) may be provided with fans on both sides, or may be a fan-deodorant-fan-deodorant-fan laminated structure.

Then, not only the air to be deodorized is sent by a fan from the back of a cartridge or the like packed with the deodorant to deodorize it, but also the air is sucked by the fan from the deodorant from the deodorizer. Deodorized air may be released.

These deodorants, deodorizing methods, deodorant cartridges and deodorizing devices are used in the interior of vehicles such as automobiles, toilets including vehicles and aircraft, refrigerators / freezers, photofinishing rooms, animal breeding rooms, It is especially effective in removing odors and odors from hospitals and wards.

As described above, this ceramic deodorant has an excellent deodorizing effect. When the deodorizing ceramics of the present invention is filled in, for example, a cartridge and the filled layer is forcedly ventilated by a fan, a higher deodorizing effect can be achieved. By doing so, it is possible to remove odors and odors filled in the space such as the room. For example, when a pet such as a dog is kept indoors, it has an excellent effect.

Further, applied inorganic material A and applied inorganic material B
When used in combination, immunity becomes stronger and it is good for your health.

Next, the deodorizing method will be described. The deodorant of the present invention is effective even if it is directly installed at the place where it is desired to deodorize, but it takes some time, so it can be effectively deodorized by combining it with a fan. There are actually two possible combinations with the fan: fan-deodorant and fan-deodorant-fan. The structure in which fans are arranged before and after the deodorant is particularly effective in an atmosphere with a bad smell. Further, even if the odor is bad, the deodorant effect can be enhanced even with the structure of the fan-deodorant by increasing the amount of the deodorant used, which is effective. If such a structure is adopted and the deodorizing device is in the form of a building member, a vehicle member, an automobile member, etc., it can be easily installed in a desired place such as an interior or a vehicle or an aircraft. Most preferably it is used in the form.

Further, it is very convenient to use it as a figurine type with various decorations or various shapes such as a table clock, and by doing so, a very excellent effect can be obtained. .

The supports 33, 33 'provided on both end faces of the deodorant cartridge are made of a material such as a net or mesh of plastic or metal that allows air to easily pass therethrough and easily holds the deodorant in the cartridge. Lattice-shaped or non-woven fabric is used.

In the deodorizing device of this example, the deodorizing device main body 31 and the bottom member 40 are configured to be attached and detached by themselves, and the deodorant cartridge can be replaced.

The air flow 41 to be deodorized passes through the air inlet port 36, the fan 38, the hollow portion 42 of the cartridge supporting member, the deodorant layer, and the hollow portion 42 '.
The fan 38 'discharges air 41' from the air outlet 37 to deodorize the air.

In this example, the path through the deodorant cartridge is longer than in the other examples, so that the air flow to be deodorized by two fans, that is, one fan, is used to remove the deodorant layer. The air deodorized by another fan is forcibly sucked and discharged.

A terminal (not shown) is provided on the lower part of the side surface of the deodorizing device so that the two fans can be energized from the outside, and these terminals and the fan are connected by wiring (not shown). There is.

The third example is suitable as a deodorizing device for a factory or a large room. Examples of confirmation of the deodorizing effect using the deodorant of the present invention will be shown below, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0096]

EXAMPLES Example 1 The deodorizing effect was tested by using the deodorizing apparatus equipped with the cartridge filled with the deodorant of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. In a newly built house, the scent of paint used, the scent of the wallpaper and the adhesive used for pasting, and the odor derived from building materials are mixed and filled in the house.In some cases, the odor remains for months. I often do it. For this reason, it is the current situation that the air is normally ventilated throughout the day and the odor is released.

Then, when deodorization was started using the above deodorant device, the odor disappeared in about one week. In addition, the drain of the kitchen sink emits a bad odor, so when I put a deodorizer in the kitchen to remove the odor,
It disappeared in 3 days. In this way, it was found that it has the effect of deodorizing the odor in the new house, the odor in the drainage port of the sink, etc.

Example 2 In a kitchen at home, an odor is generated along with cooking, and an offensive odor is also generated from vegetable waste, tea scraps and the like. These odors tend to be muffled in the kitchen and stick to the walls and other odors, and a variety of odors are mixed together and left as they are. Therefore, when deodorization was started using the same type of deodorizing device used in Example 1, the odor was taken in about 1 hour. After continuing deodorizing for 3 consecutive days, the use was discontinued, and the deodorizing effect continued for 1 to 2 days.

Example 3 In a wooden house, a musty odor is generated especially when it gets old, and it is the current situation that it is ventilated and smells. However, when the ventilation is stopped, a musty odor is generated immediately. So, in one room of a wooden apartment (about 10 tatami mat size),
Deodorization was performed using the same type of deodorizer as in Example 1. In about a day, the conventional moldlessness disappeared.

Example 4 Individuals often take photographs and develop them as a hobby. When developing at home, a strong offensive odor is generated due to acetic acid generated from the developer, which causes the product to stay in the room or to stick to walls and open windows every day to smell. However, there were problems such as that the room could not be used for a few days or a week, or that the room could not be used. Then, when the same deodorizing device as that used in Example 1 was used to deodorize, it was deodorized in almost one day. Similarly, when I made sushi rice in the dining room, the odor of vinegar was found all over the room, but it was deodorized using the deodorizer.

Example 5 A deodorant test was conducted on the living room (10 tatami mats) of a renovated condominium using the same type of deodorizing device as used in Example 1. A room that has just been refurbished will generate a variety of mixed odors from adhesives, paints, building materials, etc., similar to a newly built house. This causes a bad odor with eye pain and is not so easy to remove. Then, when the deodorizing device was used to deodorize, the malodor could not be completely eliminated within 48 hours, but it was not accompanied by eye pain. After 48 hours, no odor was felt.

Example 6 In a room where an old man wakes up or is bedridden in each home or the like, a window is created due to the smell unique to the old man and various odors associated with life, such as urine odor and odor emission associated with changing diapers. It cannot be removed by opening it.
For this reason, family members and medical / nursing care personnel are obsessed with this scent, but there is nothing we can do about it.Children do not come near because of the strange smell in the room, and family members should not be as close as possible except when nursing care is needed. The current situation. Therefore, when the same deodorizing device as that used in Example 1 was used to deodorize, the odor disappeared after 4 hours.

Example 7 Recently, the number of households having dogs indoors as pets is increasing. In such a case, not only the odor peculiar to dogs, but also odor from dog urine, dung, and food may be generated, and even if the windows are opened, the odor may temporarily disappear, but the odor can be found all over the house. Is angry and sways his head. Therefore, when the same deodorizing device as that used in Example 1 was used for deodorizing, the deodorizing was successful. Similarly, when deodorizing a house with two dogs and a canary, the deodorizing effect was obtained. Also, the deodorizing effect was tested on the side of the dog's sand toilet. Conventionally, even if the sand toilet was changed frequently, a bad odor was generated, and it was disturbed by the odor, but when deodorizing with the deodorant device of the present invention, the odor disappeared and it was so forgetful to replace the sand. there were.

Example 8 The deodorant effect was tested in the dining room of a medium-sized passenger ship. The dining room is adjacent to the cooking room, and the door between the cooking room and the dining room remains open. The cafeteria can also be a rest for crew members, and the smell of smoking is constantly generated, and this odor is flowing out of the cafeteria into the hallway. Therefore, when the same deodorizing device as that used in Example 1 was confirmed to have a deodorizing effect in one corner of the dining room, it was deodorized without causing the smell of the cigarette in the dining room to be emitted into the corridor. It was

Example 9 A deodorant test was carried out in the living room of a normal house using the same deodorizing apparatus as used in Example 1. Tobacco smells in the living room so far, and the smell of cigarettes soaked up, and when returning home, smokers were concerned about the smell of cigarettes in the room. When I deodorized using this deodorant device, I could smell the cigarette in the living room,
When I got home, I didn't smell the cigarette.

Example 10 A deodorant test was conducted using the same deodorant device as that used in Example 1 in a workshop where weaving a textile of folk art using wool yarn. In such a textile work place, the bad odor derived from wool is filled, and the work environment cannot be said to be good. Then, when the deodorizer was used to deodorize, the bad odor derived from the wool disappeared.

Example 11 A deodorizing device equipped with a cartridge filled with the deodorant of the present invention shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 was used to test the deodorizing effect in a smoking area of a hospital. In the smoking areas of hospitals, not only outpatients but also hospital personnel often smoke here, and the smell of cigarettes is intense. With conventional deodorizers, it was almost impossible to deodorize odors that had diffused into the air.

Then, when the deodorizing device was used to deodorize, the smell of cigarette disappeared. After that, when the deodorizing device was removed, the smell of cigarettes soon became apparent. Similarly, when the deodorizing effect was tested in a large smoking room in a similar space to the office, when it entered the smoking room from the outside about one day after the deodorization was started, the smell of the cigarette disappeared. Since it is a smoking room, employees come and smoke at an appropriate time, but at the beginning of smoking, it smells of cigarettes, but soon this smoke has the effect of eliminating the smell.

Example 12 In an ordinary office, it is apt to be considered that no odor is generated, but an odor peculiar to the office is generated even if the odor is not so bad. This is something we often experience every day when we try to enter the office from the corridor, for example, and the odor unique to that room is felt.

Therefore, the deodorizing effect of the deodorant of the present invention was tested in the office. The office room is about 300 square meters in size and has doors open to the rooms on both sides. In the office, more than 40 people work all the time, office equipment such as large-sized copiers, large-sized telephone fax machines, and computer terminals are installed, and there is a smoking area and tea facility in one corner. The office room felt an odor when going to work in the morning, but the same type of deodorizing device as that used in Example 11 was installed on one desk when leaving the office at night and deodorized overnight. I didn't feel the traditional smell when I went to work in the morning. When I entered one of the two rooms without the deodorizer installed, I felt a strong odor. The office room was very refreshing with no mud odor.

Example 13 In a large-scale warehouse for storing foods and the like, the smells derived from dry matter and the like and the odors emitted from various foods are full, and the scents of the warehouse ceiling, wall surface, etc. are absorbed. It could not be practically removed. For this reason, it is the current situation that the people involved have a headache when loading and unloading the warehouse. Therefore, when the deodorizing device of the same type as that used in Example 11 was installed in a large food warehouse and a deodorizing test was conducted, the conventional deodorizing equipment was used even if it entered and left the warehouse within a few days. I no longer smell.

As described above, it was found that there is a deodorizing effect on the smell that is accumulated in a large warehouse and is generated. Similarly, in large theaters, carpets are laid on the floor, which may cause dust and generate a scent that is peculiar to the theater, so the audience seats are not always in a comfortable state. Therefore, when a similar deodorizing device was placed in the rear corner of the theater and a deodorant test of the odor of the theater was conducted, the air had a deodorizing effect and the air was refreshing.
