Description

The present invention relates to a cartridge cleaning agent.

In recent years, from the viewpoint of labor shortage, hygiene management, etc., automatic dishwashers have been used in hotels, restaurants and the like. Conventionally, a detergent composition used in such an automatic dishwashing machine contains various components in order to exert various functions such as cleaning, bleaching and sterilization.

Among the components that can be incorporated in such a detergent composition, there are combinations of incompatible components that should not be mixed. When components having poor compatibility are mixed during the production of the detergent composition, decomposition may occur due to the reaction, the intended function of each component may not be exhibited, and the performance of the detergent composition may be deteriorated. There is.

Among the components contained in the detergent composition, a chlorine-based bleaching agent is known as a component that easily decomposes when contacted with other components.
In order to prevent decomposition of the chlorine-based bleaching agent, for example, in Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 9, a circular plug 42 containing a chlorine-based bleaching agent is provided in the center of a mold 44 into which the cleaning component 41 is injected. There is disclosed a cleaning agent 40 disposed over the depth direction of the. Since the circular plug 42 containing the chlorine bleach is encapsulated by a natural wax, a synthetic wax, a phosphoric acid ester or the like that does not react with the cleaning component or the chlorine bleach, the decomposition of the chlorine bleach can be suppressed. it can.

Further, in Patent Document 2, as shown in FIG. 10, a cleaning agent 50 in which an encapsulated chlorine-based bleaching agent 52 is uniformly dispersed in a cleaning component 51 injected into a mold 54 is disclosed. The encapsulated chlorine-based bleaching agent 52 can suppress decomposition of the chlorine-based bleaching agent because the chlorine-based bleaching agent is coated with an inert coating material that does not easily react with the chlorine-based bleaching agent.

As described above, when a storage method is adopted in which components that should not be mixed and are not compatible with each other are brought into contact with each other during production, the components are decomposed.
On the other hand, in the cleaning agents described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the chlorine-based bleaching agent is encapsulated, it is unlikely that the problem that a part of the chlorine-based bleaching agent or a part of other components is decomposed occurs. Has been done.

Then, in the cleaning agents described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when the cleaning component and the exposed surface of the plug or the capsule are sprayed with water during cleaning, the cleaning component and the chlorine bleach dissolve, so that the chlorine-based cleaning agent is washed during cleaning. Bleach can be provided in the automatic dishwasher. However, in Patent Document 2, since a chemical substance having a melting point of about 60 ° C. is used for the encapsulation of the chlorine bleach, when the temperature of the jet water is lower than usual, the encapsulation of the chlorine bleach is It has a problem that it is difficult to melt.

Further, in the cleaning agents described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since it is necessary to encapsulate the chlorine-based bleaching agent and embed it in the cleaning component or insert the cleaning agent into the cleaning component, it is necessary to manufacture the cleaning agent. There is a problem that becomes complicated. Furthermore, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost becomes high due to the complicated manufacturing process.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and both components that should not be mixed and stored can be stored as contents while preventing decomposition, and the temperature of the jet water can be stored. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cartridge cleaning agent that can supply an appropriate amount of components (chlorine bleaching agent, etc.) into an automatic dishwasher during cleaning even if it has a low level, and can be manufactured simply, safely and inexpensively. And
