[0031] Example 1

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The utility model provides an embedded electric fireplace, comprising a frame 1, a back plate 8, a protective mesh cover 4 and a transparent plate 6 located on the surface of the electric fireplace, and a heating plate 3 and a screen 7 located in the electric fireplace.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 For example, in this embodiment, the frame 1 is a square frame, the top and bottom surfaces of the frame 1 are horizontal, and the left and right sides of the frame 1 are vertical; when installing the electric fireplace, the four sides of the frame 1 fit into the corresponding inner walls of the installation groove.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 The frame 1 is composed of a side frame 11 and a front panel frame 12; the side frame 11 is surrounded by a profile to form a "mouth" shape, and the side frame 11 is fitted with the inner wall of the installation groove when the electric fireplace is installed; the front panel frame 12 is located on the inner side of the side frame 11, and the front panel frame 12 is located on the front side of the electric fireplace facing the outside of the installation groove.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The front panel frame 12 is concave inwardly of the mounting groove relative to the side frame 11. A straight triangular prism-shaped thickened body 13 is designed at the connection between the front panel frame 12 and the side frame 11. The front panel frame 12, the side frame 11, and the thickened body 13 are integrally formed from the same plate material. The thickened body 13 serves to enhance the rigidity of the frame 1, so that the frame 1 is not easily deformed. A mounting plate 112 is vertically provided on one side of the side frame 11 facing the electric fireplace. The mounting plate 112 is used to fix the back plate 8. The back plate 8 is located on the side of the electric fireplace facing the mounting groove. The side of the back plate 8 is tightly attached to the mounting plate 112. The back plate 8 and the mounting plate 112 are fixedly connected by adhesive or other connecting parts. The back plate 8 is fixed with a mounting hanger 9 and a support seat 10 by screws. The support seat 10 is made of a soft material such as rubber. The mounting hanger 9 is located at the upper part of the back plate 8. The mounting hanger 9 is used to hang the electric fireplace on the inner wall of the mounting groove. The support seat 10 is located at the lower part of the back plate 8. The support seat 10 is used to resist the inner wall of the mounting groove to prevent the electric fireplace from tilting forward after installation. Two plates protrude from one side of the side frame 11 facing the electric fireplace. The two plates form a slot 111. The slot 111 is used to clamp and fix the heat insulation layer (not shown in the figure). The heat insulation layer is installed between the heating plate 3 and the back plate 8.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 The front panel frame 12 is surrounded by a "mouth"-shaped window 121, and the window 121 is a functional area 2, which is divided into: an electronic flame effect display area 21 at the lower part of the window 121, and a heat radiation area 22 at the upper part of the window 121.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 A heating plate 3 and a protective mesh cover 4 are provided in the heat radiation area 22, wherein the protective mesh cover 4 is covered on the side of the heating plate 3 facing outside the mounting groove, and the protective mesh cover 4 is welded to the front panel frame 12 or fixedly connected by screws.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The protective mesh cover 4 is formed by a rectangular mesh plate 41 and four rectangular side plates 42, wherein the mesh plate 41 is parallel to the heating plate 3 and keeps a safe distance, and the four side plates 42 are respectively located at the four sides of the mesh plate 41, and the side plates 42 are perpendicular to the mesh plate 41; each side plate 42 is provided with a plurality of convection holes 421 at intervals along its length direction, and the convection holes 421 facilitate air flow and take away the heat in the protective mesh cover 4. The top of the protective mesh cover 4 is lower than the top of the frame 1, and there is enough distance between the top of the protective mesh cover 4 and the top of the frame 1 for the hot air to be discharged from the convection holes 421 at the top of the protective mesh cover 4.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The top center and both ends of the protective mesh cover 4 are provided with baffles 15. The side of the baffle 15 facing the inside of the protective mesh cover 4 is connected to a metal tube 14 by screws. In this embodiment, an aluminum alloy square tube is used as the metal tube 14; the metal tube 14 located at the top center of the protective mesh cover 4 is horizontal, and the metal tubes 14 located at both ends of the top of the protective mesh cover 4 are vertical. A temperature limiter 5 is fixed in each metal tube 14 (see Figure 4 ), since heat is gathered at the top of the protective mesh cover 4, the temperature limiter 5 is used to monitor the temperature at the top of the protective mesh cover 4 and feed back an electrical signal to the controller in the electric fireplace in real time. When the monitored temperature exceeds the set value, the controller reduces the heating power of the electric fireplace to prevent the surface temperature of the electric fireplace from being too high. The baffle 15 is used to make it easier for heat to gather near the temperature limiter 5, so that the temperature monitored by the temperature limiter 5 is slightly higher than the highest temperature of the rest of the electric fireplace, so that the electric fireplace can reduce power before reaching an excessively high temperature.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 5 The side of the protective mesh cover 4 facing the outside of the installation groove protrudes from the frame 1. When the electric fireplace is installed, the protective mesh cover 4 can be completely located in the installation groove, or partially protrude outside the installation groove.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 6 A transparent plate 6 and a screen 7 are arranged in the electronic flame effect display area 21. The transparent plate 6 can be a glass plate or an acrylic plate. The screen 7 is opposite to the transparent plate 6. The screen 7 is used to display static images or dynamic videos, such as a static charcoal image and a dynamic video of flames jumping on the charcoal.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 The left end, right end and bottom end of the transparent plate 6 are seamlessly fixed to the front panel frame 12 by gluing or other connecting parts, and the top end of the transparent plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the protective mesh cover 4 by gluing or other connecting parts.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 6 Although the heat radiated by the heating plate 3 is transferred upward with the hot air and has little effect on the screen 7, this embodiment also has a preventive design: a safety gap is provided between the top of the screen 7 and the bottom of the heating plate 3, and the safety gap is blocked by the connection between the bottom of the protective mesh cover 4 and the top of the transparent plate 6 and is not easily discovered by the user.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the embedded electric fireplace provided by the embodiment of the utility model has the following advantages: it avoids setting the convection holes 421 at the bottom and top of the frame 1, so the frame 1 can be perfectly fitted with the inner wall of the installation groove for installation; a protective mesh cover 4 covering the heating plate 3 is set on the front of the electric fireplace, and the convection holes 421 are set at the bottom and top of the protective mesh cover 4, indoor air enters the protective mesh cover 4 from the bottom, is heated by the heating plate 3, and then rises, and the rising hot air is discharged from the convection holes 421 at the top of the protective mesh cover 4, thereby forming convection and realizing circulating heating of the indoor air.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] Please refer to Figure 8 This embodiment provides an embedded electric fireplace based on the embodiment 1. The difference from the embodiment 1 is that a placement plate 16 is added to the top of the frame 1, and the setting position of the temperature limiter 5 is changed to be fixed on the lower surface of the placement plate 16.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 8 The placement board 16 is a rectangular board, and the placement board 16 is horizontally fixed on the top surface of the frame 1. When installing the electric fireplace, the upper surface of the placement board 16 on the top of the frame 1 fits with the top wall of the installation groove on the wall or furniture, and the left and right side walls and the bottom wall of the frame 1 fit with the corresponding inner wall in the installation groove. The two ends of the placement board 16 in the length direction are flush with the two ends of the top surface of the frame 1 in the length direction, one end of the placement board 16 in the width direction is flush with the rear end (towards the installation groove) of the top surface of the frame 1, and the other end of the placement board 16 in the width direction exceeds the width of the frame 1; the downward projection of the placement board 16 completely covers the top of the protective mesh cover 4, and the rising hot air flow discharged from the top of the protective mesh cover 4 is blocked by the placement board 16; the temperature limiter 5 is fixed at the position where the lower surface of the placement board 16 faces the center of the top of the protective mesh cover 4, where the hot air flow gathers, which is convenient for the temperature limiter 5 to accurately monitor the temperature.
