Abstract

An electronic cake includes an inner base, an outer base, a driving device, a bottom shell, a rotatable platform, a number of candle-like lamps, a controlling device and a power source. The outer base is loosely sleeved on the inner base forming a predetermined guiding groove there-between. The bottom shell is rotatably received in the inner base by the driving device. The rotatable platform is attached on the bottom shell. The candle-like lamps are slidably attached on the rotatable platform. Each candle-like lamp has a supporting leg extending out from a side wall of the rotatable platform and received in the predetermined guiding groove. The controlling device is positioned in the rotatable platform. The power source is electrically connected to the driving device and the candle-like lamps via the controlling device for supply driving electric power to the driving device and the candle-like lamps.

Claims (23)

1. An electronic cake comprising:

an inner base;

an outer base loosely sleeved on the inner base, and cooperatively defining a predetermined guiding groove between an upper rim of the inner base and a bottom surface of the outer base;

a driving device comprising a body and a rotor rotatably connected to the body, the rotor engaged with the inner base;

a bottom shell rotatably and drivably received in the inner base, the body of the driving device fixed in the bottom shell;

a rotatable platform fixedly attached to the bottom shell;

a plurality of candle-like lamps slidably attached on the rotatable platform, each candle-like lamp comprising a supporting leg extended out from a side wall of the rotatable platform and received in the predetermined guiding groove;

a controlling device fixed in the rotatable platform or the bottom shell and configured for controlling the driving device and the candle-like lamps; and

a power source fixed in the bottom shell, electrically connected to the driving device and the candle-like lamps and configured for supplying electric power to the driving device and the candle-like lamps.

2. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each candle-like lamp comprises a hollow pole, a cover, and a light; the cover attached on an upper end of the hollow pole, the light mounted on the outer surface of the cover.

3. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the candle-like lamp further comprises a sensor received in the hollow pole and mounted on an inner surface of the cover; each cover of the hollow pole defines a number of ducts therein; and the sensor is electrically connected with the controlling device and configured for detecting airflow flowing through the ducts of the cover and sending a signal to the controlling device to turn off the light and the driving device according to the detected airflow.

4. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the supporting leg of the candle-like lamp extends from the hollow pole adjacent to the lower end of the hollow pole.

5. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the inner base comprises a substrate and a cylindrical wall on the substrate, and the cylindrical wall comprises a curved upper cam end facing away the substrate defining a cam surface of the guiding groove.

6. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the outer base comprises a cylindrical outer wall having a radius greater than that of the cylindrical wall of the inner base, a flange portion protruded outward from one end of the cylindrical outer wall; and the outer base is mounted on the substrate of the inner base by the flange portion.

7. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the outer base further comprises a projection protruded inwards from the other end of the cylindrical outer wall, an inner wall perpendicularly projecting downward from the projection corresponding to the cylindrical wall of the inner base and spaced from the cylindrical wall by a predetermined distance.

8. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the inner wall comprises a curved lower cam end corresponding to the curved upper cam end of the cylindrical wall and cooperatively forming the guiding groove.

9. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the curved lower cam end of the inner wall is aligned with the curved upper cam end of the cylindrical wall.

10. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the inner wall comprises an inner radius approximately equal to that of the cylindrical wall of the inner base.

11. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bottom shell has a base sheet and cylindrical side wall extending upwards along a circumference of the base sheet, and the body of the driving device is mounted on the base sheet.

12. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the rotatable platform comprises a top sheet comprising a bottom surface, and a support extending from the bottom surface, and the support of the rotatable platform is mounted on the cylindrical side wall of the bottom shell.

13. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 12 , wherein a rib protrudes upward from an upper end of the cylindrical side wall along the inner circumference of the cylindrical side wall and abuts the rotatable platform.

14. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the top sheet defines a number of through holes in the peripheral area thereof; and the rotatable platform further comprises a plurality of tubes extending downwards from the bottom surface and communicating with responding through holes.

15. The electronic cake as claimed in claim 14 , wherein a plurality of sliding slots are defined on the support along the axis of the corresponding tubes and running through the adjacent tubes for allowing the supporting leg of the candle-like lamp extending out therefrom.
