Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charcoal dispenser technology, and specifically to a disposable charcoal dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of outdoor barbecues, camping, and picnics, charcoal has become a widely used primary fuel. Traditional methods of igniting charcoal typically involve using a metal ignition canister to assist in lighting the charcoal, or directly heating the charcoal with ignition tools such as alcohol or a spray gun. While metal ignition canisters are convenient to use, offering advantages such as rapid ignition, high-temperature resistance, and reusability, they also present several inconveniences and safety hazards: First, the process of using traditional metal ignition canisters is cumbersome. After lighting the charcoal, users must pour the hot charcoal from the canister into the oven or grill. This process carries a significant risk of burns due to contact with hot metal parts or splattering embers. Second, users usually need to prepare additional auxiliary tools such as gas, alcohol, and igniters to light the charcoal, increasing the burden of carrying them and placing higher demands on the operating environment, making them unsuitable for use in outdoor or other challenging environments. Furthermore, metal ignition canisters are bulky and heavy, making them inconvenient to store and carry, and unsuitable for lightweight outdoor activities. Finally, their reusability also brings maintenance issues such as cleaning charcoal residue, soot, and metal corrosion after high temperatures, increasing usage costs and hygiene burdens.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with publication number CN204750773U, which discloses a paper-based disposable charcoal ignition bucket structure. This prior art uses disposable packaging paper as the charcoal ignition bucket instead of the traditional metal material. After the charcoal is lit, the charcoal bucket can be used for combustion, and the lit charcoal automatically falls into the oven, eliminating the need to pour the charcoal back and forth, making it safer to use. However, this charcoal ignition bucket is lit from the top. Because the fire burns upwards, the ignition effect of the charcoal is not high, requiring multiple lighting attempts or the use of auxiliary tools such as gas, alcohol, or igniters, which increases costs and wastes labor. Furthermore, the bottom of the charcoal ignition bucket is sealed, preventing air convection inside the bucket, resulting in low ignition and combustion efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is still room for improvement and development in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a disposable carbon-filled bucket, which can effectively solve the technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution applied in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A disposable ignition canister includes an ignition canister body made of combustible material; the ignition canister body includes a base, a canister body, a mounting support, and a paper tube; the canister body has openings at both ends; the base is integrally or detachably installed on the bottom opening of the canister body; an ignition window is provided through the base; an igniter is fixed inside the canister body, and the igniter and the ignition window are correspondingly arranged; the mounting support is fixed inside the canister body; the paper tube has openings at both ends; the bottom opening of the paper tube is detachably installed on the mounting support; an igniter is fixed inside the paper tube, and the igniter and the combustible material are correspondingly arranged.

[0008] According to the above scheme, the ignition window is located at the center of the base, and the igniter is located directly above the ignition window.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the ignition material is ignition wax paper or ignition wire, and the ignition source is an ignition block made of a mixture of paraffin wax and wood chips; when the ignition material is ignition wax paper, the ignition wax paper is placed between the ignition block and the ignition window; when the ignition material is ignition wire, one end of the ignition wire is connected to the ignition block, and the other end passes through the ignition window and extends outside the ignition window.

[0010] According to the above scheme, the ignition block is positioned directly above the ignition window by means of the mounting support and the paper tube, and the ignition wax paper is placed between the mounting support and the ignition window.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the center of the ignition block is formed with an ignition opening that runs through both the upper and lower ends of the ignition block.

[0012] According to the above scheme, the two ends of the mounting support are respectively abutted against the inner walls of the two sides of the barrel; the mounting support includes a panel, the bottom two sides of the panel are symmetrically provided with vertically arranged side plates, the inner sides of the two side plates are symmetrically provided with support plates, and the two support plates are respectively connected to the panel in a locking position; a positioning hole is formed in the center of the panel, the bottom opening of the paper tube is fixed in the positioning hole, and multiple support blocks for fixing the ignition block are protruding on the inner wall of the paper tube, the ignition block is located directly above the positioning hole, and the igniting wax paper is located directly below the positioning hole.

[0016] According to the above scheme, the two symmetrical sides of the barrel are foldable barrel surfaces, and the two foldable barrel surfaces are symmetrically provided with central fold lines; the bottom support is formed with a receiving groove.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This invention is designed so that, in use, the charcoal bin is placed on the charcoal grid of the oven, and then charcoal is poured into the paper tube and the bin. The ignition source is then ignited through the ignition window on the base. Once ignited, the ignition source ignites the charcoal inside the paper tube. This ignition process then ignites the paper tube itself, which in turn ignites the charcoal inside the bin. Finally, the charcoal automatically falls onto the charcoal grid. This design eliminates the need for auxiliary tools such as gas, alcohol, or igniters, making the ignition process convenient and eliminating the need for pouring charcoal. The design minimizes the risk of fire and enhances safety. Igniting from the bottom of the charcoal container results in an upward-burning flame, improving ignition efficiency. Furthermore, the opening at the top of the paper tube creates air convection between the ignition window and the top opening, further improving ignition efficiency. Once the paper tube is burning, the same air convection occurs between the ignition window and the top opening of the container, further improving combustion efficiency. Additionally, the installation of supports and the paper tube allows for precise positioning of the ignition material, preventing issues like improper charcoal placement from affecting ignition.

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present invention provides a disposable charcoal ignition bucket, comprising a charcoal ignition bucket body made of combustible material; the charcoal ignition bucket body includes a base 10, a bucket body 20, a mounting support 30, and a paper tube 60. The bucket body 20 has openings at both ends. The base 10 is integrally or detachably installed on the bottom opening of the bucket body 20. An ignition window 11 is provided through the base 10. An igniter is fixed inside the bucket body 20, and the igniter and the ignition window 11 are correspondingly arranged. The mounting support 30 is fixed inside the bucket body 20. The paper tube 60 has openings at both ends. The bottom opening of the paper tube 60 is detachably installed on the mounting support 30. An igniter is fixed inside the paper tube 60, and the igniter and the combustible material are correspondingly arranged. With this setup, when in use, place the charcoal bin on the charcoal grid of the oven, then pour the charcoal into the paper tube 60 and the bin body 20. Then, ignite the igniter through the ignition window 11 on the base 10. After the igniter is ignited, the ignition material is ignited again, which in turn ignites the charcoal in the paper tube 60. After the charcoal in the paper tube 60 is ignited, the paper tube 60 is ignited again, and after the paper tube 60 is ignited, the charcoal in the bin body 20 is ignited. Finally, the charcoal will automatically fall onto the charcoal grid. There is no need for auxiliary tools such as gas, alcohol, or igniters. The ignition operation is convenient and eliminates the steps and dangers of pouring charcoal, making it safer to use.

[0026] The charcoal is ignited from the bottom of the charcoal container, and the flame rises upwards after ignition, resulting in better ignition efficiency. Furthermore, with the top opening of the paper tube 60, air convection occurs between the ignition window 11 and the top opening of the paper tube 60 when the charcoal is ignited, further improving the ignition efficiency. Once the paper tube 60 is burning, air convection also occurs between the ignition window 11 and the top opening of the container 20, further improving the combustion efficiency of the charcoal.

[0027] The ignition barrel is composed of a split-structure base 10, a barrel body 20, a mounting support 30, and a paper tube 60. It is easy to assemble when in use and easy to store when not in use. The base 10 has a limiting plate protruding from its outer periphery. When the base 10 and the bottom opening of the barrel body 20 are assembled, the limiting plate and the bottom opening of the barrel body 20 form a limiting position. The mounting support 30 and the paper tube 60 work together to limit the position of the ignition material, preventing poor ignition from affecting the ignition effect.

[0028] Furthermore, the ignition window 11 is located at the center of the base 10, and the igniter is positioned directly above the ignition window 11. This arrangement allows the charcoal to burn evenly from the center outwards after ignition, resulting in better combustion and higher combustion efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the igniter is either igniting wax paper 50 or igniting wire, and the igniter is an igniter block 40 made of a mixture of paraffin wax and wood chips; when the igniter is igniting wax paper 50, the igniting wax paper 50 is placed between the igniter block 40 and the ignition window 11; when the igniter is igniting wire, one end of the igniter wire is connected to the igniter block 40, and the other end passes through the ignition window 11 and extends outside the ignition window 11. With this setup, when the ignition material is ignitable wax paper 50, the ignition device (such as a match, lighter, or lighter) is inserted through the ignition window 11 and brought into contact with the ignitable wax paper 50 to ignite it. The ignited wax paper 50 then quickly ignites the ignition block 40 above it. When the ignition material is ignition wire, the ignition device (such as a match, lighter, or lighter) is brought into contact with one end of the ignition wire to ignite it. The ignition wire then quickly ignites the other end of the ignition block 40. The ignition block 40 is made of a mixture of paraffin wax and sawdust, possessing good combustibility and stable combustion performance. Paraffin wax provides a continuous ignition source, while sawdust acts as a carrier to enhance the ignition effect. The combination of the two quickly produces a stable flame after ignition. Once the ignition block 40 is ignited, it burns stably and continuously, subsequently igniting the surrounding charcoal without the need for additional fuel, alcohol, or other auxiliary ignition materials. It can be ignited quickly and easily in one go.

[0030] Furthermore, the ignition block 40 is suspended and positioned directly above the ignition window 11 by the mounting support 30 and the paper tube 60, and the ignition wax paper 50 is positioned between the mounting support 30 and the ignition window 11. This arrangement facilitates assembly, and the gap between the ignition block 40 and the ignition wax paper 50 results in better ignition performance.

[0031] The charcoal barrel is preferably made of paper material, and the selected paper material has good combustibility and structural stability, and can burn together with the charcoal after being ignited, while also having a certain load-bearing and shaping capacity.

[0032] Furthermore, the ignition block 40 has an ignition opening 41 formed at its center, extending through both the upper and lower ends of the ignition block 40. This design allows for enhanced airflow through the ignition opening 41, accelerating the combustion process of the ignition block 40 and thereby improving the ignition efficiency of the charcoal.

[0033] Furthermore, the two ends of the mounting support 30 abut against the inner walls of both sides of the barrel 20 respectively; the mounting support 30 includes a panel 33, and vertically arranged side plates 34 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the panel 33. Support plates 35 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the side plates 34, and the support plates 35 are respectively connected to the panel 33 in a locking position; a positioning opening 31 is formed at the center of the panel 33, and the bottom opening of the paper tube 60 is fixed in the positioning opening 31. Multiple support blocks 61 for fixing the ignition block 40 are protruding on the inner wall of the paper tube 60. The ignition block 40 is located directly above the positioning opening 31, and the igniting wax paper 50 is located directly below the positioning opening 31. With this configuration, after the mounting support 30 and the paper tube 60 are assembled, the two ends of the mounting support 30 abut against the inner walls of both sides of the tube 20 for limiting their position, preventing displacement of the mounting support 30 from causing changes in the corresponding positions of the ignition block 40, the ignition wax paper 50, and the ignition window 11; wherein, the side plates 34 are used to suspend and position the panel 33 in the air, so that there is a certain gap between the ignition block 40 and the ignition wax paper 50, resulting in a better ignition effect.

[0034] The ignition wax paper 50 is located directly below the positioning port 31. The support 30 provides support and guidance for the ignition wax paper 50 and the ignition block 40. The ignition wax paper 50 is located inside the support 30, which prevents the ignition wax paper 50 from shifting due to contact between the poured charcoal and the ignition wax paper 50. The ignition block 40 is fixed inside the paper tube 60. The ignition block 40 contacts the poured charcoal, resulting in better ignition and preventing the ignition effect from being affected by improper charcoal pouring. Specifically, when pouring charcoal, some charcoal is poured into the paper tube 60 above the ignition block 40. The ignition block 40 and the charcoal are confined in the paper tube 60, and the ignition block 40 will not shift and will remain in contact with the charcoal, ensuring the ignition effect.

[0035] Furthermore, the panel 33 is provided with multiple connecting slots 331, and the two side support plates 35 are respectively provided with connecting blocks 351, which are engaged with the connecting slots 331. This arrangement makes the overall structure of the mounting support 30 more robust and its load-bearing capacity more reliable, and can prevent the installed support 30 from deforming due to contact between the poured-in carbon and the mounting support 30.

[0036] Among them, after the support plates 35 on both sides are engaged with the panel 33, a portion of the support plates 35 on both sides are parallel and spaced below the positioning port 31, which can play a certain supporting role for the ignition block 40, and effectively improve the positioning effect of the ignition block 40 in conjunction with the positioning port 31.

[0037] Furthermore, the positioning port 31 has multiple positioning blocks 32 protruding from its opening, which engage with the bottom opening of the paper tube 60; the side wall of the paper tube 60 has multiple ignition holes 62. This arrangement, using multiple positioning blocks 32 to secure the bottom opening of the paper tube 60, ensures reliable positioning and prevents displacement of the paper tube 60 during charcoal pouring, thus avoiding changes in the corresponding positions of the ignition block 40, the igniting wax paper 50, and the ignition window 11.

[0038] In this process, multiple positioning blocks 32 are folded into shape after being cut through the positioning opening 31. Preferably, the positioning blocks 3 are symmetrical triangular structures; preferably, the positioning opening 31 and the ignition block 40 are square structures.

[0039] Furthermore, the opening of the ignition window 11 is provided with multiple ignition top blocks 12, and the ignition wax paper 50 is positioned on the multiple ignition top blocks 12. This arrangement allows the ignition wax paper 50 to be positioned by the multiple ignition top blocks 12, ensuring a correspondence between the ignition wax paper 50 and the ignition window 11, making ignition more convenient and reliable. Specifically, the ignition wax paper 50 is exposed in the area directly opposite the ignition window 11, thereby improving the success rate and efficiency of ignition and preventing ignition failure or flame deviation.

[0040] In practical applications, multiple ignition top blocks 12 are folded into shape after cutting the ignition window 11. Preferably, the ignition top block 12 has a symmetrical triangular structure.

[0041] Furthermore, the two symmetrical sides of the barrel 20 are foldable barrel surfaces 21, and symmetrical center fold lines are provided on the two foldable barrel surfaces 21; the base 10 is formed with a receiving groove. With this configuration, when not in use, the barrel 20 can be folded and stored in the receiving groove of the base 10 along with the mounting support 30, the ignition block 40, the igniting wax paper 50, and the paper tube 60.

[0042] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. All of these forms are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
