Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for disposing of a corpse, and more particularly to a method for disposing of a corpse using liquid nitrogen. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditionally in Japan, most human and pet bodies have been incinerated at crematoriums, and after the remains have been collected, the remaining bones and ashes have been disposed of as waste or flushed down the sewer. However, with the aging population and the increase in pet cremation, the shortage of cremation facilities is becoming a problem. Local governments are considering increasing the number of crematoriums, but due to issues such as budget and securing employees, the number of facilities is not currently increasing. The prior art and its drawbacks are as follows: The conventional techniques are (1) cremation, (2) burial, (3) scattering of ashes, and (4) tree burial. (1) Cremation: A method in which the body of the deceased is incinerated at high temperatures and the remains are placed in an urn. This is particularly common in Japan, where it is carried out at a crematorium. Because the body is burned at high temperatures, only the remains remain. The remains are placed in an urn and placed in a cemetery or ossuary. (2) Burial: A method in which the body is buried directly in the ground. This is done for religious reasons or due to local customs, but is on the decline in urban areas due to land issues. It is difficult to secure land, making it difficult to implement in urban areas. It takes a long time for the body to decompose, and hygiene issues have also been pointed out. (3) Scattering of ashes: This method involves powdering the remains and scattering them in the mountains or the sea. This is often done with the concept of returning the remains to nature, but environmental impact and legal restrictions can be problematic. There are areas with strict legal restrictions, so the locations where this can be done are often limited. There are also concerns about the impact on the environment. (4) Tree burial: Burying the remains at the base of a tree allows the remains to return to nature along with the tree. This method is gaining attention from an ecological perspective, but is often limited to certain locations. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The inventors have completed the present invention as a result of extensive research in light of the drawbacks of the prior art. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] When we conducted an FI and keyword search for the corpse disposal method related to the present invention, we were unable to find any documents describing inventions similar to the present invention (corpse disposal method), so we will omit the description of the patent documents. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] First problem to be solved by this invention The first problem to be solved by the present invention is: To provide a method for processing a body, which is made possible by simplifying the work of recovering the parts necessary for collecting the bones. Second problem to be solved by this invention The second problem to be solved by the present invention is: To provide a method for disposing of bodies that consumes less energy than cremation, emits almost no carbon dioxide, and significantly reduces the impact on the environment. Third problem to be solved by this invention The third problem that the present invention aims to solve is: To provide a method for treating a body by which a body or remains can be converted into fine particles in a short period of time, easily returned to the soil, and returned to nature more quickly than burial or tree burial. Fourth problem to be solved by this invention The fourth problem to be solved by the present invention is: To provide a method for disposing of a body that can completely remove pathogens and viruses, enable hygienic disposal, and reduce public health risks. Fifth problem to be solved by this invention The fifth problem to be solved by the present invention is: To provide a method for disposing of a body, which is not limited to a place, allows memorialization in various ways, and is not restricted by restrictions on the place of implementation, such as scattering of ashes or tree burial. Sixth problem to be solved by the present invention The sixth problem to be solved by the present invention is: To provide a method for treating a body using liquid nitrogen, which can shorten the time required to cool the body to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. In an invention for a method of disposing of a body (including an animal body) in which the body is cooled to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen using liquid nitrogen and then mechanically crushed, there is a problem in that it takes too long to cool the body (including an animal body) to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen using liquid nitrogen (the reason for this is that the speed at which liquid nitrogen penetrates from the outside of the body to the center through the frost cracks is slow). It is important to shorten the time required to cool a corpse (including an animal corpse) using liquid nitrogen to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen, and the sixth problem that the present invention aims to solve is achieved by adopting the characteristic configurations described in claims 10 to 12. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The means for solving the problem are the inventions described in each claim of the [Claims] of this application. In order to resolve any doubts regarding the interpretation of terms in the claims, specification, drawings, etc., the following explanations of terms are provided. ******************************************************* ******************************************************* <Explanation of terms used in the present invention> ******************************************************* <About the (right-handed) XYZ coordinate system> Regarding the present invention, the coordinate system shall adopt a right-handed XYZ coordinate system. In principle, the XYZ coordinate system is defined as follows (Figure 1). The X direction refers to the direction from the front to the back (horizontal direction). The Y direction refers to the vertical direction (anti-gravity direction). The Z direction refers to the direction from the left side to the right side (horizontal direction) facing X. With the center of gravity of the object (e.g., a cadaver) as the center, the side closer to the center is defined as the inner side, and the side farther from the center is defined as the outer side. ******************************************************* <Relationship between the XYZ Coordinate System and the Six Views (Front View, Rear View, Plan View, Bottom View, Left Side View, Right Side View)> Hereinafter, the relationship between the XYZ coordinate system and the six views will be described. Already, in <(right-handed) XYZ coordinate system>, the definition of the (right-handed) XYZ coordinate system has been given (Figure 1). In such an XYZ coordinate system, the six views (front view, rear view, plan view, bottom view, left side view, right side view) are defined as follows (Figure 1) Among the six views, first, the front view is defined. In the object, the view that an observer on the front side observes the object on the rear side is defined as the front view (from the paper surface side to the paper back side is the X direction). Then, the rear view is defined. The view that an observer on the rear side observes the object on the front side is defined as the rear view (from the paper surface side to the paper back side is the -X direction). Next, the plan view is defined. The view that an observer on the upper side observes the object on the lower side is defined as the plan view (from the paper surface side to the paper back side is the -Y direction). Then, the bottom view is defined. The view that an observer on the lower side observes the object on the upper side is defined as the bottom view (from the paper surface side to the paper back side is the Y direction). Next, the left side view is defined. The view that an observer on the left side observes the object on the right side is defined as the left side view (from the paper surface side to the paper back side is the Z direction). Next, we define the right side view as the view seen by an observer on the right side observing an object on the left side (the direction from the front of the paper to the back of the paper is the -Z direction). Here, A front perspective view is a view in which an observer at the front side observes an object at the rear side from the upper right. ******************************************************* A corpse (including an animal's corpse) refers to the body that has been left behind after the soul has departed. Corpses include not only human bodies but also animal bodies. In this invention, the processing of a corpse refers to a method of processing a corpse in which the corpse (including animal corpses) is cooled to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen, and then the entire corpse is mechanically pulverized into fine particles, which are then freeze-dried to produce fine, dry pulverized particles. *Finely ground material 3 refers to finely ground material obtained by mechanically grinding a corpse (including animal corpses) after cooling the corpse (including animal corpses) with liquid nitrogen to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. 〇 "Fine grain" means "very fine grains." Freeze-drying is the process of removing moisture from frozen, pulverized particles by decompressing them while they are still frozen. The illustration of the decompression pipes and valves is omitted in Figures 4 and 5. The term "fine-grained dried pulverized material 4" refers to a fine-grained pulverized material (dried fine-grained pulverized material) obtained by freeze-drying a pulverized material that has been frozen and pulverized. Liquid nitrogen is nitrogen in a liquid state, also known as liquefied nitrogen (liquid nitrogen). It is an ultra-low temperature liquid with a boiling point of -196°C, and is produced by removing other components from air using the temperature difference that turns a gas into a liquid. Liquid nitrogen can be obtained by purchasing it from a gas supplier or specialized trading company that manufactures and sells pressurized gas. 〇Cooling refers to lowering the temperature of a corpse (including an animal corpse). Mechanical comminution refers to the process of applying mechanical (mechanical) energy to a corpse (including animal corpses) to break it into smaller pieces. Mechanical pulverization includes pulverization by mechanical vibration and pulverization by vibration. * Crushed material refers to material obtained by mechanically crushing a corpse (including animal corpses). -Biodegradability refers to the property of a substance to be broken down by the action of living organisms such as microorganisms. *Biodegradable containers are containers made of biodegradable materials. Coffin 2 is usually a wooden box in which a corpse is placed and buried, but in this invention it refers to a biodegradable coffin in which the corpse is placed. Applying horizontal vibrations to the freezer means applying horizontal vibrations to the freezer (Z direction) to apply horizontal vibrations to the body (Z direction). Applying vertical vibration to the freezer means applying vertical (Y direction) vibration to the freezer, thereby applying vertical (Y direction) vibration to the body. *Sealed means that the freezer compartment is closed tightly with no gaps. - Freezer room 20 refers to a room where corpses (including animal corpses) or biodegradable coffins containing corpses are placed. This means that the freezer compartment moves left and right horizontally (Z direction), which causes the freezer compartment to vibrate left and right horizontally (Z direction). This refers to the freezing chamber moving in the vertical direction (Y direction) to apply vertical vibrations (Y direction) to the freezing chamber. Plant fertilizer is defined in the Fertilizer Quality Assurance Act as "a substance applied to land for the purpose of providing nutrients to plants or bringing about chemical changes in the soil to contribute to plant cultivation, and a substance applied to plants for the purpose of providing nutrients to plants." The significance of burying the container in the ground is that once buried, the biodegradable container will decompose through the action of organisms such as microorganisms, and the fine dried, pulverized material inside the container will also be biodegraded. The outer surface parts 10, 11, 12 of the corpse refer to the area extending from the outer surface of the corpse toward the interior of the corpse, and refer to the area where the outer surface of the corpse is pulverized by applying a jet stream 21 of liquid nitrogen and vibration. The liquid nitrogen jet stream 21 allows the liquid nitrogen to easily penetrate the outer surfaces 10, 11, and 12 of the corpse, where the water contained in the outer surfaces is cooled to the vaporization temperature of -196°C by the liquid nitrogen, causing expansion and resulting in frost cracking. Combined with the low-temperature brittleness, when the corpse is vibrated, the outer surfaces 10, 11, and 12 of the corpse are crushed into fine particles (Figure 5). The remains of the body refer to the internal parts of the body after the outer surface parts 10, 11, 12 of the body are instantly cooled by the jet stream 21 of liquid nitrogen as described above, turning them into finely crushed particles, and the outer surface parts of the body are removed (Figure 5). The remains of the body would be like the internal part of a radish that remains after the outer surface has been removed. The outer surface parts 11 and 12 of the body remains refer to the area extending from the outer surface of the body remains to the interior of the body, and refer to the area where the outer surface of the body remains is pulverized by applying a jet of liquid nitrogen and vibration (Figure 5). A liquid nitrogen jet 21 is a high-speed liquid nitrogen jet that is ejected from a small hole into space in a nearly unidirectional flow (Figure 4). Frost cracking is a phenomenon in which the outer surface 0, 11, 12 of a corpse or remains of a body cracks longitudinally due to the expansion pressure caused by the expansion of water contained in the outer surface of the corpse or remains of a body due to cooling by liquid nitrogen. Frost cracks are the cracked areas caused by the frost crack phenomenon described above. Liquid nitrogen penetrates through the frost cracks to the outer surfaces 10, 11, and 12 of the body, instantly cooling them (Figure 5). "Instantaneous cooling from the freezing start temperature to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen by ejecting a jet stream 21 of liquid nitrogen" is abbreviated as "liquid nitrogen cooling process." "When a jet stream of liquid nitrogen 21 is sprayed to instantly cool the body from the freezing start temperature to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen, the jet stream of liquid nitrogen 21 is directed at the outer surface of the body, and vibration is applied to pulverize the outer surface 10, 11, 12 of the body into finely pulverized material" is abbreviated as "pulverization by vibration, and at the same time, pulverization by the jet stream of liquid nitrogen 21, etc." The invention described in claim 10 can be briefly described as follows: The outer surface 10 of the corpse 1 (including the corpse of an animal) is subjected to "liquid nitrogen cooling treatment", "pulverization by vibration and simultaneous pulverization by a jet stream of liquid nitrogen", and "freeze-drying" is performed. The method for processing the remains of the body 1 (including animal remains) is characterized by subjecting the outer surface 11 of the remains to a "liquid nitrogen cooling treatment," followed by "pulverization by vibration and simultaneous pulverization by a jet stream of liquid nitrogen," and then "freeze-drying" to produce a finely dried and pulverized material 4. The invention described in claim 11 can be briefly described as follows: "The method for processing a corpse according to claim 10 further comprises subjecting the outer surface 12 of the remaining part of the corpse 1 (including animal corpse) to a 'liquid nitrogen cooling treatment', 'pulverizing by vibration and simultaneously pulverizing by a jet stream of liquid nitrogen', and 'freeze-drying' to produce a finely dried pulverized material 4."
