BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of Example 1 of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] Combined with attachment Figure 1 , an electronic candle wick used to replace traditional candles. It can simulate the light of traditional candles while avoiding the risks of traditional candles.
[0023] It includes a main structure 4, which is the main installation structure. The main structure 4 is preferably made of plastic material. The main structure 4 is made of opaque material and is used to converge light at the light-emitting position.
[0024] In other embodiments, the main structure 4 may also be made of other materials, such as fluorescent or light-leaking materials, to enable the main structure 4 to emit light, thereby being more beautiful and having a sense of design.
[0025] The outer surface of the main structure 4 can also be provided with wood grain for decoration, so that the main structure 4 looks more like a piece of wood, which is not only more beautiful but also feels better when picked up.
[0026] An insertion space for installing the light guide 3 is provided inside the main structure 4. The insertion space is set up in the main structure 4 from top to bottom. The light guide 3 is inserted into the insertion space to form a whole with the main structure 4. The light guide 3 is used to transmit the light emitted by the light-emitting component to the light-emitting position.
[0027] An outer flame diffusion cover 1 is provided on the top of the main structure 4. The outer flame diffusion cover 1 can be set to different colors and different flame shapes to meet customer customization needs.
[0028] An inner flame diffuser 2 can be optionally set at the bottom of the outer flame diffuser 1. The inner flame diffuser 2 can also be set to different colors and the corresponding flame shape can be set in conjunction with the outer flame diffuser 1. The inner flame diffuser 2 can make the flame of the electronic candle wick more layered and more realistic.
[0029] The top of the main structure 4 is plug-in fitted with the outer flame diffusion cover 1, and the outer flame diffusion cover 1 is set on the top of the main structure 4. The top of the main structure 4 and the outer flame diffusion cover 1 are friction-fitted. Preferably, a protruding structure is provided at the top of the main structure 4, and a recessed structure that cooperates with the protruding structure is provided at the bottom of the outer flame diffusion cover 1.
[0030] When the user chooses to have an inner flame diffuser 2, the inner flame diffuser 2 is installed at the bottom of the outer flame diffuser 1 and cooperates with the top of the main structure 4. Due to the volume difference between the outer flame and the inner flame in a real flame, the volume of the outer flame diffuser 1 is much larger than that of the inner flame diffuser 2. Connection structures need to be set at both ends of the inner flame diffuser 2. The inner flame diffuser 2 also adopts a friction-fit plug-in structure. A protruding structure that cooperates with the outer flame diffuser 1 is provided at the top of the inner flame diffuser 2, and a recessed structure that cooperates with the main structure 4 is provided at the bottom of the inner flame diffuser 2, thereby connecting the outer flame diffuser 1, the inner flame diffuser 2 and the main structure 4 into a whole.
[0031] The outer flame diffuser 1 and the inner flame diffuser 2 can be plugged in and out for installation and disassembly. Users can prepare multiple outer flame diffusers 1 and inner flame diffusers 2 of different shapes and colors to match the main structure 4, thereby obtaining a variety of different flame shapes and colors, which can be adapted to different scenes.
[0032] The top shape of the light guide plate 3 is set to correspond to the shape of the outer flame diffuser cover 1. The light guide plate 3 is inserted into the plug-in space in the main structure 1 and extends out of the plug-in space. The part of the plug-in space where the light guide plate 3 extends out is used to cooperate with the outer flame diffuser cover 1 and the inner flame diffuser cover 2.
[0033] The top structure 3.1 of the light guide plate 3 is arranged corresponding to the outer flame diffuser 1 and the inner flame diffuser 2. After the outer flame diffuser 1 and the inner flame diffuser 2 are installed on the main structure 4, the outer flame diffuser 1 and the inner flame diffuser 2 are mounted on the outside of the top structure 3.1. The top structure 3.1 is provided with frosting or stripes to destroy the total reflection so that the top can emit light according to the designed shape, so that the light of the light guide plate 3 emits light along the shape of the top structure 3.1, thereby further enabling the light to fully cooperate with the outer flame diffuser 1 and the inner flame diffuser 2 to emit candle light.
[0034] A separation waistline 3.2 is selectively set in the middle part of the light guide plate. The separation waistline 3.2 also uses wood grain or frosting to converge the light. The separation waistline 3.2 can correspond to the inner flame diffusion cover 2 to make the inner flame diffusion cover 2 glow, and can also converge the light at the bottom of the light-emitting plate 3 at the position of the top structure 3.1.
[0035] A groove 3.3 is provided on the lower side of the light guide plate 3. The groove 3.3 is used to install the LED. When the LED is installed in the groove 3.3, the light guide plate 3 can fully contact the LED and guide light.
[0036] In other embodiments, the light guide plate 3 is not provided with a groove, but a space is reserved for installing an LED, and the LED installed subsequently can be used in conjunction with the light guide plate 3.
[0037] An LED component 5 is provided at the bottom of the main structure, and an LED for emitting light is installed on the LED component 5. The LED component 5 is preferably a PCB board with an SMD LED or an LED set to a DIP package with two pins, preferably a flat LED with a thickness of 1-2 mm. The above-mentioned LED is more compatible with the light-emitting sheet 3 in the main structure 4 and has a better lighting effect. The installation position of the LED corresponds to the groove 3.3.
[0038] Furthermore, a control PCB board can be integrated on the LED assembly 5, and electronic components such as IC can be set on the control PCB board to realize functions such as flashing, remote control, and timing.
[0039] The flashing and timing functions can also be implemented in the LED assembly 5, such as placing the IC on the SMD LED mounting board of the LED assembly 5, or the LED has its own flashing or timing, or both, for easy control.
[0040] A wire 6 is connected to the bottom of the LED component 5, which is used to electrically connect to the battery, making it convenient for portable use of the electronic candle. A battery mounting shell can be directly fixed to the bottom of the main structure 4, and the battery is installed in the battery mounting shell. The battery mounting shell is electrically connected to the other end of the wire 6, and the battery supplies power to the LED component 5.
[0041] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
