[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides an ashtray collection device, including: an ashtray 10 and an ashtray cover 20.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The ashtray 10 is provided with a cigarette butt bin 11, and an ash cover 20 is provided on the top of the ashtray 10. The top of the ashtray 20 is provided with a delivery port 21 and an inclined portion 22. The delivery port 21 is connected to the cigarette butt bin 11, and the inclined portion 22 is arranged around the delivery port. The inclined portion 22 gradually extends downward in a direction away from the delivery port 21. The design of the inclined portion 22 makes it possible for smokers to see the ashtray 20 and shake off cigarette ashes or cigarette holders onto the inclined portion 22. The smoker will realize that the ashes or cigarette holders will slide to the ground, thereby reminding the smoker to avoid shaking off cigarette ashes and cigarette holders on the inclined portion 22, and instead try to put the ashes and cigarette holders into the delivery port 21. After the ashes or cigarette holders pass through the delivery port 21, they enter the cigarette butt bin 11, thereby achieving the collection of the ashes or cigarette holders. In addition, even if ash and a cigarette holder fall onto the inclined portion 22, the ash and the cigarette holder will slide to the ground instead of adhering to the inclined portion 22, thereby reducing the possibility of the ash cover 20 being contaminated by ash and the cigarette holder and reducing the frequency of cleaning the ash cover 20.

[0033] The cross-section of the ash cover 20 and the delivery port 21 in the present invention in the horizontal plane can be rectangular, or can be changed to a circle or other shapes. For example, if the delivery port 21 is changed to a circle, the ash cover 20 is also changed to a circle.

[0034] The present invention does not specify the color of the ashtray 20; however, the ashtray 20 can be painted in any color, such as red, yellow, or blue. The inclined portion 22 of the ashtray 20 can also be painted. Furthermore, the design of the inclined portion 22 of the ashtray 20 creates a mountain-like shape, sloping from the outside to the inside. This provides a wider area for painting than a conventional flat surface. Therefore, painting the ashtray 20 enhances its visibility and aesthetics, helping smokers avoid soiling it.

[0035] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some optional embodiments, an edge portion 23 is provided on the side of the ashtray 20, and the edge portion 23 extends downward away from the ashtray 20. When the ashtray 20 is set on the top of the ashtray 10, the edge portion 23 is arranged on the side of the ashtray 10 and is arranged around the ashtray 10, so that the position of the ashtray 20 relative to the ashtray 10 is limited by the edge portion 23, making it difficult for the ashtray 20 to shift position, thereby improving the stability of the ashtray 20.

[0036] In some optional embodiments, a guide funnel 24 is provided at the bottom of the ashtray 20, which extends downward away from the ashtray 20, and the top of the guide funnel 24 is connected to the delivery port 21. The bottom of the guide funnel 24 corresponds to the top position of the cigarette butt bin 11. The guide funnel 24 can guide the ash and the cigarette holder into the cigarette butt bin 11, avoiding the distance between the delivery port 21 and the cigarette butt bin 11 being too far, causing the ash and the cigarette holder to fall outside the cigarette butt bin 11.

[0037] In some alternative embodiments, the cross-section of the guiding funnel 24 gradually narrows in the direction from top to bottom, facilitating the guiding of cigarette ash and the cigarette butt to fall into the cigarette butt bin 11. Additionally, the shape of the guiding funnel 24 is designed such that large pieces of garbage are not easily passed through and stuck in the guiding funnel 24, thereby preventing garbage other than cigarette ash and the cigarette butt from falling into the cigarette butt bin 11 and avoiding the entry of easily ignitable large pieces of garbage, such as cigarette boxes, into the cigarette butt bin 11, thus avoiding the situation of igniting the garbage after subsequent cigarette butts enter the cigarette butt bin 11.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some alternative embodiments, a cover body 12 and a moving mechanism 13 are further provided on the ashtray 10. A bin opening 111 is provided on the cigarette butt bin 11. The cover body 12 is rotatably arranged at the bin opening 111 for opening and closing the bin opening 111. An opening window 121 and a sliding plate 122 are provided on the cover body 12. The opening window 121 communicates with the cigarette butt bin 11. The sliding plate 122 is movably arranged at the opening window 121. The moving mechanism 13 is drivingly connected to the sliding plate 122 for driving the sliding plate 122 to open and close the opening window 121. When a smoker throws cigarette ash and the cigarette butt into the feeding port 21, the moving mechanism 13 can drive the sliding plate 122 to open the opening window 121, enabling the cigarette ash and the cigarette butt to enter the cigarette butt bin 11 through the opening window 121. Subsequently, the moving mechanism 13 drives the sliding plate 122 to close the cigarette butt bin 11, sealing the cigarette butt bin 11. Since no new air flows into the cigarette butt bin 11 except for the existing air inside, the cigarette butts stored in the cigarette butt bin 11 will also be unable to continue burning due to lack of oxygen, achieving the effect of natural extinction. Since extinguishing the cigarette butts does not require water, it does not need to use water to extinguish the cigarette butts like other traditional ashtrays 10, thereby avoiding the cigarette smell contained in the water from permeating the entire room, and also avoiding the situation of a fire caused by an unextinguished cigarette butt. Moreover, the sealing of the cigarette butt bin 11 will not result in the leakage of smoke from the cigarette butt bin 11. In addition, since the ashtray collection device does not need to replace water, the cleaning work of the ashtray collection device becomes easier and simpler.

[0039] When it is necessary to clean the cigarette butt bin 11, the ashtray cover 20 is removed from the ashtray 10, and then the cover body 12 is moved to open the cigarette butt bin 11. Subsequently, the cigarette ash and the cigarette butt in the cigarette butt bin 11 can be cleaned out. In this embodiment, the cover body 12 is rotatably engaged with the ashtray 10, facilitating the cleaner to turn the cover body 12. Additionally, the bottom of the above-mentioned guiding funnel 24 extends directly above the opening window 121, facilitating the guiding of cigarette ash and the cigarette butt into the opening window 121.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, the moving mechanism 13 includes a first connecting rod 131, a second connecting rod 132, a third connecting rod 133 and a pedal 134. The first connecting rod 131 is connected to the sliding plate 122, and a sliding groove 1311 is provided on the first connecting rod 131. The second connecting rod 132 is rotatably arranged on the ashtray 10, and the second connecting rod 132 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 1311 and can rotate relative to the sliding groove 1311. The third connecting rod 133 is rotatably engaged with the second connecting rod 132 and the pedal 134 respectively, and the pedal 134 is rotatably arranged on the ashtray 10. When the smoker puts the ashtray and the cigarette butt into the feeding port 21, the pedal 134 can be stepped on to rotate the pedal 134. When the pedal 134 rotates, it drives the second connecting rod 132 to rotate through the third connecting rod 133. After the second connecting rod 132 rotates, it drives the first connecting rod 131 and the sliding plate 122 to translate, so that the opening 121 is opened. When it is necessary to clean the cigarette butt bin 11, the cleaner flips the cover 12, and the cover 12 drives the first connecting rod 131 to flip together. At this time, the first connecting rod 131 can slide relative to the second connecting rod 132 along the sliding groove 1311, so that the first connecting rod 131 can move relative to the second connecting rod 132 to adapt to the rotation of the cover 12, avoiding driving the second connecting rod 132, the third connecting rod 133 and the pedal 134 to move when the cover 12 flips.

[0041] In some alternative embodiments, slide rails 123 are provided on the cover 12 on both sides of the sliding plate 122 respectively, and the sliding plate 122 is slidably engaged with the slide rails 123, so as to conveniently guide the stable movement of the sliding plate 122.

[0042] In some alternative embodiments, the moving mechanism 13 further includes a plurality of elastic members 135. The elastic members 135 are arranged on the cover 12 and connected to the sliding plate 122. When the third connecting rod 133 drives the sliding plate 122 to open the opening 121, the elastic members 135 are stretched or compressed to generate elastic deformation. When the pedal 134 is stepped on by the smoker, when the pedal 134 rotates, it drives the second connecting rod 132 to rotate through the third connecting rod 133. After the second connecting rod 132 rotates, it drives the first connecting rod 131 and the sliding plate 122 to translate, so that the opening 121 is opened, and at this time the elastic body generates elastic deformation; when the smoker releases the pedal 134, under the elastic force of the elastic body, the second cover plate retracts to close the opening 121. When the second cover plate retracts, it drives the first connecting rod 131 to move, and further drives the second connecting rod 132, the third connecting rod 133 and the pedal 134 to return to their original positions. This design makes the opening and closing operations of the opening 121 extremely convenient and simple. In this embodiment, the elastic member 135 is a spring.

[0043] In some alternative embodiments, the moving mechanism 13 includes two third linkages 133 and two pedals 134. The two pedals 134 are respectively oriented towards both sides of the ashtray 10. The pedals 134 are correspondingly connected to the second linkage 132 through the third linkages 133. The two pedals 134 facilitate smokers to step on the pedals 134 on both sides of the ashtray 10, and facilitate smokers to operate the moving mechanism 13 at different positions to open the opening window 121.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, a cavity 14 is provided at the bottom of the ashtray 10. The cavity 14 has openings formed on both sides of the ashtray 10 respectively. The two pedals 134 are rotatably disposed in the cavity 14 and are respectively oriented towards the openings. Smokers insert their feet into the openings and then step on the pedals 134. The pedals 134 can be hidden in the cavity 14, improving the neatness on the outside of the ashtray 10 and preventing the pedals 134 from obstructing pedestrian passage.

[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
