Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an ashtray, specifically an ashtray that quickly extinguishes cigarette butts. Background Technology

[0002] Ashtrays are tools for holding cigarette ash and butts. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and health, various innovative ashtray designs have emerged in the market. For example, ashtrays made of environmentally friendly silicone material have gradually become the first choice for consumers due to their environmental safety, resistance to high and low temperatures, drop and impact resistance, lightweight and easy cleaning.

[0003] Cigarette butts, due to their inherent characteristics, are not easily extinguished and often continue to smoke even after being thrown into an ashtray, affecting the environment. The fastest way to extinguish a cigarette is to press it repeatedly. Some ashtrays have extinguishing channels or holes for this purpose. However, pressing the butt can easily cause dirt to accumulate on the surface of the ashtray, affecting its appearance. Another method is to fill the ashtray with water. However, when cigarette butts are soaked in water, the water will change color, affecting the appearance of the ashtray and making it difficult to clean. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an ashtray that can quickly extinguish cigarette butts.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An ashtray for quickly extinguishing cigarette butts, comprising:

[0007] The cylinder body has a cavity inside, and one end of it has an opening that communicates with the cavity;

[0008] An end cap, detachably connected to the cylinder body, includes a housing with a circumferentially arranged annular water storage cavity. An inlet communicating with the cavity is formed through the middle of the housing. A cover plate is provided at the upper end of the water storage cavity. The cover plate has a first state of sealing the water storage cavity with the housing and a second state of releasing the housing to expose the water inlet of the water storage cavity. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water storage cavity. A pressure plate hinged to the bottom of the end cap is provided at the bottom of the water outlet. The front end of the pressure plate extends below the inlet to form a pressing part. A reset member is provided at the rear end of the pressure plate. The pressure plate has an initial position for sealing the water outlet and a extinguishing position for opening the water outlet when the pressing part is pressed by external force.

[0009] The pressure plate is equipped with a sealing column corresponding to the water outlet.

[0010] The pressing part is equipped with a smoke extinguishing plate.

[0011] The front end of the pressure plate is surrounded by a baffle, and the projection of the water outlet on the pressure plate is located inside the baffle.

[0012] The bottom of the housing is provided with a positioning hole, and the reset component includes a top rod disposed in the positioning hole and an elastic element disposed between the positioning hole and the top rod.

[0013] The top rod extends outward in a circumferential direction to form a limiting block. The rear end of the pressure plate is provided with a mounting hole that mates with the top rod. The top rod is inserted into the mounting hole, and the limiting block and the pressure plate form a limiting fit.

[0014] The bottom of the housing inlet is provided with a contraction opening, and the pressing part is located below the contraction opening.

[0015] The water storage chamber has an open opening at its upper end.

[0016] One end of the cover plate is hinged to the housing, and the other end is provided with a snap-fit ​​assembly between the cover plate and the housing.

[0017] The bottom of the cover plate is provided with a pressure block that fits into the cavity wall of the water storage chamber, and a sealing ring is provided between the pressure block and the cavity wall.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by using the force of the cigarette butt acting on the pressing position of the pressure plate, the water outlet is opened, and the flowing water is used to extinguish the cigarette butt. The operation is simple and the cigarette butt will not be soaked in water all the time, causing staining of the inner wall of the ashtray.

[0024] 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.

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses an ashtray for quickly extinguishing cigarette butts, comprising: a cylinder body 100 and an end cap 200 detachably connected to the cylinder body 100. The cylinder body is cylindrical, and the end cap is annular, with a central inlet 210 for easy disposal of cigarette ash or cigarette butts into the cylinder body. Preferably, multiple cigarette holders are provided around the inlet for holding cigarettes, allowing the cigarette to be held in place in the cigarette holders when not in use, thus providing support. Simultaneously, the burning end of the cigarette is located at the inlet, allowing the ash produced during combustion to fall into the cylinder body.

[0027] The cylinder body 100 has a cavity 110 inside, and one end of the cylinder body has an opening that communicates with the cavity 110. The size of the cylinder body is designed according to the requirements, preferably the size of an aluminum can, so as to accommodate more cigarette butts and reduce the frequency of cleaning.

[0028] An end cap 200, detachably connected to the cylinder body 100, includes a housing 220. The housing 220 has a circumferentially arranged annular water storage cavity 230. An inlet 210 communicating with a cavity 110 is formed through the middle of the housing 220. A cover plate 400 is provided at the upper end of the water storage cavity 230. The cover plate 400 has a first state of cooperating with the housing 220 to seal the water storage cavity 230 and a second state of releasing the cooperation with the housing 220 to expose the water inlet of the water storage cavity 230. A water outlet 250 is provided at the bottom of the water storage cavity 230. A pressure plate 500 is hinged to the bottom of the end cap at the bottom of the water outlet 250. The front end of the pressure plate 500 extends to below the inlet 210 to form a pressing part 510. A reset member 520 is provided at the rear end of the pressure plate 500. The pressure plate 500 has an initial position of blocking the water outlet 250 and a smoke-extinguishing position of opening the water outlet 250 when the pressing part 510 is pressed by an external force.

[0029] The initial position is as follows: Figure 2As shown, at this time, under the action of the reset component, the pressure plate moves towards the water outlet, thereby blocking the water outlet. Water will then not flow out of the outlet, and the smoke extinguishing position will be as shown. Figure 4 As shown, this position is used to open the water outlet, allowing water to flow out from the outlet and fall onto the pressure plate. The pressure plate tilts under its own force, causing the water to flow towards the cigarette butt pressed on the pressing part, thus extinguishing the cigarette butt with the water flow.

[0030] Preferably, the pressure plate is hinged to the housing via a hinge shaft. To enable better operation, the hinge hole is preferably designed as a strip, which allows it to move downwards. When pressed, it moves downwards and rotates relative to the housing, and the rear end of the pressure plate moves upwards, causing the reset member to deform under force.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the pressure plate 500 is provided with a sealing column 530 corresponding to the water outlet 250. In order to better seal the water outlet, a sealing column is provided at the corresponding position on the pressure plate. In the initial position, the sealing column is inserted into the water outlet and seals the water outlet, so that its sealing performance is better.

[0032] The pressing part 510 is provided with a smoke extinguishing plate 550. The smoke extinguishing plate is designed to withstand the high temperature of the cigarette butt. It is generally made of high temperature resistant materials, such as metal sheets or ceramics, to avoid the temperature of the cigarette butt from damaging the pressing plate.

[0033] The front end of the pressure plate is teardrop-shaped, tapering radially and converging at the pressing part. Simultaneously, a circumferential baffle 540 is provided around the front end of the pressure plate 500, and the projection of the water outlet 250 onto the pressure plate 500 is located inside the baffle 540. This prevents water dripping onto the pressure plate from falling off the sides and guides it to the pressing part, i.e., the cigarette extinguishing plate, ensuring the water flow is fully applied to the cigarette butt, thus improving water utilization.

[0034] At the same time, the enclosure should cover the water outlet so that the dripping water will not drip directly into the cylinder, but will always flow along the inclined angle of the pressure plate to the smoke extinguishing plate.

[0035] The bottom of the housing 220 is provided with a positioning hole. The reset member 520 includes a top rod 521 disposed in the positioning hole and an elastic member 522 disposed between the positioning hole and the top rod 521. The design of the positioning hole realizes the positioning and guiding function of the reset member, ensuring that the pressure plate is always subjected to force at the rear end, so that it rotates relative to the hinge point, thereby ensuring that the front end of the pressure plate always has a force in the direction of the housing, thereby improving the reliability of its sealing of the water outlet.

[0036] The push rod 521 extends outward in a circumferential direction to form a limiting block 523. The rear end of the pressure plate 500 is provided with a mounting hole that mates with the push rod 521. The push rod 521 is inserted into the mounting hole, and the limiting block 523 and the pressure plate 500 form a limiting fit. The limiting block and the pressure plate cooperate, and the limiting block can be driven to move relative to each other by the pressure plate, thereby generating a deformation force. Then, it returns to its original position after the external force on the pressure plate disappears. In this embodiment, the elastic element is preferably a spring. In other embodiments, a material with deformation capability, such as a spring sheet, can be used to directly apply a force to the rear end of the pressure plate, or a tension spring can be used to directly apply an upward force to the front end of the pressure plate. The choice can be made according to the requirements.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the inlet of the housing 220 is provided with a contraction opening 240, and the pressing part 510 is located below the contraction opening 240. The design of the contraction opening makes the entire inlet radially narrow from the outside to the inside, so that the ash that falls into the inlet can fall along the contraction opening. At the same time, it also ensures that the ash inside the ashtray is not easy to fall out when it is accidentally tilted.

[0038] The water storage cavity 230 has an open opening at the upper end and adopts a split structure, that is, the shell and the cover plate are processed separately. Compared with the conventional end cap design, it needs to be welded and fixed as a whole to ensure the sealing, which reduces the cost.

[0039] Meanwhile, the bottom of the cover plate 400 is provided with a pressure block 410 that mates with the cavity wall of the water storage chamber 230, and a sealing ring is provided between the pressure block 410 and the cavity wall. The design of the sealing ring ensures the reliability of the seal at the connection point, and makes subsequent water addition simpler without affecting the seal. Compared with other water tanks that use sealing plugs, this solution has the advantages of simplicity and reliability.

[0040] One end of the cover plate 400 is hinged to the housing 220, and the other end of the cover plate 400 is provided with a snap-fit ​​assembly 300 between it and the housing 220.

[0041] A torsion spring is provided on the side of the cover plate that is hinged to the housing. The elastic force of the torsion spring allows the cover plate to open automatically when the buckle assembly is opened, making it convenient to add water.

[0042] The latching assembly includes a button that can swing relative to the housing. The front end of the button is provided with a hook, and the cover plate is provided with a corresponding slot. The hook and the slot work together to lock the two together. Pressing the button can release the lock. The latching assembly adopts a conventional structure, so it will not be described in detail.

[0043] 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.
