CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)

This patent document claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201922274189.4, filed Dec. 17, 2019. The entire content of the before mentioned patent application is incorporated by reference in this patent document.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to electronic lighting technology, and more particularly, to a scented electronic candle device.

BACKGROUND

In home facilities, public restaurants, churches, temples, large theme parks or urban public infrastructures, candles are used to provide lighting and to create ceremonial or romantic atmospheres. However, a conventional candle has a short lifetime and needs to be replaced frequently. Moreover, a potential risk of fire due to the fire flame prevents candles from being widely used.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure relates to scented electronic candles that, among other features and benefits, provide rich visual and olfactory experiences to users.

In one example aspect, an electronic candle is disclosed. The electronic candle includes an outer shell comprising one or more small openings configured to allow a fragrance to exit to an ambient environment of the electronic candle. The outer shell further comprising a central opening that allows a flame element to protrude at least partially through the central opening of the outer shell. The flame element is supported by a support structure to allow movement of the flame element that mimics a real flame. The device includes a light emitting component positioned at an angle with respect to the movable flame element to emit a light onto the movable flame and a mounting base positioned below the movable flame element and the light emitting component. The light emitting component and at least part of the mounting base are enclosed by the outer shell. The device also includes a scent storage component removably coupled to the mounting base. The scent storage component comprises a container to store a fragrance and an absorption member configured to draw the fragrance from the container to the ambient environment of the electronic candle through the mounting base and the one or more small openings of the outer shell.

These, and other, aspects are described in the present document.
