Detachable Electronic Module for Imitation Candle Remote Control

The patent divides the electronic control system into a permanent base unit and a detachable electronic module. The module can be removed or replaced without affecting the main candle body, allowing different functionality configurations while maintaining simplicity of the core device.

The detachable electronic module serves multiple purposes: it provides remote control capability via wireless communication interfaces (Bluetooth, WiFi), enables timer functions, and allows adjustment of light effects. This single component delivers diverse functionalities that would otherwise require separate systems.

The electronic module is designed to nest within a dedicated cavity in the candle body. The module fits precisely into this recessed space, utilizing the internal volume efficiently without protruding or increasing the external dimensions of the candle.

Instead of adding the electronic module externally which would increase volume, the patent incorporates it within an internal cavity, transitioning from external addition to internal integration. This maintains the original external form factor while adding functionality.

The patent introduces engagement elements (such as guide pins, snap-fit features, or magnetic components) at the connection interface between the module and candle body. These intermediaries facilitate easy alignment and secure attachment while compensating for minor dimensional variations, reducing the stringency of manufacturing precision requirements.

By making the electronic module detachable rather than permanently integrated, the patent simplifies operations for users who can easily insert or remove the module. The separation of the module from the permanent structure enables straightforward handling and sharing across different devices.
