[0049] Example 1

[0050] This embodiment discloses an anti-theft device for ash and butt collectors in public restrooms in hospitals. This device, through a locking mechanism, addresses existing issues such as the impact of lost ash and butt collectors on effective management of hospital smoking areas, increased cleaning difficulties, and significant safety hazards posed by improperly handled cigarette butts. Details are provided below.

[0051] See also Figure 1 , comprising a mounting portion 1 and a positioning portion 2. The positioning portion 2 is detachably mounted on the mounting portion 1. In this embodiment, the ash and butt collector 3 is fixedly mounted on the positioning portion 2. The mounting portion 1 is provided with a locking unit 101, and the positioning portion 2 is secured to the mounting portion 1 via the locking unit 101. See the following structure for details.

[0052] To fix the positioning portion 2 on the mounting portion 1, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The mounting portion 1 also includes a mounting plate 102, with the locking unit 101 vertically mounted on the mounting plate 102. The mounting plate 102 serves as the foundation for the entire mounting structure, securing the ash and butt collector 3 and the positioning portion 2 to a wall or other supporting surface. The locking unit 101 provides a safety lock to prevent the positioning portion 2 from separating from the mounting portion 1.

[0053] The locking unit 101 includes a bottom supporting plate 111 and a cam lock 112 . The bottom supporting plate 111 is vertically arranged on one side of the mounting plate 102 , and the cam lock 112 is fixedly arranged on the bottom supporting plate 111 .

[0054] A bottom support plate 111 is positioned perpendicular to one side of the mounting plate 102, supporting the cam lock 112 and helping to transfer force from the lock to the mounting plate 102, thereby ensuring that the entire device is stably secured in its intended position. In this embodiment, the cam lock 112 is a triangular lock. The unique unlocking mechanism of the triangular cam lock 112 makes it difficult to open with ordinary tools, enhancing the anti-theft effectiveness.

[0055] In order to fix the ash and butt collector 3 on the positioning part 2, see Figure 2 、 Figure 5 The positioning portion 2 includes a mounting frame 201 and a fixing mechanism 202. The fixing mechanism 202 is arranged inside the mounting frame 201. The ash and butt collector 3 is placed on the mounting frame 201. The mounting frame 201 fixes the ash and butt collector 3 to the mounting portion 1 through the fixing mechanism 202 arranged inside it.

[0056] The mounting frame 201 is a frame structure for accommodating and fixing the ash and cigarette butt collector 3. The design of the mounting frame 201 can not only provide physical support for the ash and cigarette butt collector 3, but also provide a stable working environment for the locking mechanism 202.

[0057] The pinning mechanism 202 is located inside the mounting frame 201 and is responsible for firmly connecting the ash and butt collector 3 to the mounting portion 1. It ensures that the ash and butt collector cannot be easily removed by inserting the pin locking mechanism.

[0058] In order to stably place the ash and butt collector 3, see Figure 4 The placement frame 201 includes a positioning sleeve 211, a positioning support 212, a connecting vertical plate 213 and a sliding box 214. The positioning sleeve 211 is arranged on the top of the connecting vertical plate 213, and the positioning support 212 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting vertical plate 213. The connecting vertical plate 213 is integrally arranged with one side of the positioning sleeve 211 and the positioning support 212. The back side of the connecting vertical plate 213 is integrally connected to the sliding box 214, and the pinning mechanism 202 is arranged inside the sliding box 214.

[0059] A box cover 215 is provided at the notch of the sliding box 214, and a limiting protrusion 216 is provided on the box cover 215. A limiting groove 121 is provided on the mounting plate 102, and the placement frame 201 is slidably set in the limiting groove 121 of the mounting plate 102 through the limiting protrusion 216 on the box cover 215.

[0060] The positioning sleeve 211 is located at the top of the connecting plate 213 and is used to guide and fix the upper part of the ash and cigarette butt collector 3 to ensure that it is correctly positioned. The positioning support 212 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate 213 to provide support for the bottom of the ash and cigarette butt collector 3 to prevent it from shifting. The connecting plate 213 serves as the core supporting component of the placement frame 201 and is integrally formed with the positioning sleeve 211 and the positioning support 212 to ensure the integrity and strength of the structure. The back side of the connecting plate 213 is also integrally connected to the sliding box 214 to form a compact and sturdy frame. The sliding box 214 contains the pinning mechanism 202, which is responsible for achieving locking between the ash and cigarette butt collector 3 and the mounting portion 1. The design of the sliding box 214 allows the placement frame 201 to slide along the limiting groove 121 on the mounting plate 102, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0061] In addition, a locking groove 217 is formed at the bottom of the positioning bracket 212 , and the locking tongue of the cam lock 112 cooperates with the locking groove 217 to lock the positioning bracket 212 and the placement frame 201 on the bottom support plate 111 .

[0062] The locking groove 217 is provided at the bottom of the positioning support 212 for engaging the locking tongue of the cam lock 112. The above structure allows the bottom support plate 111 to be fixed to the positioning support 212 and the entire mounting frame 201 by mechanical locking, thereby locking the positioning portion 2.

[0063] To achieve the locking of the ash and butt collector 3, see Figure 5 The ash and butt collector 3 is provided with a card slot corresponding to the pinning mechanism 202. The pinning mechanism 202 includes a pin rod 221 and a compression spring A222. When the mounting bracket 201 is slidably set at the limiting groove 121 of the mounting plate 102 through the limiting protrusion 216 on the box cover 215, one end of the pin rod 221 penetrates and slides to connect the box cover 215, and then abuts the mounting plate 102. The other end of the pin rod 221 penetrates and slides to connect the bottom plate of the sliding box 214 and the connecting vertical plate 213 in turn, and then is clamped and connected to the card slot of the ash and butt collector 3.

[0064] Spring seats 223 are provided on both sides of the pin rod 221 , and the compression spring A222 is provided between the spring seats 223 and the inner wall of the sliding box 214 .

[0065] One end of the pin rod 221 passing through the box cover 215 is a smooth arc-shaped end.

[0066] The slots in the ash and butt collector 3 engage with the pin 221, achieving a locking function. The pin 221 is responsible for securing the ash and butt collector 3 to the mounting bracket 201. Compression springs A222 are located between spring seats 223 on either side of the pin 221 and the inner wall of the sliding box 214, providing a spring force that allows the pin 221 to automatically return to its original position and maintain contact. Spring seats 223, located on either side of the pin 221, support the compression springs A222, ensuring their proper operation.

[0067] With the above structure, when the ash and butt collector 3 needs to be locked, the ash and butt collector 3 is placed on the mounting bracket 201, and the mounting bracket 201 is aligned with the limiting groove 121 on the mounting plate 102, so that the limiting protrusion 216 on the box cover 215 enters the limiting groove 121. The mounting bracket 201 is then slid along the limiting groove 121 until it reaches the predetermined position. At this point, the positioning sleeve 211 and the positioning bracket 212 respectively support the upper and lower parts of the ash and butt collector 3.

[0068] When the mounting bracket 201 slides into the limiting groove 121, one end of the pin 221 will first abut against the mounting plate 102. As the mounting bracket 201 continues to slide, the pin 221, under the action of the compression spring A222, successively penetrates and slides through the bottom plate of the sliding box 214 and the connecting plate 213, and finally engages with the slot of the ash and butt collector 3, thereby locking the ash and butt collector 3.

[0069] In this embodiment, a warning slogan may be posted or engraved on the front side of the positioning sleeve 211, thereby providing an obvious warning, improving the user's compliance awareness, and reducing unnecessary vandalism or theft.

[0070] Example 2

[0071] The same points as the above embodiment will not be repeated here, but the differences are as follows:

[0072] To further enhance its anti-theft effect, see Figure 5 、 Figure 6 In this embodiment, an alarm unit 203 is further provided inside the sliding box 214. The alarm unit 203 includes a battery compartment 231, a micro switch 232 and a sounder 233. The sounder 233 is provided inside the sliding box 214 below the locking mechanism 202. The battery compartment 231 and the micro switch 232 are provided in a left-right structure inside the sliding box 214 below the sounder 233.

[0073] The battery compartment 231 provides power support for the entire alarm system, ensuring that the sounder 233 can function normally when needed.

[0074] The micro switch 232 is a short-rod paddle switch. A rectangular window 218 is provided on the box cover 215 corresponding to the paddle of the micro switch 232. When the mounting bracket 201 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 121 of the mounting plate 102 through the limiting protrusion 216 on the box cover 215, the paddle of the micro switch 232 passes through the rectangular window 218 and abuts against the mounting plate 102.

[0075] Microswitch 232 utilizes a short-paddle switch design. Its paddle is located within a rectangular window 218 in the cover 215. When the mounting bracket 201 is properly installed, the paddle of microswitch 232 passes through the rectangular window 218 and abuts against the mounting plate 102, thereby altering the circuit state. Sounder 233 is used to sound an alarm. The circuit connection between sounder 233 and battery compartment 231 is controlled by microswitch 232.

[0076] When the micro switch 232 abuts against the mounting plate 102 , the circuit between the sounder 233 and the battery compartment 231 is in a power-off state.

[0077] When the mounting bracket 201 is slidably positioned in the limiting groove 121 of the mounting plate 102 via the limiting protrusion 216, the paddle of the microswitch 232 passes through the rectangular window 218 and abuts the mounting plate 102. In this state, the microswitch 232 is in the open position, deenergizing the circuit between the sounder 233 and the battery compartment 231 to prevent false alarms. If someone attempts to illegally remove or move the mounting bracket 201, causing the paddle of the microswitch 232 to detach from the mounting plate 102, the microswitch 232 will switch to the closed position. This change immediately connects the circuit between the sounder 233 and the battery compartment 231, causing the sounder 233 to begin emitting a loud alarm to attract the attention of those around it and act as a deterrent.

[0078] At the same time, in this embodiment, a signal transceiver can be installed inside the sliding box 214. When the micro switch 232 is switched to the closed state, the signal transceiver will immediately transmit a signal to notify the management personnel that the placement rack 201 has been illegally moved.

[0079] Example 3

[0080] The similarities with the above embodiments and their combinations are not repeated here, and the differences are as follows:

[0081] To prevent thieves from removing the ash and butt collector 3 by destroying the positioning sleeve 211, see Figure 2 、 Figure 6 In this embodiment, an anti-destruction unit 204 is further provided inside the sliding box 214 above the alarm unit 203. The anti-destruction unit 204 includes a pull wire 241, a pulley 242, a column 243, an abutment plate 244, a sliding rod 245 and a button switch 246. The button switch 246 is arranged at the upper part of the inner cavity of the sliding box 214, and the column 243 is symmetrically arranged on the side of the button of the button switch 246. The abutment plate 244 is slidably set on the column 243 through the sliding rod 245. A stop plate 247 is provided at the end of the sliding rod 245 after it passes through the column 243. A tension spring 248 is provided between the stop plate 247 and the column 243.

[0082] The pull wire 241 is slidably embedded in the inner wall of the positioning sleeve 211, and both ends of the pull wire 241 pass through the positioning sleeve 211, connect the vertical plate 213 and the bottom plate of the sliding box 214 in sequence, and pass around the pulley 242, pass through the column 243 and then fixedly connected to the abutment plate 244.

[0083] The pull wire 241 is slidably embedded in the inner wall of the positioning sleeve 211, and its two ends pass through the positioning sleeve 211, the connecting plate 213 and the bottom plate of the sliding box 214 in sequence, and are fixedly connected to the abutment plate 244 after passing through the pulley 242. The pulley 242 is used to guide the movement path of the pull wire 241, ensuring its smooth sliding and reducing friction. The column 243 is symmetrically arranged on the side of the button of the push button switch 246, providing sliding guide and support for the abutment plate 244. The abutment plate 244 is slidably arranged on the column 243 through the sliding rod 245, and can move under the pull of the pull wire 241. The sliding rod 245 passes through the column 243, connects the abutment plate 244, and ensures that it slides stably along the column 243. The stop plate 247 is arranged at the end of the sliding rod 245 after passing through the column 243 to prevent the sliding rod 245 from falling off from the column 243. The tension spring 248 is disposed between the stop plate 247 and the column 243 to provide elastic force so that the contact plate 244 can quickly reset the push switch after the pull wire 241 is cut.

[0084] When the contact plate 244 contacts the button of the push button switch 246 , the circuit between the sound generator 233 and the battery compartment 231 is connected, thereby triggering the circuit to connect the sound generator 233 and the battery compartment 231 .

[0085] With the above structure, when the mounting bracket 201 is properly installed, the pull wire 241 is in a tensioned state, and the contact plate 244 is kept separated from the switch button by the action of the tension spring 248. At this time, the button switch 246 is not pressed, the circuit between the sounder 233 and the battery compartment 231 is in a power-off state, and the alarm system is in standby mode.

[0086] If someone attempts to illegally remove or damage positioning sleeve 211, its internal pull wire 241 is severed. The severed wire is then relaxed, no longer providing tension to abutment plate 244. The abutment plate 244 quickly returns to its original position under the action of tension spring 248, abutting against the switch button. Pressing button switch 246 immediately connects the circuit between sounder 233 and battery compartment 231, causing sounder 233 to emit a loud alarm, attracting the attention of nearby personnel and acting as a deterrent.

[0088] The similarities with the above embodiments and their combinations are not repeated here, and the differences are as follows:

[0089] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the abutment plate 244 during operation and ensure that the abutment plate 244 can move normally after the pull wire 241 is cut, see Figure 6The abutment plate 244 is slidably connected to the column 243 through two sliding rods 245. A positioning protrusion is provided on the side wall of the sliding box 214 corresponding to the sliding rod 245. A compression spring B249 is provided between the stop plate 247 at the end of the sliding rod 245 and the side wall of the sliding box 214. The compression spring B249 is set on the side wall of the sliding box 214 through the positioning protrusion.

[0090] The abutment plate 244 is slidably connected to the column 243 via two slide bars 245 to ensure that the column remains stable when moving up and down, avoiding deviation or blocking. The slide bars 245 not only provide a guide, but also serve as a support shaft for the compression spring B249.

[0091] A positioning bump is located on the side wall of the sliding box 214, corresponding to the position of the slide rod 245. It is used to secure one end of a compression spring B249, ensuring proper installation and function. Compression spring B249 is positioned between the stop plate 247 and the side wall of the sliding box 214 and secured by the positioning bump. Compression spring B249 and tension spring 248 simultaneously provide displacement force for the abutment plate 244, allowing it to quickly return to its original position after the pull wire 241 is cut, thus depressing the switch button.

[0092] Example 5

[0093] The similarities with the above embodiments and their combinations are not repeated here, and the differences are as follows:

[0094] To ensure the stability of the anti-tamper unit during operation, see Figure 6 The pull wire 241 is an easy-to-cut wire, and the button switch 246 is a four-way switch with four switch buttons. The pull wire 241 is provided in two groups at the upper and lower positions, and the abutment plates 244 at both ends of each group of pull wires 241 are arranged in alignment with the buttons of the button switch 246.

[0095] Pull wires 241 are designed to be easily cut, so they break easily if illegally removed or damaged, thereby triggering the alarm system. Each set of pull wires 241 is provided in two sets, one above the other, ensuring that the alarm is effectively triggered regardless of the direction of external force applied.

[0096] The button switch 246 is a four-way switch with four switch buttons, each button corresponding to a set of abutment plates 244 at both ends of the pull line 241. This design ensures that if any one of the pull lines 241 is cut, an alarm can be triggered, thereby improving the redundancy and reliability of the system.

[0097] The working principle of the anti-theft device for cigarette ash and butt collectors in public toilets in hospitals is as follows:

[0098] During use, the positioning portion 2 is first securely fixed to a wall or other supporting surface using the locking unit 101 on the mounting portion 1. The ash and butt collector 3 is securely fastened to the positioning portion 2 using the locking mechanism 202 within the mounting bracket 201. When the mounting bracket 201 slides into position along the retaining groove 121 on the mounting plate 102, the pin 221, under the action of the compression spring A222, automatically engages the retaining groove on the ash and butt collector 3, completing the securing process.

[0099] To enhance theft prevention, the sliding box 214 incorporates an integrated alarm unit 203. Under normal circumstances, the microswitch 232 is in the off position. If someone attempts to illegally remove the device, causing the microswitch 232 to detach from the mounting plate 102, the circuit is instantly closed, and the sounder 233 emits an alarm to attract attention and serve as a deterrent. Furthermore, a signal transceiver can be installed within the sliding box 214 to immediately notify management when the microswitch 232 switches to the closed position.

[0100] To prevent the ash and butt collector 3 from being removed by damaging the positioning sleeve 211, the device has a built-in anti-tamper unit 204. If the positioning sleeve 211 is damaged, the internal pull wire 241 will be cut. After the tension is lost, the abutment plate 244 will quickly return to its original position under the action of the tension spring 248 and press the button switch 246, triggering the sounder 233 to sound an alarm.
