Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing a porous candle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a process of manufacturing a porous candle according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a third process shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a first embodiment of the present invention. 4 is a perspective view of a porous candle manufactured according to an example, and FIG. 4 is a state diagram when the wick of the porous candle shown in FIG. 3 is lit.

Method for producing a porous candle according to the first embodiment of the present invention is a first step (S10) of making a paraffin solution by heating the solid paraffin as shown in Figure 1, by mixing a predetermined amount of water-soluble particles in the paraffin solution A second process (S12) of making the paraffin / water-soluble particle mixture, a third process (S14) of putting the paraffin / water-soluble particle mixture into the mold and then applying a predetermined pressure to separate the candle molding from the mold The fourth step (S16) and the fifth step (S18) of dissolving the water-soluble particles mixed in the candle molding in water and then dried to complete the porous candle.

In the first step (S10), a predetermined amount of solid paraffin is introduced into a heating vessel (not shown in the drawing), and then the heating vessel is heated to a temperature of 47 to 65 [deg.] C to melt the solid paraffin to paraffin liquid. Make At this time, in order to manufacture a porous candle having a color other than milky white, an oil-soluble dye of a desired color is added while melting the solid paraffin, or a solid paraffin colored with a desired color is used.

In the second step (S12), 5 to 10 times the amount of water-soluble particles of paraffin solution is added to the paraffin solution contained in the inside of the heating vessel, and then the paraffin solution and a mixture (not shown) are used. Mix the water-soluble particles evenly. Here, if the amount of the water-soluble particles mixed in the paraffin liquid is less than the set value, the sponge-like body is not made because the candle is almost the same as the conventional candle is produced, and if it is larger than the set value, it is well broken when molding using a mold later It's not good because you lose. The water-soluble particles include all particles dissolved in water having an average size of 0.01 to 5 [mm]. For example, since the water-soluble particles are widely used in real life, they can be easily obtained and inexpensive salt, sugar, saccharin, and the like. Here, if the average size of the water-soluble particles is less than 0.01mm, the sponge-like paraffin body is not made because the candle is almost the same as a conventional candle is produced is not good, if larger than 5mm candle moldings in the process of dissolving water-soluble particles in water later It is not good because it is easily broken. Meanwhile, the water-soluble particles must have a melting point higher than the melting point of the solid paraffin (47-65 [° C.]), so that the water-soluble particles have a melting point of higher temperature than the solid paraffin because the water-soluble particles are not melted even when mixed with the paraffin liquid. The use of is essential. However, since the melting point of the solid paraffin is much lower, most of the water-soluble particles including salt, sugar and saccharin (salt: about 800 ° C, sugar: about 180 ° C, saccharin: about 229 ° C) satisfy the above-mentioned conditions. do.

As shown in FIG. 2, the third step S14 is a predetermined amount of the paraffin / water-soluble particle mixture 12 'into the mold 20 in which the wick 14 is embedded, and the pressing plate 22 is used. A predetermined pressure is applied to the paraffin / water soluble particle mixture 12'to make a candle molding. The pressure applied to the paraffin / water-soluble particle mixture 12 'is determined in consideration of the size and the mixing amount of the water-soluble particles. The shape of the mold 20 may be variously changed, and other molding machines other than the mold 20 and the pressing plate 22 may be used.

The fourth step (S16) carefully separates the candle molding from the mold 20 shown in FIG.

In the fifth step (S18), the candle molding is placed in a water tank (not shown in the drawing) and left for a predetermined time while being immersed in the water of the tank to completely dissolve the water-soluble particles mixed in the candle molding in water. It is then taken out of the tank and completely dried to complete the porous candle 10 shown in FIG. That is, when all of the water-soluble particles mixed in the candle molding are dissolved in water, only paraffin remains, and all the positions where the water-soluble particles are located are changed into small holes, and as a result, a sponge-type paraffin body 12 is formed. In addition, the time to put the candle molding in water varies depending on the size of the candle molding or the amount of water-soluble particles, etc., but usually, all the water-soluble particles are dissolved when placed in water for 12 hours to 48 hours. In addition, the candle molded product taken out of the bath is preferably dried at room temperature in consideration of the low melting point of paraffin. As such, the drying time and drying method may be modified within a range not departing from the technical gist of the present invention.

Since the porous candle 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention manufactured by the above process includes a much smaller amount of paraffin than the conventional candle, it is lighter than the conventional candle and has a small pore formed as a whole. It will have a spongy sponge-like paraffin body 12. As shown in FIG. 4, the porous candle 10 burns the wick 14 to the wick 14 so that the central portion where the wick 14 is positioned burns before the edge. Therefore, the candle (D) is collected in the inner space without overflowing to the outside. That is, the porous candle 10 is very suitable for interior use even if the wick 14 is lit, since the candle wax does not flow down the outer wall and maintains its appearance as in the conventional candle. In addition, the porous candle 10 is also suitable for the event by varying the shape by having a soft, crumb sponge-like paraffin body 12. For example, if you make a cake shape and use it for a birthday party, you can put a number of wicks in the paraffin body to replace the birthday candle, or you can turn off the candle and put the birthday party's face on the cake. You can enjoy the event without wasting food or risk.

In the second step (S12), the paraffin liquid contained in the inside of the heating container is divided, and the first water-soluble particles are added to one side, and the second water-soluble particles having a smaller average size than the first water-soluble particles are added to the other side, followed by a mixer ( Paraffin solution and the first water-soluble particle, the paraffin solution and the second water-soluble particle are evenly mixed. At this time, the first water-soluble particles and the second water-soluble particles are added to the paraffin liquid is about 5 to 10 times of the paraffin liquid mixed with itself based on the volume. The first water-soluble particles include all particles dissolved in water while having an average size of 3 mm to 1 cm, and the second water-soluble particles include all particles dissolved in water while having an average size of 0.01 to 5 [mm]. For example, the first and second water-soluble particles are widely used in real life, so that they can be easily obtained and inexpensive salt, sugar, saccharin and the like. Here, when the average size of the first water-soluble particles is less than 3mm it is difficult to see the indirect lighting effect to be described later, it is not good, if larger than 1cm, the candle molding in the process of dissolving the first and second water-soluble particles in water later It is not good because the center part is easily broken. In addition, when the average size of the second water-soluble particles is smaller than 0.01mm, the outer portion of the paraffin body is made of a sponge instead of making a candle almost the same as a conventional candle it is difficult to see the indirect lighting effect to be described later If it is larger than 5 mm, the shape of the candle molding is easily broken in a process of dissolving the first and second water-soluble particles in water later.

As shown in FIG. 6, the third step S54 is performed by inserting a first paraffin / water-soluble particle mixture 32-1 'into a central portion of the mold 40 in which the wick 34 is embedded. A predetermined amount of 2 paraffin / water-soluble particle mixture 32-2 'is injected into the remaining inner portion (outer portion) of the mold 40, and then the first and second paraffin / water-soluble particle mixtures 32 are pressed using the pressing plate 42. -1 ', 32-2') to give a predetermined pressure to make a candle molding. The inner central part and the remaining part of the mold 40 are divided by the partition 40 '. The pressure applied to the first and second paraffin / water-soluble particle mixtures 32-1 'and 32-2' is determined in consideration of the size and mixing amount of the first and second water-soluble particles.
