Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Cigarette smoke in an ashtray includes the smoke emitted when a lit cigarette is placed on the rim of the ashtray, the smoke emitted from a lit cigarette in the ashtray, the smoke emitted from the mouth, and the smoke emitted when the cigarette is held in the hand. Cigarette smoke causes significant discomfort to non-smokers, causes cancer, and contaminates walls.

The present invention aims to prevent these cigarette smoke hazards and create a clean environment by providing a sensor switch that detects cigarettes placed on the top of the ashtray, and using the switch to start a fan, The gist of this invention is an airflow ashtray characterized by forming a smoke removal air flow path substantially orthogonal to either the side surface or the bottom surface.

To describe an embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 1 and 2 show a case 2 in which an ash tray 1 of an ashtray is fitted, a fan 3 rotated by a motor M is provided, and an airflow 4 generated by this fan is transferred to the ash tray. 1
This is an embodiment of the present invention in which the smoke 7 of the cigarette 6 is blown out from the gap 5 between the case 2 and the case 2, and the smoke 7 of the cigarette 6 escapes upward together with the airflow 4.

Reference numeral 8 designates a sensor switch based on capacitance, and although this is a known technology and will not be described in detail, when a cigarette is placed on the switch 8, a motor M is activated and the fan 3 is rotated.

In Fig. 3, a heater 11 is installed below the ash tray 10 in a vertically long case 9, and air enters through the hole 12 at the bottom of the case 9, causing the heater 1 to heat up.
1, it rises between the case and the ash pan due to the chimney effect, and rises upward from the gap 13 at the top of the ash pan 10 as an airflow 14, which is attracted by cigarette smoke in the ash tray and surrounding smoke. This is an example of the present invention in which the

In Fig. 4, a small hole 16 is provided at the bottom of the ash receiver 15, and the ignited cigarette that falls into the ash receiver is combusted by the air that enters through the small hole 16, and the hot air flow 17 flows into the vertically long ash receiver 15. This is an embodiment of the present invention in which smoke rises due to the chimney effect and smoke near the ashtray is also attracted and removed.

FIG. 5 shows an ash tray 21 with an in-shaft motor M centrifugal cuff 19 provided at the bottom of the ashtray case 18 and an ash tray 21 having a hole 20 thereon.
A filter 22 is placed on top of the filter 22, and the fan 19 is rotated to suck in the smoke from the cigarette 6 through the filter 22, and the clean air is discharged horizontally from the lower exhaust port 23 by centrifugal force. This is an example.

The filter 22 may be inserted below the ash tray 21 and above the motor fan 19.

A sensor switch 26 is provided on the cigarette holder 25 to sense the weight of the cigarette 6 and start the motor M.

When 10 seconds have elapsed since the cigarette 6 was removed, the motor M is automatically stopped by the timer relay.

Since the timer relay is a known technology, it will not be described in detail.

Figures 6 and 7 show an ashtray, a fan 28 rotated by a motor M is installed in the ashtray, a manual push switch 29 is used to start the motor M to suck in cigarette smoke, and a filter 30 is installed on the side wall of the ashtray for exhaust air. This is an embodiment of the present invention in which discharge 32 is performed from an opening 31.

33 is a battery for the power source of the motor M.

In FIG. 8, small holes 36 and 37 are provided in the ash pan 34 of the ashtray and the bottom of the case 35, respectively, and an axial fan 38 rotated by a motor M is provided inside the case, and smoke from cigarettes 6 is transferred to the fan 3.
This is an embodiment of the present invention in which the ash is cleaned and sucked through an activated carbon filter 39 located below the ash receiver 34 by 8, and is blown 40 downward through a small hole 37.

A power cord 41 to the motor M passes through the support 42 of the ashtray and is connected to a plug 44 via a switch 43.

45 is a sensor switch using capacitance, which starts the motor M by sensing a cigarette placed on the sensor switch.

9 and 10 also show embodiments of the present invention, in which the bottom of the ash tray 46 is formed of a heat-resistant ceramic filter 47, and an axial fan 48 rotated by a motor M is provided in the case 49 below. , the smoke from the cigarette 6 is sucked through the filter 47 and released 50 downward.

The side surface of the case 49 of the ashtray is covered with an adhesive sheet 5, which is a foamed polyurethane sheet 51 with pressure-sensitive adhesive layers 52 on both sides.
3, it is attached to a wall surface etc. 54 by adhesion.

33 is a battery for powering the motor M, and 29 is a manual push switch.

11 and 12 also show an embodiment of the present invention, in which air is blown out from a hole 56 on one side of the ash pan by an axial ducted fan 57 rotated by a motor M, and air is blown out from a hole on the other side of the ash pan. An ashtray discharges air from the section 58 through a filter 59, and 60 accelerates the flow velocity with a duct, generates a horizontal blowout airflow 61 in the ash receiver 55, attracts cigarette smoke into it, and causes it to be inhaled. It passes through the filter 59 and is discharged laterally.

In FIG. 13, a hole 63 is provided on the side of the ash receiver 62, and a filter 64 and an axial ducted fan 57 rotated by a motor M are provided outside of the hole 63, and cigarette smoke is sucked into the hole 63 by a suction airflow 65 into the filter 64. This is an embodiment of the present invention in which the air is cleaned by a ducted fan, and is accelerated and discharged by a ducted fan.

In FIG. 14, a hole 67 is provided on one side of the ash receiver 66, and a filter 68 and a centrifugal cuffan 69 rotated by a motor M are provided outside the hole 67, and cigarette smoke is removed from the hole 67 and filter 68.
This is an embodiment of the present invention in which the liquid is suction filtered through the filter and discharged upward.

Water 70 can be poured into the bottom of the ash tray 66 to extinguish the cigarette.

FIG. 15 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which an axial flow ducted fan 72 rotated by a motor M is provided above the ash receiver 71, an activated carbon filter 73 is provided therein, and a battery chamber 74 and a switch are provided at the top of the motor M. The ashtray is equipped with an ashtray 75, and the cigarette is inserted from the lower side as shown by the arrow 76, and the inhalation airflow 77
The cigarette smoke is sucked up and blown up by the filter 7.
In step 3, the cigarette is blown off and released upward, so not only the cigarette smoke in the ashtray but also the smoke blown from the mouth is blown upward.

Filter 30 in FIG. 6, filter 64 in FIG.
An aromatic material is placed next to the outside of the filter 68 in FIG. 4 and the filter 73 in FIG. 15 to emit aroma at the same time as smoke is inhaled.

It absorbs cigarette smoke inside a car and emits a fragrance, emitting a fragrance inside the car even when there is no cigarette smoke.

In addition to the embodiments described above, various means for generating suction or blow-out air currents and various ashtrays using the same are all included in the present invention.

According to the present invention, cigarette smoke in the ashtray and its surroundings is removed by inhaled or blown airflow, making it clean and emitting a fragrance, thereby eliminating cigarette smoke damage and preventing the occurrence of lung cancer. This is an epoch-making invention that allows you to do even more.
