Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a pine skin wood chip for decoration / appreciation, which is used as a filling for a flower pot or the like used for decoration / appreciation in a living space.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The technique of placing trees and flowers for appreciation has been used since ancient times as a way to create a soft and peaceful atmosphere in a living space. Due to the development of science and technology, recently, artificial trees and flowers that look just like natural trees and flowers have been devised and used to improve the atmosphere of living spaces. In the present invention, when artificial trees, flowers, etc. are mainly set in the living space, it is often the case that natural trees, flowers, etc. are assumed and displayed in a set with a flowerpot that is in harmony with the artificial trees, flowers. Unlike natural trees and flowers, artificial trees and flowers do not require the supply of water, nutrients, etc., so it is not necessary to put soil in the flowerpot, but in general, the same effect as natural trees and flowers is produced. Since it was required, it was necessary to put a filler that looked like soil in flowerpots. The shape and color of wood chips, especially wood chips containing pine skin, are preferable as the filling material for the flower pots, and are widely used as the filling material for the flower pots.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the purpose of installing artificial trees and flowers is to create a soft and peaceful atmosphere in the living space, the artificial trees and flowers can efficiently remove the bad odor generated in the living space and emit a pleasant scent. By doing so, the purpose of installing artificial trees and flowers was fulfilled. For this purpose, for example, activated carbon and ceramics, which have been widely used as deodorants in the past, mainly exhibit the deodorizing function due to the adsorption phenomenon, and in the presence of aromatic components, they also adsorb aromatic components in addition to the malodor. The ability of deodorizing and deodorizing functions was reduced, which was not preferable. In addition, in order to carry out deodorization, deodorization, and fragrance of a normal living space, some special device such as a deodorization / deodorization device and an aroma diffuser (Actual Kaihei 4-108587, Actual Kaihei 4-117642, etc.) Needed.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention provides an aromatic deodorant component and a deodorant component that selectively removes only the malodor generated in the living space without affecting the aroma component to wood chips that are widely used as a filling material for flower pots. As a result, it is a deodorant wood chip that can be used easily without the need for special equipment. In particular, as a deodorant component, an enzyme that exerts a deodorizing ability by the selective decomposition function of a malodorous component and a biomimetic compound having a function similar to the enzyme, or a deodorant function by a selective chemical reaction with the malodorous component. Since a chemical substance having the property of using wood chips is used, wood chips capable of selectively deodorizing malodorous components can be obtained.

The deodorant components used in the present invention are as follows. (1) Examples of the enzyme include those comprising proteins containing iron porphyrin, cytochrome 450-based enzymes and the like. (2) Examples of biomimetic compounds include compounds such as hematoporphyrin, heme iron, metal phthalocyanine derivatives, and metal chlorophyll. (3) As a chemical substance exhibiting a deodorizing function by selective reaction with a malodorous component, a metal complex compound of a fatty acid and a metal such as copper, iron, zinc, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, an amino acid such as glutamic acid and copper Metal complex compounds of amino acids with metals such as iron, zinc, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, polymer compounds having carboxyl group / carbonyl group / hydroxyl group / sulfonyl group, amino group, etc. and copper, iron, zinc, manganese Examples thereof include polymer complexes made of metals such as cobalt, molybdenum and molybdenum. Then, by supporting the wood chip with an aromatic component that does not react with the above-mentioned deodorant material that is in harmony with trees and flowers, it is possible to provide a wood chip that deodorizes an offensive odor component that causes discomfort and emits a pleasant scent.

The method of supporting the above deodorant or fragrance on the wood chips is as follows. If the deodorant is a liquid, a diluted solution or dispersion of the deodorant is supported on the wood chips by a spray method or an impregnation method. When the deodorant is an individual, the solution, dispersion or mixed solution of the deodorant may be supported on the wood chips by a spray method, an impregnation method or a coprecipitation method. Further, in order to improve the appearance of the wood chip, the durability, the drug carrying ability, etc., the surface of the wood chip may be pretreated with a polymer coating or the like, and then a deodorant may be carried thereon. For the aroma component, the method of loading the deodorant on the wood chip by spraying, impregnation, etc., the method of simultaneously loading the aroma agent and the deodorant on the wood chip, and the aroma component-loaded wood chip There is a method of loading the deodorant component, but any method may be loaded depending on the characteristics of the deodorant / fragrance and the purpose of use.

Examples of the shape of the wood chip include a pine skin or a pine skin shape that looks good in harmony with a flowerpot or the like as a furniture. This shape facilitates carrying deodorants and fragrances and has a large surface area, so it has high deodorant and fragrance performance.

An example of the use of the wood chip of the present invention is to fill a flower pot 3 such as an artificial tree / flower 2 with a wood chip 1 to improve the appearance of the flower pot, to emit a scent that is in harmony with the flower pot, and to have a bad smell that floats in the space. How to use to remove components (Fig. 1a), put wood chips 1 on the surface of the soil of flower pots 3 such as trees for decoration and appreciation 4 to disperse the scent that is in harmony with the flower pots and remove the malodorous components floating in the space. How to use (Fig. 1b), improve the appearance of the flower bed by placing the wood chip 1 on the ground surface of the flower bed 6 set indoors, diffuse the scent that is in harmony with the flower bed, and remove the malodorous components floating in the space. How to use (Fig. 1c), and place a wood chip on the ground surface of the garden-like display space where artificial trees / flowers or trees / flowers set in the room are displayed to enhance the appearance of the display. For example, it can be used to diffuse aroma that is in harmony with the display and remove the malodorous components floating in the space.
