Description
BACKGROUND
1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a candle warmer with a height adjustment function, and more particularly, to a candle warmer with a height adjustment function that includes a base frame, a height adjustment support, a heating shade, a heating element fixer, and a heating element and adjusts a height between a candle and a heating element, thus allowing a user to flexibly correspond to various forms or types of scent-releasing candles used and allowing a scent release effect to last by efficiently melting a candle even when the candle melts and shortens.


2. Discussion of Related Art

Generally, a candle warmer is a device that uses a light source providing high-temperature heat, such as a halogen lamp, to radiate the high-temperature heat toward a candle including a scent component such as aroma and melts the top of the candle by the radiated heat to diffuse the scent included in the candle in the air.


Using such a candle warmer, there is an effect of allowing a scent of a candle to be released even when the candle is not lighted. In this way, there are advantages in that convenience in use is increased and it is possible to address a problem of spread of particulate matter due to burning a candle.


A conventional candle warmer includes a main body having one side on which a candle is mounted, a lamp disposed above the candle to emit luminescent heat, a socket configured to supply power to the lamp, a lampshade disposed in a form surrounding the lamp and the socket to concentrate light and heat emitted from the lamp, a support guide configured to allow the socket to be fastened to the lampshade, and an extension pipe formed to extend from the other side of the main body so that the support guide is disposed at a predetermined height.


Here, the conventional candle warmer is assembled by welding each fastening portion so that the socket, the lampshade, the support guide, and the extension pipe are fastened to each other. Due to the welding fastening method, there are problems that not only the product manufacturing time is increased, but also the manufacturing process becomes complex and the manufacturing cost is increased due to having to remove a dummy portion and apply a varnish to prevent oxidation of welded parts after welding.


Further, candles of various sizes with different heights are being sold in the market, and while a height of the top of a typical candle gradually decreases as the candle melts and a paraffin component evaporates therefrom, an installation position of a lamp is fixed in the conventional candle warmer, and thus there are problems that, when a candle in the candle warmer is replaced with a candle with a low height or as a height of the candle decreases with an increase in the use time, the luminescent heat transferred to the top of the candle is reduced and scent release performance is degraded.
