Description

향기나는 목재패널{ aromatic wood panel}Aromatic wood panel {aromatic wood panel}

본 발명은 향기나는 목재패널에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 천연성분으로 표면처리되어 지속적인 향기가 나면서도 은은하고 자연스러운 광택을 가지는 새로운 구성의 향기나는 목재패널에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a fragrant wood panel, and more particularly, to a fragrant wood panel of a new configuration having a soft and natural luster while surface treatment with a natural component has a persistent fragrance.

흔히, 가구용 패널은 장식성과 제품성 등을 높이기 위해 니스 등과 같은 화공약품으로 표면처리된다. 그러나 이와 같이 화공약품으로 표면처리된 패널은 고광택이 부여되기는 하나 표면처리시 사용된 화공약품에 의해 소정기간 동안은 불쾌한 냄새가 나거나 눈에 통증이 유발되기도 한다.Frequently, furniture panels are surface-treated with chemicals such as varnishes to enhance decorativeness and productability. However, although the panel treated with the chemicals is given high gloss, the chemicals used during the surface treatment may cause an unpleasant smell or pain in the eyes for a predetermined period of time.

한편, 최근에는 산업발달과 더불어 각 분야별 제품들이 거의 일률적으로 심플하면서도 인공적인 미가 느껴지도록 디자인되는 경향이 있다. 따라서 이러한 것에 식상한 일부 소비자들은 좀 더 자연친화적이며, 자연미를 느낄 수 있는 제품을 선호하기도 한다.On the other hand, in recent years, along with industrial development, products in each field tend to be designed to feel almost simple but artificial beauty. Therefore, some consumers who are sick of this tend to prefer products that are more natural-friendly and feel natural.

또, 향은 그 특성에 따라 사람의 감정을 안정시키기도 하고 흥분시키기도 하는데, 이러한 원리를 이용해 여러 가지 신경질환이나 정신질환을 치료하는 향치료법이 개발되기도 하였다. 따라서, 쾌적한 환경을 유지하여 정서적인 안정을 꾀하며 또한, 담배냄새나 음식냄새 등의 생활악취를 제거하고 실내공기 청향을 위하여 가정이나 사무실 등에 별도의 방향제품을 구비해 두는 경우가 늘고 있다. 한편, 이러한 방향제품은 거의 대부분이 인공향으로 제조되는데, 인공향은 천연향과는 달리 향이 강하고 약품냄새가 나기도 하므로 오히려 두통 등이 유발되기도 한다.In addition, incense may stabilize or excite a person's feelings according to its characteristics, and incense therapy has been developed to treat various neurological and mental diseases using this principle. Therefore, there are increasing cases of maintaining a pleasant environment to achieve emotional stability and to provide a separate fragrance product for home or office to remove indoor odor such as cigarette smell or food odor and to air indoor air. On the other hand, most of these fragrance products are manufactured with artificial fragrance, which is different from natural fragrances, because the fragrance is strong and has a chemical smell, which may cause headaches.

본 발명은 상기의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로서, 본 발명의 목적은 식물에서 추출된 천연향과 대두유로 이루어진 천연처리제로 표면처리되어 사용시 지속적인 향기를 발하면서도 은은하고 자연스러운 광택으로 전통적이며 고풍스러운 자연미를 가지는 새로운 구성의 향기나는 목재패널을 제공하는 것이다.The present invention is to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is a surface treatment with a natural treatment agent consisting of a natural flavor and soybean oil extracted from plants, while giving a continuous fragrance when using a traditional and antique natural beauty with a soft and natural luster It is to provide a fragrant wood panel of new composition.

본 발명에 따르면, 가구나 실내마감재 등으로 사용되는 목재패널에 있어서, 상기 패널의 적어도 일측면은 식물에서 추출된 천연향성분을 연질의 피막으로 캡슐화시킨 향캡슐과, 대두에서 추출된 대두유를 혼합하여 이루어진 천연처리제로 표면처리되어, 방향기능과 광택이 부여된 것을 특징으로 하는 향기나는 목재패널이 제공된다.According to the present invention, in a wooden panel used as furniture or interior finishing materials, at least one side of the panel is a mixture of flavor capsules encapsulated with a soft film of the natural flavor components extracted from plants, and soybean oil extracted from soybean Surface-treated with a natural treatment agent made, there is provided a fragrant wood panel, characterized in that the aromatic function and gloss is given.

본 발명의 다른 특징에 따르면, 상기 천연처리제는 향캡슐이 20~50중량부, 대두유가 50~80중량부로 혼합되어 이루어진 것을 특징으로 하는 향기나는 목재패널이 제공된다.According to another feature of the present invention, the natural treatment agent is provided with a fragrant wood panel, characterized in that the flavor capsule is made by mixing 20 to 50 parts by weight, soybean oil 50 to 80 parts by weight.

이하, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 첨부한 도면에 의거하여 설명하면 다음과 같다. 도 1은 본 발명이 장롱(10), 특히, 장롱(10)의 좌우패널(12)이나 도어(14), 또는 서랍의 전면판(16) 등에 적용된 것으로, 상기 패널(12,14,16)은 향캡슐과 대두유가 혼합되어 이루어진 천연처리제로 표면처리된다.Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is applied to the cabinet 10, in particular, the left and right panels 12, the door 14 of the cabinet 10, or the front plate 16 of the drawer, etc., the panels 12, 14, 16 It is surface treated with a natural treatment agent made of silver flavor capsule and soybean oil mixed.

상기 향캡슐은 식물에서 추출된 천연향성분을 연질의 피막으로 캡슐화시킨 것으로, 천연향성분으로는 장미향이나 오렌지향, 아카시아향 등 다양한 종류의 것이 사용된다. 이러한 캡슐화된 천연향성분, 즉, 향캡슐을 사용하면 캡슐이 터지면서 비로소 향기가 발하게 되는데, 장롱(10)의 사용시 자연스러운 접촉에 의해 캡슐이 임의적으로 터짐에 따라 지속적으로 향기가 발하게 된다. 이러한 향캡슐은 대두에서 추출된 상기 대두유에 의해 패널(12,14,16)의 표면에 부착되는데, 이 대두유에 의해 패널(12,14,16)의 표면에 광택과 발수성도 부여된다. 이때 대두유에 의해서는 종래의 니스 등에 의한 광택과는 달리 은은하고 자연스러운 광택이 부여되므로 종래와는 달리 자연스럽고 고풍스러운 분위기가 연출된다.The flavor capsule is to encapsulate the natural flavor component extracted from the plant into a soft film, and various kinds of natural flavor components such as rose flavor, orange flavor, acacia flavor are used. When the encapsulated natural fragrance component, that is, the flavor capsule is used, the fragrance is finally released as the capsule bursts, and the fragrance is continuously emitted as the capsule is arbitrarily burst by natural contact when using the drawer 10. These flavor capsules are attached to the surface of the panels 12, 14 and 16 by the soybean oil extracted from the soybean, which also gives gloss and water repellency to the surfaces of the panels 12, 14 and 16. In this case, the soybean oil is provided with a soft and natural gloss, unlike the gloss of the conventional varnish, etc., thus creating a natural and antique atmosphere unlike the conventional.

상기 천연처리제는 향캡슐과 대두유가 각각 20~50중량부, 50~80중량부로 혼합되어 이루어진다. 이때 향캡슐의 혼합량이 상기 수준 이하인 경우에는 상대적으로 대두유의 혼합량이 많아지므로 향캡슐의 패널에 대한 부착성은 증가될 것이나, 발향효과가 저하된다. 그리고 향캡슐의 혼합량이 상기 수준 이상인 경우에는 방향효과는 증대될 것이나 상대적으로 대두유의 혼합량이 적어지므로 향캡슐의 패널(12,14,16)에 대한 부착성이 저하되므로 향캡슐이 패널(12,14,16)의 표면에서 탈리될 우려가 있다.The natural treatment agent is made of 20 to 50 parts by weight, 50 to 80 parts by weight of flavor capsules and soybean oil, respectively. At this time, if the mixing amount of the flavor capsule is less than the above level, since the mixing amount of the soybean oil is relatively increased, the adhesion of the flavor capsule to the panel will be increased, but the fragrance effect is lowered. When the amount of flavor capsules is more than the above level, the fragrance effect will be increased, but since the amount of soybean oil is relatively reduced, the adhesion of the flavor capsules to the panels 12, 14, and 16 will be reduced. 14, 16) may be detached from the surface.

이러한 혼합물을 이용해 본 발명은 다음과 같은 방법으로 제조된다. 먼저, 향캡슐과 대두유를 혼합하여 천연처리제를 만든다. 그리고 전처리과정을 통해 표면이 매끄럽게 연마되거나 표면에 묻은 이물질 등이 제거된 패널(12,14,16)의 표면에 상기 천연처리제를 스프레이하거나 붓 등으로 도포한 후 건조시킨다. 이어서 패널(12,14,16)의 표면을 마른 수건 등으로 닦는데, 이와 같이 하면 대두유에 의해 패널(12,14,16)의 표면에 은은하고 자연스러운 광택이 부여된다. 그리고 이와 같이 처리된 패널(12,14,16)로 제조된 장롱(10)을 사용하는 중에 자연스러운 접촉에 의해 향캡슐이 터지면 비로소 천연향성분이 공기와 접촉되면서 향기가 발하게 된다.Using this mixture, the present invention is prepared by the following method. First, the flavor capsules and soybean oil are mixed to make a natural treatment agent. In addition, the natural treatment agent is sprayed or brushed on the surface of the panels 12, 14, and 16 on which the surface is smoothly polished or foreign matters on the surface are removed through a pretreatment process, and then dried. Subsequently, the surfaces of the panels 12, 14 and 16 are wiped with a dry towel or the like, so that soybean oil gives a soft and natural luster to the surfaces of the panels 12, 14 and 16. And when the fragrance capsule is burst by natural contact while using the cabinet 10 manufactured by the panels 12, 14, and 16 treated as described above, the natural fragrance component comes into contact with the air and the fragrance is emitted.

본 발명은 이상에서 설명한 바와 같은, 가구용 패널 뿐만 아니라 도 2에 도시된 걸레받이(20)와 같은 실내 마감재나 기타 등의 다양한 용도의 목재패널에 적용될 수 있다.As described above, the present invention can be applied not only to furniture panels but also to wood panels for various uses such as interior finishing materials such as the baseboard 20 shown in FIG. 2 or the like.

이상에서와 같이 본 발명에 의하면, 식물에서 추출된 천연향과 대두유로 이루어진 천연처리제로 표면처리되어 사용시 지속적인 향기를 발하면서도 은은하고 자연스러운 광택으로 전통적이며 고풍스러운 자연미를 가지는 새로운 구성의 목재패널이 제공된다. 이러한 본 발명에 의한 패널은 사용 중에 캡슐이 터짐에 따라 향기가 발하게 되므로 사용시 지속적이 방향효과를 얻을 수 있으므로 별도의 방향제를 구비할 필요가 없으며, 종래의 니스 등으로 표면처리된 제품과는 달리 대두유에 의해 자연스럽고 은은한 광택이 부여된다. 또한 본 발명에 의한 패널은 천연성분으로 처리되어 어린이들이 빨거나 만져도 무해하다.As described above, according to the present invention, a surface treatment with a natural treatment agent consisting of a natural fragrance and soybean oil extracted from a plant provides a new composition of wood panels having a traditional and antique natural beauty with a soft and natural luster while giving a continuous fragrance. . Since the panel according to the present invention is a fragrance emanating as the capsule bursts during use, there is no need to provide a separate fragrance because the fragrance can be continuously obtained during use, unlike conventional products such as soybean oil surface treatment It gives a natural and soft luster. In addition, the panel according to the present invention is treated with natural ingredients and is harmless to children to wash or touch.
