Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoking accessories technology, specifically to a petal-shaped twist-open ashtray. Background Technology
[0002] Ashtrays are a common household item, especially for smokers. Having an ashtray can effectively solve the problem of flicking cigarettes and throwing away cigarette butts.
[0003] Most existing ashtrays are bowl-shaped containers with an opening at the top through which ash and cigarette butts are thrown in. While this makes flicking ash and discarding cigarette butts convenient, the large opening and insufficient depth of the ashtray mean that ash can easily spill out when exposed to wind or when cigarette butts are discarded.
[0004] There are many ways to design the lid of an ashtray. As for the rotating opening method, Chinese patent CN215455361U discloses an ashtray with a through hole. It uses multiple blades to seal the through hole. The method of using a guide groove to drive the blades means that the rotation path depends entirely on the direction of the guide groove. This requires high precision and affects the sealing performance when closing. At the same time, its structure is relatively complex, which increases the cost of the ashtray. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a petal-shaped screw-open ashtray.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0027] 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.
[0028] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a petal-shaped screw-on ashtray, comprising: a cylinder body 100 and a lid 200, wherein the lid is detachably mounted on the cylinder body 100. This detachable design facilitates later cleaning of the ash and cigarette butts inside. The connection between the two can be achieved through interference fit, snap-fit, or magnetic connection, depending on the requirements.
[0030] The cylinder 100 has a chamber that is large enough to hold the maximum amount of ash and cigarette butts;
[0031] The cover 200 is detachably mounted on the cylinder 100. The cover has an opening 210, which is arranged along the central axis and connects to the chamber, so that cigarette ash and cigarette butts can be thrown into the cylinder through the opening.
[0032] The cover includes:
[0033] The shell has an opening 210 through which ash or cigarette butts can pass;
[0034] Several blades 300 are arranged around the opening, having a first position where they can be spliced together to form a closed opening 210 under the action of external force and a second position where they are far apart from each other and expose the opening 210.
[0035] A rotating component that enables the blade 300 to switch between a first position and a second position around the opening 210, wherein the first position is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the second position is as follows Figure 2 As shown, different state changes are achieved by switching the blades between the first and second positions.
[0036] The rotating component includes a rotating ring 400 with a plurality of internal racks 410 and a gear disposed at the end of the blade 300 that meshes with the internal racks 410. The rotating ring 400 is rotatably disposed in the housing and can rotate relative to the housing under the action of external force. This application utilizes gear meshing to eliminate the step of machining guide grooves that was previously required, thereby reducing machining accuracy and making the unfolding and retraction smoother.
[0037] The housing includes an upper cover 220 and a bottom cover 230, forming an installation chamber 240 between them. A gap communicating with an opening 210 is provided at the mating point of the upper cover 220 and the bottom cover 230. The rotating ring 400 and the blade 300 are rotatably disposed within the installation chamber 240. The bottom cover provides support and forms a limiting fit with the cylinder body, ensuring that rotating the housing only causes the upper cover to rotate. Since the blade is fixedly connected via a rotating shaft, with the upper and lower ends of the shaft restricted by the rotating ring and the upper cover respectively, the three components form a single structure. When the upper cover is rotated, the rotating ring is restricted by the rotating shaft, causing it to rotate relative to the rotating shaft. This, in turn, uses gear meshing to cause the blade to unfold or retract relative to the rotating shaft. This structure is simple and convenient, and it does not require additional guide grooves.
[0038] The blade 300 has a rotating part 310 at its end. The rotating part 310 is fixed in the mounting chamber 240 by a rotating shaft 600. Alternatively, a bearing can be used to fix the blade, making the unfolding and retraction smoother.
[0039] The rotating part 310 is provided with a plurality of teeth 320 in the circumferential direction that mesh with the internal rack 410. It uses incomplete gears to limit its maximum rotation angle.
[0040] The rotating ring 400 is fixedly connected to the bottom cover 230, and the bottom of the bottom cover is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 250, and the cylinder body is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves in the circumferential direction. The positioning posts 250 and the positioning grooves form a limiting fit.
[0041] The inner side of the rotating ring is provided with a plurality of internal racks 410 at intervals, and the thickness of the internal racks 410 is adapted to the thickness of the rotating ring 400 plus the blade 300, thereby making the blade retraction space larger and able to be completely retracted in the mounting cavity.
[0042] The blades 300 are evenly arranged circumferentially around the center of the opening 210, and each blade 300 includes a first arc-shaped edge 330 protruding outward and a second arc-shaped edge 340 concave inward, which are arranged opposite each other. The first arc-shaped edge 330 and the second arc-shaped edge 340 are connected at one end to form a third arc-shaped edge 350 protruding outward. The third arc-shaped edge 350 matches the second arc-shaped edge 340. When in the first position, the third arc-shaped edge of each blade matches the second arc-shaped edge, minimizing the gap between each blade and improving the sealing performance.
[0043] When the blade is in the second position, the second arc-shaped edge is located outside the opening, so that the blade can be completely retracted into the installation chamber during use, and the blade will not be partially placed at the opening, thus avoiding the accumulation of soot on the blade and affecting hygiene.
[0044] The embodiments should not be regarded as limitations on the present invention, but any improvements made based on the spirit of the present invention should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
