Hereinafter, the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing(s)).

3 and 4 are diagrams showing an example of a candle used in a light generating device according to the present disclosure, a perspective view in FIG. 3(a) and a cross-sectional view in FIGS. 3(b) to 3(e). . The candle 100 includes a wax 110 and a wick 130. The wax 110 may be a mineral wax (eg, paraffin), a vegetable wax (eg, soy wax, palm wax, coconut wax), an animal wax (eg, bead wax), etc., and if it can be used for the candle 110, it is particularly limited. There is no. The wick 130 may be a cotton wick, a wood wick, or the like, and there is no particular limitation as long as it can be used for the candle 110. In the case of the candle 100 shown in FIG. 3, the wick 130 is not fixed to the wax 110 at the stage of manufacture, but is inserted and fixed from the upper surface 103 of the wax 110 at the time of use. It is not excluded that the length of the wick 130 is longer than the length (L+M) of the wax 110 so that the wick 130 is inserted to reach the lower surface 101 of the wax 110, but the wick 130 After inserting the wax 110 from the upper surface 103 to a certain depth (L) away from the lower surface 101 (Figs. 3(b) and 4), ignite the fire 200 (Fig. 3(c)) ), the wax 110 is partially melted by the fire 200, so that the fixing force of the wick 130 by the wax 110 is weakened, that is, the wick 130 which was fixed by contacting the solid wax 110 ) Gradually comes into contact with the liquid wax 110 and the fixation weakens (Fig. 3(d)), and finally the wick 130 is collapsed by gravity and the fire 200 is automatically turned off (Fig. 3(e)). . For example, when a wick 130 made of 2cm long cotton is inserted into the wax 110 made of soy wax to a depth of 1.5 cm (L) and burned, it takes about 30-50 minutes. When it passes, it turns off. The point at which the candle is extinguished is affected by the temperature, humidity, wind, and the condition of the candle itself, but by adjusting the depth (L), the point at which the candle 100 is automatically extinguished can be adjusted. You will be able to. On the other hand, if the wax 110 is hard, a hole using a hole forming tool such as an awl or a toothpick may be formed first, and then the wick 130 may be inserted.

5 and 16 are views showing another example of a candle used in the light generating device according to the present disclosure, a perspective view in FIG. 5(a) and a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B' in FIG. 5(b). Indicated. Unlike the candle shown in FIG. 3, the candle 100 further includes a container 170 and a base material 150. The container 170 serves to hold the wax 110, and the support 150 is provided in the container 170 under the wax 110 to perform at least one of the following roles. ① When the base material 150 is made of a material that is cheaper than the wax 110, such as air or water, it serves to prevent unnecessary consumption of the wax 110. In the case of the wax 110 contained in the container 170, when the wax 110 is consumed and the surface 111 of the wax 110 approaches the bottom 172 of the container 170, use a hand Since it is difficult to insert the 130 into the wax 110, the use of the candle 100 becomes difficult. Therefore, by providing the support material 150, the wax 110 is used only to the point where the wick 130 is easily inserted, and unnecessary waste of the wax 110 can be prevented. ② When the base material 150 is made of a non-flammable material or a material less flammable than wax (eg, water, silicone), the wick 130 continues to burn near the bottom 172 of the container 170 and the container 170 ) Has the advantage of being able to eliminate the fear of a fire. ③ When the support material 150 is made of a light-transmitting body (eg, water, air, gel wax, thick glass), it imparts aesthetics to the candle 100. The base 150 may be formed of a gas, a liquid, or a solid, and preferably a gas, a liquid, a fluid, or a semi-solid (for example, a gel-like material, so as to accommodate the wick 130 through the wax 110). Gel wax). It goes without saying that the support member 150 may be made of two or more materials. In the example shown in Figure 5, the length (L) of the wick 130 is preferably shorter than the distance (P) from the surface 111 of the wax 110 to the bottom 172 of the container 170, but is not particularly limited. Does not. However, when the support member 150 is made of a non-combustible liquid such as water, when the wick 130 touches the support member 150, the support member 150 is absorbed by the wick 130 to prevent combustion of the wick 130. It should be borne in mind that they can interfere (see Fig. 16(a)). It goes without saying that a plurality of different materials may be used as the support member 150. Reference numeral 135, which is not described, is the bottom surface of the wick 130.

6 is a view showing another example of a candle used in the light generating device according to the present disclosure, and the candle shown in FIG. 5 further includes a locking part 190. The locking part 190 serves to fix the wax 110 contained in the container 170. This is particularly useful when the wick 130 is inserted into the wax 110 in a state in which the support 150 is placed under the wax 110. In FIG. 6 (a), the locking portion 190 protrudes from the inner wall 171 of the container 170 to the outside of the container 170 in the form of a groove. The distance from the bottom of the container 170 to the bottom of the wax 110 is a, the distance to the lower end of the locking part 190 is b, the distance to the upper end of the locking part 190 is c, and the wax 110 When the distance to the top surface of is d, the locking part 190 is positioned within the wax 110, that is, between the distance (a) and the distance (b), so that the wax 110 can be securely fixed. do. In FIG. 6B, the locking portion 190 protrudes from the inner wall 171 of the container 170 in the form of a protrusion, that is, protrudes into the interior of the container 170. In FIG. 6(c), the locking part 190 is provided in a ring shape on the inner wall 171 of the container 170. As shown in FIG. This is made of the same material as the container 170 (eg, glass), but may be made of another material (eg, silicone resin, plastic). The locking part 190 does not necessarily have to be continuously connected, and any shape may be used as long as the wax 110 can be fixed to the container 170. In FIG. 6 (d), the locking portion 190 is formed by having a concave shape in the entire sidewall of the container 170 itself, and can be formed by having a convex shape outward as a whole. In FIG. 6(e), the locking part 190 is formed by forming a step on the sidewall of the container 170. A plurality of examples shown in FIGS. 6(a) to 6(e) itself may be provided, or they may be provided in combination, as long as the wax 110 can be fixed to the container 170, so it is particularly limited. It doesn't work. When the support 150 contains a fluid, the locking portion 190 shown in FIGS. 6(a) to 6(c) in addition to the role of fixing the wax 110 to the container 170, the fluid is It plays a role of preventing ascending to the top of the wax 110. The locking part 190 shown in FIG. 6(e) certainly plays a role in supporting the wax 110.

7 is a view showing an example of a method of manufacturing a candle used in the light generating device according to the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 7 (a), a container 170 provided with a locking portion 190 After preparation, as shown in Fig. 7(b), the support 150 and the wax 110 are put into the container 170. At this time, the support material 150 and the wax 110 may be in a solid state or a liquid state, and the support material 150 may be water. Next, as shown in Fig. 7(c), the support 150 and the wax 110 are heated. When the density of the base 150 is lower than the density of the wax 110, the wax 110 is positioned on the base 150, and the amount of the base 150 and the wax 110 is appropriately adjusted. By doing so, it is possible to appropriately adjust the points (a, b) at which the wax 110 is positioned with respect to the locking portion 190. Accordingly, it is possible to couple the wax 110 to the locking portion 190 without any particular restriction on the shape of the locking portion 190. Finally, as shown in Figure 7 (d), it can be used by inserting the wick 130.

8 is a view showing another example of a method of manufacturing a candle used in the light generating device according to the present disclosure, unlike the example shown in FIG. 7, as shown in FIGS. 8(a) and 8(b) Likewise, a support 150 (eg, water, silicone, gel wax) is provided in the container 150 so as to be placed under the locking part 190. Next, as shown in Fig. 8(c), the wax 110 is put into the container 150. Finally, as shown in Fig. 8(d), the wax 110 is hardened, and then the wick 130 is inserted and used. When putting the wax 110 into the container 170, it is possible to put the wax 110 in a liquid state, or it is possible to put the wax 110 in a solid state, melt it by applying heat, and then harden it again.

9 and 12 are diagrams showing examples of wicks used in the light generating device according to the present disclosure. In FIG. 9(a), the wick 130 is a conventional wooden wick, and in FIG. 9(b), the wick 130 ) Is a wooden wick having an inclined bottom surface 131, and in FIG. 9(c), the wick 130 is a surface wick in which two conventional threads are twisted (it is generally coated with wax), and FIG. 9 ( In d) and 9(e), the wick 130 is a wooden wick having a plurality of gaps 133 intentionally formed, and in FIG. 9(f), the wick 130 is a stack of a plurality of narrow wooden bars. Have a form. By using the wick 130 shown in FIGS. 9(d) to 9(f), the gap 133 or the gap between the overlapping wooden bars serves to promote the capillary phenomenon of the melted wax 110, and the candle Improves its ignition power. In FIG. 12, a wick 130 having a length (c), a width (d) and a height (f) as shown in FIG. 12 (a); e.g. c=0.7mm, d=01.mm, f=20mm ), and then cut it into plural pieces (eg, 5 pieces) along the height (f) direction to have a length (c1) as shown in FIG. 12(b), and then as shown in FIG. 12(c). Likewise, a wick 130 made by overlapping and arranging in the width (d) direction is presented. In general, when the fire 200 is attached to the wooden wick 130, the fire 200 shows a narrow flame shape along the length direction of the wick 130, as shown in FIG. 12(e), but FIG. 12 If the wick 130 of the shape shown in (c) is used, despite the use of the wooden wick 130, it is possible to create a flame represented by the wick 130 with a surface, that is, a flame of a round shape as a whole. At this time, if the number of cut trees overlapping is small, the area causing the capillary phenomenon of the wax is small, so it is difficult to maintain the fire 200, so it is preferable to use at least five or more overlapping.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the use of a candle used in the light generating device according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10(a), the wick 130 having an inclined bottom surface 131 is burned 200 When the wick 130 is pressed using the rod 300, as shown in FIG. 10(b), the wick 130 is tilted downwards around the point J, immersed in the wax 110, and fired. (200) is turned off. Therefore, if the fire 200 is to be extinguished before the fire 200 is automatically extinguished, the fire 200 can be easily extinguished.

FIG. 11 is a view showing another example of the use of a candle used in the light generating device according to the present disclosure, and shows an example in which two or more wicks 130 shown in FIG. 9 are stacked and inserted into the wax 110. As mentioned in connection with FIG. 9(f), by overlapping the wick 130 to create a gap 137 having a gap 1, the ignition power of the candle 100 may be improved.

14 is a view showing another example of the light generating device according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 14(a), the light generating device 400 includes a candle 100, a heating part 410, and a support ( 430) and a base 450. The heating part 410 emits at least one of heat or light to melt the candle 100 and is provided on the candle 100. For example, the heating unit 410 may be a halogen lamp, an LED lamp, a heater, or the like. As shown in FIG. 14(b), the heating part 410 may be composed of a socket 411 and a lamp 412. The support 430 supports the heating part 410. The base 450 serves as a support for the candle 100 and may be combined with the support 430 or may be separated. The base 450 includes a light emitting part 451, and the light emitting part 451 illuminates the candle 100. The light-emitting unit 451 may be composed of an LED, an OLED, or the like. In the case of using a candle in which the conventional wick is fixed to the bottom of the container, there is a problem in that the position of the wick is changed when the wax is in a liquid state by heat provided from the heating unit 410, but the wick 130; see FIG. 3 ) By using the candle 100 (see FIG. 3) not inserted, it is possible to solve this problem.

15 is a view showing another example of the light generating device according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 15(a), unlike the example shown in FIG. 14, the light generating device 140 has a heating unit 410 Since it is a heater, it generates only heat and does not generate light. Even if the heater is turned on, light (red light close to infrared rays) may be emitted, but it means that a visible light lamp for lighting is not used. Of course, a dryer-type heater can be used. As for the candle 100, the candle 100 shown in FIG. 5 may be used. If a light-transmitting material is used as the support material 150, the interior of the lower portion of the container 170 may be illuminated using the light emitting part 451 to improve the aesthetics. In this case, the bottom surface of the wax 110 may function as a reflective film. The light-emitting unit 451 itself emits a specific color, or it is possible to produce such an effect by mixing an appropriate coloring element (eg, a dye) with the wax 110. For example, if the light emitting part 451 emits white light and the bottom surface of the wax 110 is red, the support material 150 will be seen as a whole red color, so without changing the color of the device, By changing the candle 100, it is possible to implement various colors. By thickening the bottom of the glass container 170 to 1 cm or more, it is possible to obtain a similar effect. Reference numeral 480 denotes a power supply unit, and reference numeral 490 denotes a circuit unit. When the phase charge is supplied to the power supply unit 480, the circuit unit 490 (eg: SMPS (Switching Mode Power Supply)) converts the phase charge to fit the light emitting unit 451. Of course, disposable batteries and rechargeable batteries can be used. The power supply unit 480, the circuit unit 490, and the battery are collectively referred to as a power supply unit. A modified example of the candle shown in Fig. 6(b) is shown in Fig. 15(b), and the CC' line in Fig. 15(c) A cross-sectional view along the line is shown. A light scattering part 173 is provided on at least a lower outer wall of the container 170. In the illustrated example, the light scattering part 173 is located at least below the locking part 190 and It has a shape that extends linearly (straight or curved) along the height direction of the container 170, but there is no special limitation (eg, dot shape) if it has a light scattering function. It is possible to help scattering of light emitted from the light-emitting unit 451 and emitted to the outside through the support material 150, which is a light-transmitter, and also serves to cover the light-emitting unit 451. As shown in Fig. 16, the container 170 By forming the sidewall of the container 170 in a straight line or curved shape in such a manner that the cross-sectional area becomes narrower toward the bottom surface or the cross-sectional area increases toward the top from the bottom surface, the effect of light scattering can be added.

18 is a view showing another example of the light generating device according to the present disclosure, the light generating device 500 includes a candle 100, a thermoelectric element 510, a support 430 and a base 450, 14 and 15, except that the heating unit 410 shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 is replaced with a thermoelectric element 510, it is substantially the same as the light generating device shown in FIGS. 14 and 15. By providing the thermoelectric element 510, the power supply unit 480 is not required. Furthermore, when the candle 100 is automatically extinguished, the thermoelectric element 510 cannot generate electricity unless heat is supplied from the candle 100, and the light emitting unit 451 also operates without generating light. Since this is stopped, the light emitting unit 451 is also turned off when the candle 100 is extinguished. Therefore, in the case of the light generating device shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, even if a separate timer device is provided, it is not easy to accurately turn off the light emitting unit 451 when the candle 100 is extinguished. Although it will be possible if the digestion is sensed), in the case of the light generating device shown in FIG. 18, the light emitting unit 451 can be automatically turned off according to the timing at which the candle 100 is digested. In the example shown in FIG. 18(a), a water tank 530 for heat dissipation is provided on the thermoelectric element 510, and in this respect, it is distinguished from the light generating device shown in FIG. 18(b). By configuring the support 430 of a material having good thermal conductivity such as metal, in addition, by configuring the base 451 of a material having good thermal conductivity (eg, metal), it is possible to help heat dissipation of the thermoelectric element 510. Electricity generated by the thermoelectric element 510 may be transmitted to the light emitting unit 451 through the base 450 through an electric wire (not shown) passing through the support 430. The support 430 and the base 450 do not necessarily have to be coupled.

19 and 20 are views showing another example of the light generating device according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 19, the candle 100 includes a cover 180 in addition to the candle 100 shown in FIG. 5; cover), and the cover 180 includes a light emitting part 451. Preferably, the light emitting portion 451 is located in the container 170 between the lid 180 and the wax 110. As shown in FIG. 20, by placing the cover 180 including the light emitting unit 451 under the candle 100, the cover 180 is formed of the light emitting unit 451 shown in FIGS. 14, 15, and 18. ) Has the same function as the pedestal 450. Therefore, the light is irradiated on the light-transmitting support member 150 provided under the candle 100 itself; throughout the present disclosure, it should be understood that the light-transmitting support material includes the bottom of the container 1700, which is 1 cm or more thick. It is possible to have an advantage that can be achieved, and it is also possible to remove the light-emitting unit 451 and/or the pedestal 450 in FIGS. 14, 15 and 18 and use the cover 180 having the light-emitting unit 451. . The light emitting unit 451 may receive power through the power supply unit described with reference to FIG. 15. When combined with the light generating device shown in FIG. 18, electricity generated by the thermoelectric element 510 may be supplied to the light emitting unit 451 provided in the cover 180 through an electric wire (not shown).

21 is a view showing another example of the light generating device according to the present disclosure. Unlike the cover 180 shown in FIG. 20, an opening 181 is formed in the cover 180, and the light emitting unit 451 is It is intended to emit light through the opening 181. When the cover 180 is made of a material having good thermal conductivity such as metal (eg, aluminum, iron), it has the advantage of being able to easily discharge heat generated from the light emitting unit 451 without a separate heat sink, and the container ( Even when the bottom area of the 170) is large, the cover 180 also has the advantage that the container 170 can be stably supported.

22 is a view showing another example of the use of a candle used in the light generating device according to the present disclosure. In addition to the candle 100 shown in FIG. 5, the candle 100 is a first wax 112 ) And the second wax 113. The first wax 112 is used to light the candle 100, and the second wax 113 is used to reflect light generated from the light emitting unit 451, or the first wax 112 is used for the support 150 ) Is provided to prevent reaction with or is introduced to improve adhesion with the container 170 in order to prevent penetration of the support 150 into the first wax 112. For example, when the first wax 112 is composed of soy wax, the second wax 113 is composed of paraffin, and water is used as the support 150, the soy wax, which is a vegetable wax, is in contact with water for a long time. If so, floating matters are generated and the water becomes cloudy. Since paraffin, an animal wax, does not react with water, this problem can be solved. In addition, by selecting a wax that slightly transmits light (eg, parafin wax 125; paraffin wax having a melting point of 125°F) as the second wax 113, a part of the light generated from the light emitting unit 451 is converted to the second wax 113 ), and a part of the light is incident on the second wax 113 and is emitted to the outside through the second wax 113, so that the second wax 113 can be used as a reflective layer and a light guide layer. In addition, when the first wax is made of paraffin such as the wax of the Yankee candle or the wax of the Woodwick candle, the adhesion to the container 170 is low, so that the adhesion of the second wax 113 to the container 170 is lower than that of the wax. It can be composed of good waxes (eg parafin wax 125, palm wax, soy wax). In addition, the first wax 112 and the second wax 113 are composed of the same or different waxes, but the first wax 112 is toned in an appropriate color matched to the light, and the second wax 11 is a light emitting unit ( It is also possible to tint the appropriate color to reflect the light from 451). In addition, the prevention layer 114 between the first wax 112 and the second wax 113 to prevent penetration of the support member 150 into the first wax 112 or to increase the airtightness of the support member 150; A proofing layer) may be introduced, and the prevention layer 114 may be a form that covers the entire second wax 113 or may be formed only in a region where the second wax 113 and the container 170 meet. The prevention layer 114 is not particularly limited as long as it has relatively better adhesion to the container 170 than the second wax 113, and may be formed of wax, adhesive, resin, paint, or the like. When the locking part 190 (refer to FIG. 6(a)) is provided, the second wax 113 is preferably located under the locking part 190 for fixing the wax 110. It is also possible to prevent additional generation of air bubbles formed in the support member 150 by constituting the prevention layer 114 with a liquid so that air is trapped. On the other hand, in the case of winter when the temperature is low, a problem may be caused when the support member 150 is composed of a liquid that is easy to freeze such as water. When the volume becomes large due to freezing of water, a problem of cracking the first wax 112 and/or the second wax 113 may be caused. In order to solve this problem, it is preferable to use a liquid such as salt water, starch syrup, glycerin, or a mixture of water and salt water having a low freezing point as the support material 150. In the case of starch syrup or glycerin, it was confirmed that it did not freeze even below -10 degrees Celsius. In addition, when the light generating device is placed in a low temperature state and then the temperature rises again, the base material 150 is upward through the gap between the container 170 and the first wax 112 and/or the second wax 113. It can cause leaking problems. By using a gel wax instead of paraffin wax as the second wax 113, it was confirmed that this problem can be more effectively responded to. Based on this confirmation, by using starch syrup, glycerin, a mixture of starch syrup and water, a mixture of glycerin and water, or a mixture of starch syrup and glycerin and water as the base 150, and using a gel wax as the second wax 113, Even when the light generating device according to the present disclosure is delivered at sub-zero temperatures, it is possible to respond relatively well to the above problems. In addition, the shape of the base 150, the first wax 112 and/or the second wax may be changed according to the rise and fall of the temperature, but the locking portion 190, in particular, the locking portion 190 in the form of a groove or protrusion. ), it becomes possible to cope with this problem.

FIG. 23 is a view showing another example of a light generating device according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 23(a), the cover 180 has the configuration shown in FIG. 19, but increases power Thus, for example, 3W to 6W, the light emitting unit 451 replaces the heating unit 410 shown in FIG. 14, and the light generating device operates as a candle warmer. When the used power is high, it is preferable to use a power supply having a power supply unit 480 and a circuit unit 490 rather than a disposable battery or a rechargeable battery. As shown in FIG. 23(b), the cover 180 has at least one opening 182 to provide a scent diffuser passage through which fragrance from the wax 110 melted by the heat of the light emitting unit 451 is released. The circuit part 490 does not necessarily have to be fixed to the cover 180.

24 is a view showing another example of the light generating device according to the present disclosure, the light generating device 100 includes a wax 110 and a container 170, preferably further includes a cover 180 I can. The cover 180 may function as a container containing the wick 130. Additionally, tweezers 132 may be accommodated in the cover 180, and the tweezers 132 are used to retrieve the collapsed wick 130 (see FIG. 3(e)). The tweezers 132 are commonly used tweezers, and are conceptually shown in the drawings, and there is no particular limitation as long as the wick 132 can be picked up. The wax 110 may include a first wax 112 and a second wax 113. In this example, the wick 130 is not in a form that extends from the bottom of the container 170 to the upper portion of the wax 110 at the center of the container 170, but is in an independent form. Plug in and use.

FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an example of the use of the light generating device shown in FIG. 24, and the use of the light generating device 100 is progressed over a certain level, so that the wax 110 reaches an intermediate height of the container 170. It represents the state of being consumed. In this state, in order to insert and use the new wick 130, it becomes inconvenient to insert the wick 130. In addition, since the wick 130 is not fixed in the center unlike the prior art, when the user inserts the wick 130 into the wax 110 in the area close to the wall of the container 170, the container 170 is It may become too hot, and the area of the container 170 that becomes hot is widened as compared to the state in which the wax 110 is shown in FIG. 24, so that the user needs attention when holding the container 170.

FIG. 26 is a view showing another example of the use of the light generating device shown in FIG. 24, showing a state in which the first wax 112 is exhausted from the wax 110 and only a part of the second wax 113 remains. . In this state, not only the problem pointed out above becomes more serious, it is not easy to stably insert the wick 130, and it is not easy to burn the wick 130 for a certain period of time, and thus the remaining second wax 113 is actually used. It is difficult to do, and it is wasted. In order to solve this problem, a method of increasing the width and reducing the height of the container 170 may be considered, but even in this case, the remaining second wax 113 is wasted. In this example, the wax 110 is composed of a first wax 112 and a second wax 113, but the second wax 113 includes a fragrance oil or essential oil; a first wax 112 It is configured to contain relatively less, preferably fragrance-free. A method of using liquid, non-flammable solid, sand, coffee powder, etc. instead of the second wax 113 may be considered, but as shown in FIG. 27, when the wick 130 reaches the bottom of the first wax 112 Edo wick 130 is not preferable from the viewpoint of igniting as in the state shown in FIG. 25 and being automatically extinguished (to fall down). For example, it is possible to configure the first wax 112 as a soy wax containing a fragrance, and the second wax 113 as a soy wax containing no fragrance. Meanwhile, when the wick 130 is inserted into the first wax 112, the first wax 112 protrudes toward the wick 130 by the amount of the wick 130 inserted into the first wax 112, and this As a means of preventing, it is possible to insert natural oils or natural substances such as jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba butter, and shea butter into the first wax 112. Various oils and substances may be considered, but the present inventor's experiment results that the above substances can be used in consideration of mixing properties with waxes and fragrances, prevention of harmful substances during combustion, and the like. It goes without saying that such a material, that is, a sticking wax relief material, can also be used for the second wax 113. On the other hand, by making the first wax 112 contain a relatively large amount of perfume and attenuating material compared to the second wax 113, that is, by forming the wick 130 to be easily inserted, the first wax 112 is almost consumed. In the case (refer to FIG. 27), when the user inserts the wick 130, a sense of resistance can be felt at the boundary between the first wax 112 and the second wax 113, so that the first wax 112 is almost consumed. You will be able to know. For example, a 9 oz glass cup is used as the container 170, 100 g of soy wax is used as the second wax 113, and 95 g of soy wax, 5 g of fragrance, 5 g of jojoba is used as the first wax 112. You can use oil. Here, by using a 2cm long paraffin-coated cotton wick 130 as the wick 130, inserting about 1 to 1.7cm into the wax 112 and using it, it becomes possible to automatically extinguish after ignition for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. It goes without saying that the support material 150 may be provided under the second wax 113.

28 is a view showing another example of the light generating device according to the present disclosure. Unlike the light generating device shown in FIG. 24, the light generating device 100 includes the first wax 112 in a separate container 174. Equipped. This is a possible configuration because the wick 130 is not fixed to the container 170 and the wax 112, and overcomes the dependence of the container 170 in the process of manufacturing the first wax 112. Of course, the second wax 113 may be provided in a separate container, and it is not excluded that the second wax 113 is omitted. Preferably, by providing the lid 183 to the container 174, it is possible to preserve the fragrance-scenting substance of the first wax 112. After opening the cover 183, the first wax 112 is taken out from the container 174 and put into the container 170. When the container 174 is made of deformable plastic (eg, PS, PP, PE), the first wax 112 can be separated from the container 174 by pressing the bottom of the container 174. The deformable plastic endures at about 40 to 130 degrees Celsius, which is the temperature at which the first wax 112 is melted, and there is no particular limitation as long as it can be deformed. Through this configuration, it has the advantage of being able to put the first wax 112 into the container 174 without getting it on the hand. The cover 183 may be coupled to the container 174 by means of screwing, adhesive, heat bonding, or the like.

29 is a diagram showing another example of a light generating device according to the present disclosure, wherein the light generating device includes a container 174 having a step 175. By forming the width h of the step 175 slightly larger than the upper width of the container 170, force is applied to the bottom of the container 74 in the direction of the arrow while the container 174 is stably placed on the container 170. In addition, the first wax 112 can be put into the container 170. The top of the container 174 may be provided with a flat surface 176 to be coupled to the cover 183.

FIG. 30 is a view showing various examples of the container shown in FIG. 28, and FIG. 30(a) shows a container 174 having a reference step 177, and by providing a reference step 177, a separate measurement It is possible to put a quantity of the first wax 112 in the container 174 without means. The first wax 112 may be contained in the container 174 in a liquid state or a solid state. In Figure 30 (b), in addition to the first wax 112 in the container 174, a wick 130 is provided. One wick 130 may be provided, but 30 to 50 may be provided to burn all of the first wax 112. By having such a configuration, the container 174, the first wax 112, at least one wick 130 and preferably the lid 183 form an independent light generating device 100 without the container 170. do. If necessary, a partition wall 178 (eg, a plastic plate) for preventing the wick 130 from contacting the first wax 112 may be provided, and the partition wall 178 may be placed on the step 175. In FIG. 30(c), a partition wall 178 having a side wall 179 is shown. Preferably, by configuring the side wall 179 to contact the cover 183, the partition wall 178 is prevented from moving by the cover 183, so that the first wax 112 can be prevented from melting and flowing, It is possible to prevent the first wax 112 from being buried on the wick 130. In relation to the container 170, it goes without saying that the partition wall 178 can be used as the cover 180. Needless to say, tweezers or forceps 132 for picking up the wick 130 used in the container 170 may be provided. The tweezers or tongs 132 are provided on the partition wall 178 like the wick 130 and have the advantage of being able to be protected from the first wax 112. The partition wall 178 (e.g., plastic in the form of a thin sheet) is located on the side of the flat surface 176 (see FIG. 29) to function as an inner cover for the first wax 112, and the cover 183 is positioned on the outer side. Of course, it can serve as a cover. It goes without saying that the wick 130 and/or the tweezers 132 may be provided between the partition wall 178 and the cover 183.

FIG. 31 is a view showing an example of the use of the light generating device shown in FIG. 30(b), and unlike FIG. 28, a dish-shaped container 170 may be used instead of a container-type or glass-cup-type container 170. Show that there is. It goes without saying that the second wax 113 may be provided.

FIG. 32 is a view showing another example of the use of the light generating device shown in FIG. 30(b), and shows that the first wax 112 can be used as a light generating device by itself without the aid of the container 170. . As shown in FIG. 32(a), by forming an annular wall 112w in the lower part of the first wax 112 so that the center has a concave part, the wall 112w replaces the container 170 as a windshield. By functioning, the wick 130 can be stably burned. By adjusting the thickness of the wick 130 so that the tunneling phenomenon occurs until the first wax 112 is exhausted, the wall 112w can be designed to be maintained continuously. In Fig. 32(b), a container 174 designed to have a wall 112w when the first wax 112 is turned over is shown. By forming the convex convex portion 174d in the center of the bottom 174b of the container 174, it is possible to form the wall 112w in the first wax 112. It is preferable from the viewpoint of a windshield that the height (a) of the concave portion 174d is 0.3 cm or more. On the other hand, when the first wax 112 is put into the container 170, the width (b) of the concave portion 174d is a guide line that prevents the user from inserting the wick 130 too close to the wall of the container 170. Can play a role.

FIG. 33 is a view showing another example of the use of the light generating device shown in FIG. 30(b), and shows a state in which the first wax 112 is put into the container 170. When at least one of the side surface of the container 170 and the side surface of the container 174 has an inclination, the distance e between the first wax 112 and the side wall of the container 170 may be too large. In this case, , When the wick 130 is inserted adjacent to the wall 112w and burned, the wall 112w collapses and the melted first wax 112 may cause a problem in which the melted first wax 112 flows down the side wall of the container 170. The present disclosure It provides a means that can be used regardless of the shape of the container 170 and/or the container 174. The first wax 112 is melted by applying energy (eg, heat, microwave) to the container 174. In the state, by putting the melted first wax 112 into the container 170 to harden it, and then using it as the light generating device 100, it is possible to overcome the constraints according to the shape of the container 170 and/or the container 174. That is, by using the container 174 according to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a scented candle regardless of the shape of the container 170 and/or the container 174. First wax 112 Since some of the scent scent material may be blown away during the melting process, it is desirable to minimize the time to apply energy to the container 174, and use a thin material such as plastic, not a thick material such as glass, and use a microwave oven. From this point of view, the container 174 is made of polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) plastic, and it is possible to form a material thickness of about 0.5 to 1.5 mm. For example, a 0.8m thick PP container 174 containing 95g of soy wax and the first wax 112 of 5g of fragrance is rotated in a microwave for 1 minute to obtain the first wax 112 in a liquid state. By using a container 174 made of a material that can be used in a microwave oven, the first wax 112, the wick 113, and the cover 183 (preferably airtight) to suppress the scent fragrance, the present disclosure exists in the past. A new type of light-generating device It will be able to provide. This light generating device is independent of the shape of the container 170 and the container 174, is free from restrictions due to the wick fixed to the container 170 in the prior art, and suppresses consumption of the scent scent material in the process of distribution, as well as , It provides a means for consumers to easily make DIY-style scented candles, and provides a light generating device that is automatically extinguished. By using a plastic with a material and thickness that is deformable and usable in a microwave oven, the first wax 112 can be selectively contained in a container 170 in a liquid or solid state, and thus an automatic fire extinguishing function (publicized in Japan) In addition to Patent Publication No. H11-228987), it is possible to manufacture a light generating device in a form independent of the container 170. On the other hand, by providing the second wax 113 and/or the base 150 in the container 170, when the liquid first wax 112 is hardened on the container 170, it is not hardened on the cold glass wall. In addition, it is possible to ensure that it has a good surface and hardens.

FIG. 34 is a diagram showing an example of a method of using the light generating device shown in FIG. 30(c). First, as shown in FIGS. 34(a) and 34(b), the cover 183 is opened, The wick 130 is lowered from the partition wall 178 having side walls 179. Next, as shown in FIGS. 34(c) and 34(d), the container 174 having the first wax 112 thereon is turned upside down while the partition wall 178 is placed on the floor, By pressing the bottom of the container 174, the first wax 112 is moved to the partition wall 178. Finally, as shown in FIG. 34(e), the first wax 112 is picked up by hand using the sidewall 179, and then transferred to the container 170 provided with the second wax 113. It goes without saying that the second wax 113 may be omitted. Through this process, it is possible to transfer the first wax 112 to the container 170 in a solid state without getting it on the hand. By using the light generating device according to the present disclosure, there is an additional advantage of being able to move the first wax 112 to the container 170 in a solid state or a liquid state without touching the hand.
