Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of intelligent storage technology, and in particular relates to a single-source driven automatic ignition intelligent ashtray. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional smart ashtrays enhance ease of use by integrating automatic ignition devices. Their functions typically include sensor-triggered ignition, ash collection, and fireproof design to meet users' needs for intelligent and safe operation. These products combine mechanical structures with electronic control systems to automate cigarette lighting, optimizing the traditional cigarette-lighting experience.

[0003] However, existing smart ashtrays generally use a lift-type igniter design, which requires an independent drive source or a drive device linked to structures such as the flip cover to control the lifting action. This design necessitates the addition of extra drive components or complex linkage mechanisms to the overall structure, increasing manufacturing costs and assembly difficulty. Furthermore, it is prone to problems such as jamming and wear due to the coordination of multiple components, affecting long-term stability. The structural redundancy issue urgently needs optimization to improve product reliability and economy. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a single-source driven automatic ignition smart ashtray, which aims to solve the technical problem that the igniter structure of existing smart ashtrays requires additional drive components or complex linkage mechanisms, which not only increases manufacturing costs and assembly difficulty, but also easily causes problems such as jamming and wear due to the cooperation of multiple components, affecting the long-term stability of use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a single-source driven automatic ignition smart ashtray, comprising a shell, a cover, an ignition mechanism, and a drive mechanism. The shell is provided with an open cavity; the cover is rotatably connected to the shell; the ignition mechanism is disposed on the cover; and the drive mechanism is disposed on the shell and is used to drive the cover to rotate and move. The ignition mechanism rotates and moves along a preset path with the cover during its movement.

[0006] Optionally, the cover is configured in the shape of a plate, and the ignition mechanism is located at the end of the cover facing the opening cavity.

[0007] Optionally, the ignition mechanism is located at the center of the cover.

[0008] Optionally, the ignition position of the ignition mechanism is located at the end of the ignition mechanism opposite to the cover.

[0009] Optionally, the cover is used to open or close the opening of the open cavity. When the cover is closed on the opening of the open cavity, the ignition position of the ignition mechanism is facing the open cavity. When the cover rotates to its limit position away from the opening of the open cavity, the ignition position of the ignition mechanism is facing the outside of the open cavity.

[0010] Optionally, the ignition mechanism protrudes from the end face of the cover, and when the cover is closed at the opening position of the open cavity, at least a portion of the ignition mechanism extends into the open cavity.

[0011] Optionally, the ignition mechanism includes a mounting base, a sensing component, and an ignition component. The mounting base is fixedly disposed on the end face of the cover. The sensing component is disposed on the mounting base. The ignition component is disposed on the sensing component and located on one side of the sensing component. The sensing component is used to detect the distance between an external object and the sensing component. The sensing component is electrically connected to the ignition component. When the sensing component detects that an external object has moved into a preset range, the sensing component drives the ignition component to operate.

[0012] Optionally, the sensing component is a distance sensor, and the sensing end of the sensing component and the high-temperature output end of the ignition component are located on the same side wall of the mounting base.

[0013] Optionally, the ignition component is an electronic igniter.

[0014] Optionally, the ignition component is an open flame igniter.

[0015] The single-source driven automatic ignition smart ashtray provided in this utility model embodiment has at least one of the following technical effects: by designing the igniter and the cover as a synchronously moving structure, the mechanical layout of traditional smart ashtrays is effectively simplified, the complex drive components required for independently lifting igniters are eliminated, and the operational stability of the equipment is significantly improved. The integrated linkage between the cover and the igniter not only reduces mechanical wear and potential failure points, but also reduces hardware costs and assembly difficulty by eliminating independent drive sources, while taking into account the intuitiveness of user operation—opening the cover triggers ignition preparation, and closing the cover automatically resets the ashtray, making the overall structure more compact and reliable, and simultaneously enhancing maintenance convenience, achieving a dual breakthrough in functional integration and cost optimization.

[0025] 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 1-3 The described embodiments are exemplary and intended to explain embodiments of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0026] 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.

[0027] 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.

[0028] 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.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a unit-driven automatic ignition smart ashtray is provided, including a housing 400, a cover 100, an ignition mechanism 200, and a drive mechanism 300. The housing 400 is provided with an open cavity 500; the cover 100 is rotatably connected to the housing 400; the ignition mechanism 200 is disposed on the cover 100; the drive mechanism 300 is disposed on the housing 400 and is used to drive the cover 100 to rotate and move; wherein, the ignition mechanism 200 rotates and moves along a preset path with the cover 100 during the movement of the cover 100.

[0030] In this embodiment, the housing 400 has an identification unit 600 located at its top near the opening edge of the opening cavity 500. The identification unit 600 is a sensing structure such as a proximity switch or an infrared sensor. The identification unit 600 is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 300. When the identification unit 600 detects an object approaching, it can activate the driving mechanism 300, causing the driving mechanism 300 to drive the cover 100 to rotate away from the opening cavity 500, thereby opening the proximity cavity. When the cover 100 is closed on the opening cavity 500, the identification end of the identification unit 600 is not blocked by the cover 100.

[0031] The drive mechanism 300 is disposed within the open cavity 500, and a sliding ash bin is also disposed within the open cavity 500. The structure of the drive mechanism 300 is flexible, and crankshaft connecting rod drive structure, pneumatic lifting structure, and electric lifting structure can all be adapted to this embodiment of the utility model. This embodiment will not elaborate further. The drive mechanism 300 is drivenly connected to the cover 100 and the ash bin and is used to drive the cover 100 to rotate and drive the ash bin to move linearly along the inner wall extension direction of the open cavity 500.

[0032] By designing the igniter and the cover 100 as a synchronously moving structure, the mechanical layout of traditional smart ashtrays is effectively simplified, eliminating the complex drive components required for independently lifting igniters and significantly improving the stability of equipment operation. The integrated linkage between the cover 100 and the igniter not only reduces mechanical wear and potential failure points, but also lowers hardware costs and assembly difficulty by eliminating independent drive sources, while also ensuring intuitive user operation—opening the cover triggers ignition preparation, and closing the cover automatically resets the device. This makes the overall structure more compact and reliable, and simultaneously enhances maintenance convenience, achieving a dual breakthrough in functional integration and cost optimization.

[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the cover 100 is configured in the shape of a plate, and the ignition mechanism 200 is disposed at the end of the cover 100 facing the opening cavity 500. In this embodiment, the cover 100 is configured in the shape of a square plate, and the end face of the cover 100 near the ignition mechanism 200 is provided with multiple sets of reinforcing ribs 110 for enhancing the structural strength of the cover 100. The end of the cover 100 is rotatably connected to the top of the housing 400 through a rotating shaft structure, and the end of the cover 100 near its rotation center is provided with an external toothed portion. The driving mechanism 300 is driven and connected to the cover 100 through a gear transmission structure.

[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the ignition mechanism 200 is located at the center of the cover 100. In this embodiment, the ignition mechanism 200 located at the center is advantageous in avoiding the inner wall of the opening cavity 500 during movement, thus preventing interference. In other embodiments, the ignition mechanism 200 can be located at the edge of the cover 100, as long as the conditions for normal movement of the ignition mechanism 200 are met.

[0035] like Figures 1-3As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the ignition position of the ignition mechanism 200 is located at the end of the ignition mechanism 200 facing away from the cover 100. Based on the user's usage habits, setting the ignition mechanism 200 facing away from the cover 100 is beneficial to providing the user with the ignition angle over the largest range, thereby improving the user's ease of use.

[0036] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the cover 100 is used to open or close the opening of the cavity 500. When the cover 100 covers the opening of the cavity 500, the ignition position of the ignition mechanism 200 faces the cavity 500. When the cover 100 rotates and moves away from the opening of the cavity 500 to its limit position, the ignition position of the ignition mechanism 200 faces the outside of the cavity 500. With this design, after the cover 100 rotates and moves to close the cavity 500, the entire ignition mechanism 200 can be hidden inside the cavity 500, thereby improving the structural simplicity of the smart ashtray in the non-use state and reducing the space occupation and safety performance of the smart ashtray in the non-use state.

[0037] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the ignition mechanism 200 protrudes from the end face of the cover 100. When the cover 100 is closed on the opening of the open cavity 500, at least a portion of the ignition mechanism 200 extends into the open cavity 500. Specifically, the protruding ignition mechanism 200 does not require the installation space of the cover 100, that is, the thickness of the cover 100 does not need to be changed, and the installation conditions of the ignition mechanism 200 can still be met. The overall thickness of the ignition mechanism 200 is less than the depth of the open cavity 500. In this embodiment, the thickness of the ignition mechanism 200 is also less than the inner depth of the ashtray. When the cover 100 is closed on the open cavity 500, the end of the ignition mechanism 200 extends into the ashtray.

[0038] like Figures 1-3As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the ignition mechanism 200 includes a mounting base 210, a sensing component 220, and an ignition component 230. The mounting base 210 is fixedly disposed on the end face of the cover 100. The sensing component 220 is disposed on the mounting base 210, and the ignition component 230 is disposed on the sensing component 220 and located on one side of the sensing component 220. The sensing component 220 is used to detect the distance between an external object and the sensing component 220. The sensing component 220 is electrically connected to the ignition component 230. When the sensing component 220 detects that an external object has moved into a preset range, the sensing component 220 drives the ignition component 230 to operate. In this embodiment, both the mounting base 210 and the cover 100 are integrally molded from rigid plastic masterbatch by injection molding to increase the overall structural strength of the cover 100 and the mounting base 210 and reduce the probability of the mounting base 210 separating from the cover 100. The mounting base 210 is provided with mounting slots for mounting the sensing component 220 and the ignition component 230; in other embodiments, the mounting base 210 can be mounted on the cover 100 by glue, screws or snap-fit ​​structure.

[0039] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the sensing component 220 is a distance sensor, such as a proximity switch, an infrared sensor, or a grating sensor. The sensing end of the sensing component 220 and the high-temperature output end of the ignition component 230 are located on the same side wall of the mounting base 210. Based on the user's usage habits, when the user holds the tobacco close to the ignition component 230, the sensing component 220 can promptly identify and activate the ignition component 230. Therefore, in this embodiment, there are two sets of sensing components 220, which are distributed on both sides of the ignition component 230, thereby improving the sensing range and sensing angle of the sensing components 220. In other embodiments, the number of sensing components 220 can be more combinations.

[0040] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the ignition component 230 is an electronic igniter. In this embodiment, the ignition component 230 is an electric arc igniter. In other embodiments, the ignition component 230 can be an electric heating wire igniter. In this embodiment, the driving source of the driving mechanism 300 is a servo motor. The servo motor drives the cover 100 to flip and the ashtray to rise and fall through the crankshaft connecting rod transmission structure. The servo motor requires electric power. Therefore, the circuit in the electronic igniter can be connected in parallel to the main control circuit, which is beneficial to improving safety performance and control convenience.

[0041] like Figures 1-3As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the ignition component 230 is an open flame igniter. In this embodiment, the ignition component 230 is a natural gas lighter, a coal gas lighter, etc. In other embodiments, the ignition component 230 can be a fuel lighter. The open flame ignition structure is beneficial to improving the ignition effect of tobacco, reducing the user's lighting time, and improving the ease of use of the ashtray.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
