The present invention relates to a composition, and more particularly, the effect of removing in advance the causative agent of various diseases that can escape through an exhaust port by killing or sterilizing ticks and various germs that may be present in a collector in a cleaner and cause various diseases. The present invention relates to a composition for vacuum cleaners having both an insecticidal and bactericidal effect for maintaining indoor air comfortably and a fragrance function by simultaneously adding a fragrance effect due to volatilization.

Generally, house dust mites and other germs live in the living space, and the asthma prevalence caused by this has recently increased worldwide. In the United States, the estimated prevalence of asthma among school-age children is 2.8-4.7%, and adults are 3.6-4.4%, an increase of about 0.25% per year. In Korea, asthma prevalence was 5.7% for school-aged children in the early 1980s, and 10.1% in 1990. There is a trend. There are many reasons for the increase in asthma, but the most important factors are pollution problems, changes in housing and dietary patterns. In other words, the change in the residential environment increases the number of families using sofas, beds, carpets, etc., and the increase in the number of households with pets in the house, and the opportunity to continuously expose them to house dust mites and animal hair, which are the main causes of allergic diseases. As the number increases, more and more people are sensitized to such allergens. In addition, due to the development of trade, patients with allergic diseases, which had not existed in our country before, the urticaria of pollen was originally an important allergen in the Western region, but as the seeds spread, it has become an important allergen in our country these days. Representative allergic diseases caused by pollen include allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma. The characteristics of the disease are symptoms appearing in the season when the pollen is flying, the weight of the symptoms is related to the amount of pollen in the atmosphere.

In addition, by maintaining the proper temperature and humidity in the room by the central heating, it is easy to breed house dust mites, molds, etc., sulfurous acid gas, sulfur oxides, ozone, etc. in the air pollution causes an inflammation of the airway.

The most common causes of allergic asthma are dust inhaled through the respiratory system, such as dust mites, pollen, mold, pet hair and dandruff, and insect debris such as cockroaches.

House dust mites, which are found in many of the indoor dusts in our country, usually have a size of 300 ~ 400㎛, and the main species is North American house dust mite (Dermatophagoides farinae) and European house dust mite (Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus) Some patients have been sensitized to more than 20 species of ticks, including dust mites such as Eurohlyphus Maynei, storage mites such as Tyrophagus Putrescentiae, Acarus Siro, and Glycyphagus Destructor. Reported.

Dust mite is the main food source for ingestion, and breeds normally in man-made environments. The optimum temperature for habitats is 25 ° C, and the optimum humidity is 75% relative humidity for North American dust mites and 80% for European house dust mites. It is easier to inhabit in more humid environments than North American ticks, and humidity, rather than temperature, has a greater impact on their reproduction. In other words, if the humidity is less than 70%, the water in the body gradually loses its shape and can not be maintained, and the North American house dust mite, which is more resistant to a relatively dry environment than the European house dust mite, also dies within a few days if the humidity is less than 50%.

In the home, they are most often found on carpets, bed mattresses, cloth sofas, curtains, stuffed animals and mink blankets in our country, and they are widely distributed and built at the bottom of buckwheat pillows, Jonah futons and the cabinets containing them. Inhabits many old houses. In addition, central heating maintains the temperature of the whole house at about 17 ℃ to 25 ℃, increases the humidity in the room by reducing ventilation for heat preservation, and develops a series of residential environments such as washing bedding at room temperature due to the development of detergent. Changes are facilitating the breeding of house dust mites.

The antigenicity of house dust mites is irrelevant to life and death, and feces are more allergenic than body. Therefore, environmental therapy for house dust mites is desirable to eradicate them indoors, to remove the dust and feces.

House dust mites that live on the scales that fall from the skin of a person can first be sensitized if they are more than 100 per 1 g, which can cause allergic diseases, many of which are present in bed mattresses, rugs, cloth sofas, clothes, bed linens, and car seats. Hundreds of house dust mites are found in every gram of dust collected, and as many as 20,000 have been reported. Winter in our country is relatively long and dry, and most of the room structure is ondol, which makes it unsuitable for the breeding of ticks, but thick futons and dwellings have turned into well-heated apartments, and the use of humidifiers Due to the change of living environment such as increase, the situation is changing to the environment where ticks continue to live in the winter.

Patients with hypersensitivity allergy to house dust mites require efforts to minimize exposure to house dust mites with environmental therapies, in addition to drug and immunotherapy. Commonly known environmental therapies do not leave rugs, thick curtains in the bedroom, keep dusty blankets, clothing, etc. in the closet, close the windows well when there is a lot of pollen or pollution. It is best to vacuum the bed, wrap it in plastic, and use a plastic or wooden toy for children. In addition, it is possible to prevent by smoking in the room, do not keep pets, clean regularly, do not stay in the house during cleaning, and inevitable by using a mask for removing dust. Such environmental therapies are merely a method of improvement and can be used in addition to air-conditioners, air-cleaners, negative ion generators, electrostatic precipitators, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, etc. If you miss the inconvenience and replacement time, there is a disadvantage that can be harmful to the human body. Recently, a tick remedy drug and a spray agent capable of decomposing an antigen component of a tick have been developed, but there are disadvantages in that it is unsanitary and expensive due to contact with the human body after spraying.

In addition, molds that are allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma to date, in addition to house dust mite, are Cladosporium, Altenaria, Yeast fungus, Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Muco Fungi are known to be the main cause. Cladosporium and altenaria are outdoor molds commonly found in soil and fruit peels in the late summer and early autumn of temperate regions with distinct seasons. Yeast molds and blue molds are moist basements, indoor plants or baths, and indoor living rooms. Indoor molds that grow well on the back.

In addition to bronchial asthma, the disease caused by the fungus may be irritable pneumonia, and the yeast fungus may cause a special disease called allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.

In general, allergic diseases related to animals can be considered to be literally caused by hair such as dog hair and cat hair, but in reality, allergic diseases such as dandruff, saliva, tears, urine, and stool that come off the skin besides animal hair are allergic. Can cause. The most potent causative antigen in dogs and cats most commonly contacted as pets is known to be present in many dandruff factors that fall from the skin and rather in the hair. However, animal's saliva can be buried in the hair and show antigenicity.

Another cause is floating dusts such as fog, dust, smoke, dust, and soot, which are smaller than 10 μm in size and can reach the capillary bronchus of the human body, causing bronchial contraction and coughing.

Asthma can be caused or worsened by inhaling the causative allergen or nonspecific stimulus, so treatments that relieve symptoms by eliminating these factors in treating asthma are called environmental therapies. It must be preceded or in parallel.

Fungi are highly adaptable, so they grow anywhere except in the alpine drylands. Although the sporulation time varies depending on the type, in general, it breeds a lot in wet places, so the distribution peaks in Korea in July and August, the rainy season.

First of all, there is a way to make the room unsuitable for house dust mites. In other words, if the room temperature is 15 ° C. or lower and the humidity is less than 50%, the house dust mite can be suppressed and dried. However, in apartments such as apartments alone, it is not possible to keep the indoor temperature below 15 ℃, and as the asthma worsens when the room is dried by lowering the humidity to less than 40%, it is undesirable. It is preferable to keep 40-50% and temperature at about 15 degreeC. However, this method is only a general preventive measure.

The vacuum cleaner mainly used in homes is inhaled in the process of cleaning many ticks and germs remaining in the living environment and resides widely in the collector, thereby forming an unsanitary carrier, and various ticks and germs in the collected dust. In the process of using the vacuum cleaner again exits the exhaust outlet through the passage can re-contaminate the indoor air to cause allergic diseases, etc., rather than the elimination of the underlying causative agent causes these various diseases.

In order to solve this problem, Japanese Patent Nos. 94-52833 and 97-506279 use extracts such as carrots, serie, and parsley to improve the odor generated from the vacuum cleaner exhaust. Mites and other germs residing in the sieve cannot be removed natively, which can lead to an unsanitary indoor environment.

In addition, Japanese Patent No. 93-21853 tried to obtain a deodorant air freshener effect by putting air freshener inside the vacuum cleaner, but this also cannot remove the house dust mites and various germs existing inside the vacuum cleaner, and simply effects other than air freshener. There is a disadvantage that can not be expected.

In order to solve this problem, Japanese Patent No. 94-256128 attempts to suppress the growth of ticks by inhaling a rosemary (rosemarinus officinalis) extract in a vacuum cleaner in a porous adsorbent, and Japanese Patent No. 96-103402 in Japanese Patent No. 96-103402. ) Is embedded in a ceramic sphere to remove mites and molds, which are allergic disease-causing substances collected in dust in a vacuum cleaner. Japanese Patent No. 97-110620 discloses aryl isocyanate (AIT). ) Was used as a microbial inhibitor in the vacuum cleaner by containing rosemary extract and cypress oil in shellac, which is a kind of resin, but the effect of eradicating house dust mites and various germs in dust is insignificant.

While cleaning the room with a vacuum cleaner, various mite substances and dust components inhabiting carpets, sofas, beds, etc. are inhaled and remain in the dust collector, and also decay in the process of food remaining in the collector for a long time. In addition to causing various odors, mold will grow. By using a vacuum cleaner having such an unsanitary environment, it is very likely that these components diffuse back into the indoor air through the exhaust vent of the cleaner, thereby creating an environment harmful to the human body.

The present inventors have conducted extensive research to improve the above problems, and as a result, the insecticide, sterilization and fragrance components are directly applied to the charging metal plate, or the components are contained in a carrier and attached to the exhaust plate of the charging metal plate or the vacuum cleaner. The present invention was completed by identifying the fragrances for insecticides and bactericidal effects that can create a hygienic and pleasant indoor environment that can drastically eradicate various germs including house dust mites and maintain indoor air comfortably. Was done.

The present invention relates to an insecticide and bactericidal fragrance composition for vacuum cleaners, which contains 0.001 to 1.0 wt% of house dust mite remover, 0.001 to 1.0 wt% of fungicide and 0.001 to 0.3 wt% of fragrance.

The insecticide and bactericidal fragrance composition for the vacuum cleaner of the present invention is an insecticide for ticks, pyrimiphos methyl, ascarosan, benzoic acid ester, paragerm, and natamycin. ), It is suitable to use from 0.001 to 1.0% by weight of one paper selected from the group consisting of phenythrothion and pyrethroid-based materials such as Permethrin, Phththhalth and Phenothrin. By using these pesticides, it is possible to fundamentally eradicate ticks in the collector. If the amount of these insecticides for ticks is less than 0.001% by weight, the insecticidal effect as expected cannot be expected, and when used in excess of 1.0% by weight, a proportional improvement effect cannot be expected.

In addition, the bactericidal component is selected from the group consisting of thiabendazole, triclosan, chlorohexidine gluconate, antibacterial zeolite and bactericidal natural bamboo extract, juniper extract, green tea extract and ginkgo biloba extract. It is appropriate to use 0.001 to 1.0% by weight. By using these bactericidal components, the growth of mold and bacteria can be suppressed. If the amount of these sterilizing components is less than 0.001% by weight, the sterilization effect as expected cannot be expected. If the content exceeds 1.0% by weight, it is not economical because a proportional improvement effect cannot be expected.

In addition, it is possible to maintain a comfortable indoor air by using a component that is easy to effectively remove the unpleasant odor component generated through the exhaust port when using the vacuum cleaner. Among these ingredients, it is possible to obtain indoor fragrance effect by appropriately using pine needle, green lemon, or other peppermint, spearmint, winter green, eucalyptol oil or fruit extract, which can give a forest or pruning effect. There is an advantage to this. The amount of these aromatic components used is preferably 0.001% by weight to 1.0% by weight. If it is less than 0.001% by weight, the scent effect as expected cannot be expected. If the content exceeds 1.0% by weight, it is not economical because a proportional improvement effect cannot be expected.

As the solvent for the composition, one or more selected from the group consisting of water, ethanol, glycerin, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol can be used.

In addition, by using the carrier deposited on the non-woven fabric, silica gel or silica as a porous material, or zeolite, cotton, fibrous woven fabric, etc., the storage capacity of the drug is excellent and the stability of the drug is improved and the divergence power is improved. There is an advantage to this. Efficacy can be improved by attaching the thus deposited carrier to a metal plate for charging or by applying insecticide, sterilization, and fragrance directly to the metal plate for charging. In addition, an adhesive sheet may be used to effectively block the fine dust component emitted from the exhaust port of the vacuum cleaner.

These shapes may be deposited in the shape of needles, rods, sheets, or the like to be easily inhaled by a vacuum cleaner, or the composition may be adsorbed into fine pores such as silica or zeolite, and then made into round particles or the like. In some cases, it is advantageous in that it is made in the form of a sheet and attached to the exhaust port of the vacuum cleaner to simultaneously obtain the effect of preventing the re-emission of fine dust and mites and the perfume effect.
