Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a medicinal hot water generating device that generates medicinal hot water by fermenting required medicinal plants and adding the fermented medicinal plants to hot water.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

In general, well-known medicinal baths include mustard bath, sulfur bath, rice bran bath, aromatic bath, and tide bath.

By the way, the above-mentioned aromatic bath, which is extremely suitable for beauty and health, is made by directly adding fresh medicinal plants such as sycamore, mugwort, perilla, shiobu, yuzu, daidai, or lemon into hot water. It is said to be generated.

However, the upper air aroma bath, which is a type of medicinal bath, is produced by directly adding fresh natural medicinal plants to the bath, so while it is extremely easy to generate a natural aroma bath, Since medicinal plants are used in a fresh state, they are highly susceptible to deterioration. Therefore, the use of medicinal plants has been limited to temporary use, and long-term use has been impossible and extremely uneconomical. Moreover, since the medicinal plants are directly added to the hot water, not only does it look bad, but post-treatment after use is extremely troublesome.

This invention not only solves the conventional problems at once, but also allows medicinal plants to be fermented, kept warm, and added to hot water as appropriate, and to produce natural medicinal hot water over a relatively long period of time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a medicinal hot water generating device that can significantly expand the demand for lemons as a new use, and which can also help in measures for liberalizing agricultural products.

[Means for solving problems]

That is, the present invention provides a plug 7 that can be freely inserted into hot water.
A fermentation tank 8 and an introduction pipe 9 with a float valve 10 are connected and removably provided at the lower end of the cap body 1.
A necessary heat retaining device 12 is detachably provided at the lower end, and the heat retaining device 12 has a heater 15 corresponding to the upper air fermentation tank 8 and a steam tray 17 corresponding to the introduction pipe 9. It consists of a set of configurations.

[Effect]

A fermentation tank 8 filled with required medicinal plants and an introduction pipe 9 are respectively set in the cap 1, and a heat retaining device 12 is attached to the lower ends of the fermentation tank 8 and introduction pipe 9. Then, while the fermentation tank 8 is heated and kept warm by the heater 15 for fermentation, the steam generated by the fermentation action is guided to the introduction pipe 9 to be turned into cooling water droplets and stored in the evaporation tray 17. When the fermentation of the medicinal plants is completed, the heat retaining device 12 is removed as necessary, and the hot water is poured into the fermentation tank 8 through the introduction pipe 9 by appropriately putting it into hot water, and the fermentation is gradually carried out using the hot water as a medium. The liquid overflows and diffuses into the hot water to produce medicinal hot water.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a substantially rectangular cap body, 2 a hanging piece screwed onto the outer surface of one side wall of the cap body 1, 3 and 4 large and small diameter screw holes formed on the lower surface of the cap body 1, and 5
6 is an opening formed in the side wall of the small diameter screw hole 4, and 7 is a plug detachably attached to the opening 6. . 8 is a bottomed cylindrical fermentation tank that can be screwed into the large-diameter screw hole 3, 9 is a short introduction pipe that can be screwed into the small-diameter screw hole 4, and 10 is inside the introduction pipe 9. This is a float valve that is loosely mounted on the lower end of the valve via a valve seat 11. 12 is a heat retaining device equipped with large and small pits 13 and 14 on the upper surface to fit into the lower end of the fermentation tank 8 and the introduction pipe 9; 15 is a heater with a temperature control built in the large pit 13; 16, 1
7 is a water collection plate and an evaporation plate built into the small pit 14. In addition, 18 indicates a bathtub, and A indicates a lemon.

In the embodiment constructed as described above, half-cut lemon A is filled into the fermentation tank 8 together with necessary fermentation bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria, and then the fermentation tank 8 is screwed into the large diameter screw hole 3 of the cap body 1. At the same time, the introduction pipe 9 is screwed into the small diameter screw hole 4. After that, the lower ends of the fermentation tank 8 and the introduction pipe 9 are fitted into the large and small pits 13 and 14 of the heat retaining device 12, respectively, and the heater 15
is heated to a predetermined temperature and maintained (see Fig. 6). Then, the lemon A in the fermentation tank 8 is heated and maintained, and fermentation starts due to the action of fermentation bacteria. Steam generated by the fermentation is introduced into the introduction pipe 9 through the communication path 5, gradually cooled and turned into water droplets, which are stored in the evaporating dish 17 via the water collecting plate 16. When the fermentation of Lemon A is completed, the fermentation tank 8 and the introduction pipe 9 are removed from the heat retaining device 12. Then, the fermentation tank 8 and the lower part of the introduction pipe 9 are immersed in hot water, and the hooking piece 2 is hooked to the upper edge of the bathtub 18 before taking a bath (see FIG. 7). As the person takes a bath, the water level in the bathtub 18 gradually rises, and hot water flows from the introduction pipe 9 through the communication path 5 into the fermentation tank 8, so that the fermentation tank 8 and the bathtub 18 are communicated through the hot water. Then, the fermented liquid in the fermentation tank 8 gradually overflows into the bathtub 18 through the introduction pipe 9 using hot water as a medium and diffuses into the hot water to produce a lemon bath.

When the bath is finished, the fermentation tank 8 and the introduction pipe 9 are removed from the bathtub 18, and placed again in the heat-retaining device 12 to keep them warm. At this time, lemon A in fermenter 8
Since the heat retaining device 12 is maintained at a constant temperature, excessive fermentation can be suppressed and a suitable fermented liquid can always be produced.

Thereafter, the same operation is performed to generate a lemon bath over a long period of time.

In addition, the medicinal hot water generating device according to the present invention can be applied to other known medicinal plants such as lemon, artemisia, artemisia, and soybean.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the fermentation tank 8 is filled with necessary medicinal plants such as lemon A in a fresh state, heated and kept warm by the heat retention device 12, and vapor generated through the introduction pipe 9 is removed. The fermented liquid of the medicinal plant can be properly fermented while being properly fermented, and the fermented liquid of the medicinal plant can be gradually overflowed and diffused into the hot water via the introduction pipe 9 by pouring it into the hot water as needed. Natural medicinal hot water can be easily produced over a relatively long period of time. In particular, the device according to the present invention is suitable for producing lemon bath, and can significantly expand demand as a new use for lemons, and can be highly evaluated from an agricultural policy standpoint. It is something.
