Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of candle lamp technology, and in particular to an outdoor waterproof flickering candle wick and its flickering candle lamp. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of lighting decoration, shimmering candles, with their unique dynamic flame effect, add a warm, romantic, and lively atmosphere to indoor environments. These shimmering candles rely on a special internal mechanism to make the wick flame move and sway, simulating the natural movement of a real candle swaying in the wind, giving people a lifelike visual experience. To facilitate the smooth operation of the internal mechanism, the top of the shimmering candle features a window-like, openwork design. In indoor environments, this design is perfectly acceptable, allowing the candle to perfectly showcase its creative function. It is highly favored by consumers and widely used in many indoor scenarios such as home decoration, restaurant ambiance creation, and wedding venue setup.

[0003] However, when considering extending the use of shimmering candles to outdoor settings, the existing design reveals serious flaws. Outdoor environments are complex and changeable, with rain being a common occurrence. Because the top of the shimmering candle is open, rainwater can easily flow into the product. Once moisture penetrates, critical structures such as internal electronic components and mechanical transmission parts are highly susceptible to damage. Moisture in the electronic circuitry can cause short circuits, resulting in abnormal flickering or even complete extinguishing of the flame. Rusting or jamming of mechanical parts will disrupt the swaying motion of the wick, significantly diminishing the originally exquisite dynamic effect and ultimately causing the entire product to malfunction and become unusable.

[0004] Currently, most manufacturers, due to waterproofing challenges, can only limit the use of glitter candles to indoor scenarios. This undoubtedly restricts the market potential and application scope of glitter candles, excluding many outdoor settings that require a romantic atmosphere, such as outdoor patio parties, street-side cafes, and park landscape lighting. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an innovative technological solution that can maintain the unique glittering function of glitter candles while effectively addressing the issue of rainwater ingress, ensuring that the product's function and performance remain unaffected even after rain exposure. This would broaden the application boundaries of glitter candles and unlock a wider outdoor market. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5In this embodiment of the present invention, an outdoor waterproof glitter candle wick includes a support 10, a housing 20 mounted on the support 10, a wick support cover 30 covering the housing 20, a glitter candle wick 40 swayably connected to the wick support cover 30, a waterproof LED bead 31 mounted on the wick support cover 30 and facing the glitter candle wick 40, a magnetic counterweight 41 connected to the glitter candle wick 40 and located between the wick support cover 30 and the housing 20, and a circuit board 50 mounted at the lower end of the housing 20 and protected between the housing 20 and the support 10. The circuit board 50 is provided with a coil 51 acting on the magnetic counterweight 41, and a first waterproof wire (not shown) is connected between the circuit board 50 and the waterproof LED bead 31. A drain pipe 21 is provided at the lower end of the housing 20, penetrating downwards into the support 10. The circuit board 50 is also connected to a second waterproof wire (not shown) extending beyond the lower end of the support 10, and the circuit board 50 is powered through the second waterproof wire.

[0031] In use, the outdoor waterproof glitter candle wick is fixed by the support bracket 10. The support bracket 10 is designed with a corresponding fixing structure according to the fixing requirements. For example, the support bracket 10 can be directly attached to the corresponding indoor or outdoor position by adhesive. The support bracket 10 can also be designed with a stick structure to be inserted into the ground. Alternatively, a corresponding candle structure or lamp holder structure can be set up, and the outdoor waterproof glitter candle wick can be fixed to the candle structure or lamp holder structure by the support bracket 10.

[0032] In terms of structural design, the magnetic counterweight 41 and the swaying wick 40 movably connected to the wick support cover 30 can form a swingable wick structure. With the corresponding coil 51, the magnetic counterweight 41 can be made to swing through magnetic attraction, thereby driving the wick structure to mimic the dynamic effect of a flame. In terms of structural design, the magnetic counterweight 41 can be concealed through the cooperation of the housing 20 and the wick support cover 30, so that from the outside, the outdoor waterproof swaying wick appears only as the swaying wick 40. With the addition of the waterproof LED bead 31, a dynamic lighting effect mimicking a flame can be achieved at night. Because the magnetic counterweight 41 and the swaying wick 40 movably connected to the wick support cover 30 will cause the wick support... Water may leak from the cover 30 into the housing 20. Therefore, the space between the support bracket 10 and the housing 20 is used to set up the circuit board 50 with the coil 51. By concave the lower end of the housing 20 to a certain extent, the circuit board 50 can be accommodated between the housing 20 and the support bracket 10 after the housing 20 is fixed on the support bracket 10. The bottom of the housing 20 acts as a partition to prevent water leakage from penetrating into the circuit board 50. The circuit board 50 uses a first waterproof wire to connect to the waterproof LED bead 31 and a second waterproof wire to the power supply device such as a battery. When wiring, the wires can be passed through corresponding wire holes. After the wires are passed through, the wire holes are sealed with glue to provide power to the circuit board 50, the coil 51 and the waterproof LED bead 31. This design prevents water from accumulating on the surface of the circuit board 50 during outdoor use, thus avoiding moisture from penetrating the electronic components inside the circuit board 50. It effectively solves the problem of rainwater entering the product, ensuring that the product's function and performance remain unaffected even when exposed to rain, thereby expanding the application boundaries of the shimmering candle and unlocking a broader outdoor market.

[0033] Please see Figure 2-3In this utility model, based on the magnetic counterweight 41 and the flickering candle wick 40 movably connected to the candle wick support cover 30, the utility model adopts the following technical solution to achieve the effect of the flickering candle wick 40 mimicking the dynamics of a flame: the candle wick support cover 30 is provided with a coupling concave point 32 and a relaxation through hole 33 located next to the coupling concave point 32; the lower end of the flickering candle wick 40 is provided with a coupling protrusion 42 that aligns with the coupling concave point 32 and a counterweight connecting rod 43 located next to the coupling protrusion 42; the counterweight connecting rod 43 is movably inserted through the relaxation through hole 33 between the candle wick support cover 30 and the housing 20; and the magnetic counterweight 41 is fixedly connected to the counterweight connecting rod 43. The flickering candle wick 40, through the cooperation of the counterweight connecting rod 43 and the relaxation through hole 33, combined with the cooperation of the coupling concave point 32 and the coupling protrusion 42, allows the flickering candle wick 40 to swing to a certain extent along the coupling protrusion 42 on the candle wick support cover 30. Combined with the illumination of the waterproof lamp bead 31, the flickering candle wick 40 in the swinging state can achieve a flickering light effect, that is, to imitate the dynamic light effect of a flame. This structural design, combined with the magnetic mounting block, can ensure the firmness of the coupling between the coupling concave point 32 and the coupling protrusion 42 due to the gravity of the magnetic counterweight block. Moreover, because the counterweight connecting rod 43 is offset from the axis of the flickering candle wick 40, it can also achieve the effect of making the flickering candle wick 40 swing even under the action of a light breeze.

[0034] To illustrate the application scenarios of this technical solution in more detail, the specific usage of outdoor waterproof glitter candle wicks will be further described below through specific implementation methods:

[0035]

Example 1

[0036] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 7 An outdoor waterproof flashing candle light includes the aforementioned outdoor waterproof flashing candle wick, a power supply base, and a support rod 60 connected to the power supply base.

The lower end of the support rod 60 communicates with the inside of the battery box 70, and the upper end of the support rod 60 communicates with the upper end of the support bracket 10. A second waterproof wire extends into the battery box 70 along the inside of the support rod 60 and is electrically connected to the battery body 71. The waterproof cover 73 has a conical structure, and a sealing sleeve 74 that abuts against the support rod 60 is provided in the middle of the waterproof cover 73, or the waterproof cover 73 and the support rod 60 are integrally formed.

[0037] By adopting the structural design of a power supply base and support rod 60, the overall structure is combined to form a structure similar to a lamp holder. The outdoor waterproof flashing candle wick is fixed on the support rod 60, thus forming a candle lamp structure similar to one with a lamp holder. The power supply base has a built-in battery body 71, and the tubular support rod 60 is used for wiring, making the whole structure a self-powered candle lamp structure. In terms of waterproof design, a waterproof cover 73 is adopted. The waterproof cover 73 has a conical structure, which makes the overall shape of the lamp holder more attractive. At the same time, it also has a drainage effect, so that the water dripping along the drain pipe 21 of the outdoor waterproof flashing candle wick can be guided by the waterproof cover to the side of the power supply base, protecting the battery box 70 from water accumulation and moisture.

[0038]

Example 2

[0039] Please see Figure 5-7 An outdoor waterproof flashing candle light includes the aforementioned outdoor waterproof flashing candle wick, a candle body 80, a power supply base installed at the lower end of the candle body 80, and a support rod 60 connected to the power supply base. A support bracket 10 is inserted and fixed to the support rod 60. The power supply base includes a battery box 70, a battery body 71 disposed inside an electromagnetic box, a sealing cover 72 sealingly covering the lower end of the battery box 70, and a waterproof cover 73 covering the upper end of the battery box 70. The support rod 60 has a tubular structure, and the waterproof cover 73 is sealed to the support rod 60. The lower end of the support rod 60 communicates with the interior of the battery box 70, and the upper end of the support rod 60... The second waterproof wire extends into the battery box 70 along the inside of the support rod 60 and is electrically connected to the battery body 71. The wax body 80 is a hollow shell structure with an open lower end. The power supply base is fixedly covered at the lower end of the wax body 80. A through hole 81 is provided on the wax body 80. The shimmering candle wick 40 and the waterproof LED bead 31 protrude from the upper end of the wax body 80 along the through hole 81. A boss 34 is formed on the candle wick support cover 30. The shimmering candle wick 40 and the waterproof LED bead 31 are both set on the boss 34, and the boss 34 is mated with the through hole 81. The boss 34 can play a positioning role and a certain degree of water resistance.

[0040] The waterproof cover 73 has a conical structure. A sealing sleeve 74 that connects to the support rod 60 is provided in the middle of the waterproof cover 73, or the waterproof cover 73 and the support rod 60 are integrally formed. A water-blocking ring 79 is provided on the battery box 70, and the waterproof cover 73 is fitted onto the water-blocking ring 79. The battery box 70 also has a fixing edge 75 located outside the water-blocking ring 79. The battery box 70 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the wax body 80 through the fixing edge 75. At least one drainage hole 76 penetrating the lower end is provided on the fixing edge 75. A charging interface 77 that is electrically connected to the battery body 71 is provided on the battery box 70 inside the water-blocking ring 79. A side-opening mask 78 corresponding to the charging interface 77 is expanded and formed on the waterproof cover 73. The side-opening mask 78 is offset from directly below the drain pipe 21.

[0041] Based on Example 1, this example also introduces a wax body 80, which is a hollow shell structure with an open lower end. This structure, when the power supply base and support rod 60 of Example 1 are installed, forms a candle structure. During production or use, the wax body 80 can be selectively added to change the external structure, thus meeting different usage scenarios. Regarding the waterproofing performance of this hollow shell structure wax body 80, in addition to waterproofing the outdoor waterproof flickering candle wick and power supply base, it also addresses the issue of water accumulation within the wax body. The internal condition of the wax body 80 was considered, so the base was further improved. In addition to using a water-blocking ring 79 to block water accumulation, the water-blocking ring 79 also served to fix the waterproof cover 73. Furthermore, a charging interface 77 could be set on this base, so that after the wax body 80 was disassembled, the charging cable could be connected to the charging interface 77 along the side opening mask 78 to charge the internal battery body 71. In addition, the battery box 70 was further equipped with a fixed edge 75 structure, and a drainage hole 76 was opened on the fixed edge 75, so that the water accumulated inside the wax body 80 could be discharged to the outside through the drainage hole 76.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
