BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an aroma and lighting emitting system.
2. Description of the Related Art
In the prior art of aroma warmer designs, candle warmers are made by ceramics or a low thermal conductivity material with a great volume defined inside and with a heater burned scented candle releasing fragrance without a light emitting effect. For example, from the present inventor, such as U.S. Pat. No. 7,133,605 B2 and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/828,043, a container is used to transmit a heated source to an aromatic substance. The aromatic substance is heated in the middle and the other part of the aromatic substance is far away from the heated source. The fragrance is only generated in the middle part of the aromatic substance, so it is less easy to produce a sufficient amount of fragrance instantly, and you need to wait for a long time to smell the fragrance. Also, the heated source is concentrated in the central part of the aromatic substance, so it is difficult to completely vaporize the aromatic substance, and the aromatic substance residual is often formed into waste.
In the existing aroma warmer designs, for example, a heating container of a candle warmer houses a fixed aromatic substance. For example, a metal container fixed to the aroma warmer. The interior of the metal container is filled with an aromatic substance, so the use of aromatic substances and the replacement of aromatic substances are limited.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view, in some embodiments of the present invention disclose an aroma and lighting emitting system, which provides lighting effect and fragrance in a space to create a result of a olfactory-active and visual-active atmosphere within an environment;
The following embodiments of the present invention is to provide an aroma and lighting emitting system comprising:
- an aroma warmer, said aroma warmer comprising a connection device, a hollow heating element, a thermal conduction device, a shell, a housing, a control circuit board with an illumination device, and a base, said shell having a first top opening and an opposing first bottom opening, said housing having a second top opening and an opposing second bottom opening, said base being fastened to said second bottom opening of said housing, said connection device being mounted inside said housing and having one end thereof facing toward said second top opening and fastened to a bottom of said thermal conduction device, said hollow heating element surrounding said connection device, said hollow heating element having an opposing top side abutted against a bottom side of said thermal conduction device.
The shell can detachably assemble on the housing, the shell defines an interior volume that is adapted for a detachable aromatic substance container being heated by the thermal conduction device from the hollow heating element to release scent through the first top opening.
Said connection device has an opposing end fastened to the base; said shell is provided with a plurality of light holes for radiating the light from the control circuit board with an illumination device; whereby provides lighting effect and fragrance in a space to create a result of olfactory-active and visual-active atmosphere within an environment.
It is some other embodiments of the present invention to provide an aroma and lighting emitting system comprising an aroma warmer, which allows the aromatic substance container from the aroma warmer to be removably and detachably replaced easily. Accordingly, the multiple choices of aromatic substance flavors are not limited.
In some embodiments of the present invention to provide an aroma and lighting emitting system comprising an aroma warmer, the hollow heating element is an annular heating element or a similar annular heating element. The annular heating element can distribute the heated source between the center and surroundings of the thermal conduction device. The feature of the annular heating element is that instead of focusing on the heated source in the center, it will let the heated source scattered around. In this way, the annular heating element can heat the thermal conduction device evenly so the thermal conduction device can evenly transfer heat to the aromatic substance container, which enables the aromatic substances to be completely vaporized without leaving a residue.
The present invention eliminates the problems of limiting heated source power and poor heating of aromatic substances of conventional aroma warmers. The heated sources of the conventional aroma warmers are provided to focus on the center of the aromatic substance. Due to the limitation of the aromatic substance, the heating effect of the conventional aroma warmers is poor, so after the aroma warmer is powered on, you also need to wait for a period of time to allow enough fragrance to spread into the space. The annular heating element of the aroma warmer and lighting emitting system of the present invention disperses the heated source to evenly heat the aromatic substance, improving the problem that the heated source of the conventional heating element is concentrated in the center of the aromatic substance. At the same time, the aroma warmer and lighting emitting system of the present invention can also rapidly generate an aromatic scent in the air by using a dispersed heated source of the annular heating element.
