Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of intelligent storage technology, and in particular relates to an intelligent storage device. Background Technology

[0002] The traditional intelligent ashtray's ashtray lifting mechanism design suffers from significant structural flaws, becoming a technical bottleneck restricting product reliability. Existing technologies generally employ a single-point support linear drive mode, using a single motor or electromagnetic device to directly apply force to a point on the bottom or side wall of the ashtray to achieve vertical movement. This simplified design reveals significant structural mechanical imbalances in practical applications—because the driving force acts only on a localized area of ​​the ashtray, asymmetrical torque is unavoidably generated during lifting, leading to uneven contact pressure between the ashtray and the guide rail. With increased use, the gap widens due to continuous wear on the guide components, further exacerbating trajectory deviation. Especially when the ash load is unevenly distributed or mechanical components experience slight deformation, this asymmetrical force state can cause the guide mechanism to jam, and in severe cases, even overload and damage the drive components. Furthermore, the single-point drive mode cannot effectively counteract the deflection effect caused by the ashtray's own weight, resulting in significant mechanical lag during lifting, affecting both user experience and reducing the lifespan of critical components. Utility Model Content

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The following description is based on the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-4 The described embodiments are exemplary and intended to explain embodiments of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, an intelligent storage device is provided, including a base, a storage compartment 100, a drive source 200, and a driven source 300. The base is provided with an upward-facing mounting cavity; the storage compartment 100 is slidably connected within the mounting cavity; the drive source 200 is disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity, and the output end of the drive source 200 is drivenly connected to the bottom wall of the storage compartment 100; the driven source 300 is disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity, and the output end of the driven source 300 is drivenly connected to the bottom wall of the storage compartment 100; wherein, another output end of the drive source 200 is drivenly connected to the driven source 300.

[0033] Specifically, the output of the drive source 200 operates, driving the storage compartment 100 to move in a preset direction. Simultaneously, the output of the drive source 200 is connected to the driven source 300, which also drives the storage compartment 100 to move in the preset direction. The drive source 200 and the driven source 300 drive the storage compartment 100 synchronously from two force application points. Compared with the existing technology of intelligent ashtrays that use a single-point drive mode, it is difficult to effectively counteract the deflection effect caused by the weight of the compartment, resulting in obvious mechanical lag in the lifting process and affecting the normal operation of the intelligent ashtray. The intelligent ashtray provided by this utility model embodiment achieves stable single-power dual-point drive through the drive source 200 and the driven source 300, so that the storage compartment 100 is subjected to balanced force during movement, the stability is greatly improved, and jamming is effectively prevented.

[0034] like Figures 1-4As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the drive source 200 includes a drive unit 210, a drive shaft 220, and a drive sway assembly 230. The drive unit 210 is disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity. The drive unit 210 is driven and connected by the drive shaft 220, which is rotatably connected within the mounting cavity. One end of the drive sway assembly 230 is tightly fitted onto the drive shaft 220, and the other end of the drive sway assembly 230 abuts against the bottom of the storage compartment 100. The end of the drive sway assembly 230 away from the storage compartment 100 is driven and connected to the driven source 300.

[0035] Specifically, a mounting base 400 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity. The driving unit 210 and the driven source 300 are both mounted on the mounting base 400. The driving shaft 220 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 400. The driven source 300 and the driving sway assembly 230 are symmetrically distributed about the driving shaft 220. When the driving shaft 220 rotates, the driven source 300 and the driving sway assembly 230 drive the storage compartment 100 to move upward, or the driven source 300 and the driving sway assembly 230 move towards the mounting base 400, causing the storage compartment 100 to move downward under the weight.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the drive yaw assembly 230 includes a first moving plate 231 and a first abutting wheel 232. The end of the first moving plate 231 is tightly connected to the drive shaft 220, and the first abutting wheel 232 is rotatably connected to the end of the first moving plate 231 away from the drive shaft 220 and is used to abut against the bottom of the storage compartment 100. The driven source 300 includes a second moving plate 310 and a second abutting wheel 320. The end of the second moving plate 310 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the mounting cavity, and the second abutting wheel 320 is rotatably connected to the end of the second moving plate 310 away from the bottom wall of the mounting cavity and is used to abut against the end of the storage compartment 100. The ends of the first moving plate 231 and the second moving plate 310 are respectively provided with a first tooth 330 and a second tooth 340, and the first tooth 330 and the second tooth 340 mesh and fit together. The first tooth 330 and the second tooth 340 are meshed as the drive oscillating component 230 and the driven source 300 transmission connection structure. On the one hand, it is conducive to achieving structural optimization. On the other hand, it is conducive to forming a distance-saving lever, so that the drive shaft 220 can drive the storage compartment 100 to move a long distance by rotating a small angle.

[0037] In other embodiments, the first movable plate 231 and the second movable plate 310 can also be used as a transmission structure by a parallelogram structure formed by a transmission shaft. The parallelogram frame structure is a technically formed structure, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0038] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, there are two sets of first abutment wheels 232, with the two sets of first abutment wheels 232 spaced apart at the ends of the first moving plate 231. There are also two sets of second abutment wheels 320, with the two sets of second abutment wheels 320 spaced apart at the ends of the second moving plate 310. The first abutment wheels 232 and the second abutment wheels 320 are always at the same height, and the planes where the fixed points of the two sets of first abutment wheels 232 and the two sets of second abutment wheels 320 are located are always horizontal. Using a two-set abutment wheel structure facilitates a multi-point driving effect (more than two points), further improving the movement stability of the storage compartment 100.

[0039] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the rotation directions of the first moving plate 231 and the second moving plate 310 are always opposite. In other embodiments, if a parallelogram frame structure is used, the first moving plate 231 and the second moving plate 310 are always arranged in parallel.

[0040] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the first movable plate 231 and the second movable plate 310 are horizontally and symmetrically distributed along the center line of the storage compartment 100, which further improves the force balance of the storage compartment 100.

[0041] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, a cover body 500 and a flip-top driving mechanism 600 are also included. The cover body 500 is rotatably connected to the base and is used to cover the opening of the mounting cavity. The flip-top driving mechanism 600 is disposed on the inner sidewall of the opening cavity and is drivenly connected to the cover body 500. The driving source 200 is drivenly connected to the flip-top driving mechanism 600.

[0042] like Figures 1-4As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the flip-cover driving mechanism 600 includes a crankshaft connecting rod unit 610 and a lifting plate 620. The output end of the crankshaft connecting rod unit 610 is drivenly connected to the lifting plate 620. The lifting plate 620 is slidably connected to the side wall of the mounting cavity. The input end of the crankshaft connecting rod unit 610 is tightly connected to the drive shaft 220. The lifting plate 620 is drivenly connected to the end of the cover 500. The top end of the lifting plate 620 is provided with a third tooth 621, and the end of the cover 500 is provided with a fourth tooth 510. During the lifting and lowering process of the lifting plate 620, the third tooth 621 can mesh with the fourth tooth 510. With this design, during the lifting process of the storage compartment 100, the lifting plate 620 drives the cover 500 to rotate and open through the third tooth 621 and the fourth tooth 510, thereby integrating the drive source 200 of the cover 500 and the storage compartment 100 into a single-source drive effect and achieving structural optimization.

[0043] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the crankshaft connecting rod unit 610 includes a third moving plate 611 and a third connecting plate 612. The end of the third moving plate 611 is tightly connected to the end of the drive shaft 220. The end of the third moving plate 611 away from the drive shaft 220 rotates circumferentially around the drive shaft 220. The end of the third connecting plate 612 is rotatably connected to the end of the third moving plate 611 away from the drive shaft 220. The end of the third connecting plate 612 away from the third moving plate 611 is rotatably connected to the lifting plate 620. The crankshaft structure converts the rotational power of the drive shaft 220 into the lifting driving force of the lifting plate 620, further optimizing the structure.

[0044] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, an igniter is also included. The igniter is disposed at the output end of the flip-top driving mechanism 600. After being driven by the flip-top driving mechanism 600, the igniter can move to the top of the storage compartment 100 and is used to ignite the user's cigarette stick. Integrating the igniter onto the lifting plate 620, thereby integrating the igniter, the cover 500, and the driving source 200 of the storage compartment 100 into one unit, allows all moving parts of the ashtray to be driven synchronously and sequentially by a single source, saving the driving source 200 and optimizing the space structure.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
