Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of creative home furnishing technology, specifically to an ion lightning cup that uses an induction coil to excite gas. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional decorative lighting devices, such as neon lights or plasma spheres, typically suffer from problems such as large size, fixed structure, high power consumption, and low integration with everyday items. While plasma spheres can produce captivating lightning effects, as standalone display items, their interactive features are limited, and they are difficult to integrate with everyday objects such as cups, thus restricting their application scenarios and decorative practicality.

[0003] Existing luminescent ion lightning cups mostly use LED strips or fluorescent materials as light sources. Their light emission is static and monotonous, lacking the dynamic and dazzling visual effects of lightning, and failing to simulate the awe-inspiring beauty of electric arcs in nature. Furthermore, these technologies typically cannot demonstrate the unique physical phenomenon of gas ionization, thus lacking in scientific interest and visual impact. Therefore, this paper proposes an ion lightning cup that uses an induction coil to excite gas. Utility Model Content

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0012] This invention provides an ion lightning cup for induction coil-excited gas. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] Superior visual effects: This invention uses an induction coil to excite inert gas inside a cup to generate plasma, which can create a dazzling and dynamically changing "ion lightning" effect. The visual effect is stunning and has a strong sense of technology and art, far superior to traditional static light sources.

[0014] Safe and reliable: Employing a non-contact electromagnetic induction excitation method, the current does not directly pass through the cup body, making it safe for users to hold the ion lightning cup. Simultaneously, the heat dissipation holes on the side of the mounting box and the through holes in the base plate together form an effective heat dissipation channel, ensuring the stability of the circuitry during long-term operation and extending the product's lifespan.

[0015] Compact structure and high integration: By separating the cover plate (integrated coil) and the fixing box (integrated circuit) into a separate design, and placing the ion lightning cup on top of it, a clever combination of excitation device and cup is achieved. The overall structure is compact, does not take up too much space, and combines functionality and aesthetics.

[0016] Enhanced interactivity and fun: This product is not only a practical cup, but also an interesting scientific exhibit.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an ion lightning cup for induction coil-excited gas, comprising a fixed box 1, a cover plate 2, and an ion lightning cup 3. The cover plate 2 is disposed on top of the fixed box 1, and the ion lightning cup 3 is placed on top of the cover plate 2. The ion lightning cup 3 has an inner cavity 16 filled with an inert gas (such as argon or neon). The cover plate 2 includes a glass plate 8, a layer plate 9, and a bottom plate 10. The layer plate 9 is disposed between the glass plate 8 and the bottom plate 10 and is in close contact with the glass plate 8 and the bottom plate 10. A coil 13 is mounted on the surface of the layer plate 9. A circuit board 14 is mounted on one side of the interior of the fixed box 1, and the circuit board 14 is electrically connected to the coil 13. A power socket 4 provides a standardized external power input method; a switch knob 6 allows users to easily control the opening and closing of the device or adjust the output intensity (such as light brightness); and an indicator light 5 can intuitively display the working status of the device.

[0024] Further improvements include a power socket 4, an indicator light 5, and a switch knob 6 mounted on one side of the mounting box 1. These components are electrically connected to the circuit board 14. Several heat dissipation holes 7 are provided on the other three sides of the mounting box 1. These holes 7 allow for convection with the internal air, effectively dissipating the large amount of heat generated by the circuit board 14 and the high-frequency, high-voltage power supply during operation. This significantly reduces the operating temperature of the core electronic components, greatly improving the long-term operational stability and lifespan of the product, and preventing damage due to overheating.

[0025] Further improvements include a vertically installed fixing tube 15 inside the fixing box 1, near the corners. Mounting holes 12 are respectively provided at the corners of the glass plate 8, shelf 9, and base plate 10, and bolts are used to connect them to the fixing tube 15. Through the connection of the fixing tube 15 and bolts, the glass plate 8, shelf 9, and base plate 10 are tightly fixed together, forming a robust, integrated cover plate 2 structure. This ensures that the shelves 9 will not shift due to vibration or handling, and in particular, protects the coils 13 on the shelves 9 from loosening or damage. This detachable connection method makes the cover plate 2 assembly a self-contained module. When cleaning, replacing the coils 13, or repairing the internal parts are required, the cover plate 2 can be easily removed from the fixing box 1, greatly facilitating later maintenance and upkeep.

[0026] Further improvements include a plurality of through holes 11 on the surface of the base plate 10. These through holes 11, in conjunction with the heat dissipation holes 7 on the side of the mounting box 1, form an effective heat dissipation channel that draws in air from the bottom and sides and exhausts heat upwards or in other directions. This enhances the efficiency of convective heat dissipation, and is particularly helpful in removing the heat generated by the coil 13 during operation, ensuring that the entire system remains within a good operating temperature range.

[0027] Working Principle: The user connects to the power socket 4 on the mounting box 1 via an external power cord and turns on the switch knob 6. The indicator light 5 illuminates, indicating that the device is powered on. The circuit board 14 inside the mounting box 1 begins to operate. The circuit board 14 converts the input ordinary low-voltage DC or AC power into a high-frequency, high-voltage alternating current. This high-frequency, high-voltage alternating current is delivered to the coil 13 mounted on the surface of the shelf 9. The alternating current flowing through the coil 13 generates a powerful, rapidly changing alternating magnetic field around it. This magnetic field can penetrate the glass plate 8 above. The ion lightning cup 3, placed on top of the cover plate 2, has its inner cavity 16 filled with a specific proportion of inert gas. When the alternating magnetic field penetrates the bottom of the cup and acts on the gas inside, the electrons in the gas molecules gain enormous energy under the influence of the strong alternating electric field, thus breaking free from the atomic nucleus and ionizing. After a large number of gas molecules are ionized, a plasma composed of free electrons, ions, and neutral particles is formed. Electrons excited to high energy levels are in an unstable state. When they spontaneously transition back to lower energy levels, their excess energy is released as photons. Different types of inert gases have different atomic energy level structures, resulting in different wavelengths of the released photons (i.e., the color of the light). For example, neon emits orange-red light, while argon emits blue-violet light. This creates the dazzling, lightning-like plasma light effect we see in the cup. When you touch the ion lightning cup, your body acts as a conductor, altering the electric field distribution within the cup. Due to the difference between the body's potential and the cup's electric field, charges redistribute, and the ionization path changes accordingly. The light then focuses at the point of contact with your finger, forming a dynamic beam of light that follows your finger's movement. A capacitive effect exists between the body and the ion lightning cup 3. When your finger approaches or touches the ion lightning cup 3, it's like connecting a capacitor, affecting the electric field and current distribution in the circuit. This causes corresponding changes in the generation and distribution of plasma, creating a unique visual effect.

[0028] The components of this utility model are: 1. Fixing box; 2. Cover plate; 3. Ion lightning cup; 4. Power socket; 5. Indicator light; 6. Switch knob; 7. Heat dissipation hole; 8. Glass plate; 9. Shelf; 10. Base plate; 11. Through hole; 12. Mounting hole; 13. Coil; 14. Circuit board; 15. Fixing tube; 16. Inner cavity. All components are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. The problem solved by this utility model is that existing luminescent ion lightning cups 3 mostly use LED light strips or fluorescent materials as light sources. Their light emission form is static and single, lacking the dynamic and gorgeous visual effect of lightning, and cannot simulate the shocking beauty of electric arcs in nature. Furthermore, these technologies typically fail to demonstrate the unique physical phenomenon of gas ionization, lacking in scientific interest and visual impact. This invention, through the combination of the aforementioned components, uses an induction coil 13 to excite the inert gas inside the cup to generate plasma, creating a dazzling and dynamically changing "ion lightning" effect. The visual effect is stunning and possesses a strong sense of technology and artistry, far superior to traditional static light sources. Employing a non-contact electromagnetic induction excitation method, the current does not directly pass through the cup body, making it safe for users to hold the ion lightning cup 3. Simultaneously, the heat dissipation holes 7 on the side of the fixing box 1 and the through holes 11 on the base plate 10 together form an effective heat dissipation channel, ensuring the stability of the circuit during long-term operation and extending the product's lifespan.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
