Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of burial equipment, in particular to a planet-type burial. Background Art
[0002] Traditional burial methods have problems such as large land occupation and poor environmental protection. With the development of society and the change of people's concepts, the demand for new burial methods that save land, are environmentally friendly and have emotional connotations is increasing. The burial facilities currently on the market are insufficient in terms of space utilization, intelligence, and the ability to carry and express the emotions of the deceased, and cannot fully meet the diversified needs of modern society for burial services. For example, traditional cemeteries waste a lot of land resources, have a single form, lack the unique experience brought by the integration of technology and art, and it is difficult to provide the living with deep emotional sustenance and commemoration methods. Therefore, the development of a new type of burial device that achieves the unity of land saving and environmental protection, technological empowerment, humanistic care and artistic beauty has become an urgent problem to be solved in the burial field. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a planetary burial to solve the drawbacks of traditional burial methods, achieve efficient use of land resources and practice of environmental protection concepts, while meeting the living's need to express their emotions to the deceased, and enhance the sense of technology, art and humanistic care of burial.
[0004] The above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: a planet-shaped burial, comprising a support column, a spherical burial area is provided on the support column, and a plurality of grids for storing ash containers are distributed on the spherical burial area.
[0005] Furthermore, the grids are evenly distributed along the longitude and latitude directions of the spherical burial area. This distribution makes the entire spherical burial area more regular and is also convenient for management and finding specific grids.
[0006] Furthermore, a transparent panel is provided at the opening of the grid. The provision of the transparent panel can facilitate family members to intuitively see the situation inside the grid and enhance the emotional connection with the deceased.
[0007] Furthermore, a partition is installed within the grid, with the rear side of the partition serving as a storage space for the urn, and the space between the front side of the partition and the transparent panel serving as a display space for burial objects. This design provides both a safe storage space for the urn and an area for family members to place burial objects, satisfying their need to express their affection for the deceased.
[0008] Furthermore, the front of the partition is provided with any one or more of a photo posting area, a text content posting area, a QR code posting area, and an NFC tag posting area. Family members can post photos of the deceased in the photo posting area and write words of remembrance for the deceased in the text content posting area. By scanning the QR code or reading the NFC tag, they can obtain more information about the deceased, thereby increasing the interactivity with the deceased.
[0009] Furthermore, a display screen is installed in the middle or one side of the partition, connected to the host computer via a wire. Alternatively, a display screen is installed within the grid, not only serving as a partition but also providing a larger display area. The display screen is connected to the host computer via a wire. The rear side of the display screen is used to store urns, and the space between the front of the display screen and the transparent panel is used to display burial objects. The display screen can display photos, videos, and other stories of the deceased. In combination with AI interactive technology, it can respond to questions or instructions from family members with the deceased's voice or image, enhancing emotional resonance.
[0010] Furthermore, the transparent panel is made of natural transparent crystal panel, which has high transparency and aesthetics and can enhance the overall artistic sense of the burial area.
[0011] Furthermore, the spherical burial area adopts a stainless steel frame structure, which has the advantages of high strength and corrosion resistance, and can ensure the stability and durability of the burial area.
[0012] Furthermore, one side of the spherical burial area is equipped with a removable, mobile ladder frame. The frame is equipped with wheels with floor brakes, allowing for flexible adjustment based on actual needs, making it convenient for families to perform tomb-sweeping activities in varying weather and lighting conditions. The ladder frame also features a roof for sunshade or rain protection, creating a more comfortable environment for family members to perform tomb-sweeping activities.
[0013] Furthermore, a fresh air system is provided in the spherical burial area, and the fresh air system includes an air supply duct and a return air duct, as well as a fresh air channel formed by interconnecting a plurality of grids for storing ash containers distributed on the spherical burial area through vents. Silver ion ventilation filters are provided at the vents, and an air inlet connected to the air supply duct is provided at the front end of the fresh air channel, and a return air port connected to the return air duct is provided at the end.
[0014] Furthermore, there is at least one fresh air channel.
[0015] When paying respects to the deceased, family members approach the device and activate the electronic screen through the NFC function of their mobile phone or by scanning a QR code. The screen then plays photos, videos and other deeds of the deceased. The AI interactive technology can respond to the family members' questions or instructions with the deceased's voice or image, enhancing emotional resonance.
[0016] In the present invention, the connection control relationship between the display screen and the host is:
[0017] In this planet-type burial, the display screen in each grid is connected to the host computer through a wire. The wire uses a cable with good signal transmission capability, which can stably transmit data and control signals.
[0018] The main unit houses a dedicated display control module, responsible for managing the operation of each display. When a family member initiates a tomb sweeping operation, such as using a mobile phone's NFC function or scanning a QR code, the command is first transmitted to the main unit. Upon receiving the command, the display control module quickly identifies the corresponding grid number and operation.
[0019] The host computer then retrieves photos, text, and other information related to the deceased person in that cell from its internal storage device according to a pre-set program. This information is encoded into a signal format that the display screen can recognize and transmitted via wires to the corresponding display screen. After receiving the signal, the display screen begins playing the corresponding content according to the host computer's instructions, such as displaying photos or text messages.
[0020] During playback, the console's display control module monitors the display's operating status in real time, such as whether it's displaying normally or experiencing any malfunctions. If an anomaly is detected, the console promptly issues a corresponding control signal to attempt to repair or adjust the display. If the problem can't be fixed, the console records the fault information for subsequent maintenance personnel to address.
[0021] In the present invention, the connection control relationship between the host and the server is:
[0022] The host and server are connected via a wired network (such as Ethernet) or a wireless network (such as 5G or Wi-Fi). The server is usually located in a data center or the computer room of a burial management department, serving as the data storage and management core of the entire system.
[0023] The host has data synchronization and request functions. Periodically, the host synchronizes data with the server. During synchronization, the host uploads locally stored records of family members' actions (such as tomb sweeping time and operation content) to the server and simultaneously downloads the latest updates on the deceased's data from the server, ensuring that the locally stored data is up-to-date and complete.
[0024] When the host receives a family member's tomb sweeping request and needs to retrieve more multimedia information about the deceased (such as large files like videos), due to its limited local storage space, it sends a data request to the server. Upon receiving the request, the server searches its vast storage devices for the relevant information and transmits it to the host via the network. The host then processes the received information and sends it to the corresponding display screen for playback.
[0025] The server can also remotely control and manage the host. For example, the server can send system update instructions, parameter adjustment instructions, etc. to the host. After receiving these instructions, the host will perform the corresponding operations as required to ensure the normal operation and functional upgrade of the entire planet-type burial system.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] 1. Space-saving and environmentally friendly: The spherical burial area features a planet-like design, with multiple grids arranged in an orderly pattern. Resembling a mysterious planet in the vast starry sky, the deceased feels as if embarking on an interstellar journey. Compared to traditional cemeteries, this significantly conserves land resources and effectively implements environmental protection. This innovative burial allows life to continue in space, while also allowing the Earth to carry more green hope.
[0028] 2. Technological empowerment: Through display screens, QR codes, NFC tags, and AI interactive technologies, technological elements are added to burial services, allowing family members to interact with the deceased in a more modern way, meeting people's demand for technological and intelligent burial services.

[0042] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] Example 1:
[0044] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a planetary burial comprises a support column 1 and a spherical burial area 2. The lower end of the support column 1 can be fixed to a concrete foundation, which can be buried or placed above ground. The support column 1 supports the spherical burial area 2. The surface of the spherical burial area 2 is regularly distributed with multiple grids 3 for storing urns 7. The grids 3 are evenly arranged along the longitude and latitude of the spherical burial area 2, ensuring a regular overall layout and facilitating daily management and quick location by family members. Each grid 3 opening is covered with a transparent panel 4, allowing family members to visually inspect the interior and strengthen their emotional connection with the deceased. A partition 5 is provided inside the grid 3, dividing the space into two parts. The rear side of the partition 5 serves as a storage space 8 for the urn, while the front side and the transparent panel 4 form a display space 9 for burial objects. This not only safely stores the urn 7 but also meets the family's need to express their grief. The front of the partition 5 features one or more areas for posting photos, text, QR codes, and NFC tags. Family members can post photos of the deceased, write messages of remembrance, and access more information about the deceased by scanning codes or using NFC sensors. A display screen 6 is installed in the middle or on one side of the partition 5 within some or all of the grids 3, connected to a host computer via wires. Furthermore, the transparent panel 4 is made of natural, transparent crystal, enhancing the artistic quality. The spherical burial area 2 utilizes a stainless steel frame for stability and durability. A removable, movable ladder frame is installed on one side of the spherical burial area. Wheels with floor brakes allow for flexible adjustment, and a canopy provides shade and shelter from the sun and rain.
[0045] like Figures 6 to 10 As shown, to facilitate ventilation within the spherical burial area, a fresh air system is provided within the spherical burial area. The system includes a supply air duct 10 and a return air duct 11. Multiple compartments for storing urns distributed throughout the spherical burial area 2 are interconnected through vents 15 to form a fresh air channel. Each vent 15 is equipped with a silver ion ventilation filter 16. The fresh air channel is provided with an air inlet 12 connected to the supply air duct at the front end and a return air duct 13 connected to the return air duct at the rear end. If multiple fresh air channels are provided, the supply air duct connects to the air inlet 12 of each fresh air channel via a branch duct 14. The return air ducts 13 of each fresh air channel can be connected individually to the return air duct 11 or collectively to the return air duct 11 via a converging duct 17.
[0046] In actual use, a spherical burial system was implemented at a particular burial site as an example: during the site planning phase, the spherical burial area was rationally laid out, and the surrounding landscaping was carefully integrated to create a tranquil and solemn atmosphere. When a deceased person is buried, staff properly place the urn 7 in the urn storage space 8 of the grid 3. Family members can post photos of the deceased in the photo posting area of the partition 5, write words of remembrance in the text posting area, and display the deceased's favorite items in the burial object display space 9.
[0047] During tomb sweeping, family members push or move the ladder to the desired position and secure it with the floor brake. The ladder is covered with a roof to provide shade and rain protection. Family members approach grid 3 and use their phone's NFC function or scan a QR code to activate the electronic screen, which then displays photos, videos, and other memories of the deceased. AI interactive technology responds to family members' questions or instructions by simulating the deceased's voice or image, greatly enhancing emotional resonance.
[0048] During long-term use, thanks to the stainless steel frame structure and natural transparent crystal panels of the spherical burial area 2, the planetary burial does not require frequent maintenance, significantly reduces operating costs, and continues to provide families with a stable, beautiful and emotionally rich memorial space.
[0049] To sum up, the planetary burial of this embodiment achieves the organic unity of land conservation and environmental protection, technological empowerment, humanistic care and artistic beauty with its innovative structural design and functional configuration, providing a new solution with great application prospects for modern burial services.
[0050] Example 2:
[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a planetary burial comprises support columns 1 and a spherical burial area 2. Multiple grids 3 for urns 7 are distributed evenly along the longitudinal and latitudinal directions. The openings of the grids 3 are provided with transparent panels 4, with display screens 6 installed inside as partitions. The rear side of the display screen 6 is used to store the urns 7, while the space between the front and the transparent panel 4 is a display space 9 for burial objects. The display screen 6 is connected to a host computer via a wire, capable of playing video footage of the deceased during his or her lifetime. Using AI interactive technology, the display screen 6 can simulate the deceased's voice and visual responses to family members. The transparent panel 4 is made of natural clear crystal, and the spherical burial area 2 utilizes a stainless steel frame structure. It is also equipped with a removable, movable ladder frame with a roof and wheels with floor brakes.
[0052] In actual use, at a certain burial site, the planet-shaped burial system complements the surrounding greenery, creating a tranquil and solemn environment.
