[0024] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the present application provides a flame generating assembly 1, which includes a simulated fake firewood 12, fake firewood bottom ash 14, a reflective device, a driving mechanism, a light source, and a bottom plate 15. Among them, the fake firewood bottom ash 14 is arranged on the bottom plate 15, and the fake firewood bottom ash 14 and the bottom plate 15 can be separate components or integral components. Preferably, a fake firewood rack 13 can be provided on the fake firewood bottom ash 14, and the simulated fake firewood 12 is arranged on the fake firewood rack 13. The reflective device can be arranged below the simulated fake firewood 12. The fake firewood bottom ash 14 can be a plastic suction component with an accommodation cavity inside, and the reflective device can also be arranged in the accommodation cavity. The reflective device can include reflective blades, and the reflective blades rotate through the drive of the driving mechanism. The reflected light is formed by the light source irradiating on the reflective blades, and the reflected light and the simulated fake firewood are combined to form the effect of simulated flame combustion. Through the above modular setting, the present application makes the structural design of the flame generating assembly reasonable and compact. While achieving a realistic flame simulation effect, it minimizes the size of the flame generating assembly, enables modular assembly in the factory, and reduces the installation cost and packaging and transportation cost.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the reflective device includes a first reflective strip shaft 17 and a second reflective strip shaft 18. Preferably, the two can be arranged at different heights, that is, at different heights respectively, and reflective components, such as in the form of reflective blades, can be respectively provided on the first reflective strip shaft 17 and the second reflective strip shaft 18. Specifically, the first reflective strip shaft 17 and the second reflective strip shaft 18 can be rotatably arranged below the fake firewood bottom ash 14 around a horizontal axis. By driving the reflective blades to rotate, a flame effect with undulations can be formed when the light is projected. Those skilled in the art know that the number of reflective strip shafts in the present application can also be more than two, without being limited by the embodiments in the drawings.

[0026] The light sources of the present application may include a flame lamp 25 and an ash lamp 26. The flame lamp 25 and the ash lamp 26 may be LED lamps and are respectively arranged on the bottom plate 15. Specifically, the flame lamp 25 may be placed at the rear of the bottom plate 15, and the ash lamp 26 may be placed at the front of the bottom plate 15. Further, the flame lamp 25 may be located behind or below the first light-reflecting strip shaft 17, so that the light of the flame lamp 25 can be refracted after irradiating the light-reflecting blades of the first light-reflecting strip shaft 17; the ash lamp 26 may be located behind or below the second light-reflecting strip shaft 18, so that the light of the ash lamp 26 can be refracted after irradiating the light-reflecting blades of the second light-reflecting strip shaft 18, and vice versa. The flame generating assembly provided by the present application forms an integrated structure through modular assembly, and realizes the simulation light projection of the flame and the ash respectively by designing two light-reflecting strip shafts with different heights, forming a dynamic simulation flame and ash. The structural design is reasonable and compact, which is convenient for assembly and application.

[0027] Preferably, in combination with the above solution, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, a plurality of light-reflecting blades are spirally distributed on the light-reflecting strip shaft. Such a design enables the light of the flame lamp 25 and the ash lamp 26 to irradiate on the light-reflecting blades of the light-reflecting strip shaft, and can rotate with the light-reflecting blades of the light-reflecting strip shaft during projection, forming a flame effect with undulating height and a dynamic ash effect.

Specifically, mounting brackets 22 are respectively provided on both sides of the false firewood ash 14, and both ends of the light-reflecting strip shaft are rotatably arranged on the mounting brackets 22 around a horizontal axis. Further, the driving mechanism is also arranged on the mounting brackets 22 and is in transmission connection with the light-reflecting strip shaft to simultaneously drive the first light-reflecting strip shaft 17 and the second light-reflecting strip shaft 18 to rotate around the horizontal axis. In this embodiment, by designing a driving mechanism to simultaneously drive the first light-reflecting strip shaft 17 and the second light-reflecting strip shaft 18 to rotate, a better dynamic flame effect can be achieved; the design of a single driving mechanism can reduce the material cost.

[0029] Preferably, in combination with the above solution, as Figures 3 to 5As shown in the figure, the drive mechanism includes a motor 19, a driven wheel 20, a driving wheel 21 and a transmission belt 24. Among them, only one motor 19 needs to be provided. The motor 19 can be arranged outside the mounting bracket 22 to avoid interfering with the rotation of the reflective strip shaft. The output end of the motor 19 is connected to the first reflective strip shaft 17 to drive the first reflective strip shaft 17 to rotate. Further, the output end of the motor 19 is connected to the driving wheel 21, the driving wheel 21 is connected to the first reflective strip shaft 17 and can rotate together with the first reflective strip shaft 17; the driven wheel 20 is connected to the second reflective strip shaft 18 and can rotate together with the second reflective strip shaft 18. A transmission belt 24 is provided between the driven wheel 20 and the driving wheel 21, and the driving wheel 21 drives the driven wheel 20 to rotate by rotation.

Such a design enables the light of the flame lamp 25 to irradiate the reflective blades of the first reflective strip shaft 17 and then refract through the flame plate 27 to project onto the rear plate or screen of the simulated fireplace, forming a simulated dynamic flame.

[0031] Preferably, in combination with the above solution, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, the flame generating assembly 1 further includes a front plate 16. The front plate 16 is arranged on the front side of the fake firewood bottom ash 14 and is connected to the bottom plate 15, thereby wrapping the entire fake firewood bottom ash 14 to form an integral structure. Further, the second reflective strip shaft 18 can be rotatably arranged on the mounting bracket 22 through an E-type circlip 23; the bottom ash lamp 26 can be arranged below the second reflective strip shaft 18, so that the light emitted by the bottom ash lamp 26 irradiates the reflective blades of the second reflective strip shaft 18 and then refracts onto the fake firewood rack 13 and the fake firewood bottom ash 14, forming a bright dynamic flame.
