Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of urn storage rack technology, and more particularly to an intelligent urn storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and the continuous increase in population, land resources are becoming increasingly scarce. According to the old burial customs, the dead would occupy a lot of land. Now, burial is gradually being replaced by cremation, and the urns after cremation are usually stored in storage racks.

[0003] Currently, the number of shelves for storing ashes is increasing, with some even exceeding 10 layers. Administrators of these shelves need to regularly clean and inspect the urns, requiring them to climb stairs to check each one individually, resulting in low efficiency. During the Qingming Festival, many people come to pay their respects, and often forget to close the urn doors afterward, forcing administrators to climb up and close them for them, significantly increasing their workload.

[0004] According to local culture and traditions, the area around the urn containing ashes is often decorated with flowers, photos, candles, incense burners, books, ornaments, and personal belongings frequently used by the deceased. When relatives and friends come to pay their respects, they only need to see the urn; there's no need to display everything inside. However, current urn storage shelves only have one door; opening the door reveals the entire contents.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a columbarium storage rack with an automatic opening / closing mechanism that can be operated from below, making it convenient for administrators to clean and check regularly, reducing their workload and improving work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems of existing urn storage racks where the storage compartments cannot be automatically opened / closed from the bottom, resulting in high workload and low efficiency for administrators, and exposing all items inside the compartments to visitors when the doors are opened, this invention provides an intelligent urn storage rack. By incorporating interlocking large and small doors, visitors only need to open the small door to pay their respects to the urn placed in the center, without seeing any other items placed outside the urn. Furthermore, by incorporating an intelligent controller, a first worm gear reducer, and a second worm gear reducer, administrators can operate the controller from the bottom of the urn storage rack. This allows for the automatic opening and closing of any compartment's large or small door, facilitating regular cleaning or inspections and significantly improving administrator efficiency and reducing workload.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an intelligent urn storage rack, comprising a rack body with a plurality of storage boxes arranged in an array for storing urns. The storage box comprises a large door and a small door.
