Description

Ashtray's Foreign Material Suction Device

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to ashtrays for automobiles, and more particularly, to a foreign matter suction device of an ashtray.

1 is a view showing a general layout layout of the automobile.

In general, the instrument panel (Instrument Panel) of the vehicle is equipped with an astray 10 as shown in Figure 1 so that the rider can shake the tobacco material when smoking. In addition, depending on the vehicle model, the ashtray is mounted at the rear of the console assembly and at the lower side of the rear seat door so as to remove the cigarette material during the smoking of the rear seat passenger.

The seatlay 10 mounted as described above opens the seatlay 10 when the driver or another passenger smokes in the vehicle and then shakes the tobacco material in the seatlay 10. In this case, when a normal rider or driver smokes, most people open a window and smoke. Because smoking in the car is because the cigarette smoke in the car full of obstructions to drive, so to open the window to discharge the smoke outside.

While smoking in the vehicle, ashes or ashes such as cigarette butts are put into the ashtray 10, and the tobacco material is blown into the vehicle by the inflow of external air due to the opening of the window.

If the smoking material is shaken by the ashtray 10 even when the smoking is not performed while the window is not opened, a substance having a light specific gravity is suspended in the air and is blown into the vehicle, thereby contaminating the air in the vehicle.

In the past, when the driver or the rider inputs cigarette material, cigarette butts or other dirt into the ashtray, the cigarette material is blown into the vehicle due to the inflow of external air due to the opening of the window, so that foreign materials such as cigarette material are attached to the driver's or passenger's clothes. And there is a problem that can not maintain the cleanliness of the vehicle.

In addition, there is another problem that the cigarette material is blown in the car, which adversely affects the breathing of the driver or the passenger, resulting in a great inconvenience in driving.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems according to the prior art, the object of the present invention is to automatically put tobacco material, cigarette butts or other dirt in the ashtray when the driver or rider It is to provide a foreign material suction device of the Ashetray that can discharge dust by dirt.

In order to achieve the above object, a feature of the apparatus for absorbing a foreign substance of an ashtray according to the present invention is an ashelay, an ashtray cover, and a dashboard provided with a dashboard, wherein the upper portion of the ashtray and the upper portion of the ashtray cover are switched on. A switching unit attached to each of the contacts and switched on / off according to the opening or opening of the astray; A power supply unit supplying power as the switching unit is turned on; A motor driven according to the power supplied from the power supply unit; A blowing fan which is driven by driving of the motor and sucks foreign substances existing in the astray; A suction pipe connected to the dashboard and the ashtray to discharge foreign substances existing in the ashtray according to the suction driving of the blowing fan to the outside of the dashboard; It is mounted to the rear panel of the ashtray is configured to filter to pass only the dust or tobacco material of the foreign matter in accordance with the operation of the blowing fan.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings an embodiment of the foreign matter suction device and method of the ashtray according to the present invention will be described.

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the foreign matter suction device of the ashtray according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a perspective view showing in detail the astray laid with a filter shown in FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the rear panel of the ashtray 10 is equipped with a filter 90 to filter only tobacco and dust, and the top and the ashtray of the rear panel of the ashtray 10. The switching elements (contacts) 30 are attached to the cover ends of each.

In addition, the suction pipe 20 is connected to the cover of the ashtray 10 so that the tobacco material and the dust sucked through the dash board are discharged, and the tobacco material or the dust is sucked into the suction pipe 20. Blowing fan 40 is mounted to be discharged through 20). Then, a motor 50 for driving the blowing fan 40 is connected to the blowing fan 40.

Here, the switching device 30 is configured to switch as the astray 10 opens.

The operation of the foreign matter suction device of the astray 10 having such a structure will be described with reference to the circuit configuration shown in FIG. 4 and FIGS. 2 and 3.

Figure 4 is a view showing the circuit configuration of the foreign matter suction apparatus of the ashtray according to the present invention.

First, when the driver or the rider opens the seatlay 10 for smoking in the vehicle, the switching contact 31 attached to the cover of the seatlay 10 and the other switching contact attached to the upper end of the seatlay 10 are provided. 32 is connected to the switching unit 30 is turned on.

That is, the switching unit 30 is turned on when the astray 10 is opened and turned off when the astray 10 is closed.

As the switching unit 30 is turned on, power supplied from the battery 80 is supplied to the relay 70, and the coil of the relay 70 is excited to switch on. Therefore, the power supplied from the battery 80 is supplied to the motor 50 to drive the motor 50.

As the motor 50 is driven, the blower fan 40 mounted in the suction pipe 20 is operated so that large objects such as cigarette butts in the astray 10 are attached to the rear panel of the astray 10. Filtered by 90 and only the tobacco or dust is to be discharged through the suction pipe (20). Here, large substances such as cigarette butts are filtered out by the filter 90 attached to the rear panel of the ashtray 10.

At this time, when the driver or the rider completes the smoking and closes the ashed ray 10, the switching contacts 31 and 32 are short-circuited and the switching unit 30 is turned off. The relay 70 is also turned off by stopping the power supplied from the 80 to stop the driving of the motor 50.

Therefore, as the driving of the motor 50 is stopped, the driving of the blower fan 40 is also stopped, and the suction operation of the tobacco material or dust is stopped.

The operation of the foreign substance suction device of the astray 10 as described above with reference to Figure 5 will be briefly described.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a foreign matter suction operation of the ashtray according to the present invention.

First, it is determined whether the driver lay 10 is opened by the driver or the passenger (S101). As a result of determination, if the astray 10 is opened, the switching unit 30 is turned on due to the connection of the astray 10 and the switching contacts 31 and 32 attached to the cover of the astray 10 (S102).

When the switching unit 30 is turned on, the relay 70 is turned on by the power supplied from the battery 80, and as the relay 70 is turned on, power is supplied to the motor 50 to drive the motor 50. (S103).

When the motor 50 is driven, the blower fan 40 attached to the motor 50 is operated so that foreign substances such as tobacco or dust existing in the astray 10 are discharged to the outside through the suction pipe 20 ( S105).

As described above, it is determined whether the driver finishes smoking and closes the astray 10 while foreign substances existing in the astray 10 are discharged to the outside through the suction pipe 20. That is, it is determined whether the switching unit 30 is turned off due to the closing of the astray 10 (S106).

At this time, if the astray 10 is continuously opened, the above operation is repeated, and if the astray 10 is closed and the switching unit 30 is turned off, the motor 50 and the blower fan 40 The driving is stopped to stop the suction operation (S107).

As described above, the foreign matter suction apparatus and method of the ashtray according to the present invention are equipped with a motor, a blowing fan, and a suction pipe in the existing ashtray to drive the motor and the blowing fan in accordance with the opening of the ashtray to exist in the ashtray. By discharging foreign substances (tobacco or dust) to the outside, there is an advantage that can maintain a comfortable indoor environment even when smoking.
