[0038] To address the problem that existing ordinary smoking tools have limited functionality and cannot meet people's needs for clean and convenient smoking, this embodiment proposes a cigarette clamping device, comprising: a shell structure with an internal accommodating space, wherein the shell structure has a first hole 13 and a third hole 31 respectively on its two main extension surfaces corresponding to the accommodating space, and the accommodating space has a first limiting structure 11; a tongue 20, which is movably disposed in the accommodating space and is restricted to a fixed stroke by the first limiting structure 11, and the tongue 20 has a second hole 21; and an elastic element 40, which is connected to the inner wall of the shell structure and the tongue 20; the tongue 20 can be driven to move to a fixed stroke to change the area of the second hole 21 that overlaps with the projections of the first hole 13 and the third hole 31, and the tongue 20 is driven to reset by the elastic element 40 after being released.
[0039] The following eight embodiments detail the specific structure of this cigarette clamping device and some possible variations.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the shell structure includes a base 10 and a cover plate 30, wherein the base 10 and the cover plate 30 can be interlocked to form an accommodating space. An operating hole 15 is provided on the side of the base 10 corresponding to the accommodating space. A first step structure 14 is provided on the top surface of the base 10 corresponding to the operating hole 15. A first hole 13 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the base 10. A third hole 31 is provided on the top surface of the cover plate 30, and the positions of the first hole 13 and the third hole 31 are vertically corresponding. Two first limiting structures 11 are provided on the top surface of the base 10 away from the operating hole 15. The two first limiting structures 11 are parallel plates and extend towards the operating hole 15. A guide space 12 for placing springs is provided on the outer side of the first limiting structures 11.
[0042] In this embodiment, the tongue 20 is mainly a sheet-like structure. The middle part of the tongue 20 has a second step structure 23, the shape and structure of which match the shape and structure of the first step structure 14. A second hole 21 is provided in the middle part of the tongue 20, and a side-opening step structure is provided at the tail of the tongue 20. Shoulder-like structures 22 are formed on the left and right sides of the tail of the tongue 20.
[0043] In this embodiment, the elastic element 40 is a spring. Since springs are provided in the guide spaces 12 on both sides of the tongue 20, and the two ends of the springs abut against the protruding structure on the outer periphery of the base 10 and the shoulder structure 22 of the tongue 20 respectively, after the cover plate 30 covers the surface of the base 10 and the tongue 20 is installed between the base 10 and the cover plate 30, the tongue 20 can slide between the cover plate 30 and the base 10 and compress the spring. During the sliding process, the area of the second hole 21, the first hole 13 and the third hole 31 that overlap by projection can be changed.
[0044] Specifically, when the tongue 20 is released, it is pushed towards the operating hole 15 by the spring. The overlapping area of the second hole 21, the first hole 13, and the third hole 31 is small, and the head of the tongue 20 is partially exposed from the operating hole 15. When a cigarette needs to be inserted, the tongue 20 is first pushed inward, compressing the spring and increasing the overlapping area of the second hole 21, the first hole 13, and the third hole 31. Then, after the cigarette is inserted into the second hole 21, the first hole 13, and the third hole 31, the tongue 20 is released. The spring pushes the tongue 20 to move in the opposite direction, reducing the overlapping area of the second hole 21, the first hole 13, and the third hole 31 and clamping the cigarette.
[0045] In this embodiment, the first step structure 14 and the second step structure 23 cooperate with each other to limit the maximum distance the tongue 20 can move. At the same time, part of the tongue 20 enters between the two first limiting structures 11, and the two first limiting structures 11 simultaneously guide the tongue 20.
[0046] In addition, a recessed clearance space 16 is provided at the position of the exposed tongue 20 on the base 10. This clearance space 16 can provide clearance for the exposed part of the tongue 20, so as to avoid the part of the tongue 20 protruding from the shell structure being too abrupt, and at the same time, it can also prevent the tongue 20 from being accidentally triggered.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the cigarette clamping device has a base 10 and a cover plate 30 with a first hole 13 and a third hole 31, respectively. A "U"-shaped first limiting structure 11 is provided on the top surface of the base 10, which guides the movement direction of the tongue 20. Specifically, an operation hole 15 is provided on the base 10, and the opening of the "U"-shaped first limiting structure 11 faces away from the operation hole 15. A channel is provided at the bottom of the "U"-shaped first limiting structure 11 at the position corresponding to the operation hole 15.
[0049] In the tongue 20 section, the middle part of the tongue 20 is a rod-shaped structure. When the tongue 20 is installed on the base 10, the rod-shaped structure is correspondingly positioned in the channel at the bottom of the first limiting structure 11. The head of the tongue 20 protrudes from the operating hole 15, at which time the tongue 20 can slide back and forth in the opening direction of the operating hole 15.
[0050] In this embodiment, the elastic element 40 is a spring, which is fitted onto the rod-shaped structure in the middle of the tongue 20. At this time, one end of the spring abuts against the outer wall of the first limiting structure 11, and the other end abuts against the end face of the tongue 20 facing the first limiting structure 11. When the tongue 20 is pushed back to the direction of the operating hole 15, the area of the overlapping projections of the second hole 21, the first hole 13, and the third hole 31 can be changed to achieve the effect of clamping the cigarette.
[0051] Example 3
[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment of the cigarette clamping device, after the base 10 and the cover plate 30 are closed, the side of the base 10 is provided with an operation hole 15, the tongue 20 is installed near the operation hole 15, and the left and right sides of the tongue 20 are respectively provided with plate-shaped first limiting structures 11.
[0053] In this embodiment, the elastic element 40 is a plate-shaped elastic element 40, which is disposed between the tail end of the tongue 20 and the interior of the base 10. The base 10 is provided with multiple column-mounted second limiting structures 18, which limit the position of the tail end of the elastic element 40. The head end of the elastic element 40 abuts against the tail end of the tongue 20. When the tongue 20 is pushed, the elastic element 40 can elastically deform and provide a thrust to the tongue 20.
[0054] Preferably, there are two elastic elements 40, and two sets of corresponding second limiting structures 18, to balance the push force on the left and right sides of the tongue 20.
[0055] The positions of the first hole 13 and the third hole 31 on the base 10 and the cover plate 30, as well as the second hole 21 on the tongue 20, can be adapted to fit the desired shape. When the tongue 20 is pushed back to the direction of the operating hole 15, the overlapping area of the projections of the second hole 21, the first hole 13, and the third hole 31 can be changed to achieve the effect of holding the cigarette.
[0056] Example 4
[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, based on the cigarette clamping device in Embodiment 3 above, the position of the elastic member 40 and the structure of the positioning elastic member 40 are changed.
[0058] In this embodiment, the tongue 20 is restricted to moving only toward or away from the operating hole 15.
[0059] The elastic element 40 is positioned above the tongue 20. Second limiting structures 18 are provided on both the left and right sides of the tongue 20, restricting the position of the elastic element 40. Three triangularly arranged columnar elastic element limiting structures 24 are provided on the top surface of the tongue 20. In this embodiment, the elastic element 40 is a spring sheet, with the spring inserted into the elastic element limiting structure 24. Both ends of the elastic element 40 abut against the two second limiting structures 18. At this time, the plate-shaped elastic element 40 facing the operating hole 15 is the front side, and the second limiting structures 18 abut against the back side of the plate-shaped elastic element 40.
[0060] In this embodiment, the elastic deformation of the plate-shaped elastic element 40 provides elastic force to the tongue 20. The positions of the first hole 13 and the third hole 31 on the base 10 and the cover plate 30, as well as the second hole 21 on the tongue 20, can be adapted. When the tongue 20 is pushed back to the direction of the operating hole 15, the overlapping area of the projections of the second hole 21, the first hole 13, and the third hole 31 can be changed to achieve the effect of clamping the cigarette.
[0061] In embodiments 1-4 above, the tongue 20 is slidably disposed within the accommodating space, and the first limiting structure 11 is a linear guide structure. By changing the position and structure of the first limiting structure 11, and by changing the position and structure of the elastic element 40, different forms of elastic support for the tongue 20 are formed.
[0062] Example 5
[0063] The cigarette clamping device in this embodiment has been modified because the movement mode of the tongue 20 has been changed, and the corresponding elastic element 40 and connection structure have also been changed, so it will be further explained.
[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 10 and the cover plate 30 are respectively provided with a first hole 13 and a third hole 31. The top surface of the base 10 is provided with a pivot mounting post 17, and the tongue 20 is provided with a first pivot 25. The first pivot 25 is mounted on the pivot mounting post 17 to form a rotatable connection between the tongue 20 and the base 10. The base 10 and the cover plate 30 have the first hole 13 and the third hole 31, and the tongue 20 has a second hole 21.
[0065] An elastic element connection structure 26 is also provided on the tongue 20, and a corresponding connection structure for connecting the elastic element 40 is also provided on the base 10. In this embodiment, the elastic element 40 is a spring, and the two ends of the elastic element 40 are respectively connected to the base 10 and the elastic element connection structure 26 on the tongue 20.
[0066] The elastic deformation of the elastic element 40 provides elastic force to the tongue 20. The positions of the first hole 13 and the third hole 31 on the base 10 and the cover plate 30, as well as the second hole 21 on the tongue 20, can be adapted. When the tongue 20 is pushed back to the direction of the operating hole 15, the overlapping area of the projections of the second hole 21, the first hole 13, and the third hole 31 can be changed to achieve the effect of clamping the cigarette.
[0067] Example 6
[0068] The cigarette clamping device in this embodiment is based on the cigarette clamping device in embodiment 5, but the type of elastic element 40 is changed.
[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 10 and the cover plate 30 are respectively provided with a first hole 13 and a third hole 31. The top surface of the base 10 is provided with a pivot mounting post 17, and the tongue 20 is provided with a first pivot 25. The first pivot 25 is mounted on the pivot mounting post 17 to form a rotatable connection between the tongue 20 and the base 10. The base 10 and the cover plate 30 have the first hole 13 and the third hole 31, and the tongue 20 has a second hole 21.
[0070] An elastic element connecting structure 26 is provided on the tongue 20. The elastic element connecting structure 26 is a columnar structure. A second limiting structure 18 is provided on the base 10. The second limiting structure 18 is a block-shaped structure protruding from the side wall of the base 10. In this embodiment, the elastic element 40 is a "U"-shaped rod. The elastic element 40 passes around the first rotating shaft 25. The two main extension arms of the elastic element 40 abut against the elastic element connecting structure 26 and the second limiting structure 18, respectively. At this time, rotating the tongue 20 requires overcoming the elastic force of the elastic element 40 so that the second hole 21, the first hole 13, and the third hole 31 are aligned.
[0071] The above embodiments 5 and 6 describe the way the tongue 20 rotates, changing the relative position of the tongue 20, and cooperating with different elastic elements 40 and connecting structures to achieve the corresponding effect of clamping the cigarette.
[0072] Example 7
[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment of the cigarette clamping device, the base 10 and the cover plate 30 are respectively provided with a first hole 13 and a third hole 31. The top surface of the base 10 is provided with a rotating shaft mounting post 17, and the tongue 20 is provided with a first rotating shaft 25. The first rotating shaft 25 is mounted on the rotating shaft mounting post 17 to form a rotatable connection between the tongue 20 and the base 10. The base 10 and the cover plate 30 have the first hole 13 and the third hole 31, and the tongue 20 has a second hole 21.
[0074] In this embodiment, the tongue 20 is concealed in the accommodating space between the base 10 and the cover plate 30. An operating member 50 is added at the operating hole 15 of the base 10. The operating member 50 is installed in the operating hole 15 and can move linearly within a limited range through the inner wall of the operating hole 15. In this embodiment, the operating member 50 is a "7"-shaped plate. The operating member 50 is provided with a second operating member connecting structure 51 with an inclined waist-shaped opening. The head of the corresponding tongue 20 is provided with a columnar first operating member connecting structure 27. The first operating member connecting structure 27 is installed in the second operating member connecting structure 51.
[0075] An elastic element connection structure 26 is also provided on the tongue 20, and a corresponding connection structure for connecting the elastic element 40 is also provided on the base 10. In this embodiment, the elastic element 40 is a spring, and the two ends of the elastic element 40 are respectively connected to the base 10 and the elastic element connection structure 26 on the tongue 20.
[0076] During the inward movement of the operating member 50, due to the cooperation of the first operating member connecting structure 27 and the second operating member connecting structure 51, the tongue 20 bears torque and rotates around the first rotating shaft 25. The overlapping areas of the first hole 13, the third hole 31, and the second hole 21 achieve the effect of clamping the cigarette. After releasing the operating member 50, the tension of the elastic member 40 drives the tongue 20 to rotate, thereby pushing the operating member 50 outward.
[0077] Example 8
[0078] like Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment of the cigarette clamping device, the tongue 20 can be moved horizontally between the base 10 and the cover plate 30 through a limiting structure. The elastic element 40 is a spring, connected between the tongue 20 and the base 10. A waist-shaped first operating member connecting structure 27 is provided at the front of the tongue 20. The tongue 20 is hidden in the accommodating space between the base 10 and the cover plate 30. An operating member 50 is added at the operating hole 15 of the base 10 and installed in the operating hole 15. A second rotating shaft 52 is provided on the tongue 20, and a connecting post for connecting the second rotating shaft 52 is provided on the corresponding base 10. A columnar second operating member connecting structure 51 is provided at the tail of the operating member 50. The first operating member connecting structure 27 and the second operating member connecting structure 51 cooperate with each other.
[0079] In this embodiment, the base 10 and the cover plate 30 have a first hole 13 and a third hole 31, and the tongue 20 has a second hole 21. The operating member 50 in this embodiment is a "7"-shaped plate. When the operating member 50 is driven to rotate, it rotates along the second rotating shaft 52. Simultaneously, through the cooperation of the first operating member connecting structure 27 and the second operating member connecting structure 51, the tongue 20 can be pulled to slide, changing the position of the second hole 21. This, in turn, changes the area of the second hole 21, the first hole 13, and the third hole 31 that overlap, thus achieving the effect of clamping the cigarette.
[0080] The above embodiments 1-8 are only some variations of the cigarette clamping device. In other embodiments, the tongue 20, the operating member 50, the elastic member 40, and the related connecting and limiting structures can be combined to achieve the effect of changing the position of the tongue 20.
[0081] The above embodiments 7 and 8, by adding an operating member 50, drive the tongue 20 to perform actions including but not limited to translation and rotation, thereby achieving the effect of changing the position of the second hole 21.
[0082] This utility model of cigarette clamping device can provide cigarette clamping function. Because the size of the clamping opening can be changed, it can be used to accommodate cigarettes of various diameters, including but not limited to thick and thin sticks, and even cigars. It can be operated with one hand and maintains a small size, making it suitable for assembly.
[0083] In some embodiments, the basic cigarette clamping device of this utility model provides at least two elastic elements 40, specifically as shown in Embodiments 1 and 8. The elastic element 40 is two springs. Double springs are less prone to metal fatigue and can maintain the clamping force provided by the elastic element 40 after long-term use. This prevents the cigarette from loosening, shifting, or even slipping during the clamping process.
[0084] In some embodiments, since the tongue 20 can be driven to move with a fixed stroke to change the area of the second hole 21 that coincides with the projected area of the first hole 13 and the third hole 31, and the tongue 20 is driven back to its original position by the elastic member 40 after release, this cigarette clamping device can adapt to cigarettes of different thicknesses. It can maintain stable clamping for cigarettes of different diameters.
[0085] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, many changes can be made in the specific implementation and application scope based on the ideas of this technical content. As long as these changes do not depart from the concept of this utility model, they all fall within the protection scope of this patent.
