No. 13/325,754, filed Dec. 14, 2011, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,789,986, entitled “Electronic Lighting Device and Method for Manufacturing Same,” which is a continuation-in-part of International PCT Patent Application No. PCT/CN2011/076449, filed Jun. 27, 2011, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201010211402.8, filed Jun. 28, 2010, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
FIG. 13 is an exposed view schematically showing a structure of a core of an electronic candle according to a sixth embodiment of the present application; and
FIG. 14 is a schematic view showing a structure of a flame sheet of the electronic candle according to the seventh embodiment of the present application.
1. An electronic lighting device for simulating a candle, comprising:
an outer shell having a shape to resemble a candle;
a flame sheet including a lower portion and an upper portion that is shaped to resemble a flame;
a core positioned inside the outer shell, the core including a top section that comprises a top collar having a through hole, the through hole allowing the upper portion of the flame sheet to be exposed above the top section of the core, the top collar formed as a step-like structure including a plurality of steps, each step forming a substantially concentric structure with respect to other step or steps positioned around the through hole, wherein a radial extent of a first step that is positioned closer to the through hole is smaller than a radial extent of a second step that is positioned further away from the through hole compared to the first step;
a support rod positioned within a middle portion of the flame sheet between the upper portion and the lower portion, the support rod providing a suspension mechanism for suspending the flame sheet;
one or more light-emitting elements oriented at inclined angle with respect to the flame sheet and positioned through one or more notches formed on a sidewall of the core to project light onto the upper portion of the flame sheet to simulate a candle flame; and
a control circuitry comprising electronic components to control an operation of the one or more light emitting elements.
2. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the collar is substantially circular in shape and is formed at a central location of the top section of the core.
3. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the support rod is connected to a sidewall of the collar and passes through a hole in the middle portion of the flame sheet.
4. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the control circuitry is positioned on a printed circuit board that is electrically connected to the one or more light-emitting elements.
5. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, further comprising:
a magnetic element coupled to the lower portion of the flame sheet, and
a coil that is configured to receive an electric current that energizes the coil to produce a magnetic field of a particular polarity that interacts with the magnetic element to induce movements of the flame sheet.
6. The electronic lighting device of claim 5, wherein the coil is positioned on a printed circuit board that is directly below the through hole of the collar and underneath the lower portion of the flame sheet.
7. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, further comprising a fan positioned below the flame sheet to cause the flame sheet to sway due to a wind produced by the fan.
8. The electronic lighting device of claim 7, further comprising a baffle to facilitate interaction of the wind with the flame sheet.
9. The electronic lighting device of claim 7, wherein a segment of the lower portion of the flame sheet is folded at an angle to form the baffle having a surface that receives the wind produced by the fan.
10. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the core includes two halves that are connected together to form a substantially cylindrical enclosure.
11. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the upper portion of the flame sheet is formed from a semitransparent material.
12. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the outer shell includes a through hole that is aligned with the through hole of the collar, and the upper portion of the flame sheet protrudes upward through the through hole of the outer shell.
13. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the light-emitting element is configured to produce a beam profile that projects a generally elliptical light pattern towards the upper portion of the flame sheet.
14. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the control circuitry includes a microprocessor configured to produce a time varying output signal to energize the one or more light-emitting elements.
15. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the flame sheet comprises a wire embedded therein that is visible through a material of the flame sheet to resemble a candle wick.
16. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the outer shell is semi-transparent.
17. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the outer shell is at least partially coated with wax.
18. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the outer shell includes an irregularly-shaped top section to resemble a melted top of a real candle.
19. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the one or more light-emitting elements are operable to emit a blinking light onto the top portion of the flame element to create a flickering effect of a candle flame.
20. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, further comprising a battery compartment to contain one or more batteries and to electrically connect the one or more batteries with the control circuitry to supply electrical power to the control circuitry.
21. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the one or more light-emitting elements are oriented an angle of approximately 35 degrees with respect to the flame sheet.
22. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein at least a top section of the one the one or more light-emitting elements protrudes through the one or more notches formed on the sidewall of the core to illuminate the top portion of the flame sheet at the inclined angle.
23. The electronic lighting device of claim 1, wherein the one the one or more light-emitting elements are held in place within the one or more notches formed on the sidewall of the core.
