[0021] The present invention relates to a modular fuel oil lamp for continual burning wick that is capable of lightening a fuel oil lamp for a user-specified time period by automatically adjusting the length of the wick and dispensing of the fuel. Additionally, the proposed lamp is capable of continuously monitoring the fuel level and flame intensity, and adjust the fuel supply for an optimum flame intensity.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 and 2, an isometric view of a modular fuel oil lamp for continual burning wick are illustrated, respectively, comprising of a platform 101 developed to be positioned on a fixed surface, plurality of suction cups 102 are arranged underneath the platform 101, an T-shaped hollow body 103 having a vertical member 105 installed on the platform 101, a horizontal member 104 arranged at mid-length of the vertical member 105, a spherical container 106 is arranged on tip of the vertical member 105 by means of a threaded structure 107 fabricated on the container 106’s neck and the tip of the member, a hemispherical plate 108 coupled with the horizontal member 104, a curved cylindrical stand 109 is mounted on centre of the plate, a microphone 110 integrated in the platform 101, a motorized iris operated lid 111 arranged on the vertical member 105’s tip, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 112 integrated on the platform 101, a telescopically operated U-shaped rod 113 attached with the plate, a scraper 114 attached on ends of the rod, plurality of flaps 115 are arranged at boundary of the plate each by means of a motorized hinge joint 116, a circular block 117 is installed below centre portion of the vertical member 105, a speaker 118 installed on the platform 101.

[0023] The proposed lamp comprises of a platform 101 designed to be positioned on a fixed surface, providing a stable base for various operations or equipment. The platform 101 is likely constructed from durable materials to support weight and withstand environmental conditions, ensuring it remains securely in place during use. A push button is integrated in the platform 101 for activating or deactivating the lamp. The user manually pushes the button, when the button is pressed the electrical circuit gets completed, allowing flow of electric current to actuates a microcontroller associated with the lamp that regulates the working of the lamp.

[0024] The platform 101 is configured with a plurality of suction cups 102 for creating a strong grip by adhering to the surface beneath the platform 101, effectively securing it in place. The arrangement ensures that the platform 101 remains stable and firmly positioned during operation, preventing any unwanted movement or slippage, thereby enhancing the overall stability and safety of the setup. The suction cups 102 used herein are made up of silicone rubber that easily eliminates pressure inside the suction cup and creating a vacuum between the cup and the surface which seals the surface tightly to the suction cup, resisting any slipping of the surface in order to affix the surface with the platform 101.

[0025] A T-shaped hollow body 103 is installed on the platform 101, consisting of a vertical member 105 and a horizontal member 104. The vertical member 105 is positioned upright on the platform 101, while the horizontal member 104 is arranged at the mid-length of the vertical member 105, extending outward on both sides. The design provides structural support and may also serve as a conduit or housing, allowing for the integration of additional functionalities or features depending on the application.

[0026] A spherical container 106 is mounted on the tip of the vertical member 105 using a threaded structure 107 fabricated on both the neck of the container 106 and the tip of the member. The threaded connection allows the user to easily unfasten the container 106 from the vertical member 105 for the purpose of filling it with a volume of fuel oil. Once filled, the container 106 is securely refastened to the vertical member 105, ensuring a stable and sealed connection, ready for use in the lamp's operation.

[0027] A circular block 117 is installed below the central portion of the vertical member 105 to control the flow of oil. The block acts as a barrier, preventing the oil from flowing directly into the vertical member 105. Instead, the oil is redirected towards the surrounding plate. By blocking the central flow, the circular block 117 ensures that the oil disperses evenly across the plate, allowing the wick to absorb the oil effectively and supporting consistent burning. The design helps manage the oil distribution, ensuring the wick remains properly fueled and the flame remains steady.

[0028] A hemispherical plate 108 is coupled with the horizontal member 104, providing a stable base. At the center of the plate, a curved cylindrical stand 109 is mounted which is designed to accommodate a cotton wick, allowing the user to place and secure the wick in position. The arrangement ensures that the cotton wick is held firmly in place and effectively perform its intended function, such as drawing fuel from the spherical container 106 for use in the lamp.

[0029] The stand is configured with a motorized gear, which rotates and drags the end of the cotton wick towards the tip of the stand. The motorized mechanism ensures precise and controlled movement of the wick, allowing it to be positioned accurately at the desired location. The rotation of the gear enables the wick to be drawn into place efficiently. The motorized gear device consists of an electric motor and gears that work together to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion. When the motor is activated, it generates rotational force. The force is transferred to a gear, which then rotates. The rotating gear engages with other gears in the lamp, altering the speed and torque based on their sizes and arrangement. The mechanical motion produced is then used to drags the end of the cotton wick towards the tip of the stand.

[0030] The user provides input command regarding controlling of a burning lamp's duration on a microphone 110 installed with the platform 101. The microphone 110 captures the user's voice input. The software interprets the command to determine the desired time duration for the lamp to stay on. Based on this input, the lamp adjusts the lamp's timer accordingly, ensuring the lamp remains illuminated for the specified period. The integration of microphone 110 allows for hands-free control, enhancing convenience and accessibility for managing lighting in various environments. The microphone 110 contains a small diaphragm connected to a moving coil. When sound waves of the user hit the diaphragm, the coil vibrates. This causes the coil to move back and forth in the magnet's field, generating an electrical current. The signal of which are sent to the microcontroller.

[0031] Upon processing the user’s input voice command, the microcontroller actuates a motorized iris-operated lid positioned at the tip of the vertical member 105 for adjusting the lid to open or close gradually in order to control the flow of fuel oil into the vertical member 105. The precise control ensures the correct amount of fuel oil is dispensed according to the user's voice command. The motorized iris-operated lid typically refers to the iris or aperture mechanism in the camera or optical instruments as it works in a similar manner to that of a human eye for dispensing correct amount of fuel oil. The iris consists several thin and overlapping blades that forms an adjustable opening of the lid. Upon actuation of the motorized iris-operated lid by the microcontroller the blades move apart resulting in the widening of mouth portion, allowing correct amount of fuel oil to be dispensed towards the wick.

[0032] The fuel oil dispensed through the motorized iris-operated lid flows through an opening in the plate. The oil collects on the plate, which is designed to hold and distribute the fuel. As the plate fills with oil, the wick is immersed in it. This ensures that the wick absorbs the fuel oil. Once the wick is adequately soaked, the user ignites the tip of the wick. The burning wick will then utilize the fuel oil absorbed from the plate, providing a sustained and controlled flame for the desired duration.

[0033] The microcontroller than actuates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 112 integrated into the platform 101 for capturing multiple images of the platform 101, focusing on the volume of fuel oil in the plate and the real-time flame intensity of the lamp. The AI module analyze the images to monitor and assess the fuel level and flame characteristics. The processor processes the data from the imaging unit 112, providing real-time feedback and adjustments as needed. The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 112 comprises of a camera lens and a processor, wherein the 360-degree rotatable camera captures multiple images of the platform 101 and then the processor carries out a sequence of steps including pre-processing, feature extraction and segmentation. In pre-processing, the unwanted data like noise, background is removed out and the image is converted into a format recommended for feature extraction. The features like pixel intensities of the foreground image are extracted and are sent for classification to determine the volume of the fuel oil in the plate along with real-time flame intensity of the lamp.

[0034] When the volume of fuel oil in the plate drops below a threshold value, the imaging unit 112 detects the change and communicates to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then instructs the motorized iris-operated lid to open and dispense additional oil to replenish the fuel oil in the plate, ensuring that the wick remains continuously immersed and sustain burning. By doing so, the lamp maintains the wick's ability to burn throughout the user-specified time duration.

[0035] A timer is linked to the microcontroller to monitor the burning duration of the wick. The microcontroller uses the timer to keep track of the elapsed time since the wick was ignited. It ensures that the wick burns for the user-specified duration by coordinating with the imaging unit 112 and the motorized iris-operated lid to manage the fuel oil supply. If the timer indicates that the user-specified time is nearing its end, the microcontroller takes actions, such as reducing the fuel flow or signaling the user, to ensure that the lamp operates according to the desired schedule. The timer includes a RTC (real time clock) comprises of a controller, oscillator and an embedded quartz crystal resonator. The function of RTC (real time clock) is to keep accurate track of time even when a power supply is turned off or the lamp is placed in low power mode. In case of the monitored time duration matches with a pre-defined time duration stored in a database linked with the microcontroller, the microcontroller reduces the fuel flow ensures that the wick burns for the user-specified duration.

[0036] If the imaging unit 112 detects that the wick has extinguished, the microcontroller responds by regulating the lamp components to address the issue. It first directs the motorized iris-operated lid to dispense additional fuel oil to ensure that the wick is re-ignited if necessary. Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates the gear arrangement to drag the wick upwards, ensuring it remains properly immersed in the fuel oil. The adjustment facilitates optimal burning by re-positioning the wick and replenishing the fuel supply, thereby enables a consistent and efficient flame once the wick is re-ignited.

[0037] When the imaging unit 112 detects soot deposition on the inner periphery of the plate, the microcontroller activates a telescopically operated U-shaped rod 113 attached to the plate to for extending the rod to position a scraper 114 attached to its ends against the deposited soot. The scraping action removes the soot from the plate’s surface, maintaining its cleanliness and ensuring efficient operation. The telescopically operated U-shaped rod 113 is linked to a pneumatic unit, including an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the scraper 114. The pneumatic unit is operated by the microcontroller, such that the microcontroller actuates valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the scraper 114 and due to applied pressure, the scraper 114 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the telescopically operated U-shaped rod 113 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the piston in order position the scraper 114 onto the deposited soot.

[0038] Upon positioning the scraper 114 onto the deposited soot, the microcontroller actuates a DC motor linked to the telescopically operated U-shaped rod 113 for providing the necessary power to rotate the rod. The rotation enables the scraper 114 attached to the rod to perform a reciprocating rotational motion. As the scraper 114 moves back and forth across the inner periphery of the plate, it effectively removes the deposited soot. The scraped soot is then directed into a chamber installed on the platform 101, designed to collect and contain the soot for easy disposal. The automated process ensures continuous maintenance of the plate, preventing soot buildup. DC motor works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The stator generates a magnetic field which usually consists of a permanent magnet or as set of coils through which direct current flows. The rotor is the moving part of the motor. The armature is connected to
a commutator which is a rotary switch that reverses the direction of the current in the coil every half-turn. As the armature rotates, the brushes ensure a continuous flow of current by reversing its direction at the right moments. When the DC is applied to the armature, a magnetic field is created around the coil due to the current flowing through the coil. As the DC electric motor rotates, the rotational force rotates the arrangement, which in turn rotates the frame along with the shaft in an anticlockwise and clockwise rotation for enabling the scraper 114 to remove the accumulated soot.

[0039] A plurality of flaps 115 is arranged around the boundary of the plate, each connected via a motorized hinge joint 116 to move in a converging or diverging manner to form a protective boundary around the plate. The movement of the flaps 115 is controlled based on input from a wind sensor embedded on the platform 101. When the sensor detects adverse wind conditions, the microcontroller directs the flaps 115 to converge, shielding the flame from the wind while still allowing adequate oxygen supply through perforations carved into the flaps 115 to ensure that the flame remains stable and protected without compromising the necessary airflow for combustion.

[0040] The motorized hinge joint 116 comprises of a pair of leaf that is screwed with the surfaces of the plate. The leaf is connected with each other by means of a cylindrical member integrated with a shaft coupled with a DC (Direct Current) motor to provide required movement to the hinge. The rotation of the shaft in clockwise and anti-clockwise aids in opening and closing of the hinge respectively. Hence the microcontroller actuates the hinge that in turn provides movement to the flap for forming a protective boundary around the plate.

[0041] The wind sensor, also known as an anemometer, measures wind speed and direction. It typically consists of rotating cups or blades that spin in response to wind. The rotational speed is proportional to wind velocity, which is then converted into electrical signal to determine the wind conditions, based on which the microcontroller directs the flaps 115 to converge in order to protect the flame.

[0042] A level sensor is embedded in the container 106 to monitor the fuel oil level. The sensor continuously measures the amount of fuel oil present and provides real-time data to the microcontroller. If the oil level drops below a certain threshold, the lamp trigger alerts or take necessary actions, such as refilling the container 106 or adjusting the oil flow to maintain proper operation. By ensuring that the fuel oil level is consistently monitored, the level sensor helps prevent interruptions in the fuel supply, supporting the lamp’s overall efficiency and reliability. The level senor used herein is a pressure-based level sensor which works on the principle that the pressure exerted by a liquid at a specific depth is directly proportional to the height of the liquid column in the sensor. The pressure-based level sensor comprises of a piezoelectric sensing element. When the sensing element is exposed to the liquid within the sensor, some hydrostatic pressure is exerted on the element by the liquid and which varies in accordance to the height of the liquid. A pressure transducer converts the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the liquid into an electrical pulse. Further the microcontroller analyses the electrical signal and based on which determine the level of the oil inside the container 106.

[0043] If the level sensor detects that the fuel oil level in the container 106 has receded below a specified threshold, the microcontroller responds by activating a speaker 118 installed on the platform 101 to produces audio signals to alert the user that the container 106 needs to be refilled. The notification unit ensures that the user is promptly informed of low fuel levels, allowing for timely refilling to prevent any interruption in the operation of the lamp. The audio signals provide a clear and immediate way to ensure that the fuel supply is maintained, supporting continuous and efficient performance. The speaker 118 works by receiving signals from the microcontroller, converting them into sound waves through a diaphragm’s vibration, and producing audible sounds with the help of amplification and control circuitry in order to notify the user to refill the container 106.

[0044] The speaker 118 not only provides notifications for low fuel levels but also generates audible alerts for worship times and maintenance schedules. The alerts are synchronized with the lamp's operations through the microcontroller. The microcontroller manages the timing of these alerts based on preset schedules or user inputs, ensuring that the speaker 118 produces reminders at appropriate times. For worship times, the lamp signals the user when it's time to ignite or adjust the lamp. Similarly, for maintenance schedules, the speaker 118 alerts the user when it's time to perform tasks like cleaning or refilling. The integrated approach helps ensure that the lamp is used and maintained efficiently, aligning with the user's routine and needs.

[0045] Lastly, a battery is installed within the lamp which is connected to the microcontroller that supplies current to all the electrically powered components that needs an amount of electric power to perform their functions and operation in an efficient manner. The battery utilized here, is generally a dry battery which is made up of Lithium-ion material that gives the lamp a long-lasting as well as an efficient DC (Direct Current) current which helps every component to function properly in an efficient manner. As the lamp is battery operated and do not need any electrical voltage for functioning. Hence the presence of battery leads to the portability of the lamp i.e., user is able to place as well as moves the lamp from one place to another as per the requirements.

[0046] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the platform 101 with suction cups 102 as disclosed is fixed onto the surface for ensuring stability. The T-shaped hollow body 103 is mounted on the platform 101, with the vertical member 105 supporting the spherical container 106 filled with fuel oil, which be removed for refilling. The top of the vertical member 105, the motorized iris-operated lid regulates the fuel flow. The hemispherical plate 108, coupled with the horizontal member 104 of the T-shaped body 103, features the curved cylindrical stand 109 that holds the cotton wick. The motorized gear in the stand drags the wick’s end towards its tip. The lamp includes the microphone 110 that receives voice commands from the user to set the burning time. The imaging unit 112 captures images to monitor fuel oil volume and flame intensity. When the oil level drops below the threshold, the microcontroller directs the lid to dispense more oil. If the wick extinguishes, the timer linked to the microcontroller activates to ensure the wick is re-ignited by adjusting the oil supply and wick position. Additionally, the imaging unit 112 detects soot accumulation, prompting a telescopic rod with the scraper 114 to clean the plate. The motorized flaps 115 form the protective boundary around the flame, responding to wind conditions detected by the wind sensor while ensuring proper oxygen supply. The circular block 117 below the vertical member 105 prevents oil from flowing directly into it, directing it to the plate instead. The level sensor in the container 106 alerts the user with audio signals when the fuel level is low and the speaker 118 provides alerts for worship times and maintenance schedules.
