Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a device for extinguishing cigarettes, in particular to a hole structure for quickly extinguishing cigarettes by restricting air flow, and belongs to the technical field of daily necessities. Background Art

[0002] Traditional methods of extinguishing cigarettes are mostly based on the principle of asphyxiation. They extinguish cigarettes by isolating oxygen, and have high requirements for preventing air flow or sealing. For example, common ashtrays extinguish cigarettes by pressing or covering them. Although these methods can achieve the purpose of extinguishing cigarettes, there are some problems. On the one hand, these devices are often complex in structure and have high manufacturing costs; on the other hand, due to the need to consider sealing, they are not convenient to use and are more cumbersome to clean cigarette butts. In addition, some simple ways of extinguishing cigarettes, such as soaking in water and burying in fine sand, can extinguish cigarettes, but the subsequent treatment is more troublesome and easily causes environmental pollution and sanitation problems. However, methods of extinguishing cigarettes, such as pinching out and stepping on them, have disadvantages such as indecent movements, lack of hygiene, and possible fire hazards.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a novel, convenient, and non-sealing smoke extinguishing device. Summary of the invention

[0008] The hole is a through hole, and a structure for preventing cigarettes from falling is arranged inside the hole or at the bottom thereof.

[0009] Preferably, the difference between the diameter of the smoke-extinguishing hole and the outer diameter of the cigarette is 0.5-1.0 mm, and the depth of the smoke-extinguishing hole is 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the length of the cigarette.

[0010] Preferably, the smoke extinguishing hole is made of one or a combination of plastic, metal, ceramic, glass, stone, and solid wood.

[0011] Preferably, when the smoke-extinguishing hole is a single hole, it is in the shape of a small tube. If it is a thin-walled through hole made of soft material, the burning part of the cigarette cannot be exposed at the bottom during use, and the upper end of the tube wall needs to be pinched; if it is made of hard material, the middle and lower part or the bottom of the hole is provided with a structure to prevent the cigarette from falling.

[0012] Preferably, the cigarette extinguishing hole is a hole combination block composed of a plurality of holes, the holes are smooth through holes, the hole combination block can be placed on the bottom plane of an ashtray or a cigarette butt collection tray, and after picking up the hole combination block, the cigarette butts can fall naturally.

[0013] Preferably, for a hole assembly block whose holes are difficult to clean or whose material needs to be protected, the diameter of the hole is increased to facilitate placement of a matching inner liner.

[0014] Preferably, when the cigarette extinguishing holes are used in public places, a plurality of holes are combined together, the holes are smooth through holes, and are equipped with a bottom that prevents or allows cigarette butts to fall.

[0015] Preferably, the smoke extinguishing hole or holes are attached to other appliances or articles.

[0030] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] A cigarette extinguishing hole, which is one or a group of vertical holes made of solid material, is used to extinguish cigarettes. The diameter of the hole is larger than the outer diameter of the cigarette, and the depth can accommodate the part above the burning part of the cigarette and the excess part; the middle and lower part or the bottom of the hole is provided with a structure to prevent the cigarette from falling.

[0032] The difference between the diameter of the smoke-extinguishing hole and the outer diameter of the cigarette is 0.5-1.0 mm, and the depth of the hole is 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the length of the cigarette.

[0033] The smoke extinguishing hole may be made of one or a combination of solid materials such as plastic, metal, ceramic, glass, stone, solid wood, etc.

[0034] The cigarette extinguishing hole, when a single hole is present, is in the shape of a small tube, compact and easy to carry, similar in size and shape to a carbon pen cap; its upper end is chamfered to guide the cigarette to enter smoothly; if it is a thin-walled through hole made of soft material, care must be taken during use not to expose the burning part of the cigarette to the bottom, and the upper end of the tube wall must be pinched to prevent the cigarette from slipping; if it is a hard material, a structure to prevent the cigarette from falling is provided in the middle and lower part or the bottom of the hole to hold the cigarette and prevent it from falling; for holes made of materials that are not resistant to high temperatures, the bottom is thickened to prevent the cigarette butt from burning through it.

[0035] The cigarette extinguishing holes, when composed of a plurality of holes, form a hole combination block; the holes may be smooth through holes, and the hole combination block may be placed on a plane such as the bottom of an ashtray or a cigarette butt collecting tray. After picking up the hole combination block, the cigarette butts can fall naturally, making it easy to clean.

[0036] For hole assembly blocks whose holes are difficult to clean or whose materials need to be protected, the diameter of the holes can be appropriately increased to allow for placement of suitable inner sleeves, which is beneficial to the maintenance of the hole assembly blocks.

[0037] The smoke extinguishing holes, when used in public places, can be a combination of many holes, the holes are smooth through holes, and are equipped with a bottom that prevents or allows cigarette butts to fall, and the bottom can be implemented in various forms, such as baffles, mesh covers and other structures.

[0038] Example 1: Personal portable application

[0039] A cigarette extinguishing hole is a single hole structure in the shape of a small tube and made of plastic. The diameter of the hole is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cigarette, with a difference of 1 mm, and the depth of the hole is 1 / 2 of the length of the cigarette. The upper end is chamfered to guide the cigarette to enter smoothly. When a smoker needs to extinguish the cigarette, he only needs to insert the burning cigarette into the hole downward. Due to the limited gap between the hole and the cigarette, the air flow is very small, so that the burned part of the cigarette is in an oxygen-deficient state, and the ash produced after the cigarette burns has a flame retardant effect, so it is quickly extinguished within a few seconds. The personal portable cigarette extinguishing hole is small in size and easy to carry, similar to a carbon pen cap, and can be placed in a pocket for use at any time.

[0040] Example 2: Home and office applications

[0041] A cigarette extinguishing hole combination block is made of ceramics, with multiple holes arranged according to certain requirements. The hole is a smooth through hole, the diameter of the hole is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cigarette, and the depth of the hole is 1 / 3 of the length of the cigarette. The hole combination block is placed on the bottom plane of the ashtray. When the smoker needs to extinguish the cigarette, the cigarette can be quickly extinguished by inserting it into any hole. When the cigarette butt needs to be cleaned, the cigarette butt can be naturally dropped by picking up the hole combination block, which is convenient and quick.

[0042] Example 3: Application in public places

[0043] A cigarette extinguishing hole device for public places, which is composed of a plurality of holes combined together and is made of metal; the holes are smooth through holes, which can be placed on a flat surface in general, and can be equipped with a bottom to prevent cigarette butts from falling in special cases, and a baffle structure (chassis) is provided at the bottom; the device can be installed in public places such as airports, high-speed railway stations, and roadside trash bins to provide smokers with convenient cigarette extinguishing services; after the smoker inserts the cigarette into the hole to extinguish it, the cigarette butt is blocked by the baffle and will not fall at will; after the baffle is removed, the cigarette butt falls and can be cleaned, thereby maintaining the environmental hygiene of the public place and reducing the risk of fire.

[0044] Example 4: Smoke Extinguishing Hole with Paper Liner

[0045] For hole assembly blocks whose holes are difficult to clean or whose materials need to be protected, the diameter of the holes is appropriately increased and a paper inner liner is placed; the paper inner liner is thin and strong, low cost, and when combustion residues adhere to the inner liner, it can be replaced, which facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the hole assembly blocks.

[0046] Example 5: Implementing smoke extinguishing holes on existing appliances

[0047] One or more cigarette extinguishing holes are made of glass; the holes are straight holes, the diameter of the holes is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cigarette, and the depth of the holes is 1 / 3 of the length of the cigarette; the holes are implemented on an ashtray with raised and thickened edges or a raised center, and there are transverse holes at the bottom of the holes for easy ash discharge and cleaning; when the smoker needs to extinguish the cigarette, the cigarette can be quickly extinguished by inserting it into the hole.
