Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a see-through flame-like device, mainly referring to a device that is see-through and has bidirectional flame-like patterns. Background Art

[0002] To enhance the warm visual sense indoors, currently there are devices that can electronically generate flame-like patterns and can produce a flame-like glow with light to create a visual sense similar to a burning flame. For example, the flame-like electric fireplace of US Patent No. US9739433 has a housing. The front of the housing can be used for viewing, and the rear is closed. Also, a light emitter, a rotatable flashing element, a flame-like plate, and a projection plate are provided inside the housing. The flame-like plate has through holes, so that the light emitted by the light emitter can be reflected by the flashing element to the through holes of the flame-like plate and then to the projection plate, and a flame-like graphic appearance can be produced on the projection plate.

[0003] However, the aforementioned flame-like electric fireplace can only view the flame-like pattern from the front and cannot view it from the rear, having the defect of limited viewing angle.

[0004] The electric fireplace of Chinese Patent No. CN210801000 has projection plates on both the front and rear sides of the electric fireplace, and also a flame-like plate and a light emitter are provided. The light emitted by the light emitter is projected through the through holes of the flame-like plate onto the two projection plates, so that the flame-like graphic appearance can be viewed from both the front and rear of the electric fireplace. Therefore, the electric fireplace can be suitably installed in the center of the wall, and the flame-like pattern can be viewed from both opposite sides of the wall to enhance the viewing effect.

[0005] However, the aforementioned electric fireplace cannot be seen through from the front to the rear, having the defect of being unable to view the scenery behind the electric fireplace.

[0006] To improve the above defect, the electric fireplace of CN101608803 has projection plates on both the front and rear sides of the housing to present a flame-like pattern. Also, a perspective window is extended and provided above the housing, and when the electric fireplace is installed on the wall, the flame-like pattern can be viewed from both the front and rear, and the scenery in front of or behind the wall can be viewed through the upper perspective window.

[0007] However, the volume of the aforementioned electric fireplace must be increased to match the perspective window, and the wall must be correspondingly provided with a larger through hole to install the larger-volume electric fireplace, having the defects of inconvenient installation and high cost. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a flame-like device that can view the flame-like pattern bidirectionally and is see-through.

[0010] Further, the projection area of the projection plate is in a gradient shape, and its transparency increases from bottom to top.

[0011] Further, the main body of the projection plate is made of a transparent material, and a colored film is provided on the projection plate below by spraying or laminating or coating.

[0012] Further, the thickness of the film below the projection area is greater than the thickness of the film above the projection area, forming a gradient shape.

[0013] Further, the projection plate is composed of a plurality of plate bodies stacked in the height direction, the lower part is a semi-transparent plate body corresponding to the projection area, and the upper part is a transparent plate body corresponding to the perspective area.

[0014] Further, the plate bodies corresponding to the projection area are multiple and stacked up and down in the height direction, and each has a different transparency, and the transparency of the projection area increases from bottom to top.

[0015] Further, the projection plate is composed of a plurality of plate bodies compounded, and at least one semi-transparent plate body is compounded below the transparent plate body in the thickness direction, and the projection area is formed below and the perspective area is formed above.

[0016] Further, it further includes a reflector, the reflector is disposed in the chamber of the housing, and part of the light emitted by the light emitter is projected from the through holes of the flame-like plate to one side of the projection plate, and part of the light is reflected by the through holes and the reflector to the other side of the projection plate.

[0017] Further, the lamp holder is provided with a plurality of light collectors, the light collectors have openings, and the light emitters are disposed in the light collectors of the lamp holder and emit light in the direction of the openings of the light collectors.

[0018] Further, the flashing device is disposed in the chamber, including a motor, a shaft rod, and a plurality of reflecting sheets, the motor is electrically connected to the control device, and the shaft rod is pivotally disposed in the chamber and driven to rotate by the motor; and the reflecting sheets are disposed on the shaft rod and reflect the light emitted by the light emitter.

[0019] The present invention can be installed on a wall. With transparent areas on the front and rear sides, it can display a simulated flame pattern bidirectionally, and the scenery behind the wall can be observed through the perspective area above the projection area from the front of the wall, providing the convenience of viewing like a window.

[0020] At the same time, having only transparent areas on the front and rear sides does not have the drawbacks of inconvenient installation and high cost.

[0021] The control device of the present invention can make the light-emitting body of the light-emitting device emit light and the motor of the flashing device operate. The light emitted by the light-emitting body can be reflected by the reflector and then projected towards the projection area below the projection plate through the through holes of the simulated flame plate, generating the appearance of a flame pattern. Also, due to the gradient design of the transparency of the projection area increasing from bottom to top, the projection brightness below the projection area is greater than that above, producing a realistic visual effect of a larger simulated burning flame below. And since the projection area is semi-transparent, the flame pattern can be observed from either the front or the rear of the projection plate, providing the effect of being able to observe the appearance of the flame pattern from different directions in front of and behind the wall.

The projection area 61 is mainly translucent, and can be in a gradient shape, and its transparency increases from bottom to top; and the perspective area 62 can be generally transparent.

[0038] The main body of the projection board 6 can be transparent glass, transparent plastic or other transparent board, and a colored film is disposed on the bottom of the projection board 6 by spraying, laminating, coating or other methods, and the thickness of the film below the projection area 61 can be greater than the thickness of the film above the projection area 61 to form a gradient shape.
