[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model proposes an electronic scented candle, comprising:
[0036] Housing 10, wherein a mounting groove 13 is formed inside the housing 10;
[0037] A power module is mounted on the housing 10;
[0038] A wax container 20 is installed in the mounting groove 13 and is used to hold low-temperature wax 50 and aromatherapy products.
[0039] Heating element 30, which is installed in housing 10, is used to heat the low-temperature wax 50 in wax container 20;
[0040] An electronic control board, mounted on the housing 10 and electrically connected to the heating element 30 and the power module, controls the temperature change of the heating element 30; and
[0041] The light element 40 is electrically connected to the electronic control board. The light element 40 protrudes from the housing 10 and is movably connected to the wax container 20 so that the light element 40 swings and connects to the housing 10 to simulate the swaying effect of a flame.
[0042] The electronic aromatherapy candle of this utility model includes a housing 10, a power module, a wax container 20, a heating element 30, and a light source 40. A mounting groove 13 is formed inside the housing 10. The power module is installed in the housing 10. The wax container 20 is installed in the mounting groove 13 for holding low-temperature wax 50 and aromatherapy. The heating element 30 is installed in the housing 10 and electrically connected to the power module for heating the low-temperature wax 50 in the wax container 20. An electronic control board is installed in the housing 10 and electrically connected to the heating element 30 and the power module to control the heating element 30. Temperature changes trigger the light element 40, which is electrically connected to the control board. The light element 40 protrudes from the housing 10 and is movably connected to the wax chamber 20, allowing it to oscillate and simulate the movement of a flame. Powered by a power module, the light element 40 emits light. The heating element 30 then heats the low-temperature wax 50, simulating candle burning. This allows the electronic scented candle to achieve the burning effect of a traditional candle without producing an open flame, thus improving its safety. Furthermore, by adding fragrance to the low-temperature wax 50, the electronic scented candle not only provides illumination but also purifies the surrounding air, creating a relaxing and stress-relieving effect, thereby enhancing the user experience. The light element can be an LED light, OLED light, neon light, etc.
[0043] It should be noted that the oscillation effect between the light element 40 and the housing 10 can be achieved by installing a oscillating frame inside the housing 10, mounting the light element 40 on the oscillating frame, and then rotating or movably connecting the oscillating frame to the housing 10. A drive component then drives the oscillating frame to move, thereby achieving the oscillation effect of the light element 40, thus enhancing the realism of the electronic aromatherapy candle and improving the user experience. Alternatively, the oscillation effect can also be achieved by the drive component directly moving the light element 40. The drive component can be a magnetic coil, a drive motor, a cylinder, or other similar structures.
[0044] Meanwhile, the light component 40 will also flash during the swinging process. This flashing can be controlled by the power module or it can be generated by the swinging of the light component 40, thereby further enhancing the realism of the electronic aromatherapy candle and improving the user experience.
[0045] Specifically, the shell 10 is made of a thermochromic material. Of course, the shell 10 can be made of plastic, ceramic, glass, resin, etc., and the thermochromic material is added inside the shell 10. Thus, depending on the temperature of the heating element 30, the shell 10 displays different colors and patterns, thereby improving the aesthetics of the electronic aromatherapy candle and reducing stress for the user, thus enhancing the user experience. Alternatively, different colors and patterns can be displayed based on the remaining amount of low-temperature wax 50, reminding the user to replace the low-temperature wax 50 in time, thereby improving user convenience. The thermochromic material can be a liquid crystal thermochromic material, an inorganic thermochromic material, a thermochromic microcapsule pigment, etc.
[0046] Reference Figures 2 to 4 In one embodiment, the wax container 20 is detachably connected to the housing 10. Understandably, the user can prepare multiple wax containers 20, each containing a low-temperature wax for the corresponding fragrance. Therefore, by detachably connecting the wax container 20 to the housing 10, the user can easily and conveniently change the fragrance in the wax container 20 during the operation of the electronic fragrance candle, thereby facilitating the user to change the fragrance candle and improving the user experience.
[0047] Specifically, the housing 10 includes a first annular housing 11 and a second annular housing 12 connected together. The inner diameter of the second annular housing 12 is larger than the inner diameter of the first annular housing 11, so that a contact platform 14 is formed between the first annular housing 11 and the second annular housing 12. The wax container 20 rests on the contact platform 14 to facilitate the placement and removal of the wax container 20. This facilitates the installation and disassembly of the wax container 20, and consequently, the cleaning of the wax container 20 and the replacement of the low-temperature wax 50 during daily use. The outer peripheral wall of the wax container 20 may have an interference fit with the inner peripheral wall of the housing 10, so that the wax container 20 is not easily detached from the housing when the user takes out the electronic scented candle. Of course, an interference fit may not be necessary, because the height of the wax container 20 is relatively high, and the limiting effect between it and the housing 10 is better, so that the wax container 20 is not easily detached when the user takes out the electronic scented candle. Of course, in other embodiments, the wax container 20 may also be connected to the housing 10 by a snap-fit structure.
[0048] Specifically, the wax container 20 is annularly hollow, with the heating element 30 abutting against the end of the low-temperature wax 50 away from the light source 40, and the low-temperature wax 50 abutting against the abutment platform 14. Alternatively, the low-temperature wax 50 can be directly press-fitted into the wax container 20, facilitating routine replacement. Of course, in other embodiments, the wax container 20 may also have a bottom wall to accommodate the low-temperature wax 50.
[0049] Furthermore, the light element 40 is electrically connected to the power module via wires that pass sequentially through the low-temperature wax 50 and the heating element 30. The heating element 30 is ring-shaped, and its inner diameter is at least four times the diameter of the wires. Understandably, the heating element 30 is used to heat the low-temperature wax 50 to simulate the effect of a regular candle. Therefore, to avoid the heating element 30 directly contacting the wires and causing damage and leakage, the heating element 30 is designed as a hollow ring, and its inner diameter is at least four times the diameter of the wires. This reduces the impact of the heating element 30 on the wires during heating, thereby improving the lifespan of the electronic scented candle.
[0050] Specifically, the electronic aromatherapy candle also includes a circuit board, which is electrically connected to the power module and the heating element 30. By setting up the circuit board, the light element 40 and the heating element 30 can be controlled, thereby controlling the brightness of the light element 40 and the temperature of the heating element 30, thus improving the control effect of the electronic aromatherapy and enhancing the user experience.
[0051] Specifically, the power module includes a power interface that is electrically connected to the circuit board. Through the power interface, the power module can be charged, and the electronic scented candle can also be powered directly by an external power source, thus improving the convenience of the electronic scented candle.
[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 5 Furthermore, the power module includes a battery compartment 61, which is installed on the side of the housing 10 opposite to the light source 40. By providing the battery compartment 61, the electronic scented candle can also be powered solely by a battery, thereby increasing the application scenarios of the electronic scented candle and improving its practicality and convenience.
[0053] Specifically, the power module also includes a battery door 62, which has a latch. The battery compartment 61 has a snap-fit hole, and the battery door 62 is connected to the battery compartment 61 by the cooperation of the latch and the snap-fit hole. The latch structure facilitates the installation and removal of the battery door 62, thereby facilitating daily battery replacement.
[0054] Specifically, the battery compartment 61 is provided with multiple support feet 63 on the side opposite to the light element 40. By providing support feet 63, water and dirt from the tabletop are prevented from entering the battery compartment 61, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the electronic scented candle.
[0055] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
