FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a vehicle ashtray according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a locking device for a vehicle ashtray according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing a locking device in a vehicle ashtray of FIG.

A vehicle ashtray 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an ashtray body 110 having an upper opened space for containing a cigarette or a butt and a cover 120 for opening and closing a space of the ashtray body 110 And a locking device 200 for locking the cover 120 to the ashtray body 110.

Here, the ashtray body 110 is formed as a separate body so as to be inserted into a pocket provided inside the vehicle, for example, a cup holder, and can be taken out and carried after use.

That is, it is preferable that the ashtray body 110 is formed into a cylindrical shape so that the ashtray body 110 can easily fit into the cup holder and be separated or separated.

The cover 120 covers the upper part of the space of the ashtray body 110 to prevent the ashtray 110 contained in the space from being dropped to the outside. The cover 120 is hinged to one side of the upper portion of the ashtray body 110, The ashtray body 110, and the like.

One side of the cover 120 and one side of the upper part of the ashtray body 110 are respectively coupled by a hinge pin and an elastic member is provided between the cover 120 and the ashtray body 110 so that the cover 120 covers the ashtray body 110 As shown in Fig. Here, the elastic member is configured such that one end thereof is supported by the cover 120 while the other end thereof is coupled to the hinge pin, and the other end is supported by the ashtray body 110 to generate an elastic force when the cover 120 is closed.

That is, when the cover 120 is compressed, an elastic force is generated when the cover 120 is closed. When the cover 120 is unlocked, an elastic force acts to open the cover 120 automatically.

As shown in the figure, a locking device 200 for a vehicle ashtray according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a locking protrusion 210 protruding from one side of an opening of an ashtray body 110, An engaging member 220 coupled to the cover 120 in a state in which the cover 120 is engaged and locked by the engaging projection 210 to lock the cover 120, And a moving member 230 movably coupled to the pressing member 240 horizontally when the pressing member 240 is vertically moved while being hinged to the engaging member 220. [

First, the latching protrusion 210 is protruded from the opened upper edge of the ashtray body 110, and is formed on the opposite side of the hinge portion where the cover 120 is hinged. The latching protrusion 210 is protruded toward the hinge portion.

The upper end of the latching member 220 is hinged to the end of the moving member 230 by the first pin member 201 and the second pin member 202 is fixed to the coupling bracket 250 by being spaced downward from the upper end by a predetermined distance. And an elongated hole 221 is formed at a portion hinged to the engaging bracket 250 in the vertical direction. The locking member 220 has a locking protrusion 222 protruding from the locking protrusion 210 toward the locking protrusion 210 so that the locking protrusion 222 is caught by the bottom of the locking protrusion 210 when the cover 120 is closed, .

The latching member 220 is hinged to the coupling bracket 250 by the second pin member 202 and the upper end of the latching member 220 is hinged to the shifting member 230 so that the shifting member 230 is hinge- The hooking jaw 222 is hooked on or released from the hooking protrusion 210 when the upper end part is reciprocally moved toward the hooking protrusion 210 or the shifting member 230. [

That is, when the movable member 230 is moved forward and the upper end of the engaging member 220 is pushed toward the engaging projection 210, the engaging member 220 is rotated about the portion where the elongate hole 221 is formed, The jaw 222 is moved in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the moving member 230 and the engagement is released at the locking projection 210. [

The movable member 230 is hinged to the upper end of the engaging member 220 and the rear portion of the moving member 230 is movably coupled to the engaging bracket 250 and the pushing member 240 described later by the third pin member 203. [ do.

The moving member 230 is hinged to the upper end of the engaging member 220 and moves toward the engaging protrusion 210 from the pressing member 240 when moving in the vertical direction of the pressing member 240, To the locking protrusion 210 side.

The pushing member 240 is vertically movably coupled to the cover 120 by the engaging bracket 250 and is moved downward by the pushing operation of the user to move the moving member 230 toward the locking protrusion 210. A third pin member 203 is coupled to the push member 240 so that the movable member 230 to which the third pin member 203 is coupled can be moved forward when the user vertically moves up and down. An inclined long hole 241 to be moved is formed. The inclined elongated holes 241 are inclined downward toward the hinged side of the cover 120 so that the movable member 230 is movably coupled to the elongated holes 241 when the pressing member 240 is lowered. The third pin member 203 of the second pin member 203 is moved forward.

The pressing member 240 further includes an elastic member 260 provided on a coupling bracket 250 described later in order to return to a lowered state by a user's pressing operation.

The engaging bracket 250 is formed as a separate member and is fixed to the cover 120 by a fastening member and serves to engage the pushing member 240 and the engaging member 220 with the cover 120.

The engaging bracket 250 is formed with a plate-shaped fixing portion 251 to be coupled to the cover 120. The elastic member 260 is seated on the fixing portion 251 while guiding the vertical movement of the pressing member 240 The receiving groove 252 is formed.

The operation of the ashtray for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention having the above-described structure will be briefly described.

The driver who is smoking smokes the ashtray 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention when he / she is going to drive using the vehicle.

Then, temporarily fasten the ashtray 100 to the pocket near the driver's seat. That is, the ashtray 100 is prevented from falling to the floor due to the flow of the vehicle while the vehicle is running, or the ashtray 100 from being lifted up. It is preferable that the driver is coupled to a cup holder provided in an arm rest or a center fascia which is a position where a hand can easily go when driving.

Thereafter, in order for the driver to burn the cigarette and discard the cigarette or the butt, the cover 120 of the ashtray 100 must first be opened to open the space of the ashtray body 110.

This will be described in more detail as follows.

First, the locking state of the cover in which the locking protrusion 222 is engaged with the locking protrusion 210 is such that the first pin member 201 inserted into the locking hole 221 of the locking member 220 is inserted into the lower portion of the long hole 221 It is located.

In this state, the user presses the upper part of the pushing member 240 with a finger. Then, the pressing member 240 moves downward, and an elastic force is generated in the elastic member 260 that elastically supports the pressing member 240.

At this time, the moving member 230, which is horizontally movably coupled to the pushing member 240, moves toward the locking protrusion 210. The upper end of the latching member 220 hinged to the pressing member 240 is moved toward the latching protrusion 210 such as the pressing member 240.

The engaging member 220 is pivoted on the basis of the elongated hole 221 formed in the intermediate portion of the engaging member 220. The engaging member 220 is inserted through the elongated hole 221 and the first pin member 201, As shown in FIG. At this time, the locking protrusion 222 of the locking member 220 is locked with the locking protrusion 210, and the locking of the cover 120 is released while the locking is released. At this time, the cover 120 is rotated by the elastic member provided at the hinge portion and is opened.

The ashtray for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention having the above structure can prevent the vehicle from becoming dirty due to the use of the ashtray because the occupant mounts the vehicle only when the vehicle is running.

Further, the cover of the ashtray can be opened only by a pressing operation of the driver, and the use thereof is very convenient.
