Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention is mainly used for cushioning the road surface, floor surface, etc. by laying it on the road surface of a racing horse training track, main horse track, stadium, etc., the floor surface of a stable, etc. The present invention relates to a buffering heat-retaining and water-retaining material used for use and heat retention.

Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention In order to raise and train racehorses, sand is usually removed from the training arena, and sometimes a mixture with wood chips is also removed. When horses are trained in these sand fields, the sand can fly up due to the horses kicking up and get into the horses' eyes due to strong winds, resulting in a high incidence of eye diseases. In addition, during extremely dry or rainy weather, the sand from the sandy horse track will scatter, and the soles of the horses' hooves will be directly exposed to the track surface (base).
Due to the contact with the ground, the impact is strong and the soles and lower legs of the hoof are often seriously injured (diseased). Furthermore, sand is washed away and blown away by rainy days and strong winds (seasonal winds), and replenishing sand requires a considerable amount of money and expense. In Utsudo Chippu, heavy rains wash away the materials, and in the summer it turns into rotting mud, causing many problems in terms of hygiene for horses. In addition, during the dry season, the material is light and the scattering rate is high. It is true that both of these conditions are unstable in terms of rainfall and dryness, which poses many problems in training the limbs and preventing diseases, which are the lifeblood of horses. Therefore, the development and research of alternative materials is progressing considerably in other countries as well. Additionally, bedding is usually spread on the floor of the stable for the horses to rest, but the bedding is contaminated with horse excrement and urine and is always moist, making it a breeding ground for pathogenic microorganisms and making it difficult to maintain horse hygiene. There are some drawbacks. Furthermore, since the bedding is dried outside using a baking tray, ammonia gas and other gases leak into the air, which can cause air pollution and other pollution. Furthermore, with the recent change in agricultural policy in Japan, combine harvesters and the like have been introduced for rice cultivation, resulting in a shortage of long straw and a considerable increase in horse management costs.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention utilizes sawn bamboo material with a diameter of approximately 0.3 mm.
This is a buffering, heat-retaining and water-retaining material characterized by the use of granular powder of 0.5 mm to 0.5 mm.

Function The present invention uses cut-down moso bamboo, madake, hachiku, shichiku, keichiku, machiku, etc., which are sawn using a multi-blade saw, disc saw, etc., and have a diameter of approximately 0.3 mm or more.
It is a 0.5mm granular powder (hereinafter referred to as bamboo powder), and its specific gravity is heavier than water (0.49).
(Does not run off in the rain) Does not easily rot, is completely non-toxic, has strong fiber bonds (high cushioning properties), is difficult to scatter, and has the property of preventing dust. This patented bamboo powder (Banoboo
Powder) to a thickness of approximately 10cm on the running surface of the training horse track.
When a racing horse walked on the bamboo powder, even when the horse kicked up the bamboo powder, it did not fly any further than the sand, and the bamboo powder got into the eyes of the horse following him. It turned out that there was no danger, it didn't get muddy even in the rain, and there was no runoff. It can be used not only for road surfaces at racehorse training centers, but also as a material for bunkers at horse racing fields, parks, school playgrounds, stadiums, baseball fields, horse racing fields, and golf courses. Furthermore, taking advantage of the unparalleled water retention properties (1.49%) of bamboo powder, the present invention can be used alone or mixed with fertilizer, or mixed with ceramics and spread on the bottom of planters and pots or in place of soil. It is effective when sealed in gauze or other mesh bags and used as a horticultural water retaining material and cushioning material. Furthermore, by using the buffer heat insulating material of the present invention in place of bedding on the stable floor, the high cushioning properties prevent the noise caused by the hooves and reduce the risk of injury to the horse.
In addition, because the dryness is high, it retains heat and water well, does not fly up as dust, and is not toxic even if the horse accidentally ingests it, so it does not harm the health of the horse. Suitable for health management,
In addition, if it is contaminated with horse manure, it can be dyed with water and dried and used repeatedly, making it hygienic.
Economical. In addition, a material obtained by mixing the buffering heat-retaining and water-retaining material of the present invention with appropriate amounts of sand, cement, and other materials and compacting the mixture can be used as a building material with high drainage performance. In addition, due to its high corrosion resistance and heat/water retention properties, it can be used as mud material for steam baths, mud therapy materials, and deodorizing materials. , and a small amount of soil solidification material mixed with water and molded.
It is possible to provide civil engineering materials with strong drainage (water absorption) and permeability.

Example (1) Logged mosochiku, madake, hachiku,
Bamboo material such as black bamboo is sawed using a multi-blade saw, disc saw, etc. to obtain bamboo powder containing granular powder with a diameter of about 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. Spread this bamboo powder on the track at the horse training center to a thickness of about 10 cm. bamboo
Powder has a dense fibrous structure and a high specific gravity, so it stays dry even in heavy rain and does not leak out at all. Furthermore, it will not jump up due to horse kicks or wind pressure. The thickness of bamboo powder is not necessarily limited to 10 cm, and paving can be made to a thickness greater or less than 10 cm.

(2) The bamboo powder is mixed with an appropriate amount of soil solidifying material and sand, and the mixture is rolled and spread to be used for paving playgrounds, horse fields, and roads (sidewalks) with high drainage and water absorption.

(3) Spread the bamboo powder in a planter or pot, mix in an appropriate amount of water-based fertilizer, and grow seeds or plants.

(4) Mix an appropriate amount of the bamboo powder with an appropriate amount of fertilizer and form it into a plate shape to use as a mat for the bottom of a planter.

(5) Spread the bamboo powder on the upper surface of the stable floor to a thickness of approximately 10 cm or more, and rest the horse on it.

(6) The bamboo powder, sand, cement, and other fertilizers in appropriate amounts are mixed with water and solidified to form a material for civil engineering and construction.

(7) A stone with a diameter of 0.3 mm or more is obtained by placing a stone in the lower layer, using gravel and cinder in the middle layer, and laying sand on the surface layer, and sawing bamboo material on the surface of the track to maintain hydrophobic properties. Laying 0.5 mm granular powder.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention is made of a granular material containing granular powder with a diameter of about 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm obtained by sawing bamboo material.
