Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ashtray technology, and in particular to an openable ashtray. Background Technology

[0002] Ashtrays are containers used to hold the ash produced when smoking. They are also called "ashtrays" or "ash cups" and come in a variety of styles. Generally, ashtrays are mainly containers for holding ash, with emphasis placed on their depth, windproof design, ease of cleaning, and style.

[0003] The current ashtrays are containers with grooves, open at the top and closed at the bottom. When emptying the ashtray, you need to tip it over. If there is a lot of ash, it is easy to spill during the tipping process. After emptying, if you need to clean it, you can place it under the tap. However, since the grooves of ashtrays are generally shallow, water is easy to splash when cleaning, which can easily dirty the countertop. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this patent application is how to provide an openable ashtray that is simple in structure, easy to clean, and convenient to empty.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A hinged ashtray includes a cylinder body that extends vertically through the cylinder body. A bottom cover is hinged to the bottom of the cylinder body via a pivot. A closing mechanism is provided between the bottom cover and the bottom of the cylinder body. A handle extends outward from the upper end of the cylinder body. A pressing mechanism is vertically provided on the handle. The pressing mechanism and the pivot are symmetrically arranged along the vertical axis of the cylinder body. The bottom of the pressing mechanism is positioned directly opposite the bottom cover.

[0007] When in use, the space formed by the bottom cover and the cylinder body is used to hold cigarette ash and cigarette butts, serving as a basic ashtray. When it is necessary to empty the ash, manually press down on the pressing mechanism to open the bottom cover, allowing the cylinder body to be fully open from top to bottom, thus completing the emptying of the ash without the need to flip it over. At the same time, during cleaning, because it can be fully open from top to bottom, it is not easy to splash, which can be cleaned quickly and there are no dead corners to clean. This solution has the advantages of simple structure, easy emptying, and convenient cleaning.

[0008] As an optimization, the handle is provided with a groove, and the bottom of the groove is provided with a through hole. The pressing mechanism includes a slide rod that is slidably disposed in the through hole. The top of the slide rod is fixedly connected to a button, and the bottom of the slide rod is connected to a pressure head. A compression spring is also provided in the groove, and the compression spring is sleeved on the slide rod.

[0009] In this way, by pressing the button, the slide bar and the pressure head move downwards, opening the bottom cover and separating it from the cylinder body. After separation, the compressed spring drives the button to reset, making the separation process of the bottom cover and cylinder body convenient.

[0010] As an optimization, the closing mechanism includes a metal block uniformly embedded in the bottom of the cylinder, and a corresponding magnet block is embedded in the bottom cover.

[0011] In this way, when the pressing mechanism is pressed, the magnet block and the metal block can be quickly separated. At the same time, when closed, the magnet block can achieve a tight fit between the bottom cover and the cylinder body.

[0012] As an optimization, the rotating shaft is mounted on the bottom cover, and the bottom of the cylinder body is also provided with a rotating shaft mounting groove, and a cover is installed at the opening of the rotating shaft mounting groove.

[0013] In this way, the bottom cover can be connected to the cylinder body via a rotating shaft, and the bottom cover can be separated from the cylinder body by removing the cover, which allows for disassembly, cleaning, replacement, and maintenance.

[0014] As an optimization, the bottom cover has a raised section in the middle.

[0015] This allows for the uniform dispersion of ash, preventing clumping.

[0016] In summary, this hinged ashtray has the advantages of simple structure, easy cleaning, and convenient emptying. Attached Figure Description
