Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of funeral equipment technology, specifically to a coffin suitable for vertical burial. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the mainstream funeral methods are burial and cremation. Burial requires excavating large graves, occupying a significant amount of land resources over a long period, exacerbating the problem in densely populated areas with limited land. While cremation reduces land occupation, it consumes a large amount of energy during the cremation process and may produce air pollutants, raising environmental concerns. Furthermore, neither traditional flat burial nor the placement of urns after cremation can achieve a good balance between saving land and meeting people's emotional needs for the deceased to maintain their integrity and rest in peace with dignity. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a vertical burial coffin that can save land, protect the environment, respect the deceased, and be easily accepted by the living.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: A vertical burial coffin body, including a lower coffin base and an upper coffin lid, which are fixedly connected to form a sealed coffin body, and further comprising:

[0005] A substrate plate is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the lower coffin base, and has multiple rivet holes distributed on it;

[0006] A silicone base plate, with multiple rivet heads on its bottom surface corresponding to the rivet holes, is fixed to the substrate by the cooperation of the rivet heads and the rivet holes, and is used to support the remains;

[0007] A silicone cover is used to fully cover the remains placed on the silicone base plate and to seal the silicone base plate; the silicone cover is provided with an air extraction port for connecting a vacuum pump to extract the internal air so that the silicone cover is tightly attached to the remains; the air extraction port is provided with an openable and closable sealing structure.

[0008] The upper coffin lid is provided with a feed hole and an exhaust hole. The feed hole is used to inject filler into the internal space of the sealed coffin body, and the exhaust hole is used to expel the air in the sealed space during the filling process.

[0009] The coffin was placed upright in the tomb with its head up and feet down.

[0010] Furthermore, the silicone base plate is fixed to the substrate plate by interference fit or snap-fit ​​with the rivet holes on the substrate plate through a plurality of rivet heads provided on its bottom surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the edge of the silicone cover and the edge of the silicone base plate are sealed together by heat melting, bonding, or snap-fitting.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing structure of the air extraction port is a removable sealing plug or a one-way valve.

[0013] Furthermore, the feed hole and the exhaust hole are located at opposite ends of the upper coffin lid along its length.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower coffin seat and / or the upper coffin lid are provided with lifting rings.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting rings are disposed on opposite sides of one end of the lower coffin seat in the longitudinal direction.

[0016] Furthermore, the filler is a foaming material, gypsum, cement, or resin material that can be injected and cured at room temperature.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] (1) By adopting the vertical burial method with the head up and feet down, the grave only needs to accommodate the cross-sectional area of ​​the coffin. Compared with the traditional flat burial, the land area occupied can be reduced by about two-thirds or more, which greatly alleviates the problem of tight cemetery land. The entire burial process does not require cremation, thus avoiding the emission of air pollutants and energy consumption caused by cremation.

[0019] (2) The coffin is sealed by vacuum and filled with inorganic materials such as gypsum and cement. No toxic or harmful substances are produced. The natural degradation process of the remains is slower and more stable. The impact on the surrounding soil and groundwater environment is controllable and far less than that of traditional burial, thus achieving the goal of green and low-carbon burial.

[0020] (3) The deceased rests in the ground in an upright and natural posture, which is in line with the traditional concept of "burial for peace" and is more dignified in a symbolic sense; compared with cremation, the complete form of the body is preserved; compared with the small urn, the resting space is more solemn and can better meet the emotional and psychological needs of the deceased's family members, and the social acceptance is expected to be higher.

[0021] (4) The silicone cover is tightly attached to the body by vacuum suction inside the coffin, and then filler is injected to fill all gaps and solidify to form a stable whole that is tightly attached to the coffin. This can effectively prevent the body from shifting during transportation and erection, and ensure the solemnity and durability of the burial state. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, it will be described more comprehensively and in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the following specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, the vertical burial coffin provided in this embodiment is mainly composed of an outer coffin shell and an internal encapsulation system.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer coffin shell includes a lower coffin base 1 and an upper coffin lid 2. The upper coffin lid 2 and the lower coffin base 1 are fixedly connected by bolts, clips or other connection methods to form a sealed rigid coffin body.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a substrate plate 4 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the lower coffin base 1. Multiple rivet holes 5 are regularly distributed on the substrate plate 4.

[0032] The internal encapsulation system is used to hold and seal the remains. For example... Figure 3 As shown, it includes a silicone base plate 6 and a silicone cover 8. On the bottom surface of the silicone base plate 6, there are multiple rivet heads 7 corresponding to the rivet holes 5 on the substrate plate 4. During installation, by aligning and pressing the rivet heads 7 of the silicone base plate 6 into the rivet holes 5 of the substrate plate 4, the silicone base plate 6 can be securely installed inside the lower coffin seat 1 using an interference fit or snap-fit ​​structure to support the remains.

[0033] The silicone cover 8 is used to completely enclose the body after it is placed on the silicone base plate 6. The edges of the silicone cover 8 and the edges of the silicone base plate 6 are sealed together by means of heat fusion, bonding, or snap-fit, thereby forming a sealed soft capsule around the body. An air extraction port 9 is provided on the silicone cover 8, which has an openable and closable sealing structure, such as a removable sealing plug or a one-way valve. By connecting an external vacuum pump (not shown) to this air extraction port 9, the air between the silicone cover 8 and the body can be extracted, allowing the silicone cover 8 to fit tightly against the surface of the body, achieving initial fixation and preservation. After the vacuuming operation is completed, the air extraction port 9 is sealed.

[0034] After completing the internal sealing, the upper coffin lid 2 is placed on the lower coffin base 1 and locked. For example... Figure 4 As shown, two through holes are formed on the upper coffin lid 2, namely a feed hole 10 and an exhaust hole 11. Preferably, the feed hole 10 and the exhaust hole 11 are located at opposite ends of the length of the upper coffin lid 2. Through the feed hole 10, filler 12 can be injected into the final sealed space formed by the lower coffin seat 1, the upper coffin lid 2, and the internal sealing system. The filler 12 can be made of a material that can be poured and cured at room temperature, such as foam material, plaster, cement, or resin. During the pouring process, air inside the coffin is expelled through the exhaust hole 11. After the filler 12 fills all the voids and cures, a solid and stable whole is formed inside the coffin.

[0035] To facilitate the lifting and placement of the coffin, lifting rings 3 are provided on the lower coffin base 1 and / or the upper coffin lid 2. As a preferred embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, lifting rings 3 can be installed on opposite sides of one end of the lower coffin base 1 along its length (i.e., the end corresponding to the feet of the remains). This arrangement helps maintain the balance of the coffin during subsequent vertical placement. During hoisting operations, the lower ends of the hoisting ropes (not shown in the figure) are connected to the pair of lifting rings 3. The two hoisting ropes extend upwards symmetrically along both sides of the coffin, eventually connecting together to the same hoisting equipment (such as a crane hook) positioned directly above the coffin. Through this connection, the two hoisting ropes and the coffin form a stable constraint system, effectively limiting the coffin's horizontal freedom and ensuring that it naturally maintains the predetermined vertical posture of "head up, feet down" during hoisting. Compared to placing the lifting rings at the top of the coffin, this design of placing the lifting rings 3 at the lower end of the coffin (the end corresponding to the feet) more effectively constrains the coffin during vertical placement, significantly suppressing its swaying, preventing collisions with the burial pit walls, and improving the stability and safety of the burial operation.

[0036] like Figure 5As shown, during burial, the coffin, whose interior has solidified into a single unit, is lowered vertically into a pre-dug square grave, head up and feet down. It is then buried, completing the entire burial process. This vertical burial method significantly reduces the land area occupied.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
