JP4519670B2 - Misidentification device for urns and remains - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a device for preventing misidentification of a bag and a remains used to smoothly perform a series of rituals in a place.

  In the Sakai, which is equipped with a cremation furnace, when a hearse arrives at the front of the building, the attendant goes to pick up the kite with a special cart and carry the kite to the farewell room for a farewell ceremony. When the farewell ceremony is over, the coffin is carried to the front of the cremation furnace doors that are lined up, and one of the doors is opened and the coffin is inserted into the cremation furnace, and the cremation takes place. When the cremation is over, the trolley cart goes to the front of the cremation furnace door, opens the door and carries the remains to the trolley, and the relatives put the remains in the urn.

  In the Seira, several cremations are performed per day, and several cremations may be performed simultaneously. There are several cremation furnaces side by side, but there are many identically shaped doors, and since the remains are indistinguishable from others, there is no difference in the remains among the bereaved family. Some people are worried. In order to get rid of such worries, the staff of Sejo have been taking measures such as checking the name of the deceased every time.

  The Seira accepts ceremonial requests over the phone, etc., and creates a plan that determines the allocation of cremation furnaces and farewell rooms every day, and the staff works while watching this. However, the plan cannot be presented in a place that is visible to many people such as attendees, so there is a part that depends on the memory of the staff to some extent. And since the cremation furnace has the same shape of the doors as described above, there is a risk of misunderstandings such as carrying firewood into a cremation furnace different from the original plan or collecting the remains of a different cremation furnace as well. There is. Such a misplacement must never be in an important ritual that ends a person's life, but there was no guarantee that misunderstanding could be completely prevented by a method that relied solely on the memory and attention of the staff. . In addition, there are many banquet halls where a farewell ceremony is held prior to cremation and an archaeological room where the remains are placed in the urn. There is a risk of entering the room.

  The present invention was developed based on such circumstances, and is effective in preventing mistakes such as misplacement and carrying out cremation ceremonies smoothly when transporting urns and remains, and preventing false recognition of urns and remains. The purpose is to provide a device.

The invention according to claim 1 for achieving the above object is a cremation start time and a cremation end time for each cremation furnace in a place that is composed of a plurality of cremation furnaces and that uses a carriage for transporting the coffin and remains. ・ A computer that stores the ID code assigned to the carriage used for transporting the cage ・ ID code assigned to the carriage used for transporting the remains, and the ID assigned to each carriage attached to each carriage A terminal that can transmit a code signal at all times, a communication device installed on the front of each cremation furnace to receive the ID code signal transmitted from the terminal and transmit it to the computer, and a door on the front of the cremation furnace by button operation a door opening and closing device for opening and closing, a blocking mechanism to disable the button operation by a command from the computer, includes a signal transmitted from the terminal instrument, toward the front of the truck When the cart faces the door on the front of the cremation furnace, the communicator receives the ID code signal transmitted from the terminal unit and transmits the information to the computer. Is between the cremation start time and the cremation end time of the cremation furnace, and if it is between the cremation start time, the stored ID code of the cart and the ID code transmitted from the communication device are In comparison, when the ID codes are different , a device for preventing misidentification of a bag and a remains, which sends a command to the block mechanism to make the door unopenable.

  Here, the place where the subject of the present invention is subjected is a scale that allows a plurality of deceased rituals to be performed at the same time, and it is essential to have several cremation furnaces. Inside the sanctuary, the carcasses and remains are transported by their own carts, and when they move, they are always accompanied by the staff of the city, and from the time they arrive at the city to the cremation furnace, the same cart is used. Used through. As a matter of course, a plurality of carts for scissors and bone collecting are prepared. And this invention is divided roughly and is comprised from the terminal device, the computer, and the communication device.

  A computer is installed in the city hall to manage various information. When you enter the name of the deceased and the date and time of the ceremony, a cremation furnace and a farewell room are assigned, and this series of information is stored in the database. In the present invention, simultaneously with the assignment of the cremation furnace or the like, the cart used for transporting the coffin and the remains is specified, and the ID code assigned to the cart is also stored in the database. Furthermore, the computer automatically creates an operation plan that determines the usage time and the moving place for each cart based on the database.

The terminal unit is integrated with the carriage, and since it transmits and receives information using radio waves, etc., it has a communication function, and an ID code assigned so that each individual carriage can be identified is assigned to each terminal unit. It is remembered. While the terminal is powered on, a signal carrying this ID code is always transmitted to the outside via the communication function. This signal is weak in order to prevent transmission to a distant place, and has directivity so that it can be concentrated and transmitted in the front direction of the carriage.

A communicator is installed in each cremation furnace and is connected to a computer via a network. When an ID code transmitted from a terminal that approaches one of the communicators is received, it is transferred to the computer. It has a function to do . The communicator is installed in the vicinity of the door on the front of the cremation furnace so that the cart approaching the cremation furnace can be detected.

When one of the carts approaches one of the communication devices and an ID code signal transmitted from the terminal device of the cart is received by the communication device, the ID code is notified to the computer. The computer refers to the operation plan from the ID code and determines whether the cart is approaching the planned cremation furnace . This criterion is based on the operation sequence and time of the cart .

As long as reliability is ensured , signal transmission / reception between the communication device and the terminal can use various methods such as radio waves, infrared rays, and ultrasonic waves, and is not limited to a specific method. . However, the transmission from the terminal must have directivity so that it can be concentrated in the front direction of the carriage. Note that the front direction of the carriage is the side closest to the cremation furnace where no terminal is installed at the front and rear ends of the carriage.

The door opening / closing device is installed in each cremation furnace and automatically opens and closes the door by a power source such as a motor. A button for opening / closing operation by an attendant is provided near the door. However, the button is not directly connected to the power source, and a block mechanism for cutting off the button and the power source is provided between them. The block mechanism is connected to the computer via a network and normally transmits the button operation to the power source as it is. However, if there is an instruction from the computer, the button and the power source can be shut off, and the staff member presses the button. Even when operated, the door can be kept closed.

When the cart faces the door on the front of the specific cremation furnace, when the communication device installed in the cremation furnace receives the ID code signal from the terminal attached to the cart, the information is transmitted to the computer. Based on the database, the computer determines whether the current time is between the cremation start time and the cremation end time of the cremation furnace, and if it is between the cremation start time and the cremation end time, The ID code of the carriage to be used is extracted. Next, the computer compares the extracted ID code with the ID code transmitted from the communication device, and if both match, no action is taken. Therefore, the clerk can open the door by operating the button. However, if they do not match, the computer sends a command to the block mechanism, shuts off the button and the power source, invalidates the button operation, and prevents an operation due to a false recognition.

As in the first aspect of the invention, when the cart carrying the coffin or the cart carrying the remains remains close to the cremation furnace different from the plan, the cremation furnace door is opened even if the button is operated. By preventing this from happening, it is possible to completely prevent the misplacement of the remains due to uncertain memories and assumptions of the staff, and without causing any discomfort to the bereaved family, while maintaining dignity and dignity suitable for the end of life The ritual can be progressed.

A terminal device 14 that can communicate with the outside via radio waves is fixed to each of the carts 12 and 13, and a monitor 20 using a liquid crystal panel is incorporated in the terminal device 14 to inform the staff 10 of information. ing. In addition, ID codes such as No. 1 and No. 2 are allocated to all the terminals 14 so that the carts 12 and 13 can be individually identified. When the hearse carriage 8 arrives, the carriage 12 for the coffin goes to receive the coffin 9, a farewell ceremony is performed in the farewell chamber 3 with the coffin 9 placed, and then the coffin 9 is transported to the cremation furnace 2. Further, the trolley cart 13 goes to the cremation furnace 2 after the cremation, where the remains are placed and used for transport to the craving chamber 4.

  In the office room 6, there is a computer 11 that supervises the office procedures related to the temple 1, and when a ritual request is received from the funeral company, information about the deceased is entered and the cremation furnace 2 and the like are assigned. And determine work procedures such as time adjustment. The storage 5 is provided with a transmitter 15 for transmitting information to the terminal 14 by radio waves. Since this information is created by the computer 11, the transmitter 15 and the computer 11 are connected by a dedicated line. Tied. Further, a communication device 16 for transmitting and receiving radio waves is installed at the front of each cremation furnace 2 and at the entrance of the farewell chamber 3 and the collection chamber 4 to receive information from the terminals 14 of the carts 12 and 13. Or transmitting information to the terminal device 14.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of information related to a ritual managed by the computer 11. Upon receiving a ceremonial request from the funeral company, the attendant inputs a series of information such as the names of the deceased and the mourner to the computer 11 and adjusts the time as necessary. FIG. 2 (A) shows a database in which a list of rituals to be performed on a certain day is stored. Based on the name of the deceased, the time of arrival at the place, the assigned cremation furnace 2 and its All necessary information such as use time is stored. In order to prevent the bag 9 and the remains from being misidentified at the time of transportation, the trolleys 12 and 13 to be used are also determined in advance, and their ID codes are registered. Note that three carts 12 and 13 are used for both scissors and bone collecting, but the ID code is assigned through both.

FIG. 2C shows an operation plan similarly configured for the bogie 13 for collecting bone. As described above, the carts 12 and 13 may be used by a plurality of deceased people in one day, and their destinations vary.

  FIG. 3 shows the outline of the present invention, FIG. 3 (A) shows the configuration of the apparatus, and FIG. 3 (B) shows the configuration of the carriages 12 and 13. The computer 11 is connected to the transmitter 15, the communication device 16, and the door opening / closing device 24 so as to be able to transmit information. The transmitter 15 and the communication device 16 transmit predetermined information in response to a command from the computer 11. Further, the communication device 16 can also receive the ID code signal transmitted from the terminal device 14 of the carts 12 and 13 and notify the computer 11 of the ID code signal. As shown in FIG. 1, the transmitter 15 is installed in the storage 5 for storing the carts 12, 13 and the like, and the communicator 16 is placed at the front of each cremation furnace 2 or at the entrance of each room 3, 4. is set up. The door opening / closing device 24 is a device that controls opening and closing of the door 23 of the cremation furnace 2, and has a function of automatically opening and closing the door 23 by a button operation and maintaining the door 23 in a closed state. On the other hand, the terminal device 14 of the carts 12 and 13 includes a monitor 20, a communication unit 17, a management unit 19, and a storage unit 18. The communication unit 17 has a role of transmitting and receiving radio waves. The monitor 20 has a role of accumulating information. The monitor 20 has a role of transmitting information to the attendant 10. The monitor 20 is installed on the upper surface to ensure visibility, and the management unit 19 has a role of overseeing the whole. While the power is turned on, the terminal device 14 constantly transmits a radio wave (ID code signal) carrying its own ID code by the communication unit 17, and constantly monitors the radio waves that fly, When a message directed to the ID code is received, a predetermined response is performed.

  The computer 11 creates a database in which the schedule of the day as shown in FIG. 2 (A) is stored at the start of the day based on the ceremonial reservations received by the previous day, and each cart is used by using this database. 12 and 13 operation plans are also created. As shown in FIG. 3A, this operation plan is transmitted from the transmitter 15 toward all the carriages 12 and 13 at the start of operation, and the terminal device 14 stores only the information transmitted toward its own ID code. 18 accumulates. As shown in FIG. 1, the transmitter 15 is optimally installed in the storage 5 in which the carts 12 and 13 are stored at the start of work. However, depending on the scale of the place 1, a plurality of transmitters 15 may be installed. May be installed.

When the farewell ceremony is over, the cart 12 carrying the urn 9 moves to the front of the cremation furnace 2 by the clerk 10 and approaches the terminal device 14 while facing the communication device 16. As in A), the ID code signal of the approaching carriage 12 is read and transferred to the computer 11. Next, the computer 11 determines whether the cremation furnace 2 is approaching as planned, and does not take any action if it is as planned, but misunderstanding that the cart 12 has approached a different cremation furnace 2. If there is, there is a need to inform the attendant 10 of this. At this time, the communication device 16 that has received the ID code signal transmits a warning signal to the terminal device 14. When the terminal device 14 receives the warning signal, a message is sent to the monitor 20 as shown in FIG. Can be displayed, and a chime or the like can be sounded from the speaker 22.

  Further, the computer 11 sends a command for prohibiting the door 23 from opening to the door opening / closing device 24 of the cremation furnace 2. Therefore, even when the attendant 10 is unaware of the alarm from the terminal device 14 and tries to open the door 23 by operating a switch incorporated in the door opening / closing device 24 of FIG. 6A, the door 23 does not open. This is the same as the trolley truck 13 shown in the figure and the trolley truck 13 that collects the remains after cremation. If there is a misconception when entering the farewell room 3 or the bone collecting room 4, the terminal device 14 only issues an alarm to the attendant 10.
