Toilets are spaces where the function of disposing of excrement is performed, so in the past, they were used as facilities in a location isolated from human dwelling facilities, but nowadays, as the urban population increases due to the modernization of society and the residential culture has changed into apartments-like apartments. Most of them are installed and used in human dwelling spaces. Accordingly, toilets have been developed in various ways to ensure hygiene of internal facilities and spaces and to create a pleasant environment.

Among the types of toilets, the toilet is a main body constituting a discharge tank, a seat provided above the main body, a toilet cover rotatably installed on the main body to conceal the discharge tank and the upper portion of the seat, and the inside of the discharge tank. It comprises a water tank for storing water for discharging dirt, and a discharge means for discharging the water stored in the water tank.

When a user uses the toilet to toilet, he sees the toilet while sitting on a seat fixed on the upper part of the toilet, and the water is flushed out by an automatic or manual switch and the feces are flushed into the septic tank, which causes hygiene problems. do. Specifically, when the water is flushed after a toilet, the water falls from the reservoir and a large drop is caused, so that the washing water in the toilet becomes fine droplets and scatters outside the toilet.

According to a recent report, in a toilet with a single inlet, a vortex is formed on the opposite side of the water inlet, and fine water droplets can rise up to a height of about 90 cm above the toilet in an ascending airflow. It has been reported that it can float in the air for more than 1 minute, so it may enter the body when inhaling or contaminate the surface of an object.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. In the following description, it should be noted that only parts necessary for understanding the embodiments of the present invention will be described, and descriptions of other parts will be omitted without distracting the gist of the present invention.

The terms or words used below should not be construed as being limited to their usual or dictionary meanings, and those having substantially the same configuration as the technical idea and achieving the same effect are included in the technical scope of the present invention.

When'include','have','consists of' and the like mentioned in the present specification are used, other parts may be added unless'only' is used. In the case of expressing the constituent elements in the singular, it includes the case of including the plural unless specifically stated otherwise.

The present invention provides a scattering-preventing toilet bowl cleaner capable of simply preventing scattering of washing water and contaminants when flushing the toilet by including a scattering-preventing substance in the toilet bowl cleaner.

In the cleaning agent of the present invention, the anti-scattering substances include α or β-cellobiose and derivatives thereof, α or β-glycosides and derivatives thereof; Any one or more selected from glycogens, preferably β-cellobiose and/or β-glycoside.

Cellobiose is a disaccharide having the formula C ₁₂ H ₂₂ O ₁₁ , and cellobiose, a reducing sugar, is a compound in which two β-glucose molecules are linked by β(1→4) glycoside bonds. Since it has one acetal and one hemiacetal, it forms a strong intermolecular or intramolecular hydrogen bond, and α-cellobiose and β-cellobiose are isomers of each other. In addition, since cellobiose has a free ketone group in its structure, it can act as a reducing agent.

Cellobiose is produced in the process of decomposition of cellulose, which is widely distributed in plants, and is naturally present in pine needles or stalks of corn.

As a method for producing cellobiose, a method of chemically or enzymatically decomposing cellulose is known. Among them, in the enzymatic decomposition method, for example, in addition to a method of obtaining cellobiose by reacting a commercial cellulase preparation such as trichoderma origin and Aspergillus origin with cellulose, cellulose of cellulase A method of obtaining cellobiose using an enzyme preparation from which β-glucosidase has been removed by utilizing the difference in adsorption force to a furnace, a method of performing a hydrolysis reaction in the presence of lignin, and the like are known. In addition, a method for purifying cellobiose, characterized in that lignocellulose is hydrolyzed in the presence of cellulase and lignin-degrading bacteria or lignin-decomposing enzymes, is known.

On the other hand, in the chemical decomposition method, for example, a method of fractionating cellobiose using a carbon column or the like is known, and a raw material containing natural lignocellulose is cooked to obtain wet pulp without subsequent drying. Cellobiose can also be obtained by partial decomposition by action.

Glycoside is a compound in which an ether-type bond is formed between a hemiacetal hydroxy group of sugar and functional groups such as various alcohols, phenols, carboxylic acids, and aldehydes, and mainly exists in the plant world. Usually, it is broken down into a sugar part and a non-sugar part (aglycone) by the action of an acid, a base or an enzyme. These moieties are bonded to each other through the anomeric carbon atom of the sugar. The most common naturally occurring glycoside is an O-glycoside, in which half of the usual sugar and aglycone are linked by acetal function. However, there are also naturally occurring N-glycosides, S-glycosides and C-glycosides, in which the anomer carbon of a sugar is linked to each of the nitrogen, sulfur or carbon atoms through aglycone [casimiroedine (N-glycoside ), synigreen (S-glycoside) and alloin (C-glycoside)]. Sometimes aglycones are linked to sugars by ester groups.

Glycosides are glucoside, galactoside, and fructoside, depending on the type of sugar component, and glycosides have asymmetric carbon atoms and have two stereoisomers of α and β types. In nature, it is widely distributed in the plant world, most of which are left-rotating and β-type, and α-type is obtained synthetically, and it is estimated that the medical effects of plants and the color of flowers are mainly dependent on the glycosides contained therein. Glycosides are hydrolyzed into sugars and aglycones by acid or the enzyme glycosidase.

Glycogen is a storage carbohydrate that is widely present in animals, plants (exists in the form of phytoglycogen), yeast, bacteria, and archaebacteria, and has a molecular weight of 106-109 Daltons and α-1,4-(90%) and α-1,6-(10). %) A substance composed of bonds. It is also called animal starch. Glycogen supplies energy necessary for exercise in animal tissues and plays an important role as a major source of nutrients in humans.Glycogen metabolism of E. coli has a lot in common with the metabolic process of starch accumulation in plants by linking it with photosynthetic microorganisms. The production of glycogen mainly uses microorganisms or enzymes. Enzymatic Synthesis Glycogen can be produced through a purification process by synthesizing glycogen by reacting enzymes such as Iso amylase, Blanching enzyme, and Amylo maltase from plant-derived starch. Glycogen has a large number of hydroxyl groups in its molecule and can generate strong hydrogen bonds.

Such cellobiose, glycoside, and glycogen can form strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds or intramolecular hydrogen bonds, and when included in a toilet cleaner, improve the viscosity of water in the toilet bowl, It can act as a scattering prevention material that prevents the scattering of particles in the toilet, including washing water and dirt.

The anti-scattering substance may further control the properties of the substance by adding functional groups such as an acetyl group to the cellobiose, glycoside, and glycogen molecules.

In addition, since the cellobiose is contained in a large amount in the corn stem extract, it may be used as a scattering prevention material according to the present invention without purification of the corn extract.

In the present invention, the anti-scattering material does not contain other ingredients such as surfactants, and is used alone, and may be used only for the purpose of preventing scattering of contaminants and the like when flushing the toilet.

In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the anti-scattering material may be included as a component in a toilet cleaner that is generally used for cleaning toilet bowls, so that it may be used for the purpose of preventing scattering of contaminants at the same time as a toilet cleaning effect.

When used simultaneously with the cleaning agent, the anti-scattering material may be included in an amount of 3 to 40% by weight, preferably 5 to 30% by weight.

The toilet cleaner having the anti-scattering effect of the present invention may include other additional ingredients included in the general toilet bowl cleaner. Such additional components include, but are not limited to, surfactants, dissolution rate modifiers, viscosity modifiers, antifoaming agents, acidity modifiers, dyes, fragrances, and the like, and may include all of them, and optionally some components of these may be used. You can also choose.

The surfactant is included in the detergent in an amount of 30 to 60% by weight in order to prevent foaming or sticking of scale while having a cleaning effect.

The surfactant may be at least one selected from the group consisting of cationic surfactants, anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, and combinations thereof, and is not limited to a specific substance, but preferably alkylbenzene sulfonate, alpha olefin sulfate, alkyl sulfate , Alkyl sulfonate, lignin sulfonate, ester sulfonate, higher fatty acid alkali salt, N-acrylic amino acid salt, alkel ether carbonate, acylated peptide, alkylamino trisalt, alkyl naphthalene sulfonate, alkyl ether sulfate, alkyl phosphate, alkyl It may be any one or more selected from the group consisting of ether phosphate and alkyl aryl ether phosphate, more preferably linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (Linear Alkylbenzene sulfonate), alpha olefin sulfate (Alpha olefin sulfate), or a combination thereof.

As other additives, the content of the dissolution rate control agent, the antifoaming agent, the acidity control agent, the dye, and the flavoring agent is a general matter and can be easily controlled by a person skilled in the art, and thus detailed descriptions of the content and types thereof are omitted.

In another aspect, the present invention provides a detergent containing a sufficient amount of a viscosity agent to prevent scattering by improving the viscosity of water in the toilet.

In general, commercially available detergents are for the purpose of washing the toilet only, and the viscosity agent included in the detergent is used for the purpose of adjusting the viscosity of the detergent itself, and is contained in a maximum of 5% by weight.

In the present invention, noting that the viscosity agent can also change the viscosity of water in the toilet, if the amount of the viscosity agent is increased to an amount sufficient to increase the viscosity of water, the scattering of contaminants, etc., when flushing the toilet It was confirmed that it could be prevented, and another embodiment of the present invention was completed.

The viscosity agent is, but not limited to, fatty acid ester, fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ether, sorbitol polyethylene glycol ether, cocamidopropyl betaine, xanthan and mixtures thereof, acrylamide, acrylamidoalkylsulfonic acid or salt thereof, karaya gum , Guar gum, polyethylene glycol, sodium alginate, sodium acrylate, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), carbomer, xanthan gum, cellulose (cellulose) any one or more selected from can be used, preferably May be cellulose.

The detergent contains a viscosity agent in a range of 10 to 50% by weight higher than the content of the conventional detergent. When the viscosity agent is contained in an amount of less than 10% by weight, excessive use of a cleaning solution is required to improve the viscosity of water in the toilet, and when it exceeds 50% by weight, there is a problem that the cleaning power decreases due to a decrease in the surfactant content. Preferably, the viscosity agent is added in an amount of 15 to 30% by weight.

The detergent of the present invention contains 30 to 60% by weight of a surfactant. This is because the cleaning effect is insignificant when the surfactant is included in the cleaning agent in an amount of less than 30% by weight, and when it exceeds 60% by weight, the content of the viscosity agent is lowered, thereby reducing the scattering prevention effect.

These surfactants are at least one selected from the group consisting of cationic surfactants, anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, and combinations thereof, and are not limited to specific substances, but are preferably alkylbenzene sulfonates, alpha olefin sulfates, and alkyl sulfates. , Alkyl sulfonate, lignin sulfonate, ester sulfonate, higher fatty acid alkali salt, N-acrylic amino acid salt, alkel ether carbonate, acylated peptide, alkylamino trisalt, alkyl naphthalene sulfonate, alkyl ether sulfate, alkyl phosphate, alkyl It may be any one or more selected from the group consisting of ether phosphate and alkylaryl ether phosphate, and more preferably, the surfactant is straight chain alkylbenzene sulfonate, alpha olefin sulfate, or a combination thereof Can be

The detergent may further include a dissolution control agent, a dye, an antifoaming agent, an acidity control agent, and a fragrance as an optional additive. These additives are added to impart functionality in addition to the cleaning effect and anti-scattering effect of the detergent, and as described above, detailed descriptions of their content and types will be omitted.

As a method of preventing the scattering of contaminants in the toilet by using the cleaning agent according to the present invention, the cleaning agent of the present invention is filled in the inside of the tank of the toilet or in the cleaning agent attaching device attached to the rim of the toilet, that is, the lower part of the rim. Alternatively, the cleaning agent of the present invention may be directly attached to the inside of the toilet tank or the lower part of the rim without a separate attachment device, so that when the toilet water is flushed, the cleaning agent is dissolved and distributed in the washing water so that the inner wall of the toilet is automatically cleaned. Alternatively, the cleaning agent according to the present invention may be installed in the toilet storage tank so that when flushing the toilet water, the washing water in which the cleaning agent is dissolved is moved from the storage tank to the toilet bowl so that the inner wall of the toilet is automatically cleaned.

Hereinafter, for a more detailed description of the present invention, examples will be described. However, the following examples are only preferred examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

Experimental example

Experimental Example 1

Using the detergent compositions of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, a scattering prevention effect test generated when the toilet was flushed was conducted.

Experiment method

Set the amount of the prepared solid detergent dissolved in the toilet bowl to 30 mL when flushing the toilet once, and then cover the upper part of the toilet bowl including the toilet seat with excellent absorbency paper, and pull the toilet handle to remove the toilet contents. Sewage treatment. After that, the paper was visually checked to measure the amount of scattering. When the part where the color of the paper is discolored due to splashing of water droplets is clearly observed with the naked eye, the amount of scattering was determined to be large. Experiments were performed in the same manner for Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2. The results are shown in Table 2 below and FIGS. 1 to 6.

In Table 2, it was confirmed that scattering occurs when flushing the toilet water when using a detergent (Comparative Example 1) that does not contain a scattering agent and a viscosity agent and a detergent (Comparative Example 2) that includes a viscosity agent but contains 4% by weight. (See Figs. 1 to 6)

On the other hand, in Example 3 in which the content of the viscosity agent was 12% by weight, there appeared to be some scattering, but it was insignificant compared to the comparative example, and the weight of Examples 1 and 2 and the viscosity agent including the anti-scattering material was 20% by weight. In Example 4, which was increased to %, scattering was not observed.

Therefore, it can be seen that by adjusting the content of the anti-scattering material or the viscosity agent in the detergent, the viscosity of the water in the toilet can be increased, so that when the toilet water is flushed, the water in the toilet can be prevented from scattering.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but these are only exemplary, and those of ordinary skill in the field belonging to the art can use various modifications and equivalent other embodiments therefrom.
