Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To exhaust air contained in dishcloth-gourd solution at the time of collecting the dishcloth-gourd solution and preserve the dishcloth-gourd solution for a long time by providing a container for collecting the dishcloth-gourd solution, connecting an intermediate tank with a vacuum pump below the container through a valve and connecting a production tank below the intermediate tank. SOLUTION: A stem 1 of a dishcloth gourd is pushed into a tank 2, and a dishcloth-gourd solution is ejected therein. A movable component 20 in a production tank 14 is fixed on a cover 17 by a screw 23. Then, valves 3 and 10 are closed and valves 7, 12 and 15 are opened, and when a vacuum pump 8 is operated, the insides of an intermediate tank 4, a mixer 3 and a main body 16 are vacuumized. When the valves 7 and 12 are closed and the valve 3 is opened, the dishcloth-gourd solution is fed into a tank 4, and successively when the valve 3 is closed and the valve 7 is opened, an air content contained in the dishcloth-gourd solution is discharged by the pump 8. Then the valve 7 is closed and the valve 12 is opened to pass the dishcloth-gourd solution through a filter 11 and flowed into a mixer 13, and then passed through a suction pipe 18 and introduced into the main body 16 and stored therein.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for collecting loofah water used as cosmetic water from loofah trees.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, loofah water is collected by putting the tip of the stem of loofah tree in a suitable container and collecting the loofah water as it is. Contains glycerin (used to improve the feel on the skin).

[0003]

Since the conventional loofah water contains housan or the like for long-term storage, the natural goodness is impaired. The present invention allows long-term storage without the addition of such.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] At the time of collecting luffa water, the air content contained in the luffa water is extracted and stored in a storage container as it is.

[0005]

[Function] Prevents the growth of loofah water and aerobic bacteria in the container by evacuating air, and also prevents the deterioration of loofah water due to oxidation to enable long-term storage.

[0006]

An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The device according to the invention comprises a tank 2 for collecting loofah water from a loofah tree stem 1, below which an intermediate tank 4 is placed via a valve 3. The intermediate tank 4 is provided with a lid 5, and a vacuum pump 8 is provided from the lid 5 via a pipe 6 and a valve 7. The lid 5 is provided with another pipe 9 and a valve 10 at the tip thereof. A filter 11 is provided inside the intermediate tank 4.

A valve 12 is placed below the intermediate tank 4, a mixer 13 is placed below it, and a product tank 14 is placed below it. The product tank 14 has a valve 15 and a main body 1 placed thereon.
6 and the lid 17 are configured as an outer peripheral portion. A suction pipe 18 connected to the valve 15 is fixed to the lid 17, and extends to near the bottom of the main body 16. Inside the main body 16, a movable member 20 in which a packing 19 is provided at a contact portion with the main body 16 and a contact portion with the suction pipe 18 is housed. A space 21 is provided above the movable member 20 so that air can flow in and out through a hole 22 provided in the lid 17. The movable member 20 can be fixed to the lid 17 with screws 23.

The intermediate tank 4 and the lid 5 are fixed by screws or the like, and are sealed by an appropriate packing (not shown) to prevent air from entering and exiting. The body 16 and the lid 17 of the product tank are fixed and sealed in the same manner. As the mixer 13, a generally available mixer that does not use power, for example, a static mixer in which vanes are arranged in a tube can be used.

[0009]

With the above-described structure, the loofah stem 1 is pushed into the tank 2 and the loofah water is discharged into the tank 2. First, the movable member 20 in the product tank 14 is fixed to the lid 17 with the screw 23. Then valves 3 and 10 are closed and valve 7
When 12 and 15 are opened and the vacuum pump 8 is operated, the inside of the intermediate tank 4, the mixer 13, and the inside of the main body 16 become vacuum. Next, valve 7 and valve 12 are closed and valve 3 is opened.
Inside. Next, when the valve 3 is closed and the valve 7 is opened, the air contained in the loofah water is discharged by the vacuum pump 8. Next, when the valve 7 is closed and the valve 12 is opened, the loofah water enters the main body 16 through the filter 11, the mixer 13 and the suction pipe 18.

By repeating the above operation, the loofah water is filled in the product tank 14 and the valve 15 is closed. When the product tank 14 is removed from the mixer 13 with the valve 15 still attached, the deflated loofah water is retained in the product tank 14.

If necessary, before the air is removed from the loofah water in the intermediate tank 4, a proper amount of glycerin, borosan, etc. is introduced from the valve 10. These adjuncts are mixed with loofah water by the mixer 13 before entering the product tank 14.

Product tank 1 removed from mixer 13
4 may be distributed to the user as it is. To remove loofah water from the product tank 14, the bolt 23 is removed and the valve 15 is opened. As a result, since the movable member 20 has the upper part at atmospheric pressure and the lower part at vacuum, the upper surface of the loofah water is pushed by the movable member 20, and the loofah water rises in the suction pipe 18 and goes out of the valve 15. . When the valve 15 is closed, the loofah water maintains a vacuum as it is.

Remove air from the time when the loofah water was collected,
Since it is kept as it is, it can be stored for a long period in the anoxic state. It can inactivate aerobic bacteria and prevent oxidative deterioration.
