[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cremated remains storage containers, and in particular to a cremated remains tower with photovoltaic power supply characteristics. Background Technology

[0002] Cremation urns are not only places to hold the ashes of the deceased, but also embody reverence for life and its legacy. These containers exhibit a rich diversity in materials and designs: some are wooden urns, crafted from mahogany, sandalwood, and other woods to exude a rustic and solemn feel; others are intricately carved pieces made from white marble, marble, and other stones; and still others are family memorial spaces created using modular urn shelves, fully reflecting the family's unique character. Each piece embodies the artisan's exquisite craftsmanship and humanistic sentiment, expressing the remembrance of the living.

[0003] Currently available columbarium storage devices generally suffer from power supply limitations. Since most products are only equipped with basic lighting (such as a few LED lights) or have no electrical equipment, they mainly rely on either battery power or external power sources. The former requires regular battery replacements, which is inconvenient for maintenance, while the latter suffers from problems such as messy wiring and limitations imposed by the power supply location. In particular, when it is necessary to add intelligent devices such as electronic displays and environmental monitoring, traditional power supply methods are difficult to meet the needs.

[0004] To address this, this technical solution innovatively develops a photovoltaic-powered columbarium tower, achieving energy self-sufficiency through the integration of a solar power generation system. During the day, the device utilizes photovoltaic panels to convert and store electrical energy, automatically switching to energy storage power at night. This ensures continuous equipment operation while avoiding the inconvenience of wiring. This green power supply mode is particularly suitable for new columbarium storage containers equipped with diverse electrical devices such as electronic incense burners, intelligent sensor lights, and temperature and humidity control systems, providing a reliable energy solution for the intelligent upgrading of funeral facilities. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. Therefore, the main objective of this invention is to provide a columbarium with photovoltaic power supply characteristics, thereby addressing the problems of limited power supply and inconvenient maintenance of existing columbarium storage containers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a columbarium with photovoltaic power supply characteristics, comprising a main body of the columbarium consisting of a tower body assembly, a tower top assembly, a tower base assembly, and internal equipment.

[0007] The tower top assembly and tower base assembly are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the tower body assembly.

[0008] The tower top assembly includes a tower top body and photovoltaic panels installed on the top surface of the tower top body. The photovoltaic panels are connected to internal equipment through a power supply component.

[0009] The power supply components include a control module, and a power supply module and an energy storage module respectively connected to the control module. The power supply module and the energy storage module are also connected in parallel with the power supply interface group, and the power supply interface group is connected to each device of the internal equipment.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the energy storage module includes an energy storage power supply and a power protection module connected to the energy storage power supply.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this invention, the tower top assembly also includes a tower top chamber disposed inside the tower top body, and the internal equipment is disposed within the tower top chamber.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the internal equipment includes a camera, a speaker, and an LED controller connected to the external LEDs of the main body of the columbarium.

[0013] As a further improvement of this invention, the power supply component is located inside the tower base component.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the main body of the tower top has a two-sloped roof structure, and the photovoltaic panel includes at least two spliced ​​panels, which are laid on the two sloping surfaces of the main body of the tower top.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This technical solution addresses the limitations of traditional ash storage devices in terms of power supply and maintenance inconvenience. Traditional solutions rely on batteries or external power sources; the former requires frequent replacements and is costly, while the latter involves complex wiring and is limited by power supply location, making it difficult to meet the continuous power supply needs of intelligent devices. This solution uses a double-sloped roof structure with interlocking photovoltaic panels on the sloping surfaces of the tower's top components. This double-sloped design expands the sunlight reception area, improves solar energy conversion efficiency, and maintains the tower's aesthetic harmony. The power supply components are integrated within the tower base components, with a low-level layout facilitating manual inspection and maintenance, avoiding the risks of working at heights. The energy storage module consists of an energy storage power supply and a power protection module. The former stores photovoltaic energy for nighttime or cloudy days, while the latter monitors the charging and discharging status in real time, preventing overload or short circuits and ensuring a safe and stable power supply. Internal equipment (such as cameras, speakers, and LED controllers) is centrally installed within the tower's top cavity, avoiding environmental corrosion and simplifying wiring management. The entire system achieves energy self-sufficiency through photovoltaic power supply, eliminating the hassles of traditional wiring, reducing maintenance frequency, and supporting the long-term stable operation of intelligent devices such as electronic incense burners and environmental monitoring systems, providing reliable support for the intelligent upgrading of funeral facilities.

[0025] Detailed Implementation

[0026] as follows:

[0027] Please see the appendix Figure 1-5 ,

[0028] The main structure includes a columbarium body (1) consisting of a tower body assembly, a tower top assembly, a tower base assembly, and internal equipment (13). The tower top assembly and the tower base assembly are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the tower body assembly. The tower top assembly includes a tower top body (10) and a photovoltaic panel (101) installed on the top surface of the tower top body (10). The photovoltaic panel (101) is connected to the internal equipment (13) through a power supply assembly (102). The power supply assembly (102) includes a control module (1020), a power supply module (1021) and an energy storage module (1022) respectively connected to the control module (1020). The power supply module (1021) and the energy storage module (1022) are also connected in parallel with the power supply interface group (1025). The power supply interface group (1025) is connected to each device of the internal equipment (13).

[0029] The working principle is as follows:

[0030] This technical solution features a two-sloped roof structure on the top of the main body (1) of the columbarium tower. The sloped surfaces are covered with interlocking photovoltaic panels (101), which efficiently absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy. A power supply component (102) is integrated within the tower base component, comprising a control module (1020), a power supply module (1021), and an energy storage module (1022). The energy storage module (1022) combines an energy storage power supply (1023) with a power protection module (1024) to ensure stable energy storage and safe release. The electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic panels (101) is intelligently distributed through the control module (1020). During the day, it prioritizes powering the internal equipment (13) and storing excess energy. At night, it automatically switches to powering the energy storage module (1022), achieving 24-hour uninterrupted operation. Internal equipment (13), such as cameras, speakers, and LED controllers, are connected to the system via parallel power supply interface groups (1025), supporting the expansion of diverse intelligent devices. The top chamber (1000) centrally houses the equipment, while the low-lying layout of the tower base components facilitates manual maintenance and avoids the risks of working at heights. The overall structure achieves energy self-sufficiency through photovoltaic power supply, eliminating the hassle of traditional wiring and reducing maintenance frequency. It is particularly suitable for the long-term stable operation of intelligent functions such as electronic incense burners and environmental monitoring, providing a green and efficient energy solution for funeral facilities.

[0031] The assembly and disassembly process can be,

[0032] During assembly, first align the lower ends of the tower base assembly and the tower body assembly, and fix them with bolts or clips to form a basic frame. Then, install the tower top assembly on the upper end of the tower body assembly, ensuring that the main body (10) of the tower top structure with two slopes is perpendicular to the tower body. Next, lay the photovoltaic panels (101) on the surface of the main body (10) of the tower top according to the two slopes, and connect them to the power supply assembly (102) inside the tower base assembly through wires. Then, install the internal equipment (13) (such as cameras, speakers, LED controllers) into the tower top cavity (1000), and complete the connection with the power supply module (1021) and energy storage module (1022) through the power supply interface group (1025). Finally, integrate the energy storage module (1022) (including energy storage power supply (1023) and power protection module (1024)) into the tower base assembly, check the connection of each line, and start the control module (1020) to debug the system operation.

[0033] During disassembly, the power supply interface group (1025) connection must be disconnected first, and the internal equipment (13) in the tower top chamber (1000) must be removed. Then, the fasteners of the photovoltaic panel (101) and the tower top body (10) must be disassembled to separate the tower top assembly from the tower body assembly. Finally, the outer shell of the tower base assembly must be opened, and the connections of the energy storage module (1022), power supply module (1021), and control module (1020) must be disconnected in sequence. After removing the power supply assembly (102), the tower base and tower body can be disassembled. The entire process must follow the order from the outside to the inside and from top to bottom, and the energy storage power supply (1023) must be fully discharged to avoid safety risks.

[0037] A chamber is set inside the main body (10) at the top of the tower for the centralized installation of internal equipment such as cameras and speakers (13). This avoids the equipment being directly exposed to the external environment (such as rainwater and dust erosion), facilitates unified management of equipment lines, simplifies maintenance operations, reduces external visual interference, and maintains the solemnity and beauty of the overall shape of the columbarium.

[0038] Reference Appendix Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the internal device (13) includes a camera, a speaker and an LED controller connected to the external LED of the main body (1) of the columbarium.

[0039] In this technical solution, cameras are used to monitor the internal and external environment of the columbarium in real time, speakers can play memorial music or prompt voices, and LED controllers can create a solemn atmosphere or provide nighttime guidance lighting by adjusting the brightness and color of external LED lights, thereby enhancing the intelligent functions and humanistic care experience of the columbarium.

[0040] Reference Appendix Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the power supply component (102) is disposed inside the tower base component.

[0041] The power supply component (102) is integrated inside the tower base. Its low-position layout facilitates manual inspection, component replacement or daily maintenance, avoids the risks of high-altitude operation, reduces the impact on the appearance of the tower, and ensures the stable operation of the power supply system.
