Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of intelligent storage equipment technology, and in particular relates to a low-consumption, durable, intelligent ashtray. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, some smart ashtray products integrate automation functions to enhance the user experience. These products typically feature an automatic ignition device that lights the cigarette upon detection; an automatic opening mechanism that opens or closes the dispensing slot in response to usage needs; and a liftable ashtray, the core component, for easy cleaning and maintenance. The ashtray needs to hold cigarette ash and often contains liquid for extinguishing cigarette butts, as well as any damp items the user may discard.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, the ashtray's overall weight increases significantly and its state becomes unstable due to the need to bear the aforementioned mixed load (including ash, liquids, and damp items). This results in greater resistance being overcome when driving the ashtray to move up and down, requiring higher kinetic energy output from the drive unit. To meet this requirement, more powerful and higher-performance drive components are often needed, inevitably increasing the overall manufacturing cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a low-consumption and durable smart ashtray, which aims to solve the technical problem that existing smart ashtrays require more powerful and higher-performance drive components to drive the lifting of heavy ash bins, resulting in increased overall manufacturing costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a low-consumption, durable, and intelligent ashtray, comprising a mounting base, a flip cover, a sealing cover, a drive source, and an ash bin. The mounting base is provided with an open cavity; the flip cover is rotatably connected to the top edge of the open cavity; the sealing cover is slidably connected within the open cavity; the drive source is driven to the sealing cover; the ash bin is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall of the open cavity and located within the sealing cover; wherein, driven by the drive source, the end of the sealing cover can extend to the outside of the opening of the open cavity and abut against the flip cover to form a sealed cavity covering the ash bin.

[0006] Optionally, a gap is provided between the open cavity and the ash bin, and the sealing cover is slidably connected in the gap.

[0007] Optionally, the driving source includes a first driving member, a moving block, and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the open cavity, and the moving block is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the sealing cover. The output end of the first driving member is drivenly connected to the transmission assembly, and the transmission assembly is drivenly connected to the moving block.

[0008] Optionally, the transmission assembly includes a guide portion, a drive wheel, a transmission belt, and a driven wheel. The driven wheel is rotatably connected to the mounting base. The drive wheel is disposed at the output end of the first driving member. The transmission belt is rotatably connected between the drive wheel and the driven wheel. One end of the moving block is fixedly connected to the transmission belt. The guide portion is disposed on the mounting base and is slidably connected to the ash bin and is used to guide the ash bin to move in a preset direction.

[0009] Optionally, the first driving component is a servo motor.

[0010] Optionally, the guide portion includes a connecting seat, a guide shaft, and a guide seat. There are two sets of connecting seats, which are arranged sequentially and spaced apart on the mounting base along the length direction of the mounting base. The two ends of the guide shaft are fixedly connected between the two sets of connecting seats, and the guide seat is slidably connected to the guide shaft. The guide seat is fixedly connected to the sealing cover.

[0011] Optionally, one set of the connecting seats is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the open cavity, and another set of the connecting seats is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall of the open cavity, with the first driving member disposed on the connecting seat near the bottom wall of the open cavity.

[0012] Optionally, the flip cover includes a second driving member and a rotating cover. The output end of the second driving member is drivenly connected to the rotating cover. One end of the rotating cover is rotatably connected to the opening edge of the opening cavity. The second driving member can drive the rotating cover to rotate in the opening direction of the opening cavity until the rotating cover is parallel to the opening end face of the opening cavity.

[0013] Optionally, the second driving member is driven to the rotating cover via a transmission gear, and the end of the rotating cover is provided with teeth that mesh with the transmission gear.

[0014] Optionally, the bottom of the mounting base is rotatably connected to a rotating base, and the mounting base can rotate and move horizontally via the rotating base.

[0015] The low-energy-consumption and durable intelligent ashtray provided in this utility model embodiment has at least one of the following technical effects: the lightweight sealing cover is driven by the drive source to slide in the open cavity of the mounting base, so that its end extends out of the opening and tightly abuts against the flip cover, thereby dynamically forming a sealed cavity that surrounds the main body of the ashtray outside the ashtray, while the ashtray itself remains stationary; this structure ingeniously replaces the moving part required to achieve the sealing function from the heavy-loaded ashtray to the significantly lighter sealing cover. Therefore, the drive source only needs to overcome the small resistance of the sealing cover's own movement to complete the action, which greatly reduces the requirement for the output kinetic energy of the drive source. It effectively solves the technical defects of high energy consumption, high drive source performance requirements, and increased cost caused by driving the heavy ashtray full of ash, liquid and damp debris to rise and fall, while ensuring the sealing performance of the ashtray.

The following description is based on the accompanying drawings.

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.

[0035] 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.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, a low-energy-consumption and durable smart ashtray is provided, including a mounting base 100, a flip cover 200, a sealing cover 300, a drive source 400, and an ash bin 500. The mounting base 100 is provided with an open cavity 110; the flip cover 200 is rotatably connected to the top edge of the open cavity 110; the sealing cover 300 is slidably connected within the open cavity 110; the drive source 400 is driven to the sealing cover 300; the ash bin 500 is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall of the open cavity 110 and located within the sealing cover 300; wherein, the sealing cover 300 is driven by the drive source 400, and its end can extend outside the opening of the open cavity 110 and abut against the flip cover 200 to form a sealed cavity covering the ash bin 500. In this embodiment, an automatic igniter 800 is provided at the end of the flip cover 200.

[0037] Specifically, the lightweight sealing cover 300 is driven by the drive source 400 to slide within the opening cavity 110 of the mounting base 100, so that its end extends out of the opening and tightly abuts against the flip cover 200, thereby dynamically forming a sealing cavity around the ashtray 500, while the ashtray 500 itself remains stationary. This structure cleverly replaces the heavy-loaded ashtray 500 with the significantly lighter sealing cover 300 to achieve the sealing function. Therefore, the drive source 400 only needs to overcome the small resistance of the sealing cover 300 itself to complete the action, which greatly reduces the energy requirements of the drive source 400. This effectively solves the technical defects of high energy consumption, high performance requirements of the drive source 400, and increased cost caused by driving the heavy ashtray 500 full of ash, liquid and wet debris to rise and fall, while ensuring the sealing performance of the ashtray 500.

[0038] like Figures 1-6As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, a gap is provided between the open cavity 110 and the ash bin 500, and the sealing cover 300 is slidably connected in the gap. The sealing cover 300 slides within the gap reserved between the ash bin 500 and the inner wall of the open cavity 110. This gap provides a precise sliding track for the sealing cover 300, ensuring smooth movement and accurate positioning, while avoiding frictional interference between the sealing cover 300 and the ash bin 500 or the cavity wall. Since the sealing cover 300 slides in the gap, its movement path is clear and the resistance is small, further reducing the resistance that the drive source 400 needs to overcome. This enhances the low energy consumption and low cost advantages brought by replacing the heavy-duty moving part (ash bin 500) with a lightweight moving part (sealing cover 300), effectively avoiding the high load requirements on the drive system for lifting and lowering the heavy ash bin 500 in the traditional structure.

[0039] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the driving source 400 includes a first driving member 410, a moving block 420, and a transmission assembly 430. The transmission assembly 430 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the open cavity 110, and the moving block 420 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the sealing cover 300. The output end of the first driving member 410 is drivenly connected to the transmission assembly 430, and the transmission assembly 430 is drivenly connected to the moving block 420. When the first driving member 410 is activated, it drives the transmission assembly 430 to operate. The transmission assembly 430 drives the moving block 420 connected to it to move. Since the moving block 420 is fixed on the side wall of the sealing cover 300, it pulls the sealing cover 300 to slide along a predetermined path within the open cavity 110. The rotational motion of the first driving component 410 is efficiently converted into the linear motion of the moving block 420 through the transmission component 430, thereby driving the sealing cover 300. This structure is compact and reliable in transmission, and can accurately control the lifting and lowering of the lightweight sealing cover 300 with a small driving force. It significantly reduces the power demand and energy consumption of the drive system, and overcomes the defects of the traditional solution that directly drives the heavy ash bin 500, resulting in high power, high cost and high energy consumption of the drive source 400.

[0040] like Figures 1-6As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the transmission assembly 430 includes a guide portion 431, a drive wheel 432, a transmission belt 433, and a driven wheel 434. The driven wheel 434 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 100. The drive wheel 432 is disposed at the output end of the first driving member 410. The transmission belt 433 is rotatably connected between the drive wheel 432 and the driven wheel 434. One end of the moving block 420 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 433. The guide portion 431 is disposed on the mounting base 100. The guide portion 431 is slidably connected to the ashtray 500 and is used to guide the ashtray 500 to move in a preset direction. The first driving component 410 drives the driving wheel 432 to rotate. The driving wheel 432 drives the driven wheel 434 to rotate via the transmission belt 433. The movable block 420, fixedly connected to the transmission belt 433, moves with the movement of the transmission belt 433, thereby causing the sealing cover 300 to slide. At the same time, the guide part 431 provides precise linear guidance for the movement of the sealing cover 300. The belt drive operates smoothly and with low noise. Combined with the guide part 431, it ensures the stability and reliability of the linear movement of the sealing cover 300. This transmission mechanism is highly efficient and can achieve smooth lifting and lowering of the sealing cover 300 with relatively low input power, further optimizing the energy consumption performance of the system. Due to its simple and reliable structure, it reduces manufacturing costs and completely avoids the stringent performance requirements and increased costs imposed on the drive system by traditional intelligent ashtrays that require lifting and lowering the ashtray containing heavy objects such as ash and liquid.

[0041] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the first driving component 410 is a servo motor. The servo motor, as a power source, precisely starts, stops, and adjusts its speed and direction according to control signals, driving the transmission component 430 to move. The servo motor has the advantages of precise control, fast response speed, and high efficiency, enabling precise control of the lifting position and speed of the lightweight sealing cover 300, ensuring reliable contact between the sealing cover 300 and the flip cover 200 to form a seal. Simultaneously, because the sealing cover 300 has a light load, the required power and torque of the servo motor are significantly reduced, effectively controlling the cost of the core driving component and solving the problem in traditional structures where a high-power, high-cost driving source 400 must be selected to drive the heavy ashtray 500.

[0042] like Figures 1-6As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the guide portion 431 includes a connecting seat 435, a guide shaft 436, and a guide seat 437. There are two sets of connecting seats 435, which are sequentially spaced along the length of the mounting base 100. The two ends of the guide shaft 436 are fixedly connected between the two sets of connecting seats 435. The guide seat 437 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 436 and fixedly connected to the sealing cover 300. The guide seat 437 is fixed to the sealing cover 300 and sleeved on the guide shaft 436 fixed between the two sets of connecting seats 435. When the sealing cover 300 is driven to slide, the guide seat 437 slides linearly along the guide shaft 436, thereby guiding and stabilizing the sealing cover 300. The guide shaft 436 and the guide seat 437 constitute a precise linear guide mechanism, ensuring that the sealing cover 300 (and its fixedly connected guide seat 437) remains stable during movement without deviation or jamming. This rigid guide significantly improves the smoothness and durability of the system movement. At the same time, since the guide mechanism only needs to support the lightweight sealing cover 300 and its related components (rather than the entire fully loaded ash bin 500), its own load is small, wear is low, and life is long, which reduces maintenance requirements and long-term use costs as a whole. It overcomes the disadvantage that the guide part 431 in the traditional lifting ash bin 500 structure is easily damaged by heavy-load impact.

[0043] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, one set of connecting seats 435 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the open cavity 110, and another set of connecting seats 435 is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall of the open cavity 110. The first driving member 410 is disposed on the connecting seat 435 near the bottom wall of the open cavity 110. The two sets of connecting seats 435 are respectively fixed to the side wall and the bottom wall of the open cavity 110, forming a stable support structure; the first driving member 410 (servo motor) is mounted on the connecting seat 435 near the bottom wall. This layout makes full use of the internal space of the mounting base 100, and the structure is compact; placing the drive source 400 at the bottom position lowers the center of gravity of the equipment, improves stability, and facilitates the arrangement and maintenance of the transmission components 430 (such as the transmission belt 433); this optimized layout further improves the overall reliability and space utilization of the system, which is conducive to miniaturization and low-cost manufacturing.

[0044] like Figures 1-6As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the flip cover 200 includes a second driving member 210 and a rotating cover 220. The output end of the second driving member 210 is drivenly connected to the rotating cover 220. One end of the rotating cover 220 is rotatably connected to the opening edge of the opening cavity 110. The second driving member 210 can drive the rotating cover 220 to rotate in the opening direction of the opening cavity 110 until the rotating cover 220 is parallel to the opening end face of the opening cavity 110. When the second driving member 210 is activated, it drives the rotating cover 220 to rotate around its rotational connection point with the opening edge, so that the cover opens or closes the opening of the opening cavity 110. When sealing is required, the rotating cover 220 rotates to a position parallel to the opening end face. The opening and closing of the flip cover 200 is driven by an independent second drive unit 210, decoupled from the lifting and lowering action of the sealing cover 300, thus avoiding excessive burden on the single drive source 400. The flip cover 200 only needs to complete a rotational action, with a relatively independent and light load, therefore the power requirement for the second drive unit 210 is not high, helping to reduce the overall system's energy consumption and the cost of drive components. This design automates the operation of the flip cover 200, improving the user experience, while not affecting the low-energy consumption advantage of the main sealing system (sealing cover 300). In this embodiment, the second drive unit 210 is a servo motor.

[0045] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the second driving member 210 is driven to the rotating cover 220 via a transmission gear 230. The end of the rotating cover 220 is provided with teeth 240 that mesh with the transmission gear 230. The second driving member 210 drives the transmission gear 230 to rotate, and the transmission gear 230 meshes with the teeth 240 at the end of the rotating cover 220, thereby converting the rotational motion of the transmission gear 230 into the opening or closing rotation of the rotating cover 220. The gear transmission method transmits power accurately and reliably, enabling precise control of the opening and closing angle of the rotating cover 220, ensuring that the cover can form a good seal with the end of the raised sealing cover 300 when closed. This structure is compact, has high transmission efficiency, and can achieve smooth opening and closing of the cover with a small driving force, further reducing the performance requirements of the second driving member 210 and the overall energy consumption of the system, which meets the core goal of this solution: low energy consumption and durability.

[0046] like Figures 1-6As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, a rotating base 900 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting base 100, and the mounting base 100 can rotate and move horizontally via the rotating base 900. The user can manually or via an additional drive device (not shown) rotate the mounting base 100 and the entire ashtray structure above it around the rotating base 900 in the horizontal plane. The rotating base 900 provides a horizontal rotation function, greatly facilitating the user to pick up or clean cigarettes from different angles, significantly improving the product's ease of use and user experience. Importantly, this horizontal rotation function is independent of the sealing of the ashtray 500 and the opening and closing of the flip cover 200, completely avoiding the driving of heavy loads or increasing the burden on the main drive system. While optimizing ease of use, it does not introduce the high energy consumption and high cost problems associated with the traditional ashtray 500 lifting structure, perfectly maintaining the core advantages of this solution: low energy consumption and durability.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
