Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco products technology, and in particular to an easy-to-open and close cigar care tube. Background Technology

[0002] A cigar is a tobacco product made from dried and fermented tobacco. As a high-end tobacco product, cigars require careful storage and maintenance to ensure they retain their quality. Appropriate humidity is the most crucial factor in cigar care. Traditional cigar care involves using aluminum tubing, which provides some temporary moisture retention but cannot maintain it continuously.

[0003] To this end, Chinese utility model patent CN214854301U discloses a cigar care tube, including a tube body, one end of which has a sealing cap that fits with the tube body. The tube body is a transparent glass tube, and a closed-loop protrusion is provided on the outer wall of the upper end of the tube body. A constricting nozzle that communicates with the tube body extends integrally from the lower end of the tube body. An adjusting sleeve is provided over the constricting nozzle. The first end of the adjusting sleeve is sealed with the constricting nozzle, and the second end of the adjusting sleeve is provided with a transparent glass ball. The upper end of the transparent glass ball extends with a part that connects with the transparent glass ball. The reducing tube section extends into the adjusting sleeve and is detachably connected to the adjusting sleeve in a way that allows adjustment of the total length of the reducing tube section and the adjusting sleeve. The adjusting sleeve is a plastic sleeve body, which is a hollow sleeve body with an open bottom. The top surface of the adjusting sleeve has an opening for the reducing nozzle to fit snugly into. The adjusting sleeve has a sealing ring that fits snugly outside the reducing nozzle. The sealing ring fits snugly against the top surface of the adjusting sleeve. This design provides a better storage space for cigars and makes it more convenient to take out and put away cigars.

[0004] However, some problems still exist in actual use. First, the exposed annular structure of the adjustment sleeve affects the aesthetics of the glass tube, especially in the context of high-end cigars, severely impacting the product's appearance. Second, the high coefficient of friction between the sealing ring and the narrow-bore mouthpiece generates significant resistance during axial displacement, causing a jerky adjustment process. A jam occurs approximately every 1mm of displacement, greatly affecting the user experience. Furthermore, this rigid contact sealing method accelerates the wear of the sealing ring; excessive wear leads to decreased sealing performance, thus affecting the cigar's humidity control.

[0005] In view of this, the inventor conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned problems, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides an easy-to-open and close cigar storage tube, aiming to solve the problems of existing cigar storage tubes being unattractive, inconvenient to open and close, and having reduced sealing performance after prolonged opening and closing.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] An easy-to-open and close cigar care tube includes a tube body, one end of which has an opening and a sealing plug, and the other end has a reduced diameter section. The end of the reduced diameter section has a reduced diameter hole communicating with the inner cavity of the tube body. The reduced diameter section is detachably connected to a storage component. The storage component includes a storage part with a storage cavity and a reduced diameter tube part connected to the storage part. The end of the reduced diameter tube part away from the storage part has a tube hole. The outer side wall of the reduced diameter section has a first sealing element, and the inner side wall of the reduced diameter tube part has a corresponding second sealing element that seals with the first sealing element.

[0009] Furthermore, the first sealing element is a first frosted layer disposed on the outer wall of the reduced diameter section, and the second sealing element is a second frosted layer disposed on the inner wall of the reduced diameter pipe section. The first frosted layer and the second frosted layer form a frictional contact when the reduced diameter section is inserted into the pipe hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the first sealing element is a first magnet embedded in the outer wall of the reduced diameter section, and the second sealing element is a second magnet embedded in the inner wall of the reduced diameter section. The first magnet and the second magnet form a magnetic attraction engagement when the reduced diameter section is inserted into the pipe hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the first sealing element is a first rubber coating applied to the outer wall of the reduced diameter section, and the second sealing element is a second rubber coating applied to the inner wall of the reduced diameter pipe section. The first rubber coating and the second rubber coating form an elastic sealing fit when the reduced diameter section is inserted into the pipe hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the aforementioned tapered section is a frustum structure that gradually narrows from top to bottom.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the aforementioned tube is provided with annular protrusions.

[0014] Furthermore, the material of the aforementioned tube body can be any one of plastic, glass, or metal.

[0015] Furthermore, the sealing plug can be made of any one of wood, plastic, glass or metal.

[0016] Furthermore, the aforementioned sealing plug is frustum-shaped.

[0017] As can be seen from the above description of the structure of this utility model, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] Firstly, the maintenance tube structure of this utility model has a simple design, and the overall shape after assembly is streamlined, which is more aesthetically pleasing. It is also more convenient to disassemble and assemble, which significantly improves the user experience.

[0019] Secondly, this utility model adopts methods such as a frosted layer, magnet, or rubber coating to effectively improve the sealing performance after the maintenance tube and storage component are connected, ensuring that the humidity of the cigar can remain stable for a long time. This not only reduces friction and wear during use, but also allows users to quickly disassemble and assemble the product, improving its convenience and durability. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A cigar care tube that is easy to open and close includes a cylindrical tube body 10. The tube body 10 has an internal cavity for accommodating cigars. One end of the tube body 10 has an opening 11 with a frustum-shaped sealing plug 12 embedded therein. The other end has a tapered section 13, which is a frustum-shaped structure that gradually narrows from top to bottom. The outer wall of the tube body 10 also has an annular protrusion 14 to ensure the care tube remains stable on a holder (not shown in the figure). The end of the tapered section 13 has an opening that communicates with the internal cavity of the tube body 10. The reduced diameter section 13 is detachably connected to a storage component 20. The storage component 20 includes a storage part 21 with a storage cavity and a reduced diameter tube part 22 connected to the storage part 21. The end of the reduced diameter tube part 22 away from the storage part 21 is provided with a tube hole 221. The shape of the tube hole 221 matches the shape of the reduced diameter section 13. The outer side wall of the reduced diameter section 13 is provided with a first sealing element 132, and the inner side wall of the reduced diameter tube part 22 is provided with a second sealing element 222 that seals with the first sealing element 132.

[0027] It should be noted that in this utility model, the tube body 10 can be made of materials such as plastic, glass or metal, and the sealing plug 12 can be made of materials such as wood, plastic, glass or metal.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In the first embodiment, the first sealing element 132 is a first frosted layer provided on the outer wall of the reduced diameter section 13, and the second sealing element 222 is a second frosted layer provided on the inner wall of the reduced diameter tube section 22. When the reduced diameter section 13 is inserted into the tube hole 221, the first frosted layer and the second frosted layer form a frictional contact. Through the frictional contact of the first frosted layer and the second frosted layer, an effective sealing effect can be formed, preventing the entry of air and moisture, ensuring the humidity and quality of the cigar, and making daily disassembly and assembly more convenient.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In the second embodiment, the first sealing element 132 is a first magnet embedded in the outer wall of the reduced diameter section 13, and the second sealing element 222 is a second magnet embedded in the inner wall of the reduced diameter tube section 22. When the reduced diameter section 13 is inserted into the tube hole 221, the first magnet and the second magnet form a magnetic attraction engagement. By using magnets for sealing, not only can automatic alignment and tight connection be maintained, but wear caused by friction is also reduced, and the difficulty of user operation is also reduced, making it easy to quickly disassemble and reassemble.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In the third embodiment, the first sealing element 132 is a first rubber coating applied to the outer wall of the reduced diameter section 13, and the second sealing element 222 is a second rubber coating applied to the inner wall of the reduced diameter tube section 22. When the reduced diameter section 13 is inserted into the tube hole 221, the first rubber coating and the second rubber coating form an elastic sealing fit. By setting the rubber coating, it can better adapt to different size deviations, provide better air tightness, ensure the sealing effect between the tube body 10 and the storage component 20, and is also more convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In this invention, the size of the tube 10 can be adjusted according to the length or thickness of the cigar to be placed inside. The storage section 21 can be in various shapes such as round, rectangular, or polygonal. It can hold liquids such as brandy, whiskey, baijiu, red wine, fruit wine, rice wine, coffee, and essential oils, as well as solids such as coffee beans, lavender, rose, chrysanthemum, agarwood, sandalwood, and tablets specifically for removing cigar worms, thus meeting the personalized needs of different users. Of course, the storage section 21 can also be empty, in which case this maintenance tube can also be used as a display device for cigars. To further enhance the aesthetics of the maintenance tube, a decorative layer can be plated on the outer wall of the reduced-diameter tube section 22, and the material can be gold-plated or silver-plated.

[0032] This utility model improves the sealing design between the tube body 10 and the storage component 20 by using methods such as a frosted layer, magnet, or rubber coating. This effectively improves the sealing performance after the tube body 10 and the storage component 20 are connected, ensuring that the humidity of the cigar can be kept stable. It not only reduces friction and wear, but also facilitates quick disassembly and assembly during use, enhancing the user experience, and improving the overall aesthetics of the maintenance tube.

[0033] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
