Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic ashtray technology, and in particular to an electronic ashtray. Background Technology
[0002] Ashtrays, used to hold cigarette ash and butts, originated in the late 19th century. After the advent of cigarettes, the unsanitary practice of flicking ash and butts everywhere led to the development of ashtrays. Initially, ashtrays were sometimes called "cigarette dishes," and were mostly made of ceramic or porcelain, but also of glass, plastic, jade, or metal. Their shape and size were not fixed, and a wide variety of ashtrays were sold on the market, each with its own design concept, striving to meet the needs of different users.
[0003] Most ashtrays have a horizontal opening, meaning that when you need to scrape ash, you usually have to raise your hand to a high height and place it directly above the opening of the ashtray before lowering your hand to scrape the ash.
[0004] Currently, to prevent ashtrays from falling out, a lid is usually installed. To facilitate smoking in the dark, ashtrays now include lights installed in the lid, such as a vehicle ashtray with patent number CN215244498U. This ashtray incorporates a circuit within the lid; when the lid is closed relative to the lid, pressing the locking switch simultaneously turns off the light. To open the lid, the latch needs to be pried open. When the locking switch is unlocked, it pops up, turning on the light and illuminating the ashtray below. The locking switch controls both the light's on / off state and the lid's locking / unlocking, making it a dual-purpose switch. However, because the switch is exposed near the ashtray's fallout area, ash can easily enter and affect normal operation. Over time, the switch's lifespan decreases, leading to reduced sensitivity, which in turn affects both the ashtray lid's opening and closing, and the light's on / off state.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an electronic ashtray with an optimized structure for switching the light on and off when the ashtray cover is opened, so as to extend its service life. Utility Model Content
