In one embodiment, the power selection control circuit 16 may include, for example, a micro control unit (MCU) related integrated circuit (IC).
於一個實施例中，如圖3所示，電源選擇控制電路16具有第一開關161、第二開關162及控制單元163。第一開關161設置於第一供電路徑上，用於導通第一供電路徑。第二開關162設置於第二供電路徑上，用於導通第二供電路徑。第一供電路徑連接充電電池14和微處理器13。第二供電路徑連接電源選擇控制電路16和微處理器13。第一開關161和第二開關162受控於控制單元163而導通。舉例來說，當電源選擇控制電路16接收到外部主電源的電源電能時，控制單元163導通第二開關162，且將部分的電源電能提供給充電控制器15，並經由第二供電路徑將另一部分的電源電能提供給微處理器13。當充電控制器15接收到電源電能時，充電控制器15依據電源電能工作，並輸出充電電能至充電電池14。當微處理器13接收到電源電能時，微處理器13依據接收到的電源電能控制發光元件12發光。In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the power supply selection control circuit 16 has a first switch 161, a second switch 162, and a control unit 163.

When the microprocessor 13 receives the power of the power source, the microprocessor 13 controls the light-emitting element 12 to emit light in accordance with the received power source power.
於此實施例中，電源選擇控制電路16將電源電能提供給充電控制器15和微處理器13其中至少一。也就是說，當充電控制器15監測充電電池14的電壓大小未到達設定值時，電源選擇控制電路16會將電源電能提供給微處理器13和充電控制器15。當充電控制器15監測充電電池14的電壓大小到達設定值時，電源選擇控制電路16會將大部分的電源電能提供給微處理器13，但不以此為限。In this embodiment, the power supply selection control circuit 16 provides power supply power to at least one of the charge controller 15 and the microprocessor 13. That is, when the charge controller 15 monitors that the magnitude of the voltage of the rechargeable battery 14 has not reached the set value, the power supply selection control circuit 16 supplies the power supply to the microprocessor 13 and the charge controller 15. When the charge controller 15 monitors that the voltage level of the rechargeable battery 14 reaches the set value, the power supply selection control circuit 16 supplies most of the power supply power to the microprocessor 13, but not limited thereto.
當電源選擇控制電路16未接收到外部主電源的電源電能時，控制單元163截止第二開關162，且導通第一開關161，由充電電池14對微處理器13供電。When the power selection control circuit 16 does not receive the power of the external main power source, the control unit 163 turns off the second switch 162, and turns on the first switch 161, and the microprocessor 13 supplies power to the microprocessor 13.
接下來，請一併參照圖4及圖5，圖4係根據本新型再一實施例所繪示之電子蠟燭的示意圖，圖5係根據本新型再一實施例所繪示之電子蠟燭的功能方塊圖。如圖所示，電子蠟燭20具有本體21、發光元件22、微處理器23、充電電池24、充電控制器25、電源選擇控制電路26、電源轉換器27、插座28及切換開關29。發光元件22、微處理器23、充電電池24、充電控制器25、電源選擇控制電路26及電源轉換器27封裝於本體21內。於本實施例中，本體21、發光元件22、微處理器23、充電電池24和充電控制器25和電源選擇控制電路26與前一個實施例大致上相同。於本實施例中，電源轉換器27封裝於本體21內，插座28顯露於本體21。插座28例如設置於本體21的外側面或底部，以電性連接外部主電源。電源轉換器27透過插座28接收到外部主電源的電源電能時，電源轉換器27將主電源的電源電能轉換成適合電子蠟燭20的電源電能大小，並將轉換後的部分電源電能提供給充電控制器25，並經由第二供電路徑將轉換後的另一部分電源電能提供給微處理器23。4 and FIG. 5, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an electronic candle according to still another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a function of an electronic candle according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Block diagram. As shown, the electronic candle 20 has a body 21, a light-emitting element 22, a microprocessor 23, a rechargeable battery 24, a charge controller 25, a power supply selection control circuit 26, a power converter 27, a socket 28, and a changeover switch 29. The light-emitting element 22, the microprocessor 23, the rechargeable battery 24, the charge controller 25, the power supply selection control circuit 26, and the power converter 27 are housed in the body 21. In the present embodiment, the body 21, the light-emitting element 22, the microprocessor 23, the rechargeable battery 24, the charge controller 25, and the power supply selection control circuit 26 are substantially the same as the previous embodiment. In the present embodiment, the power converter 27 is packaged in the body 21, and the socket 28 is exposed to the body 21. The socket 28 is disposed, for example, on the outer side or the bottom of the body 21 to electrically connect the external main power source. When the power converter 27 receives the power of the external main power source through the socket 28, the power converter 27 converts the power of the main power source into a power source suitable for the electronic candle 20, and supplies the converted part of the power source to the charging control. And supplying another portion of the converted power supply power to the microprocessor 23 via the second power supply path.
換言之，在實際的例子中，當插座28電性連接外部的主電源時，充電控制器25和微處理器23皆可以接收到電源電能。充電控制器25依據接收到的電源電能輸出充電電能，以對充電電池24充電。微處理器23依據接收到電源電能，控制發光元件22發光。當插座28未電性連接外部的主電源時，電源轉換器27未接收到電源電能，此時，控制單元263截止第二開關262，且導通第一開關261，由充電電池24對微處理器23供電。In other words, in the actual example, when the outlet 28 is electrically connected to the external main power source, both the charge controller 25 and the microprocessor 23 can receive the power of the power source. The charge controller 25 outputs charging power in accordance with the received power source to charge the rechargeable battery 24. The microprocessor 23 controls the light-emitting element 22 to emit light in accordance with the reception of the power of the power source. When the socket 28 is not electrically connected to the external main power source, the power converter 27 does not receive the power source power. At this time, the control unit 263 turns off the second switch 262, and turns on the first switch 261, and the rechargeable battery 24 pairs the microprocessor. 23 power supply.
於本實施例中，電源轉換器27可以有線連接或無線連接的方式接收外部主電源的電源電能。舉例來說，電源轉換器27例如為無線充電模組，用以無線地接收外部無線供電模組提供的電能，並將外部無線供電模組提供的電能轉換成電源電能以提供給電子蠟燭20內部的其他元件。In the present embodiment, the power converter 27 can receive the power of the external main power source in a wired connection or a wireless connection. For example, the power converter 27 is, for example, a wireless charging module for wirelessly receiving power provided by an external wireless power supply module, and converting the power provided by the external wireless power supply module into power supply power for providing to the interior of the electronic candle 20 Other components.
於其他實施例中，電源轉換器27可以額外地電性連接太陽能模組，以太陽能模組以接收外部的電源電能。舉例來說，太陽能模組例如具有太陽能發電板和發電模組，且太陽能發電板顯露於本體21，發電模組封裝於本體21內。太陽能發電板用以接收外部的太陽能，並將接收的太陽能傳送至發電模組，由發電模組將光能轉換成電能後，提供給電源轉換器27。In other embodiments, the power converter 27 can additionally electrically connect the solar module to the solar module to receive external power. For example, the solar module has a solar power generation panel and a power generation module, and the solar power generation panel is exposed on the body 21, and the power generation module is packaged in the body 21. The solar power panel is configured to receive external solar energy, and transmit the received solar energy to the power generation module, and the power module converts the light energy into electrical energy, and then supplies the power to the power converter 27.
切換開關29例如顯露於本體21且電性連接微處理器23。切換開關29可以為兩段式、三段式、按壓式或其他合適的開關，本實施例不予限制。當微處理器23接收到電池電能或電源電能時，微處理器23會依據切換開關29的指示，控制發光元件22操作於第一模式、第二模式或其他更多的模式之間。The changeover switch 29 is exposed, for example, to the body 21 and is electrically connected to the microprocessor 23. The switch 29 can be a two-stage, three-stage, push-type or other suitable switch, which is not limited in this embodiment. When the microprocessor 23 receives battery power or power, the microprocessor 23 controls the light-emitting element 22 to operate between the first mode, the second mode, or other modes depending on the indication of the switch 29.
舉例來說，第一模式和第二模式例如於視覺效果上具有區別。也就是說，微處理器23控制發光元件22在進行發光時，會有閃爍和發光亮度的變化，使發光元件22產生的燈火具有仿真燭火流動速度的視覺效果。而發光元件22在第一模式下的仿真燭火流動速度大於發光元件22於第二模式下的仿真燭火流動速度。For example, the first mode and the second mode have differences in visual effects, for example. That is to say, the microprocessor 23 controls the light-emitting element 22 to have a change in flicker and light-emitting luminance when light is emitted, so that the light generated by the light-emitting element 22 has a visual effect of simulating the flow velocity of the candle. The simulated candlelight flow velocity of the light-emitting element 22 in the first mode is greater than the simulated candlelight flow velocity of the light-emitting component 22 in the second mode.
於另一個例子中，第一模式和第二模式例如於發光元件22發光數量上的區別。例如當發光元件22的數量為多個時，於第一模式下發光元件22發光的數量高於於第二模式下發光元件22發光的數量。於圖4的實施例中，發光元件22分別設置於上排與下排，於第一模式下，上排和下排的發光元件22均發光。於第二模式下，僅有上排的發光元件22發光。於所屬技術領域具有通常知識者可以依據實際的需求設計第一模式和第二模式，本實施例不予限制。In another example, the first mode and the second mode are, for example, differences in the number of illuminations of the light-emitting elements 22. For example, when the number of the light-emitting elements 22 is plural, the number of light-emitting elements 22 that emit light in the first mode is higher than the number of light-emitting elements 22 that emit light in the second mode. In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the light-emitting elements 22 are respectively disposed in the upper row and the lower row. In the first mode, the light-emitting elements 22 of the upper row and the lower row are both illuminated. In the second mode, only the upper row of light-emitting elements 22 emit light. Those skilled in the art can design the first mode and the second mode according to actual needs, which is not limited in this embodiment.
於本實施例中，微處理器23亦可以依據供電來源而控制發光元件22的操作功率。舉例來說，當微處理器23判斷目前的供電來源是充電電池提供的電池電能時，微處理器23降低發光元件22於第一模式和第二模式下的發光功率。也就是說，當充電電池24提供電池電能給微處理器23時，不論在第一模式或第二模式下，發光元件22的發光功率低於以外部電源提供電源電能給微處理器23時發光元件22的發光功率。微處理器23可以從電源選擇控制電路26取得目前供電的來源，或直接以收到的電能判斷供電來源，本實施例不予限制。In the embodiment, the microprocessor 23 can also control the operating power of the light-emitting element 22 according to the power source. For example, when the microprocessor 23 determines that the current source of power supply is battery power provided by the rechargeable battery, the microprocessor 23 reduces the luminous power of the light-emitting element 22 in the first mode and the second mode. That is, when the rechargeable battery 24 supplies battery power to the microprocessor 23, whether in the first mode or the second mode, the light-emitting power of the light-emitting element 22 is lower than when the power is supplied from the external power source to the microprocessor 23. The luminous power of element 22. The microprocessor 23 can obtain the source of the current power supply from the power supply selection control circuit 26, or directly determine the power supply source from the received power, which is not limited in this embodiment.
於其他實施例中，當微處理器23判斷目前的供電來源是充電電池24提供的電池電能時，微處理器23亦可以依據充電電池24的電壓大小，控制發光元件22於第一模式和第二模式下的發光功率，也就是說，微處理器23可以依據充電電池24的電量，調整發光元件的發光功率，而使得電子蠟燭20的運作時間較長。同理地，微處理器23可以從充電控制器25取得充電電池24的電壓大小，或直接以收到的電池電能判斷充電電池24的電壓大小，本實施例不予限制。In other embodiments, when the microprocessor 23 determines that the current power supply source is the battery power provided by the rechargeable battery 24, the microprocessor 23 can also control the light-emitting element 22 in the first mode according to the voltage level of the rechargeable battery 24. The light-emitting power in the two modes, that is, the microprocessor 23 can adjust the light-emitting power of the light-emitting element according to the amount of charge of the rechargeable battery 24, so that the operation time of the electronic candle 20 is long. Similarly, the microprocessor 23 can obtain the voltage level of the rechargeable battery 24 from the charging controller 25, or directly determine the voltage level of the rechargeable battery 24 based on the received battery power, which is not limited in this embodiment.
請參照圖6，圖6係根據本新型又一實施例所繪示之電子蠟燭的功能方塊圖。如圖6所示，電子蠟燭30具有本體31、發光元件32、微處理器33、充電電池34、充電控制器35、電源選擇控制電路36、電源轉換器37、插座38、切換開關391及傾測開關392。發光元件32、微處理器33、充電電池34、充電控制器35、電源選擇控制電路36、電源轉換器37及傾測開關392封裝於本體31內，且發光元件32、微處理器33、充電電池34、充電控制器35、電源選擇控制電路36、電源轉換器37、插座38、切換開關391與前一個實施例大致上相同。Please refer to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram of an electronic candle according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the electronic candle 30 has a main body 31, a light-emitting element 32, a microprocessor 33, a rechargeable battery 34, a charge controller 35, a power supply selection control circuit 36, a power converter 37, a socket 38, a changeover switch 391, and a tilting Test switch 392. The light-emitting element 32, the microprocessor 33, the rechargeable battery 34, the charge controller 35, the power supply selection control circuit 36, the power converter 37, and the tilt switch 392 are packaged in the body 31, and the light-emitting element 32, the microprocessor 33, and the charging The battery 34, the charge controller 35, the power source selection control circuit 36, the power converter 37, the socket 38, and the changeover switch 391 are substantially the same as the previous embodiment.
於本實施例中，傾測開關392封裝於本體31內，且電性連接微處理器33。傾測開關392例如為水銀開關、滾珠開關或其他合適的開關。傾測開關392係藉由傾斜的角度而導通，也就是說，傾斜開關392中具有導通基準件，導通基準件位於第一位置時傾斜開關392導通，導通基準件位於第二位置時傾斜開關392不導通。於水銀開關中，導通基準件例如水銀。於滾珠開關中，導通基準件例如滾珠。In the embodiment, the tilting switch 392 is packaged in the body 31 and electrically connected to the microprocessor 33. The tilt switch 392 is, for example, a mercury switch, a ball switch, or other suitable switch. The tilting switch 392 is turned on by the tilting angle, that is, the tilting switch 392 has a conductive reference member, the tilting switch 392 is turned on when the conductive reference member is in the first position, and the tilting switch 392 is when the conductive reference member is in the second position. Not conductive. In the mercury switch, a reference member such as mercury is turned on. In the ball switch, a reference member such as a ball is turned on.
本體22配合傾測開關392的導通而可翻轉地位於第一狀態和第二狀態，例如本體22具有相對的第一面和第二面，當第一面朝上第二面朝下時，本體22位於第一狀態。當第二面朝上第一面朝下時，本體22位於第二狀態。於第一狀態下，傾測開關392不導通，微處理器33依據傾測開關392不導通而控制發光元件32不發光。於第二狀態下，傾測開關392導通，微處理器33依據切換開關391的指示而控制發光元件32操作於第一模式或第二模式下。The body 22 is reversibly located in the first state and the second state in cooperation with the conduction of the tilting switch 392. For example, the body 22 has opposite first and second faces, and when the first face faces the second face, the body 22 is in the first state. When the second face is facing up, the body 22 is in the second state. In the first state, the tilt switch 392 is not turned on, and the microprocessor 33 controls the light-emitting element 32 not to emit light according to the non-conduction of the tilt switch 392. In the second state, the tilt switch 392 is turned on, and the microprocessor 33 controls the light-emitting element 32 to operate in the first mode or the second mode according to the indication of the switch 391.
以實際的例子來說，當電子蠟燭30被翻轉為第一面朝上時，發光元件32皆不發光。當電子蠟燭30被翻轉為第二面朝上，且切換開關指示發光元件32操作於第一模式下時，上排的發光元件32和下排的發光元件32皆發光。當切換開關指示發光元件32切換操作於第二模式下時，下排的發光元件32不發光，僅剩上排的發光元件32發光。此時，再將電子蠟燭30翻轉為第一面朝上，上排的發光元件32亦不發光。In a practical example, when the electronic candle 30 is turned over with the first side facing up, the light-emitting elements 32 do not emit light. When the electronic candle 30 is turned over with the second face up, and the switch indicates that the light-emitting element 32 is operating in the first mode, both the upper row of light-emitting elements 32 and the lower row of light-emitting elements 32 are illuminated. When the switch indicates that the light-emitting element 32 is switched to operate in the second mode, the light-emitting elements 32 of the lower row do not emit light, and only the light-emitting elements 32 of the upper row remain illuminated. At this time, the electronic candle 30 is turned over again with the first face up, and the light-emitting elements 32 of the upper row are not illuminated.
於另一個實施例中，亦可以由感光開關取代切換開關391於傾測開關392導通時，控制發光元件32操作於第一模式或第二模式。舉例來說，感光開關例如為光敏電阻、光電晶體、光檢測二極體或其他感光元件與開關的組合，開關例如是電晶體開關、電磁開關、微動開關、磁簧開關或其他合適的開關。以光敏電阻和電晶體開關為例來說，光敏電阻依據電子蠟燭30所在環境的亮暗程度，將光訊號轉換成電訊號以控制電晶體開關導通或關閉。當電子蠟燭30的傾測開關392導通時，微處理器33依據電晶體開關是否導通而控制發光元件32操作於第一模式或第二模式。換言之，電子蠟燭30可以在傾測開關392導通時，判斷所在環境亮度為明亮時，讓發光元件32發出的亮度較高。當所在環境亮度為昏暗時，讓發光元件32發出的亮度較低。In another embodiment, instead of the switch 391 being turned on by the photosensitive switch, the light-emitting element 32 can be controlled to operate in the first mode or the second mode. For example, the photosensitive switch is, for example, a photoresistor, a photoelectric crystal, a photodetecting diode, or a combination of other photosensitive elements and switches, such as a transistor switch, an electromagnetic switch, a micro switch, a reed switch, or other suitable switch. Taking the photoresistor and the transistor switch as an example, the photoresistor converts the optical signal into an electrical signal according to the brightness of the environment in which the electronic candle 30 is located to control the transistor switch to be turned on or off. When the tilt switch 392 of the electronic candle 30 is turned on, the microprocessor 33 controls the light-emitting element 32 to operate in the first mode or the second mode depending on whether the transistor switch is turned on. In other words, the electronic candle 30 can make the brightness emitted by the light-emitting element 32 higher when the brightness of the environment is bright when the tilt switch 392 is turned on. When the brightness of the environment is dim, the brightness emitted by the light-emitting element 32 is low.
於其他實施例中，切換開關391亦可以替換為光敏電阻、光電晶體或光檢測二極體或其他感光元件與控制器的組合。感光元件依據電子蠟燭30所在環境的亮暗程度將光訊號轉換成電訊號，例如電壓或電流。控制器依據感光元件產生的電訊號大小轉換成亮度指示訊號。當電子蠟燭30的傾測開關392導通時，微處理器33依據控制器產生的亮度指示訊號，控制發光元件32發出的光線亮度。換言之，當電子蠟燭30的傾測開關392導通時，電子蠟燭30可以依據所在環境亮度的變化，控制發光元件32發出不同亮度的光。於其他實施例中，感光元件所感測的光線可以另外透過感光靈敏度控制、濾光或結構的設計，排除感測到發光元件32發出的光線。於本實施例中，傾測開關392係指示微處理器32是否控制發光元件32發光，但不限制當電子蠟燭30外接外部主電源時充電電池34是否繼續充電。於其他實施例中，當傾測開關392不導通時，微處理器32控制發光元件32不發光，但當電子蠟燭30有外接外部主電源時，充電電池34仍進行充電。In other embodiments, the changeover switch 391 can also be replaced by a photoresistor, a photonic crystal or a photodetector diode or a combination of other photosensitive elements and a controller. The photosensitive element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, such as a voltage or current, depending on the brightness of the environment in which the electronic candle 30 is located. The controller converts into a brightness indication signal according to the size of the electrical signal generated by the photosensitive element. When the tilt switch 392 of the electronic candle 30 is turned on, the microprocessor 33 controls the brightness of the light emitted by the light-emitting element 32 according to the brightness indication signal generated by the controller. In other words, when the tilt switch 392 of the electronic candle 30 is turned on, the electronic candle 30 can control the light emitting element 32 to emit light of different brightness depending on the change in the brightness of the environment. In other embodiments, the light sensed by the photosensitive element can be additionally transmitted through the photosensitive sensitivity control, filtering or structural design to eliminate the sensing of the light emitted by the light-emitting element 32. In the present embodiment, the tilt switch 392 indicates whether the microprocessor 32 controls the light-emitting element 32 to emit light, but does not limit whether the rechargeable battery 34 continues to be charged when the electronic candle 30 is externally connected to the external main power source. In other embodiments, when the tilt switch 392 is not conducting, the microprocessor 32 controls the light-emitting element 32 to not emit light, but when the electronic candle 30 has an external external main power source, the rechargeable battery 34 is still charged.
本實施例中以傾測開關392控制發光元件32不發光，實際上，亦可以直接透過切換開關391的指示，使微處理器33依據控制發光元件32更操作於第三模式。也就是說，切換開關391除了前述的第一模式或第二模式外，更可指示微處理器33操作於第三模式。當微處理器33操作於第三模式下時，發光元件32不發光。In the present embodiment, the light-emitting element 32 is controlled to emit light by the tilting switch 392. In fact, the microprocessor 33 can be directly operated in the third mode according to the control light-emitting element 32 by directly transmitting the indication of the switch 391. That is to say, the switch 391 can instruct the microprocessor 33 to operate in the third mode in addition to the first mode or the second mode described above. When the microprocessor 33 is operated in the third mode, the light-emitting element 32 does not emit light.
綜合以上所述，本新型實施例提供一種電子蠟燭，藉由微處理器控制發光元件，使發光元件可以產生仿真蠟燭燭火的燈光，而發光元件設置於例如以蠟製成的本體內，使得電子蠟燭的外型更近似於傳統蠟燭。而電子蠟燭藉由電源的管理，可以選擇地以充電電池或外部電源對發光元件和微處理器供電，並一併地對充電電池充電，進而達到電子蠟燭的續用性和方便性。據此，電子蠟燭不會受使用空間的限制，而可以被運用於各種空間環境中。In summary, the present invention provides an electronic candle, wherein the light-emitting element can control the light-emitting element to generate a light that simulates a candle candle, and the light-emitting element is disposed in a body made of, for example, wax, so that the electronic candle is controlled by the microprocessor. The appearance of electronic candles is more similar to traditional candles. The electronic candle can selectively supply power to the light-emitting element and the microprocessor by using a rechargeable battery or an external power source, and charge the rechargeable battery together, thereby achieving the continuation and convenience of the electronic candle. Accordingly, electronic candles are not limited by the space used, but can be used in various space environments.
