The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. The electronic candle comprises: a main body 1 and a body 2, wherein the main body 1 comprises: a casing 11 having a hollow receiving space inside, and a candle flame-shaped cover body 111 and a plurality of air holes on the outside 112, the candle flame type cover 111 is made of a transparent or translucent light transmissive material, and the plurality of air holes 112 are disposed around the candle flame type cover 111; a circuit module 12 is accommodated in the The housing 11 includes an illuminant 121 and a micro switch. The illuminator 121 includes at least one light emitting diode and is received in the candle flame cover 111. Approximating the actual shape of the candle, the micro switch is a micro pressure sensing switch; the base 2 is provided with a concave space for accommodating the main body 1; the main body 1 further includes a receiving portion 13 and the The circuit module 12 is joined and can be accommodated At least one power supply component is provided to supply a power source, and the power supply component can be a battery; the main body 1 also includes a bottom cover 14 engageable with the receiving portion 13 to cover the power supply component In the accommodating portion 13. After the housing 11 , the circuit module 12 , the accommodating portion 13 and the bottom cover 14 are sequentially joined, the housing 11 can be placed in the concave space of the base 2 to form the electronic device of the present invention. candle.

As shown in FIG. 4, the illuminant 121 is connected to the control circuit 122, and the control circuit 122 controls the illuminating, and the candle is made like a traditional burning candle by the candle-shaped hood. The light of the flame is bright. In the embodiment, the illuminant 121 includes two light emitting diodes D1, D2. The control circuit 122 includes a power supply circuit and a micro switch S1 for controlling the power supply circuit to supply power to the illuminator 121. The power supply of the power supply circuit is connected to the base of the first transistor Q1 via the first resistor R1 and the capacitor C1, and the collector of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the base of the second transistor Q2, and the second three poles The collector of the transistor Q2 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the first amplifier U1, and the negative voltage input terminal of the first amplifier U1 is connected to the anodes of the LEDs D1, D2. The cathodes of the LEDs D1, D2 are connected to the switch S2 terminal directly or via the second resistor R2, and the other end of the plug switch S2 is grounded. The output of the first amplifier U1, the emitter of the first transistor Q1, and the emitter of the second transistor Q2 are grounded via the switch S2. The micro switch S1 is terminated between the first resistor R1 and the capacitor C1, and the other end is grounded via the plug switch S2. In this embodiment, the position of the micro switch S1 corresponds to the plurality of air holes, that is, the air flow can touch the micro switch S1 through the air hole, and the power supply component can be placed in the receiving portion.
