Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ashtray technology, specifically a novel ashtray. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, ashtrays, also known as waste bins or cigarette bins, are widely used in banks, train stations, hospitals, post offices, and other places, and usually consist of a body and a top. The most common material for ashtrays is stainless steel.

[0003] Existing ashtrays can also be used as trash cans, and usually, trash and cigarette butts share the same storage bin. For example, a new type of ashtray is disclosed in CN218087176U. Such ashtrays have the following shortcomings in use:

[0004] 1. Using the same storage bin for trash and cigarette butts poses a safety hazard because unextinguished cigarette butts can easily ignite the trash inside the bin.

[0005] 2. To prevent the garbage from being ignited, staff usually pour some water into the storage bins. However, as the amount of garbage increases, the water can only wet the garbage at the bottom, while the garbage at the top of the bin is still easily ignited.

[0006] 3. Adding too much water to the storage container will not only reduce its capacity for storing garbage, but also make the container heavy and difficult to replace or empty, and will waste a lot of water resources. Utility Model Content

[0007] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0008] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a new type of ashtray to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0009] (II) Technical Solution

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel ashtray, comprising an outer barrel body having side walls and a hollow interior, wherein a first inner barrel for storing garbage and a second inner barrel for storing cigarette butts and ash are placed inside the outer barrel body, and an opening is provided on the outer barrel body, wherein an inclined sliding plate is provided inside the opening, and cigarette ash and cigarette butts slide down the sliding plate and fall into the second inner barrel.

[0011] Furthermore, a garbage inlet is provided on the outer wall of the outer barrel, near the top of the first inner barrel.

[0012] Furthermore, the opening of the outer barrel and the outer barrel body are detachably connected.

[0013] Furthermore, a baffle with mesh holes is provided inside the barrel opening and above the lower sliding plate.

[0014] Preferably, the baffle partially blocks the lower slide plate.

[0015] In addition, the bottom of the outer barrel is provided with an outlet, and the outer barrel is equipped with a switch door for blocking the outlet, and the switch door is provided with a lock.

[0016] Furthermore, the first inner tub and the second inner tub are integrated as a single unit.

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a novel ashtray with the following advantages:

[0019] This new type of ashtray, with its sliding plate, first inner bin, and second inner bin, replaces the original shared storage bin, separating trash and cigarette butts. When a smoker throws a cigarette butt into the ashtray, it slides down the sliding plate and falls into the second inner bin, preventing the trash in the first inner bin from being ignited. Furthermore, the smaller size of the first inner bin allows for the addition of a small amount of water to extinguish cigarette butts, reducing safety hazards. It is also easy for staff to operate, improving practicality and reducing water waste. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the present invention;

[0021] Figure 2 This is a front view structural diagram of the present utility model;

[0022] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the present invention.

[0023] In the diagram: 1. Outer bin; 2. Bin opening; 3. Lower slide plate; 4. Baffle; 5. Garbage inlet; 6. First inner bin; 7. Second inner bin; 8. Opening / closing door; 9. Lock body; 10. Mesh. Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model discloses a novel ashtray, comprising an outer barrel 1 with side walls and a hollow interior. Inside the outer barrel 1 are placed a first inner barrel 6 for storing garbage and a second inner barrel 7 for storing cigarette butts and ash. A garbage inlet 5 is provided on the outer wall of the outer barrel 1, near the top of the first inner barrel 6, through which garbage is fed into the first inner barrel 6. An opening 2 is provided on the outer barrel 1, and an inclined sliding plate 3 is provided inside the opening 2. Cigarette ash and cigarette butts slide down the sliding plate 3 and fall into the second inner barrel 7. The garbage and cigarette butts are placed separately, making the garbage less likely to be ignited and reducing safety hazards.

[0026] A baffle 4 is provided inside the opening 2 and above the slide plate 3. The baffle 4 has mesh holes 10, which makes it easy for smokers to extinguish cigarette butts on the baffle 4. Cigarette ash and cigarette butts can fall down through the mesh holes. The baffle 4 partially blocks the slide plate 3 and has an opening on the baffle 4 for throwing cigarette butts on the slide plate 3.

[0027] Based on everyday experience, cigarette butts and ash take up very little space, while household waste takes up much more. To make the diagram easier to read, the volume of the second inner bucket 7 in the diagram is designed to be too large. Therefore, the volume of the second inner bucket 7 can be made smaller. A smaller volume of the second inner bucket 7 will store less water, reduce weight, and make it easier to replace.

[0028] The barrel opening 2 on the outer barrel 1 is detachably connected to the outer barrel 1, and the barrel opening 2 can be removed to replace the first inner barrel 6 and the second inner barrel 7.

[0029] The outer tub 1 has an outlet at its bottom and a door 8 for blocking the outlet. The door 8 is equipped with a lock 9. The door 8 can also be opened to replace the first inner tub 6 and the second inner tub 7.

[0030] The first inner tub 6 and the second inner tub 7 are integrated into one unit.

[0031] In summary, this new type of ashtray allows users to deposit trash through the trash inlet 5, which falls into the first inner bin 6. Smokers can flick ash from the opening 2 while smoking, and after finishing their cigarette, they can extinguish the cigarette butt on the baffle 4. The ash and cigarette butt can fall through the mesh 10 or be thrown directly onto the sliding plate 3, where they will slide down into the second inner bin 7.
