Description

  The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for sealing and packaging crushed remains so as not to rot, and more specifically, removing moisture contained in the remains so that crushed remains in a crematorium do not rot. The present invention relates to a method for and a device for sealing a remains of a bone, which is sealed after being reprocessed in a dry state so that the remains are safely stored for a long period of time.

  In general, after cremating a corpse, the remains are simply crushed (pulverized bone) and then stored in an ossuary or a burial grave.

  At this time, the bone container containing the remains is usually provided in a sealed state. However, it can be seen that the remains in the bone container are actually easily corrupted. That is, in the process of sealing the remains in the bone container, they are exposed to moisture and bacteria, and this causes corruption.

  It should be noted that the process and method of sealing the remains will cause fine gaps at many locations and complete sealing is difficult, and even if sealing is performed, a phenomenon occurs that the sealing is impaired after several years. In addition, when the remains are sealed, the remains are kept in a state where moisture remains in the ossuary container and the remains, so that bacteria and maggots are generated in the process where the inflowing air comes into contact with the remains and oxidizes. Will be promoted.

After all, due to such a cause, in the ossuary or ossuary tomb, how much time has passed, the bad smell caused by corruption is recognized as an aversion facility.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the rotary table of FIG. 3 and its peripheral devices.

  As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the method and apparatus for sealing a remains of the present invention are roughly characterized by being configured by a device that can realize the steps of dehumidifying, crushing, collecting and packaging the remains. is there. At this time, the container and the lid for wrapping the remains are formed of a synthetic resin material that can be pressed against each other by heat.

  Hereinafter, a method for sealing a remains of the present invention and a device for sealing a remains to realize the same will be described.

  The dehumidifying step ST100 is a process of removing moisture contained in the remains by supplying air from which moisture has been removed while mixing the remains supplied from the crematorium. As shown in FIG. 100 is used to remove moisture by supplying dry air through the duct 140 while the remains supplied from the crematorium are first mixed by the rotor 120. At this time, the duct 140 is connected to the air dehumidifier 30 to supply the dehumidified air to the dehumidifier 100. The air dehumidifier 30 is of a honeycomb rotor type and supplies dry air whose humidity in the air does not exceed 20%.

  At this time, in the dehumidifying step ST100, when removing moisture in the remains that have been rotted and hardened like a cocoon in the storage process of the existing ossuary, when the remains are mixed, they are first crushed in the crematorium. )

  The pulverization step ST200 is a process in which the remains from which moisture has been removed in the dehumidification step ST100 is made into a fine powder form, and as shown in FIG. To do. At this time, it is preferable that the finely pulverized powdery remains have a size of about 50 μm or less. In this way, it is possible to reduce the total volume during packaging, as well as to completely remove moisture inside by assembling the remains as initially supplied very finely once or twice. become.

  The collecting step ST300 is a process of collecting the remains in the fine powder form in the pulverizing step ST200. As shown in FIG. 2, the remains in the fine powder form supplied to the inside of the collecting apparatus 300 are surfaced. What is collected by the collection filter 320 is discharged after being held for a certain period of time. At this time, the fine powder-like remains attached to the collection filter 320 are blown off by blowing instantaneous air into the collection filter using the pulse unit 340 installed on the upper side of the collection filter 320. Then, it will be discharged together with the fine powder-like remains that fell to the bottom.

  In such a collection stage ST300, the fine powder-like remains crushed in the pulverization stage ST200 are easily scattered, and are supplied to the next stage in a state of being collected in the collection process.

  Of course, the collection filter 320 is preferably formed of a woven cloth that has been subjected to a special surface treatment so as to prevent the loss of fine powdery remains.

  The packaging step ST400 is a process in which the collected remains are supplied to the synthetic resin container 10 and then sealed with heat fusion with the synthetic resin lid 20 closed, as shown in FIG. The apparatus 400 heat-seal the synthetic resin container 10 and the synthetic resin lid 20. That is, the edges of the fine powder-like remains are integrally sealed by heat fusion in a state where the remains are placed in a container made of a synthetic resin material and a lid.

  For this purpose, if the packaging step ST400 is further subdivided, a process ST400a for supplying a synthetic resin container, a process ST400b for supplying a powdered remains to the synthetic resin container, and a fine powder attached to an edge of the synthetic resin container A process ST400c for removing the remains, a process ST400d for fixing a synthetic resin lid to the upper end of the synthetic resin container, a process ST400e for tightly fixing and fixing the synthetic resin lid fixed to the synthetic resin container, and the synthetic resin container A process ST400f for sealing the lid by heat-sealing and a process ST400g for sucking and lifting the sealed synthetic resin lid in a vacuum and then discharging the lid to the outside are sequentially performed.

  Through such a process, the fine powdered remains can be divided into equal parts and sealed. That is, in the packaging step ST400, after one person's remains are put into a large number of synthetic resin containers 10 one by one or a predetermined amount, each synthetic resin lid 20 is closed and sealed by heat fusion. Is.

  At this time, it is preferable that the method of separating the remains and sealing them is automatically and accurately performed. In other words, as a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a table in which eight fixing holes 412 are formed to fix eight synthetic resin containers 10 and lids 20 for separating one's remains. The container supply device 420, the remains supply device 430, the brush operation device 440, the lid supply device 450, the cover connection device 460, the remains fusion device 470, and the container discharge device 480 are disposed at 1/8 points along the circumference of 410. By installing, the packaging stage ST400 can be realized more efficiently.

  More specifically, the remains packaging step ST400 to which the packaging device 400 is applied will first supply the synthetic resin container 10 to each fixing hole 412 by the container supply device 420 (ST400a). At this time, the container supply device 420 can complete one step if the synthetic resin containers 10 are all fixed in the fixing holes 412 at eight points formed on the table 410.

  Next, on one side of the container supply device 420 in the rotation direction of the table 410, the remains crushed by the remains supply device 430 are supplied to the respective synthetic resin containers 10 by a predetermined amount (ST400b). Of course, the remains supply device 430 allows the fine powder-like remains collected on the collection filter 320 to be discharged in an equal amount. For this purpose, the ashes supply device 430 naturally includes a sensor for detecting mass or volume, and includes a control unit that can automatically convert them into divided discharges.

  In addition, on one side of the remains supply device 430 in the rotation direction of the table 410, the brush is rotated by the brush actuating device 440 to remove the fine powder-like remains attached to the edge of the synthetic resin container 10 ( ST400c). That is, how much the remains supplied from the remains supplying device 430 is compressed, but since it is in a powder form from which moisture has been removed, it can be easily skipped. Therefore, the powdered remains as described above are prevented from sticking to the upper end of the synthetic resin container.

  Further, on one side of the brush operating device 440 in the rotation direction of the table 410, the synthetic resin lid 20 is fixed to the upper end of each synthetic resin container 10 by the lid supply device 450 (ST400d). At this time, the lid supply device 450 can complete one step if the synthetic resin lid 20 is fixed to the fixing holes 412 at eight points formed on the table 410. Of course, the synthetic resin container 10 is already fixed in the fixing holes 412 by the container supply device 420 described above.

  Also, on one side of the lid supply device 450 in the rotation direction of the table 410, the respective synthetic resin lids 20 are tightly fixed to the upper end of the synthetic resin container 10 by the lid coupling device 460 (ST400e). At this time, in a preferred embodiment of the lid coupling device 460, the upper center of the synthetic resin lid 20 placed on the upper side of the synthetic resin container 10 is strongly pressed by air pressure to be coupled.

  Further, on one side of the lid coupling device 460 in the rotation direction of the table 410, the respective synthetic resin containers 10 and the lid 20 are pressure-bonded and sealed by the heat-sealing device 470 (ST400f). In other words, the surface where the synthetic resin container 10 and the lid 20 are in contact with each other can be thermally fused to completely eliminate the gap through which air can flow. In addition, the mutual bonding by the heat fusion can maintain the adhesion state for a very long period.

  Finally, at one side of the heat fusion device 470 in the rotation direction of the table 410, the synthetic resin lid 20 sealed by the container discharge device 480 is adsorbed in a vacuum and then discharged to the outside (ST400g). . That is, vacuum suction is used as a preferable means for extracting the synthetic resin container 10 and the lid 20 in the fixing hole 412 of the table 410.

  On the other hand, each of the devices is installed at seven points in the eight fixing holes 412, and is left as a non-processed point where no work is performed at one point.

  Therefore, since the packaging of the remains is continuously performed while the table rotates, the operation becomes very simple.

  As described above, the present invention has been described based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. However, this is only for the purpose of illustration, and various persons who have ordinary knowledge in the technical field will be able to use the present invention. It will be understood that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible.
