[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model discloses a portable ashtray, including an ashtray body 1000. The ashtray body 1000 includes a rectangular base plate 100. A first side plate 110, a second side plate 120, a third side plate 130, and a fourth side plate 140 are vertically connected to the periphery of the base plate 100 to form a cavity 101 for containing ash. The top of the cavity 101 has an opening 102 communicating with the cavity 101. The base plate 100 has first fold lines 160 arranged diagonally. The base plate 100 can... The ashtray body 1000 is folded inward along the first fold line 160. A second fold line 170 is provided at the connection between each pair of the first side plate 110, the second side plate 120, the third side plate 130 and the fourth side plate 140. The first side plate 110 and the second side plate 120 are rotatably connected to the cover plate 150. The ashtray body 1000 can be folded into a flat shape through the first fold line 160 and the second fold line 170. The cover plate 150 rotates to fit the surface of the third side plate 130 and the fourth side plate 140 to close the opening 102.
[0024] In a specific embodiment, when the ashtray is needed, the ashtray body 1000, folded into a flat shape, is unfolded. At this time, the bottom plate 100 unfolds along the first fold line 160, and the first side plate 110, second side plate 120, third side plate 130, and fourth side plate 140 unfold along the second fold line 170, forming an ashtray with a cavity 101. The cover plate 150 is rotated to form a certain angle with the third side plate 130 and fourth side plate 140, so that the opening 102 is fully opened. The user can flick ash into the cavity 101 of the ashtray. When there is a lot of ash, the ashtray can be gently shaken to distribute the ash evenly at the bottom of the cavity 101. If it is necessary to temporarily store an unfinished cigarette, the cigarette can be inserted into the opening 102 of the ashtray, with the cigarette tip protruding outside the ashtray for easy smoking later. After use, the cover plate 150 is rotated to fit against the surfaces of the third side plate 130 and fourth side plate 140, closing the opening 102. Then, the ashtray body 1000 is folded into a flat shape along the first fold line 160 and the second fold line 170 for easy carrying and storage.
[0025] Understandably, the ashtray body 1000 can be folded into a flat shape via the first fold line 160 and the second fold line 170, greatly reducing its space occupation and making it convenient for users to carry. Users can put it in their pockets, bags, etc., for use anytime, anywhere. The cover 150 can rotate to fit the surfaces of the third side panel 130 and the fourth side panel 140, effectively sealing the opening 102 to prevent ash leakage and smoke odor, protecting the surrounding environment and the health of others. In addition to its basic ash collection function, it can also serve as a temporary container for cigarettes. Users can place unfinished cigarettes in the ashtray, avoiding problems such as burns or loss caused by carelessly leaving cigarettes lying around. Furthermore, the ashtray of this utility model has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and is easy to mass-produce and promote.
[0026] In some embodiments, the base plate 100, the four side plates, and the cover plate 150 are made of lightweight, durable plastic materials, such as polypropylene or polyethylene. These materials have good flexibility and foldability, meeting the folding requirements of the ashtray. The inner surface inside the cavity 101 is covered with one or more layers of flame-retardant materials such as aluminum foil, which also have waterproof, moisture-proof, and corrosion-resistant properties, ensuring the service life of the ashtray.
[0027] Reference Figure 1When manufacturing the third side panel 130 and / or the fourth side panel 140, space is pre-reserved at the corresponding positions for installing the first snap-fit component 200. The elastic slot can be integrally molded with the side panel using injection molding, ensuring the structural stability and elasticity of the slot. Similarly, during the manufacturing process, a position is reserved for installing the second snap-fit component 300. The same injection molding method is used as for the side panel, ensuring a tight fit between the elastic buckle and the cover panel 150. During assembly, the elastic buckle is accurately aligned with the elastic slot, and the cover panel 150 is gently pressed to engage the elastic buckle with the elastic slot, completing the connection between the cover panel 150 and the side panel. Through the cooperation of the first snap-fit component 200 and the second snap-fit component 300, the cover panel 150 is securely fixed to the third side panel 130 and / or the fourth side panel 140, effectively preventing accidental opening of the cover panel 150 during carrying, improving the sealing and stability of the ashtray, and preventing ash leakage and smoke odor.
[0028] Specifically, the elastic slot is made of a highly elastic plastic material, and its shape is designed as a groove-like structure with an opening 102. The opening 102 is slightly narrower than the space inside the groove, allowing the elastic buckle to easily engage and securely fix itself. The elastic buckle is shaped to match the elastic slot and has a certain degree of elastic deformation capability, allowing it to deform under external force, thus engaging or disengaging from the elastic slot. During the manufacturing process, the dimensional accuracy of the elastic slot and the elastic buckle is strictly controlled to ensure a tight and reliable fit between them. The engagement method of the elastic slot and the elastic buckle is simple and practical, and easy to operate. Users only need to gently press or pull the cover plate 150 to achieve engagement and disengagement. At the same time, this engagement method has good sealing performance, effectively preventing the leakage of ash and smoke.
[0029] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the snap-fit, anti-slip textures can be added to the surface of the elastic buckle to increase friction with the elastic groove. Additionally, raised structures can be incorporated inside the elastic groove to engage with the grooves on the elastic buckle, further enhancing the stability of the snap-fit.
[0030] In some embodiments, in addition to the engagement of the elastic slot and the elastic buckle, a magnetic snap-fit structure can also be used. Magnets are provided on the third side plate 130 and / or the fourth side plate 140, and an iron sheet or another magnet is provided at the corresponding position on the cover plate 150, using magnetic attraction to fix the cover plate 150. This method is convenient to install and has a certain buffering effect, which can reduce the collision noise between the cover plate 150 and the side plate.
[0031] Reference Figure 1When manufacturing the first side plate 110 and / or the second side plate 120, a position for installing the extinguishing protrusion 400 is reserved on the inner wall of the side plate. The extinguishing protrusion 400 is made of flame-retardant materials, such as ceramics or fiberglass, and is manufactured into a cylindrical shape through injection molding and sintering processes, and then firmly installed on the inner wall of the side plate. The height and diameter of the extinguishing protrusion 400 can be designed according to actual needs to ensure effective cigarette extinguishing. The extinguishing protrusion 400 provides users with a convenient and safe way to extinguish cigarettes. Users simply press the cigarette on the extinguishing protrusion 400 to quickly extinguish it, avoiding the fire hazard caused by carelessly discarded cigarette butts. At the same time, the use of flame-retardant materials also ensures the safety of the ashtray.
[0032] Furthermore, in addition to the cylindrical extinguishing protrusion 400, it can also be designed in other shapes, such as conical or square. Additionally, textures or grooves can be added to the surface of the extinguishing protrusion 400 to increase friction with the cigarette and improve the extinguishing effect.
[0033] When manufacturing the cover plate 150, the two cover plates 150 are designed as a single unit, with a third fold line 180 reserved between them. The third fold line 180 can be achieved using a thin-plate connection, hinge connection, or other methods to ensure the two cover plates 150 can rotate flexibly. With the ashtray body 1000 open, the two cover plates 150 can be set at a certain angle to each other as needed for user convenience. The third fold line 180 between the two cover plates 150 allows for flexible adjustment based on actual usage, improving ease of use. For example, when flicking ash, the two cover plates 150 can be separated at a certain angle to facilitate ash falling into the ashtray; when carrying, the two cover plates 150 can be closed to reduce space occupation. To further improve the flexibility of the cover plates 150, a damping structure can be provided at the third fold line 180, providing resistance during rotation and allowing them to maintain any angle position for easy adjustment by the user.
[0034] When manufacturing the cover plate 150 and the first side plate 110 and the second side plate 120, a clearance groove 151 is reserved at the connection point with the cover plate 150. The clearance groove 151 adopts a strip-shaped groove design, and its width and depth should match the thickness of the first side plate 110 and the second side plate 120. When the ashtray body 1000 is in a folded state, the top of the first side plate 110 and the top of the second side plate 120 can be accurately inserted into the clearance groove 151, achieving a tight fit between the cover plate 150 and the side plates. The setting of the clearance groove 151 makes the ashtray more compact in the folded state, reducing the space occupied. At the same time, the clearance groove 151 can also play a certain positioning role for the cover plate 150, preventing the cover plate 150 from shifting during the folding process, improving the accuracy and stability of folding.
[0035] When manufacturing the base plate 100, a supporting side plate 111 extends outward from its perimeter. The supporting side plate 111 is made of the same material as the base plate 100 and extends beyond the first side plate 110, second side plate 120, third side plate 130, and fourth side plate 140 through injection molding and stamping processes. The height of the supporting side plate 111 can be designed according to actual needs to ensure good support. The supporting side plate 111 increases the stability and strength of the ashtray, allowing it to better bear the weight of the ash. At the same time, the supporting side plate 111 also prevents the ashtray from direct contact with surfaces such as tabletops during use, avoiding contamination or damage.
[0036] When manufacturing the ashtray body 1000, a support recess is provided along the periphery of the opening 102 on the third side plate 130 and / or the fourth side plate 140. The support recess can be manufactured using processes such as stamping or cutting, and its shape and size should match the diameter of the cigarette. The depth of the support recess should be moderate, serving to support the cigarette without affecting the normal use of the ashtray. The support recess provides the user with a convenient and stable position to place the cigarette. During smoking, the user can temporarily place the cigarette in the support recess, avoiding problems such as burns or loss caused by careless placement. Furthermore, a cigarette fixing device, such as an elastic clip or slot, is provided within the cavity 101 of the ashtray body 1000 to cooperate with the support recess. When the user inserts a cigarette into the ashtray, the cigarette fixing device can secure the cigarette within the cavity 101, preventing the cigarette from shaking or falling out.
[0037] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
