Description

The present invention relates to a package.

Nanobubbles are nano-sized (for example, particles having a particle size of 1000 nm or less) microbubbles existing in a solvent such as water, and have properties significantly different from ordinary bubbles. For example, nanobubbles are expected to have excellent effects on the human body, such as a growth promoting effect, an antioxidant effect, and a bactericidal effect.

Then, it is also considered to contain nanobubbles in various solvents by utilizing the above-mentioned properties of nanobubbles. For example, by incorporating nanobubbles in a solvent that forms cosmetic liquids, detergents, drugs, beverages, etc., nanobubbles can be taken into the human body.

On the other hand, since nanobubbles exist as microbubbles in the solvent, the amount dissolved in the solvent may decrease with the passage of time. For this reason, for example, even when the purpose is to take up nanobubbles in the body, there arises a problem that it is difficult to take in the nanobubbles efficiently because the dissolution period of the nanobubbles in the solvent is short and the amount of dissolved bubbles decreases. ..

Here, Patent Document 1 discloses a packaging bag for stably holding a liquid containing a certain component. This packaging bag has an aluminum layer, and is configured to ensure light-shielding property, moisture-blocking property, and gas barrier property so that a liquid containing a certain component can be stored for a long period of time.

However, even in the case of the packaging bag as described above, the number of nanobubbles can be reduced if the nanobubbles are still contained in the solvent. That is, it is difficult to stably maintain the mixed state of the mixture of liquid and gas. Therefore, there arises a problem that it is difficult to obtain a solvent having a large amount of dissolved nanobubbles as needed.

Further, when a mixture of a plurality of substances is contained in the above-mentioned packaging bag, not limited to nanobubbles, it may be difficult to stably maintain the mixed state of the mixture. Therefore, there arises a problem that it is difficult to obtain a mixture that maintains a mixed state as needed.

<Embodiment 1>
The first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a package, and FIGS. 2 to 4 are diagrams showing a state when the package is used.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of the package 1 in the present embodiment. The upper figure of FIG. 1 is a plan view of the package 1, and the lower figure of FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the package 1 shown in the upper figure of FIG. 1 at a position where a communication passage 21 is formed.

The package 1 in the present embodiment is configured by laminating two sheets and partially laminating them together. The sheet body may be made of any material such as polyethylene or aluminum.

Specifically, the package 1 has three accommodating area portions 11, 12, 13 and two communication passages 21 and 22 having an outer shape shown by a dotted line in the upper figure of FIG. 1 between two sheet bodies. The other parts are laminated so as to form the space that constitutes the above. That is, as shown in the cross-sectional view of the lower figure of FIG. 1, the package 1 has two laminated sheet bodies having three accommodating area portions 11, 12, 13 and two communication passages 21, 22. Only the constituent parts are not bonded, and the other parts are bonded. The portion where the two sheets are bonded to each other is, for example, thermocompression-bonded by a thermocompression-bonding sealer, but may be bonded by any method.

At this time, the two communication passages 21 and 22 are the first accommodations 11 and 12 which are two accommodation areas 11 and 12 adjacent to each other among the three accommodation areas 11, 12 and 13 formed in the package 1. It is formed between the region portion 11 and the second accommodating region portion 12. The third storage region portion 13, which is another storage region portion 13, is formed adjacent to the second storage region portion 12 with a separation portion 31 (shown by shading) in between.

The separation portion 31 is formed by laminating two sheets, whereby the internal space of the second accommodation region portion 12 and the internal space of the third accommodation region portion 13 are separated from each other. ing. That is, when the separating portion 31 is in a separated state in which two sheets are bonded together, the internal spaces of the second accommodating region portion 12 and the third accommodating region portion 13 do not communicate with each other, and the inside thereof is not communicated with each other. The substances in the space are not mixed with each other.

The separation portion 31 is formed by laminating two sheets, but the laminating strength, that is, the adhesive strength between the two sheets is formed to be lower than that of other portions. .. Specifically, the bonding strength of the separating portion 31 is higher than the bonding strength around each of the accommodating area portions 11, 12, 13 and the communication passages 21 and 22 where the two sheets are bonded. Is formed low. The bonding strength of the two sheets can be adjusted by, for example, setting a low degree of thermocompression bonding or reducing the number of thermocompression bonding points, but the bonding strength may be adjusted by any method. ..

Here, the liquid and the gas are accommodated in the internal spaces of the first accommodating region 11 and the second accommodating region 12. For example, the liquid is a cosmetic liquid and the gas is hydrogen gas. Here, the liquid and the gas may be initially stored separately, such as a cosmetic liquid in the internal space of the first storage region 11 and hydrogen gas in the internal space of the second storage region 12. Alternatively, the liquid and the gas may be contained in the respective accommodation areas 11 and 12 in a mixed state. Although liquids and gases are taken as examples of substances accommodated in the internal spaces of the respective accommodation areas 11 and 12, different types of liquids or gases may be used, such as sol, gel, and further. , It may be a solid such as powder. As will be described later, these substances are substances having fluidity that can be circulated through the communication passages 21 and 22.

The two communication passages 21 and 22 are passages that communicate with each other between the internal space of the first accommodation area 11 and the internal space of the second accommodation area 12. Therefore, in the communication passages 21 and 22, a plurality of substances contained in the accommodation areas 11 and 12 can be distributed so as to move back and forth between the accommodation areas 11 and 12. However, the communication passages 21 and 22 are configured to define the distribution direction of the substance. For example, the continuous passage 22 is configured so that the width of the passage narrows from the internal space of the first accommodation region 11 toward the internal space of the second accommodation region 12. Therefore, the communication passage 22 functions as a valve, and the substance is configured to flow from the first accommodation region 11 to the second accommodation region 12. On the other hand, the continuous passage 21 is configured so that the width of the passage narrows from the internal space of the second accommodating area portion 12 toward the internal space of the first accommodating area portion 11. Therefore, the communication passage 21 functions as a valve, and the substance is configured to flow from the second accommodating region portion 12 to the first accommodating region portion 11. However, the distribution direction of the communication passages 21 and 22 does not necessarily have to be specified.

Here, since the internal space between the first accommodating area portion 11 and the second accommodating area portion 12 described above is a space formed between the two flexible sheet bodies, it is subject to external pressure. Accordingly, the interior space itself is configured to shrink or expand. For example, as shown by the arrow in the lower figure of FIG. 2, when the first accommodation region portion 11 is pushed from the outside and pressure is applied, the internal space of the first accommodation region portion 11 is reduced. Then, as shown by the arrow in the upper figure of FIG. 2, the substance in the first accommodating area 11 flows through the communication passage 22 and flows into the second accommodating area 12, and accordingly, the second accommodation area portion 12. (Ii) The internal space of the accommodation area portion 12 is expanded. After that, as shown by the arrow in the lower figure of FIG. 3, when the second accommodating area portion 12 is pushed from the outside and pressure is applied, the internal space of the second accommodating region portion 12 is reduced. Then, as shown by the arrow in the upper figure of FIG. 3, the substance contained in the second accommodating area 12 flows into the first accommodating area 11 via the communication passage 21, and the second accommodating area is correspondingly. (1) The internal space of the accommodation area portion 11 is expanded.

At this time, each of the above-mentioned communication passages 21 and 22 is configured to make the gas in the liquid into fine bubbles when the substance flows. For example, in the communication passages 21 and 22, the width of the passage is formed to be extremely small at the inflow point to the accommodating area on the downstream side, so that when a substance in which a liquid and a gas are mixed flows, the gas in the liquid is formed. It will be made into fine bubbles.

The communication passages 21 and 22 are not limited to the above-described configuration. For example, a convex portion may be provided on the inner wall surface of the communication passage 21. When a substance in which a liquid and a gas are mixed flows through the communication passage 21 provided with the convex portion in this way, the gas in the liquid is made into microbubbles. Here, it is desirable that the generated microbubbles have a nano size of, for example, a particle size of 1000 nm or less. The communication passage 22 also has a similar configuration.

Further, for example, the communication passage 21 may be filled with a porous body. At this time, the porous body is made of, for example, a cotton-like fiber material, and a large number of pores are formed. When a substance in which a liquid and a gas are mixed passes through these a large number of holes, the gas in the liquid becomes microbubbles. The size of the hole is preferably, for example, a diameter of 1 mm or less. Further, a large number of holes may be formed by gaps between a plurality of polygonal objects, for example, a honeycomb structure in which a plurality of polygonal objects are spread in the communication passage 22 as described later. good. By doing so, further miniaturization of the bubble size can be performed efficiently.

In the above configuration, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the inside of the first accommodation area 11 is formed by alternately repeating external pressing against the first accommodation area 11 and the second accommodation area 12. The space and the internal space of the second accommodating area 12 are alternately reduced / expanded. Then, the mixture of liquid and gas contained in the internal space of the first accommodation area 11 and the internal space of the second accommodation area 12 repeats circulation in each of the communication passages 21 and 22, and the communication passage 21 In the mixture of the liquid and the gas that has flowed through the liquid and 22, the gas is atomized in the liquid. As a result, a liquid containing microbubbles immediately after generation can be obtained, and a liquid having a large amount of dissolved microbubbles can be obtained.

Then, as described above, for example, by mixing a cosmetic liquid and hydrogen, it is possible to obtain a cosmetic product in which a large amount of dissolved hydrogen bubbles can be obtained. In the package of the present invention, any substance may be used for mixing. For example, it may be used to mix a liquid such as a cleaning agent, a drug, or a beverage with a gas such as oxygen or hydrogen. As a result, it is possible to obtain a mixture immediately after the generation of nanobubbles of oxygen and hydrogen, and by using such a mixture, organisms such as the human body, such as the growth promoting effect, antioxidant effect, and bactericidal effect of nanobubbles. It can be expected to have an excellent effect on. The substances to be mixed may be liquids or gases. This makes it possible to obtain an effective mixture immediately after production.

If it is desirable that different substances are contained in the above-mentioned two accommodating areas 11 and 12 without being mixed before mixing, the substances are separately contained in the respective accommodating areas 11 and 12. In the state of accommodating the above, the passages 21 and 22 may be closed by sandwiching them with clips or the like. Then, when it is necessary to mix the substances, the state in which the communication passages 21 and 22 are sandwiched may be released and the substances may be mixed as described above. The method of closing the continuous passages 21 and 22 may be performed by any method.

Here, the experimental results in which fine bubbles are generated in the liquid using the above-mentioned package 1 are shown. In the experiment, the size and number of microbubbles generated in the liquid were investigated by video analysis. As a result, it was observed that 2 to 1.4 billion nanobubbles, which are bubbles of ^{1 to 1000 nm, were generated per 1 cm 3 of the liquid.} When a general bubble generator is used, ^{only about 3000 to 50 million fine bubbles are generated per 1 cm 3} of the liquid, whereas in the package 1 of the present invention, the liquid having a larger amount of dissolved nanobubbles is generated. Can be generated.

Further, in the package 1, when the first accommodating region 11 and the second accommodating region 12 are pressed to generate fine bubbles as described above, the third accommodating region 13 is the third accommodating region 13 due to the separating portion 31. (Ii) The state of being separated from the accommodation area portion 12 is maintained. That is, even if the first accommodating region 11 and the second accommodating region 12 are pressed from the outside to generate fine bubbles as described above, the two sheets have appropriate strength at the separation portions 31. Since they are pasted together with each other, the separated portion 31 does not collapse. In addition, a substance such as a liquid or a gas is contained in the internal space of the third accommodation area portion 13, and is a substance that can be mixed with the liquid containing the fine bubbles generated as described above.

Here, the internal space of the third accommodating area 13 described above is a space formed between two sheets having the same flexibility as the first accommodating area 11 and the second accommodating area 12. Therefore, the internal space itself is configured to shrink or expand in response to external pressure. Then, in the package 1 of the present invention, as shown by the arrow in the lower figure of FIG. 4, when all the accommodating area portions 11, 12, and 13 are pressed from the outside and pressure is applied, all the accommodating area portions 11, Since the internal space of 12 and 13 is reduced, a force is generated to push the substance in each of the accommodating areas 11, 12 and 13 to the outside. At this time, the periphery of each of the accommodation area portions 11, 12, and 13 does not collapse because the two sheets are bonded together with high strength, but the second accommodation area portion 12 and the third accommodation region portion 12 and the third accommodation region portion. The separation portion 31 between the 13 and the separation portion 31 collapses due to the low bonding strength. That is, the bonding of the two sheets at the separation portion 31 is peeled off (see the location of reference numeral 31 in FIG. 4), and the internal space of the second accommodation region portion 12 and the internal space of the third accommodation region portion 13 are separated. It will be in a state of communication. As a result, as shown by the arrow in the upper figure of FIG. 4, the liquid containing nanobubbles in the second accommodating region 12 and the substance in the third accommodating region 13 flow into the internal space of the opposite region. , These will be mixed.

As described above, according to the package 1 of the present invention, first, the first accommodation region 11 and the second accommodation region 12 in a state where the third accommodation region 13 is separated by the separation portion 31 are pressed to make a minute amount. It is possible to generate a liquid containing bubbles. After that, by communicating the first accommodating area 11 and / or the second accommodating area 12 and the third accommodating area 13 with each other, the substance contained in the third accommodating area 13 becomes minute. A liquid containing bubbles can be mixed. As a result, it is possible to obtain a mixture having a high content of the fine bubbles immediately after the generation of the fine bubbles.

In the above, when the separation portion 31 is disintegrated and the first accommodation region portion 11 and / or the second accommodation region portion 12 and the third accommodation region portion 13 are communicated with each other, all the accommodation region portions are used. The case where 11, 12, and 13 are pressed from the outside is illustrated, but the method is not limited to the above-mentioned method. For example, by pressing only the third accommodating area portion 13 or simultaneously pressing the first accommodating area portion 11 and the second accommodating area portion 12, the third accommodating region portion 13 or the third accommodating region portion 13 adjacent to the separation portion 31 is pressed. (Ii) The substance in the accommodation region portion 12 may be pushed out to the outside to cause the separation portion 31 to collapse to form a communication state. As described above, in the package 1 of the present invention, the force for pushing the substance in the third storage region 13 or the second storage region 12 adjacent to the separation portion 31 to the outside is strengthened, and the separation portion 31 collapses. When the external pressing state against each of the accommodation area portions 11, 12, and 13 is set to a preset state, the separating portion 31 is in a communicating state.

Further, in the above, the case where the separation portion 31 is formed by laminating two sheets is exemplified, but the third accommodation region portion 13 is the first accommodation region portion 11 and the second accommodation region portion 12. Any structure may be used as long as at least one of the above and the internal space is in a state of communication from a separated state. For example, the separated portion 31 may be configured by sandwiching the separated portion portion with a holding member such as a clip because the two sheet bodies are not bonded to each other at the separated portion portion. Even in this case, first, a liquid containing fine bubbles is generated in the first accommodating region 11 and the second accommodating region 12 in a state where the third accommodating region portion 13 is separated by the sandwiching member. After that, by removing the sandwiching member, the third accommodating area portion 13 and the first accommodating area portion 11 and / or the second accommodating area portion 12 are in a communicative state and are accommodated in the third accommodating area portion 13. A liquid containing fine bubbles can be mixed with the substance.

Next, a modification of the package 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 10. First, in the package 1 in the modified example shown in FIG. 5, the third storage region portion 13 is arranged adjacent to the first storage region portion 11 and the second storage region portion 12 with the separation portion 31 in between. Has been done. Even with such a configuration, first, a liquid containing fine bubbles is generated in the first accommodating region 11 and the second accommodating region 12 in a state where the third accommodating region portion 13 is separated by the separating portion 31. After that, the first accommodating area portion 11, the second accommodating area portion 12, and the third accommodating area portion 13 are communicated with each other as described above to form a substance contained in the third accommodating area portion 13. , A liquid containing fine bubbles can be mixed.

In the above, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the third accommodation area 13 is the second accommodation area 12, or the third accommodation area 13 is the first accommodation area 11 and the second accommodation area. Although the configuration in which the third accommodating region portion 13 communicates with the portion 12 after the generation of microbubbles is illustrated, the configuration may be such that the third accommodating region portion 13 communicates with only the first accommodating region portion 13 after the generation of microbubbles. Further, as will be described later, the package 1 of the present invention may be provided with three or more accommodating region portions for generating microbubbles, and at least one of these and the third accommodating region portion 13 are microbubbles. It may be configured to communicate after generation. Further, two or more accommodating region portions corresponding to the third accommodating region portion 13 in which the substance mixed with the liquid containing microbubbles is accommodating may be provided, and each accommodating region portion generates microbubbles. It may be configured to communicate with the accommodating region portion for allowing the bubbles to be generated.

Next, a modified example of the configuration for generating nanobubbles corresponding to the first accommodation region portion 11 and the second accommodation region portion 12 described above will be described. In the following, the illustration of the third accommodation area portion 13 and the separation unit 31 will be omitted, but as described above, the third accommodation area portion 13 and the separation unit 31 are the first accommodation area portion 11 and / or the second. It will be arranged adjacent to the accommodating area for generating microbubbles such as the accommodating area 12 and / or another accommodating area. However, the package 1 of the present invention does not necessarily have to include the third accommodating area portion 13 and the separation portion 31 described above.

The package 1 in the example of FIG. 6 is provided with only one communication passage 25 between the pair of accommodating areas 11 and 12. The communication passage 25 is formed of extremely small gaps, and by allowing a substance to flow through the communication passage 25, the substance can be mixed or gas microbubbles can be generated in the liquid.
