Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing pine resin slices and a product using pine resin slices manufactured thereby. More specifically, it relates to a method for manufacturing pine resin slices that effectively release pine resin scent and phytoncides, and a new product using pine resin slices manufactured by this method. Background Technology

[0002] Pine resin is the solidified resin of fallen pine trees, consisting mainly of the base of the trunk and the roots. Because the resin traps the fragrance and phytoncides inside the resin, the scent is strong and a large amount of phytoncides are released.

[0003] These pine resins often have unique shapes and, as mentioned earlier, have a strong scent, so they are primarily used as indoor decorative items. However, over time, the resin contained within the resin leaks out, causing the scent to diminish and preventing the effective release of phytoncides.

[0004] Meanwhile, pine resin is also used as pillow stuffing; however, since it is traditionally cut into cube shapes, it has the disadvantage that the scent cannot be sustained due to the resin. Prior art literature

[0005] Republic of Korea Registered Patent No. 10-0215961 (May 26, 1999) Republic of Korea Registered Utility Model No. 20-0491626 (May 6, 2020) The problem to be solved

[0006] The present invention is proposed based on the above points, and more specifically, provides a method for manufacturing a pine resin slice that effectively releases the refreshing scent of pine resin and phytoncides, and a new product in which the pine resin slice manufactured by this method is contained to enjoy the scent of pine resin. means of solving the problem

[0007] According to a feature of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a pine resin slice and a pine resin slice manufactured thereby are provided, the method comprising: a process of removing the outer part of a pine resin; a process of extracting the inner bark of a linden tree with hot water to produce a linden tree inner bark extract, and concentrating the inner bark extract to create viscosity to produce a linden tree inner bark concentrate; a process of applying the linden tree inner bark concentrate to the pine resin from which the outer part has been removed; a process of drying the pine resin to which the linden tree inner bark concentrate has been applied; and a process of slicing the dried pine resin to produce a pine resin slice.

[0008] According to another feature of the present invention, a fragrance is provided comprising: a lower case (40) having an open top and a receiving space formed inside; an upper case (50) covering the upper part of the lower case (40) and having a through opening (52) formed therein; a pine needle slice (10) manufactured by the above method and received in the lower case (40); and an opening cover (54) for opening and closing the opening (52); wherein a protective film formed by applying the linden tree inner bark concentrate is formed on the inner surfaces of the lower case (40), the upper case (50), and the opening cover (54).

[0009] According to another feature of the present invention, a wooden pillow using a pine needle slice is provided, comprising: a wooden pillow body (20) having an open top, a receiving space formed inside, and a ventilation hole (22) formed on the side; a wooden pillow lid (30) covering the top of the wooden pillow body (20); and a pine needle slice (10) manufactured by the above method and received inside the wooden pillow body (20); wherein magnets (32) are provided so as to be mutually aligned on the upper surface of the wooden pillow body (20) and the lower surface of the wooden pillow lid (30), and a protective film formed by applying the linden tree inner bark concentrate is formed on the inner surfaces of the wooden pillow body (20) and the wooden pillow lid (30). Effects of the invention

[0010] The present invention, having the above-described composition, involves removing the outer part of the pine resin and slicing it. Since the pine resin slices produced by the present invention are not in the form of lumps surrounded by resin, the scent of pine resin and phytoncides are effectively emitted.

[0011] In particular, by applying a concentrated extract of the inner bark of a linden tree to a pine resin from which the outer layer has been removed to form a protective film, and then drying the pine resin, the release of pine resin scent and phytoncides during the drying process prevents a decrease in the content of these scents and phytoncides; thus, it is possible to produce pine resin slices in which the pine resin scent and phytoncides are maintained more continuously.

[0012] Therefore, making a wooden pillow or a pillow using the pine resin slice according to the present invention helps promote deep sleep due to the pine resin scent and phytoncides. Additionally, making an air freshener using the pine resin slice according to the present invention allows the pine resin scent and phytoncides to diffuse effectively indoors, creating a pleasant indoor environment. Furthermore, by applying a concentrated extract of inner linden bark to the inner surface of the main body, lid, or case where the pine resin slice of the wooden pillow or air freshener is housed, a protective film is formed. This allows the pine resin scent and phytoncides to be absorbed into the main body, lid, or case, thereby preventing a reduction in the external release of the scent and phytoncides and enabling the enjoyment of the pine resin scent and phytoncides for a longer period.

[0014] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0015] It should be noted that the embodiments described below are not intended to limit the invention and may be implemented in various different forms, including various modifications, equivalents, or alternatives.

[0016] The features of the present invention and the resulting effects will become clearer with reference to the embodiments described in detail below, together with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] In describing the embodiments of the present invention, specific descriptions of known functions or configurations will be omitted unless actually necessary for describing the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, the terms described below are defined in consideration of the functions in the embodiments of the present invention, and these may vary depending on the intentions or conventions of the user or operator. Therefore, their definitions should be based on the content throughout this specification.

[0018] Throughout the specification, when a part is described as being "connected" to another part, this includes not only cases where they are "directly connected," but also cases where they are "electrically connected" with other components in between.

[0019] Furthermore, when a part is said to "include" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but rather may include additional components, and it should be understood as not excluding in advance the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0020] FIGS. 1 to 6 relate to a method for manufacturing a pine resin slice according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and is composed of the following process.

[0021] (1) Remove the outer part from the collected pine resin.

[0022] The outer surface of the pine resin is covered with foreign matter, making it unhygienic, and also has a high resin content that hinders the emission of phytoncides, so the outer surface of the pine resin is peeled off and removed.

[0023] After felling pine trees (red pines) that are 70 to 100 years old or older, about 70% of the roots of the pine tree that are 7 to 15 years old rot, while about 30% remains and becomes pine resin, which is naturally concentrated. When a pine tree dies, it begins to decompose from the outside, but over time, the resin forms a film that prevents decay and protects the unique scent of pine resin and phytoncides, which are aromatic substances such as terpenes, from being released to the outside.

[0024] About 15 years after logging, the trunk shrinks due to decay, and the resin clumps tightly inward; while the phytoncide content is strong, the scent becomes overpoweringly resinous, which may be off-putting. Generally, pine resin formed from roots extending eastward (east-facing roots) or northward in shady areas has a weaker resin scent due to terpenes, emitting a soft, sweet, and refreshing fragrance along with phytoncides. In contrast, roots extending westward or southward in shady areas emit a stronger resinous scent due to the intense sunlight, resulting in an undesirable aroma. Therefore, it is preferable to use pine resin from roots extending eastward or northward in shady areas.

[0025] Figure 1 is a photograph of the harvested pine root, and Figure 2 is a photograph of the pine root with the outer part removed.

[0026] (2) A concentrated extract of linden bark is made using the inner bark of the linden tree.

[0027] Linden trees contain tannins, which have waterproofing and preservative effects, and pectin, which has gelling properties; these components are found in greater quantities in the inner bark than in the internal tissues of the linden tree.

[0028] Therefore, in this process, a concentrated extract of the inner bark of the linden tree is prepared by hot water extraction using the inner bark of the linden tree in the following manner. First, an amount of water equal to the weight of the inner bark of the linden tree is poured over the inner bark of the linden tree, and the mixture is heated at 75–80°C for several tens of minutes to several hours to sufficiently extract the active ingredients of the inner bark, after which only the liquid component (inner bark extract) is separated and obtained. Figure 3 is a photograph of the inner bark of the linden tree, and Figure 4 is a photograph of the inner bark of the linden tree boiled in water.

[0029] Then, the separated liquid component (linden inner bark extract) is heated and concentrated at 75~80℃ to produce a viscous, thick linden inner bark concentrate.

[0030] (3) Apply a concentrated extract of the inner bark of the linden tree to the pine tree.

[0031] A concentrated extract of linden inner bark is applied to pine resin from which the outer layer has been removed to form a protective film on the surface of the resin.

[0032] (4) Dry the pine resin.

[0033] The outer layer of the pine resin is removed and the resin is dried to reduce its moisture content. After the outer layer is removed, the resin contained in the pine resin comes into contact with air and forms a film after about 8 hours. Since terpenes and phytoncides contained in the pine resin are released until the resin film is formed, a problem arises where the content of terpenes and phytoncides decreases during the drying process of the pine resin.

[0034] In the present invention, as described above, a concentrated extract of the inner bark of the linden tree is applied directly to the pine resin after the outer part has been removed to form a protective film, thereby preventing the release of terpenes and phytoncides until the resin forms a film.

[0035] Preferably, pine resin applied with linden inner bark concentrate is dried at a low temperature; if high-temperature drying or freeze-drying methods are used, cracks occur in the pine resin, causing problems such as the release of terpenes and phytoncides. The pine resin is dried at a low temperature of approximately 20°C for about 150 to 180 days until the moisture content of the pine resin is about 10%. Figure 5 is a photograph of pine resin dried at a low temperature after applying linden inner bark concentrate.

[0036] (5) Slice the pine resin that has been dried at low temperature to make pine resin slices.

[0037] Pine resin that has been dried at a low temperature is planed or machined to make pine resin slices. Fig. 6 is a photograph of a pine resin slice produced by this method.

[0038] As such, in the present invention, the outer part of the pine resin is removed, and the inner part is coated with a concentrated extract of the inner bark of a linden tree and dried, and then sliced ​​to produce pine resin slices. Since the pine resin slices produced by the present invention are not in the form of lumps surrounded by resin, the refreshing scent of the pine resin due to terpenes is well emitted, and phytoncides are also well emitted. In particular, the pine resin scent and phytoncides are emitted by the concentrated extract of the inner bark of the linden tree during the drying process, thereby preventing a decrease in the scent and phytoncide content of the pine resin. Furthermore, pine resin (red pine) root contains phytoncides such as α (alpha)pinene, β (beta)pinene, and tricarene, which play excellent roles in activating NK cells to produce outstanding anticancer effects, as well as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, deodorizing, increased sleep, increased immunity, and improved learning ability.

[0039] As described below, the pine resin slices produced in this manner can be placed in a separate case and used as an air freshener, or used as stuffing for wooden pillows or pillows.

[0040] FIGS. 7 to 10 are photographs of a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the present invention is exemplified as being applied to a fragrance using a pine resin slice.

[0041] The air freshener according to the present embodiment comprises a lower case (40) having a square box shape and containing a pine resin slice inside, and an upper case (50) covering the lower case (40). An opening (52) is formed in the upper case (50) to allow the pine resin scent and phytoncide to be emitted, and the opening (52) is opened and closed by an opening cover (54). Therefore, when the opening (52) is opened, the pine resin scent and phytoncide are emitted to the outside.

[0042] Placing these air fresheners indoors allows the scent of pine resin and phytoncides to radiate effectively, creating a pleasant indoor environment.

[0043] Preferably, the upper and lower cases (50, 40) and the opening cover (54) are made of linden wood. The linden tree (Tilia amurensis Rupr.) is a deciduous tall tree, and the tree is mainly used for ornamental and nectar-producing purposes, while the wood is widely used as building material, furniture material, tool material, carving material, and packaging material. In particular, since linden wood contains tannins that have waterproofing and preservative effects and pectin that has a gelling effect, if the upper and lower cases (50, 40) are made of linden wood, the pine resin scent is not absorbed into the upper and lower cases (50, 40) but is released only through the opening (52), so there is an advantage of being able to enjoy the pine resin scent more effectively for a long period of about 60 days.

[0044] In particular, preferably, the linden inner bark concentrate is applied to the inner surfaces of the upper and lower cases (50, 40) and the opening cover (54). When the linden inner bark concentrate is applied to the upper and lower cases (50, 40), a protective film is formed on the inner surfaces of the upper and lower cases (50, 40) and the opening cover (54), thereby more effectively preventing the absorption of the pine resin scent and phytoncide into the upper and lower cases (50, 40) and the opening cover (54), and thus allowing the pine resin scent and phytoncide to be released for a longer period of time.

[0045] FIGS. 11 and 12 are photographs of the third embodiment of the present invention, in which the present invention is exemplified as being applied to a wooden pillow using a pine resin slice.

[0046] As disclosed in FIGS. 11 and 12, the wooden pillow consists of a wooden pillow body (20) with an open top and an internal receiving space, and a wooden pillow lid (30), and a pine resin slice (10) is received inside the wooden pillow body (20).

[0047] The above-mentioned wooden pillow lid (30) is hinge-connected to the wooden pillow body (20) so as to be openable and closable, and magnets (32) are provided so as to be aligned with each other on the upper surface of the wooden pillow body (20) and the lower surface of the wooden pillow lid (30). Therefore, since the wooden pillow lid (30) is attached to the wooden pillow body (20) by the magnets (32), the wooden pillow lid (30) is not opened arbitrarily. In addition, a plurality of ventilation holes (22) are formed on the side of the wooden pillow body (20) so that the scent of pine resin and phytoncide are well emitted to the outside. Using such a wooden pillow helps with deep sleep due to the scent of pine resin and phytoncide. Preferably, the wooden pillow body (20) and the wooden pillow lid (30) are also made of linden wood, and due to the characteristics of linden wood as described above, the scent of pine resin and phytoncide is emitted more effectively. In addition, in this embodiment as well, a protective film formed by the concentrated inner bark extract of the linden tree is formed on the inner surface of the wooden pillow body (20) and the wooden pillow lid (30).

[0048] In this embodiment, a wooden pillow is made using pine resin slices, but a regular pillow can also be made using pine resin slices as pillow stuffing, and using such a pillow helps with deep sleep due to the scent of pine resin and phytoncides. In the case of a wooden pillow or a regular pillow, the refreshing scent and phytoncides of the pine resin slices last for about 40 days, gradually decrease, and are almost completely depleted after about 60 days.

[0049] The present invention described above is not limited by the aforementioned embodiments and attached drawings, and it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention.
