Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a candle including a fuel supply part, and more particularly, to a candle including a structure that can continuously supply fuel to a combustion space, can increase the appearance, and can increase the fragrance effect. Background Art

[0002] Generally speaking, candles were used for lighting in the past, and have been widely used to create atmosphere or in religious circles in recent years. They usually have the shape of paraffin solidified into a solid stick with a wax wick buried inside.

[0003] Such candles cannot be used again because the heat generated by the burning of the wax wick embedded inside the candle causes the wax to melt into wax droplets, thereby releasing heat and light. The dripping wax droplets will make the surrounding area dirty and messy, thus posing a fire hazard.

[0004] Therefore, in recent years, a paraffin candle has been proposed, which can be reused by using liquid paraffin, and greatly reduces the risk of fire while keeping the surrounding clean. That is, Utility Model Grant No. 20-0210010 is one example. Figure 1 "A" is a schematic longitudinal sectional view showing a conventional paraffin candle, and "B" is a schematic longitudinal sectional view showing a candle after use.

[0005] First, referring to "A", a traditional candle includes: a shell 2, which is cup-shaped; paraffin 4, which is filled inside; a float 8, which can float on the paraffin 4, and inside the float 8 there is a wax wick 6 that contacts the paraffin 4 and absorbs molten water to make it burn.

[0006] The conventional candle constructed in this way starts to burn when the wick 6 is first ignited, and the wick 6 continuously absorbs the paraffin 4 and releases heat and light while burning. At this time, the float 8 burns inside the cup-shaped shell 2, so it is less affected by the external wind, so that it can burn stably, and the paraffin 4 will not overflow, and the surrounding environment will inevitably be cleaner.

[0007] However, as shown in “B”, when the paraffin 4 filled in the shell 2 starts to burn, the float 8 floating on the paraffin 4 gradually decreases along with the liquid level of the paraffin 4, and after a certain period of time, the bottom surface of the shell 2 contacts the lower surface of the float 8, and the wax core 6 disposed inside the float 8 bends to either side. However, this candle has the following disadvantages: in order to reuse the candle, the user needs to replace the wax core 6 with a new one or re-expand the bent wax core 6 after taking the float 8 out of the shell 2 before it can be used again.

[0008] Therefore, a technology is needed that can solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention
