Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a storage rack, and more particularly to a bulk storage rack for cremated urns. Background Technology
[0002] A bulk storage rack for cremated urns is a rack composed of multiple storage compartments. Each urn can be placed individually into its compartment, making it convenient for storage. There are now many types of storage racks for cremated urns, each with different functions, such as:
[0003] A cremated urn holder with patent publication number CN114856292A is easy to handle. It includes a support frame, a first outer shell, a placement box, a connecting rod, a flip cover, a handle, a dustproof net, a nameplate, a lifting mechanism, a viewing mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The first outer shell is connected to the middle of the support frame. Inside the first outer shell, five sets of placement boxes for placing cremated urns are slidably connected at intervals. Each set contains at least two boxes. A connecting rod is connected to the front of each placement box. A flip cover is rotatably connected to the connecting rod. A handle is connected to the front of each flip cover. A dustproof net is connected to the top of each placement box. A nameplate is connected to the upper front of each flip cover. Lifting mechanisms for adjusting the standing height of people are provided on the left and right sides of the first outer shell. A viewing mechanism for convenient viewing of information and location of cremated urns is provided on the right side of the lifting mechanism.
[0004] When using the aforementioned urn holder, the urn can be placed inside the storage box for storage. Since the urn holder is exposed to the air, dust in the air easily adheres to the outer wall of the urn holder. At the same time, when storing ashes, dust will also enter the storage box. If there is a lot of dust on the urn holder, it will not only affect the appearance of the outer wall of the urn holder, but also make the inside of the storage box dirty, affecting the storage of urns. Since the urn holder does not have an automatic cleaning function, people currently use cleaning tools to remove the dust, which increases people's workload. Now, a storage rack for bulk urns with an automatic cleaning function is being developed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing urn storage racks that lack automatic cleaning functions, the technical problem to be solved is to provide a bulk storage rack for urns with an automatic cleaning function.
[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A bulk storage rack for cremated urns includes a cremated urn storage rack, a shielding frame, a first lead screw, a first motor, a cleaning mechanism, and a dust-collecting mechanism. The cremated urn storage rack has multiple storage cavities evenly distributed on it. The shielding frame is slidably connected to the upper part of the cremated urn storage rack. The first motor is connected to the upper right rear side of the cremated urn storage rack via screws. The output shaft of the first motor is connected to the first lead screw via a key. The shielding frame on the right side of the first lead screw is threadedly connected. The cremated urn storage rack is equipped with a cleaning mechanism, and the cleaning mechanism is equipped with a dust-collecting mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a second motor, a second lead screw, a fixed frame, a cleaning component, and a guide rod. The second motor is connected to the lower front part of the left side of the ash storage rack via bolts. The upper part of the output shaft of the second motor is connected to the second lead screw. A guide rod is welded to the lower front part of the right side of the ash storage rack. The fixed frame is slidably connected to the guide rod. The left part of the fixed frame is threadedly connected to the second lead screw. A cleaning component is slidably connected inside the fixed frame. The cleaning component consists of a cleaning brush, three sliders, and three elastic elements. The three sliders are slidably connected laterally and evenly at the front of the fixed frame. The cleaning brush is slidably connected between the sliders. Elastic elements are connected to the rear of the cleaning brush and between the three sliders.
[0008] Preferably, the ash-collecting mechanism includes a piston barrel, a piston frame, semi-circular blocks, tension springs, and an ash storage bin. Five piston barrels are evenly connected laterally on the upper part of the fixed frame, and the piston frame is slidably connected between the piston barrels. Five tension springs are connected between the piston frame and the fixed frame. The ash storage bin is bolted to the upper part of the fixed frame and is located above the piston barrels. An exhaust pipe is provided on the upper right side of the ash storage bin. The lower part of the ash storage bin is connected to and communicates with the piston barrel. A second one-way air valve is also connected at the connection between the piston barrel and the ash storage bin. Four semi-circular blocks are evenly connected longitudinally on the front left side of the ash storage rack. The semi-circular blocks and the left side of the piston frame are pressed together.
[0009] Preferably, the device also includes a shaking mechanism for driving the cleaning component to move left and right for cleaning. The shaking mechanism includes a blocking block and a return spring. Five blocking blocks are evenly connected to the front left side of the urn storage rack. The blocking blocks are located to the right of the semicircular block. The blocking blocks and the left side of the cleaning component are pressed together. A return spring is connected between the right side of the cleaning component and the upper right side of the urn storage rack.
[0010] Preferably, the device also includes a dust scraping mechanism, which includes a dust scraper and an electric slide rail. The electric slide rail is connected to the right rear of the fixed frame, and the dust scraper is slidably connected to the rear of the electric slide rail.
[0011] Preferably, it also includes a side wall cleaning mechanism, which includes a cleaning frame and fixing blocks. The top of the ash storage bin is provided with three fixing blocks, and the cleaning frame is slidably connected between the upper parts of the fixing blocks.
[0012] Preferably, it also includes a top wall cleaning mechanism, a top wall cleaning frame and a track, with a track on the upper front of the cleaning frame, and the top wall cleaning frame is slidably connected to the track.

Detailed Implementation
[0032] References to embodiments herein mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] A bulk storage rack for cremated urns, such as Figures 1-2As shown, the device includes a cremated urn storage rack 1, a shielding frame 2, a first lead screw 21, a first motor 22, a cleaning mechanism 3, and a dust-collecting mechanism 4. The cremated urn storage rack 1 has multiple storage cavities evenly distributed on it. The shielding frame 2 is slidably connected to the upper part of the cremated urn storage rack 1. The first motor 22 is connected to the upper right rear side of the cremated urn storage rack 1 by screws. The output shaft of the first motor 22 is connected to the first lead screw 21 by a key. The shielding frame 2 on the right side of the first lead screw 21 is threadedly connected. The cremated urn storage rack 1 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism 3 for cleaning the front surface of the cremated urn storage rack 1. The cleaning mechanism 3 is equipped with a dust-collecting mechanism 4 for collecting dust from the storage cavities inside the cremated urn storage rack 1.
[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a second motor 31, a second lead screw 32, a fixed frame 33, a cleaning component 34, and a guide rod 35. The lower front part of the left side of the ash storage rack 1 is connected to the second motor 31 by bolts. The upper part of the output shaft of the second motor 31 is connected to the second lead screw 32. The lower front part of the right side of the ash storage rack 1 is welded to the guide rod 35. The fixed frame 33 is slidably connected to the guide rod 35. The left part of the fixed frame 33 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 32. The cleaning component 34 is slidably connected inside the fixed frame 33. The cleaning component 34 consists of a cleaning brush, three sliders, and three elastic elements. The front part of the fixed frame 33 is slidably connected to the three sliders. The cleaning brush is slidably connected between the sliders. The rear part of the cleaning brush and the three sliders are connected to elastic elements respectively. The second motor 31 controls the rotation of the second lead screw 32, thereby driving the fixed frame 33 to move up and down, and causing the cleaning component 34 to clean the front part of the ash storage rack 1, thus cleaning off the dust.
[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the dust collection mechanism 4 includes a piston barrel 41, a piston frame 42, a semi-circular block 43, a tension spring 44, and a dust storage bin 45. Five piston barrels 41 are evenly connected laterally on the upper part of the fixed frame 33. Each piston barrel 41 is connected to a first one-way air valve at its rear. The piston frame 42 is slidably connected between the piston barrels 41. Five tension springs 44 are connected between the piston frame 42 and the fixed frame 33. The dust storage bin 45 is bolted to the upper part of the fixed frame 33. An exhaust pipe is provided on the upper right side of the dust storage bin 45. The dust storage bin 45 is located at the piston barrel. Above 41, the lower part of the ash storage bucket 45 is connected and communicates with the piston bucket 41. A second one-way air valve is also connected at the connection between the piston bucket 41 and the ash storage bucket 45. Four semi-circular blocks 43 are evenly connected longitudinally on the left front part of the ash storage rack 1. The semi-circular blocks 43 and the left part of the piston frame 42 are pressed together. When the fixed frame 33 moves up and down, it will drive the piston frame 42 to move up and down. The piston frame 42 and the semi-circular blocks 43 are intermittently pressed together, which allows the piston frame 42 to move forward continuously to extract air and draw the dust into the ash storage bucket 45 for collection.
[0037] After the urn is placed into the storage cavity of the urn storage rack 1, it can be stored away. Over time, dust accumulates on the front surface and inside the storage cavity of the urn storage rack 1, affecting both its appearance and the cleanliness of the storage cavity. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the urn storage rack 1 regularly. The process involves first removing the urn, then controlling the output shaft of the first motor 22 to rotate forward, causing the first lead screw 21 to rotate forward, which moves the shielding frame 2 backward. At this point, the shielding frame 2 no longer obstructs the view below the fixed frame 33. Then, the first motor 22 can be turned off, and the control... The output shaft of the second motor 31 rotates in both directions, causing the second lead screw 32 to rotate in both directions as well. The second lead screw 32 drives the fixed frame 33 to move up and down, which in turn drives the cleaning component 34 to move up and down. The cleaning component 34 cleans the dust in front of the urn storage rack 1, and the dust falls downwards, thus achieving the purpose of cleaning the front of the urn storage rack 1. At the same time, the piston frame 42 and the piston barrel 41 also move downwards and upwards. When the left side of the piston frame 42 contacts the semi-circular block 43, the piston frame 42 moves forward, and the tension spring 44 is stretched. This causes the piston frame 42 to pump air, which can dislodge the dust raised in front of the urn storage rack 1. Dust and dust in the storage chamber are extracted. Due to the first one-way valve, the gas drawn into the piston barrel 41 will not be discharged from the rear of the piston barrel 41 again. Therefore, when the left side of the piston frame 42 separates from the semi-circular block 43, the tension spring 44 will cause the piston frame 42 to move backward and reset, discharging the dust and gas in the piston barrel 41 into the dust storage bin 45. Moreover, under the action of the second one-way valve, the dust and gas in the dust storage bin 45 will not be discharged back into the piston barrel 41. In this way, the dust will be collected in the dust storage bin 45. A small amount of water can be injected into the dust storage bin 45 through the exhaust pipe, which can suppress the dust. The trachea allows the gas drawn into the ash storage bin 45 to be expelled. By repeating the above operation, the front of the ash storage rack 1 can be cleaned while the dust raised and the dust inside the storage cavity are extracted and collected. This achieves the purpose of cleaning the ash storage rack 1 and improves its aesthetics and cleanliness. After cleaning is completed, once the fixing frame 33 and its components are all moved to the highest point, the output shaft of the first motor 22 can be reversed, thereby causing the shielding frame 2 to move forward and reset. In this way, the shielding frame 2 can once again shield the fixing frame 33, thus preventing the fixing frame 33 from affecting people's normal use of the ash storage rack 1.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, it also includes a shaking mechanism 5 for driving the cleaning component 34 to move left and right for cleaning. The shaking mechanism 5 includes a blocking block 51 and a return spring 52. Five blocking blocks 51 are evenly connected to the front left part of the urn storage rack 1. The blocking blocks 51 are located to the right of the semicircular block 43. The blocking blocks 51 and the left part of the cleaning component 34 are pressed together. The right part of the cleaning component 34 and the upper right part of the urn storage rack 1 are connected by a return spring 52. When the cleaning component 34 moves down and intermittently presses against the blocking block 51, it will drive the cleaning component 34 to move left and right intermittently to enhance cleaning.
[0040] When the cleaning component 34 moves up and down and contacts the blocking block 51, it will be squeezed by the blocking block 51, which will cause the cleaning component 34 to move to the right. The return spring 52 will be compressed. When the cleaning component 34 and the blocking block 51 separate, the cleaning component 34 will move to the left to reset under the action of the return spring 52. Repeating the above operation will cause the cleaning component 34 to move left and right continuously. In this way, the cleaning component 34 can clean the firmly attached impurities on the urn storage rack 1, which can improve the cleaning power and cleaning efficiency.
[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a dust scraping mechanism 6 for scraping off the dust on the cleaning component 34 and the dust in front of the urn storage rack 1. The dust scraping mechanism 6 includes a dust scraper 61 and an electric slide rail 62. The electric slide rail 62 is connected to the right rear of the fixed frame 33, and the dust scraper 61 is slidably connected to the rear of the electric slide rail 62.
[0042] During the cleaning process of the cleaning component 34, the scraper 61 can be moved up and down by the electric slide rail 62. The scraper 61 can scrape down the residual dust at the front of the urn storage rack 1. When the scraper 61 presses against the cleaning component 34, it will cause the cleaning brush of the cleaning component 34 to move forward and the elastic element to deform. When the scraper 61 does not press against the cleaning component 34, the cleaning brush of the cleaning component 34 will move backward and reset under the action of the elastic element. In this way, the scraper 61 can also scrape off the dust on the cleaning brush of the cleaning component 34. This can achieve the purpose of dust removal and prevent the cleaning brush of the cleaning component 34 from being contaminated with a lot of dust, which would affect the cleaning of the urn storage rack 1. When not in use, the electric slide rail 62 can be turned off.
[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, it also includes a side wall cleaning mechanism 7 for removing dust from the inner side wall of the storage cavity. The side wall cleaning mechanism 7 includes a cleaning frame 71 and a fixing block 72. Three fixing blocks 72 are provided on the top of the ash storage bucket 45, and the cleaning frame 71 is slidably connected between the upper parts of the fixing blocks 72.
[0044] If it is necessary to thoroughly clean the dust inside the storage cavity, the second motor 31 can be turned off when the dust collection bucket 45 and the cleaning frame 71 have moved to the front of the storage cavity. In this way, the dust collection bucket 45 and the cleaning frame 71 will stop in front of the storage cavity, and people can manually move the cleaning frame 71 back and forth so that the cleaning frame 71 extends into the storage cavity. By continuously moving the cleaning frame 71 back and forth, the dust on the inner wall of the storage cavity can be cleaned. After cleaning, the cleaning frame 71 is pulled forward to the frontmost side, and then the movement of the dust collection bucket 45 and the cleaning frame 71 can be continued.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 13 As shown, it also includes a top wall cleaning mechanism 8 for cleaning the inner top wall of the storage cavity, a top wall cleaning frame 81 and a track 82. The cleaning frame 71 is provided with a track 82 at the upper front, and the top wall cleaning frame 81 is slidably connected to the track 82.
[0046] When the cleaning frame 71 extends into the storage cavity, it will also drive the top wall cleaning frame 81 to extend in. When the top wall cleaning frame 81 is located on the inner top wall of the storage cavity, the top wall cleaning frame 81 can be controlled to move left and right continuously, so as to automatically clean the inner top wall of the storage cavity.
[0047] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the content described in the claims of the present invention should be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
