【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、厨芥を微生物等により処理する厨芥処理装置に関す
る。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
担体に培養される微生物により有機物を分解する有機物処理装置は、微生物の活動に適した環境に保つことが重要である。そこで従来から、処理槽の内部に外気を取り込む給気手段と処理槽の内部を加熱する加熱手段とを備え、給気手段及び加熱手段により、処理槽内の空気量及び水分量を適正に保つと共に、処理槽内を目標温度に保つようにしている。
【0003】
加熱手段としては、シート状の基材にヒータ芯線を埋設したパネルヒータを処理槽の外壁に配設し、ヒータ芯線への通電により処理槽の内部を加熱する簡素な構成の加熱手段が多く採用されており、図11に示す如く、ヒータ芯線6上に配設されてヒータ芯線6の温度を検知するサーミスタ7と、外気温度を検知する図示しない外気温度検知サーミスタとの2つのサーミスタを使用し、2つのサーミスタの出力に基づいてヒータ芯線への通電を制御する構成としている。
【0004】
この構成であれば、外気温度検知サーミスタが所定温度以下を検知した場合には、ヒータ芯線6への通電をONにする。通電後は図12に示す如く、ヒータ芯線6の温度が上昇してT2に達すると、サーミスタBがその温度を検知して、ヒータ芯線6への通電をOFFにする。その後ヒータ芯線6の温度が降下してT1に達すると、サ−ミスタ7がその温度を検知して、ヒータ芯線6への通電をONにする。外気温度が所定温度を超えなければ、以上のようなヒータのON/OFF制御を繰り返す。
【0005】
しかしながら、サーミスタ7はヒータ芯線6上に配設されており、サーミスタ7はヒータ芯線6の温度のみを検知するので、ヒータのON/OFF制御のON時間とOFF時間との比率は外気温度に関係なく一定になってしまい、処理槽内担体に供給する熱量は一定になる。
【0006】
従って、外気温度が低い冬季等では、周囲温度の影響によりヒータから供給される熱量では不足し、処理槽内担体の温度が低下するので、微生物の活動が低下し、有機物処理効率が悪化する欠点がある。
【0007】
また、ヒータへの通電を判別する基準となる所定温度より、外気温度が多少低い春や秋等には、ヒータから過度に供給される熱量により、処理槽内担体の温度は高くなり過ぎるので、微生物の活動が低下し、有機物処理効率が悪化すると共に、ヒータの電気代を無駄に消費する欠点がある。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記欠点に鑑みなされたもので、簡単な構成で常時安定した処理状態を維持することができる厨芥処理装置を提供することを課題とする。
【0009】

【0011】
上記課題を解決するための第3の手段は、担体を収納し、厨芥の分解処理を行う処理槽と、該処理槽を被う本体ケースと、該本体ケースに形成された吸気口と、前記処理槽に形成された吸込口と、前記本体ケースと処理槽との間に形成され、吸気口と吸込口とを連通する空気流路と、前記処理槽外壁に、空気流路に臨ませて配設された、シート状の基材にヒータ芯線を埋設したヒータと、該ヒータの温度を検知する温度検知部と、該温度検知部の出力に基づいてヒータを制御する制御部とを備え、前記温度検知部をシート状の基材と処理槽外壁との間のヒータ芯線近傍に装着したことを特徴とする。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の一実施形態を図面に基づいて以下に詳述する。
【0013】
1はおがくず等の木質細片及び活性炭からなる担体2を収納する上面開口の処理槽で、上面開口に複数の切欠部3を有している。前記切欠部3は処理槽1外壁と後述する本体ケースとの間に形成した空気流路を介して後述する吸気口11に連通している。
【0014】
4は前記処理槽1内の厨芥が堆積される位置に対応する処理槽1外面に装着され、空気流路に臨ませた面状ヒータである。該面状ヒータ4は矩形シート状の基材5に、長手方向に複数回折り返したヒータ芯線6を埋設して構成されているが、面状ヒータ4下部の長手方向の端部にはヒータ芯線6が埋設されない低温部を形成し、ヒータ芯線6の温度を検知するサーミスタ7を空気流路に臨ませ且つヒータ芯線6から所定間隔(本実施の形態では27mm)離して、低温部と処理槽1との間に挟持している。
【0015】
8は前記面状ヒータ4が異常加熱した時に、面状ヒータ4への通電を遮断する温度ヒューズである。
【0016】
前記サーミスタ7はヒータ芯線6から所定間隔離して装着することにより、サーミスタ7の温度検知の感度を鈍らせ、ヒータ芯線6の温度のみならず、処理槽1外壁の温度変化及び後述する空気流路の温度変化も検知するようにし、検知した出力に基づいて、処理槽1内に投入された厨芥を摂氏35度〜60度に維持するように制御している。
【0017】
9は前記処理槽1側面の、後述する排出筒14の近傍に設けた吸込口で、前記切欠部3と同様に、処理槽1外面と後述する本体ケースとの間に形成した空気流路を介して吸気口11に連通している。
【0018】
10は合成樹脂製の下ケースで、前記処理槽1を載置するようになっており、後述する上ケース24とで本体ケースを構成している。11は前記下ケース10背面側に形成された吸気口である。
【0019】
12は前記処理槽1の後壁上部に、処理槽1の左右方向にわたって形成された凹所で、該凹所12の両端部に、処理槽1に連通する吸込筒13及び排出筒14を下方に向かって延設している。前記排出筒14は処理槽1後壁により前後に区画されており、後壁より前方部分が処理槽1内に連通し、後述する循環路の一部を構成すると共に、後壁より後方部分は、処理槽1背面に形成された排気路15を介して、下ケース10に形成された排気口16に連通している。
【0020】
17は前記凹所12底面との間に空間を形成した状態で凹所12上方を被い、凹所12に螺子固定される基板収納ケースで、面状ヒータ4、後述するファン19及び電動機21を制御する制御回路を載置した制御基板18を収納しており、前記凹所12と基板収納ケース17との間の空間、吸気筒13及び排出筒14の前方部分により処理槽1内の空気を循環させる循環路を構成している。
【0021】
19は前記排出筒14に装着されたファンで、該ファン19の駆動により処理槽1内の空気が吸込筒13から吸い込まれ、凹所12と基板収納ケース17との間の空間を介して排出筒14から排出されるが、前記排出筒14は処理槽1後壁により前後に区画されているため、吸気筒13から吸引された空気は循環路を介して処理槽1内を循環すると共に、この空気の一部が排出筒14の後方部分から排気路15を介して排気口16から外部へ排気される。
【0022】
20は前記処理槽1上部に吸込筒13に隣接して凹設された凹部で、電動機21が配設されている。前記電動機21は、減速機構部22により電動機21の回転を減速して後述する撹拌体23を回転駆動するようになっている。
【0023】
23は前記処理槽1内に回転自在に配設された撹拌体で、処理槽1両側面を貫通し、軸受24に回転自在に軸支された撹拌軸25と、撹拌軸25に固定される複数の撹拌翼26とから構成されている。
【0024】
27は前記処理槽1を被う合成樹脂製の上ケースで、両側面下部及び後面下部を下ケース10に螺子固定し、下ケース10と上ケース27とで本体ケースを構成するようになっている。
【0025】
28は前記上ケース27上面に形成された投入開口で、開口縁を処理槽1内に延設している。29は前記上ケース27上面に揺動自在に支持された蓋体で、投入開口28を開閉自在に閉塞するようになっている。
【0026】
而して、蓋体29を開放し、投入開口28から処理槽1内に厨芥を投入し、蓋体29を閉成する。蓋体29の閉成を図示しない検出手段が検出し、その出力に基づいて制御回路が電動機21、面状ヒータ4及びファン19に通電する。
【0027】
電動機21及び面状ヒータ4への通電により、撹拌体23が回転して担体2と厨芥とを混合すると共に、処理槽1内温度を好気性微生物等の活性化に最適な範囲に維持して、担体2に培養される好気性微生物等により厨芥を二酸化炭素と水に分解して堆肥化する。
【0028】
また、ファン19への通電により、処理槽1内の空気を循環路を介して循環させ、厨芥の分解により生じる水分を気化し、担体2の含水量を好気性微生物の活性化に最適な範囲に維持すると共に、好気性微生物の活性化に必要な酸素を供給する。
【0029】
処理槽1内を循環する空気の一部は、排出筒14の後方部分から排気路15及び排気口16を介して本体ケース外へ排気され、処理槽1内の空気が過湿状態となるのを防止し、処理槽1内の水分除去効率を向上させると共に、好気性微生物の活性化を図り、厨芥処理能力を向上させる。
【0030】
処理槽1内の空気が外部へ排気されるのに伴い、下ケース10に形成した吸気口11から本体ケース内に外気を取り入れ、処理槽1側面に形成された吸込口9及び処理槽1上部開口に設けた複数の切欠部3から処理槽1内に供給されるが、本体ケース内に取り入れた空気は、面状ヒータ4により加熱され、しかも、処理槽1内を循環する空気と混合するので、冬季等の外気温度が低い時でも、処理槽1内の温度を大きく低下させることがない。
【0031】
また、処理槽1内への空気供給は吸込口9及び複数の切欠部3から行うので、供給される空気の風速が低下すると共に、処理槽1全周から分散させて、空気を取り入れるようにしたので、供給される空気が一箇所に集中し、風速を増して担体2の一部に接触することによる、担体2表面の乾燥を防止することができる。
【0032】
本発明の構成による、外気温度と面状ヒータ4の制御との関係は図7乃至図9のようになっている。
【0033】
サーミスタ7は、空気流路に臨ませ且つヒータ芯線6から所定間隔離して装着しているので、ヒータ芯線6近傍の温度が上昇して、初めてヒータ芯線6の温度を検知する。
【0034】
サーミスタ7が所定温度T1以下の温度を検知すると、制御部はヒータ芯線6への通電をONにし、サーミスタ7が所定温度T1より高い所定温度T2を検知すると、制御部はヒータ芯線6への通電をOFFにする。
【0035】
冬季等の外気温度が低い時には、空気流路を通過する冷えた外気の影響により、ヒータ芯線6近傍の温度上昇速度が遅くなり、サーミスタ7が所定温度T2を検知するまでに時間を要するので、ON時間が長くなる。また、ヒータ芯線6への通電がOFFになると、ヒータ芯線6近傍は外気により冷やされ、サーミスタ7は所定温度T1を短時間で検知するのでOFF時間が短くなる(図8参照)。
【0036】
従って、面状ヒータ4から処理槽1内担体2に供給される熱量を増加させるので、周囲温度の低下による影響もなく、処理槽1内担体2の温度を微生物の活性化に最適な温度に維持することができる。また、処理槽1内に供給される冷えた外気は、熱量を増加させた面状ヒータ4により余分に加熱されるので、処理槽1内の温度低下を抑制することができる。
【0037】
一方、春や秋等の比較的暖かい時には、空気流路を通過する暖かい外気の影響により、ヒータ芯線6近傍の温度上昇速度が速くなり、サーミスタ7が所定温度T2を短時間で検知するので、ON時間が短くなる。また、ヒータ芯線6への通電がOFFになると、ヒータ芯線6近傍は暖かい外気により冷えにくくなり、サーミスタ7は所定温度T1を検知するまでに時間を要するので、OFF時間が長くなる(図9参照)。
【0038】
従って、面状ヒータ4から処理槽1内担体2に供給される熱量を減少させて、処理槽1内担体2の温度を微生物の活性化に最適な温度に維持することができる。さらに、面状ヒータ4のOFF時間が長くなるので、電気代が節約できる。
【0039】
また、サーミスタ7は処理槽1外壁に装着しているので、担体2の含水率の変化によっても面状ヒータ4を制御することができる。
【0040】
即ち、図7に示す如く、担体2の含水率が80%の時には、水分が過剰で処理状態が悪くなっている。この時、担体2の温度は、水分が過剰であると共に、厨芥の分解に伴い発生する熱量も少ないので、厨芥の処理状態の良い含水率60%のときより低くなり、サーミスタ7は処理槽1を介して担体2により冷やされる。従って、面状ヒータ4のON/OFF制御は図8のようにON時間が長くなり、面状ヒータ4から処理槽1内担体2に供給される熱量を増やすので、担体2の水分を積極的に蒸発させて、担体2の含水率を下げることができる。
【0041】
逆に、担体2の含水率が40%の時には、乾燥気味であるので、担体2の温度は、含水率60%のときより高くなり、サーミスタ7は処理槽1を介して担体2により暖められる。従って、面状ヒータ4のON/OFF制御は図9のようにOFF時間が長くなり、面状ヒータ4から処理槽1内担体2に供給される熱量を減少させるので、担体2の水分の蒸発を抑制して、担体2の含水率を上げることができる。
【0042】
本実施の形態では、サーミスタ7は面状ヒータ4の外周のヒータ芯線6から27mm離して装着しているが、サーミスタ7とヒータ芯線6との間隔は、面状ヒータ4に対する取付位置、面状ヒータ4の容量、ファン19の風量、処理槽1の材質及び材厚等の条件により設定されるものであり、本実施の形態に限定されるものではない。また、面状ヒータ4は本実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、ヒータ芯線6のみを処理槽1外壁に配設した構成であってもよい。
【0043】
図10は他の実施の形態を示しており、サーミスタ7を面状ヒータ4の基材5上にではなく、空気流路に臨ませ且つヒータ芯線6から所定間隔離した、処理槽1外壁下部に装着した構成となっている。この構成であっても、上記実施の形態と同様な作用効果を奏する。
【0044】
【発明の効果】
本発明の請求項1の構成によれば、1つの温度検知部により、外気温度に関係なく処理槽内を微生物の活動に最適な温度に維持するので、常時安定した厨芥処理ができる等の効果を奏する。
【0045】
本発明の請求項2の構成によれば、1つの温度検知部により、外気温度に関係なく処理槽内を微生物の活動に最適な温度に維持するので、常時安定した厨芥処理ができる等の効果を奏する。
【0046】
本発明の請求項3の構成によれば、1つの温度検知部により、外気温度に関係なく処理槽内を微生物の活動に最適な温度に維持すると共に、担体の含水率を最適な状態に調整することができるので、常時安定した厨芥処理ができる等の効果を奏する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cocoon treatment apparatus for treating cocoons with microorganisms or the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
It is important to maintain an environment suitable for the activity of microorganisms in an organic substance processing apparatus that decomposes organic substances by microorganisms cultured on a carrier. Therefore, conventionally, an air supply unit that takes outside air into the processing tank and a heating unit that heats the inside of the processing tank are provided, and the air amount and moisture amount in the processing tank are appropriately maintained by the air supply unit and the heating unit. At the same time, the inside of the treatment tank is kept at the target temperature.
[0003]
As the heating means, a panel heater in which a heater core wire is embedded in a sheet-like base material is arranged on the outer wall of the processing tank, and a heating apparatus with a simple configuration that heats the inside of the processing tank by energizing the heater core wire is often used. As shown in FIG. 11, two thermistors, a thermistor 7 that is disposed on the heater core 6 and detects the temperature of the heater core 6 and an outside air temperature detection thermistor (not shown) that detects the outside air temperature, are used. It is set as the structure which controls the electricity supply to a heater core wire based on the output of two thermistors.
[0004]
If it is this structure, when the outside temperature detection thermistor detects below predetermined temperature, electricity supply to the heater core wire 6 will be turned ON. After the energization, as shown in FIG. 12, when the temperature of the heater core 6 rises and reaches T2, the thermistor B detects the temperature and turns off the energization to the heater core 6. Thereafter, when the temperature of the heater core wire 6 drops and reaches T1, the thermistor 7 detects the temperature and turns on the power to the heater core wire 6. If the outside air temperature does not exceed the predetermined temperature, the heater ON / OFF control as described above is repeated.
[0005]
However, since the thermistor 7 is disposed on the heater core wire 6 and the thermistor 7 detects only the temperature of the heater core wire 6, the ratio between the ON time and the OFF time of the heater ON / OFF control is related to the outside air temperature. The amount of heat supplied to the carrier in the treatment tank is constant.
[0006]
Therefore, in winter when the outside air temperature is low, the amount of heat supplied from the heater is insufficient due to the influence of the ambient temperature, and the temperature of the carrier in the treatment tank is lowered, so that the activity of microorganisms is lowered and the organic matter treatment efficiency is deteriorated. There is.
[0007]
In addition, in the spring and autumn when the outside air temperature is slightly lower than the predetermined temperature that is a reference for determining energization to the heater, the temperature of the carrier in the processing tank becomes too high due to the amount of heat supplied excessively from the heater. There are drawbacks in that the activity of microorganisms decreases, the organic matter processing efficiency deteriorates, and the electricity cost of the heater is wasted.
[0008]

Reference numeral 23 denotes a stirring body rotatably disposed in the processing tank 1. The stirring body 25 penetrates both side surfaces of the processing tank 1 and is rotatably supported by a bearing 24, and is fixed to the stirring shaft 25. It comprises a plurality of stirring blades 26.
[0024]
Reference numeral 27 denotes an upper case made of a synthetic resin covering the treatment tank 1. The lower case 10 and the upper case 27 constitute a main body case by screwing the lower portions of both sides and the lower portion of the rear surface to the lower case 10. Yes.
[0025]
Reference numeral 28 denotes a charging opening formed on the upper surface of the upper case 27, and an opening edge extends into the processing tank 1. A lid 29 is swingably supported on the upper surface of the upper case 27 and closes the closing opening 28 so as to be freely opened and closed.
[0026]
Thus, the lid 29 is opened, and the soot is poured into the treatment tank 1 from the loading opening 28, and the lid 29 is closed. Detection means (not shown) detects the closure of the lid 29, and the control circuit energizes the motor 21, the planar heater 4 and the fan 19 based on the output.
[0027]
The energization of the electric motor 21 and the planar heater 4 rotates the agitator 23 to mix the carrier 2 and the soot, and maintain the temperature in the treatment tank 1 within the optimum range for the activation of aerobic microorganisms and the like. The straw is decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by aerobic microorganisms cultured on the carrier 2 and composted.
[0028]
In addition, when the fan 19 is energized, the air in the treatment tank 1 is circulated through the circulation path to vaporize moisture generated by decomposition of the soot , and the water content of the carrier 2 is an optimum range for activating the aerobic microorganisms. And supplying oxygen necessary for the activation of aerobic microorganisms.
[0029]
A part of the air circulating in the processing tank 1 is exhausted from the rear part of the discharge tube 14 to the outside of the main body case through the exhaust path 15 and the exhaust port 16, and the air in the processing tank 1 becomes overhumid. In addition to improving the water removal efficiency in the treatment tank 1, the aerobic microorganisms are activated, and the soot treatment capacity is improved.
[0030]
As the air in the processing tank 1 is exhausted to the outside, outside air is taken into the main body case from the air inlet 11 formed in the lower case 10, and the suction port 9 formed on the side surface of the processing tank 1 and the upper part of the processing tank 1. Although supplied into the processing tank 1 from a plurality of notches 3 provided in the opening, the air taken into the main body case is heated by the planar heater 4 and mixed with the air circulating in the processing tank 1. Therefore, even when the outside air temperature is low, such as in winter, the temperature in the treatment tank 1 is not greatly reduced.
[0031]
Moreover, since the air supply to the processing tank 1 is performed from the suction port 9 and the plurality of notches 3, the air speed of the supplied air is reduced, and the air is dispersed from the entire circumference of the processing tank 1 to take in the air. As a result, the supplied air is concentrated in one place, and the drying of the surface of the carrier 2 caused by increasing the wind speed and contacting a part of the carrier 2 can be prevented.
[0032]
The relationship between the outside air temperature and the control of the planar heater 4 according to the configuration of the present invention is as shown in FIGS.
[0033]
Since the thermistor 7 is mounted facing the air flow path and separated from the heater core wire 6 by a predetermined distance, the temperature of the heater core wire 6 is detected only when the temperature near the heater core wire 6 rises.
[0034]
When the thermistor 7 detects a temperature equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature T1, the control unit turns on the energization to the heater core wire 6, and when the thermistor 7 detects the predetermined temperature T2 higher than the predetermined temperature T1, the control unit energizes the heater core wire 6. Set to OFF.
[0035]
When the outside air temperature is low, such as in winter, the temperature rise rate in the vicinity of the heater core 6 becomes slow due to the influence of the cold outside air passing through the air flow path, and it takes time for the thermistor 7 to detect the predetermined temperature T2. The ON time becomes longer. When the heater core 6 is turned off, the vicinity of the heater core 6 is cooled by the outside air, and the thermistor 7 detects the predetermined temperature T1 in a short time, so the OFF time is shortened (see FIG. 8).
[0036]
Accordingly, since the amount of heat supplied from the planar heater 4 to the carrier 2 in the treatment tank 1 is increased, the temperature of the carrier 2 in the treatment tank 1 is set to an optimum temperature for activating microorganisms without being affected by a decrease in ambient temperature. Can be maintained. Moreover, since the cold external air supplied in the processing tank 1 is heated extra by the planar heater 4 which increased the amount of heat, the temperature fall in the processing tank 1 can be suppressed.
[0037]
On the other hand, when the temperature is relatively warm such as in spring or autumn, the temperature rise rate near the heater core wire 6 is increased due to the influence of warm outside air passing through the air flow path, and the thermistor 7 detects the predetermined temperature T2 in a short time. ON time is shortened. When the power to the heater core 6 is turned off, the vicinity of the heater core 6 becomes difficult to be cooled by warm outside air, and the thermistor 7 takes time to detect the predetermined temperature T1, so the OFF time becomes long (see FIG. 9). ).
[0038]
Therefore, the amount of heat supplied from the planar heater 4 to the carrier 2 in the treatment tank 1 can be reduced, and the temperature of the carrier 2 in the treatment tank 1 can be maintained at an optimum temperature for activating microorganisms. Furthermore, since the OFF time of the planar heater 4 becomes long, the electricity bill can be saved.
[0039]
Further, since the thermistor 7 is mounted on the outer wall of the treatment tank 1, the planar heater 4 can be controlled by changing the moisture content of the carrier 2.
[0040]
That is, as shown in FIG. 7, when the moisture content of the carrier 2 is 80%, the water is excessive and the treatment state is deteriorated. At this time, the temperature of the carrier 2, along with moisture is excessive, since the amount of heat even less with generated degradation of kitchen waste, lower than when the good water content of 60% of the processing state of the garbage, the thermistor 7 is treating tank 1 It is cooled by the carrier 2 via Therefore, the ON / OFF control of the planar heater 4 increases the ON time as shown in FIG. 8 and increases the amount of heat supplied from the planar heater 4 to the carrier 2 in the treatment tank 1, so that the moisture of the carrier 2 is positively increased. The water content of the carrier 2 can be lowered by evaporating the water.
[0041]
Conversely, when the moisture content of the carrier 2 is 40%, it is dry, so the temperature of the carrier 2 is higher than when the moisture content is 60%, and the thermistor 7 is heated by the carrier 2 via the treatment tank 1. . Accordingly, the ON / OFF control of the planar heater 4 increases the OFF time as shown in FIG. 9 and reduces the amount of heat supplied from the planar heater 4 to the carrier 2 in the treatment tank 1. Can be suppressed, and the water content of the carrier 2 can be increased.
[0042]
In the present embodiment, the thermistor 7 is mounted 27 mm away from the heater core wire 6 on the outer periphery of the planar heater 4, but the distance between the thermistor 7 and the heater core wire 6 is the mounting position relative to the planar heater 4 and the planar shape. It is set according to conditions such as the capacity of the heater 4, the air volume of the fan 19, the material and thickness of the processing tank 1, and is not limited to this embodiment. Moreover, the planar heater 4 is not limited to this Embodiment, The structure which arrange | positioned only the heater core wire 6 to the processing tank 1 outer wall may be sufficient.
[0043]
FIG. 10 shows another embodiment, in which the thermistor 7 is not on the base 5 of the planar heater 4 but on the air flow path, and is separated from the heater core 6 by a predetermined distance, and the lower part of the outer wall of the processing tank 1. It has a configuration attached to. Even with this configuration, the same operational effects as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.
[0044]

[0045]
According to the configuration of the second aspect of the present invention, since the inside of the treatment tank is maintained at the optimum temperature for the activity of the microorganisms regardless of the outside air temperature by one temperature detection unit, an effect such as being able to perform stable soot treatment at all times, etc. Play.
[0046]
According to the configuration of claim 3 of the present invention, the temperature inside the treatment tank is maintained at an optimum temperature for the activity of microorganisms regardless of the outside air temperature by one temperature detection unit, and the moisture content of the carrier is adjusted to an optimum state. Therefore, there is an effect that a stable wrinkle treatment can be performed at all times.
