Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an urn for sea burial. Background Art

[0002] An urn is a container used to store the ashes of the deceased after their body is cremated.

[0003] For example, the urn recorded in the patent document with the Chinese patent publication number CN209253483U is a relatively common urn style at present, which includes a box body and a box cover. The box body is provided with an opening, and the inside of the box body is a hollow structure for storing ashes.

[0004] Sea burial is a form of funeral in which ashes are buried in the ocean. With the gradual change of concepts, sea burial is slowly being accepted by people; however, in the traditional urn style, there will still be a certain cavity inside the hollow structure after the ashes are put in. After the urn is thrown into the ocean, the urn with a cavity inside is likely to fail to sink to the bottom of the sea and float on the sea surface; the urn floating on the sea surface will cause various problems such as an unpleasant visual experience for the sailors who encounter it. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a technical solution for an urn for sea burial aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, which can ensure that the urn sinks smoothly to the bottom of the sea after being thrown into the ocean and avoid the situation that the urn floats on the sea surface.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] An urn for sea burial includes

[0008] a box body, the inside of which forms a receiving space for placing ashes;

[0009] a box bottom, which is used to close the receiving space at the bottom of the box body;

[0010] a box cover, which is used to close the receiving space at the top of the box body;

[0011] A number of water inlet channels are formed between the box bottom and the box body. The water inlet channels are used to allow sea water to seep into the receiving space, so as to realize the smooth sinking of the urn.

[0012] By adopting the above technical scheme, after the urn is thrown into the ocean, sea water can seep into the receiving space through the water inlet channels. After the voids in the receiving space are filled with sea water, there is no cavity inside the urn and the overall weight increases, so that it can sink to the bottom of the sea more smoothly and avoid the situation that the urn floats on the sea surface.

[0013] Further, the bottom of the box is movably connected to the box body, and the water inlet channel is formed at the joint between the bottom of the box and the box body.

[0014] Further, a bearing platform is formed inwardly at the bottom of the box body, and a through hole adapted to the bottom of the box is formed on the bearing platform; a second flange is formed outwardly on the bottom of the box. When the bottom of the box is fitted through the through hole, the lower surface of the second flange can abut against the upper surface of the bearing platform to form a limit between the bottom of the box and the box body.

[0015] Further, a first gap is formed between the bottom of the box and the through hole, and a second gap is formed between the second flange and the inner side wall of the accommodating space; a plurality of cushion blocks are connected between the bearing platform and the second flange, and a third gap is formed between the cushion blocks. The cushion blocks can lift the second flange on the bearing platform, so that the first gap, the second gap and the third gap are communicated to form a water inlet channel.

[0016] Further, the cushion blocks are formed between the circumferential side of the bottom of the box and the second flange, and a second groove is formed on the upper surface of the bearing platform. When the second flange is buckled on the upper surface of the bearing platform, the cushion blocks are located in the second groove and are correspondingly matched with it; the cushion blocks protrude from the second groove.

[0017] Further, a first flange is formed at the top edge of the box body, and a first groove corresponding to the first flange is formed on the inner side wall of the box cover. The box cover is stably covered relative to the box body through the cooperation of the first flange and the first groove.

[0018] Further, a first chamfer is formed at the connection between the lower edge of the box cover and the first groove, and a first inverted arc surface adapted to the first chamfer is formed at the connection between the top edge of the box body and the first flange. The first chamfer and the first inverted arc surface correspond to each other.

[0019] Further, a second chamfer is formed between the bottom and the side wall of the box body.

[0020] Further, a second accommodating space is formed inside the box cover.

[0021] Further, the box body, the bottom of the box and the box cover are all made of starch-based environmentally friendly materials.

[0022] The utility model has the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the above technical solutions:

[0023] 1. By forming a water inlet channel between the bottom of the box and the box body, the utility model enables seawater to seep into the accommodating space of the urn through the water inlet channel after the urn is put into the ocean. The voids in the accommodating space of the urn are filled with seawater, so that the urn can sink to the bottom of the sea more smoothly, avoiding the situation that the urn floats on the sea surface.

[0024] 2. In the present utility model, the cushion block is higher than the second groove and is correspondingly matched with it. On the premise of ensuring the smoothness of the water inlet channel by raising the second flange, the connection stability between the box bottom and the box body can be increased through the corresponding match with the second groove.

[0025] 3. In the present utility model, the box body, the box bottom and the box cover are all made of starch-based environmental protection materials, which can be completely degraded in seawater to prevent environmental pollution.

[0026] 4. In the present utility model, the box body, the box bottom and the box cover are all made of starch-based environmental protection materials. When the starch-based environmental protection materials encounter water, they will undergo a gelatinization reaction and become viscous. There is no need to use materials such as glue for additional reinforcement at the joints of the box body, the box bottom and the box cover. The gelatinization reaction after they encounter water can achieve the effect of strengthening and improving the connection stability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] An urn for sea burial includes a box body 1, a box bottom 3 and a box cover 2. The box bottom 3 is connected to the bottom of the box body 1, and the box cover 2 is covered on the top of the box body 1, as Figure 1 shown;

[0049] In this embodiment, the box bottom 3 is movably connected to the bottom of the box body 1;

[0050] In this embodiment, the box bottom 3 is disc-shaped, as Figure 4 ,Figure 5 as shown; this is merely a preferred embodiment. In another embodiment, the bottom 3 of the box can also be square, triangular or other shapes;

[0051] The box body 1 is a cylindrical structure with both ends penetrating, such as Figures 6 - 9 shown;

[0052] The top end of the box body 1 is open, and the inside is a receiving space 11 for storing ashes;

[0053] The bottom of the box body 1 is formed with a bearing platform 12 inwardly, and a through hole 13 adapted to the bottom 3 of the box is formed around the bearing platform 12. In this embodiment, the through hole 13 is circular, such as Figure 6 shown;

[0054] The bottom 3 of the box has a certain thickness, and the bottom 3 is thicker than the bearing platform 12, such as Figure 3 shown;

[0055] In this embodiment, a second flange 31 is formed around the upper circumference of the bottom 3 of the box, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown;

[0056] This is merely a preferred embodiment. In another embodiment, the second flange 31 can also be rectangular or other shapes, and it does not need to be continuously surrounded on the circumference of the bottom 3 of the box;

[0057] The second flange 31 is used as a limit for the bottom 3 of the box to be buckled onto the bottom of the box body 1;

[0058] When the bottom 3 of the box is connected to the bottom of the box body 1, the lower part of the bottom 3 can cooperate to pass through the through hole 13 in the middle of the bearing platform 12. The second flange 31 is wider than the through hole 13, so its lower surface will cooperate with the upper surface of the bearing platform 12 to achieve a limit, such as Figure 3 shown, so as to achieve the effect that the bottom 3 of the box is buckled onto the bottom of the box body 1 and is limited thereto.

[0059] In order to prevent the urn from floating on the sea surface after being thrown into the sea, several water inlet channels 4 are formed between the bottom 3 of the box and the box body 1. Seawater can seep into the receiving space 11 of the urn through the water inlet channels 4. By filling the receiving space 11 with seawater, the inside of the urn can be made without cavities and the overall weight can be increased, so as to achieve the effect that the urn sinks more smoothly to the bottom of the sea.

[0060] It should be noted that the ashes are first wrapped in cloth or placed in a cloth bag, and then put into the receiving space 11 of the urn. Therefore, there is no possibility that the ashes leak out from the water inlet channels 4 when the urn is thrown into the sea.

[0061] Furthermore, the bottom 3 of the box and the through hole 13 are in a transition fit, and a first gap 41 is formed between them, such asFigure 3 as shown;

[0062] The second flange 31 and the inner wall of the accommodation space 11 are in transitional fit, and a second gap 42 is formed therebetween, as Figure 3 shown;

[0063] Between the bearing platform 12 and the second flange 31, there are a number of cushion blocks 32, and a third gap 43 is formed between the cushion blocks 32, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown;

[0064] The cushion blocks 32 form a support between the bearing platform 12 and the second flange 31 to raise the second flange 31, so that a gap is formed between the bearing platform 12 and the second flange 31, that is, the third gap 43 between the cushion blocks 32;

[0065] In this way, the first gap 41, the second gap 42 and the third gap 43 communicate to form an intake channel 4, and seawater can enter the accommodation space 11 through the intake channel 4.

[0066] In this embodiment, the cushion blocks 32 are formed between the peripheral side of the bottom case 3 and the second flange 31, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown; This is only a preferred embodiment. In another embodiment, the cushion blocks 32 may be formed on the lower surface of the second flange 31 but separated from the outer sidewall of the bottom case 3;

[0067] In this embodiment, the cushion blocks 32 are formed on the lower surface of the second flange 31 and are in close contact with the outer sidewall of the bottom case 3. A second groove 14 is formed on the upper surface of the bearing platform 12 to cooperate with the cushion blocks 32, as Figure 9 shown;

[0068] When the bottom case 3 is buckled on the bottom of the box body 1, the second flange 31 is buckled on the upper surface of the bearing platform 12, and the two limit the bottom case 3 and the box body 1 in the vertical direction;

[0069] Since the second flange 31 and the inner wall of the accommodation space 11 are in transitional fit, the bottom case 3 and the through hole 13 are in transitional fit, and there is a movable gap between the bottom case 3 and the box body 1 in the radial direction;

[0070] When the bottom case 3 is buckled in the through hole 13, the cushion blocks 32 are located in the second groove 14 and are correspondingly matched with it;

[0071] The cushion blocks 32 and the second groove 14 are in interference fit or clearance fit, that is, when the bottom case 3 is buckled in the through hole 13, the cushion blocks 32 can cooperate with the second groove 14 to achieve horizontal direction limitation, so as to achieve the effect of increasing the connection stability between the bottom case 3 and the box body 1 by radial limitation.

[0072] The pad 32 is higher than the second groove 14, which can ensure the elevation of the second flange 31, so that the third gap 43 can be effectively opened;

[0073] It should be noted that the third gap 43 is a 7-shaped channel formed by the gap between the pads 32 and the gap between the second flange 31 and the support platform 12 after the second flange 31 is raised by the pads 32; that is, after the second flange 31 is raised, the position between it and the support platform 12 corresponding to the gap between the pads 32 is an open gap, and the gap is connected with the gap between the pads 32 to form a 7-shaped channel for seawater to flow through. If the second flange 31 is in close contact with the support platform 12, the first gap 41 and the second gap 42 are disconnected, and the water inlet channel 4 cannot be formed;

[0074] In this embodiment, the height of the cushion block 32 is 4 mm, and the height of the second groove 14 is 3 mm.

[0075] In this embodiment, the box cover 2 is movable and disposed on the top of the box body 1;

[0076] In this embodiment, the top edge of the box body 1 is formed with a first flange 15. Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown;

[0077] The inner side wall of the box cover 2 is formed with a first groove 21 corresponding to the first flange 15. Figure 10 , Figure 12 As shown;

[0078] The first flange 15 of the box cover 2 cooperates with the first groove 21 to achieve radial limitation of the two when the box cover 2 is placed on the top of the box body 1, so as to achieve a stable covering effect of the box cover 2 and the box body 1.

[0079] In this embodiment, a first chamfer 22 is formed at the connection between the lower edge of the box cover 2 and the first groove 21. Figure 12 As shown;

[0080] A first chamfered surface 16 adapted to the first chamfer 22 is formed at the connection between the top edge of the box body 1 and the first flange 15. Figure 9 As shown;

[0081] When the box cover 2 is placed on the top of the box body 1, the first chamfer 22 and the first chamfered surface 16 are matched with each other. Figure 3 As shown;

[0082] Since the urn is made of starch-based environmentally friendly materials, if the connection between the first flange 15 and the first groove 21 adopts a sharp-angle structure, bumps may cause damage to the sharp angle, thereby affecting the seal between the two. The chamfered structure can better avoid damage caused by bumps.

[0083] In this embodiment, a second chamfer 17 is formed between the bottom and the outer wall of the box body 1, as Figures 1 - 3 shown;

[0084] Setting the second chamfer 17 can reduce the probability of damage to the box body 1 of the urn caused by bumping, so that the urn has better aesthetics.

[0085] In this embodiment, the inner side of the box cover 2 is a hollow structure, forming a second accommodating space 23, as Figure 12 shown;

[0086] The second accommodating space 23 can increase the overall accommodating volume of the urn.

[0087] In this embodiment, the box body 1, the box bottom 3 and the box cover 2 are all made of starch-based environmental protection materials;

[0088] The urn made of starch-based environmental protection materials can be degraded after being immersed in seawater for a certain period of time, and will not cause pollution to the environment; and the starch-based environmental protection materials will produce a gelatinization reaction and become viscous when encountering water. There is no need to use materials such as glue for additional reinforcement at the joints of the box body 1, the box bottom 3 and the box cover 2. The gelatinization reaction after encountering water can achieve the effect of strengthening and improving the connection stability.

[0089] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent replacements or modifications made on the basis of the present invention to achieve basically the same technical effects are all covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
