The specific embodiment
The utility model comprises that generation moved device and the method for manufacturing and this device of use of the illumination effect of driving by true, irregular and physics.The existing apparatus of attempting the simulation flickering flame uses through modulation usually or controlled moves simulating flame, but these devices can only produce less-than-ideal result, in part because the complexity of natural flame is difficult to imitate or simulate.Selectively, some prior aries are attempted intensity, color and/or other characteristics of control or modulated light source, and such as passing through flicker, this has also produced unrealistic result.The ground that compares, the utility model promotes and/or disturbs the complicacy between gravity, quality, electromagnetic field intensity, magnetic field, air drag and the light to interact, but this complex interactions is not by directly modulation or control.Therefore, move the light that can produce the dynamic or random light output of reproducing flickering flame with light according to what the system of the utility model generated convincingly.
The utility model can be adjusted and be suitable for very large-scale form factor/factor (form factor) thereby the requirement of satisfying application-specific.Fig. 1 illustrates the embodiment of the candle light of an independent flame, and the embodiment of Fig. 3-6 illustrate with the lamp be the basis form factor, can be used as bulb alternative with many traditional lighting fixtures.Thereby the ratio of the embodiment of the utility model can change function and the aesthetic demands that satisfies certain application cases.Power supply described herein can provide through battery, AC/DC power supply, solar cell or other available power sources.Though the utility model comprises the complicacy between many power and interacts that in general preferably, the element of the utility model can implement to be used to promote reliability of products and long-life fully.Therefore, though described the specific strong structure and the instantiation of parts here, the complexity of actual embodiment can change.
Fig. 1 illustrates the cut-away, perspective view according to the embodiment of the kinetic flame device 100 of the utility model; The conventional waxes system of being similar to candle light; Such as pillar, candlewick, container candle, the light of redeeming a vow to a god (votive), tea light (tea light) etc., depend on the ratio and the size of application-specific.Fig. 1 illustrates two easily manufactured level assemblies, but the utility model can be embodied as whole single level main body, adopts two-stage shown in Figure 1, perhaps under the situation of needs, can adopt three grades or more multistage.Extra level can influence scope, speed and the easy variability of the form factor and the light that produces.Level can decay according to the particular geometric size of the element in a specific order or amplify these characteristics.
Driving mechanism (or electrically driving mobile engine (engine)) 101 is set, as producing the magnetic field that changes along with the time, M
1, this mechanism can adopt various forms, such as coil shown in Figure 1.Driving mechanism or coil 101 at the base portion place of the embodiment of Fig. 1 comprise the coil that twines curve, and it can use the conductive electric wire that for example is coated with insulator to form.The winding of coil 101 can keep the location through line being remained to the adhesive tape, adhesive, epoxy resin or the other materials (not shown) that are required form together.Coil 101 can be that general circle shown in Figure 1 or any other make things convenient for shape, such as perhaps irregular shape of oval, square, triangle.Coil 101 can have the space/blank of air core or hollow, and is as shown in Figure 1, perhaps can use the magnetic core, such as iron, ferroalloy, ferrite, permalloy and other available magnetic core materials.This iron core can be located at the general center of coil 101, adopts the shape of general cylindrical or under certain application cases, departs from the center with different or similar shape.
In certain embodiments; The permanent magnet (not shown) can be integrated in the coil 101, be arranged on the surface of coil 101 or adopt alternate manner adjacent to coil 101 thereby the magnetic field that provides static to be set, and this static magnetic field is accumulated (as shown in Figure 2) along with what produce during by energy supply when coil 101 along with the electromagnetic field of time change.Though independent one coil 101 is illustrated among Fig. 1; But can consider also can use two or more independent or synchronous energy supply coils; Central axis around the candle light device (for example distributes symmetrical or asymmetricly; Extend up through the axis of first order shell 102 and second level shell 104, pass pendulum or tilting member 111,121 in some cases), thus complex magnetic produced; But this complexity of controlling magnetic field shape possibly make the result who returns diminish gradually perhaps even influence the compellent result who is produced by an independent coil embodiment shown in Figure 1 unfriendly with attempting clearly.
In operation, thus coil 101 produces the magnetic field M along with the time change by the electric current energy supply that changes along with the time coil 101 near
1In certain embodiments, core material is used to focus on and guide the magnetic field that produced and corresponding to the operation change power demand of the utility model.In identical or other embodiment, thus permanent magnet uses in coil 101 or near the magnetic field M that changes along with the time that producing by energy supply coil 101
1Static magnetic field of last stack.This extra static magnetic field can be used for changing that power requires and optionally change or limit near the magnetic field M the coil 101
1Shape.
The first order 103 is used for the electromagnetic field M along with the time change by coil 101 generations
1Change into and dynamically move D1
DynamicallyThe first order 103 is located such that its base portion is in the electromagnetic field M that is produced by coil 101 at least
1In, as magnetic field M
1When existing, the element magnetic in the first order 103 is connected to coil 101.Specifically, the magnet 114 of locating or be installed in pendulum or first order pendulum parts 111 lower ends is in the electromagnetic field M that changes along with the time
1In.Magnet 114 preferably adopts the minitype permanent-magnet with enough magnetic field intensities, in response to through with the electromagnetic field M that changes along with the time that produces by coil 101
1The interaction of carrying out and the repulsive force or the attraction that produce move, and make pendulum parts 111 produce displacement with random or dynamic mode, like arrow D1
DynamicallyShown in.For example; Pendulum parts 111 can have elongated main body; Such as the thin planar design with rectangle, ellipse or other shape, (for example, width is about 0.25 to 2 inch wide plastics rectangle can to adopt plastics or other non-iron-bearing materials formation; Length is about 0.5 to 4 inch, and thickness be 0.2 inch or still less).Displacement D1
DynamicallyRealize the utility model thereby can in very large range change, but can adopt random form, leave initial point or stop place and carry out 0.5 inch or more moving with any direction.
Though the utility model is operated with any polarity alignment of magnet 114; Thereby but the polarity alignment of the polarity of magnet 114 alignment and the electromagnetic field that produces by coil 101 coordinated or select to produce required result or bottom or first order pendulum parts 111 dynamically move/displacement D1
DynamicallyFor example; When coil 101 produces towards last arctic; The alignment magnet 114 (can be described as first or lower magnet of bottom pendulum parts here) that has the prone South Pole so will increase the net positive suction head adhesion; And the alignment magnet 114 with prone arctic will increase the clean adhesion of repelling, and arbitrary structure all can be used among some embodiment of device 100.To attract adhesion mixing between the adhesion to have predictable effect and be suitable perhaps needs in certain applications with repelling with an angular alignment magnet 114.Rare earths permanent magnet, ferrimagnet, ceramagnet etc. are applicable to magnet 114.Also can attractability be incorporated into the Ferrite Material alternate magnets 114 of electromagnetic field.
The shape of the first order or lower case 102 can be substantially in a tubular form, and sidewall limits inner space or blank to hold bottom pendulum parts 111 and to be used for magnetic field/magnetic force M
1Interacting space or the lower magnet 114 of zone and pendulum parts 111.Shell 102 can have by plastics, glass, pottery, molded epoxy resin maybe can form the sidewall that the other materials corresponding to the required form of application-specific forms.Shell 102 can comprise metal in some cases, but some metals may have influence on electromagnetic field.But shell 102 as shown in the figure can every end all be open wide or at one end be open wide or can adopt magnetic penetration material such as glass, plastics etc. in some cases and in the upper end and/or the lower end sealed.Thereby the first order or lower case 102 can and/or can and comprise that thereby air or liquid are handled by vacuum seal by sealing or the buffering of control pendulum 111 in response to magnetic field M from coil 101 inputs
1And obtain the dynamic or random displacement of required response/move D1
DynamicallyIn some cases; First order shell 102, pendulum 111 and supporting member 113 also can be considered to or be called bonded block; It is arranged in driving mechanism or the mobile engine 101 and (perhaps is connected to this mechanism; Engine or coil), and extraly, the second pendulum parts 121 with and flame contours (silhouette) 125 can be considered to the flame main body.
Bottom or first order pendulum parts 111 are installed in the supporting member that is arranged in the first order shell 102 pivotally or are supported pivotally by this supporting member.This pivot supporting can adopt multiple mode to be arranged to allow pendulum to center on pivotal point or dynamic displacement D1 is carried out in the installation site
DynamicallyFor example, but as restriction, pendulum parts 111 can have and form the pivoting hole 112 that allows pendulum supporting member 113 to pass such as bar, axle, line, silk etc.In certain embodiments; Supporting member 113 is flexible and/or has range or the span that allows it to move along with parts 111 of the supporting that pivots; For example; Flexible silk or line, can sidepiece-to-move a certain amount of (being not to strain fully) sidepiece thus more irregular movement is directed to bottom pendulum parts 111.For example; Supporting member 113 can be flexible electric wire, line or silk thread; Length is greater than the diameter (the perhaps distance between the sidewall of shell 102) of shell, makes it have some play or lax, allows it (for example to move away its stop or home position along any direction; Move 360 degree and leave stop place one segment distance perhaps such as 0.5 inch or bigger displacement, but usually less than about 0.25 inch).But in other embodiments, preferably supporting member 113 is rigidity or semirigid, and not along with pendulum parts 111 move.
Thereby the wall portion that pendulum supporting-line 113 is connected to shell 102 supports in the position at the center that is chosen to be the hollow space that pendulum 111 general location are limited in the wall portion on shell 102, makes diameter when supporting-line 113 has circular cross section across excessive shell 102.In some preferred embodiments; Supporting member 113 can comprise rigidity or semirigid line; Thereby such as steel or steel alloy line or bar and preferably through bending form in the position that is needing pendulum 111 to stop low spot (for example, the installation site of the end of line 113 can be online 113 low, central point or pivot supporting part top about 0.1 to 0.5 inch or more).Hole 112 in the pendulum parts 111 is fully greater than the diameter of supporting-line 112, makes pendulum 111 around supporting-line 113 swings or freely pivot, but remains on identical substantially position and direction simultaneously, only if pendulum 111 receives electromagnetic field M
1Interference.Adopt this mode, D1 can be moved with pendulum in the top of pendulum parts 111 in the scope of cardinal principle taper
DynamicallyAnd move forward and backward, adopt hole 112 as the summit, and can wave.
The minitype permanent-magnet 115 that its composition is similar to magnet 114 and is aligned in magnet 114 is positioned at the upper end of pendulum 111, for example, and between the upside or edge of hole 112 and pendulum parts 111.Pendulum parts 111 with respect to the size of shell 102 make its in shell 102 around on the summit in the supporting-line 113, have a down dip, pivot position that low spot or depression limit is freely mobile.In a particular embodiment, the length of pendulum 111 is chosen as and makes that the bottom of pendulum 111 is positioned at above the lowermost portion of wall 102 when as shown in Figure 1 the assembling, and the top of pendulum 111 is lower than the highest part of wall 102.This OILS STRUCTURE DEPRESSION or prevent between the element in the first order 103 and the second level 105 to produce between mechanical interaction and pendulum 111 and the coil 101 and produce mechanical interaction.Though can tolerate some mechanical interactions, through preventing mechanical interaction, final result or dynamic flame effect are considered to more stably, simultaneously more dynamically/arbitrarily and be similar to actual conditions.
In operation, electromagnetic field makes magnet 114 repel ground mutually or moves mutually with attracting.That moves D1
DynamicallyChanged through the pendulum 111 that is fixed with magnet 114.The scope that moves of the lower end of pendulum 111 is greater than the scope that moves of the upper end of pendulum 111, and its degree is confirmed (for example, corresponding to the D1 of pendulum 111 by the position in hole 112
DynamicallyCan be considered to have bottom component and top component, the twice that this bottom component is the top component or four times etc.).Gravity trends towards pendulum 111 is back to vertical position, and the electromagnetic field M that changes along with the time
1Can disturb pendulum 111 constantly and can be used for preventing to be back to vertical position and be in stable state.In the particular instance of using sinusoidal change electromagnetic field, pendulum 111 suitable high energy ground are swung around, along random direction, have the different displacement amplitude, D1
Dynamically
The air drag that acts on the surf zone of pendulum 111 can cushion moving of pendulum 111.Therefore, thus the size and dimension of pendulum 111 can be changed the speed and the degree that dynamically move that provides application-specific required.In certain embodiments; The control air resistance through the parts 111 that use more irregular shape such as hourglass shape; In other cases, thus through providing one or more netted or porous parts to allow air to flow through the main body control air decay of parts 111.In other cases, the bottom of pendulum parts 111 can form heavier, thereby has required and adjustable dynamic moving/displacement of more surface area/quality or extra interpolation weight realization parts 111, D1
Dynamically
The second level 105 comprises shell 104; This shell preferably has composition and the size that is substantially similar to shell 102, make level 103 and 105 (perhaps corresponding shells 102,104) thus can mate or connect together and form candle light or apparatus main body with independent or overall appearance.The second level 105 generally be used for being connected to pendulum 111 mobile upper end dynamic power and that dynamic power is converted into moving of flame contours element or ennation 125.The structure of the second level 105 and class of operation are similar to the first order 103.Higher level's pendulum parts 121 are shorter than the length of shell 104 a little, for example install pivotally in certain embodiments rigidity or the semi-rigid line etc. at pendulum supporting member 123 via pivoting hole 122, have lower support part or zone at the center of element 123.Supporting member 123 is mounted to the sidewall (upper edge such as at the sidewall at relative position place strides across space or the blank that limits in the sidewall that is limited to shell 104 with stretching) of shell 104 at every end place.First or lower magnet 124 (being similar to composition, size and the alignment thereof of second or upper magnet 115 of first or lower magnet 114 and the first order pendulum parts of first order pendulum parts 111, as indicated above) be installed in bottom (or first) part or the place, end of pendulum parts 121.Magnet 124 is positioned to magnetic and is connected to magnet 115 perhaps by magnetic field or power M
2Influence.Magnetic connection effect M
2Repellency preferably, but its also can be attractability or attractability combines and the mixing of repellency between combining.For example, in a useful embodiment, it is attractability that magnetic combines, and gravity is used for the pendulum parts are taken back to central authorities or centre position.In use, the coil in this situation can provide the magnetic field of annular shape, makes to leave the centre position along with it moves near pendulum, attracts magnetic to be combined in and realizes when opening switch beginning automatically.
In operation, the magnetic field M that produces by magnet 115
2Make that magnet 124 receives to move or move with attracting with repelling.That moves through the pendulum 121 that is fixed with flame contours 125 and transmits, and is depicted as to have second dynamic or voluntary activity or the displacement D2
DynamicallyOwing to adopt the pendulum parts 111 of the first order 103; So the lower end of pendulum 121 move or the scope of dynamic displacement or amplitude than the scope that moves of the upper end of pendulum 121 greatly to a certain degree; This degree is confirmed (for example, dynamic displacement D2 by hole 122 with respect to the position at the edge on the top of pendulum 121
DynamicallyAt lower end or bottom/first end or first upper end or top/second end or second bigger component that has than pendulum 121 of pendulum 121, mobile in lower end/bottom or first end/first one is 2 to 4 times).In an embodiment; The scope of activities of the first order or bottom pendulum parts 111 is longer; The scope of activities of last pendulum 121 is shorter; This can control (for example, through making pivoting hole 112 have more move than pivoting hole 122 away from parts 114 farther and feasible pendulums 111 down away from magnet/ferrimagnet parts 114) through the distance that each that select these pendulum parts 111,121 left their pivotal points.
In certain embodiments, pivoting hole 122 is arranged on the position (for example, the upper flange of second level shell 104 or edge below is 0.1 to 1 inch or more) of the candle wick base portion that is comparable to burning candle.Gravity trends towards making pendulum 121 to be back to vertical position, and the influence of magnetic field M of moving magnet 115
2 Disturb pendulum 121 and inhibition to be back to the stable state of vertical position constantly.Act on air drag on the surf zone of pendulum parts 121 and flame contours element 125 and make the mobile D2 of pendulum parts 121
DynamicallyBe able to decay.Therefore, thus the size and dimension of pendulum parts 121 can be changed application-specific or the required dynamic moving D2 of embodiment that realizes corresponding to device 100
DynamicallySpeed and degree.It is to be noted; Parts 114,115,124 can be magnet or ferrimagnet; Embodiment setting is corresponding to the ferromagnetism sign of element 114; Then corresponding to the ferromagnetism sign of element 115 or 124, another embodiment use magnet as element 114 and ferrimagnet as element 115 or 124 (for example, the parts that combine of the every pair of magnetic wherein have only one be that magnet is to realize required driving force).
Though the described structure of preamble produces in flame contours 125 dynamically and moves, having more than is that this of element 125 moves or the compellent flame simulating of shape generation itself.Also is important from the essence of the light that installs 100 reflections or produce for producing compellent effect, moving and shape of its element just.For this purpose; Some embodiment of this device 100 can comprise flame contours element 125; Its shape forms the simple geometric shape; Thereby such as triangle, circle or arbitrarily shape produce required effect, simultaneously, shown element 125 has and is similar to candle light or the shape or the circumferential profile of flame separately.
