[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, a simulated flame heater is provided, comprising a housing, a temperature sensor 110, a main control unit 120, a lighting system 130, a reflective sheet system 140, a sound system 150, and a heating system 160 disposed within the housing. The temperature sensor 110, the lighting system 130, the reflective sheet system 140, the sound system 150, and the heating system 160 are all electrically connected to the main control unit 120.

[0050] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 110 is used to detect the real-time room temperature and transmit the temperature data to the main control unit 120. In one embodiment, the temperature sensor 110 can also be replaced with a temperature detection circuit, a temperature detection unit, or other devices capable of collecting ambient temperature. The specific type of the temperature sensor 110 can be configured according to the needs of the actual application scenario. In this embodiment, the detection range of the temperature sensor 110 covers a preset area of ​​the room where the simulated flame heater is located. For example, the detection range of the temperature sensor 110 can be configured to be within 5 meters around the heater, with a detection accuracy of ±0.5 degrees Celsius (°C) to ensure the accuracy of room temperature detection. In actual application, the simulated flame heater is placed anywhere in the room. After the simulated flame heater is powered on, the temperature sensor 110 begins to detect and record the ambient temperature around the simulated flame heater in real time, and transmits the temperature data corresponding to the ambient temperature to the main control unit 120.

[0051] In this embodiment, the main control unit 120 can utilize an integrated control circuit board (ICC) and, by configuring corresponding control chips and integrated circuits on the IC, analyze the indoor ambient temperature based on temperature data and further generate control instructions for different systems based on the temperature data. For example, an STM32 series microcontroller with a built-in control algorithm can be used to generate control instructions within 100 milliseconds (ms) after receiving temperature data. In this embodiment, the main control unit 120 is configured to generate target control instructions based on the temperature data and output these target control instructions to the lighting system 130, reflector system 140, sound system 150, and heating system 160. These target control instructions include target brightness, target rotation speed, target volume, and target heat output. It should be noted that the specific structure of the main control unit 120 and the type of control chip used can be adaptively configured based on the needs of the actual application scenario. In actual applications, the main control unit 120 can send target control instructions to the lighting system 130, reflector system 140, sound system 150, and heating system 160 to control each system. Alternatively, the main control unit 120 can send different control instructions to each system to control each system. It should be noted that the control instructions sent to the lighting system 130 should at least include control parameters such as target brightness, the control instructions sent to the reflector system 140 should at least include control parameters such as target rotation speed, the control instructions sent to the sound system 150 should at least include control parameters such as target volume, and the control instructions sent to the heating system 160 should at least include control parameters such as target heat.

[0052] In this embodiment, the lighting system 130 is used to adjust brightness based on target control commands, thereby emitting light at the target brightness. The lighting system 130 includes a light board 131, which can emit light of a corresponding brightness and color according to control commands sent by the main control unit 120. In this embodiment, the control commands sent to the lighting system 130 include control parameters such as the target brightness and target color temperature. It should be noted that different color temperatures can produce different colors of light. For example, a color temperature below 3300 Kelvin (K) can create a calm and warm atmosphere. A color temperature between 3000 and 5000 K can create a refreshing and pleasant atmosphere. A color temperature exceeding 5000 K can create a cold and cool atmosphere. The relationship between color temperature and color can be referenced to actual lighting effects and is not limited here. The specific adjustable range of the target brightness can be 10%-100%. In this embodiment, the light board 131 can be an LED light board that supports 256 levels of dimming.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the reflector system 140 includes a drive motor 142 and a reflector 141. The drive motor 142 is used to adjust the rotation speed of the reflector 141 according to the target control instruction, so that the reflector 141 rotates at the target rotation speed. In this embodiment, the reflector 141 is set on the rotation shaft of the drive motor 142. As the drive motor 142 runs, the rotation shaft is driven to rotate, thereby driving the reflector 141 to be installed. It should be known that the control instruction sent to the reflector system 140 includes control parameters such as the target rotation speed and the target driving power. The target driving power is used to control the drive motor 142. In actual application, this embodiment mainly reflects the light emitted by the lighting system 130 through the reflector 141, and projects the light rotation reflection to the backlight panel, thereby forming a jumping effect simulating a flame. In this embodiment, the number of reflectors 141 can be multiple, and the setting position of the reflector 141 corresponds to the setting position of the light panel 131 of the lighting system 130. As shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the light from the lighting system 130 illuminates the area where the reflector 141 is located. It should be noted that the number of LEDs within the light panel 131 can also be configured based on the needs of the actual application scenario. It should be noted that the placement of the reflector system 140 and the lighting system 130 within the heater depends on the actual type of simulated flame heater in the actual application scenario and can be configured adaptively.

[0054] In this embodiment, the sound system 150 includes a speaker, such as Figure 2Speaker 151 in the sound effect system 150. It should be noted that the number of speakers in the sound effect system 150 can be configured according to actual application needs. The simulated flame heater can play a simulated flame burning sound effect through speaker 151. In this embodiment, the simulated flame burning sound effect can be a simulated firewood burning sound effect, a simulated charcoal burning sound effect, or another type of flame burning sound effect. The specific type of simulated flame burning sound effect can be adaptively configured according to actual application needs. The sound effect system 150 is configured to adjust the volume of the simulated flame burning sound effect according to a target control instruction to play the simulated flame burning sound effect at a target volume. In this embodiment, the control instruction sent to the sound effect system 150 includes control parameters such as the target volume, the target sound effect type, and the play time. The target sound effect type indicates the specific type of simulated flame burning sound effect. The play time can be adaptively adjusted according to the operating time of the heating system 160 or can be set on a timer. For example, the sound effect system 150 can use an 8Ω / 3W speaker and pre-store three flame burning sound effects with a volume adjustment range of 0-80dB.

[0055] In this embodiment, the heating system 160 is configured to adjust the heat output according to target control instructions to output warm air according to a target heat level. The heating system 160 includes a heating component and a blowing component. The heating component is configured to heat air according to control instructions sent by the main control unit 120, and the blowing component is configured to blow the heated air out in a preset direction at a preset wind speed. The wind speed can be adjusted based on the gear position and is divided into multiple levels of wind speed, such as high, medium, and low. The preset direction can be fixed or dynamic. In this embodiment, the control instructions sent to the heating system 160 include control parameters such as the target heat level, target heating power, target wind speed, and target blowing direction. The target blowing direction can be fixed or a vertical / left / right oscillating blowing direction. In one embodiment, the heating component can be a PTC heating component, and the blowing component includes a blower and a fan. Both the PTC heating component and the blower are connected to the main control unit 120. For example, the power range of the PTC heating component is 500W-2000W, and the fan speed can be adjusted in three levels (1.5m / s-3m / s) to ensure even heat distribution.

[0056] The main control unit 120 adjusts the power of the PTC heating component and the speed of the fan according to the control instruction to output warm air according to the target heat.

[0057] Based on the above structure, the simulated flame heater provided in this embodiment, after detecting the real-time ambient temperature in the room via the temperature sensor 110, comprehensively adjusts the various control systems of the heater, including the lighting effects, sound effects, and warm air output, to make the simulated flame heater simulate a real flame scene more realistic. Specifically, the flame light effect is simulated by the lighting system 130 and the reflector system 140, the flame intensity is simulated by the illumination intensity of the lighting system 130, the flame pulsation effect is simulated by the rotation speed of the reflector 141 of the reflector system 140, the sound effect of the burning flame is simulated by the sound effect system 150, and the warm air system 160, in combination with the lighting system 130, the reflector system 140, and the sound effect system 150, simulates a warming fire scene, providing a heating effect that matches the lighting and sound effects. This makes the simulated flame heater more interactive and provides a better user experience.

[0058] In one embodiment, the lighting system 130 includes an LED light panel connected to the main control unit 120. In this embodiment, the LED light panel provides lighting, which, in conjunction with the reflector 141 and backlight panel, creates a flame effect. This eliminates the need for an electronic screen, significantly reducing the cost of a simulated flame heater.

[0059] During actual application, the main control unit 120 controls the brightness of the LED light panel to decrease as the real-time temperature of the room detected by the temperature sensor 110 increases, controls the rotation speed of the reflector 141 to decrease as the real-time temperature of the room detected by the temperature sensor 110 increases, and controls the volume of the speaker 151 to decrease as the real-time temperature of the room detected by the temperature sensor 110 increases.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the indoor temperature is low, the simulated flame heater can output warm air at a higher power to raise the indoor temperature. In this case, the simulated flame heater needs to simulate a larger flame scenario, and the corresponding target control instructions sent by the main control unit 120 will have a higher target heat, a higher target brightness, a higher target rotation speed, and a higher target volume. In some embodiments, the corresponding light panel 131 will have a color temperature closer to deep red, the corresponding fan speed will be faster, and the corresponding sound effects will be selected to be more in line with a larger flame. It should be noted that the control parameters of various systems of the simulated flame heater will adapt to simulate a large flame scenario.

[0061] When the indoor temperature is high, the simulated flame heater needs to output warm air at a lower power to lower the indoor temperature. In this case, the simulated flame heater needs to simulate a smaller flame scenario, or even a flameless scenario. When simulating a smaller flame scenario, the corresponding target control command sent by the main control unit 120 has a lower target heat, lower target brightness, lower target rotation speed, and lower target volume. It should be noted that the control parameters of various systems of the simulated flame heater will adapt to the scenario of simulating a small flame. When simulating a flameless scenario, all systems stop working, and no sound effects, voice effects, or warm air are provided.

[0062] When the indoor temperature meets the target room temperature, the simulated flame heater simulates a medium flame, and the control parameters corresponding to all systems are between a maximum value and a minimum value. In some embodiments, the control parameters corresponding to a large flame scene have a first preset threshold value, which is less than the maximum value, and the control parameters corresponding to a small flame scene have a second preset threshold value, which is greater than the minimum value. When simulating a medium flame, the control parameters corresponding to all systems are between the first preset threshold value and the second preset threshold value.

[0063] In one embodiment, an operating panel 170 is provided on the housing and connected to the main control unit 120. The operating panel 170 is provided with an intelligent temperature control button, a flame on button, and a heater on button. The intelligent temperature control button is used to trigger the main control unit 120 to enter automatic adjustment mode. The flame on button is used to activate the lighting system 130 and the reflector system 140 to simulate a flame light effect. The heater on button is used to activate the heater system 160 to output warm air and adjust the indoor temperature. The user can independently activate the lighting system 130 and the reflector system 140 to simulate the flame light effect, or independently activate the heater system 160 to adjust the indoor temperature. The actual operation of the simulated flame heater can be determined according to the needs of the actual application scenario. In this embodiment, the operating panel 170 can be a touch screen or a touch-sensitive area equipped with multiple physical buttons. The specific type and material of the operating panel 170 are not limited here and can be configured according to the needs of the actual application.

[0064] In automatic adjustment mode, if the real-time room temperature detected by the temperature sensor 110 is lower than the lower limit of the target temperature range, the main control unit 120 controls the lighting system 130 to emit light at maximum brightness, controls the reflector system 140 to drive the reflector 141 to rotate at the maximum rotation speed, controls the sound system 150 to play at the maximum volume, and controls the heating system 160 to output warm air at maximum heat.

[0065] If the real-time temperature is within the target temperature range, the main control unit 120 controls the lighting system 130 to emit light at an intermediate brightness, controls the reflector system 140 to drive the reflector 141 to rotate at an intermediate rotation speed, controls the sound system 150 to play at an intermediate volume, and controls the heating system 160 to output warm air at an intermediate heat level.

[0066] If the real-time temperature is greater than the upper limit of the target temperature range, the main control unit 120 controls the lighting system 130 to emit light at the minimum brightness, controls the reflector system 140 to drive the reflector 141 to rotate at the minimum rotation speed, controls the sound system 150 to play at the minimum volume, and controls the heating system 160 to output warm air at the minimum heat.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the intelligent temperature control button is pressed, the automatic adjustment mode is started. The main control unit 120 will adaptively control each system to operate according to the preset control parameters based on the preset target temperature range and the temperature data detected in real time by the temperature sensor 110 to simulate the corresponding flame combustion scene.

[0068] The specific adaptive adjustment steps are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the process includes S301, which determines whether the real-time temperature is within the target temperature range. If the real-time temperature is within the target temperature range, the main control unit 120 executes S302, which controls the lighting system 130 to emit light at an intermediate brightness, controls the reflector system 140 to drive the reflector 141 to rotate at an intermediate rotation speed, controls the sound effect system 150 to play music at an intermediate volume, and controls the heating system 160 to output warm air at an intermediate heat level. If the real-time temperature is not within the target temperature range, the process executes S303, which determines whether the real-time temperature is less than the lower limit of the target temperature range. If the real-time temperature is less than the lower limit of the target temperature range, the process executes S304, which controls the lighting system 130 to emit light at maximum brightness, controls the reflector system 140 to drive the reflector 141 to rotate at a maximum rotation speed, controls the sound effect system 150 to play music at a maximum volume, and controls the heating system 160 to output warm air at a maximum heat level. When it is determined that the real-time temperature is not less than the lower limit of the target temperature range and is not within the target temperature range, it can be determined that the real-time temperature is greater than the upper limit of the target temperature range, and S305 is executed to control the lighting system 130 to emit light at the minimum brightness, control the reflector system 140 to drive the reflector 141 to rotate at the minimum rotation speed, control the sound system 150 to play at the minimum volume, and control the heating system 160 to output warm air at the minimum heat.

[0069] In this embodiment, the minimum control parameters and maximum control parameters of each system can select the extreme values ​​of the control parameters or preset thresholds, and the control of the intermediate control parameters of each system can refer to the adjustment method in the aforementioned embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0070] In one embodiment, the operation panel 170 further includes a gear adjustment button, which is used to trigger the main control unit 120 to enter a manual adjustment mode.

[0071] In the manual adjustment mode, if the main control unit 120 is in the first gear adjustment mode, the main control unit 120 controls the lighting system 130 to emit light at maximum brightness, controls the reflector system 140 to drive the reflector 141 to rotate at the maximum rotation speed, controls the sound system 150 to play at the maximum volume, and controls the heating system 160 to output warm air at the maximum heat.

[0072] If the main control unit 120 is in the second gear adjustment mode, the main control unit 120 controls the lighting system 130 to emit light at an intermediate brightness, controls the reflector system 140 to drive the reflector 141 to rotate at an intermediate rotation speed, controls the sound system 150 to play at an intermediate volume, and controls the heating system 160 to output warm air at an intermediate heat level.

[0073] If the main control unit 120 is in the third gear adjustment mode, the main control unit 120 controls the lighting system 130 to emit light at the minimum brightness, controls the reflector system 140 to drive the reflector 141 to rotate at the minimum rotation speed, controls the sound system 150 to play at the minimum volume, and controls the heating system 160 to output warm air at the minimum heat.

[0074] In this embodiment, in manual adjustment mode, the control parameters of each system can be divided into levels according to the number of gears to obtain multi-stage control parameters. It should be noted that the number of gears and the level division method can be configured according to the needs of the actual application scenario.

[0075] In this embodiment, in manual adjustment mode, the control parameters of each system are fixed parameters and do not adaptively change with the temperature data detected by the temperature sensor 110. This embodiment configures manual adjustment mode and automatic adjustment mode to enable the simulated flame heater to more flexibly meet user needs.

[0076] In summary, this embodiment provides a simulated flame heater that automatically adjusts light brightness, reflector rotation speed, and the volume of simulated flame burning sound effects according to room temperature, dynamically adjusting flame size and intensity. The combined effects of light, shadow, and sound create a more comprehensive flame atmosphere experience, enhancing user comfort and satisfaction. This provides a more realistic heating experience, greater interactivity, and an enhanced user experience.

[0077] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a control method for a simulated flame heater is provided. Figure 1 The simulation flame heater in the example is used as an example to illustrate the method, which includes the following steps:

[0081] In one embodiment, in the automatic adjustment mode, the control method of the simulated flame heater further includes:
