DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of the appearance of a mortuary cabinet according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a left side view of the mortuary cabinet of FIG.

[0011] The mortuary facility 1 installed in a building not shown is a refrigerator for storing and placing, for example, multiple coffins B (see Figure 5) containing corpses, and in this case a prefabricated refrigerator is used as the main body. The mortuary storage facility 1 is configured so that the coffin B can be loaded and unloaded vertically and horizontally, as described below.

[0012] The mortuary cabinet 1 is used here as a refrigerator, but may also be used as a freezer. The above-mentioned "refrigeration" is taken to mean, for example, cooling and storing food and beverages at a low temperature without freezing them. More specifically, storage at 10°C or below is considered "refrigeration."

[0013] The mortuary repository 1 is configured with one or more racks 2 and a mortuary repository main body 3 in which the racks 2 are installed. First, the mortuary cabinet main body 3 will be described, and then the rack 2 will be described.

[0014] In Figures 1 and 2, the mortuary storage main body 3 is, although not limited to, a prefabricated refrigerator as described above, and is installed on the floor F of a building (not shown). The mortuary storage main body 3 is composed of a main body (not shown), a ceiling panel 31 and a wall panel 32 made up of a combination of multiple panel members, and a temperature control device 4 (see Figure 8) that adjusts the temperature of the internal rack installation space 33.

[0015] The ceiling panel 31 and the wall panel 32 are formed by combining a plurality of known panel members to form a ceiling and a wall of a predetermined shape, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here. The wall panel 32 is configured to include a front panel 321, a left side panel 322, a right side panel 323 (see FIG. 5), and a rear panel 324 (see FIG. 5).

[0016] The mortuary safe main body 3 is formed by a ceiling panel 31 and wall panels 32 into, for example, a rectangular housing as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Other aspects of the housing are as shown in FIG.

[0017] FIG. 3 shows a mortuary cabinet body in which rack installation space is provided to match the dead space in the building. The mortuary storage facility main body 3 has a ceiling panel 31 and a wall panel 32 processed (for example, the pillar processing shown in Figure 3, diagonal deformation processing, ceiling beam processing, pillar three-sided processing, back deformation processing, interior pillar processing, and ceiling diagonal processing) to ensure rack installation space 33 that matches the dead space of the building.

[0018] Returning to FIG. 1, the front panel 321 is provided with doors 341 and 342 which open sideways, doors 343 and 344 which serve as small doors, and a door 345 which opens on one side. That is, the front panel 321 is provided with a plurality of types of doors 341 to 345 as shown in FIG.

[0019] In FIG. 2, the left side panel 322 is provided with a double door 346 and a single door 347. That is, the left side panel 322 is also provided with two types of doors, a door 346 and a door 347, as shown in FIG. Incidentally, when the above-mentioned doors 341 to 347 are collectively referred to, they will be simply called door 34.

[0020] FIG. 4 shows an example of a door installed for carrying in and out the coffin. The mortuary storage facility main body 3 is configured so that the coffin B can be inserted vertically and horizontally, as described below, by combining doors 34 as shown in FIG. In other words, the mortuary storage facility main body 3 is configured to allow the coffin B to be inserted vertically and horizontally by combining doors 34 such as double doors, single doors, sliding doors, small doors, and side-opening doors. The door 34 is provided with a width 35 that allows the coffin B to be placed vertically or horizontally. The combination of the doors 34 is not particularly limited.

[0021] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line PP in FIG. The mortuary facility 1 has, for example, four racks 2 installed inside the mortuary facility main body 3, and when the door 342, which opens horizontally, is opened on the front panel 321, the coffin B can be loaded and removed horizontally as shown by the arrow Y, and when the small door 344 or the single-opening door 345 is opened, the coffin B can be loaded and removed vertically as shown by the arrow T.

[0022] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line QQ of FIG. 1 based on the state of FIG. Doors 341 and 342 are of the type that open sideways as shown in FIG. 6, and door 341 opens upwards by means of hinges (reference number omitted). The door 342 also opens downwards on a hinge, and on this door 342, a plurality of rollers 342a, for example wheel type, are arranged at a predetermined pitch to facilitate the loading and unloading of the coffin B. The door 342 is provided with legs 342b for supporting the load of the coffin B when it is carried in and out (the legs 342b are assumed to be stored in a prescribed location when the door 342 is closed).

[0023] When loading and unloading the coffin B through the door 341 which opens upward, the lower door 342 can be closed and a liftable platform (number omitted) carrying the coffin B can be placed next to the front panel 321.

[0024] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line RR in FIG. 1 based on the state shown in FIG. Doors 343 and 344 are small doors as shown in FIG. 7, and by opening them, for example, coffin B can be inserted vertically as indicated by arrow T.

[0025] As can be seen from the above explanation, the mortuary facility 1 allows the coffin B to be loaded and unloaded either vertically as indicated by arrow T or horizontally as indicated by arrow Y. As a result, for example, in terms of removal, compared to the removal performed in the refrigerated storage facility disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 (i.e., when a relevant coffin out of multiple coffins is moved to a designated location within the refrigerated storage facility and then removed through a single door located at the designated location), the mortuary storage facility 1 of the present invention makes removal much easier (removal can be performed smoothly in a short amount of time and does not require a complex device configuration).

[0026] FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram regarding keeping the inside temperature constant. In order to place the corpse in a proper manner, the mortuary storage facility 1 is designed with a control unit (not shown) of the temperature adjustment device 4 functioning to maintain an appropriate temperature not only inside the storage facility but also inside the coffin B. Specifically, as shown in the graph of Figure 8 (which is one example), when refrigeration begins when the temperature inside coffin B is 23°C, cooling progresses to 9°C in 35 minutes, and then the temperature control device 4, such as a cooler, is controlled to maintain the temperature at 6°C to 9°C for the next 6 hours. In addition, in order to maintain the temperature inside the cabinet at 6 to 9°C, the structure of the rack 2 for storing coffin B is also important (for example, it is designed to allow easy circulation of cold air).

[0027] Figure 9 is a diagram showing the functions of the rack installed in the rack installation space of a mortuary storage facility in one embodiment of the present invention, where (a) is a diagram showing the function of the rack allowing vertical insertion, and (b) is a diagram showing the function of the rack allowing horizontal insertion.

[0028] As shown in Figure 9, the rack 2 installed in the mortuary main body 3 (rack installation space 33) of the mortuary 1 is configured to make it easy to move the coffin B in either the vertical insertion direction indicated by arrow T or the horizontal insertion direction indicated by arrow Y. The rack 2 is not manufactured as a dedicated vertical insertion or dedicated horizontal insertion, but is configured to be compatible with both vertical and horizontal insertion as described above.

[0029] Specifically, the rack 2 has a plurality of rollers 22 (described later) that assist in the movement of the coffin B, and is configured so that when the rollers 22 are assembled so that the extension direction of the rollers 22 is parallel to the short side direction of the shelf member 212 described later (Figure 9(a)), the above-mentioned vertical insertion can be performed smoothly, and when the rollers 22 are assembled so that the extension direction is parallel to the long side direction (Figure 9(b)), the above-mentioned horizontal insertion can be performed smoothly. Such a rack 2 is configured to include a rack body 21 and a plurality of rollers 22.

[0030] 9 indicates the up-down direction of rack 2. Furthermore, the "front-rear" arrow indicates the front-rear direction of rack 2 and the longitudinal direction of shelf member 212 described later. Furthermore, the "left-right" arrow indicates the left-right direction of rack 2 and the transverse direction of shelf member 212.

[0031] FIG. 10 is a plan view of a rack body constituting the rack of FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of a portion indicated by an arrow A1 in FIG. 10, FIG. 12 is a front view of a two-tiered rack body, and FIG. 13 is a front view of a three-tiered rack body. 14 is a right side view of a two-tiered rack body, FIG. 15 is a right side view of a three-tiered rack body, and FIG. 16 is an enlarged view of the areas indicated by arrows A2 to A4 in FIGS. In the following description, reference will be made to FIGS. 9 to 16 as appropriate.

[0032] The rack body 21 is configured to include a plurality of support members 211, a plurality of shelf members 212, a plurality of anti-sway members 213, and a plurality of fall prevention stoppers 214.

[0033] The plurality of support members 211 are metal rods that extend straight in the vertical direction, and here, four of the same shape are used. The four support members 211 are disposed at the four corner positions of the shelf member 212 .

[0034] Two shelf members 212 of the same shape are used when the rack 2 is a two-tier type as shown in Figures 12 and 14, and three shelf members 212 of the same shape are used when the rack 2 is a three-tier type as shown in Figures 13 and 15. Since the coffin B here has a shape of, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped, the shelf member 212 is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from above.

[0035] The shelf member 212 has two exterior frames 212a arranged at a predetermined interval in the short direction, two exterior frames 212b arranged at a predetermined interval in the long direction, four first frame portions 212c, and eight second frame portions 212d in total, four on each side. The two exterior frames 212a and the two exterior frames 222b form an outer frame that defines the outer shape of the shelf member 212. The four first frame portions 212c are disposed so as to be lined up consecutively along the longitudinal direction.

[0036] Of the eight second frame portions 212d, four are arranged between the four first frame portions 212c and one of the outer frames 212a, and the remaining four are arranged between the four first frame portions 212c and the other outer frame 212a. The four first frame portions 212c basically have the same configuration, and each has four first frames 212e and is formed in a square. Here, the four first frame portions 212c are configured so that adjacent ones share the first frame 212e.

[0037] A plurality of first bearing portions 212f are formed at a predetermined pitch on the plurality of first frames 212e. The plurality of first bearing portions 212f are portions for receiving the rotating shafts 222 of the rollers 22, and are formed, for example, in U-shaped grooves cut out from top to bottom (see FIG. 16).

[0038] The plurality of first bearing portions 212f are formed in grooves having a depth such that the roller body 221 of the roller 22 protrudes upward from the first frame 212e when the rotating shaft 222 is received therein. Here, four of the first bearing portions 212f are formed in one first frame 212e (this number is merely an example).

[0039] The eight second frame portions 212d basically have the same configuration, have the second frame 212g, and are formed into a long and narrow rectangle in the longitudinal direction. The eight second frame portions 212d are configured to share the first frame 212e of the first frame portion 212c and the outer frame 212a.

[0040] Here, the eight second frame portions 212d are configured so that adjacent ones share the second frame 212g. The second frame 212g is formed with one second bearing portion 212h having the same shape as the first frame 212e (see FIG. 16; the number is merely an example).

[0041] The multiple anti-vibration members 213 are, for example, rod-shaped members used to ensure the strength of the rack body 21 (to regulate distortion), and when performing the above-mentioned vertical insertion, they are assembled so as to connect the two support members 211 along the longitudinal direction (see Figures 12 and 13). When the above-mentioned horizontal insertion is performed, the two support members 211 are assembled so as to be connected along the short side direction (not shown in Figs. 14 and 15).

[0042] When the coffin B is placed vertically, the multiple fall prevention stoppers 214 are positioned on the outer frame 212b at the rear to prevent the coffin B from falling, and when the coffin B is placed horizontally, the multiple fall prevention stoppers 214 are positioned on the outer frame 212a at the rear to prevent the coffin B from falling. The drop prevention stopper 214 may be structured to be detachable or slidable, and may be disposed on the outer frame 212b or the outer frame 212a in a front position opposite to the above-mentioned rear position.

[0043] FIG. 17 is a diagram of the rollers that make up the rack of FIG. 9, where (a) is a front view of the rollers and (b) is a side view of the rollers. FIG. 18 is a plan view of an example of a rack that allows vertical insertion, and FIG. 19 is a perspective view of an example of a rack that allows vertical insertion. FIG. 20 is a plan view of an example of a rack that allows lateral insertion, and FIG. 21 is a perspective view of an example of a rack that allows lateral insertion.

[0044] In FIG. 17, the plurality of rollers 22 are configured to include a roller body 221, a rotating shaft 222, and a rotating shaft stopper 223. The roller body 221 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and is assembled to be rotatable around the axis of the rotation shaft 222 . The rotation shaft stopper 223 is provided to restrict the movement of the roller 22 mounted to the first bearing portion 212f and the second bearing portion 212h.

[0045] When the above-mentioned vertical insertion is performed, the rollers 22 are assembled in positions as shown in, for example, FIGS. Furthermore, when the above-mentioned lateral insertion is performed, the rollers 22 are adapted to be assembled in positions as shown in, for example, FIGS.

[0046] As explained above with reference to Figures 9 to 21, the rack 2 has the above-mentioned configuration and structure, and therefore can accommodate either vertical or horizontal insertion of the coffin B, as shown in Figure 9. In addition, the rack 2 has four first frame portions 212c and eight second frame portions 212d, and multiple rollers 22 are arranged at appropriate positions, so that the coffin B can be moved smoothly, especially when the above-mentioned horizontal loading is performed.

[0048] In the above embodiment, the coffin B is moved in the same direction on each level, but this is not limited to this. That is, by changing the installation of the rollers 22, for example, the first level may be inserted vertically and the second level may be inserted horizontally (the third level may also be inserted horizontally, etc.). In this case, for example, a door that opens to the side is provided on the front panel 321, and a door that serves as a small door is provided on the left side panel 322.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the object to be stored is the coffin B having a rectangular parallelepiped shape, but this is not limited thereto. That is, the object to be stored may be, for example, a shallow tray having a rectangular shape in a plan view. In this case, for example, bodies prior to dissection will be stored on shallow trays.

[0050] In the above-described embodiment, although not specifically indicated with a reference symbol, a third frame portion (third frame portion) is provided at the location of the outer frame 212b, and a third bearing portion formed in the third frame of this third frame portion may be formed with a third bearing portion to which roller 22 can be assembled.
