【Detailed ways】

Embodiment 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the transparent or translucent can body 1 is included, and the can body can have various shapes. The can body 1 is a candle body 2, and the candle body 2 can be filled with the can body 1 or not. Tank body 1. The candle body 2 has a candle core 21, and the bottom of the candle body 2 is provided with a light-emitting module 3, and the light-emitting module 3 is disposed in the base 6. The light-emitting module 3 includes a power source 31, a control module 32 connected to the power source 31, Photosensitive circuit and light emitting diode 34. The photosensitive element in the photosensitive circuit is preferably a photoresistor R2, and a dark chamber 33 is disposed around the photoresistor R2, and the dark chamber 33 shields ambient light so that the photoresistor R2 is not affected by ambient light. The photoresistor R2, the darkroom 33, and the light-emitting diode 34 are located on the upper surface of the base 6. Of course, the base 6 can be a transparent body, and the photoresistor R2, the darkroom 33, and the light emitting diode 34 can also be located in the base 6, as shown in FIG. An optical fiber 4 is disposed along the candle core 21, the first end of which is adjacent to the candle core portion of the outside of the candle holder, and the light exit opening 41 of the second end of the optical fiber is closely attached to the upper surface of the photoresistor R2, so that the photoresistor R2 can be Fully accept the light of the candle.

The upper surface 22 of the top of the candle body 2 is made smaller than the opening 11 of the can body 1 so that the candle fire when the candle core 21 is ignited is located in the can body 1. Due to the shielding of the can body 1, the flow of the airflow can be hindered. The light-emitting diodes are more stable in illumination and make the candle fire safer without touching other items.

The circuit connection on the light-emitting module 3 can be as shown in FIG. 2. The photosensitive circuit includes a photoresistor R2 and a first resistor R1 connected in series between the positive B+ and the negative B- of the power source 31, and the photoresistor R2 can be a positive photoresistor. It can also be a negative photoresistor; the photoresistor R2 can be connected to the negative pole of the power supply B-, or it can be connected to the positive pole of the power supply B+, which can be connected according to the actual situation. A series node of the photoresistor R2 and the first resistor R1 is coupled to an input of the control module 32. The anode of each LED is connected to the output of the control module 32, and the cathode is connected to the cathode B- of the power supply.

The power source 31 is a button battery. The control module 32 can be an integrated circuit or a chip that is solidified with software. When the wick 21 is ignited, the optical fiber ⁴ by irradiating candlelight photoresistor R ^2, R ² is a photoresistor positive photosensitive resistor, the resistance increasing with the light intensity becomes larger, is inputted to an input terminal of the control module ³² of The photovoltage also increases, and the control module 32 compares the input photovoltage with the set threshold voltage. When the photovoltage is greater than the threshold voltage, the control module 32 outputs a high level signal to turn on the light emitting diode.

The anode of light emitting diode may also be connected to the power supply + B to the positive electrode, and a cathode output terminal ³² is connected to the control module, so that the same may be light emitting diode by controlling a control module 32.

A cover body 5 may be disposed above the opening 11 of the can body 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the cover body 5 may have various shapes, and the cover body 5 is coupled to the opening of the can body 1, and has an opening at the top thereof. It can communicate with the outside to allow air to enter. The cover 5 not only blocks the airflow and makes the candle safer, but also cooperates with the can body 1 to have an overall beauty.

When the cover 5 is provided above the opening 11 of the can body 1, the top surface of the candle body may also be higher than the opening of the can or flush with the opening of the can.

The second embodiment is different from the above embodiment in that the candle body is divided into the light emitting module layer 23 and away from the light emitting module layer 24. As shown in FIG. 4, the melting point of the light emitting module layer 23 is higher than that of the light emitting module layer. The melting point of 24 is such that the candle near the illuminating module layer 23 is not easily melted and burned. When the candle is burned away from the illuminating module layer 24, the candle is extinguished, so that the temperature of the illuminating module 3 is not high because the illuminating mode Group 3 is mainly electronic components. If the temperature is high, it will emit an unpleasant smell, even burning, which is not conducive to environmental protection.

Embodiment 3: In order to prevent the photoresistor from being affected by ambient light, a dark room is arranged around the photoresistor, but if the darkroom does not block the upper surface of the photoresistor, the darkroom has a good shading effect on ambient light. If the dark room also seals the upper surface of the photoresistor, it is necessary to open the hole to pass the optical fiber, and the ambient light is also irradiated to the photo-sensitive resistor through the hole, and the shading effect is not good. Therefore, in the embodiment, on the basis of the first embodiment or the second, an elastic spacer 35 covering the upper surface thereof is disposed on the upper surface of the photoresistor. As shown in FIG. 4, the photoresistor is shielded in the base, the darkroom and the elastic pad. In the film, it is not affected by ambient light other than candlelight. The elastic gasket 35 is provided with a hole 36 through which the optical fiber passes. The elastic gasket can have a certain thickness. Since the elastic gasket has elasticity, the optical fiber 4 is clamped by the elastic gasket 35, and the light is not passed through the hole. Through, it has a fixed effect on the optical fiber 4, which is beneficial to the candle filling in the wax can manufacturing process. The elastic gasket 35 is an elastic gasket such as a sponge gasket or a rubber gasket.

The light-emitting diodes 34 have one or more, and the light-emitting diodes 34 may be one color or two or more colors. The light-emitting diodes are preferably designed as three light-emitting diodes of red, green and blue, which are equilateral triangles on the light-emitting module. Through the control of the control module, three LEDs can be illuminated in turn, and the intensity of each LED is weak to strong, and then changes from strong to weak. When the light of the first LED is weakened, the second The light-emitting diode is illuminated, and the light intensity is weak to strong; when the light of the second light-emitting diode is weakened by the strong, the third light-emitting diode is illuminated, and the light intensity is weak to strong, and sequentially circulates. According to the principle of color mixing, the light presented by the candle body is not only three kinds of light, but a kind of changing and colorful light.

The wax can of the present invention can not only illuminate, but also be beautiful, and by adjusting the color, it is possible to express different atmospheres.
