DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hearse cooling device that cools and preserves the remains of a hearse.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a corpse stored in a hearse before cremation is stored, dry ice is mainly placed around the head and internal organs to prevent its decay.

[0003]

According to the conventional method for storing a corpse using dry ice, a relatively large amount of dry ice is required, especially in the case of storage in summer, but since dry ice is expensive, a short period of time is required. Despite the preservation of
The cost of preserving the corpse was high and it was difficult to reduce it.

In addition, when dry ice is put only in the vicinity of the head and internal organs where the decay of the corpse progresses rapidly in order to save dry ice, the degree of decay of the whole corpse is significantly different in summer and the like. However, there is a problem that the uniformity is lost.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a chiller is used to cool the entire inside of a hearse, thereby preserving the body by cooling, thereby preventing partial alteration of the body due to partial cooling and cooling the body. The aim is to obtain a hearse cooling device whose storage cost is as low as possible. Therefore, in the present invention, a cool air supply port is provided on one side, and a cool air supply port of a hearse provided with a cool air exhaust port on the other side is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the hearse and has a hollow having a large number of cool air ejection holes. The flammable cool air supply member is provided in communication with the cool air supply port, and the cool air supply port and the cool air exhaust port are connected to a cooler outside the hearse to circulate the air in the hearse through the cooler.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention, a cool air supply port is provided at a lower surface on one side in a longitudinal direction of a hearse, for example, a position of a pillow, and a cool air exhaust port is provided on a lower surface of another side, for example, a position of a foot. The cool air supply port and the cool air exhaust port may be provided on any of the front, rear, left and right surfaces of the hearse, but are preferably provided on both sides of the lower surface in appearance. The cold air supply port is provided with a hollow pillow member having a large number of cold air ejection holes formed on an upper surface thereof. The hollow pillow member communicates with both sides of the pillow member and is disposed along the longitudinally inner side wall of the hearse. A hollow side member having a large number of cold air ejection holes formed on the side surface is arranged to form an outer member, and a thin film bag made of a breathable thin film material is inserted into the entire hollow of the outer member, A cool air supply port is opened in the inner member of the pillow member in the outer member, that is, in the thin film bag, to constitute a combustible cool air supply member. The flammable cold air supply member is made of a flammable material, such as cardboard, cardboard, thin wood, or the like, which absorbs dew condensation caused by cooling the inside of the hearse in order to improve the preservation of the body. This is also made of a flammable thin film material, for example, air-permeable paper, cloth, porous film, etc., so that it can be supplied evenly.

[0007] Here, as a cold air supply member, a hollow outer member composed of a pillow member and a side member, and a hollow outer member formed of a pillow member and a side member in order to minimize dew condensation due to moisture and cooling in the coffin and to uniformly supply cool air. Although it is shown as being composed of two members, a thin film bag, which is a hollow inner member inserted into the outer member of the above, there are various transportation situations such as the material of the hearse and the cool air supply member, the season, the storage period of the body, etc. Accordingly, even if only one member is used, there is no difference.

The cold air supply member is provided so as to be freely inserted into and removed from the inside of the hearse, but when it is made of thin wood, it may be integrally formed with the hearse, In order to mainly perform primary cooling in a place where the progress of the process is fast, it is preferable to increase the number of ejection holes of the cool air supply member at the place. The cool air supply port and the cool air exhaust port are each connected to a cooler movable by a flexible pipe outside the hearse to circulate and cool the air inside the hearse. Therefore, when using this hearse cooling device, put the hearse on the altar, place the cooler at an appropriate place on the back side of the altar, connect it to the power supply, and then activate it, then cool the cooler to the predetermined temperature. The supplied air is supplied into the thin film bag of the pillow member in the hearse, and is also gradually supplied into the thin film bag in the side member, and the air oozing out of the thin film bag is heard through the cool air ejection holes of the pillow member and the side member. Squirting in
The inside of the hearse is cooled to a predetermined temperature.

After cooling the inside of the hearse, the air is returned to the cooler from the cool air exhaust port through a flexible pipe, recooled by the cooler, and supplied again into the thin film bag in the pillow member of the hearse. The cycle repeats. Moisture contained in the air in the hearse is dehumidified by the cooler during the circulation of air, but dew condensation due to cooling of the air in the hearse is absorbed by the pillow member and side members having hygroscopicity, Moisture is eliminated as much as possible. When cremating the corpse, the flexible pipe is removed from the cool air supply port and the cool air exhaust port, and the combustible cold air supply member in the hearse is incinerated with the hearse.

[0011]

According to the present invention, since the body of the hearse is cooled by the cooler without cooling the body inside the hearse by the partial dry ice, even if the body is stored for a long period of time, partial alteration is prevented. It is possible to reduce the cost of cooling and preserving the corpse as much as possible. If the flammable cold air supply member installed in the hearse is made of inexpensive material that is flammable and hygroscopic, such as corrugated cardboard, dew condensation by the cooler can be prevented, and deterioration of the corpse can be prevented, and There is no increase in the cost of cooling and preservation, and there is no hindrance in cremating.

The flammable cold air supply member comprises a hollow outer member and a hollow inner member, and the outer member is provided with a number of cold air ejection holes, and the inner member is flammable and is made of a porous film, cloth or the like. According to the thin film bag having such air permeability, the cool air supply port is communicated with the inside of the thin film bag, and the cool air supplied from the cooler is uniformly supplied to the inside of the hear from a number of cool air ejection holes. Therefore, by appropriately determining the position, the density, and the like of the cool air ejection holes, it is possible to perform cooling according to the cooling location of the corpse.
