Description

Electronic realistic candle

This creation is about an electronic realistic candle that can provide streamlined structure, easy maintenance, improved service life and natural visual effects, especially the shell, rocking seat, candle-shaped light-transmitting sleeve, and luminescence of the electronic realistic candle. Diodes (LEDs), electromagnets and power supplies.

In order to ensure the safety of candles during use, there are currently electronic simulated candles on the market, such as: Mainland China Patent No. CN217816518U, CN203442498U, CN204005707U, CN211600551U and Taiwan Patent No. I631299, which provide typical embodiments. .

The structure of this type of electronic candle is usually to configure a light-emitting diode (LED) inside a candle-shaped casing, and to configure a component that simulates a candle flame on the top of the casing. The candle flame component is driven by the electronic device in the casing. Shake left and right, and let the light-emitting diode illuminate the candle component, creating a visual sensation that simulates the flickering of a real candle.

However, its disadvantage is that the candle pieces in the Mainland China Patent No. CN217816518U are easily dented and damaged, and it is difficult for users to replace damaged candle pieces. They have to ask the manufacturer to replace them, or discard the entire electronic candle set, making maintenance very inconvenient. Moreover, the component that simulates the candle flame is in the shape of a sheet, and the light-emitting diode emits light on the back of the candle flame sheet, making the overall look unnatural.

In addition, the light-emitting diodes in mainland China's CN203442498U, CN204005707U and Taiwan patents No. I631299 are buried inside the simulated candlelight components. The overall assembly structure is complex, and the light-emitting diodes and the simulated candlelight components shake together. The light obviously swings left and right, making the visual effect unnatural. Under long-term use, the light-emitting diodes may easily fall off due to shaking, or lead to poor contact of the light-emitting diodes.

Another electronic candle structure, such as the mainland patent No. CN211600551U, uses a mode where the simulated candle component does not shake, but the light-emitting diode shakes up, down, left, and right, so that the projection onto the simulated candle component produces light and shadow movement. The effect, the overall visual effect of simulating candlelight also seems unnatural.
