Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of candle technology, and in particular to long-burning candles. Background Technology
[0002] A candle is an everyday lighting tool, primarily composed of paraffin wax and a wick. Generally, after the paraffin wax is heated and melted, the wick is vertically fixed in the center of a mold. Once the wax cools and solidifies, a candle is formed. In ancient times, people also used animal fats and other materials to make candles. Candles come in a variety of shapes, commonly cylindrical or conical, as well as various creative designs. Their colors are also abundant, ranging from basic red, white, and yellow to a variety of vibrant or soft hues. When a candle is lit, the burning wick melts and vaporizes the surrounding paraffin wax, allowing it to continue burning and emitting light. This provides emergency lighting in situations such as power outages, and is also often used to create a romantic atmosphere, such as at birthday parties and weddings. Furthermore, candles possess artistic value; in art exhibitions or handicrafts, they can be sculpted or molded into exquisite works of art.
[0003] The combustion of a candle is a complex chemical reaction and physical change process. From a physical perspective, after the candle is lit, the heat of the flame causes the paraffin wax around the wick to change from a solid to a liquid state, and then vaporize into a gaseous state. From a chemical reaction perspective, the gaseous paraffin wax undergoes a violent oxidation reaction with oxygen in the air at high temperatures, producing carbon dioxide and water, and releasing a large amount of heat and light. The flame can be divided into three layers: the core of the flame mainly consists of unburned paraffin wax vapor, with a lower temperature; the inner flame is incompletely burned, containing some carbon particles, and is brighter; the outer flame is in full contact with oxygen, burns completely, and has the highest temperature. During combustion, due to impurities in the paraffin wax, a small amount of black smoke may be produced, mainly from unburned carbon particles. As the candle burns, it gradually shortens until it is completely burned out.
[0004] However, some existing candles often use a single paraffin wax material. During combustion, the paraffin wax melts rapidly, causing a large amount of wax dripping down, which cannot be effectively recycled, resulting in serious fuel waste. At the same time, the wick is consumed too quickly during combustion and cannot provide sufficient and stable fuel for combustion. Therefore, to address these shortcomings, a long-lasting candle is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a long-burning candle, which aims to improve the problem that some candles in the prior art cannot achieve long-term burning.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A long-lasting candle includes a base, a candle mechanism fixedly connected inside the base, and a fixing mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the base; the candle mechanism includes an outer ring, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the base, an inner column fixedly connected inside the outer ring, multiple reinforcing layers fixedly connected inside the inner column, multiple flow channels opened inside the base, a wick ring fixedly connected to the top of the reinforcing layers, and a flame-retardant component provided on the outside of the wick ring;
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The flame-retardant component includes multiple flame-retardant strips, the interior of which is fixedly connected to the exterior of the wick ring, and the interior of the wick ring is fixedly connected to a flame-retardant core.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The fixing mechanism includes a suction cup, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base. Multiple support frames are fixedly connected to the outside of the base, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the multiple support frames.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The outer ring of the candle is made of microcrystalline wax, and the inner pillar of the candle is made of paraffin wax.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The reinforcing layer is made of stearic acid, and the wick ring is made of synthetic fiber.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] Both the flame-retardant strip and the flame-retardant core are spiral-shaped, and the flame-retardant strip is made of high-carbon cotton thread.
[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0019] The flame-retardant core is made of a natural fiber blend, and the guide groove is semi-cylindrical in shape.
[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0021] The length of the outer ring of the candle is slightly higher than the top of the inner pillar of the candle, and the top of the outer ring of the candle is an arc design.
[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. In this invention, when wax drips from the inner candle column, the longer outer ring guides the wax down its inner wall, preventing direct dripping and waste. Simultaneously, the semi-cylindrical guide channel inside the base works in conjunction with the outer ring. When wax drips flow into the guide channel, they are redirected along a specific path to the vicinity of the inner candle column, providing a continuous supply of fuel for the candle's combustion and significantly extending its burning time. The excellent flame-retardant properties of the high-carbon cotton thread ensure that the flame-retardant strip remains unburned for an extended period in the candle's flame. The spiral structure increases the contact area with air, resulting in more complete and prolonged combustion. The flame-retardant wick, located at the center of the wick ring, works in conjunction with the flame-retardant strip. Its spiral design better guides the flame upwards, improving fuel supply efficiency and further enhancing the candle's burning durability, extending its lifespan and increasing its overall value.
[0024] 2. In this utility model, when the suction cup is used, it is pressed onto a smooth surface, squeezing out the internal air to form a negative pressure, which tightly adheres to the surface, providing additional fixing force for the candle and effectively preventing the candle from moving due to external forces. The multiple support frames on the outside of the base are connected to support plates at the bottom. The support plates have a large area, which can increase the contact area with the placement surface, distribute the weight of the candle, and ensure that the candle is not disturbed by the outside world during long-term burning, thus ensuring the stability of the candle placement in all aspects.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Reference Figures 2 to 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a long-lasting candle, comprising a base 1, which serves as the basic support structure for the entire long-lasting candle. A candle mechanism 2 is fixedly connected inside the base 1, and a fixing mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the base 1. The candle mechanism 2 includes an outer ring 21. Microcrystalline wax has good toughness and plasticity, and compared to ordinary paraffin wax, it can better maintain the shape of the candle and prevent deformation due to heat during combustion. The top of the outer ring 21 is an arc design, and the outer ring 21 is made of microcrystalline wax. The bottom of the outer ring 21 is fixedly connected to the inside of the base 1. An inner candle post 26 is fixedly connected inside the outer ring 21. The length of the outer ring 21 is slightly higher than the top of the inner candle post 26. When the inner candle post 26 burns and produces wax drips, due to the longer length of the outer ring 21, the wax drips will flow down the inner wall of the outer ring, avoiding direct dripping and waste. This also provides some protection and assists in the combustion of the inner candle post 26.
[0033] The inner column 26 of the candle is made of paraffin wax, which has good flammability and can provide a stable combustion source for the candle. Multiple reinforcing layers 22 are fixedly connected inside the inner column 26. These reinforcing layers 22 are made of stearic acid, which has high hardness and strength, effectively enhancing the structural stability of the inner column 26. During candle burning, the temperature continuously rises, and the inner column 26 is prone to softening and deformation due to heat. The reinforcing layers 22 prevent this from happening, ensuring the inner column 26 maintains a good shape and guarantees continuous and stable combustion. The base 1 has multiple guide channels 23 inside, each semi-cylindrical in shape. When wax drips down the outer ring 21 of the candle, it enters the guide channels 23. The semi-cylindrical design of the guide channels 23 guides the wax drips along a specific path, making better use of the wax and preventing it from flowing randomly. It also helps to redirect the wax drips back to the vicinity of the inner column 26, providing more fuel for the candle's combustion and further extending the burning time.
[0034] A wick ring 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the reinforcing layer 22. The wick ring 24 is made of synthetic fiber, which has good heat resistance and stability, and can maintain its shape and performance under the high temperature environment of candle burning. A flame-retardant component 25 is provided on the outside of the wick ring 24. The flame-retardant component 25 includes multiple flame-retardant strips 251, which are internally fixed to the outside of the wick ring 24. The flame-retardant strips 251 are made of high-carbon fiber cotton thread, which has excellent flame-retardant properties. They are spirally distributed on the outside of the wick ring 24. The spiral structure increases the contact area between the flame-retardant strips 251 and the air, making the combustion more complete and longer. It also provides some protection for the wick, slowing down the burning speed of the wick, thereby improving the overall burning durability of the candle. A flame-resistant core 252 is fixedly connected inside the wick ring 24. Both the flame-resistant strip 251 and the flame-resistant core 252 are spiral-shaped. The flame-resistant core 252 is made of a natural fiber blend, which combines the advantages of various natural fibers, exhibiting excellent flammability and flame resistance. Located at the center of the wick ring 24, the flame-resistant core 252 works in conjunction with the flame-resistant strip 251 to further enhance the candle's burning durability. The spiral design allows the flame-resistant core 252 to better guide the flame upwards, while also increasing fuel supply efficiency, enabling the candle to burn continuously and stably.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing mechanism 3 includes a suction cup 31, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1. When using the candle, the suction cup 31 is pressed onto a smooth surface, the air inside the suction cup 31 is squeezed out, forming a negative pressure, thus tightly adhering to the surface and providing additional fixing force for the candle. This prevents the candle from moving or tipping over due to external forces during placement, ensuring the stability of the candle during long-lasting burning. Multiple support frames 32 are fixedly connected to the outside of the base 1. Each support frame 32 has a support plate 33 fixedly connected to its bottom. The support plate 33 is connected to the bottom of the support frame 32. The support plate 33 has a large area, which increases the contact area with the placement surface, distributing the weight of the candle and ensuring stability.
[0036] Working Principle: During candle burning, the outer ring 21 of the candle, made of microcrystalline wax with a rounded top, is slightly longer than the inner pillar 26 made of paraffin wax. When the inner pillar 26 burns, the wax drips flow down along the semi-cylindrical guide groove 23 inside the base 1 due to the slightly longer structure of the outer ring 21. This structural design effectively utilizes the wax drips, thus aiding the combustion of the inner pillar and extending the burning time and effect. The stearic acid reinforcement layer 22 inside the inner pillar 26 enhances structural stability. The flame-retardant component 25, composed of a high-carbon cotton flame-retardant strip 251 and an inner natural fiber blend flame-retardant core 252, further enhances the candle's burning durability with its spiral structure. Regarding the fixing mechanism 3, the suction cup 31 is fixed at the bottom of the base 1, and multiple support brackets 32 on the outside of the base 1 are connected to the support plate 33 at the bottom, jointly ensuring the stability of the candle and ensuring that the candle can be placed stably during long-lasting burning without external interference, thereby achieving the long-lasting burning function of the candle in all aspects.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
