Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of candle products, and in particular to a spherical scented candle. Background Technology

[0002] Scented candles are a type of decorative candle, with a wide variety of shapes and beautiful colors. They contain natural plant essential oils that emit a pleasant fragrance when burned, and have the effects of beauty and health care, soothing nerves, purifying the air, and eliminating odors.

[0003] Currently, scented candles mainly consist of a candlestick, a wax block placed inside the candlestick, and a wick inside the wax block. The wax block contains plant essential oils to release the fragrance. To use, simply place the candle in the desired location and light it. Most existing wax blocks are solid blocks or traditional solid cylindrical structures. Because the wick melts first in the area of ​​the wax block closest to the flame, in actual use, the top of the wax block near the wick melts first, forming a groove, and then gradually melts outwards. In this process, the space around the wick is initially limited, which can easily lead to a relatively insufficient oxygen content. After the outer wax block melts, the space suddenly increases, and the oxygen content becomes relatively sufficient, causing the flame to flicker. This results in an unstable fragrance effect, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. In addition, this type of wax block structure allows the wax to overflow only from the outside of the wax block during combustion, which can easily drip onto external objects or condense on the wax block, affecting its appearance. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a spherical scented candle, which helps to solve the problems of some current scented candles having inconsistent flame brightness, unstable fragrance effect, and safety hazards and aesthetic impact due to wax overflow caused by their solid structure.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A spherical scented candle includes a wax block body with a spherical shell structure. The wax block body is composed of a surface layer, a middle layer, a wick layer, and an inner layer. The surface layer, middle layer, and inner layer are made of wax and fragrance material. The inner layer has a cavity inside. A wick is wrapped inside the wick layer. One end of the wick passes through the top of the wax block body and extends to the outside of the wax block body.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the surface layer and the middle layer are respectively formed by bonding two hemispherical shells.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the openings of the upper and lower hemispherical shells of the middle layer are provided with annular convex rings, and the two convex rings are bonded together on adjacent sides to form an annular radially outward convex edge.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the inner layer is formed by solidifying wax oil, and the inner layer forms a wrapping structure inside the lamp wick.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the outer end face of the surface layer is provided with a decorative structure.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the lamp wick has a spiral structure.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the middle layer or surface layer is provided with several thin-walled regions distributed at intervals, and the thickness of the thin-walled regions is less than the thickness of their main body regions.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0014] 1. This utility model, by setting the main body of the wax block into a hollow spherical shell structure, allows the internal space to communicate with the external space after the wick burns, effectively improving the air circulation during candle burning. This provides sufficient oxygen, enabling the flame to burn stably and avoiding the flickering phenomenon of traditional candles. The stable flame ensures the uniform volatilization of essential oils and other fragrance ingredients, thus achieving a long-lasting and stable fragrance effect and providing users with a more comfortable and pleasant fragrance environment.

[0015] 2. This utility model features a spherical shell structure for the wax block body, with an internal cavity. This allows the wax from the upper part of the wax block body to drip into the bottom of the cavity during combustion, creating an inward collection effect and reducing the possibility of wax spilling onto external objects. This not only avoids damage and safety hazards caused by wax spills to external objects but also maintains the candle's aesthetically pleasing and clean appearance, extending its lifespan and decorative value.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Example 1: Combination Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment discloses a spherical scented candle to effectively solve the problems of inconsistent flame brightness, unstable aromatherapy, and wax overflow posing safety hazards and affecting the aesthetics of some current scented candles due to their solid structure. Through a unique structural design, it achieves stable burning, a long-lasting and uniform aromatherapy effect, while improving the overall aesthetics and safety of the candle, providing users with a higher quality and more comfortable aromatherapy experience.

[0029] In this example, the spherical scented candle specifically includes a wax block body 100 with a spherical shell structure. Its novel shape gives it a unique aesthetic appeal and provides better air circulation during the subsequent burning process, thus providing the basic conditions for stable burning of the candle.

[0030] Combination Figure 2 , 3 5. The main body 100 of the wax block is composed of a surface layer 110, a middle layer 120, a wick layer 130, and an inner layer 140. These layers work together to achieve the candle's superior performance. The surface layer 110, middle layer 120, and inner layer 140 are all made of wax (specifically beeswax or soy wax) and fragrance materials (specifically plant oils, fragrances, etc.). This material selection ensures that the candle continuously and stably releases plant essential oils during combustion, guaranteeing the longevity of the fragrance effect. Furthermore, the different layers of fragrance materials can be combined and adjusted according to actual needs to achieve diverse fragrance combinations and effects.

[0031] Furthermore, in combination Figure 4 As shown, the middle layer 120 and the top layer 110 are first formed into hemispherical shell structures using molds, and then the upper and lower hemispherical shells are thermally fused together. This design facilitates candle manufacturing and assembly, improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, the precise bonding process ensures a tight seal between the two hemispherical shells, preventing wax leakage and uneven air entry, thus guaranteeing the candle's combustion performance and appearance quality.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the openings of the upper and lower hemispherical shells of the middle layer 120 are provided with annular protruding rings 122. After the adjacent sides of the two protruding rings 122 are bonded together, they form an annular radially outward protruding edge 121. The design of the protruding edge 121 not only increases the bonding stability of the middle layer 120 itself, but also provides a tighter connection foundation for the composite of the surface layer 110, thereby increasing the overall structural strength of the candle and improving its resistance to damage. Moreover, during the burning process, the protruding edge 121 can guide the flow of wax, allowing the wax to flow more orderly along the protruding edge 121 into the cavity of the inner layer 140, reducing the possibility of wax overflowing to the outside.

[0033] A wick 200 is wound inside the wick layer 130. One end of the wick 200 passes through the top of the wax block body 100 and extends to the outside of the wax block body 100. The outer end of the wick is used for ignition and combustion. This arrangement of the wick ensures that the wick 200 has sufficient contact with air, achieving stable combustion. Furthermore, combined with… Figure 7As shown, the wick 200 has a spiral structure. This special shape can fully cover the wax block body 100 in each area, allowing the wax block body 100 to be consumed stably from top to bottom. At the same time, the spiral wick 200 can better guide the wax oil to rise and burn during the combustion process, reducing uneven flow and overflow of wax oil.

[0034] The inner layer 140 is formed by solidified wax oil, and it forms a wrapping structure inside the wick 200. This wrapping structure further stabilizes the position of the wick 200 and is key to maintaining its spiral structure. This wrapping structure prevents the wick 200 from shifting due to the flow of wax oil during combustion, ensuring that the flame is always in the optimal combustion position. At the same time, the wax oil in the inner layer 140 continuously provides fuel to the wick 200 during combustion, ensuring the continuity and stability of combustion.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner layer 140 has a cavity inside, a design that is one of the key innovations of this invention. The presence of the cavity alters the internal pressure and airflow path during candle combustion, providing a more stable combustion environment for the wick 200. During combustion, air can enter the vicinity of the wick 200 more evenly, avoiding flame instability caused by insufficient or excessive local oxygen supply. Simultaneously, combined with... Figure 6 As shown, the cavity can also store a certain amount of wax. Especially when the upper part of the wax block 100 is burning, an accumulation area 400 forms at the bottom of the cavity. The wax can drip into this accumulation area 400, creating an inward collection effect and reducing the possibility of wax spilling onto external objects. This not only avoids damage and safety hazards to external objects from the wax, but also maintains the candle's beautiful and clean appearance, extending its lifespan and decorative value.

[0036] In this embodiment, the outer end face of the surface layer 110 is a smooth end face structure. In other embodiments, the outer end face of the surface layer 110 is provided with decorative structures, such as embossed patterns, flange shapes, etc. These decorative structures can be customized according to different design requirements and user preferences, and can also be handmade, such as carving exquisite patterns, inlaying colored gemstones, or affixing exquisite stickers. The setting of decorative structures not only enhances the aesthetics of the candle, making it a decorative item with artistic value, but also meets users' needs for personalized products and increases the product's market competitiveness.

[0037] In the specific implementation process, two hemispherical shells are each made using modules for the middle layer 120 and the surface layer 110. The wick 200 is manually wound in a spiral shape onto the inner wall of the hemispherical shell of the middle layer 120. It should be noted that it is first wound onto the inner wall of one hemispherical shell. During this process, the wick 200 can be pre-fixed by immersing it in wax. After the wiring is completed, an appropriate amount of wax is poured in and shaken evenly to ensure that the wax flows evenly to all areas of the inner wall of the hemispherical shell of the middle layer 120. After it solidifies, the inner layer 140 is obtained. Then, the remaining section of the wick 200 is wound and wired to the inner wall of the other hemispherical shell of the middle layer 120, and the inner layer 140 is generated using the same method. The two hemispherical shells are then heat-fused together. Finally, the two hemispherical shells of the surface layer 110 are glued to the outside of the middle layer 120 to obtain the finished product. It should be noted that the top of the middle layer 120 and the surface layer 110 are provided with through holes for the outer end of the wick 200 to pass through to the outside.

[0038] When in use, the outer end of the wick 200 is lit, and the wax block 100 in the outer area of ​​the wick 200 melts into wax oil. Some unburned wax oil drips or flows to the accumulation area 400 at the bottom of the inner cavity 300 and gradually solidifies into wax. As the wick 200 moves along its wiring path, the wax block 100 melts gradually from top to bottom. During this process, the presence of the inner cavity 300 ensures a stable flame, preventing flickering. The stable flame ensures the even evaporation of the plant essential oils, thus achieving a long-lasting and stable aromatherapy effect and providing users with a more comfortable and pleasant aromatherapy environment.

[0039] Example 2: Based on Example 1, combined with Figure 8 As shown in this embodiment, the middle layer 120 or the surface layer 110 is provided with several thin-walled regions 500 spaced apart. The thickness of the thin-walled region 500 is less than the thickness of its main body region. For example, if the thickness of the main body region is 8 mm, the thickness of the thin-walled region 500 is 3 mm. The design of the thin-walled region 500 has multiple functions. On the one hand, during combustion, the thin-walled region 500 can melt faster, providing more entry channels for air, promoting air circulation, and further improving the combustion stability of the flame. On the other hand, since the wick 200 sequentially covers each thin-walled region 500, when the wick 200 burns to the thin-walled region 500, the candle at that point melts rapidly, freeing up a suitable length of wick 200. This avoids the phenomenon that the flame is small due to insufficient burning end length of the wick 200, providing good support for the stable combustion of the candle. Moreover, the setting of the thin-walled region 500 can also adjust the burning speed and aroma release intensity of the candle as needed, achieving a more personalized user experience.

[0040] This spherical scented candle offers significant design flexibility in its layer structure and decoration, allowing for diverse customization to meet varying user needs and market positioning. For example, adjusting the types and proportions of fragrance ingredients creates different scent combinations; altering the surface decorative structure (110) and the distribution of the thin-walled zone (500) creates unique aesthetic effects. This personalized customization capability helps meet the needs of different user groups and expands the product's market reach.
