An airtight structure is provided between the outside of the furnace to prevent air from entering the furnace.
The “airtight structure” of the present invention may be anything that can prevent the intrusion of an amount of air that hinders proper combustion control. In the present invention, the airtight structure prevents the intrusion of air from the outside of the cremation furnace into the furnace, so that the amount of air in the furnace is well controlled and the proper combustion state of the cremation is guaranteed. .

  In the present invention, the airtight structure is provided with a partition plate portion protruding from one of the carriage or the inner wall and the other end of the carriage or the inner wall, so that the tip of the partition plate portion is slidably contacted and heat resistant. It is preferable to comprise with the seal part provided with. By doing so, an airtight structure can be realized with a simple structure.

  In the present invention, the inner peripheral portion of the refractory material covering the upper surface of the carriage is recessed to form a storage portion, and the inner wall of the cremation furnace is protruded inward or substantially flush with the peripheral wall of the storage portion. Is preferred. Oils and fats contained in the cremation may adhere to the inner wall during combustion and hang down, but hang down by projecting the inner wall substantially flush with the peripheral wall of the carriage housing or inward. The oils and fats are surely flowed into the housing part and do not flow out of the carriage.

  In the present invention, the cremation furnace is preferably provided on the loading platform of the vehicle. In this way, the mobility of animal cremation work can be improved.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. The technical scope of the present invention extends to an equivalent range.

  FIG. 1 shows a state in which the cremation equipment E according to the present embodiment is installed on a loading platform 11 in a box-type cargo compartment 1 of a truck. The luggage compartment 1 has a rear opening that can be opened and closed by a double door 12 on the right side of the drawing. A cremation furnace 2 is installed at a substantially central position in the cargo compartment 1. A fuel tank 13 for supplying fuel to the burner of the cremation furnace 2 is provided on the loading platform 11 in the front part of the loading chamber 1 supported by a gantry 14. A control panel 15 for performing combustion control of the cremation furnace 2 is installed.

Next, details of the cremation furnace 2 are shown in FIGS. 2 is a side view of the cremation furnace 2, FIG. 3 is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 4 is a front view thereof. FIG. 4 shows a state where the charging door is removed.
The cremation furnace 2 includes a rectangular parallelepiped casing 21 lined with a refractory material having a predetermined thickness. In the casing 21, a primary combustion chamber 22 is formed in a lower portion, and a secondary combustion chamber 23 is formed in an upper portion. ing. Both combustion chambers 22 and 23 communicate with each other, and the secondary combustion chamber 23 communicates with a chimney 24 provided on the top wall of the casing 21. The chimney 24 passes through the ceiling of the truck luggage compartment 1 (FIG. 1) and opens upward, and the chimney opening is provided with a lid 25 that is opened only when necessary.

  A burner 31 is provided at the lower end of the front wall (left side of FIG. 2) of the cremation furnace casing 21, and this burner 31 faces the primary combustion chamber 22. A viewing window 32 for the primary combustion chamber 22 is provided above the burner 31. Further, a blower 33 is provided at the upper end of the front wall of the casing 21 above, and a blower duct 34 extends from the blower 33 to the upper side of the casing 21 (FIG. 3). It reaches the side wall of the chimney 24. The other branch of the blower duct 34 has a reduced diameter and reaches the periphery of a burner 35 provided at the upper end of the rear wall of the housing 21. The burner 35 faces the secondary combustion chamber 23 (FIG. 2), and the blower duct whose diameter has been reduced further branches into a plurality of small-diameter pipes 341 (FIGS. 2 to 4). 23 is open.

In addition, thermocouples 36 and 37 are respectively installed at the side wall middle portion (FIG. 4) and the front wall upper end portion (FIG. 2) of the casing 21, and the temperatures of the primary combustion chamber 22 and the secondary combustion chamber 23 are set. The combustion of the burners 31 and 35 is controlled so that the respective combustion chambers 22 and 23 are detected at a predetermined temperature.
The lower side of the primary combustion chamber 22 is open (FIG. 4), and a parallel rail 41 is provided on the loading platform 11 of this portion and extends to the rear opening of the cargo chamber 1 (FIG. 1). A carriage 5 is provided on the parallel rail 41 so as to be movable along the rail. The carriage 5 has a rectangular shape as a whole (FIG. 3), and wheels 51 (FIGS. 2 and 4) rolling on the parallel rails 41 are provided on the lower surface side thereof.

  Further, the upper surface of the carriage 5 is covered with a refractory material having a predetermined thickness. The inner periphery of the refractory material except the periphery is recessed, and this is an accommodating portion 52 for accommodating the cremation. An opening for charging the primary combustion chamber 22 is provided in the lower half of the rear wall of the casing 21 of the cremation furnace 2. The charging opening is opened and closed by a door 26 that rotates in the horizontal direction. When the door 26 is opened and the cart 5 is inserted into the cremation furnace 2, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the cart 5 is located below the primary combustion chamber 22, and the lower opening thereof is airtight. It is designed to be closed.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the partition plate portion 53 projects outward from the outer peripheral surface of the carriage 5. On the other hand, a recessed region extending horizontally facing the partition plate portion 53 is formed on the inner surface of the front wall, the inner surface of the side wall (FIG. 5 shows the inner surface of the side wall), and the inner surface of the door 26. . Here, a material (for example, ceramic fiber) that is lightweight, flexible, rich in heat insulation and heat resistance is embedded, and the seal portion 27 is configured. A groove 271 having a cross-sectional shape slightly smaller than the cross-sectional shape of the partition plate 53 is horizontally formed in the seal portion 27. As shown in FIG. 5, the refractory material 221 constituting the inner wall of the primary combustion chamber 22 is substantially the same as the peripheral wall 521 of the housing portion 52 on the upper surface of the carriage 5 with the carriage 5 positioned below the combustion chamber 22. It is made to project to the same level.

  In the cremation facility E having such a structure, when cremation is started, the cremation is accommodated in the accommodating portion 52 of the carriage 5, the door 26 is opened, and the carriage 5 is moved into the cremation furnace 2. With this movement, the partition plate portion 53 of the carriage 5 enters the groove 271 of the seal portion 27 on the inner surface of the side wall of the housing 21. When the cart 5 has been inserted into the cremation furnace 2, the partition plate portion 53 protruding from the periphery of the cart 5 is fitted into the groove 271 of the seal portion 27 on the inner surface of the front wall and the inner surface of the side wall. It becomes a state. When the door 26 is closed, the partition plate portion 53 is also fitted into the groove 271 of the seal portion 27 on the inner surface of the door, and the partition plate portion 53 protruding from the entire outer periphery of the carriage 5 is engaged with the groove 271 of the seal portion 27. And the clearance gap S (FIG. 5) which had arisen between the outer periphery of the trolley | bogie 5 and the housing 21 inner surface is interrupted | blocked.

In this state, the cremation on the carriage 5 located in the primary combustion chamber 22 is heated and burned by the burner 31. During combustion, since the seal portion 27 made of ceramic fiber is interposed between the primary combustion chamber 22 and the outside air, the inflow of air from the outside of the furnace into the primary combustion chamber 22 is almost eliminated, and the primary combustion chamber. The amount of air in 22 is accurately controlled by the amount of air fed from the burner to ensure a good combustion state of the cremation.
Combustion gas generated in the primary combustion chamber 22 flows into the secondary combustion chamber 23, where it is completely burned by the burner 35, and the odor is reduced and discharged through the chimney 24.

By the way, although the fats and oils contained in the cremation article may adhere to the inner wall of the primary combustion chamber 22 and hang downward at this time, the refractory material 221 on the inner wall of the side wall is the accommodating portion 52 of the carriage 5 as described above. Therefore, the oil and fat that hangs down is surely introduced into the housing portion 52 and is prevented from flowing out of the carriage 5.
After the cremation is finished, the door 26 is opened and the cart 5 is pulled out backward (chain line in FIG. 2).
Thus, according to this embodiment, in the animal cremation equipment provided with the cart for charging the cremation, the cremation can be properly burned.

In the present embodiment, the cremation equipment is provided on the vehicle, but the cremation equipment of the present invention does not need to be provided on the vehicle, and may be a ground-mounted type.
Further, in this embodiment, the partition plate portion is provided on the cart side, and the groove for receiving the partition plate portion is provided on the housing side of the cremation furnace, but the reverse configuration, that is, the partition plate portion is provided on the housing side of the cremation furnace. It can also be set as the structure which provides the groove | channel which receives a part in the trolley | bogie side.
Moreover, it can replace with the ceramic fiber of a seal | sticker part, and can use the other material which has a softness | flexibility, heat insulation, and heat resistance.

Furthermore, the groove of the seal portion does not necessarily need to be formed, and may have a structure in which the front end of the partition plate abuts against the surface of the seal portion.
Moreover, in this embodiment, although the airtight structure was comprised by the partition part and the seal | sticker part, the confidential structure of this invention is not restricted to this, For example, the seal | sticker in (1) side wall inner surface follows an inner surface. A structure in which a water tank is installed and the tip of the partition plate part bent downward from the outer periphery of the carriage is immersed in the water in the water tank, (2) the seal on the inner surface of the side wall is arranged with sand along the inner surface, A structure or the like in which the tip of the partition plate bent from the outer periphery of the carriage is grounded to the sand can be employed.
