Description

동물 배변처리용 혼합물Mixture for animal waste disposal
본 개시는 동물 배변처리용 혼합물에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 배설물을 흡수하거나 배설물이 혼입된 뒤에도 배변 용기 바닥에 달라붙지 않는 혼합물에 관한 것이다.The present disclosure relates to a mixture for treating animal feces, and more specifically, to a mixture that absorbs feces or does not stick to the bottom of a feces container even after being mixed with feces.
최근 반려동물을 기르는 인구가 증가함에 따라, 동물 용품과 연관된 산업의 규모도 점차 증가하고 있다. 그 중에서도 동물 배설물을 처리하기 위한 용품은 동물을 기르는 데 있어 필수적이다. 특히, 동물이 배변 모래에 배설하도록 하고, 배변 모래에 배설물이 혼입된 뒤 배설물과 함께 배변 모래를 폐기하는 방식이 널리 사용되고 있다.Recently, as the number of people raising companion animals increases, the size of the industry related to animal products is also gradually increasing. Among them, supplies for disposing of animal waste are essential for raising animals. In particular, a method of having an animal defecate in the feces sand, mix the feces with the feces sand, and then dispose of the feces sand together with the feces is widely used.
하지만 기존 배변 모래는 배설물을 흡수하는 경우, 배변 모래를 수용하는 배변 용기 바닥에 달라붙어 배변 용기의 청소를 번거롭게 하며, 쉽게 부서지는 특성에 따라 동물의 배변 전후로 분진이 발생되기 쉬워 보호자와 동물의 안구 또는 호흡기를 자극하는 문제가 있었다. 또한 배변 용기의 청소 후에도 배변 용기 내에 배설물과 배면 모래가 결합한 찌꺼기가 잔존하여 배변 용기 내 환경이 비위생적일 수 있다.However, when existing fecal sand absorbs feces, it sticks to the bottom of the feces container containing the feces sand, making cleaning the feces container cumbersome, and due to its easily brittle nature, dust is easily generated before and after the animal defecates, which can damage the eyes of the guardian and the animal. Or, there was a problem that irritated the respiratory tract. In addition, even after cleaning the defecation container, residue combining excrement and back sand may remain in the defecation container, making the environment inside the defecation container unsanitary.

도 1은 배변 용기(110) 및 배변 용기 내에 수용된 혼합물(120)을 나타내는 도면이다. 배변 용기(110)는 혼합물(120)이 적재되도록 구성될 수 있다. 또한, 배변 용기(110) 내부로 동물(100)이 인입하거나, 내부 또는 외부에서 동물(100)이 용이하게 배변 할 수 있도록, 배변 용기(110)의 상부는 개구된 형상을 가질 수 있다. 배변 용기(110)는 스테인리스(stainless)와 같은 금속 또는 플라스틱 재질로 제작될 수 있다.1 is a diagram showing a defecation container 110 and a mixture 120 contained in the defecation container. The defecation container 110 may be configured to load the mixture 120. Additionally, the upper portion of the defecation container 110 may have an open shape so that the animal 100 can enter the defecation container 110 or the animal 100 can easily defecate inside or outside the defecation container 110 . The defecation container 110 may be made of metal or plastic material such as stainless steel.
배변 용기(110)에 수용되는 혼합물(120)은 응고형 입자, 그리고 식물성 분말 및/또는 비식물성 분말을 포함할 수 있다. 응고형 입자는 동물(100)의 배설물과 혼합되었을 때, 배설물과 함께 응집될 수 있다. 응고형 입자는 배설물에 포함된 액체를 흡수하여 입자들이 응집하고, 시간이 지나면 응집된 입자들이 경화되어 덩어리를 형성하는 성질을 가진다. 이러한 구성을 통해, 보호자는 배설물을 용이하게 처리할 수 있다. The mixture 120 accommodated in the defecation container 110 may include solidified particles, and vegetable powder and/or non-vegetable powder. When the coagulated particles are mixed with the excrement of the animal 100, they may aggregate together with the excrement. Solidified particles have the property of absorbing liquid contained in feces, causing the particles to aggregate, and over time, the aggregated particles harden to form a lump. Through this configuration, the guardian can easily dispose of excrement.
예컨대, 응고형 입자는 벤토나이트(bentonite) 입자, 두부 입자, 옥수수 입자 또는 카사바(cassava) 입자에 해당할 수 있다. 두부 입자는 두부 제조 과정에서의 부산물을 이용하여 제조된 입자, 옥수수 입자는 옥수수 성분으로 제조된 입자, 카사바 입자는 카사바 성분으로 제조된 입자를 지칭할 수 있다.For example, the solidified particles may correspond to bentonite particles, tofu particles, corn particles, or cassava particles. Tofu particles may refer to particles manufactured using by-products from the tofu manufacturing process, corn particles may refer to particles manufactured using corn ingredients, and cassava particles may refer to particles manufactured using cassava ingredients.
응고형 입자의 직경은 벤토나이트 입자의 경우 0.8mm ~ 2.5mm, 두부 입자의 경우 1.5mm ~ 3mm, 옥수수 입자의 경우 0.5mm ~ 4.0mm, 카사바 입자의 경우 1mm ~ 4mm인 것이 바람직하다.The diameter of the coagulated particles is preferably 0.8 mm to 2.5 mm for bentonite particles, 1.5 mm to 3 mm for tofu particles, 0.5 mm to 4.0 mm for corn particles, and 1 mm to 4 mm for cassava particles.
식물성 분말 또는 비식물성 분말은 수분을 다량 함유하는 물질(예를 들어, 배설물)과 쉽게 결합하지 않거나 분말 내부가 쉽게 침습되지 않도록, 응고형 입자에 비해 낮은 친수성 내지 소수성을 가지는 물질일 수 있다. 식물성 분말 또는 비식물성 분말은 배설물 내 수분이 응고형 입자에만 머무르게 할 수 있다. 식물성 분말 또는 비식물성 분말은 배설물 내 수분이 응고형 입자에만 머무르게 하여, 응고형 입자가 배설물에 의해 응고되더라도 응고형 입자 덩어리가 배변 용기(110)에 달라붙지 않을 수 있다. 비식물성 분말은 응고형 입자가 배변 용기(110) 바닥에 달라붙지 않도록 배변 용기(110)와 응고형 입자를 분리하는 역할을 수행할 수 있다. 즉, 응고형 입자와 배설물이 혼합되어 응집되더라도 응고형 입자 덩어리가 비식물성 분말에 의해 배변 용기(110)에 달라붙지 않을 수 있다. 이러한 구성을 통해, 동물(100) 보호자는 배설물 처리 및 배변 용기(110) 청소를 용이하게 할 수 있다.Vegetable powder or non-vegetable powder may be a material that has lower hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity than solidified particles so that it does not easily combine with substances containing a large amount of moisture (e.g., excrement) or the inside of the powder is not easily invaded. Plant-based or non-vegetable powders can cause moisture in feces to remain only in the coagulated particles. Vegetable powder or non-vegetable powder allows the moisture in the feces to stay only in the solidified particles, so even if the solidified particles are coagulated by the feces, the lump of solidified particles may not stick to the defecation container 110. The non-vegetable powder may serve to separate the defecation container 110 and the solidified particles so that the solidified particles do not stick to the bottom of the defecation container 110. That is, even if the solidified particles and excrement are mixed and aggregated, the solidified particle lump may not stick to the defecation container 110 due to the non-vegetable powder. Through this configuration, the guardian of the animal 100 can easily dispose of excrement and clean the excrement container 110.
식물성 분말은 응고형 입자에 비해, 친수성은 낮고, 직경이 작고, 경도가 큰 물리적 특성을 가질 수 있다. 식물성 분말은 낮은 친수성으로 인해 물과 반응하지 않을 뿐만 아니라, 물을 흡수하지 않을 수 있다.Compared to solidified particles, vegetable powders may have physical properties such as low hydrophilicity, small diameter, and high hardness. Vegetable powder not only does not react with water due to its low hydrophilicity, but may not absorb water.
식물성 분말은 응고형 입자에 비해 직경이 작아, 응고형 입자와 혼합되었을 때 배변 용기(110)의 바닥으로 가라앉아 레이어(layer)를 형성할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 배변 용기(110)의 바닥에 접하는 레이어에는 식물성 분말이 높은 비율로 존재하고, 혼합물(120)이 위로 쌓일수록 식물성 분말보다 직경이 큰 응고형 입자가 높은 비율로 존재할 수 있다. 이러한 구성을 통해, 식물성 분말은 응고형 입자가 배변 용기(110) 바닥에 달라붙지 않도록 배변 용기(110)와 응고형 입자를 분리하는 역할을 수행할 수 있다. 배변 용기에 수용된 혼합물의 레이어 형성 효과는 도 4를 참고한다.Vegetable powder has a smaller diameter than the solidified particles, so when mixed with the solidified particles, it may sink to the bottom of the defecation container 110 to form a layer. For example, a high proportion of vegetable powder may be present in the layer in contact with the bottom of the defecation container 110, and as the mixture 120 is piled upward, solidified particles with a larger diameter than the vegetable powder may be present at a high proportion. Through this configuration, the vegetable powder can serve to separate the defecation container 110 and the solidified particles so that the solidified particles do not stick to the bottom of the defecation container 110. Refer to Figure 4 for the layer formation effect of the mixture contained in the defecation container.
일 실시예에 따르면, 용기에 수용된 모든 식물성 분말의 직경이 응고형 입자보다 작을 필요는 없다. 일부 응고형 입자의 직경이 식물성 분말의 직경보다 작을 경우에도 앞서 설명한 식물성 분말의 레이어 형성 효과를 충분히 가져올 수 있다.According to one embodiment, the diameter of all vegetable powders contained in the container need not be smaller than the agglomerated particles. Even if the diameter of some solidified particles is smaller than the diameter of the vegetable powder, the layer forming effect of the vegetable powder described above can be sufficiently achieved.
구체적으로, 식물성 분말의 직경이 0.18mm 보다 작은 경우 식물성 분말에 의한 분진이 발생하여 동물(100) 및 보호자의 안구, 호흡기 등을 자극할 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 혼합물(120)의 제조 공정 중 분진 제거 단계에서 식물성 분말이 분진과 함께 제거될 수 있다. 또한, 식물성 분말의 직경이 0.8mm 보다 클 경우 배변 용기(110)의 바닥으로 가라앉지 못해 레이어가 형성되기 어려울 수 있다. 따라서, 식물성 분말의 직경은 0.18mm ~ 0.8mm인 것이 바람직하다. 레이어 형성 효과를 극대화하기 위해, 식물성 분말의 직경은 0.285mm ~ 0.425mm인 것이 더 바람직하다. Specifically, if the diameter of the vegetable powder is smaller than 0.18 mm, dust caused by the vegetable powder may be generated and irritate the eyes, respiratory tract, etc. of the animal (100) and the guardian. In addition, vegetable powder may be removed along with dust during the dust removal step during the manufacturing process of the mixture 120. Additionally, if the diameter of the vegetable powder is larger than 0.8 mm, it may be difficult to form a layer because it may not sink to the bottom of the defecation container 110. Therefore, it is preferable that the diameter of the vegetable powder is 0.18mm to 0.8mm. In order to maximize the layer forming effect, it is more preferable that the diameter of the vegetable powder is 0.285mm to 0.425mm.
식물성 분말의 위와 같은 물리적 특성으로 인하여, 보호자가 배변 용기(110)로 혼합물을 새로 붓거나, 동물(100)이 배변 용기(110) 내의 혼합물(120)을 파헤치고 청소하는 과정에서 레이어가 형성될 수 있다.Due to the above physical properties of the vegetable powder, a layer may be formed in the process of the guardian pouring the mixture into the defecation container 110 or the animal 100 digging and cleaning the mixture 120 in the defecation container 110. You can.
일 실시예에서, 식물성 분말은 호두 껍질을 분쇄하여 제조된 호두 껍질 분말일 수 있다. 이러한 구성을 통해, 설령 동물이 이를 섭취하더라도 동물에게 무해할 수 있다.In one embodiment, the vegetable powder may be walnut shell powder prepared by grinding walnut shells. With this composition, it can be harmless to animals even if they consume it.
식물성 분말의 경도(Moh)는 2.5 이상에 해당할 수 있다. 다른 실시예에서, 식물성 분말은 연마재(예를 들어, 호두 껍질 분말) 성분으로 제조된 것일 수 있다. 연마재는 경도가 높고 내마모성이 강해 사용 중 마모로 인한 분진이 쉽게 발생하지 않으므로, 동물(100) 및 보호자의 안구 또는 호흡기를 보호할 수 있다. 나아가 연마재는 응고형 입자 덩어리를 용기로부터 쉽게 분리할 수 있도록 한다.The hardness (Moh) of vegetable powder may be 2.5 or more. In another embodiment, the vegetable powder may be made from an abrasive (e.g., walnut shell powder) component. The abrasive has high hardness and strong wear resistance, so dust is not easily generated due to wear during use, so it can protect the eyes or respiratory tract of the animal (100) and the guardian. Furthermore, the abrasive material allows the solidified particle mass to be easily separated from the container.
혼합물(120) 제조 시 응고형 입자와 식물성 분말은 적절한 부피 비율로 혼합될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 식물성 분말은 혼합물의 3 부피% ~ 20 부피%로 혼합될 수 있다. 더 바람직하게는, 식물성 분말은 혼합물의 7 부피% 내외로 혼합될 수 있다.When preparing the mixture 120, the coagulated particles and vegetable powder may be mixed at an appropriate volume ratio. For example, vegetable powder can be mixed at 3% to 20% by volume of the mixture. More preferably, the vegetable powder may be mixed in approximately 7% by volume of the mixture.
혼합물(120)은 식물성 분말이 별도 포장된 포장 키트의 형태로 유통될 수 있다. 레이어 형성이 용이한 혼합물(120)의 특성으로 인해, 사용 단계에서 비로소 응고형 입자와 식물성 분말이 혼합되더라도 레이어가 용이하게 형성되어 본 개시의 목적 및 효과를 달성할 수 있다.The mixture 120 may be distributed in the form of a packaging kit in which the vegetable powder is separately packaged. Due to the characteristics of the mixture 120 that allows easy layer formation, even if the solidified particles and vegetable powder are mixed only in the use stage, the layer can be easily formed to achieve the purpose and effect of the present disclosure.
비식물성 분말은 응고형 입자에 비해, 직경이 작고, 비중은 높으며, 경도가 큰 물리적 특성을 가질 수 있다. 일 실시예에 따르면 비식물성 분말은 직경, 비중, 경도와 관련한 물리적 특성들 중 적어도 하나 이상을 만족하면 상술한 효과를 상승시킬 수 있다(표 1 참고).Non-vegetable powders may have physical properties such as small diameter, high specific gravity, and high hardness compared to solidified particles. According to one embodiment, non-vegetable powder can increase the above-mentioned effect if it satisfies at least one of the physical properties related to diameter, specific gravity, and hardness (see Table 1).
일 실시예에 따르면, 비식물성 분말의 직경은 0.2mm ~ 0.8mm인 것이 바람직하다. 더욱 바람직하게는, 비식물성 분말의 직경은 0.3mm ~ 0.6mm에 해당할 수 있다. 구체적으로, 비식물성 분말의 직경이 0.2mm 보다 작은 경우 비식물성 분말에 의한 분진이 발생하여 동물 및 보호자의 안구, 호흡기 등을 자극할 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 혼합물의 제조 공정 중 분진 제거 단계에서 비식물성 분말이 분진과 함께 제거될 수 있다. 나아가, 혼합물 유통 과정 중 비식물성 분말이 포장 바닥에 깔리게 되어, 혼합물을 배변 용기에 깔 때 비식물성 분말이 고르게 섞여 있지 않아 원하는 효과를 기대할 수 없다(도 5 참고).According to one embodiment, the diameter of the non-vegetable powder is preferably 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm. More preferably, the diameter of the non-vegetable powder may correspond to 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm. Specifically, if the diameter of the non-vegetable powder is smaller than 0.2 mm, dust generated by the non-vegetable powder may irritate the eyes and respiratory tract of the animal and its guardian. In addition, non-vegetable powders may be removed along with the dust during the dust removal step during the mixture manufacturing process. Furthermore, during the distribution of the mixture, the non-vegetable powder is spread on the bottom of the package, and the desired effect cannot be expected because the non-vegetable powder is not evenly mixed when the mixture is spread on the excrement container (see Figure 5).
도 2는 배변 용기에 응고형 입자(벤토나이트 입자)만 넣고 물을 따른 결과를 나타내는 도면이다. 도 3은 본 개시의 일 실시예에 따라 배변 용기에 응고형 입자(벤토나이트 입자) 및 식물성 분말(호두 껍질 분말)를 넣고 물을 따른 결과를 나타내는 도면이다. 도 2에서는 응고형 입자가 물을 흡수한 뒤 응고하며 배변 용기에 달라붙는 것을 확인할 수 있다(도면부호 210 참고). 반면, 도 3에서는, 응고된 상태의 응고형 입자가 식물성 분말로 인하여 배변 용기에 달라붙지 않고 분리된 덩어리를 확인할 수 있다. 응고형 입자 덩어리(310, 320)는 용기에 달라붙지 않기 때문에 쉽게 뒤집을 수 있으며, 뒤집어진 응고형 입자 덩어리는 도면부호 330과 같다. 응고형 입자 덩어리(330)의 바닥에 식물성 분말이 레이어와 같이 형성되어 응고형 입자 덩어리(330)가 용기 바닥에 달라붙지 않았고, 그에 따라 응고형 입자 덩어리(330)가 쉽게 뒤집어질 수 있었다. 응고형 입자 덩어리(330)가 분리된 뒤에도 식물성 분말로 이루어진 레이어가 유지됨을 확인할 수 있다.Figure 2 is a diagram showing the results of putting only solidified particles (bentonite particles) into a defecation container and pouring water. Figure 3 is a diagram showing the results of putting solidified particles (bentonite particles) and vegetable powder (walnut shell powder) into a bowel movement container and pouring water according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In Figure 2, it can be seen that the coagulated particles absorb water and then coagulate and stick to the defecation container (see reference numeral 210). On the other hand, in Figure 3, it can be seen that the solidified particles do not stick to the excrement container due to the vegetable powder and separate lumps. Since the solidified particle lumps 310 and 320 do not stick to the container, they can be easily turned over, and the overturned solidified particle lump is indicated by reference numeral 330. The vegetable powder was formed like a layer at the bottom of the solidified particle lump 330, so that the solidified particle lump 330 did not stick to the bottom of the container, and as a result, the solidified particle lump 330 could be easily turned over. It can be seen that the layer made of vegetable powder is maintained even after the solidified particle mass 330 is separated.
식물성 분말이 혼합물의 20 부피% 보다 많이 혼합되는 경우, 혼합물의 응고가 충분히 일어나지 않을 수 있고, 혼합물의 3 부피% 보다 적게 혼합되는 경우, 응고형 입자가 배변 용기에 달라붙을 수 있다. 따라서, 식물성 분말은 혼합물의 3 부피% ~ 20 부피%의 비율로 혼합되는 것이 바람직하다.If the vegetable powder is mixed in more than 20 vol% of the mixture, coagulation of the mixture may not occur sufficiently, and if it is mixed in less than 3 vol% of the mixture, coagulated particles may stick to the excrement container. Therefore, it is preferable that the vegetable powder is mixed in a ratio of 3% to 20% by volume of the mixture.
혼합된 응고형 입자 및 식물성 분말에서 분진을 제거할 수 있다. 이 때, 직경이 0.18mm 보다 작은 식물성 분말은 분진과 함께 제거될 수 있다. 응고형 입자 및 식물성 분말을 혼합한 뒤 분진을 제거되거나, 다른 방식으로 분진이 제거될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 응고형 입자의 분진을 먼저 제거한 뒤, 식물성 분말과 혼합될 수 있다. 이 경우, 분진이 제거된 응고형 입자와 식물성 분말을 혼합하는 단계의 주체는 본 개시에 따른 혼합물을 실제로 사용하는 동물 보호자 등일 수 있다.Dust can be removed from mixed coagulated particles and vegetable powder. At this time, vegetable powder with a diameter smaller than 0.18 mm can be removed along with the dust. The dust may be removed after mixing the coagulated particles and vegetable powder, or the dust may be removed in another manner. For example, dust from coagulated particles can be removed first and then mixed with vegetable powder. In this case, the subject of the step of mixing the solidified particles from which dust has been removed and the vegetable powder may be an animal guardian or the like who actually uses the mixture according to the present disclosure.
일 실시예에 따르면 식물성 분말과 응고형 입자가 섞여 있는 혼합물을 포장한 포장 키트가 제공될 수 있다. 다른 실시예에 따르면, 식물성 분말과 응고형 입자가 별개로 별도 포장된 포장 키트가 제공될 수 있다. 다른 실시예에 따르면, 식물성 분말만 포장된 포장 키트가 응고형 입자만 가지고 있는 사용자들에게 제공되어, 사용자가 배변 용기에 있던 응고형 입자에 식물성 분말을 용이하게 첨가할 수 있다.According to one embodiment, a packaging kit packaging a mixture of vegetable powder and coagulated particles may be provided. According to another embodiment, a packaging kit in which the vegetable powder and the coagulated particles are separately packaged may be provided. According to another embodiment, a packaging kit packaging only vegetable powder is provided to users who have only solidified particles, so that the user can easily add the vegetable powder to the solidified particles in the excrement container.
도 5 및 6은 포장 용기에서 배변 용기로 이동하는 비식물성 분말을 나타내는 도면이다.Figures 5 and 6 are diagrams showing non-vegetable powder moving from a packaging container to a waste container.
도 5에 도시된 바와 같이, 포장용기 유통 과정 중 진동으로 인해 응고형 입자와 균일하게 혼합되어 있던 비식물성 분말이 포장 용기 하단으로 모이게 되어, 사용자가 혼합물을 포장 용기로부터 배변 용기로 배출하는 과정에서 응고형 입자만 배출되는 문제가 발생한다. 본 발명은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 것으로, 일 실시예에 따르면, 포장용기 유통 과정 중 진동이 발생하더라도 혼합물 내의 응고형 입자와 비식물성 분말이 적절히 혼합되어 있어, 사용자가 혼합물을 포장 용기로부터 배변 용기로 배출하는 과정에서 응고형 입자와 비식물성 분말이 함께 배출되는 효과를 가진다(도 6 참고).As shown in Figure 5, non-vegetable powder that was uniformly mixed with solidified particles is collected at the bottom of the packaging container due to vibration during the distribution process of the packaging container, and in the process of the user discharging the mixture from the packaging container to the defecation container. A problem occurs in which only solidified particles are emitted. The present invention is intended to solve this problem, and according to one embodiment, even if vibration occurs during the packaging container distribution process, the solidified particles and non-vegetable powder in the mixture are properly mixed, so that the user can transfer the mixture from the packaging container to the defecation container. During the discharge process, solidified particles and non-vegetable powder are discharged together (see Figure 6).
또한, 비식물성 분말의 직경이 0.8mm 보다 클 경우 배변 용기(110)와 응고형 입자를 분리하는 역할을 수행하기 어려워, 응고형 입자가 배변 용기의 바닥에 달라붙는 현상을 방지하기 어려울 수 있다. 즉, 응고형 입자가 비식물성 분말 사이에 위치하게 되어, 응고형 입자가 배변 용기의 바닥에 달라붙는 현상을 방지하기 어려울 수 있다.Additionally, if the diameter of the non-vegetable powder is larger than 0.8 mm, it may be difficult to separate the defecation container 110 from the solidified particles, making it difficult to prevent the solidified particles from sticking to the bottom of the defecation container. In other words, the solidified particles are located between the non-vegetable powders, so it may be difficult to prevent the solidified particles from sticking to the bottom of the defecation container.
일 실시예에 따르면, 비식물성 분말의 비중은 1.3 이상 4.2 이하에 해당할 수 있다. 더욱 바람직하게는, 비식물성 분말의 비중은 2 이상 4 이하에 해당할 수 있다. 구체적으로, 비식물성 분말의 비중이 1.3 미만인 경우, 혼합물의 제조 공정에서 응고형 입자와 비식물성 분말이 고르게 배합되지 않을 수 있다. 또한, 비식물성 분말의 비중이 4.2를 초과하는 경우, 혼합물의 유통 과정에서 비식물성 분말이 혼합물의 아래로 이동함으로써 비식물성 분말이 고르게 분포하지 않아, 혼합물의 성능의 저하가 발생될 수 있다.According to one embodiment, the specific gravity of the non-vegetable powder may be 1.3 or more and 4.2 or less. More preferably, the specific gravity of the non-vegetable powder may be 2 or more and 4 or less. Specifically, if the specific gravity of the non-vegetable powder is less than 1.3, the solidified particles and the non-vegetable powder may not be evenly mixed during the mixture manufacturing process. Additionally, if the specific gravity of the non-vegetable powder exceeds 4.2, the non-vegetable powder may move downward in the mixture during distribution of the mixture, causing the non-vegetable powder to be unevenly distributed, resulting in a decrease in the performance of the mixture.
비식물성 분말의 비중 및 직경에 따른 특성은 아래 표 1에서 확인할 수 있다.The characteristics of non-vegetable powder according to specific gravity and diameter can be found in Table 1 below.

비식물성 분말의 경도(Moh)는 3.5 이상 8 이하에 해당할 수 있다. 더욱 바람직하게는, 비식물성 분말의 경도는 5 이상 7 이하에 해당할 수 있다. 이와 같은 경도의 비식물성 분말을 이용할 경우, 응고형 입자 덩어리를 용기로부터 보다 쉽게 분리할 수 있도록 한다.The hardness (Moh) of non-vegetable powder may be 3.5 or more and 8 or less. More preferably, the hardness of the non-vegetable powder may be 5 or more and 7 or less. When using a non-vegetable powder of such hardness, the solidified particle mass can be more easily separated from the container.
비식물성 분말의 경도가 3.5 이하에 해당할 경우 응고형 입자와의 충돌로 파괴되어 분진이 발생할 수 있다. 반대로 비식물성 분말의 경도가 8 이상에 해당할 경우 응고형 입자와 충돌하여 응고형 입자를 파괴하여 분진을 발생시킬 수 있다.If the hardness of the non-vegetable powder is 3.5 or less, it may be destroyed by collision with solidified particles and generate dust. Conversely, if the hardness of the non-vegetable powder is 8 or higher, it may collide with the solidified particles, destroying the solidified particles and generating dust.

일 실시예에 따르면, 비식물성 분말은 글라스 비드로서 인체 및 동물에게 무해하며, 혼합물 제조 공정 중 분진 제거가 용이할 수 있다.According to one embodiment, the non-vegetable powder is a glass bead that is harmless to humans and animals, and dust can be easily removed during the mixture manufacturing process.
일 실시예에 따르면, 혼합물(120) 제조 시 응고형 입자와 비식물성 분말은 적절한 부피 비율로 혼합될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 비식물성 분말은 혼합물의 3 부피% ~ 20 부피%로 혼합될 수 있다. 더 바람직하게는, 비식물성 분말은 혼합물의 5 부피% ~ 10 부피%로 혼합될 수 있다. 비식물성 분말이 혼합물의 20 부피% 보다 많이 혼합되는 경우, 혼합물의 응고가 충분히 일어나지 않을 수 있고, 혼합물의 3 부피% 보다 적게 혼합되는 경우, 응고형 입자가 배변 용기에 달라붙을 수 있다. 따라서, 비식물성 분말은 혼합물의 3 부피% ~ 20 부피%의 비율로 혼합되는 것이 바람직하다.According to one embodiment, when preparing the mixture 120, solidified particles and non-vegetable powder may be mixed at an appropriate volume ratio. For example, non-vegetable powders can be mixed at 3% to 20% by volume of the mixture. More preferably, the non-vegetable powder may be mixed at 5% to 10% by volume of the mixture. If the non-vegetable powder is mixed in more than 20 vol% of the mixture, coagulation of the mixture may not occur sufficiently, and if it is mixed in less than 3 vol% of the mixture, coagulated particles may stick to the excrement container. Therefore, it is preferable that the non-vegetable powder is mixed at a ratio of 3% to 20% by volume of the mixture.
본 발명의 효과는 응고형 입자의 직경이 벤토나이트 입자의 경우 0.8mm ~ 2.5mm, 두부 입자의 경우 1.5mm ~ 3mm, 옥수수 입자의 경우 0.5mm ~ 4.0mm, 카사바 입자의 경우 1mm ~ 4mm일 때, 보다 현저하게 발생할 수 있다. 응고형 입자의 종류에 따라 비식물성 분말의 경도, 비중, 직경, 부피% 중 적어도 어느 하나가 조정될 수 있다.The effect of the present invention is when the diameter of the coagulated particles is 0.8 mm to 2.5 mm for bentonite particles, 1.5 mm to 3 mm for tofu particles, 0.5 mm to 4.0 mm for corn particles, and 1 mm to 4 mm for cassava particles, may occur more significantly. Depending on the type of solidified particle, at least one of hardness, specific gravity, diameter, and volume % of the non-vegetable powder may be adjusted.
도 7 및 8은 본 개시의 일 실시예에 따라 배변 용기에 응고형 입자(벤토나이트 입자) 및 비식물성 분말을 넣고 물을 따른 결과를 나타내는 도면이다.Figures 7 and 8 are diagrams showing the results of putting solidified particles (bentonite particles) and non-vegetable powder into a bowel movement container and pouring water into it, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
도 7은 비식물성 분말이 글라스 비드에 해당하는 경우, 혼합물에 물을 따랐을 때의 결과를 나타내는 도면이고, 도 8은 비식물성 분말이 가넷에 해당하는 경우, 혼합물에 물을 따랐을 때의 결과를 나타내는 도면이다. 도 2와 달리, 응고된 혼합물(710, 720, 730, 810, 820, 830)은 용기에 달라붙지 않고 쉽게 뒤집혀 제거될 수 있으며, 뒤집혀 제거된 응고된 혼합물은 각각 도면부호 740 및 840과 같다.Figure 7 is a diagram showing the results when water is poured into the mixture when the non-vegetable powder corresponds to glass beads, and Figure 8 shows the results when water is poured into the mixture when the non-vegetable powder corresponds to garnet. It is a drawing. Unlike FIG. 2, the solidified mixtures 710, 720, 730, 810, 820, and 830 do not stick to the container and can be easily turned over and removed, and the solidified mixtures turned over and removed are denoted by reference numerals 740 and 840, respectively.
도 2에서는 응고형 입자가 물을 흡수한 뒤 응고하며 배변 용기에 달라붙는 것을 확인할 수 있다(도면부호 210 참고). 반면, 도 7에서는, 응고된 혼합물이 비식물성 분말로 인하여 배변 용기에 달라붙지 않고 분리된 것을 확인할 수 있다. 응고된 혼합물(710, 720, 730)은 용기에 달라붙지 않기 때문에 쉽게 뒤집혀 제거될 수 있으며, 뒤집어진 응고된 혼합물은 도면부호 740과 같다. 응고된 혼합물(740)의 바닥에 비식물성 분말이 레이어와 같이 형성되어 응고된 혼합물(740)이 용기 바닥에 달라붙지 않았고, 그에 따라 응고된 혼합물(740)이 쉽게 뒤집혀 제거될 수 있었다. 응고된 혼합물(740)이 분리된 뒤에도 비식물성 분말로 이루어진 레이어가 유지됨을 확인할 수 있다.In Figure 2, it can be seen that the coagulated particles absorb water and then coagulate and stick to the defecation container (see reference numeral 210). On the other hand, in Figure 7, it can be seen that the solidified mixture did not stick to the defecation container due to the non-vegetable powder and was separated. Since the solidified mixture (710, 720, 730) does not stick to the container, it can be easily turned over and removed, and the turned over solidified mixture is indicated by reference numeral 740. Since the non-vegetable powder was formed like a layer on the bottom of the solidified mixture 740, the solidified mixture 740 did not stick to the bottom of the container, and as a result, the solidified mixture 740 could be easily turned over and removed. It can be seen that the layer made of non-vegetable powder is maintained even after the solidified mixture 740 is separated.
도 8에서도, 응고된 혼합물이 비식물성 분말로 인하여 배변 용기에 달라붙지 않고 분리된 것을 확인할 수 있다. 응고된 혼합물(810, 820, 830)은 용기에 달라붙지 않기 때문에 쉽게 뒤집혀 제거될 수 있으며, 뒤집어진 응고된 혼합물은 도면부호 840과 같다. 응고된 혼합물(840)의 바닥에 비식물성 분말이 레이어와 같이 형성되어 응고된 혼합물(840)이 용기 바닥에 달라붙지 않았고, 그에 따라 응고된 혼합물(840)이 쉽게 뒤집혀 제거될 수 있었다. 응고된 혼합물(840)이 분리된 뒤에도 비식물성 분말로 이루어진 레이어가 유지됨을 확인할 수 있다.In Figure 8, it can be seen that the solidified mixture did not stick to the defecation container due to the non-vegetable powder and was separated. Since the solidified mixtures 810, 820, and 830 do not stick to the container, they can be easily turned over and removed, and the turned over solidified mixture is indicated by reference numeral 840. Since the non-vegetable powder was formed like a layer on the bottom of the solidified mixture 840, the solidified mixture 840 did not stick to the bottom of the container, and as a result, the solidified mixture 840 could be easily turned over and removed. It can be seen that the layer made of non-vegetable powder is maintained even after the solidified mixture 840 is separated.
혼합물의 제조 과정 중, 혼합된 응고형 입자 및 비식물성 분말에서 분진이 제거될 수 있다. 이 때, 직경이 0.2mm 보다 작은 비식물성 분말은 분진과 함께 제거될 수 있다. 응고형 입자 및 비식물성 분말이 혼합된 뒤 분진이 제거되거나, 다른 방식으로 분진이 제거될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 응고형 입자의 분진이 먼저 제거된 뒤, 비식물성 분말과 혼합될 수 있다. 이 경우, 분진이 제거된 응고형 입자와 비식물성 분말을 혼합하는 단계의 주체는 본 개시에 따른 혼합물을 실제로 사용하는 동물 보호자 등일 수 있다.During the manufacturing process of the mixture, dust may be removed from the mixed solidified particles and non-vegetable powder. At this time, non-vegetable powders with a diameter smaller than 0.2 mm can be removed along with the dust. The dust may be removed after the coagulated particles and non-vegetable powder are mixed, or the dust may be removed in another manner. For example, dust from coagulated particles may be removed first and then mixed with non-vegetable powder. In this case, the subject of the step of mixing the solidified particles from which dust has been removed and the non-vegetable powder may be an animal guardian or the like who actually uses the mixture according to the present disclosure.
일 실시예에 따르면 비식물성 분말과 응고형 입자가 섞여 있는 혼합물을 포장한 포장 키트가 제공될 수 있다.According to one embodiment, a packaging kit packaging a mixture of non-vegetable powder and coagulated particles may be provided.
