However, according to this transportation method, depending on the type of cut flowers, when the distance to the destination is short and it takes 2 to 3 hours, or when the required transportation time is 6 to 24 hours or more. However, it was difficult to maintain the freshness of cut flowers because the supplemental water required for cut flowers was insufficient.

Therefore, various proposals have been made to keep the freshness of cut flowers even better. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-12
No. 6018 discloses that "a synthetic resin sheet having a waterproof property on the outer surface and a non-woven fabric layer on the inner surface are wrapped in a package, and a small water supply pool is formed inside by the water supply from the outside. In the zone including the binding portion, the water-absorbing polymer is absorbed in the jelly-like substance to fill the gaps between the package and the petal bundles and between the petals to form a water leakage buffer, and finally A method of partially packaging the number of petals in which the portion corresponding to the rough binding portion is tightly bound from the outside of the packaging bag with a binding means such as a string or gum tape. "

However, according to the first proposal, after the water supply to the water supply pool, the rough binding of cut flowers, and the water supply, after filling the jelly-like product to which the water-absorbent polymer has been water-filled in the opening gap portion of the package, the package is further packaged. There are many steps such as binding from the outside of the bag, and the packing work is not labor-saving, and it is difficult to guarantee the leakage of water from the water absorption pool.

[0006] Next, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 4-360624 discloses that "a water retaining bag is filled with water, the cut or root of the plant is immersed in water, and the opening of the water retaining bag is bound to hold a bundle of plants. In the freshness maintaining method of the plant, the water-swelling resin body is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the water retaining bag, and at the place where the plant bundle is bound, between the stem and the leaf of the plant. A method for maintaining freshness of a plant, which comprises injecting a viscous paste-like water-swelling resin into the.

However, also in this second proposal, a water-swellable resin is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the water retention bag, and a viscous resin is attached between the stems and leaves of the plant at the binding point. Since the paste resin is injected, when taking out the cut flowers after receiving,
In addition to the drawbacks of the first proposal, the paste-like resin between the stem and leaves still has to be removed, and the stem and leaves of the plant may be damaged during the removal work. Lack of workability.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a soft porous medium which does not cause environmental problems and a method for improving the freshness and quality of cut flowers.

Still another object of the present invention is that when a cut flower producer uses a truck, an airplane or the like to transport cut flowers, the cut flowers are usually shaped according to the type or transportation means. , Labor-saving work of packing a specified number of cut flowers as a specified length in an outer box for transportation (made of cardboard paper), and as a medium for water necessary for plant physiology of cut flowers during transportation. The above problem is to provide a transportation device relating to a combination of a holding box and an outer box, which is effective in keeping the freshness of cut flowers and labor-saving, by removing harmful effects caused by water leakage by replenishing with capillary water.

[0013]

[0018]

Since the preservative medium for cut flowers according to the present invention is produced by the above-mentioned method, the dry granular pulp is a spherical body in which pulp fibers are intricately intricate, and the outer peripheral surface is formed by the constituent fibers. It has porous microscopic channels communicating from one side to the other side or in many directions, and it is soft and absorbs moisture into the porous channels by hydration to a saturated state, and collapses the moisture-containing state. Can be maintained without.

Therefore, when a cut flower is inserted into this moisture-containing medium, the water evaporated from the leaves, flowers, etc. of the cut flower is replenished from this moisture-containing medium as a physiological action of the plant. At this time, since the moisture-containing medium is porous, the water content in each granular medium is replenished by the evaporation of cut flowers by the capillary phenomenon via the water existing in the gaps in each medium. can do.

That is, when it is replenished by the capillary phenomenon from the moistened spherical medium close to the cut flower stem, the pores of the adjacent moistened spherical medium are passed through the minute gaps between the respective media. Therefore, it is recognized that each spherical moisturizing operation cooperates with each other and has a function of replenishing the water lost by the evaporation of the cut flowers by the capillary phenomenon.

[0021]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Various preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. (Example 1) As shown in FIG. 1, a preservative medium for cut flowers according to the present invention and a method for producing the same are used to disintegrate a waste paper raw material with a pulper 1 by a conventional method, and to disperse the liquid pulp fiber disaggregated,
After transferring to the screen machine 2 and performing required dust removal, this is guided to the thickener device 3 to perform primary dehydration to a water content of 65 to 75%, and then this is further dewatered in the press dehydrator 4 It is re-dehydrated to 40 to 50% to obtain a plate-shaped moist pulp, and the plate-shaped moist pulp is provided with a punch board and screw blades having a large number of round holes with a pore diameter of 10 m / m. It is guided to the granulating device 5, and the plate-shaped moist pulp on the punch ball is pressed by the rotation of the screw blade so as to pass through the round hole of the punch board, and the moist pulp of about 4 to 7 m / m. It is formed into granules. (First step)

The thickness of the above-mentioned plate-shaped moist pulp corresponds to the hole diameter provided in the punch board in the press dehydration process in order to facilitate the subsequent rounding step, and is approximately the same as the hole diameter. It is desirable to press-dehydrate to form a plate.

In the above, as the shape of the granular pulp, the shape of the hole to be punched in the punch board can be selected as a round shape or a bale shape, the round shape is shaped into a sphere, and the bale shape is an elliptical sphere. It is easy to shape, but in order to reduce the error in the gap between the granular pulps and to smooth the capillary phenomenon when it is saturated with the granular pulp, the outer surface of the sphere should be close to a spherical surface. It is desirable to shape it.

Next, the moisture-containing pulp which has undergone the above-mentioned first step is provided with a screw blade on the inner wall of the body, and a cylindrical body provided with an appropriate inclination angle is provided with an appropriate air-blowing / humidifying mechanism and vapor circulation circuit. Is guided to the roundness imparting mechanism 6 and the cylindrical body is rotated while supplying warm air of 80 to 100 ° C., whereby
At the inner wall of the cylindrical body, the moisture-containing granular pulp is rolled to impart roundness to the moisture-containing pulp, and is displaced toward the outlet through the rotating screw blades of the cylinder to form a substantially spherical shape. It is shaped into a body and dried and solidified to a water content of 10 to 15% to obtain granular pulp and some broken powder. (Second step)

The dried and solidified spherical pulp is guided to a particle size sorting mechanism having an inner diameter of 4 m / m, 6 m / m, and 8 m / m of a sieve and sorted according to particle size to obtain approximately the same amount of granular pulp according to particle size. Some fluid was obtained. The pulp which became the powder was returned to the pulper 1 and used for re-disaggregation. (3rd step)

The dry granular pulp obtained by combining the above first to third steps is greyish white opaque, soft (having some elasticity and breathability), porous, lightweight and free from the presence of bacteria. I was not able to admit. Therefore, the particle size of this spherical pulp is 4 m /
m, 6 m / m, and 8 m / m for the same volume of each mixture,
When 0.8 amount of room temperature water was added, it was saturated after about 2 minutes and no excess water was generated.

Next, a spherical pulp having a particle size of 8 m / m as a base material and a liquid pulp having a particle size of 4 m / m mixed with 40% by weight of a splitting material as a base material has a spherical pulp volume of 1 and a volume of 0.9 at room temperature. When water was added, it became saturated after approximately 2 minutes and no excess water was produced. This resulted in an increase in the total moisture absorption of each spherical pulp as a result of the small cross-sectional area of the spherical pulp (surface area) increasing by the invasion of the small-sized spherical pulp into the gap between the large-sized spherical pulps. Recognized as something.

Although the physical properties of the spherical pulp of the present application are unclear from an academic point of view, when the findings of the inventors and the results of experiments are combined, the composition has the properties described below. Is recognized.

That is, the disintegrated pulp fibers are arranged in a complicated manner intertwined with each other in multiple directions in the primary dehydration, and in the granulating apparatus from the plate-like wet pulp in the secondary dehydration. Each granulate is homogenous, soft and porous and lightweight because it becomes granular and is further spheroidized by the rounding process.

Therefore, the pulp fibers are shaped into a generally spherical shape during rounding, each spherical pulp is solidified individually, and the pulp fibers are intricately entangled with each other in each granular pulp to form individual lumps. Although the surface is rough, complex pores extend in multiple directions from the rough surface toward the inside of the sphere, and fine pores are exposed in multiple directions on the outer surface, and the porous pores have moisture absorption performance. As a capillary phenomenon, it is recognized that it replenishes the water lost by the transpiration action of plants.

(Example 2) The liquid pulp obtained by disaggregating the waste paper raw material in the above-mentioned Example 1 by a conventional method was subjected to primary dehydration, and the pulp was used as a base material.
A granular soft porous medium was obtained by drying and solidifying a composite material in which glass fibers of short fibers were mixed at a weight ratio of 3 to 5% with respect to a granular pulp raw material while being granulated. Compared with the soft porous medium obtained in Example 1 above,
Although elasticity and moisture content were not so different, toughness and tensile strength were improved, and it was found that collapse property after hydrous moisture was reduced. It is recognized that this is because the tensile strength of the mixed short glass fibers is superior to that of the constituent fibers of the pulp fiber material alone.

(Example 3) In order to efficiently obtain the benefits of the present invention, when the preservative medium is used as a long-term preservative medium after absorbing water with water, the moisture in the humid medium is rotted. I found it necessary to prevent it. Example 1 above
Liquid pulp fiber obtained by disaggregating the waste paper raw material in the above-mentioned manner by the ordinary method is subjected to primary and secondary dewatering to re-dehydrate to a content rate of 40 to 50% to obtain a hydrated plate-like pulp, which is granulated. Then, in the roundness imparting mechanism 6, a water-soluble plant preservative and / or a phytonutrient is added and mixed, and the granules are mixed with 80 to 80 in accordance with Example 1.
Heat treatment in a warm air bath at 100 ° C, content rate 10
It was dried and solidified to -15% to obtain a soft porous medium.

The surface hardness of the medium, the moisture content, and the collapse degree of the medium after the moisture saturation were not much different from those of the medium of Example 1, and the temperature was 25 to 35 ° C. in a room without air. 168 hours (7 days) after a certain amount of water and saturated moisture medium
After the lapse of time, when the moistened medium was taken out and inspected, there was no odor and no trace of decay was observed. An example of the above-mentioned suitable preservative is glucose powder, but it goes without saying that suitable amounts of other well-known preservatives can also be used.

(Example 4) Furthermore, in order to obtain the benefits of the present invention, an appropriate amount of a fragrance and / or a coloring agent of an appropriate color is attached to the above-mentioned aggregate of spherical porous media, and the fragrance is added. Is allowed to penetrate into the porous channels of the medium,
Gradually it was possible to release the perfume infused respectively. Therefore, during transportation of cut flowers, storage of cut flowers, or exhibition of cut flowers, if an fragrance suitable for the environment is selected in advance, a suitable fragrance can be released in a timely manner.

In addition, the medium to which the coloring material is attached uses an coloring medium having a color opposite to that of the stem of the cut flower in the packing work at the time of shipping the cut flower, so that the average amount of the medium around the stem of the cut flower is reduced. It becomes easy to arrange the medium, and the capillary phenomenon can be smoothed. Furthermore, when displaying ikebana using a basin or the like, if the water in the basin is replaced by a medium in a hydrolyzed state, there is no risk of flooding when moving to the exhibition site, and at that time, It can be said that the three-dimensional exposure of a medium having a color suitable for the form and color tone of the fresh flower also creates a new aesthetic sensation.

Next, the constructions of the cut flower holding box and the transport device having cut flower storability according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. (Embodiment 5) As shown in FIG. 2, cardboard or corrugated cardboard is used to form a cut flower holding box 11 having an appropriate volume, such as a quadrangular cross section or a rectangular cross section. The lid 12 on the upper side, which is the insertion side, has a desired opening selectively adapted to the type of cut flowers and the number of cut flowers to be inserted for transportation (corresponding to the cross-sectional area of the stem portion in which cut flowers are subdivided and bundled). A plurality of demarcation lines 13 to be opened at are formed by perforations or the like. A desired opening 14 can be formed by simultaneously breaking one, two or more or all of the partitions along the partition line 13, and the collar formed by the opening edge of the opening 14 can be formed. With the portion 15, the stem portion of the cut flowers for transportation inserted into the cut flower holding box 11 through the opening 14 can be stably held.

(Sixth Embodiment) The demarcation line 13 for forming the above-mentioned opening 14 can adopt various modifications.
For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a partition line 13 is formed in a petal shape on the lid 12 of the cut flower holding box 11 by perforations and the like, and a desired break along the partition line 13 is applied to cut flowers for transportation. It is possible to form the opening portion 14 and the collar portion 15 to be used.

(Embodiment 7) As shown in FIG. 4, the cut flower holding box 11 is made of a synthetic resin sheet filled with a predetermined amount of the cut flower preservative medium 17 as shown in FIG. The bag body 16 is stored in advance, and with the opening 18 side of the bag body 16 pulled out from the opening 14, the root of the cut bouquet 19 is inserted into the bag body 16 sequentially or simultaneously. At the same time, an appropriate amount of water is added to saturate the preservative medium 17, and then the body of the bag body 16 is stringed at the upper position adjacent to the collar 15 and other known binding means 2
Rough binding through 0. As a result, necessary moisture is sequentially supplied to the cut bouquet 19 by the capillary phenomenon via the moisturized storage medium 17, and the bag body 16 is expanded by the moistened and swollen storage medium 17. Therefore, the cut bouquet 19 does not drop out from the opening 14 and the stem of the cut bouquet 19 is supported by the collar 15 and the binding means 20, so that a stable posture can be maintained.

(Embodiment 8) The cut bouquet 19 having the root inserted into the holding box 11 is shipped in a state in which it is housed in a corrugated cardboard outer shipping box 21 as shown in FIG. As the arrangement / positioning means of the holding box 11 with respect to the outer shipping box 21, when the holding box 11 is placed in the outer shipping box 21, an adhesive means such as a double-sided tape is previously placed on the contact surfaces of the holding box 11 to bond them. Alternatively, a cushioning member made of, for example, styrofoam, is attached and fixedly held in both voids.

In the construction of the holding box 11, the holding box 1
Although not shown in the drawings as another embodiment, instead of incorporating the bag body 16 filled with the medium in advance in 1, the box body material such as cardboard is appropriately folded and assembled according to the volume of the box body. Possibly, the combination engaging portion is formed to cut the box body material through known means, and the body portions of the box body are glued or fastened to each other and folded according to folds, and at the same time, the box body Both end surfaces of the box body is expanded and folded in a plane, and a bag body made of a synthetic resin sheet or the like filled with a predetermined amount of cut flower preservative medium is separately prepared in advance, When packing cut flowers for transportation, the box body is three-dimensionally assembled, the bag body filled with the medium is housed inside the box body, and the engaging portions of both end surfaces thereof are engaged with each other to form a holding box. You may. Accordingly, when the box body and the bag body filled with the medium are stored or transported to the cut flower producer, it is possible to save the space of the storage or transportation means.

Water can be added to the above-mentioned medium at an appropriate time, and before the cut flowers are inserted into the medium, the medium is preliminarily hydrated to reach a saturated state, or when water is insufficient in the middle, it is bound. It goes without saying that the means can be once removed and additional water can be added. As for the amount of water added to the medium, it is desirable to display the amount of the medium filled and the appropriate amount of water added on the outer surface of the bag filled with the medium.

[0042]

Since the present invention has the above configuration,
The following effects can be achieved. (B) Since the preservative medium for cut flowers is formed by drying and solidifying pulp fibers into granules, it has a soft porosity and forms a moisturized tissue in which complex entangled paths of pulp fibers extend from the outer surface in multiple directions. Since it is possible to absorb a large amount of water or an aqueous solution and maintain a saturated state, it is possible to withstand an appropriate amount of water that is lost due to transpiration due to the physiological action of the plant by capillarity for a long time. In addition, there is no collapse phenomenon due to moisture absorption, and it can be reused by washing after use.

Since it is lightweight, soft and granular, it can be filled in a container of an appropriate shape and easily provided for storage, transportation, exhibition and the like.

In the disposal process after use, no high temperature is required for incineration, and there is no fear of producing offensive odors or toxic gases, which helps prevent pollution, and can be re-disassembled after use to re-produce the product. It can also be reduced to a raw material.

Further, when the cut flowers are transported, the stems of the cut flowers are inserted into the medium of the bag body provided in the transport holding box, so that the packing is easy and labor-saving, and the medium does not overflow. Therefore, there is no risk of water leakage, and therefore, there is no obstacle such as flooding at the time of transportation by an airplane or at an exhibition place, which stains the floor. Further, since it is porous, various industrial effects such as utilization as a medium for aromatic agents can be achieved.
