Description

  The present invention relates to an animal cremation cart, and more particularly to an improvement in the structure of a cremation cart for cremation of pets such as dogs and cats.

In Japan in recent years, there are an increasing number of pet animals. Along with this, when petting a pet animal, there has been a situation of touching with the same degree of affection as a human being. For this reason, cremation is sometimes performed for such pet animals and a funeral is held.
By the way, when cremation processing of human remains, it is said that the casket containing the remains is placed on a carriage and delivered to the combustion furnace, and after a predetermined period of combustion treatment, the carriage is pulled out and collected. The method is common. As a cart used in such a cremation treatment apparatus, a plurality of castable refractories are laid in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the cart, via a heat insulating layer on the cart body, and the adjacent refractories are opposed to each other. The thing of the structure which joined between the surfaces with the mortar is used.

When a dead body is placed on the base plate of this cart and burned in the combustion furnace, a part of the oil that exudes from the dead body penetrates into the mortar portion, thereby preventing complete combustion. It was inevitable that this oil continued to smolder due to residual heat and caused discomfort to the funeral attendant when the cart was pulled out after the completion of the combustion operation. In addition, the base plate of the trolley is made of a castable refractory that can withstand the high temperature in the combustion furnace, but the expansion and contraction are repeated by the repetition of the combustion operation and the cooling operation, and the mortar part is cracked. , And the human body oil penetrates into the cracked part and remains even after the combustion operation is completed, and the smoldering is to continue for a long time due to the retained heat of the base plate after cooling. . For such a situation, for example, the technique described in Patent Document 1 discloses a device for covering a mortar portion with a joint cap.
JP-A-8-21608

The above problem can also occur in cremation of animals (especially cremation of animals with a high fat content such as large dogs). For this reason, it can also be considered that the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 is used.
However, even when the joint cap is used, the repeated use of the carriage still prevents the occurrence of cracks between the joint cap and the mortar, and there is a concern that similar problems may occur. .
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to restrict the oil that exudes from an animal carcass from causing smoldering combustion due to residual heat when the carriage is pulled out after combustion. It is to provide an animal cremation cart.

In order to achieve the above object, an animal cremation cart according to a first invention includes a cart body, a heat insulating layer provided on the cart main body, and a fireproof layer provided on the heat insulating layer. An oil guide that communicates from the surface of the refractory layer to the heat insulating layer and the cart body, and that guides oil that exudes when the animal carcasses placed on the refractory layer are burned to the lower side of the cart body. An outlet is provided, and an oil receiving tray for storing the derived oil is provided below the oil outlet.
The bogie main body means a main body portion that constitutes the base portion of the bogie, and is made of, for example, a metal material (particularly, iron material, stainless steel material, etc.). It is preferable that a wheel capable of traveling on the rail is provided at the lower end portion of the carriage.

The heat insulating layer means a layer for making it difficult for heat to escape to the outside when the animal is cremated. The material of the heat insulating layer is not limited, but it can be formed using, for example, an artificial mineral fiber material such as glass wool or rock wool, or an inorganic porous material such as calcium silicate or water repellent pearlite.
In addition, when a fiber material is used as the heat insulating layer, since the fiber material has a large number of pores, the pores themselves may serve as an oil outlet. In that case, there is no need to provide an oil outlet port. In the present invention, since the oil outlet port is previously opened in the refractory layer portion, the opening portion serves as a buffer band, and cracks are difficult to occur in other portions. However, even when the present invention is applied, the situation in which the fireproof layer is still cracked can be considered. In this case, if a heat insulating layer having a pore portion is used, the oil soaked from the refractory layer will be led out from the oil outlet port of the cart body through the pore portion. Therefore, this is a preferred embodiment.
The fire-resistant layer means a material composed of a fire-resistant material capable of withstanding the high temperature when an animal is cremated. Although it does not ask about the material of a refractory layer, it can comprise using a castable refractory material, for example.

The oil outlet is previously opened in the fireproof layer and the bogie body (and in the case where a fiber material is not used as the heat insulating layer, including the heat insulating layer). The number and size of the oil outlets are not limited, and any oil may be used as long as the oil drops downwardly of the cart body.
Regardless of the number, size, and shape of the oil pan, the maximum amount of oil (for example, about 1000 milliliters) that exudes when an animal (such as a dog) of at most several tens of kilometers is incinerated. If there is capacity of.
In the present invention, it is preferable that the oil outlet port is provided on the back side of half of the front-rear length when proceeding to the incinerator in the cart body. When animals are cremated using the animal cremation cart of the present invention, the animals are often placed on the far side where the thermal power is strong in the incinerator. For this reason, it becomes a preferable form to arrange | position an oil outlet port in the back | inner side.

  Further, in the present invention, when the animal is burned, it is preferable that an oil pan provided on the lower side of the cart body is located outside the combustion chamber. Generally, in a cremation furnace for human beings, a burning cart on which a body is placed is subjected to a combustion operation in a state where the cart is housed in the combustion chamber. However, in some animal combustion furnaces, the lower part (particularly, the wheel part) of the carriage body is located outside the combustion chamber in consideration of fuel efficiency, protection of the wheel part, and the like. In the present invention, it is preferable that the oil tray is located outside the combustion chamber. By doing so, the temperature of the oil accumulated in the oil tray does not become higher than necessary, so smoldering combustion can be avoided more reliably.

  According to the present invention, oil that exudes during animal incineration passes through the oil outlet and accumulates in an oil pan provided below the cart body. For this reason, the situation where oil smolderes and burns after combustion can be avoided.

  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 side view of an animal cremation cart 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as “cart 1”) of the present embodiment. The cart 1 includes a cart body 2 formed in a substantially rectangular shape with stainless steel, a heat insulating layer 3 disposed on a dish-like portion on the top surface of the cart body 2, and a fireproof layer 4 provided on the upper side of the heat insulating layer 3. It has. From the lower surface side of the cart body 2, a total of four leg portions 6 and 7 are suspended from left and right and front and rear, and wheels 8 are provided at the lower ends of the leg portions 6 and 7. As shown in FIG. 8, the wheel 8 is for the carriage 1 to travel on the rail 18 in the front-rear direction. When the cart 1 is accommodated in the incinerator 20, the front leg 6 is used so as to be located on the back side of the incinerator 20 with respect to the rear leg 7. In addition, a handle 5 for moving the cart 1 in the front-rear direction is provided in front of the lower surface side of the cart body 2.

There is a pair of a lower center of the main body 2 and a front side (a side close to the leg portion 6, that is, a rear side of a half of the front-rear length when the cart 1 is accommodated in the incinerator 20). Assembly rails 12 are laid in the left-right direction. An oil tray 13 (described later) is slid and assembled to the assembly rail 12 from the side. Each assembly rail 12 is suspended from the carriage main body 2 and then bent at a right angle so as to move away from each other in the front-rear direction, so that the cross section is L-shaped.
In addition, a pair of left and right rib pieces 9 and 10 protrude from the cart body 2 at the center and the back side, respectively. The rib pieces 9 and 10 restrict the cart body 2 from being distorted by heat generated when the animal is burned.

The upper surface of the cart body 2 is configured in a dish shape, and the heat insulating layer 3 is provided on the upper surface side of the dish shape. The heat insulation layer 3 is made of, for example, rock wool, calcium silicate, or the like. On the upper side of the heat insulating layer 3, a fireproof layer 4 made of a castable fireproof material is provided. The refractory layer 4 as a whole has a dish-like shape in which the periphery of the outer edge rises and the central portion is recessed. This is to prevent oil or the like that exudes from the animal from spilling outward from the carriage 1.
From the surface of the refractory layer 4, an oil outlet port 11 that communicates the heat insulating layer 3 and the carriage body 2 is opened. Three oil outlets 11 are provided along the center of each assembly rail 12 (total of six in the cart body 2). From the oil outlet 11, the oil that exudes when the animal carcass D (shown only in FIG. 8) is burned can be led out below the cart body 2. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the oil outlet 11 is also provided in the heat insulating layer 3. However, the heat insulating layer 3 has pores, and the pores themselves are oil. When fulfilling the function of the outlet, it is not necessary to provide the oil outlet 11 in the heat insulating layer 3.

Further, an overhanging edge portion 14 protrudes from the side periphery of the carriage body 2. The overhanging edge portion 14, when the cart 1 is accommodated in the incinerator 20, is fitted into the concave groove 19 on the incinerator 20 side, thereby defining the primary combustion chamber 24, and the lower surface side, leg portion of the cart body 2. 6, 7 and the wheel 8 are located outside the primary combustion chamber 24.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the oil tray 13 is formed in a rectangular dish shape from a stainless material. Oil can be stored in the plate portion 17 at the center of the oil tray 13. A pair of slide pieces 15 slidably engageable with the assembly rail 12 are provided on the upper side of the dish portion 17. Further, in the dish portion 17, a handle 16 for assembling the oil tray 13 to the cart body 2 is provided on one side edge.

Next, the configuration of the incinerator 20 will be briefly described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. The incinerator 20 is provided with a primary combustion chamber 24 and a primary combustion burner 26, and a secondary combustion chamber 22 and a secondary combustion burner 23. By providing the secondary combustion chamber 22 in this way, incomplete combustion of the animal carcass D can be prevented. A blower 21 that sends air to the combustion chambers 22 and 24 is provided at the top of the incinerator 20. An opening door 25 that can be opened and closed is provided at the opening of the primary combustion chamber 24.
Next, the operation and effect of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described. First, the animal carcass D is placed on the upper surface of the carriage 1 arranged on the pair of left and right rails 18. At this time, in order to promote good incineration, the animal carcass D is preferably placed on the back side (the side close to the leg portion 6) of the carriage body 2 so as to be close to the primary combustion burner 26. Next, the closing door 25 is set to the open position, the carriage 1 is accommodated inside the primary combustion chamber 24, and the closing door 25 is set to the closed position. At this time, the carriage 1 passes on the rail 18 and advances to the back side, and the overhang edge 14 is fitted into the concave groove 19, thereby defining the primary combustion chamber 24. Thus, the oil tray 13 located on the lower surface side of the cart body 2 is located outside the primary combustion chamber 24.

In this state, while the blower 21 of the incinerator 20 is driven, the primary combustion burner 26 and the secondary combustion burner 23 are ignited to start the incineration operation of the animal carcass D. Although not shown, the incinerator 20 is provided with a control device for controlling the operation of the temperature sensors / burners 23 and 26, and the animal carcass D is incinerated by this control. During this incineration operation, oil exudes from the animal carcass D, but this oil passes through the oil outlet 11 and accumulates in the oil tray 13.
When the incineration operation is completed, after a certain cooling time has elapsed, the charging door 25 is opened, and the cart 1 is led out of the incinerator 20. Since the oil pan 13 is located outside the primary combustion chamber 24, the temperature of the oil pan 13 is lower than the internal temperature of the primary combustion chamber 24 during the incineration operation, and after the incineration operation, the primary combustion chamber 24. It will be cooler faster. For this reason, compared with the case where oil exists in the trolley | bogie main body 2, the heat insulation layer 3, and the fireproof layer 4, it is in the state which hardly raise | generates a smoldering combustion.

Thus, according to the present embodiment, the oil that exudes during animal incineration passes through the oil outlet 11 and accumulates in the oil tray 13 provided below the carriage main body 2. For this reason, the situation where oil smoldering after the animal carcass D is burned can be avoided.
Furthermore, since the oil outlet 11 is provided on the back side of the carriage main body 2 more than half of the length in the front-rear direction when proceeding to the incinerator 20, the back side near the combustion burner 26 having a strong thermal power. When the animal carcass D is placed on the oil pan, the oil tends to accumulate in the oil pan 13.
Thus, the animal cremation cart 1 with good operability can be provided.

In this embodiment, it is a side view of the cart for animal cremation. It is a side view of a trolley body when an oil pan is removed. It is an enlarged view (partial cross section) of the ellipse S in FIG. It is a top view of a trolley. It is a rear view of a trolley | bogie. It is a top view of an oil saucer. It is a side view of an oil saucer. It is a side view which shows a mode when a trolley | bogie is accommodated in an incinerator. It is a front view which shows the mode in which the animal carcass is incinerated with an incinerator.
