JP3083072U - Ashtray with smoke suppression function using rollers - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] Completely extinguish the fire completely inside the ashtray without using water in order to prevent unpleasant smoke and odor from being generated around the ashtray of unfired cigarettes from inside the ashtray This solves the environmental problems caused by the wastewater and facilitates the handling of the butts treatment. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] In a floor-standing self-supporting ashtray, a compression section composed of two rollers is provided in two upper and lower stages. Upper roller 4
Is grooved to prevent the butts from slipping on the rollers, and the lower roller 5 is completely grooved without any grooves. Compressing and crushing the butts between the respective rollers extinguishes the occasional unfired butts. The gap between the rollers is compressed effectively by making the lower part slightly smaller than the upper part. As a result, the fire extinguishing of the butts continuously without using water is environmentally friendly, and the handling of the butts is made easier.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Prior Art] Conventionally, many methods have been devised for automatically extinguishing a cigarette butt in order to prevent unpleasant smoke and odor generated from inside an ashtray. Roughly speaking, there are a method of crushing with a roller or a belt, a method of using water, and a method of sealing the butts storage section to make it anaerobic.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The method of sealing the butts storage section to make it anoxic state requires intermittent operation mechanically, so that continuous processing cannot be performed and it takes time. Although the method using water is reliable, not only does it take time to handle butts, but the wastewater has the problem of becoming a source of water pollution. The method of crushing with a belt has a problem in cost and durability when using a noncombustible steel belt. Roller-based methods have been devised in which the compression section has only one stage.However, with a roller without protrusions such as grooves, cylindrical tobacco slips on the roller and is not pushed in. There is uncertainty in fire extinguishing due to the large gap.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-described problems, a floor-mounted self-supporting ashtray is provided with two upper and lower compression parts including a grooved roller on the upper side and a grooveless roller on the lower side. In order to extinguish the fire, the butts falling from the inlet were compressed and crushed in two stages. The butts are put in one place so that the butts are put one by one to prevent overload, and the chute is made into a pipe shape and dropped vertically so that the contact between the roller and the butts is dropped. Try to keep it as low as possible. The gap between the rollers was made slightly narrower on the lower side than on the upper side to enhance the compression effect. A scraper serving also as a chute is provided between the upper and lower rollers. Referring to the drawings, the structure is such that an ashtray 2 is provided above a body cover 1 and a chute 3 is provided below the ashtray. An upper roller 4, a lower roller 5, a driving device 6 for driving the upper roller 4, a conductive portion 7 for the upper roller 4, a conductive portion 8 for the lower roller 5, an upper scraper 9, a lower scraper 10, inside the main body cover 1, There are a sensor 11, a butt storage box 12, and a control panel 13. The ashtray 2 has a single hole having a size substantially the same as the diameter of the cigarette as a butt inlet, and the chute 3 has a hole for a sensor beam for detecting that the butt has been inserted. The butts falling from the inlet of the ashtray 2 are guided by the chute 3 and fall on the upper roller 4. At this time, the upper roller 4 and the lower roller 5 are operating by the sensor detection. After being compressed by the upper roller 4, it falls on the lower roller 5, and is crushed again by the lower roller 5 to completely extinguish the fire and fall into the butt storage box 12.

[Effect of the Invention] The butts are pushed in by the upper grooved rollers 4 and are again compressed by the lower rollers 5 to completely extinguish the fire. In addition, the butts are compressed so that the cross-sectional shape changes from a circular shape to a slightly flat elliptical shape, so that a large amount of butts can be stored in the butt storage box 12. Also, since water is not used, the disposal of the butts becomes easy.

3. The inlet for the cigarette butt is made at one place of the same size as the diameter of the cigarette so as to insert the cigarettes one by one to prevent overload, and the chute is formed in a pipe shape so that it can be dropped in the vertical direction. An ashtray with a smoke-eliminating function that minimizes the contact between the roller and the butts to increase the compression effect. ────────────────────────────────────────────────── ───
