Description

  The present invention relates to a body storage device for storing a body.

  As a method for preserving the corpse, a method of cooling and preserving the corpse by placing dry ice around the corpse stored in the casket is common. In recent years, cremation facilities are congested, especially in urban areas, so the storage period of the remains tends to be prolonged, but the method using dry ice needs to be replenished with a predetermined amount of dry ice every day. If it is prolonged, the cost will increase greatly. In addition, carbon dioxide generated from dry ice left in the cage during cremation also corrodes the cremation furnace.

  As a method for preserving a body without using dry ice, a method for storing the body in a frozen state using a refrigeration apparatus is known. Although this method can preserve the corpse for a long period of time, it requires work to thaw the frozen corpse before the funeral, which complicates the work process and may also cause damage to the corpse. . In recent years, as a method for preserving corpses as an alternative to these conventional methods, the corpse is not frozen by forming an electric field in the space around the corpse while placing the corpse in a negative temperature environment (hereinafter also referred to as the “freezing state below freezing point”). ) Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 below).

This cold air generating device 31 generates and sends out cold air by heat exchange of the refrigerant circulating in the device housing, and sends the cold air from the cold air generating device 31 to the inside of the body storage 10 (internal space). The discharge duct 32 that guides and discharges and the intake duct 33 that sucks the air in the interior space and guides it to the cool air generation device 31 constitute the interior temperature control means.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a rectangular cold air discharge port 17 and an intake port 18 formed so as to penetrate the bottom surface portion are opened in the bottom surface portion (bottom panel portion 11 </ b> B) in the interior space. Yes. The discharge duct 32 extends from the inside of the support base 43 of the second support base 41B to the cold air discharge port 17 and is configured to discharge cold air from the cold air discharge port 17 into the interior space. The intake duct 33 extends from the inside of the support base 43 of the second support base 41 </ b> B to the intake port 18, and is configured to suck in the air in the warehouse from the intake port 18. In addition, a temperature sensor 34 (shown in FIG. 2) for detecting the air temperature (internal temperature) in the internal space is installed at the intake port 18 (the installation position and the number of the thermal sensors 34 can be changed as appropriate). ).

In the device casing of the cool air generation device 31, an operation unit 31a for designating the set temperature of the internal space, and a temperature display unit 31b for displaying the designated set temperature and the internal temperature detected by the temperature sensor 34 are displayed. And are provided. The cool air generation device 31 adjusts the temperature of the cool air and the amount of the cool air sent to the interior space via the discharge duct 32 based on the difference between the designated set temperature and the interior temperature detected by the temperature sensor 34.

The set temperature of the internal space is specified as a predetermined temperature within a range of −4 ° C. or more and less than 0 ° C. (for example, −3 ° C. or −4 ° C. (can be changed as appropriate). In addition to the cool air generating device 31, an electric field control device 51 and an AC adapter 52 are also housed inside the support base 43, which will be described later.

  Next, the internal configuration of the body storage 10 will be described. FIG. 2 shows the inside of the corpse storage 10 in a state where the top panel portion 11A and the left side panel portion 11C of the cylindrical base portion 11 are virtually broken and removed and the foot side panel portion 13 is removed. FIG. 3 shows the inside of the body storage 10 in a state where the left side panel portion 11C of the cylindrical base portion 11 is virtually broken and removed. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, eight cylinders as the heel support members on which the heel CK is placed are placed on the upper surface (surface inside the warehouse) of the bottom panel portion 11 </ b> B constituting the bottom surface portion of the corpse storage 10. Rollers 61 (only four on the front side of the drawing in FIG. 3) are arranged in two rows (number and arrangement position can be arbitrarily changed) by four along the longitudinal direction of the mortuary storage case 10.

  Each cylindrical roller 61 has a cylindrical roller portion that is rotatably supported in contact with the lower surface of the ridge CK, and the rotation axis of the roller portion is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the body storage case 10. Is arranged. As a result, the head-side panel 12 is removed to open one end in the longitudinal direction of the corpse storage 10, and the CK is placed on the cylindrical roller 61 when taking the CK into and out of the interior space. Since the kite CK can be moved with a light force by the rotation of the roller portion, it is possible to easily carry out the loading / unloading operation. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the cylindrical roller 61 is configured to support the collar at a position one step higher than the upper surface of the bottom panel portion 11B. As a result, a space S is formed between the bowl CK placed on the cylindrical roller 61 and the bottom panel portion 11B, so that the cool air in the cabinet can be circulated through the space S. In place of the cylindrical roller 61, a ball roller (not shown) having a spherical roller portion may be arranged as a heel support member.

  As outlined above, the bottom panel portion 11B is formed with the cold air discharge port 17 and the air intake port 18 (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The cold air discharge port 17 is formed in the vicinity of the inner surface of the foot side panel portion 13, and the air intake port 18 is adjacent to the cold air discharge port 17 and is further away from the foot side panel portion 13 than the cold air discharge port 17. It is formed in the position. A plate-like stopper member 62 (shown by a two-dot chain line so that the other side of the stopper member 62 can be seen in FIG. 2) is attached between the cold air discharge port 17 and the intake port 18 (removable). May be configured). This stopper member 62 comes into contact with one longitudinal end surface portion of the heel CK (an end surface portion on the foot side of the corpse) when the heel CK is inserted into the interior space from the head side panel portion 12 side, and the heel CK However, it is comprised so that it may control moving so that it may approach the foot side panel part 13 any more.

  Further, in a state where the longitudinal end surface portion of the heel CK is in contact with the stopper member 62, the cool air discharge port 17 is provided between the inner surface of the foot side panel portion 13 and the longitudinal end surface portion of the heel CK and the stopper member 62. A space T (see FIG. 3) extending to the upper part in the interior space is formed. This space T is configured to be used as a passage for guiding the cool air discharged from the cool air discharge port 17 to the upper part in the interior space. For this reason, it is possible to circulate the cool air efficiently in the interior space without providing a duct for guiding the cool air from the cool air discharge port 17 to the upper part in the interior space. . Further, the stopper member 62 also functions as a partition member that partitions the space T on the cold air discharge port 17 side and the space S on the air intake port 18 side in the state where the bag CK is inserted as shown in FIG. . By partitioning both the spaces S and T by the stopper member 62, it is possible to prevent the cold air discharged from the cold air discharge port 17 from being directly sucked out from the intake port 18, and from the cold air discharge port 17 to 棺 CK Since a cool air passage is formed that leads to the air inlet 18 through the surroundings, it is possible to circulate the cool air more efficiently in the interior space in which the soot CK is placed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the electrostatic discharge means 53 is located on the inner side surface of the upper surface panel portion 11 </ b> A constituting the upper surface portion of the mortuary storage case 10, on the head side, the central part (the abdomen portion) of the corpse inside the storage case. Position) and three positions on the foot side. The electrostatic discharge means 53 constitutes a space potential generating means together with the electric field control device 51 described above. This space potential generating means has the same structure as the space potential generating device described in the above-mentioned Patent Publication A. That is, the electric field control device 51 returns a transformer formed by magnetically coupling the primary coil and the secondary coil, and one terminal of the secondary coil to the terminal of the primary coil in order to adjust the voltage in the secondary coil. The feedback control circuit and output control means (all not shown) provided at the other terminal of the secondary coil in order to apply low frequency vibration to the output of the secondary coil. The electrostatic discharge means 53 has a plate surface (not shown) made of a conductive material and electrically connected to the other terminal of the secondary coil of the electric field control device 51, and is activated by the operation of the electric field control device 51. Static electricity is discharged from the plate surface, and an electric field is formed in a facing internal space (for example, a space having a radius of about 1.5 meters with the electrostatic discharge means 53 as the center). An electric wire (not shown) for electrically connecting the electric field control device 51 and the electrostatic discharge means 53 is disposed in the interior space.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the illuminating lamp 54 is installed in the surface inside the store | warehouse | chamber of 11 A of upper surface panel parts (position near window part W1). This illuminating lamp 54 illuminates the head of the corpse from above so that the face can be easily seen when looking into the face of the corpse in the cabinet from the window W1, and is constituted by an LED lamp or the like.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a sterilizing / deodorizing means 55 is installed on the inner surface of the upper panel portion 11A (the position closer to the feet of the inside body). The sterilization / deodorization means 55 is configured to release ozone into the internal space to sterilize (sterilize) bacteria and deodorize the odor in the internal space. The sterilizing / deodorizing means 55 is electrically connected to the AC adapter 52 described above via an electric wire (not shown), and is driven by a direct current supplied from the AC adapter 52. The AC adapter 52 is electrically connected to an AC current supply outlet installed in a building such as a ceremony hall where the corpse preservation apparatus 1 is installed, converts the AC current into DC current, and disinfects and disinfects the deodorizing means 55. Supply.

  Next, the operation of the body storage device 1 (body storage method) will be described. First, the body preservation apparatus 1 is moved to a place where the body (casket) is stored while rotating the wheels 44 of the support unit 40, and the rotation of the wheels 44 is stopped and fixed by a stopper mechanism. Next, the head side panel portion 12 of the corpse storage case 10 is removed, and the 棺 CK (with the top cover removed) is inserted into each cylinder in the corpse case storage case 10 from the opening formed therein. Place on roller 61. Specifically, first, the foot side end of the heel CK is placed on the cylindrical roller 61 on the opening side. Next, using the rotation of the cylindrical roller 61, the 棺 CK is pushed to the back side, and the 棺 CK crosses the back of each cylindrical roller 61, such as the next cylindrical roller 61 and the further cylindrical roller 61. It pushes in using the rotation of each cylindrical roller 61 so that it may progress to the side. Then, when the end surface portion of the heel CK on the foot side contacts the stopper member 62, the placement work of the heel CK is completed. After placing the bag CK, the head-side panel portion 12 is attached to close the opening, thereby defining an interior space that is thermally insulated from the external environment. Thereby, the storing operation of the bag CK containing the corpse into the interior space is completed.

After the bag CK is stored in the internal space, the electric field control device 51 is operated to discharge static electricity from each electrostatic discharge means 53 to the internal space to form an electric field in the internal space. Moreover, the cool air production | generation apparatus 31 is started and the preset temperature of interior space is designated within the range of -4 degreeC or more and less than 0 degreeC. Based on the designation of the set temperature, the cool air is discharged from the cold air generating device 31 to the internal space through the discharge duct 32 and the cold air discharge port 17, and the air in the internal space is sucked through the intake duct 33. By sucking in through the mouth 18 and discharging it out of the cabinet, the cool air is circulated through the interior space, and the body is cooled by controlling the interior temperature to be the set temperature. Further, the sterilization / deodorization means 55 is operated to release ozone into the internal space, thereby sterilizing bacteria and deodorizing the odor in the internal space.

  According to the corpse storage device 1 configured as described above, the corpse stored in the 棺 CK is stored in the interior space that is insulated from the external environment, which is defined by the mortuary storage 10, and the state is stored. Then, cool air is circulated in the interior space to control the temperature of the interior space to a set temperature of −4 ° C. or more and less than 0 ° C., and static electricity is discharged from the electrostatic discharge means 53 to the interior space to generate an electric field in the interior space. Therefore, the body can be well preserved in a non-freezing state (a freezing point below freezing point) while the body is cooled in a negative temperature environment. Moreover, since a large-sized electrode plate is not used to form an electric field, the body storage can be simplified. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to apply special processing to the casket, the possibility of damaging the casket is low, and the body can be stored using a general casket. In addition, since the bag CK is put into and taken out of the interior space from the narrow opening on the longitudinal direction end side of the mortuary storage case 10 formed by removing the head side panel portion 12, the inside of the interior space is Even if the bag CK is taken in and out in the cooled state, the cold air hardly escapes to the outside, and it is possible to prevent the temperature in the internal space from changing (rising) rapidly.

  Furthermore, according to this corpse preservation apparatus 1, since it is provided with the sterilization / deodorizing means 55 for reducing bacteria and odors in the interior space, it is possible to suppress an increase in bacteria and odors in the interior space. Thus, it is possible to suppress the progress of the decay of the corpse, and to maintain the interior space in a favorable environment. Moreover, since the window part W1 which can be opened and closed is provided in the upper surface part of the body storage part 10 in the position which can look in the face of the body part in a warehouse, the state of the body in the interior space can be observed from the window part W1. At the same time, a bereaved family or a funeral attendant or the like can look through the face of the corpse from the window W1 and can touch the hand by opening the window W1. Furthermore, since the illuminating lamp 54 is installed in the vicinity of the window W1, it is possible to make the face of the corpse easily visible by illuminating the head of the corpse with the illuminating lamp 54.

  Moreover, according to this corpse preservation | save apparatus 1, since the mortuary storage 10 is supported by the movable support unit 40, the installation place of the mortuary storage 10 can be changed freely. For example, even when a mortuary cabinet 10 is installed at a funeral hall, a mortuary cabinet 10 is moved to a place different from the funeral hall, and the 棺 CK containing the corpse is taken in and out. Is possible. Furthermore, according to the body storage device 1, the cold air generation device 31, the electric field control device 51, and the AC adapter 52 are housed inside the support base 43 of the second support base 41B. Since it can be moved together with the body storage case 10, the moving operation becomes easy. It is also possible to arrange these devices and the like so as not to be seen by the human eye.
