FIG. 2 is a combined sectional view of the embodiment;

fig. 3 is a sectional view similar to fig. 2, illustrating a state in which fine sand of the embodiment flows downward to be accumulated on a bottom cover, and in which the height positions of a light emitting element and a decoration element of the embodiment are lowered with respect to the height position of fig. 2.

Detailed Description

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, an embodiment of the electronic incense of the present invention comprises a incense stick tube 1, a bottom cover 2, a plurality of fine sands 3, a lighting member 4, a decoration member 5, a top cover 6, an adjusting member 7, and an insertion member 8.

The incense stick tube 1 is a hollow tube body extending in the up-down direction, and comprises a transparent upper tube section 11 and an opaque lower tube section 12 connected below the upper tube section 11. The lower tubular section 12 of the present invention can be formed by spraying red pigment similar to the red bottom section of a real incense stick on the outer surface of the lower tubular section 1 made of transparent glass or plastic. The upper tube section 11 and the lower tube section 12 together define an accommodating space 10, and a narrowing portion 13 is disposed inside the lower tube section 12, and an inner thread is formed on an inner tube surface thereof. The constriction 13 can be an additional element mounted to the inner surface of the lower pipe section 12, as in the present embodiment, but can also be integrally formed in the lower pipe section 12. The narrowing portion 13 is annular and has a first annular inclined surface 131 extending from top to bottom gradually and radially inward, and a second annular inclined surface 132 located below the first annular inclined surface 131 and extending from top to bottom gradually and radially outward. The constriction 13 defines a constriction 133 at the intersection of the first ring ramp 131 and the second ring ramp 132.

The bottom cover 2 is detachably installed at the bottom of the lower pipe section 12, and the bottom cover 2 is screwed with the lower pipe section 12 and includes a cover surrounding surface 21 contacting the lower pipe section 12 and formed with an external thread for screwing with the internal thread of the lower pipe section 12.

The fine sand 3 is accommodated in the accommodating space 10 and can flow downward from the upper pipe section 11 through the narrow opening 133. The appearance color of the fine sand 3 is similar to the earthy yellow of the prior incense stick.

The light emitting member 4 is used for emitting red light and is disposed in the accommodating space 10 and above the fine sand 3. The glowing member 4 can be lowered while the fine sand 3 flows downward. The illuminating element 4 is actually disposed on a circuit board 41, and can be connected to a built-in battery or an external power source through the circuit board 41 to receive the power provided by the battery or the external power source to illuminate. Since the circuit design and connection lines are not the main point of the improvement of the present invention, they will not be described.

The decoration 5 is located above the illuminating member 4 and can descend along with the illuminating member 4. The decoration 5 is grey white and is used for simulating grey white ash remained on the top of the incense stick when the existing incense stick is burnt.

The top cover 6 is detachably mounted on the top of the upper tube section 11 of the incense stick tube 1 for closing the top opening of the incense stick tube 1. The top cover 6 is made of transparent material and has elasticity so as to be partially inserted into the top of the accommodating space 10.

The adjusting member 7 extends upward from the bottom cover 2 into the accommodating space 10 and can be driven to move up and down. The adjusting member 7 of this embodiment is in the shape of an elongated needle and has an adjusting section 71 adjacent to the narrow throat 133 for adjusting the size of the lower opening of the narrow throat 133.

The inserting piece 8 extends downwards from the bottom cover 2 and is in a shape of a slender needle, and the incense burner can be inserted and positioned in the incense burner through the inserting piece 8.

When the incense burner is used, the fine sand 3 is light earthy yellow, and the upper pipe section 11 of the incense burner pipe 1 is transparent, so that the fine sand 3 can simulate the appearance effect of an earthy yellow cylinder of the existing incense burner, and the light-emitting piece 4 emits red light to match with the grey-white color of the decorating piece 5, so that red ashes and white ashes at the top of the incense burner during burning can be simulated. The lower tube section 12 is opaque and painted with red color similar to the bottom section of the incense stick on its outer tube surface, so as to cooperate with the fine sand 3 in the upper tube section 11 to form an integral column-like shape and color similar to the existing incense stick, and to shield the narrow part 13 and the adjusting member 7 inside.

Because the adjusting member 7 is disposed on the bottom cover 2 in a linkage manner, and the bottom cover 2 can be fixed at the bottom of the lower tube section 12 in a rotating and locking manner, the depth of the bottom cover 2 and the adjusting member 7 extending into the lower tube section 12 can be adjusted, thereby closing or opening the narrow opening 133 and controlling the sand leakage speed. When the height of the adjusting member 7 is higher and the adjusting section 71 is inserted into the narrow opening 133 (as shown in fig. 2), the narrow opening 133 can be blocked, and the fine sand 3 will not flow downward. When the height position of the adjusting member 7 is adjusted by the user to be lowered so as not to block the narrow opening 133 (see fig. 3), the narrow portion 13 is designed to be similar to an hourglass structure, so that the fine sand 3 can flow downward through the narrow opening 133, and as time goes by, the amount of the fine sand 3 which flows downward and is accumulated on the bottom cover 2 is increased, the height of the fine sand 3 in the upper pipe section 11 is gradually lowered, and the illuminating member 4 and the decorating member 5 are also lowered, thereby simulating the state that after the existing incense stick is ignited, the incense stick is gradually shortened due to combustion, and red ashes and white ashes at the top of the incense stick are also lowered. When the fine sand 3 is fully accumulated on the bottom cover 2, the electronic incense of the present invention can be inverted, so that the fine sand 3 flows back to the upper pipe section 11 through the narrow necking 133, and then the present invention is erected to simulate incense burning again.

It should be noted that the adjusting member 7 can be used to close or open the narrow opening 133, and also can be used to control the size of the opening below the narrow opening 133 to control the sand leaking speed. For example, when the flow speed of the fine sand 3 is to be accelerated, the bottom cover 2 is rotated to move the position of the adjusting member 7 downward, so that the space at the opening below the narrow throat 133, which is shielded by the adjusting section 71, can be reduced, thereby accelerating the sand leakage speed (for example, after the bottom cover 2 and the adjusting member 7 in fig. 3 are moved downward, the sand leakage speed can be accelerated). When the flow speed of the fine sand 3 is to be adjusted slowly, the position of the adjusting member 7 can be adjusted to be raised, so that the opening below the narrow opening 133 is reduced, and the sand leakage speed is reduced.

In summary, the fine sand 3 can flow downward through the narrow necking 133, and the light emitting element 4 and the decoration element 5 are matched to simulate the existing incense burning to gradually shorten and the descending state of red ashes and white ashes, so that the combustion process is dynamically simulated, the simulation effect is good, and the vivid incense burning visual effect can be presented.

The above description is only an example of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should not be limited thereby, and the invention is still within the scope of the present invention by simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and the contents of the specification.
