Ash pan for car

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of car parts, in particular to an ash pan for a car. The ash pan comprises a cover plate component, an inner pan body and an outer pan body. The inner pan body is embedded into the outer pan body, the cover plate component is hinged to the side wall of the outer pan body, and a torsion spring is further connected between the cover plate component and the side wall of the outer pan body and comprises a spiral spring body and two torsion arms at the tail ends of the spring body; the two torsion arms are connected with the cover plate component and the side wall of the outer pan body correspondingly; the spring body moves along with rotation of the cover plate component, when the cover plate component rotates, the torsion spring is compressed firstly till the balance transitional point of the torsion spring is passed through, the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring is converted into rotating assist force of the cover plate component; and when the cover plate component is at the balance transitional point, the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring points to the hinging center. The balance transitional point is arranged, whether a cover plate is opened or closed, after the balance transitional point is passed through, the elastic restoring force of the spring supplies the assist force to a user, and thus the situation that labor saving can be achieved when the ash pan is opened and closed is guaranteed.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of auto parts, in particular to an ashtray for vehicles. Background technique [0002] The interior of the car is a private space. When the smoke-loving passengers smoke in the car, soot can easily fall into the car and cause dirt, and the cigarette butts are also very easy to burn the car interior. For this reason, the lower part of the center console of the automobile or the position of the inner door guard plate is generally provided with an ashtray for storing cigarette butts. Common ashtray opening methods include a pull type and a flip type. The pull-out ashtray adopts a sliding fit. When the ashtray is opened to the limit, it is easy to freeze, and it is inconvenient to push the ashtray back. In addition, this type of ashtray usually has no pull assistance, and it is more laborious to open and close. The clamshell ashtray usually uses a torsion spring to assist the user in opening. The opening process is ...

Problems solved by technology

The pull-out ashtray adopts a sliding fit. When the ashtray is opened to the limit, it is easy to get stuck, and it is inconvenient to push the ashtray back. Moreover, this kind of ashtray usually does not have a pull assist, and it is laborious to open and close.

The flip-top ashtray usually uses a torsion spring to assist the user to open it. The opening process is more convenient, but the torsion spring inside the ashtray has a single force direction. When closing, it needs to overcome the force of the torsion spring to do work, thus requiring more force. , causing the closing effort
