Description

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Aschenbecher mit Entsorgungsvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Bei derartigen Aschenbechern ist es bekannt, die abgebrannte Zigarette (Zigarettenstummel, Zigarrenstummel und dgl.) in einen nach oben geöffneten Aschenbecher einzuwerfen, wo die teilweise noch glimmenden Reste in einem entsprechenden Behälter aufgefangen werden. Problematisch bei diesen bekannten Aschenbechern ist jedoch, daß sie von Zeit zu Zeit entleert werden müssen, und hierfür Arbeitskraft vorhanden sein muß. Weiter ist Nachteil bei den bekannten Aschenbechern, daß die in den Aschenbecher eingeworfene Glut noch zum Weiterbrennen oder Glimmen neigt und es passieren kann, daß der Inhalt des Aschenbechers selbst in Brand gesetzt wird.The present invention relates to an ashtray with a disposal device according to the preamble of claim 1. In such ashtrays, it is known to throw the burned-in cigarette (cigarette butt, cigar butt and the like) into an ashtray which is open at the top, where the partially still smoldering residues in one appropriate containers are collected. The problem with these known ashtrays, however, is that they have to be emptied from time to time and that labor must be available for this. Another disadvantage of the known ashtrays is that the embers thrown into the ashtray still tend to continue burning or smoldering and it can happen that the contents of the ashtray itself are set on fire.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Aschenbecher mit Entsorgungsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß eine Entsorgung (Leerung) des Aschenbechers ohne fremde Hilfe möglich ist, wobei der Aschenbecher betriebssicherer arbeiten soll.The present invention is therefore based on the object of developing an ashtray with a disposal device of the type mentioned in such a way that disposal (emptying) of the ashtray is possible without outside help, the ashtray being intended to operate more reliably.

Zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe ist die Erfindung durch die technische Lehre des Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnet.To achieve the object, the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1.

Wesentliches Merkmal der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, daß der Aschenbecher nun mit einem Zerkleinerer kombiniert ist, welcher automatisch die eingeworfenen Zigaretten- und Zigarrenabfälle zerkleinert und mittels eines Wasserflusses in die Abwasserleitung einer Toilette oder dergleichen spült.An essential feature of the present invention is that the ashtray is now combined with a shredder which automatically shreds the thrown-in cigarette and cigar waste and rinses it into the sewage pipe of a toilet or the like by means of a water flow.

Damit besteht der wesentliche Vorteil, daß eine automatische Entsorgung stattfindet, denn sobald ein Zigarettenrest in den erfindungsgemässen Aschenbecher geworfen wird, wird das Einwerfen dieses Zigarettenrestes von einer Sensoranordnung erkannt, welche eine Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung in Betrieb nimmt. Es wird hierbei bevorzugt, wenn bei Beginn der Zerkleinerung oder nach der Zerkleinerung ein Wasserstrom in die Zerkleinererkammer geführt wird, um die dort evtl. anhaftenden, zerkleinerten Zigarren- und Zigarettenreste über ein daran angeschlossenes Abflußrohr in die Kanalisation abzuleiten.The main advantage is that automatic disposal takes place, because as soon as a cigarette residue is thrown into the ashtray according to the invention, the insertion of this cigarette residue is detected by a sensor arrangement which puts a comminution device into operation. It is preferred in this case if a water flow is conducted into the shredding chamber at the beginning of the shredding or after the shredding in order to discharge the shredded cigar and cigarette residues that may be adhering there via a drain pipe connected to the sewage system.

Derartige Aschenbecher werden also bevorzugt in der Nähe von Waschbecken angeordnet, z.B. in öffentlichen Toiletten, Urinalen oder auch Privathaushalten, wo in der Regel neben einem Waschbecken sowohl ein Druckwasserzulauf als auch ein Ablauf zur Verfügung steht.Such ashtrays are therefore preferably arranged near wash basins, e.g. in public toilets, urinals or private households, where usually there is a pressurized water inlet as well as a drain next to a sink.

Es wird nun in vorteilhafter Weise vermieden, daß sich Zigarren- und Zigarettenreste in diesem Aschenbecher ansammeln, denn sie werden automatisch mit der Inbetriebnahme des Zerkleinerers zerkleinert und dieser Zerkleinerer fördert die zerkleinerten Reste sofort in ein daran angeschlossenes Ablaufrohr, welches mit der Kanalisation verbunden ist.It is now advantageously avoided that cigar and cigarette residues accumulate in this ashtray, because they are automatically shredded when the shredder is put into operation and this shredder conveys the shredded residues immediately into a drain pipe connected to it, which is connected to the sewage system.

Hierbei gibt es nun verschiedene Möglichkeiten, die sämtlich vom Erfindungsgedanken umfasst sind.There are various options here, all of which are encompassed by the inventive concept.

In einer ersten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß der Zerkleinerer unterhalb des Wasserspiegels einer wassergefüllten Kammer sitzt und daß die Zigaretten- und Zigarrenreste auf den Wasserspiegel dieser Kammer eingeworfen werden und danach dann der unter der Wasserlinie liegende Zerkleinerer in Betrieb genommen wird, der somit das Wasser in dieser Kammer zusammen mit den darauf schwimmenden Zigarren- und Zigarettenresten ansaugt, zerkleinert und in das Ablaufrohr fördert.In a first embodiment it is provided that the shredder sits below the water level of a water-filled chamber and that the cigarette and cigar residues are thrown onto the water level of this chamber and then the shredder below the water line is put into operation, which thus brings the water into sucks this chamber together with the cigar and cigarette remains floating on it, crushes it and conveys it into the drain pipe.

In einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Kammer vorerst trocken ist und daß der Zerkleinerer im trockenen Zustand die Zigarren- und Zigarettenreste zerkleinert und daß nach erfolgter Zerkleinerung (z.B. nach Überschreiten einer gewissen Laufzeit) automatisch eine Wasserspülung der Kammer in Tätigkeit gesetzt wird, welche die Kammer durchspült und die zerkleinerten Reste in das Ablaufrohr befördert.In another embodiment of the invention it is provided that the chamber is dry for the time being and that the shredder shreds the cigar and cigarette residues in the dry state and that after the removal Comminution (eg after a certain running time has been exceeded), a water rinse of the chamber is automatically started, which rinses the chamber and conveys the comminuted remnants into the drain pipe.

Als vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung für einen derartigen Zerkleinerer hat sich ein mit hoher Drehzahl laufender Zerkleinerer bewährt, der mit Drehflügeln ausgestattet ist, wie sie in Mixern und anderen Zerkleinerungsvorrichtungen angeordnet ist. Derartige mit hohen Tourenzahlen umlaufende Drehflügel zerkleinern das eingeworfene Gut so stark, daß es dann in ein auch eng kalibriertes Ablaufrohr eingespült werden kann.An advantageous embodiment for such a shredder has proven itself to be a shredder running at high speed, which is equipped with rotating blades, as is arranged in mixers and other shredding devices. Such high-revolving rotary blades crush the thrown-in material so strongly that it can then be flushed into a drain pipe, which is also closely calibrated.

In einer anderen Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung kann es vorgesehen sein, die vorher erwähnten Drehflügel durch andere Zerkleinerungsmechismen zu ersetzen, wie z.B. Pumpflügel oder gegenläufig arbeitende Mahlflügel, Mahlsteine oder dergleichen mehr.In another embodiment of the present invention, it can be provided to replace the aforementioned rotary blades by other comminution mechanisms, such as e.g. Pump blades or counter-rotating grinding blades, grinding stones or the like.

Ebenso wird es bevorzugt, wenn in axialer Verlängerung des oberen Einwurftrichters unten am Gehäuse eine Sackkammer vorhanden ist, in welcher Fremdkörper aufgefangen werden, die oben eingeworfen werden und die nicht Zigarren- oder Zigarettenreste sind. Derartige Fremdkörper können Nägel, Klammern oder dergleichen sein, die andernfalls den Zerkleinerer beschädigen würden. Mit der gegebenen technischen Lehre werden diese Fremdkörper somit am Zerkleinerer vorbei in eine untere Sackkammer fallen und dort aufbewahrt werden, bis sie von Hand entsorgt werden können.It is also preferred if there is a sack chamber in the axial extension of the upper insertion funnel at the bottom of the housing, in which foreign bodies are caught, which are thrown in at the top and which are not cigar or cigarette remains. Such foreign objects can be nails, staples or the like, which would otherwise damage the shredder. With the given technical teaching, these foreign bodies will fall past the shredder into a lower sack chamber and be stored there until they can be disposed of by hand.

In einer Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung kann es vorgesehen sein, den Druckumlauf des Wassers noch mit zusätzlichen Geruchsverbesserern zu kombinieren, z.B. sind im Gehäuse des erfindungsgemässen Aschenbechers geruchsverbessernde, wasserumspülte Tabletten vorhanden, die dann eine entsprechende Geruchsemission im Raum geben, wenn die Wasserspülung des Aschenbechers in Gang gesetzt wird.In a further development of the present invention, it can be provided to combine the pressure circulation of the water with additional odor improvers, for example, in the housing of the ashtray according to the invention, odor-improving, water-washed tablets are present, which then give a corresponding odor emission in the room when the water is flushed out of the ashtray Gear is set.

Ebenso ist es möglich, dem zulaufenden Spülwasser des Aschenbechers in flüssiger Form ein entsprechendes Zusatzmittel beizumischen, welches der Geruchsverbesserung im Raum dient.It is also possible to add a suitable additive to the incoming rinsing water of the ashtray in liquid form, which serves to improve the smell in the room.

Figure 2:
the section rotated by 90 ° in comparison to FIG. 1.

In einem Gehäuse 1 eines Aschenbechers ist ein oberer Einwurftrichter 2 vorhanden, der eine mittlere Öffnung 3 definiert, die in ein Rohr 5 mündet.
Im Bereich des Rohres 5 ist ein Sensor 4 angeordnet, der feststellt, wenn in den Einwurftrichter 2 ein Zigarettenrest, ein Zigarrenrest oder dgl. eingeworfen wird.
In a housing 1 of an ashtray there is an upper funnel 2 which defines a central opening 3 which opens into a pipe 5.
A sensor 4 is arranged in the area of the tube 5, which detects when a cigarette residue, a cigar residue or the like is thrown into the insertion funnel 2.

Das Rohr 5 ist nach unten axial verlängert und bildet dort eine Sackkammer 15, die von unten her durch eine Verschraubung 18 abgedichtetThe tube 5 is axially extended downward and forms one there Bag chamber 15, which is sealed from below by a screw 18

ist. Das Rohr 5 wird in radialer Richtung durch das Gehäuse 9 eines Zerkleinerers 12 geschnitten, welcher eine innere Kammer 14 aufweist, die flüssigkeitsleitend an das Rohr 5 angeschlossen ist.is. The tube 5 is cut in the radial direction through the housing 9 of a shredder 12, which has an inner chamber 14 which is connected to the tube 5 in a liquid-conducting manner.

Das gesamte Gehäuse 1 ist bis zu der angegebenen Markierung (Wasserspiegel 6) mit Wasser gefüllt, so daß der gesamte Zerkleinerer 12 unter der Wasseroberfläche liegt.The entire housing 1 is filled with water up to the specified mark (water level 6), so that the entire shredder 12 is below the water surface.

Der Zerkleinerer 12 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem wasserdichten Gehäuse 9, in dem die vorher erwähnte Kammer 14 angeordnet ist, die mit Wasser gefüllt ist. In der Kammer 14 sind ein oder mehrere Drehflügel 11 über einen Motor 13 drehbar angetrieben.The shredder 12 essentially consists of a watertight housing 9, in which the aforementioned chamber 14 is arranged, which is filled with water. In the chamber 14, one or more rotary blades 11 are rotatably driven by a motor 13.

Radial auswärts an die Kammer 14 mündet der Einlauf für ein Ablaufrohr 16, über das die zerkleinerten Reste mit dem aus der Kammer 14 angesaugten Wasser in Pfeilrichtung 17 in eine Kanalisation abgeleitet werden.Radially outward to the chamber 14, the inlet for an outlet pipe 16 opens, via which the comminuted remnants with the water sucked out of the chamber 14 are discharged into a sewage system in the direction of arrow 17.

Es wird ein ständig gleichbleibender Wasserspiegel 6 im Gehäuse 1 durch einen geregelten Zulauf erreicht, wobei Wasser 10 über ein Magnetventil 8 in ein Zulaufrohr 7 eingespeist wird.A constantly constant water level 6 is achieved in the housing 1 by a regulated inlet, water 10 being fed into an inlet pipe 7 via a solenoid valve 8.

Das Magnetventil 8 wird füllstandsabhängig von der Höhe des Wasserspiegels 6 gesteuert, so daß ständig ein gleichbleibender Wasserspiegel im Gehäuse 1 bleibt.The solenoid valve 8 is controlled depending on the level of the water level 6, so that a constant water level remains in the housing 1.

Sobald nun in den Einwurftrichter 2 ein Zigaretten- oder Zigarrenrest eingeworfen wird, schwimmt dieser Rest auf dem Wasserspiegel 6 im Bereich des Rohres 5.As soon as a cigarette or cigar residue is thrown into the insertion funnel 2, this rest floats on the water level 6 in the area of the tube 5.

Die Sensoranordnung 4 hat das Einwerfen dieses Restes erfasst und nimmt den Motor 13 in Betrieb, der den Drehflügel 11 antreibt. Damit wird das Wasser in der Kammer 14 in Pfeilrichtung 19 aus dem Rohr 5 abgesaugt und der eingeworfene Zigaretten- oder Zigarrenrest gelangt in den Bereich der Drehflügel 11, wo er zerkleinert wird. Radial anschließend an die Kammer 14 ist gemäss Figur 1 der Ablauf eines Ablaufrohres 16 vorhanden, so daß die Drehflügel 11 unter hohem Pumpendruck das Wasser mit den zerkleinerten Resten in das Ablaufrohr 16 fördert.The sensor arrangement 4 has detected the insertion of this remainder and is taking it the motor 13 in operation, which drives the rotary wing 11. The water in the chamber 14 is thus sucked out of the pipe 5 in the direction of the arrow 19 and the cigarette or cigar residue thrown in comes into the area of the rotary blades 11, where it is comminuted. According to FIG. 1, the outlet of a drain pipe 16 is present radially following the chamber 14, so that the rotary vanes 11 convey the water with the comminuted residues into the drain pipe 16 under high pump pressure.

Damit erfolgt eine automatische Entleerung des erfindungsgemässen Aschenbechers, ohne daß es eines Handhabungsaufwandes bedarf.This results in an automatic emptying of the ashtray according to the invention without requiring any handling effort.

Werden Fremdkörper in den Einwurftrichter 2 eingeworfen, die schwerer als Wasser sind, dann fallen diese in den Bereich einer unten angeordneten Sackkamer 15. Nach Öffnen der Verschraubung 18 können dann diese Fremdkörper aus dem Aschenbecher entfernt werden.If foreign bodies that are heavier than water are thrown into the insertion funnel 2, they fall into the area of a bag camera 15 arranged at the bottom. After the screw connection 18 has been opened, these foreign bodies can then be removed from the ashtray.
