Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of intelligent storage technology, and in particular relates to an air-purifying intelligent ash storage device. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, the design of smart ashtrays primarily focuses on improving ease of use and basic hygiene. Common improvements include using infrared or gravity sensors to automatically open and close the lid, reducing manual operation and preventing ash from scattering. Some products integrate small lighting devices, but these still require user intervention or proximity, failing to achieve a fully automated ignition process. Furthermore, ash collection often employs a fixed-depth ash chamber design, requiring periodic manual emptying. Existing products generally lack effective mechanisms for actively collecting, processing, and filtering smoke and harmful gases generated during smoking, relying mainly on passive diffusion or simple ventilation holes, which cannot significantly improve ambient air quality.
[0003] However, existing smart ashtrays still have significant shortcomings in terms of functional integration and automation. They generally cannot achieve fully automated operation without user intervention, automatically completing the entire process of opening the lid, lighting, collecting ash, and treating smoke upon sensing a cigarette. Specifically: the automation level of the lid opening and closing is limited, failing to accurately respond to cigarette handling; the lighting process still requires manual assistance, lacking a truly fully automatic lighting experience; the ashtray compartment is mostly a fixed structure, lacking the function of automatically adjusting its height based on the amount of ash or usage status, failing to optimize space or provide cleaning reminders; most importantly, current technology lacks an active capture and efficient purification system for the continuously generated smoke during smoking, resulting in the inability to effectively remove harmful particles and odors, failing to meet the requirements for indoor air cleanliness. These deficiencies limit the improvement of user experience and the comprehensiveness of product functions. Utility Model Content

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The following description is based on the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-3 The described embodiments are exemplary and intended to explain embodiments of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0029] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. 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.
[0031] 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.
[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, an air-purifying intelligent ash collection device is provided, including a housing 100, a lifting mechanism 200, a filtering mechanism 500, and an ash bin 300. The housing 100 is provided with an open cavity 400; the lifting mechanism 200 is disposed on the bottom wall of the open cavity 400; the ash bin 300 is disposed at the output end of the lifting mechanism 200 and is used to collect ash; the filtering mechanism 500 is disposed between the ash bin 300 and the output end of the lifting mechanism 200 and is used to collect and filter the flue gas in the ash bin 300.
[0033] By incorporating a housing 100 with an open cavity 400, a lifting mechanism 200 located on the bottom wall of the cavity, an ashtray 300 that is lifted and lowered by the lifting mechanism 200, and a filter mechanism 500 located between the ashtray 300 and the output end of the lifting mechanism 200, the shortcomings of the prior art are effectively addressed. This allows the ashtray 300 to automatically adjust its height according to usage needs or the amount of ash accumulated, optimizing space utilization and facilitating cleaning. At the same time, the filter mechanism 500 can actively collect the smoke generated in the ashtray 300 and filter and purify it, significantly reducing the emission of harmful particles and odors into the surrounding environment. Thus, while improving ease of use and automation, it effectively improves local air quality, providing users with a cleaner and smarter smoking experience.
[0034] like Figures 1-3As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the filtration mechanism 500 includes a connecting box 510, a filtering unit 520, and a driving unit 530. The connecting box 510 is disposed at one end of the ash chamber 300, and the other end of the connecting box 510 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the lifting mechanism 200. The filtering unit 520 is disposed inside the connecting box 510, and the driving unit 530 is disposed inside the connecting box 510. Air holes 542 are provided at the opposite ends of the connecting box 510 and the housing 100, allowing the smoke in the ash chamber 300 to enter the connecting box 510 through the air holes 542 and pass sequentially through the filtering unit 520 and the driving unit 530. This structure allows the smoke in the ash chamber 300 to be actively drawn into the connecting box 510, forced to flow through the filtering unit 520 for purification, and guided by the driving unit 530, effectively improving the efficiency and reliability of smoke collection and purification.
[0035] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, a mounting base 540 is provided at the middle position of the connecting box 510, and a mounting cavity 541 is provided inside the mounting base 540. The filter unit 520 is disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 541, and the drive unit 530 is disposed inside the mounting cavity 541. The drive unit 530 is a drive fan. The input end of the drive fan is aligned with the filter unit 520, and the air hole 542 is aligned with the mounting base 540. The flue gas from the ash chamber 300 enters the mounting cavity 541 through the air hole 542 and then passes through the filter unit 520 and the drive unit 530 in sequence. When the driving fan is running, a negative pressure is generated in the mounting cavity 541, which draws the flue gas in the ash bin 300 into the mounting cavity 541 through the air hole 542. The flue gas first flows through and passes through the filter unit 520, where particulate matter and odors are adsorbed and filtered. Then, it is drawn in and pushed by the driving fan, realizing the purification process of forced flue gas through the filter element 522, ensuring the filtration effect.
[0036] like Figures 1-3As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the mounting cavity 541 is provided with an opening facing away from the air hole 542. The output end of the drive unit 530 is aligned with the opening of the mounting cavity 541. After the flue gas from the ash bin 300 enters the mounting cavity 541 through the air hole 542, it is filtered by the filter unit 520 and driven by the drive unit 530, and then exits the connecting box through the opening of the mounting cavity 541. The clean air purified by the filter unit 520 is discharged from the connecting box 510 through the opening of the mounting cavity 541 facing away from the air hole 542 under the drive of the drive fan, forming a directional airflow path to prevent the purified air from flowing back or mixing with untreated flue gas, ensuring that the purified air is effectively guided and discharged to the predetermined area.
[0037] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the connecting box 510 is arranged in a ring shape, the mounting base 540 is formed in the inner ring of the connecting box 510, the mounting base 540 is arranged in a ring shape, the mounting cavity 541 is formed through the inner ring of the mounting base 540, the filter unit 520 includes a connecting base 521 and a filter element 522, the connecting base 521 overlaps the mounting cavity 541 near the opening of the ash chamber 300, the filter element 522 is disposed on the mounting base 540, the air hole 542 is formed on the connecting base 521, and the drive unit 530 is disposed at the end of the mounting cavity 541 away from the ash chamber 300 and located on the other side of the connecting base 521. The annular connecting box 510 and mounting base 540 have a compact structure that makes full use of space. The flue gas enters the mounting cavity 541 through the air hole 542 on the connecting base 521, and first comes into contact with and flows through the filter element 522 located on the mounting base 540 for filtration. The driving fan is located downstream of the filter element 522, drawing the flue gas through the filter element 522 and pushing the clean air out. The annular design is conducive to the uniform distribution of airflow and the integrated arrangement of components.
[0038] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the recess of the connecting seat 521 facing away from the ash chamber 300 forms a limiting groove 523 for accommodating the filter element 522, and the air hole 542 is formed on the bottom wall of the limiting groove 523. The limiting groove 523 structure facilitates the positioning, installation, and replacement of the filter element 522, ensuring that the filter element 522 is stably placed in the connecting seat 521. The air hole 542 is located on the bottom wall of the limiting groove 523, allowing the incoming flue gas to be evenly dispersed and pass through the entire filtration surface of the filter element 522, thereby improving the utilization rate and filtration effect of the filter element 522.
[0039] like Figures 1-3As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the filter element 522 is a non-woven fabric or a sponge. Using non-woven fabric or sponge as the material of the filter element 522 is low-cost and readily available, and can effectively adsorb tar particles and some odor substances in the flue gas. At the same time, it is convenient for users to replace it regularly according to usage to maintain the filtration effect.
[0040] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, a gap is provided between the connecting box 510 and the bottom wall of the open cavity 400. The filtered gas output by the drive unit 530 moves from the opening of the mounting cavity 541 to the outside of the connecting box and to the bottom wall of the open cavity 400. The purified gas discharged from the opening of the mounting cavity 541 flows downward to the bottom area of the open cavity 400 through the gap between the connecting box 510 and the bottom wall of the housing 100. This design helps to guide relatively clean air to the area below the equipment or a specific area, preventing the purified gas from immediately mixing with untreated flue gas above the ashtray, thus promoting local air renewal to a certain extent.
[0041] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the intelligent ashtray further includes an automatic flip cover 600, an automatic igniter 700, and a rotating base 800. The automatic flip cover 600 is disposed at the opening edge of the open cavity 400, the automatic igniter 700 is disposed at the end of the automatic flip cover 600 facing the open cavity 400, and the housing 100 is disposed at the rotating end of the rotating base 800. The automatic flip cover 600 can automatically open when the user approaches or needs it, making it convenient to take out and put in cigarettes. The automatic igniter 700 is integrated into the flip cover, making it easy to automatically light cigarettes after they are put in. The rotating base 800 supports the rotation of the entire housing 100, allowing the user to use the device from different angles, significantly improving the convenience and intelligent experience of use.
[0042] like Figures 1-3As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, an identification mechanism 900 is provided at the edge of the opening cavity 400 away from the rotating part of the automatic flip cover 600. The identification mechanism 900 is used to monitor the approach of objects. A control center 1000, such as a digital control integrated circuit, is also provided inside the housing 100. The control center 1000 is electrically connected to the automatic flip cover 600, the automatic igniter 700, the rotating base 800, and the identification mechanism 900. When the identification mechanism 900 (such as an infrared sensor) detects the user's hand or a cigarette approaching, it transmits a signal to the control center 1000. The control center 1000 then coordinates the opening of the automatic flip cover 600, the operation of the automatic igniter 700, and can respond to adjustment commands from the rotating base 800, realizing an automated response chain from sensing to action (opening the cover, ignition), eliminating the need for manual operation by the user and greatly improving the convenience and intelligence of use.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
