DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of a corpse storage / conveyance bag 10 forming the mortality storage / conveyance system according to the present invention, and the same elements as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In the figure, a bag body 12 is formed by forming a material having a coating for maintaining airtightness and waterproofness on the inner surface of a cloth-like body woven from a fibrous material for maintaining strength in a sleeping bag shape. is there. Each joint may be, for example, heat-bonded (heat-sealed) or appropriately bonded with an adhesive. The material of the bag body 12 is not particularly limited as long as it can maintain heat insulation, airtightness, and waterproofness, such as chemical fibers such as nylon and vinyl.

Also, the material constituting the bag according to the present invention is doubled so that air can be blown into it by an air pump, and the space between the materials is used when the present invention is used. The air can be blown into the bag with an air pump, and the entire bag can be inflated into a box shape.

[0027] By using the bag body by inflating it into a box shape in this manner, the work of storing the body in the bag body becomes easy, and the laid-back state of the body is stabilized, so that deformation of the body can be prevented. It is possible to smoothly cool, deodorize and sterilize the whole bag body.

The bag can be compactly stored by completely removing the air blown into the space between the materials after use by an air pump and returning the bag to a flat shape before use.

The opening 13 can be a fitting fastener having a contractible groove made of, for example, a slightly thick plastic film and a projection fitted into the groove. The opening 13 is formed by a zipper, and the airtightness in the bag can be maintained by bending the opening.

The cool air circulation inlet pipe 14 and the return pipe 16 attached to the tube connection part 15 of the bag body 12 are made of plastic tubes, and are connected to respective connection parts of a cooling device 22 for generating cool air, which will be described later. It is formed as possible.

The return pipe 16 has a return pipe end 16E so that cold air can be circulated in the bag body 12 as evenly as possible, so that the return pipe end 16E can be sucked from a portion separated from the introduction pipe 14 inside the bag body 12. Care should be taken.

The external extension of the introduction pipe 14 and the return pipe 16 is arranged near the cooling device in a normal use state, and therefore, it is sufficient to have a length of about 1 m. However, an extension tube having an appropriate length can be prepared in consideration of convenience at the time of mounting on a vehicle or a large number of juxtapositions.

Similarly, the introduction tube 17 attached to the bag body 12 for introducing the deodorizing and sterilizing fluid can be a plastic tube. It is desirable to prepare an extension tube as well.

The introduction pipe 14 and the return pipe 16 for circulating cool air, and the introduction pipe 1 for introducing a deodorizing and sterilizing fluid.
Since the three tubes 7 are inconvenient to handle if they are disjointed, it is desirable that the three tubes be integrated together with, for example, a spiral binding material or a net-like sheath.

Further, the open ends of these three tubes are connected to a connector 10C which is adapted to the respective mating connection part.
Can be provided. In this case, not only can the connectors be individually different in shape, but also a connector 10C in which the three members are integrated, and can be attached and detached with a joint 20C of the cooling and deodorizing / sterilizing device 20 described later by one-touch. It is desirable to form.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cooling / deodorizing / sterilizing device 20 includes a cooling device 22 and a deodorizing / sterilizing fluid forming means 28. The cooling device 22 has a small-sized compressor, and can use a cooling cycle that compresses a refrigerant and uses an endothermic effect at the time of vaporization and expansion.

The cooling device 22 has a delivery blower 29 for sending out the generated cool air to the outside, and is formed so as to discharge the cool air at a predetermined pressure. In addition, the mortuary storage and transport bag 10
A suction blower (not shown) for sucking the return gas from the pump can be provided, but it can also be circulated spontaneously by the delivery pressure of the delivery blower.

In this case, a driving source such as a compressor or a delivery blower can be a portable battery, a vehicle-mounted battery, or a commercial power source. In addition, the output of the generator which can be easily moved by a hand-held type or a truck or a vehicle can be used.

Further, other cool air generating means, for example, an electronic cooling device utilizing the Peltier effect can be used. Although it tends to be insufficient in terms of the cooling effect, it has excellent features such as light weight, quietness and low power consumption, so that it can be fully utilized depending on conditions.

The deodorizing and sterilizing fluid forming means 28 in FIG. 3 can be, for example, an ozone generator. As the ozone generator, a well-known device using discharge by high voltage can be adopted. By introducing the generated ozone into the inside of the bag body 12 via the delivery pipe 27 and the introduction pipe 17 on the side of the body storage / transport bag 10, it is possible to expect a deodorizing and sterilizing action.

The deodorizing and sterilizing fluid forming means 28 may be a gas generating means which appropriately uses the sterilizing power of the compound instead of such an ozone generator.

In this case, an appropriate compound having deodorant and bactericidal properties, for example, ethyl alcohol, formalin, stabilized chlorine dioxide or the like is incorporated therein, and a gas obtained by evaporating the gas is introduced into the bag 12. A deodorizing and germicidal action can also be provided.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a mixing means M can be provided to mix the deodorizing and sterilizing fluid generated by the deodorizing and sterilizing fluid forming means 28 such as an ozone generator or the gas generating means.

For example, by mixing the two at an appropriate ratio while adjusting the pressure in the cool air discharge section of the cooling device 22 with a mixing device M having a check valve, it is possible to supply deodorant and sterilizing gas in accordance with the supply of cool air. it can. According to such a configuration, the connection between the cooling / deodorizing / sterilizing apparatus 20 and the corpse storage / conveyance bag 10 can be performed by two pipes.

In any case, the internal pressure of the corpse storage / transport bag 10 need only be slightly higher than that of the outside, and does not need to be excessively increased. Therefore, the discharge pressure of the cool air and the deodorant sterilizing fluid, and hence the discharge pressure of the delivery blower, does not need to be increased so much, but the circulation amount needs to be maintained at a predetermined amount.

Therefore, in consideration of the balance between the amount of discharge and the amount of suction, it is desirable to appropriately adjust the output of the suction blower or the flow control valve provided in a part of the return pipe.

The cooling / deodorizing / sterilizing apparatus 20 can correspond to each of the corpse storing / conveying bags 10 as described above. However, the cooling / deodorizing / sterilizing apparatus 20 may be separately installed or used as a large-capacity facility for mounting on a vehicle, and may be configured to be compatible with a plurality of mortuary storage / transport bags 10.

In this case, a plurality of, for example, about 3 to 5 connecting sections with an automatic closing valve are provided in the cooling / deodorizing / sterilizing apparatus 20, and the connector 10C at the end of the connecting pipe on the side of the body storage / transport bag 10 is connected. By doing so, it can be configured to communicate and circulate cool air and deodorant sterilizing fluid.
