Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of ash sorting crematorium machines, and more specifically, it relates to a single-bed tilting and cooling ash sorting crematorium machine and a cooling treatment method. Background Technology

[0002] Existing crematoriums are classified into two types according to the type of cremation surface: flat-plate crematoriums and ash-collecting crematoriums. In flat-plate crematoriums, the cremation surface is fixed, and the body enters the furnace through the furnace opening. After cremation, the ashes are collected and placed in the coffin at the other end of the crematorium. In ash-collecting crematoriums, the cremation surface is movable. The body enters the furnace through the furnace opening along with the movable cremation surface. After cremation, the ashes are returned to the preparation room through the furnace opening along with the cremation surface. After cooling, they are placed in the ash-collecting area outside the preparation door, where the furnace operator or family members collect the ashes and place them in the coffin.

[0003] Currently, there are two types of cooling mechanisms in crematoriums. One type has a cooling chamber between the transport bed and the main body of the cremator, which is equipped with a cooling lifting mechanism to cool down the remains. However, due to the presence of the cooling chamber, the cremator occupies a large area and has a high cost. The other type has a cooling hood above the pit surface. However, the cooling hood lacks a protective mechanism, and there is a risk that the cooling hood will fall when the furnace operator is collecting ash and preparing the body, which is unsafe. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a single-bed tilting cooling ash sorting cremator and a cooling treatment method.

[0005] To this end, the present invention provides a single-bed tilting and cooling ash-collecting cremator, including a cremator body, a transport bed provided outside the cremator body, the transport bed including a pit surface, a cooling cover placed on one side of the pit surface, a tilting mechanism connected to the cooling cover, and a cooling mechanism placed on the other side of the pit surface; The flipping mechanism includes a support frame, a cooling bracket, a swing arm, a synchronous shaft, and a first drive assembly.

The swing arm is connected to the two ends of the synchronous shaft located on the outer side of the support frame. The swing arm is connected to the cooling bracket through a guide wheel. The cooling bracket is connected to a cooling cover. The support frame has a wheel groove that mates with the guide wheel. The first drive assembly is located between the two support plates and is connected to the synchronous shaft.

[0006] Preferably, the other end of the rocker arm is provided with a long slot that mates with the guide wheel.

[0007] Preferably, the first drive assembly is provided with a first drive motor, the first drive motor is connected to a first reducer, the first reducer is fixed on the base, the output end of the first reducer is connected to a first drive wheel, the side end of the first base is provided with a first driven wheel that meshes with the first drive wheel, the first driven wheel is connected to a second driven wheel through a concentric shaft, and a third driven wheel that meshes with the second driven wheel is provided on the synchronous shaft.

[0008] Preferably, a first guardrail and a second guardrail are provided on both sides of the pit surface, and the cooling cover is located on the outside of the first guardrail.

[0009] Preferably, the cooling mechanism includes vents, ventilation channels, and ventilation pipes. Multiple vents are provided and evenly distributed on the second guardrail. A ventilation channel is formed inside the second guardrail, and the ventilation channel is connected to the ventilation pipes.

[0010] Preferably, a transmission mechanism is provided below the pit surface. The transmission mechanism includes a first transmission component, a second transmission component, and a drive component. The first transmission component has a base frame with multiple connecting ears symmetrically distributed on the base frame. Two opposite connecting ears are connected by a transmission rod, and each transmission rod has a transmission roller.

[0011] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a second drive motor, and a second reducer is provided below the second drive motor. The output end of the second reducer is connected to the drive shaft. The drive shaft and the transmission rod closest to the cremator body, as well as two adjacent transmission rods, are all connected through a second transmission assembly. The second transmission assembly includes a second drive wheel, a fourth driven wheel, and a chain.

[0012] Meanwhile, this invention provides a cooling treatment method for a single-bed tilting cooling ash-collecting cremator, the specific steps of which are as follows: (1) After cremation is completed, the second drive motor starts and drives the drive shaft to rotate. Through multiple second transmission components, it drives multiple transmission rods to rotate, thereby causing the transmission rollers on the transmission rods to rotate and move the pit surface out of the cremator body. (2) The first drive motor starts, the first drive mechanism drives the synchronous shaft to rotate, the synchronous shaft drives the swing arm to swing, the guide wheel moves along the wheel groove curve, and at the same time the cooling bracket drives the cooling cover to flip over to the top of the pit surface and cover the pit surface; (3) When the external fan is started, the hot air and smoke from the ashes are discharged from multiple ventilation openings through ventilation channels and ventilation pipes; (4) After cooling and dust treatment are completed, the first drive mechanism drives the synchronous shaft to rotate, the synchronous shaft drives the swing arm to swing, the guide wheel moves along the wheel groove curve, and at the same time the cooling bracket drives the cooling cover to be stored outside the first guardrail.

Through the coordination of the cooling system, cooling hood, and tilting mechanism, firstly, it achieves both cooling and smoke / exhaust gas treatment, improving the efficiency of cremated remains processing without requiring a separate exhaust gas treatment device; secondly, during cooling, the cooling hood covers the pit surface, improving cooling efficiency and preventing smoke / exhaust from being inhaled by the furnace operator, thus enhancing the safety of cremated remains processing. Furthermore, the tilting mechanism facilitates the storage and placement of the cooling hood. Thirdly, by integrating the cooling hood, tilting mechanism, and cooling system into the transport bed, the overall footprint of the cremator is reduced, thus lowering costs. Furthermore, the integration of the cooling system with the transport bed prevents the cooling hood from falling due to the lack of protective mechanisms when the stoker is collecting ashes, further enhancing safety during ash disposal. Fourthly, after the stoker has collected and placed the ashes into the coffin, a small amount of smoke and odor may remain on the surface of the transport bed. This can be removed using the cooling system, eliminating the need for a separate cleaning system or personnel, making it efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0017] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly or indirectly attached to that other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly or indirectly connected to that other element. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0018] The present application will now describe a single-bed tilting cooling ash-collecting crematorium provided in its embodiments. For example... Figure 1-2 As shown, a single-bed tilting and cooling ash-collecting cremator includes a cremator body 1, a transport bed 2 outside the cremator body 1, a pit surface 3, a cooling hood 4 placed on one side of the pit surface 3, a tilting mechanism connected to the cooling hood 4, and a cooling mechanism placed on the other side of the pit surface 3. The pit surface 3 is used to place the remains and the ashes after cremation. The tilting mechanism is used to control the tilting of the cooling hood 4 so that it covers the pit surface 3. The cooling mechanism is used to cool the ashes and treat the soot.

[0019] Specifically, such as Figure 3-4As shown, the tilting mechanism includes a support frame 5, a cooling bracket 11, a swing rod 8, a synchronous shaft 7, and a first drive assembly. Two support frames 5 are provided, respectively located on the front and rear sides of the transport bed 2. The two support frames 5 are connected by the synchronous shaft 7. The two ends of the synchronous shaft 7 located on the outer side of the support frame 5 are connected to the swing rod 8. The swing rod 8 is connected to the cooling bracket 11 via guide wheels 10. The cooling bracket 11 is connected to the cooling cover 4. The support frame 5 has wheel grooves 6 that mate with the guide wheels 10. The first drive assembly is located between the two support plates and connected to the synchronous shaft 7. Figure 9 As shown, the first drive assembly drives the synchronous shaft 7 to rotate, the synchronous shaft 7 drives the swing arm 8 to swing, the guide wheel 10 moves along the curve of the wheel groove 6, and at the same time the cooling bracket 11 drives the cooling cover 4 to flip over the pit surface 3, covering the pit surface 3.

[0020] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the other end of the swing arm 8 is provided with a long slot 9 for the guide wheel 10 to slide. The design of the long slot 9 allows the swing arm 8 to give the guide wheel 10 a certain displacement during the swing process, which facilitates the cooling bracket 11 to drive the cooling cover 4 to flip.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first drive assembly includes a first drive motor 12, which is connected to a first reducer. The first reducer is fixed on a base 29. The output end of the first reducer is connected to a first drive wheel 13. A first driven wheel 14, meshing with the first drive wheel 13, is located on the side of the first base 29. The first driven wheel 14 is connected to a second driven wheel 15 via a concentric shaft. A third driven wheel 16, meshing with the second driven wheel 15, is located on the synchronous shaft 7. The first drive motor 12 drives the first drive wheel 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the first driven wheel 14 to rotate. Since the first driven wheel 14 and the second driven wheel 15 are connected via a concentric shaft, the rotation of the first driven wheel 14 is accompanied by the rotation of the second driven wheel 15, which in turn drives the third driven wheel 16 to rotate, causing the synchronous shaft 7 to rotate. This allows the cooling cover 4 to be flipped and stored.

[0022] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2-3, a first guardrail 17 and a second guardrail 18 are provided on both sides of the pit surface 3, a cooling cover 4 is provided on the outside of the first guardrail 17, and a cooling mechanism is provided at the second guardrail 18.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 6-7 As shown, the cooling mechanism includes vents 19, ventilation channels 20, and ventilation pipes 21. Multiple vents 19 are provided and evenly distributed at the upper end of the second guardrail 18. The second guardrail 18 is hollow inside and communicates with multiple vents 19 to form ventilation channels 20. The lower end of the first guardrail 17 is connected to the ventilation pipes 21, and the other end of the ventilation pipes 21 is connected to an external fan.

[0024] When the external fan is turned on, the hot air and smoke from the cremated remains on the pit surface 3 are sequentially drawn away through multiple ventilation openings 19, ventilation channels 20 and ventilation ducts 21. By combining the cooling mechanism, cooling hood 4, and tilting mechanism, firstly, it achieves both cooling and smoke / exhaust gas treatment, improving the efficiency of cremated remains processing without the need for a separate exhaust gas treatment device; secondly, during cooling, the cooling hood 4 covers the pit surface 3, improving cooling efficiency and preventing smoke / exhaust gas from being inhaled by the stoker, thus enhancing the safety of cremated remains processing, and the tilting mechanism also facilitates the storage and placement of the cooling hood 4; thirdly, by placing the cooling hood 4, tilting mechanism, and cooling mechanism all within the transport bed 2, it saves the overall floor space of the crematorium, reducing costs, and the integration of the cooling mechanism with the transport bed 2 also avoids the risk of the cooling hood 4 falling due to the lack of protective measures when the stoker is handling the ashes, further improving the safety of cremated remains processing; fourthly, after the stoker has finished handling the ashes and preparing the body, a small amount of smoke and odor may remain on the pit surface 3 of the transport bed 2, which can be removed using the cooling mechanism, eliminating the need for a separate cleaning mechanism or personnel, saving costs, and ensuring high efficiency, safety, and environmental friendliness.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the transport bed 2 is also equipped with a transmission mechanism located below the pit surface 3. The transmission mechanism is used to send the remains into the cremator body 1 for cremation and to send the cremated ashes to the outside of the cremator body 1.

[0026] Specifically, the transmission mechanism includes a first transmission component, a second transmission component, and a second drive component. The first transmission component includes a base frame 22, with both ends of the base frame 22 connected to two support plates respectively. Multiple connecting ears are symmetrically distributed on the base frame 22, and two opposite connecting ears are connected by a transmission rod 23. Each transmission rod 23 has a transmission roller 24 near the connecting ear.

[0027] The second drive assembly is located inside the cremator body 1. The second drive assembly includes a second drive motor 25. A second reducer is located below the first drive motor 12. The output end of the second reducer is connected to the drive shaft 30. The drive shaft 30 is fixed inside the cremator body 1 by a fixing seat 31. The drive shaft 30 and the transmission rod 23 closest to the cremator body 1 are connected by the second transmission assembly. Adjacent transmission rods 23 are also connected by the second transmission assembly. The second transmission assembly includes a second driving wheel 26, a fourth driven wheel 27, and a chain 28.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 8As shown, a second driving wheel 26 is provided on the drive shaft 30, and a fourth driven wheel 27 is provided on the transmission rod 23 closest to the cremator body 1. The second driving wheel 26 and the fourth driven wheel 27 are connected by a chain 28. When the second drive motor 25 starts, it drives the drive shaft 30 to rotate. Through multiple second transmission components, multiple transmission rods 23 are driven, thereby causing the transmission rollers 24 on the transmission rods 23 to rotate, moving the pit surface 3 inside or outside the cremator body 1.

[0029] Meanwhile, this invention provides a cooling treatment method for a single-bed tilting cooling ash-collecting cremator, the specific steps of which are as follows: (1) After cremation is completed, the second drive motor 25 starts and drives the drive shaft 30 to rotate. Through multiple second transmission components, multiple transmission rods 23 are driven, thereby causing the transmission rollers 24 on the transmission rods 23 to rotate and move the pit surface 3 out of the cremator body 1. (2) The first drive motor 12 starts, the first drive assembly drives the synchronous shaft 7 to rotate, the synchronous shaft 7 drives the swing arm 8 to swing, the guide wheel 10 moves along the wheel groove 6 curve, and at the same time the cooling bracket 11 drives the cooling cover 4 to flip over to the top of the pit surface 3, covering the pit surface 3; (3) When the external fan is started, the hot air and smoke from the ashes are discharged from multiple ventilation openings 19 through ventilation channels 20 and ventilation pipes 21; (4) After cooling and dust removal are completed, the first drive assembly drives the synchronous shaft 7 to rotate, the synchronous shaft 7 drives the swing arm 8 to swing, the guide wheel 10 moves along the wheel groove 6 curve, and at the same time the cooling bracket 11 drives the cooling cover 4 to be stored outside the first guardrail 17.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
