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 treating a corpse that is not restricted by location and can be memorialized in various ways, without restrictions on the implementation location such as cremation or tree burial. ○ The 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 corpse using liquid nitrogen that can shorten the time required to cool the corpse to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. In the invention of a method for treating a corpse (including the corpse of an animal) by cooling the corpse with liquid nitrogen to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen and then mechanically pulverizing the corpse, there is a problem that the time required to cool the corpse (including the corpse of an animal) with liquid nitrogen to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen is too long. (This is because the rate at which liquid nitrogen infiltrates from the outside of the corpse to the center of the corpse through the cracking part is slow.) It is important to shorten the time required to cool a corpse (including the corpse of an animal) with liquid nitrogen to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. By adopting the characteristic configurations described in claims 10 to 12, the present invention aims to solve the sixth problem to be solved.

Means for solving the problem

[0006] The means for solving the problem is the invention described in each claim of the [Claims] of this application. To eliminate doubts in the interpretation of terms in the claims, the specification, the drawings, etc., the following explanations of terms will be provided. ******************************************************* ******************************************************* <Explanation of terms in the present invention> ******************************************************* <Regarding the (right-handed) XYZ coordinate system> In the present invention, the coordinate system is 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 left to right when facing X (horizontal direction). With the center of gravity of the object (e.g., a corpse) as the center, the side closer to the center is considered the inside, and the side farther from the center is considered the outside. ******************************************************* <XYZ座標系と6面図(正面図、背面図、平面図、底面図、左側面図、右側面図)との関係> The relationship between the XYZ coordinate system and the six-sided drawing will be explained below. We have already defined the (right-handed) XYZ coordinate system in <About the (right-handed) XYZ coordinate system> (Figure 1). In this XYZ coordinate system, six views (front view, back view, top view, bottom view, left side view, right side view) are defined as follows (Figure 1). First, let us define the front view among the six views. The view seen by an observer at the front of an object observing an object at the back is defined as the front view (the X direction is from the front of the paper to the back of the paper). Next, we define the rear view as the view seen by an observer on the rear side observing an object on the front side (the direction from the paper surface to the back of the paper is the -X direction). Next, we define a plan view. The view seen by an observer at the top observing an object below is defined as a plan view (the -Y direction is from the front of the paper to the back of the paper). Next, we define the bottom view as the view seen by an observer at the bottom observing an object at the top (the Y direction is from the front of the paper to the back of the paper). Next, we define the left side view as the view seen by an observer on the left side observing an object on the right side (the Z direction is from the front of the paper to the back of the paper). And, the right side view is defined. The right side view (the direction from the front side of the paper to the back side of the paper is the -Z direction) is defined as the view that an observer on the right side can see when observing an object on the left side. Here, The front perspective view refers to the view that an observer on the front side can see when observing an object on the back side from the upper right. ******************************************************* 〇A corpse (including the corpse of an animal) refers to the body left after the soul has departed. The corpse includes not only the human body but also the body of an animal. 〇The treatment of a corpse, in the present invention, refers to a method of treating a corpse (including the corpse of an animal), which is to cool the corpse (including the corpse of an animal) with liquid nitrogen to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen, and then mechanically crush the entire corpse to obtain a finely granular crushed product, and perform freeze-drying to obtain a dry crushed product of fine particles. 〇The finely granular crushed product 3 refers to a finely granular crushed product obtained by cooling a corpse (including the corpse of an animal) with liquid nitrogen to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen and then mechanically crushing the corpse. 〇"Finely granular" means "in a very fine granular state". 〇Freeze-drying means removing moisture and drying by reducing the pressure while keeping the frozen crushed product of fine particles in a frozen state. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the illustration of pipes, valves, etc. for reducing the pressure is omitted. 〇The dry crushed product of fine particles 4 refers to a crushed product of fine particles obtained by freeze-drying the frozen crushed product of fine particles (a dried crushed product of fine particles). 〇Liquid nitrogen refers to nitrogen in a liquid state, also called liquefied nitrogen (in English, liquid nitrogen). It is a liquid with an ultra-low temperature of -196°C boiling point, and is manufactured by removing other components from the air using the temperature difference at which the gas turns into a liquid. To obtain liquid nitrogen, it is purchased from gas companies or specialized trading companies that manufacture and sell high-pressure gases. 〇Cooling means lowering the temperature of a corpse (including the corpse of an animal). Mechanical pulverization refers to an operation of applying mechanical (mechanical energy) to a corpse (including the corpse of an animal) to make it finer. Pulverization by mechanical vibration and pulverization by vibration are also included in mechanical pulverization. Pulverized matter refers to a substance obtained by mechanically pulverizing a corpse (including the corpse of an animal). Biodegradability refers to the property of a substance being decomposed by the action of organisms such as microorganisms. A biodegradable container refers to a container made of a biodegradable material. The coffin 2 usually refers to a wooden box for putting a corpse for burial, but in the present invention, it refers to a biodegradable coffin containing a corpse. Applying horizontal vibration in the left - right direction to the freezer means applying horizontal vibration in the left - right direction (Z - direction) to the corpse by applying horizontal vibration in the left - right direction (Z - direction) to the freezer. Applying vertical vibration to the freezer means applying vertical vibration in the vertical direction (Y - direction) to the corpse by applying vertical vibration in the vertical direction (Y - direction) to the freezer. Being sealed means that the freezer is closed tightly so that there are no gaps. The freezer 20 refers to a room where a corpse (including the corpse of an animal) or a biodegradable coffin containing a corpse is placed. And when the freezer moves in the horizontal direction (Z - direction), applying horizontal vibration in the left - right direction (Z - direction) to the freezer means applying horizontal vibration in the left - right direction (Z - direction) to the freezer. When the freezer moves in the vertical direction (Y - direction), applying vertical vibration in the vertical direction (Y - direction) to the freezer means applying vertical vibration in the vertical direction (Y - direction) to the freezer. Plant fertilizer is defined in the law regarding the assurance of fertilizer quality, etc. as "substances applied to the land for the purpose of providing nutrition for plants or causing chemical changes in the soil to contribute to plant cultivation and substances applied to plants for the purpose of providing nutrition for plants". The meaning of burial in soil is that after burial in soil, the biodegradable container decomposes by the action of organisms such as microorganisms, and the dry pulverized matter of the fine particles in the container is also biodegraded. ○ The outer surfaces 10, 11, 12 of the corpse refer to the parts within a certain range from the outer surface of the corpse towards the interior of the corpse, and refer to the range where the outer surfaces of the corpse are pulverized by applying the jet flow 21 of liquid nitrogen and applying vibration. Due to the jet flow 21 of liquid nitrogen, the liquid nitrogen easily infiltrates into the outer surfaces 10, 11, 12 of the corpse. At the said outer surfaces, the moisture contained in the outer surfaces is cooled by the liquid nitrogen to near the vaporization temperature of -196°C and expands, resulting in a cracking phenomenon. In combination with the low-temperature brittleness, by applying vibration to the corpse, the outer surfaces 10, 11, 12 of the corpse become pulverized matter of fine particles (Figure 5). ○ The remaining part of the corpse refers to the internal part of the corpse after the outer surfaces 10, 11, 12 of the corpse are instantaneously cooled by the jet flow 21 of liquid nitrogen as described above and become pulverized matter of fine particles, and the outer surfaces of the corpse are removed (Figure 5). The remaining part of the corpse, for example, is equivalent to the internal part of the rakkyo remaining after removing the outer surface of the rakkyo. ○ The outer surfaces 11, 12 of the remaining part of the corpse refer to the parts within a certain range from the outer surface of the remaining part of the corpse towards the interior of the corpse, and refer to the range where the outer surfaces of the remaining part of the corpse are pulverized by applying the jet flow of liquid nitrogen and applying vibration (Figure 5). ○ The jet flow 21 of liquid nitrogen refers to liquid nitrogen with a velocity that is ejected from a small hole into the space in a substantially one-directional flow (Figure 4). ○ Freezing crack refers to the phenomenon in which the outer surfaces 0, 11, 12 of the corpse or the remaining part of the corpse crack in the longitudinal direction of the corpse due to the expansion pressure generated by the expansion of the moisture contained in the outer surface of the corpse or the remaining part of the corpse due to the cooling of the liquid nitrogen. ○ The freezing crack part refers to the cracked part due to the above-mentioned freezing crack phenomenon. By infiltrating the liquid nitrogen into the outer surfaces 10, 11, 12 of the corpse through the freezing crack part, the outer surfaces 0, 11, 12 of the corpse can be instantaneously cooled (Figure 5). ○ "Spraying the jet flow 21 of liquid nitrogen to instantaneously cool from the freezing start temperature to near the boiling point of liquid nitrogen" is abbreviated as "cooling treatment with liquid nitrogen". "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."
