Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a body cooling device for cooling a body in order to prevent the body from decaying after death, through night and funeral, and before being cremated.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to prevent the decay of the body after death, through nights, funerals, and before being cremated, the body is cooled by placing dry ice around the body. , The body is cooled by removing the heat of sublimation from the body.

However, the sublimation point (temperature at which vaporization) of dry ice is as low as −76 ° C., and it is sublimated by ordinary means and diffused into the air. Therefore, when the need arises, much larger than necessary amount is obtained, and consumable measures such as cooling and cooling are taken, but its disappearance is a matter of time and it cannot withstand long-term storage. There is a problem to say. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain it in some areas, and there is a problem that it will cause trouble in the summer.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The problem to be solved by the invention is that the above-mentioned conventional means for cooling a body using dry ice should be obtained in a considerably larger amount than necessary and kept cool. Although consumable measures such as cooling have been taken, its disappearance is a matter of time, it cannot withstand long-term storage, and it is difficult to obtain it in some regions, which causes troubles in summer. is there.

[0005]

A means for solving the problems will be described with reference to the drawings. According to the first aspect of the invention, when the refrigerant is circulated, the refrigerant vapor is compressed, and the condensed refrigerant is expanded and evaporated, the heat of vaporization is repeatedly taken from the object to be cooled, so that the object to be cooled is The cooling device includes a refrigerator 10 for cooling, and includes a hollow cooling plate 23 through which a refrigerant to be applied to a body 30, which is an object to be cooled, is passed.

According to the second aspect of the invention, when the refrigerant is circulated, the refrigerant vapor is compressed, and the condensed refrigerant is expanded and evaporated, the heat of vaporization is repeatedly taken from the object to be cooled, and A cooling device having a refrigerator 10 for cooling a cooling object, which is an antifreeze liquid 22 enclosed in a plastic bag 21 applied to a body 30 which is an object to be cooled, and where the body is cooled via the antifreeze liquid 22. Cooling including a hollow cooling plate 23 through which a refrigerant passes, a heat insulating material 25 made of polyurethane or the like for covering the back surface of the cooling plate 23, and a cover 26 made of a polyvinyl chloride plate or the like for fixing the heat insulating material 25 to the cooling plate 23. The refrigerator 20 is provided, and the refrigerator 10 and the cooler 20 are connected by a Teflon-made flexible tube 16.

[0007]

The compressor 11 of the refrigerator 10 is started and the cooler 20 is activated.
The cooling plate 23 is cooled, and the antifreeze liquid 22 of the cooler 20 is applied mainly to the chest and abdomen of the body 30 lying on the bed or in the casket to cool the body. At that time, the cooling plate 23
Since the antifreeze liquid enclosed in the bag 21 is interposed between the body and the body, the heat of the body is effectively transmitted to the refrigerant in the cooling plate 23 without allowing the inclusion of a heat-defective conductor such as air. It has excellent cooling performance.

EXAMPLES In the examples, the body cooling apparatus of the present invention circulates a refrigerant, compresses the refrigerant vapor, expands the condensed refrigerant, and evaporates the vaporized heat to remove the heat of vaporization from the object to be cooled. A refrigerator for cooling the object to be cooled by repeatedly performing the above is provided, and is configured as follows.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a refrigerator, which is a reciprocating compressor 11 for compressing refrigerant vapor, which is driven by a 100-volt power source,
The condenser 12 that radiates and condenses the refrigerant vapor that has been compressed and has a high temperature, and the capillary tube (capillary tube) through which the refrigerant exiting the condenser 12 is pressure-decreased, expanded, and temperature-decreased. 13, a cooler 20 (which will be described in detail later) that cools the body by passing the low-temperature refrigerant vapor that has exited the capillary tube 13, and a refrigerant circulation path 15 that guides and circulates the refrigerant to each of the above devices. . The refrigerator 10 is housed in a case except for the cooler 20 and the flexible tube 16.

Explaining the cooler 20, reference numeral 22 denotes a plastic bag 21 to be applied to the body to be cooled.
An antifreeze liquid enclosed in 23 is a hollow cooling plate made of aluminum through which a refrigerant is cooled for cooling the body through the antifreeze liquid 22, and is curved in an arc shape with a radius of about 200 mm and a width of about 340 mm, It is formed in a plate shape having a length of 380 mm. Reference numeral 25 is a heat insulating material for preventing dew condensation, which is made of polyurethane or the like for covering the back surface of the cooling plate 23, and 26 is a cover made of a polyvinyl chloride plate or the like for fixing the heat insulating material 25 to the cooling plate 23. Reference numeral 16 is a Teflon flexible tube that connects the refrigerant circulation path 15 and the cooling plate 23. The case in which the refrigerator 10 is housed is placed at a distance so that the mourner cannot see it, and the flexible tube and the like are made thin so as to be inconspicuous.

[0011]

Since the present invention is configured as described above,
There are no obstacles to the acquisition and storage seen with dry ice, and the body can be easily cooled at any time and place as long as it can be used with a 100-volt power source. No worries, and once purchased, it can be used repeatedly. Further, when a flexible tube made of Teflon is used, the flexibility is improved as compared with a flexible tube made of metal.
