Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette box technology, and in particular to a multifunctional cigarette box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, small-pack cigarette boxes are divided into hard packs and soft packs, and their prices vary due to differences in packaging materials. Many smokers prefer soft pack cigarettes, but once a portion of the cigarettes is removed from a soft pack, the packaging is prone to deformation, especially if placed in a trouser pocket or clothing, which can easily lead to compression and deformation of the box and the cigarettes inside, affecting the smoking experience. Many smokers now purchase cigarette cases, typically made of metal, plastic, or wood, which offer moisture-proof, pressure-resistant, and portable features. Removing cigarettes from the soft pack and placing them in the case prevents the soft pack from easily deforming. To improve the convenience of cigarette cases, some multi-functional cigarette cases have emerged, such as those incorporating a lighter function. These products are well-received among younger smokers, especially by urban consumers who value technology and convenience. However, current multi-functional cigarette cases have fixed sizes and cannot accommodate cigarettes of different diameters, and the cigarettes inside the case are also prone to deformation due to collisions. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a multifunctional cigarette case that can adjust the storage space for cigarettes inside the case to accommodate cigarettes of different diameters, reducing the deformation of cigarettes due to collisions within the case.

[0004] A multifunctional cigarette case according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes:

[0005] The box body has a receiving cavity;

[0006] An ignition mechanism, including an ignition element, is disposed on one side of the housing;

[0009] Using an adjustable component within the storage cavity, multiple cigarettes can be moved to one side of the cavity, allowing for greater packing and reducing the distance between different cigarettes. When adding new cigarettes, the adjustable component can be moved away from the existing cigarettes, increasing the storage space and accommodating more. This clustering of cigarettes reduces their movement within the cavity, minimizing deformation caused by collisions. Adjusting the position of the adjustable component allows for different cigarette sizes and diameters, accommodating various models and specifications and enhancing the pack's versatility. A control block facilitates easy repositioning of the adjustable component, improving the convenience of adjusting the storage space. The ignition mechanism allows for easy lighting without a separate lighter, preventing damage from pressure between the pack and the lighter. This device combines multiple functions: cigarette storage, adjustable storage space, and ignition. The control block is located on the side of the box away from the ignition element. This prevents accidental contact with the control block when lighting a cigarette with the ignition element, and also prevents accidental contact with the ignition element when operating the control block. It also reduces the transfer of high-temperature heat generated by the ignition element to the control block, so that smokers can use the time after lighting a cigarette or while smoking to adjust the position of the adjustment element to adjust the storage space of the cigarette in the cavity without burning their fingers with high temperature.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a multifunctional cigarette box has an oblong sliding hole on the side of the box body opposite to the ignition element.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a multifunctional cigarette case, including a case body 100, an ignition mechanism 200, and an adjustment mechanism 300. The case body 100 has a receiving cavity 120 for storing cigarettes 500. Specifically, the top of the case body 100 has an opening that connects to the receiving cavity 120, allowing the cigarettes 500 to be placed into the receiving cavity 120 through the top opening. The ignition mechanism 200 includes an ignition element 210, which is located on one side of the case body 100 and is used to ignite the cigarettes 500. In this context, the ignition element 210 can be a piezoelectric ceramic, generating high voltage through impact to ignite the cigarette 500. Alternatively, the ignition element 210 can be a tungsten filament heater, an arc release device, etc., releasing energy to ignite the cigarette 500 by connecting to a power supply. The adjustment mechanism 300 includes an adjustment element 310 and a control block 320. The adjustment element 310 and the control block 320 are connected. The adjustment element 310 is slidably disposed within the receiving cavity 120, and the control block 320 is slidably connected to the side of the housing 100 opposite to the ignition element 210. The adjustment element 310 is used to adjust the storage space of the cigarette 500 within the receiving cavity 120. (See reference...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ignition element 210 is located on the front side of the housing 100, and the control block 320 is slidably connected to the rear side of the housing 100. Specifically, the adjusting element 310 is located inside the receiving cavity 120 in the vertical direction. The adjusting element 310 can be a push net, a push rod, or other device that can move the cigarette 500 by pushing one side of the cigarette 500. Specifically, the space between the adjusting element 310 and one short side of the receiving cavity 120 is the storage space for the cigarette 500.

[0037] Specifically, the adjusting member 310 can move towards the cigarette 500 and move the cigarette 500 in the receiving cavity 120 to one side of the receiving cavity 120, so that the cigarette 500 can be gathered into a pile, reducing the space between the cigarette 500; the adjusting member 310 can also move away from the cigarette 500, so as to increase the storage space of the cigarette 500 in the receiving cavity 120.

[0038] When the number of cigarettes 500 in the receiving cavity 120 is small, the adjusting member 310 located within the receiving cavity 120 can be used to move multiple cigarettes 500 to one side of the receiving cavity 120, thus accumulating multiple cigarettes 500 and reducing the distance between different cigarettes 500. When it is necessary to add new cigarettes 500 to the receiving cavity 120, the adjusting member 310 within the receiving cavity 120 can be moved away from the cigarettes 500, increasing the storage space for cigarettes 500 within the receiving cavity 120 to accommodate more cigarettes 500. By concentrating the cigarettes 500 into a pile using the adjusting member 310, the movement space of the cigarettes 500 within the receiving cavity 120 can be reduced, minimizing the possibility of deformation caused by collisions within the cigarette box. By adjusting the position of the adjusting member 310 to change the storage space of the cigarettes 500 within the receiving cavity 120, the cigarette box can be adapted to accommodate cigarettes 500 of different diameters and sizes, meeting the storage needs of various models and specifications of cigarettes 500 and improving the applicability of the cigarette box. The control block 320 facilitates the movement of the adjustment component 310, improving the ease of adjusting the space for storing cigarettes 500 in the receiving cavity 120. The ignition mechanism 200 allows for easy lighting of the cigarettes 500 without the need for a separate lighter, while also preventing damage from the cigarette case and lighter being squeezed together. It integrates multiple functions, including cigarette storage, adjusting the size of the cigarette storage space in the receiving cavity 120, and ignition. The control block 320 is located on the side of the housing 100 away from the ignition element 210. This can prevent accidental contact with the control block 320 when using the ignition element 210 to light the cigarette 500, and also prevent accidental contact with the ignition element 210 when operating the control block 320. At the same time, it can also reduce the transfer of high-temperature heat generated by the ignition element 210 to the control block 320, so that smokers can use the idle time after lighting the cigarette 500 and while smoking the cigarette 500 to change the position of the adjustment element 310 through the control block 320 to adjust the storage space of the cigarette 500 in the receiving cavity 120 without burning their fingers with high temperature.

[0039] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the two spaces formed between the adjusting member 310 and the two short sides of the receiving cavity 120 are both storage spaces for cigarettes 500.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A waist-shaped sliding hole 130 is provided on the side of the box body 100 opposite to the ignition element 210. The waist-shaped sliding hole 130 is arranged along the sliding direction of the adjusting member 310. The control block 320 is located on the outside of the box body 100. A protruding connecting part 321 is provided on the side of the control block 320 near the box body 100. The connecting part 321 passes through the waist-shaped sliding hole 130 and connects to the adjusting member 310. This allows the adjusting member 310 to be moved by the control block 320 located on the outside of the box body 100, so as to adjust the storage space of the cigarettes 500 in the receiving cavity 120.

[0041] Furthermore, multiple oblong sliding holes 130 are spaced apart along the height direction of the box body 100, and multiple connecting portions 321 are also provided corresponding to the oblong sliding holes 130. The multiple oblong sliding holes 130 spaced apart along the height direction of the box body 100 cooperate with the multiple connecting portions 321 to improve the guiding performance of the control block 320 when sliding relative to the box body 100, and reduce the shaking and rotation of the control block 320.

[0042] Furthermore, a groove 140 is provided on the side of the housing 100 opposite to the ignition element 210. The groove 140 is arranged along the sliding direction of the adjusting element 310, and the control block 320 is slidably disposed within the groove 140. The groove 140 and the control block 320 are connected in cooperation, which can reduce the distance of the control block 320 protruding from the side of the housing 100, reduce the probability of the control block 320 hitting other objects, and improve the service life of the control block 320.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjusting member 310 is a push plate, which is perpendicular to its sliding direction. The push plate increases the contact area with the cigarette 500, thereby reducing the possibility of the adjusting member 310 damaging the surface of the cigarette 500.

[0044] As a preferred option, refer to Figure 3 The length of the push plate is greater than 2 / 3 of the height of the box body 100, in order to improve the reliability of the push plate when pushing the cigarette 500.

[0045] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 An extension 311 is provided on the side of the push plate near the control block 320. The extension 311 is slidably connected to the box body 100, and the control block 320 is connected to the extension 311. The slidable connection between the extension 311 and the box body 100 prevents the extension 311 from rotating about the length direction of the push plate. This avoids rotation of the push plate and control block 320 relative to the box body 100, thereby reducing the wobbling of the control block 320 and the push plate and improving the reliability of the adjustment mechanism 300.

[0046] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 3 The ignition mechanism 200 also includes an ignition switch 220 and a power supply assembly 230. The ignition switch 220 can control the power supply assembly 230 to provide power to the ignition element 210 in order to control the cigarette ignition operation of the ignition element 210.

[0047] Furthermore, the power supply assembly 230 includes a storage battery 231, which is disposed within the receiving cavity 120. The storage battery 231, ignition switch 220, and ignition element 210 are electrically connected in sequence. Specifically, a partition 170 is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity 120. The partition 170 is parallel to the bottom side of the housing 100 and is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 120. The partition 170 is located below the adjusting member 310. The adjusting member 310, the partition 170, and the side of the receiving cavity 120 enclose a storage space for the cigarette 500. The storage battery 231 supplies power to the ignition element 210, improving the reliability of the ignition element 210 in igniting the cigarette 500. The electrical connection between the storage battery 231 and the ignition element 210 is connected or disconnected via the ignition switch 220, facilitating operation.

[0048] Furthermore, the power supply assembly 230 also includes an electronic control module 232 and a charging port 233. The battery 231 and the electronic control module 232 are both located at the bottom of the receiving cavity 120. The charging port 233 extends through the bottom side of the housing 100. The battery 231, the electronic control module 232, and the charging port 233 are electrically connected in sequence. The electronic control module 232 is used to control the voltage and current of the power input to the charging port 233 to match the charging requirements of the battery 231; it can also be used to manage the charging stage, performing trickle pre-charging, constant current, and termination charging operations on the battery 231 to extend its service life; and it can also enhance safety protection functions to prevent damage to the battery 231, charger, charging cable, etc. Specifically, both the battery 231 and the electronic control module 232 are positioned between the partition 170 and the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 120, ensuring a certain distance between the cigarette 500 and the battery 231, and between the cigarette 500 and the electronic control module 232, to avoid mutual interference. Specifically, the charging port 233 is located through the bottom side of the housing 100, facilitating the insertion of the charging cable from outside the housing 100 into the charging port 233. Using the electronic control module 232 and the charging port 233, the battery 231 can be charged, reducing the frequency of battery replacement and allowing for battery recycling, making it more environmentally friendly.

[0049] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The top of the box body 100 can be matched with a top cover 110. The top cover 110 can be used to easily close the opening of the box body 100 so that the receiving cavity 120 becomes closed and prevents the cigarette 500 from falling out of the opening of the box body 100.

[0050] As a preferred option, refer to Figure 2 The top cover 110 is hinged to the side edge of the top of the box body 100 so that the top cover 110 can close the opening of the box body 100 or open the opening of the box body 100.

[0051] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the box body 100 is provided with a cover portion 150. The outer diameter of the cover portion 150 along the length and width directions is smaller than the inner diameter of the top cover 110 along the length and width directions, so that the top cover 110 can be fitted onto the outside of the cover portion 150.

[0052] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5 The outer diameter of the cover portion 150 along the length and width directions is smaller than the outer diameter of the box body 100 portion below the cover portion 150 along the length and width directions. Moreover, when the top cover 110 can be fitted onto the outside of the cover portion 150, each outer side of the top cover 110 is flush with each outer side of the box body 100 portion located below the cover portion 150, so that the structure of the cigarette box is more compact and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0053] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some other embodiments, the two short sides of the box body 100 are provided with anti-slip textures 160 to improve the reliability of the cigarette box when the smoker holds it and reduce the chance of the cigarette box slipping from the hand.

[0054] Understandably, referring to Figures 1 to 3 In some other embodiments, a lighting mechanism 400 is also included. The lighting mechanism 400 includes a light-emitting lamp 410 and a lighting switch 420. The light-emitting lamp 410 is disposed on one of the short sides of the housing 100, and the lighting switch 420 and the ignition switch 220 are disposed on the same side of the housing 100. Specifically, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The light 410 is located on the right side of the box 100, and the light switch 420 is located on the front side of the box 100. Specifically, the light 410 is electrically connected to the light switch 420, and the light switch 420 is electrically connected to the battery 231. The battery 231 supplies power to the light 410, enabling the cigarette box to have an illumination function. This allows smokers to turn on the light 410 for illumination in the dark or in dimly lit places, and also makes it easier for smokers to open the top cover 110, take out cigarettes 500, and light them at night.
