Description

The present invention relates to a method for drying a plant for drying a plant such as a flower used for a flower decoration using a pressed flower or a dried flower.

Conventionally, when making a flower decoration using pressed flowers and dried flowers, plants such as flowers are pressed with a drying sheet coated with a desiccant and dried.

For this reason, the flower to be dried is in a pressed flower state and cannot be dried into a semi-three-dimensional shape, and it takes time to dry.
JP-A-8-259401

In view of the conventional drawbacks as described above, the present invention can be freely selected from a pressed flower state to a semi-three-dimensional shape, and even if there are irregularities on plants such as flowers by a simple operation, it is uniformly pressed and dried in a short time. It aims to provide a method for drying plants that can be used.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become more fully apparent when the following description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
However, the drawings are for explanation only and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a plant storing step for storing a plant to be dried in an overlapping container, which can be used in a microwave oven that can be stored in an overlapping state, using a soft mesh material on the bottom surface. After storing the granular desiccant in a container used in a microwave oven, the plant storage step is performed, the overlapping container is stored inside, and the granular desiccant is stored in the overlapping container. A soft mesh material is used to store and superimpose the overlapping containers, and the superposition process, and the product that has undergone this superposition process is left as it is or using a dryer to turn the plant moisture into a granular desiccant. The drying process of adsorbing and drying constitutes a plant drying method.

The present invention relates to a plant storing step for storing a plant to be dried in an overlapping container, and a container used in a microwave oven, which can be used in a microwave oven that can be stored in a superposed state, using a soft mesh material on the bottom surface. While storing the overlapping container which passed through the said plant storage process inside, storing the granular desiccant in this overlapping container, and storing the overlapping container in which the soft mesh material was used for the bottom , superimposed accommodating the particulate desiccant in the container, and superimposed steps, those through the superposition step, using as left or dryer, drying to adsorb moisture plant granulated desiccant The drying process to make up the plant drying method.

  As is clear from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) A plant storage process for storing plants to be dried in a stacking container that can be used in a superposed state using a soft mesh material on the bottom, and a container used in a microwave oven After storing the granular desiccant in the inside, the above-mentioned plant storage step was performed, and the overlapping container was stored inside, and the granular desiccant was stored in the overlapping container, and a soft mesh material was used on the bottom surface. , superimposed houses the superposition container, and superimposed steps, those through the superposition step, as with the left or dryer, and a drying step of drying by adsorption of moisture of the plant in granular desiccant Therefore, the far-infrared rays emitted from the desiccant and the generated steam can be adsorbed by the microwave oven to efficiently dry plants such as flowers.
Therefore, operation is easy and it can dry in a short time.

(2) By using the superposition container using the soft mesh material on the bottom, storing the granular desiccant such as silica gel in the superposition container in which the plants to be dried are put according to (1). Therefore, the load applied to plants such as flowers varies depending on the amount of the granular desiccant stored in the overlapping container, and the plants can be dried from the pressed flowers into a semi-three-dimensional shape.

(3) According to the above (1), plants such as flowers are sandwiched between soft mesh materials, so that even if there are irregularities of plants such as flowers, the plants can be pressed evenly and efficiently in a semi-solid shape. Can be dried.

(4) According to the above (1), since it is a simple method that can be performed by anyone without using special equipment or medicine, it can be easily implemented.

(5) In the second and third aspects, the same effects as in the above (1) to (4) can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the best mode for carrying out the invention shown in the drawings.

  In the best mode for carrying out the present invention shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, reference numeral 1 denotes a plant drying method for drying plants such as flowers of the present invention. Plant storage step 5 for storing plants 4 such as plants and flowers to be dried in an overlapping container 3, which can be stored in a superposed state, and can be used in a microwave oven, using a bottom member 2 of a mesh material, and a microwave oven In the container 6 used in the above, the powdered or granular form of silica gel or the like, in this embodiment, the granular desiccant 7 is accommodated, and then the overlapping container 3 that has undergone the plant storing step 5 is placed on the granular desiccant 7. In addition to storing the overlapping container 3, the overlapping container 3 having the same configuration as that of the overlapping container 3, in which the granular desiccant 7 is loaded in such an amount that a load necessary for the plant 4 such as a flower is added. This is the superposition process 8 and this It those through the combined process 8 by using the microwave oven 9, and a drying step 10 for drying by adsorption of steam exiting from the plant while out far-infrared rays by heating the granular desiccant.

  The superposition container 3 used in the plant storage process 5 and the superposition process 8 is a rectangular cylindrical container body 11 made of a heat-resistant synthetic resin material that can be used in a microwave oven, the upper part of which is expanded from the bottom. The bottom surface member 2 is made of a mesh made of a soft heat-resistant synthetic resin material that is welded or fitted and fixed to the bottom surface of the container body 11.

  The container 6 used in the microwave oven used in the superposition process 8 is made of a heat-resistant synthetic resin material such as a tapper in which the bottom surface of the superposition container 3 is housed.

When a plant such as a flower is dried by the method as described above, a load applied to the plant 4 such as a flower to be dried according to the amount of the granular desiccant 7 stored in the upper overlapping container 3 at the time of the overlapping process 8. Therefore, the amount of the granular desiccant 7 to be used is adjusted to dry the pressed flower shape into a semi-three-dimensional shape.
Further, since the bottom members 2 and 2 of the overlapping containers 3 and 3 are formed of a soft mesh material, even if the plant 4 such as the flower to be dried has irregularities, the bottom members 2 and 2 along the irregularities. Is positioned and a uniform pressing force is applied, and the film can be dried uniformly.
In addition, as a desiccant, you may use the ceramic particle | grains with which the generation | occurrence | production of far infrared rays other than a silica gel, and the ceramic particle | grains were mixed with a silica gel.
