[0023] as follows:

[0024] Please see the appendix Figure 1-6 ,

[0025] The main structure includes a columbarium body (1) consisting of a tower body (11), a tower top (10) and an altar assembly (12) respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the tower body (11). The altar assembly (12) includes a base body (120) for bearing the weight of the tower body (11) and the tower top (10), and a top platform (1200) located at the upper end of the base body (120) for contacting the bottom end of the tower body (11). The front end of the base body (120) is a recessed stepped platform (122). The two sides of the platform (122) are respectively provided with protective seats (121) for placing offerings. The base body (120), the protective seats (121), and the platform (122) are an integrated altar module structure.

[0026] The working principle is as follows:

[0027] Traditional cremation urn storage containers generally lack integrated altar functions. Traditional concrete-cast altars are difficult to transport and have complex processes, requiring significant manpower and resources for on-site assembly, resulting in high costs and limited functionality. To address these issues, this technical solution proposes a modular altar structure. Through an integrated altar module design consisting of a base (120), a protective base (121), and a storage platform (122), rapid assembly is achieved. The base (120) adopts an integrated casting process, integrating the top platform (1200) that bears the weight of the tower body (11) and the top (10), the sunken stepped storage platform (122), and the two protective bases (121) into a single structure, eliminating the traditional multi-part assembly steps and greatly simplifying the manufacturing process. The fixed base (1210) on the top of the protective base (121) can expand the sacrificial space, and the built-in electronic incense and candle connector facilitates connection to smart devices, preserving the traditional sacrificial ritual feel. The tower body (11) is composed of stacked cabinet structures, and the top (10) adopts an integrated molding design. The modular stacking method significantly improves assembly efficiency and reduces on-site construction difficulty. The front end of the base body (120) has a stepped sunken platform (122), which facilitates the placement of offerings and optimizes space utilization. The overall structure is quickly manufactured through a prefabricated frame, which is convenient for transportation and flexible on-site installation, effectively reducing overall costs and solving the problems of complex construction and single function of traditional altars.

[0028] The assembly and disassembly of the overall structure can be,

[0029] During assembly, the one-piece cast base body (120) is placed stably in the preset position, ensuring that the top platform (1200) is aligned with the bottom of the tower body (11). Then, the tower body (11) is built up layer by layer from bottom to top by multiple cabinet structures. Each cabinet is fixed by buckles or bolts to form a cremated ash storage module. After the stacking is completed, the one-piece cast tower top (10) is placed vertically on the top of the tower body (11) and locked. The stepped shelf (122) at the front of the base body (120) and the side guards (121) do not require additional assembly. The fixing seat (1210) on the top of the guard (121) can be directly inserted into the electronic incense candle and connected to the internal connector.

[0030] During disassembly, the electronic incense and candle devices are disconnected first, the top of the tower (10) is removed, and then the tower body (11) cabinet is disassembled layer by layer from top to bottom. Finally, the base main body (120) module is removed as a whole. The entire process does not require cutting or destructive operations. The modular design allows the components to be repeatedly disassembled and reassembled, greatly reducing the complexity of construction.
