Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic lighting technology, specifically to an electronic candle. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic candles, also known as LED candles, have evolved from simple candle-shaped LED wicks to electronic musical fountain candles that can simulate fountain sounds. Their functions, colors, and styles have become increasingly diverse. They not only offer practical and safe lighting but also possess aesthetic and decorative value. Electronic candles that simulate real fire, because their light-emitting devices mimic the burning pattern of traditional mineral candles, can create a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, promoting relaxation and making them very popular. More and more people are choosing them as decorative items.

[0003] Currently, the focus of attention on electronic candles is on the realism of the lighting effects. To achieve more realistic lighting effects, existing technologies use mechanical structures, airflow, or water flow to drive the flame plate to oscillate, thereby improving realism. However, these current driving methods lack sufficient randomness, resulting in only average realism in the flame plate oscillation, leaving considerable room for improvement. Utility Model Content

The electromagnetic drive is used to electromagnetically drive the magnetic rolling element to roll in the rolling cavity. The rolling of the magnetic rolling element can drive the magnetic follower to swing through magnetic force, thereby causing the flame simulation element to swing.

[0006] In one embodiment, the flame simulator is in a vertical position, and the extension of the central axis of the flame simulator passes through the middle of the rolling cavity.

[0014] In one embodiment, the mounting cavity includes a first mounting cavity and a second mounting cavity, the flame simulation component is mounted in the first mounting cavity, and the electromagnetic drive component is mounted in the second mounting cavity, wherein the first mounting cavity and the second mounting cavity are independent of each other.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first mounting cavity is a liquid medium cavity, the flame simulator is a flexible structural component, and the random drive component is used to drive the flame simulator to move flexibly within the liquid medium cavity.

[0016] In one embodiment, a light source is further included, and the mounting cavity further includes a third mounting cavity. The light source is mounted in the third mounting cavity, and a light-transmitting wall or light-transmitting hole is provided between the third mounting cavity and the first mounting cavity.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0024] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.

[0025] The component serial numbers used in this document, such as "first" and "second," are merely for distinguishing the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages). In this document, the axial direction refers to the length of the electronic candle, which is also the vertical direction in the installed state; the radial direction refers to the left-right or front-back direction of the electronic candle, which is also the horizontal direction in the installed state.

[0026] In one embodiment, an electronic candle is provided. The electronic candle includes a flame simulator and a light source. The flame simulator has a reflective surface, and the light source emits light to illuminate the reflective surface of the flame simulator to simulate a candle flame. The flame simulator can be oscillating; when the electronic candle is lit, the flame simulator can oscillate to emit light, simulating the flickering motion of a traditional candle flame. Compared to ordinary lamps, this electronic candle not only provides illumination but also simulates the dynamic flame of a traditional candle, offering higher realism and creating a more atmospheric lighting effect.

[0027] This embodiment of the randomly driven electronic candle incorporates a random drive component, which is a magnetic drive mechanism. A magnetic roller is electromagnetically controlled to roll within a rolling cavity. The rolling of the magnetic roller, in turn, drives a magnetic follower mounted on a flame simulator via magnetic force, causing the flame simulator to oscillate. The high degree of freedom and randomness of the magnetic roller's movement within the rolling cavity allows for more random oscillation of the flame simulator, significantly improving its realism and making it closer to the dynamic flame of a traditional candle.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The randomly driven electronic candle in this embodiment mainly includes a housing 1, a flame simulator 2, and a random drive assembly 3. The housing 1 includes a first housing 1a and a second housing 1b, which are connected side by side along the length (axial direction) of the electronic candle. The flame simulator 2 is installed in the first housing 1a, and the random drive assembly 3 is installed in the second housing 1b.

[0029] The first housing 1a and the second housing 1b can be detachably connected, allowing the assembly consisting of the flame simulation component 2 and the first housing 1a to be replaced and disassembled for maintenance. Alternatively, the first housing 1a and the second housing 1b can be an integral structure to improve the stability of the connection between them, thus meeting the needs of certain application scenarios.

[0030] The first housing 1a and the second housing 1b can each be composed of multiple parts, allowing different parts of the first housing 1a and the second housing 1b to be made of different materials, creating a wider variety of color-blocked appearances. Alternatively, different parts of the first housing 1a and the second housing 1b can use the same color, resulting in a simpler overall design. The composition of the first housing 1a and the second housing 1b into multiple parts facilitates the installation of internal components.

[0031] The shape of the housing 1 can vary to meet the preferences of different consumers. This embodiment uses a long cylindrical shape as an example. The electronic candle can also be installed in various ways, such as hanging upside down or vertically facing upwards. This embodiment uses hanging upside down as an example.

[0032] The housing 1 has a mounting cavity 11 and a rolling cavity 12. The second housing 1b includes an outer shell 14 and an inner shell 15. The inner shell 15 can be fixed to the outer shell 14 by means of snap-fit, screw connection, interference fit, etc. The inner shell 15 is used to form multiple cavities and to install components. For example, the inner shell 15 separates a relatively independent rolling cavity 12 in the mounting cavity 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting cavity 11 includes a first mounting cavity 111 and a second mounting cavity 112. The first mounting cavity 111 is located within the first housing 1a, and the rolling cavity 12 and the second mounting cavity 112 are located within the second housing 1b, with the rolling cavity 12 positioned between the first mounting cavity 111 and the second mounting cavity 112. Specifically, the first mounting cavity 111 is located at the bottom of the housing 1, the second mounting cavity 112 is located at the top of the housing 1, and the rolling cavity 12 is located in the middle, slightly above the middle, or slightly below the middle of the housing 1. The first mounting cavity 111, the rolling cavity 12, and the second mounting cavity 112 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top.

[0034] In other embodiments, the first mounting cavity 111, the rolling cavity 12, and the second mounting cavity 112 can also be arranged in other ways. For example, the rolling cavity 12 and the second mounting cavity 112 can be arranged side by side, with the first mounting cavity 111 located below the rolling cavity 12. This can form an inverted L-shaped lamp, which can meet the usage needs of some consumers.

[0035] In this embodiment, the flame simulation component 2 can be a flame sheet or other similar structure. The flame simulation component 2 is installed in the mounting cavity 11. Specifically, the flame simulation component 2 is installed in the first mounting cavity 111.

[0036] In this embodiment, all or part of the outer wall of the first mounting cavity 111 is a transparent structure, such as transparent glass or transparent plastic, so that the outer wall of the first mounting cavity 111 forms a light-transmitting structure, and the light reflected or reflected by the flame part 21 can illuminate the outside of the electronic candle, and the user can observe the light emitted by the flame part 21 through the transparent shell.

[0037] The flame simulator 2 has a thin sheet structure with a thickness of less than or equal to 1 mm, preferably less than or equal to 0.6 mm. This design creates an ultra-thin structure, giving the flame simulator 2 better flexibility. When immersed in liquid, the ultra-thin flame simulator 2 can sway and move more flexibly and naturally within the liquid, enhancing the simulation and making it more closely resemble the flame of a traditional candle.

[0038] The flame simulator 2 can be made of a reflective material, such as PET or PVC. When a light source shines on the flame simulator 2, the reflection it produces can create a self-illuminating effect, simulating the flame of a traditional candle.

[0039] In other embodiments, a portion of the outer wall of the first mounting cavity 111 is transparent or semi-transparent. For example, the outer wall of the first mounting cavity 111 may have a transparent window, while other portions of the outer wall of the first mounting cavity 111 may be non-transparent. The transparent window may be annular and its height may be greater than the height of the flame portion 21. This portion of the transparent or transparent outer wall may also display the luminous flame portion 21.

[0040] In other embodiments, the flame simulator 2 may also be partially or entirely mounted on the outside of the housing 1, with the flame simulator 2 directly exposed to the outside of the housing 1 to emit light, such as simulating the flame of a traditional candle located at the top of the candle.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the flame simulator 2 includes a flame part 21 and a connecting part 22. The flame part 21 is a flame sheet structure, and one or both sides of the flame part 21 are reflective surfaces. The reflective surfaces are smooth planes with good reflective properties. When a light source illuminates the flame part 21, the flame part 21 reflects light to form a flame similar to self-luminous flame, thus simulating the flame of a candle. The connecting part 22 can be a rod-shaped or rope-shaped structure. A flame simulator bracket 4 is provided in the first mounting cavity 111. The flame simulator bracket 4 is suspended in the first mounting cavity 111. For example, the flame simulator bracket 4 is a mounting plate. The flame simulator bracket 4 divides the first mounting cavity 111 into an upper part and a lower part. The middle part of the flame simulator bracket 4 can be provided with a mounting hole 41. The connecting part 22 of the flame simulator 2 passes through and is installed in the mounting hole 41 of the flame simulator bracket 4. The upper end of the connecting part 22 is located in the upper part of the first mounting cavity 111, and the lower end of the connecting part 22 is located in the lower part of the first mounting cavity 111. The flame part 21 is mounted on the upper end of the connecting part 22, and the flame part 21 is located in the upper part of the first mounting cavity 111. The connecting part 22 can be limited and swing-connected with the flame simulation component support 4 by a limiting member, so that the flame part 21 can swing relative to the flame simulation component support 4 through the connecting part 22.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The random drive assembly 3 includes an electromagnetic drive 31, a magnetic rolling element 32, and a magnetic follower 33. The electromagnetic drive 31 is installed in the mounting cavity 11, and the magnetic rolling element 32 is installed in the rolling cavity 12. The magnetic rolling element 32 can roll within the rolling cavity 12. The magnetic follower 33 is connected to the end of the connection portion 22 of the flame simulator 2 away from the flame portion 21, and the magnetic follower 33 and the flame simulator 2 are installed as an integral structure. The magnetic follower 33 is located in the lower part of the first mounting cavity 111. The electromagnetic drive 31 is used to generate a magnetic field through electromagnetic means to drive the magnetic rolling element 32 to roll randomly within the rolling cavity 12. The magnetic rolling element 32 and the magnetic follower 33 are magnetic structures with the same or different magnetic properties. There is a magnetic attraction or magnetic repulsion between the magnetic rolling element 32 and the magnetic follower 33. When the magnetic rolling element 32 is driven to roll, the rolling of the magnetic rolling element 32 can drive the magnetic follower 33 to move together through magnetic force, thereby causing the flame simulator 2 to swing randomly.

[0043] The electromagnetic drive component 31 is installed in the second mounting cavity 112. The electromagnetic drive component 31 and the flame simulation component 2 are installed in different cavities and are independent of each other. This can avoid the heat generated by the flame simulation component 2 from affecting the electromagnetic drive component 31 and improve the service life of the electronic candle.

[0044] The electromagnetic drive unit 31 includes a circuit board 311 and an electromagnetic coil 312. The circuit board 311 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic coil 312. The circuit board 311 is used to control the electromagnetic coil 312 to generate a magnetic field. One or more driving methods can be preset in the circuit board 311, including an irregular random driving method to control the electromagnetic coil 312 to drive the magnetic rolling element 32 to move irregularly and randomly in the rolling cavity 12. Of course, the circuit board 311 can also be equipped with a regular driving method to control the electromagnetic coil 312 to drive the magnetic rolling element 32 to move regularly in the rolling cavity 12.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 The second mounting cavity 112 is provided with an electromagnetic coil support 5, and the electromagnetic coil support 5 has a receiving cavity 51. The electromagnetic coil 312 is installed in the receiving cavity 51. The size of the receiving cavity 51 is adapted to the electromagnetic coil 312, and the electromagnetic coil 312 is snapped into the receiving cavity 51.

[0046] The electromagnetic coil bracket 5 can be fitted with a screw 52. The upper end of the screw 52 protrudes and abuts against the circuit board 311, and the lower end of the screw 52 extends to the vicinity of the receiving cavity 51. The electromagnetic coil 312 is electrically connected to the circuit board 311 through the screw 52 and the cable.

[0047] In other embodiments, the electromagnetic coil 312 may also be electrically connected to the circuit board 311 via a cable.

[0048] In this embodiment, the rolling cavity 12 is configured as a relatively independent structure. Preferably, the rolling cavity 12 is a closed structure, which prevents fluids or air from other cavities from entering the rolling cavity 12. This avoids external media from interfering with the magnetic rolling element 32 and ensures the rolling of the magnetic rolling element 32, especially random rolling.

[0049] In other embodiments, the rolling cavity 12 may also be a semi-closed structure, with a through hole or opening on the inner shell 15. The through hole or opening is smaller than the magnetic rolling element 32 to prevent the magnetic rolling element 32 from coming out of the rolling cavity 12.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the inner shell 15 includes a first inner shell 151 and a second inner shell 152. The first inner shell 151 has a bowl-shaped structure, and the second inner shell 152 has a lid-shaped structure. The first inner shell 151 and the second inner shell 152 can be fixed by means of screw connection, snap-fit, adhesive, etc. The first inner shell 151 and the second inner shell 152 form a rolling cavity 12. One or both of the first inner shell 151 and the second inner shell 152 can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 14 by means of screw connection, snap-fit, adhesive, etc.

[0051] The second inner shell 152 is located at the upper end of the first inner shell 151, so that the magnetic rolling element 32 rolls inside the first inner shell 151. The first inner shell 151 has a bowl-shaped structure and has enough space inside to set the bottom surface of the concave structure.

[0052] The first inner shell 151 can be a flexible structure, such as elastic silicone. With this configuration, when the magnetic roller 32 rolls within the groove of the first inner shell 151, the flexible structure of the first inner shell 151 can absorb the impact of the magnetic roller 32, thus reducing shock and noise and optimizing the user experience.

[0053] The magnetic rolling element 32 is a magnetic block, which can be driven to roll by a magnetic field. Preferably, the magnetic rolling element 32 has a ball bearing structure. This ball bearing structure allows the magnetic rolling element 32 to roll in any direction, providing greater rolling freedom and enabling more random motion, thereby achieving more random oscillation of the flame simulator 2.

[0054] In other embodiments, the magnetic rolling element 32 can also be of other structures, such as cylindrical, rugby ball-shaped, etc. Under the action of a magnetic field, it can also be driven to roll randomly, thereby causing the flame simulation element 2 to swing randomly.

[0055] In this embodiment, the magnetic follower 33 is installed at the lower end of the connecting portion 22 of the flame simulation component 2, and is located in the lower part of the first mounting cavity 111. The magnetic follower 33 can be sheet-like, block-like, or spherical, and can be of any shape. The magnetic follower 33 is suspended in the air, and there is a certain magnetic attraction or repulsion between the magnetic follower 33 and the magnetic rolling component 32. The random rolling of the magnetic rolling component 32 can cause the magnetic follower 33 to swing randomly. The magnetic follower 33 and the flame part 21 are located at opposite ends of the connecting portion 22. After the magnetic follower 33 is driven to swing randomly, it causes the flame part 21 to swing randomly in the opposite direction. The magnetic follower 33 has a certain weight, so that when the magnetic follower 33 is in a stationary state, the flame part 21 can be kept in a stable, non-swinging state, which can meet the usage requirements of certain scenarios.

[0056] In this embodiment, the electronic candle also includes a light source 6, and the mounting cavity 11 further includes a third mounting cavity 113, in which the light source 6 is mounted. The light source 6 can be an LED light source or other light-emitting light source, and can be a fixed-color light source or a color-changing light source.

[0057] The third mounting cavity 113 is disposed adjacent to the first mounting cavity 111, and a light-transmitting wall, such as a transparent window, is provided between them. This allows the light emitted by the light source 6 in the third mounting cavity 113 to illuminate the flame part 21 in the first mounting cavity 111, making the flame part 21 appear to emit light, thus simulating a candle flame. A light-transmitting hole may also be provided between the third mounting cavity 113 and the first mounting cavity 111, so that the light emitted by the light source 6 can also illuminate the flame part 21 in the first mounting cavity 111.

[0058] Installing the light source 6 on the outside of the first mounting cavity 111 simplifies and reduces the size of the first mounting cavity 111, making it easier to inject liquid and seal the first mounting cavity 111. If there is a liquid medium in the first mounting cavity 111, the light source 6 can be isolated from the liquid medium, forming an isolation protection for the light source 6 and avoiding the risk of short circuits and other failures.

[0059] The light source 6 can directly send light to the flame part 21, or the light source 6 can send light to the flame part 21 through a reflector. Both methods can illuminate the flame part 21 to simulate the flame part 21 emitting light, and thus simulate the burning of a candle.

[0060] In other embodiments, a light source mounting base 61 may be provided within the third mounting cavity 113. The light source 6 is mounted on the light source mounting base 61. The light source mounting base 61 has mounting holes or other mounting structures in its central part. The light source 6 is mounted within the mounting holes or other mounting structures in the central part of the light source mounting base 61. The light source mounting base 61 mounts the light source 6 in the central position of the third mounting cavity 113, so that the light source 3 and the flame simulation element 2 are aligned along the axial direction of the electronic candle. The light source mounting base 61 can be made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum. This arrangement can improve the heat dissipation effect of the light source 6, ensuring that the light source 6 operates within a suitable temperature environment and extending the service life of the electronic candle.

[0061] In other embodiments, the light source 6 may also be installed inside the first mounting cavity 111, and the outer side of the light source 6 may be provided with a waterproof structure such as a transparent cover, which can also isolate and protect the light source 6.

[0062] In other embodiments, the light source 6 may not be provided. Instead, LED beads or other light-emitting bodies may be provided on both sides of the flame section 21. For example, flexible circuit boards or flexible circuit strips may be provided on both sides of the flame section 21, and light-emitting beads may be assembled on the flexible circuit boards or flexible circuit strips. This can also achieve the illumination of the flame section 21 to simulate the burning of a candle.

[0063] In this embodiment, the electronic candle is equipped with a random drive component 3, which includes an electromagnetic drive component 31, a magnetic rolling component 32, and a magnetic follower component 33. The electromagnetic drive component 31 can generate a magnetic field to drive the magnetic rolling component 32 to roll. There is a magnetic attraction or repulsion between the magnetic rolling component 32 and the magnetic follower component 33. When the magnetic rolling component 32 moves, it will drive the magnetic follower component 33 to move together through magnetic force. The magnetic follower component 33 is installed together with the flame simulator 2, which can then drive the flame simulator 2 to swing. Since the magnetic rolling component 32 rolls in the rolling cavity, its motion has a high degree of freedom and high randomness, which enables the flame simulator 2 to swing more randomly, improving the realism of the flame simulator 2's movement.

[0064] In one embodiment, the magnetic rolling element 32 is confined to a position where it can roll radially along the housing 1, and the electromagnetic drive element 31 is used to drive the magnetic rolling element 32 to roll radially within the rolling cavity 12. The flame simulator 2 is in a vertical position by default. The radial rolling of the magnetic rolling element 32 can cause the magnetic follower 33 to swing over a larger range, thereby causing the flame simulator 2 to swing over a larger range. Simultaneously, it can cause the flame simulator 2 to swing in different radial directions, giving it greater freedom of movement. Based on this, it is easier to achieve more random and realistic swinging of the flame simulator 2.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the rolling cavity 12 is a flat cavity with a disc-shaped structure, and the vertical height of the rolling cavity 12 is greater than its diameter. The height of the rolling cavity 12 is slightly greater than the diameter of the magnetic rolling element 32, allowing the magnetic rolling element 32 to move radially within the rolling cavity 12 without moving axially or jumping, thus avoiding noise generated by the jumping of the magnetic rolling element 32.

[0066] In one embodiment, the rolling cavity 12 may also be a flat square cavity or a cavity of other shapes, and the limiting magnetic rolling element 32 may also roll radially within the rolling cavity 12.

[0067] In one embodiment, when the flame simulator 2 is not swinging, it is in a vertical position under the influence of gravity. In this vertical position, the extension of the central axis of the flame simulator 2 passes through the middle of the rolling cavity 12, meaning the flame simulator 2 and the rolling cavity 12 are aligned along the axial direction of the housing 1. This arrangement ensures that the rolling center of the magnetic rolling element 32 coincides with the extension of the central axis of the flame simulator 2, allowing the magnetic rolling element 32 to roll outwards with the central axis of the flame simulator 2 as its center. This guarantees that the flame simulator 2 has the same maximum amplitude when swinging in different directions, preventing excessive swinging in any one direction and providing a better basis for the realism of the random swinging of the flame simulator 2.

[0068] In one embodiment, the bottom surface 153 of the rolling cavity 12 may include at least one of a curved surface, a plane, and an inclined surface. For example, the bottom surface 153 of the rolling cavity 12 is concave. The concave surface may be formed by an inwardly concave curved surface, or it may be formed by multiple inclined surfaces, or it may be formed by both curved surfaces and inclined surfaces. Under the action of gravity, the magnetic rolling element 32 will roll on the bottom surface 153 of the rolling cavity 12. When the bottom surface 153 of the rolling cavity 12 is concave, the gravity of the magnetic rolling element 32 can provide the inertial force for the rolling of the magnetic rolling element 32, which can further improve the randomness of the rolling of the magnetic rolling element 32.

[0069] The bottom surface 153 of the rolling cavity 12 can also be a plane or an inclined plane. The magnetic rolling element 32 can also achieve radial or near-radial rolling in the plane or inclined plane to drive the flame simulation element 2 to swing randomly.

[0070] In one embodiment, the bottom surface of the rolling cavity 12 is concave, and the lowest position of the bottom surface of the rolling cavity 12 is located in the middle of the bottom surface. This allows the magnetic rolling element 32 to eventually stop at the lowest position of the bottom surface of the rolling cavity 12 under the action of gravity after the electromagnetic drive is lost, that is, it will eventually stop at the middle position of the bottom surface of the rolling cavity 12. This allows the flame simulation element 2 to be in a vertical state, so as to ensure the aesthetics of the electronic candle when it is not in use.

[0071] In one embodiment, the first inner shell 151 serves as the base of the rolling cavity 12. The first inner shell 151 can be a flexible structure, and the bottom surface 153 of the rolling cavity 12 is concave. This concave surface is a flexible structure; for example, the first inner shell 151 can be made of elastic silicone. Alternatively, the first inner shell 151 may have a flexible layer forming the concave surface, meaning the concave surface of the rolling cavity 12 is a flexible structure. With this configuration, when the magnetic rolling element 32 rolls within the concave surface of the first inner shell 151, the concave surface of the flexible structure can absorb the impact of the magnetic rolling element 32, thus reducing shock and noise and optimizing the user experience.

[0072] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4and Figure 6 The electronic candle also includes a wick simulator 7. The wick simulator 7 is located at the lower end of the flame simulator 2. The wick simulator 7 is made of non-reflective or weakly reflective material. When the flame simulator 2 is lit by light, the wick simulator 7 does not reflect light or reflects very little light. When viewed from the outside, the wick simulator 7 appears black or dark relative to the flame simulator 2. This is the same as or similar to the black appearance of the burning part of the wick when the candle is burning. This allows the electronic candle to not only imitate the flame when the candle is burning, but also to imitate the black wick below the flame when the candle is burning, making the electronic candle more realistic and with a better visual effect.

[0073] The flame simulator 2 and the lamp wick simulator 7 are installed within the first mounting cavity 111. The entire flame simulator 2 and lamp wick simulator 7 are located within the first mounting cavity 111, and the housing 1 provides physical isolation and protection for them. Since the flame simulator 2 and lamp wick simulator 7 are located within the first mounting cavity 111, when a light source illuminates the flame simulator 2 to create a simulation effect, the sidewalls of the first mounting cavity 111 can provide a certain degree of reflection, allowing more light to reach the flame simulator 2 and increasing its brightness.

[0074] In other embodiments, the first mounting cavity 111 may also be an open cavity; or the flame simulator 2 and the wick simulator 7 may be mounted on the outside of the housing 1, thereby simulating the flame and wick of a candle.

[0075] The lamp wick simulator 7 is mounted on the connecting part 22 and located at the lower end of the flame part 21. Preferably, the lower end of the flame part 21 is provided with a groove 211, and part of the lamp wick simulator 7 is located in the groove 211, or the entire lamp wick simulator 7 is located in the groove 211, so that part or all of the lamp wick simulator 7 extends into the interior of the flame part 21. This can simulate the lamp wick being located inside the flame, resulting in a better simulation effect.

[0076] In other embodiments, the wick simulator 7 is located at the lower end of the flame part 21, and the wick simulator 7 abuts against the lower end of the flame part 21, which can simulate the presence of a wick below the flame and achieve a certain simulation effect.

[0077] In this embodiment, the wick simulator 7 can be made of a black material, such as black plastic or black glass, and the surface of the wick simulator 7 is not smooth but rough with diffuse reflection. The wick simulator 7 is black and has a diffuse reflective surface, exhibiting non-reflective or weakly reflective properties. When the flame part 21 is illuminated, the wick simulator 7 does not reflect light, making it appear black or dark, which closely resembles the black wick beneath the flame when a candle burns. This effectively mimics the candle wick and provides a high degree of realism.

[0078] In other embodiments, the outer layer of the wick simulator 7 is covered with a black layer and also has non-reflective or weakly reflective properties, which can imitate the wick of a candle.

[0079] In other embodiments, the wick simulator 7 can also be close to black, such as grayish-black, and can also mimic the wick of a candle.

[0080] In this embodiment, the wick simulator 7 can be cylindrical, spherical, or drum-shaped to mimic a lamp wick; the wick simulator 7 can also be other shapes that mimic the shape of a lamp wick. Correspondingly, the lower end of the flame simulator 2 has a corresponding groove, the groove structure of which is adapted to the wick simulator 7, for example, a semi-circular or hemispherical groove. The outer diameter of the wick simulator 7 is smaller than the width of the flame part 21, and the ratio of the outer diameter of the wick simulator 7 to the width of the flame part 21 is the same as or similar to the size ratio of the flame and wick on the candle, so that the combination of the flame part 21 and the wick simulator 7 of this electronic candle has higher simulation and is closer to the real candle flame and wick. The circular or spherical wick simulator 7 allows the flame simulator 2 to move more smoothly during the swaying process, and can avoid the wick simulator 7 from hindering the swaying of the flame simulator 2; in addition, the circular or spherical wick simulator 7 can also form a reflective light spot to improve the simulation effect.

[0081] The lamp wick simulator 7 has a through hole 71. The connecting part 22 is a soft wire structure made of metal or other materials. One end of the connecting part 22 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the flame part 21, and the other end of the connecting part 22 is fixedly connected to the magnetic follower 33. The connecting part 22 passes through the through hole 71 of the lamp wick simulator 7 and limits the lamp wick simulator 7. The lamp wick simulator 7 can be fixed to the connecting part 22 by snap-fit ​​or adhesive, or it can be fixed to the flame part 21 by snap-fit ​​or adhesive.

[0082] Since the flame simulator 2 floats in the liquid medium, the connecting part 22 mainly uses the gravity of the magnetic follower 33 to pull and fix it, keeping the bottom position of the flame simulator 2 unchanged, which is closer to the shape of a traditional candle flame. At the same time, the soft wire structure of the connecting part 22 can reduce other restrictions on the flame simulator 2, and can better transmit the force generated by the swing of the magnetic follower 33 to the flame simulator 2, reducing the loss of force transmission and further improving the simulation of the swinging and swaying of the flame simulator 2.

[0083] In other embodiments, the wick simulator 7 may be provided with other connection structures, such as a slot with a radial opening, or the wick simulator 7 may be mounted on the connecting part 22.

[0084] In this embodiment, the connecting part 22 is a rod-shaped structure, which can lengthen the distance between the flame part 21 and the magnetic follower 33, and form a longer lever arm, so that the flame part 21 can swing with a smaller applied force.

[0085] In this embodiment, the wick simulator 7 is located between the flame part 21 and the flame simulator support 4. The wick simulator 7 can be movably connected to the connecting part 22 and is clamped and fixed by the flame part 21 and the flame simulator support 4. The wick simulator 7 can also be fixedly connected to the flame part 21 or the connecting part 22, or the wick simulator 7 can be fixedly connected to the flame simulator support 4.

[0086] In one embodiment, the first mounting cavity 111 within the housing 1 is a liquid medium cavity. The liquid medium cavity is a sealed cavity filled with a liquid medium, preferably a liquid medium with good light transmittance to provide better illumination, especially to better mimic the lighting of a natural candle. For example, the liquid medium can include, but is not limited to, colorless water or colorless liquids such as silicone oil. The liquid medium can also be colored to meet the needs of special colored light illumination; for example, the liquid medium can be red or yellow to provide red or yellow light illumination. Phosphorescent powder or other substances can also be added to the liquid medium to enhance the illumination effect and meet the needs of different users.

[0087] The liquid medium cavity can be filled with liquid medium, which can prevent the formation of air bubbles in the liquid medium cavity and affect the lighting effect.

[0088] The flame simulator 2 is situated within a liquid medium. This liquid medium not only allows the flame simulator 2 to float and sway, but also creates movement within the liquid itself as it is tossed and swayed by the flame simulator 2. This dynamic liquid medium generates light spots, which, when positioned within the flame simulator 2, further enhance its realism. By combining principles of fluid mechanics and optics, the simulation mimics the dynamic form and lighting effects of a real flame, providing users with an immersive visual experience.

[0089] In other embodiments, an antifreeze agent may also be mixed into the liquid medium so that the electronic candle can be used in cold regions and the liquid medium can be prevented from freezing.

[0090] In other embodiments, the magnetic follower 33 is located in a liquid medium, and the outer layer of the magnetic follower 33 is provided with an anti-rust layer to prevent the magnetic follower 33 from rusting in the liquid medium.

[0091] The housing 1 may be provided with multiple structural components to form a liquid medium cavity, such as a cover plate, to achieve sealing and fixation after the liquid medium is filled into the liquid medium cavity. The housing 1 may also be provided with a liquid injection hole, through which the liquid medium is injected into the liquid medium cavity, and then the liquid injection hole is sealed by a sealing plug or sealant.

[0092] In this embodiment, the flame simulator 2 is installed inside the liquid medium cavity, and the flame simulator 2 is a flexible structure. Specifically, the flame part 21 of the flame simulator 2 is a flexible structure. The flame part 21 can be a sheet-like structure such as a metal sheet or a plastic sheet, or it can be a thin film structure such as tin foil, with several reinforcing strips on the thin film structure to maintain a certain rigidity of the flame part 21.

[0093] In this embodiment, the random drive component 3 is installed inside the second mounting cavity 112, that is, the random drive component 3 is installed outside the liquid medium cavity. This allows the liquid medium cavity to have a smaller spatial structure to accommodate the installation of the flame simulation component 2, reducing the complexity of the liquid medium cavity. This is beneficial for the miniaturization and simplification of the liquid medium cavity, reducing the amount of liquid medium filling, and facilitating installation and sealing. At the same time, since the random drive component 3 requires electric drive when working, isolating the random drive component 3 from the liquid medium can avoid the risk of short circuits and other malfunctions in the random drive component 3.

[0094] In other embodiments, the random drive component 3 may also be installed in other cavities or partially located on the outside of the housing 1, or the random drive component 3 may be installed on the outside of the liquid medium cavity to achieve isolation between the random drive component 3 and the liquid medium.

[0095] In other embodiments, the random drive assembly 3 may be installed entirely or partially inside the liquid medium cavity. For example, the random drive assembly 3 may be a mechanical drive mechanism. The transmission arm of the random drive assembly 3 or the entire random drive assembly 3 may be located inside the liquid medium cavity and connected to the connecting part 22, thereby enabling the drive of the flame simulation component 2.

[0096] In this embodiment, the flame simulator 2 is oscillatingly mounted inside the liquid medium cavity. The flame simulator 2 can be oscillatingly connected to the housing 1 via the connecting part 22, similar to a universal joint connection between the connecting part 22 and the housing 1. The flame simulator 2 can be set to oscillate within a 360° range, meaning the flame part 21 can oscillate and rotate. This configuration allows the reflective surface of the flame part 21 to oscillate to different orientations, such that initially, the two reflective surfaces of the flame part 21 face the front and rear sides, and after oscillation, the reflective surfaces face the left and right sides. The oscillating configuration of the flame simulator 2 allows it to oscillate after being driven by the random drive component 3. This oscillating motion of the flame simulator 2 better drives the flexible movement of the flame part 21, more closely resembling the swaying state of a real flame.

[0097] In other embodiments, the flame simulator 2 can only perform swinging motion. For example, the two reflective surfaces of the flame part 21 are oriented towards the front and rear sides. After subsequent swinging, the two reflective surfaces of the flame part 21 only swing in the pitch state of the front and rear sides. When the electronic candle with this structure emits light in a fixed direction, this structure can also form a good simulation effect.

[0098] In this embodiment, a flexible flame simulator 2 is provided and installed inside the liquid medium cavity. The flexible flame simulator 2 is located in the liquid medium. When the flame simulator 2 is driven, it will float in a wave-like manner within the liquid medium. The driving of the flame simulator 2 will also drive the flow of the liquid medium. The flowing liquid medium will then react on the flame simulator 2, pushing it to move. Under the push of the random drive component 3 and the liquid medium, the direction and force of the flexible flame simulator 2 swinging are more random, closer to the flame of a real candle, thus improving the simulation of the electronic candle flame.

[0099] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The electronic candle also includes a reflector 8, which is installed in the third mounting cavity 113.

[0100] The reflector 8 is located in the light path of the light source 6, while the flame simulator is located at the focal point of the reflection of the reflector 8. The light source 6 indirectly illuminates the flame simulator 2 through the reflector 8. The reflector 8 not only changes the path of the light, allowing the light source 6 to be placed in a more convenient installation position, simplifying and facilitating the installation of the light source 6, but also acts as a light-focusing device, concentrating the light emitted by the light source 6 onto the flame simulator 2, increasing the light concentration of the flame simulator 2. The flame simulator 2 can reflect higher intensity light for external lighting, resulting in better lighting effects.

[0101] The reflector 8 can be set as a spherical mirror or a cylindrical mirror. The reflector 8 can simultaneously illuminate the first and second flame surfaces of the flame simulator, achieving 360-degree or 180-degree illumination of the flame simulator. This allows a single light source 6 to simultaneously illuminate both sides of the flame simulator, resulting in better lighting effects.

[0102] Preferably, the reflector 8 is a spherical mirror, which can illuminate the flame simulator 2 from 360 degrees, so that the flame simulator 2 can be illuminated in any swing position.

[0103] The third mounting cavity 113 is equipped with a reflector bracket 81, which can be a cylindrical structure. One end or the outer periphery of the reflector bracket 81 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 by means of snap-fit, bonding, interference fit, etc. The reflector 8 is installed at the other end of the reflector bracket 81. The reflector bracket 81 is located between the light source 6 and the reflector 8. The illumination light emitted by the light source 6 passes through the reflector bracket 81 and shines on the reflector 8. The reflector 8 then reflects the illumination light, and the reflected illumination light passes through the reflector bracket 81 and enters the first mounting cavity 111. The reflector bracket 81, located between the light source 6 and the reflector 8, also serves as a light isolation mechanism, preventing the illumination light emitted by the light source 6 from entering other areas within the third mounting cavity 113. This facilitates the reflector 8 in reflecting and focusing the illumination light emitted by the light source 6 onto the flame part 21 of the flame simulator 2.

[0104] Preferably, the reflector 8 covers and seals one end of the reflector bracket 81, which can further prevent the illumination light emitted by the light source 6 from entering other areas within the third mounting cavity 113, and improve the reflector 8's ability to reflect and concentrate the illumination light emitted by the light source 6 onto the flame section 21.

[0105] In other embodiments, the reflector bracket 81 can also be of other structures. When the volume of the third mounting cavity 113 is relatively small, the reflector bracket 81 can adopt a hollow bracket structure, which can also fix the reflector 8. Furthermore, the light leakage rate of the illumination light emitted by the light source 6 is relatively low. The reflector 8 can also reflect and concentrate most of the illumination light emitted by the light source 6 onto the flame part 21, thereby improving the external illumination brightness of the flame part 21.

[0106] In other embodiments, the reflector bracket 81 and the light source mounting base 61 can be an integral structure, or the reflector bracket 81 can be mounted on the light source mounting base 61.

[0107] In this embodiment, the reflector 8 is a concave reflector. The concave spherical mirror has a light-concentrating function, which can focus the illumination light emitted by the light source 6 and then irradiate the flame part 21, thereby increasing the concentration of light on the flame part 21. The reflector 8 has a concave reflective surface formed by electroplating, sputtering, or other methods to improve the reflectivity of the reflector 8.

[0108] The flame simulator 2 is located at the focal point of the light path emitting illumination from the reflector 8. Preferably, the middle part of the flame 21 is located at the focal point of the light path emitting illumination from the reflector 8, which maximizes the concentration of illumination light emitted by the light source 6 onto the flame 21, thereby increasing the brightness of the flame 21's external illumination. Of course, other positions of the flame 21 located at the focal point of the light path emitting illumination from the reflector 8 can also concentrate the illumination light emitted by the light source 6 onto the flame 21, thereby increasing the brightness of the flame 21's external illumination.

[0109] In this embodiment, the reflector 8 is preferably a concave spherical mirror. The concave spherical mirror structure can illuminate the flame part 21 from the light source 6 in a 360° direction. Not only can the light be simultaneously illuminated on the flame part 21, but it can also ensure that the light is simultaneously illuminated on the flame part 21 at any position after it swings and rotates. This configuration not only ensures that the flame part 21 is illuminated from both sides, but also works in conjunction with the rotation and swing of the flame part 21, resulting in higher simulation accuracy.

[0110] In other embodiments, the reflector 8 can also be a concave curved mirror with a cylindrical surface structure. This curved mirror can direct the illumination light emitted by the light source 6 from the flame section 21 at a 180° angle onto the flame section 21. When the central axis of the curved mirror is located on the central surface of the flame section 21 (the surface between the two surfaces of the flame section 21), the curved mirror can simultaneously illuminate the reflective surface of the flame section 21 with the illumination light emitted by the light source 6. In this structure, the flame section 21 is relatively fixed and can swing, but cannot rotate along the axial direction, thus ensuring concentrated illumination from both sides of the flame section 21.

[0111] In this embodiment, the flame section 21, the light source 6, and the reflector 8 are arranged vertically and aligned along a central axis. The light source 6 is located between the flame section 21 and the reflector 8, avoiding the reflection focal point of the reflector 8, while the flame section 21 is positioned at the reflection focal point of the reflector 8. With this arrangement, the reflector 8 can reflect almost all the illumination light from the light source 6 onto the flame section 21, improving the concentration of light received by the flame section 21.

[0112] In other embodiments, the flame section 21, the light source 6, and the reflector 8 can also be slightly offset and aligned on a central axis, which can also improve the concentration of light received by the flame section 21.

[0113] In this embodiment, since the electronic candle with concentrated light is equipped with a reflector 8, the light source 6 does not directly emit illumination light onto the flame part 21, but indirectly illuminates the flame part 21 through the reflection of the reflector 8. The reflector 8 can not only change the illumination path of the illumination light, but also play a concentrating role, so that the light emitted by the light source 6 is focused onto the flame part 21, thereby increasing the light concentration of the flame part 21. The flame part 21 can reflect higher intensity light for external illumination, resulting in a better lighting effect.

[0114] In other embodiments, the flame section 21, the light source 6, and the reflector 8 can also be installed in the same mounting cavity. The reflector 8 can also focus and reflect the illumination light emitted by the light source 6 onto the flame section 21, thereby increasing the external illumination brightness of the flame section 21.

[0115] In other embodiments, a convex transmission mirror can also be installed in the third mounting cavity 113. The transmission mirror is installed between the light source 6 and the flame part 21. The convex transmission mirror can also focus the scattered light emitted by the light source 6 onto the flame part 21 and form a bright spot on the flame part 21, thereby improving the simulation of the electronic candle.

[0116] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the electronic candle is used for inverted hanging installation. A first housing 1a is located at the lower end of a second housing 1b. A connector 13 is provided on the outer top of the second housing 1b, used to suspend the electronic candle on an inverted lamp holder. The connector 13 may have a threaded connection structure and an electrical contact point, which can be electrically connected to a circuit board 311 via a cable or other structure. When the connector 13 is connected to the lamp holder, both physical and electrical connections are achieved. This type of electronic candle can be installed on a ceiling or wall.

[0117] In one embodiment, the connector 13 may also be provided with a physical connection structure such as a snap-fit ​​structure or a magnetic structure to fix the connector 13 to the lamp holder.

[0118] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the electronic candle is used for vertically upward mounting, with the first housing 1a located at the lower upper end of the second housing 1b.

[0119] In this embodiment, the first mounting cavity 111 is located at the top position inside the housing 1, the second mounting cavity 112 is located at the bottom position inside the housing 1, and the rolling cavity 12 is located between the first mounting cavity 111 and the second mounting cavity 112.

[0120] The flame simulator 2 is installed in the first mounting cavity 111, and the magnetic follower 33 is installed at the lower end of the flame simulator 2; the circuit board 311 and the electromagnetic coil 312 are installed in the second mounting cavity 112. The flame simulator 2 is located at the upper end of the housing 1, and the circuit board 311 and the electromagnetic coil 312 are located at the lower end of the housing 1. The electromagnetic coil 312 is located at the lower end of the magnetic rolling element 32 and at the upper end of the circuit board 311. The magnetic follower 33, the magnetic rolling element 32 and the electromagnetic coil 312 are arranged and installed sequentially from top to bottom, so that the electromagnetic coil 312 can drive the flame simulator 2 to swing randomly through the magnetic rolling element 32 and the magnetic follower 33 in sequence.

[0121] The lower end of the second housing 1b is provided with a connector 13, which is used to install the electronic candle vertically upward on the lamp holder. This type of electronic candle can be mounted on a table or other support or on a wall.

[0122] Preferably, the connector 13 is the same size as other conventional lamps, so that the electronic candle can be directly installed on the socket of conventional lamps, thus expanding the application scenarios of the electronic candle.

[0123] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The electronic candle with flame simulation component 2 located at the lower end of housing 1 and the electronic candle with flame simulation component 2 located at the upper end of housing 1 have the same appearance. Both electronic candles include a three-section structure, which is roughly divided into a transparent housing section, an opaque housing section, and a connector section connected in sequence. That is, the first housing 1a, the second housing 1b, and the connector section 13 are connected in sequence to form a three-section structure. This design allows the two electronic candles to have the same shape, which facilitates a unified design, reduces production costs, and improves aesthetics.

[0124] Figure 2 The aforementioned electronic candle and Figure 8 Compared to the other electronic candle shown, the distance between the magnetic scroll 32 and the magnetic follower 33 is longer. Figure 2 The circuit board 311 and electromagnetic coil 312 of the aforementioned electronic candle are configured to generate a stronger magnetic field to achieve a longer oscillation drive; correspondingly, Figure 8 Another electronic candle shown has a shorter distance between the magnetic roller 32 and the magnetic follower 33. The circuit board 311 and the electromagnetic coil 312 are configured to generate a relatively weaker magnetic field to satisfy the swing drive over a longer distance, while saving energy.

[0125] In one embodiment, the connector 13 can also be disposed on the side of the housing 1, and the connector 13 and the housing 1 form an L-shaped inverted T-shaped structure, which can also realize the physical installation and electrical connection of the electronic candle.
