[0002] In winter, turning on the electric heater indoors will cause the indoor temperature to become dry. An overly dry environment will make many rhinitis patients feel uncomfortable, and will also cause the respiratory tract of ordinary users to become too dry and bleed. Traditional humidifiers are mostly single-function, monotonous in structure, and not decorative. Especially in today's increasingly fashionable world, whether at home or in the office, people pay more attention to the decorative effect of some functional home appliances. Therefore, a humidifier with a simulated flame has emerged.
[0003] The simulated flame structure is placed toward the front of the product. The air heated by the heating element is lighter, creating a low-pressure area. The mist used to simulate the flame will be drawn toward the heating element due to air convection, resulting in a poor flame effect. Furthermore, to prevent mist from being drawn into the air inlet, the fan speed is usually very high to blow the mist out, causing noise during use. Furthermore, the presence of the simulated flame structure makes the device appear thicker, making it look unsightly.

These are for ease of description only and should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.
[0035] It should be noted that the Chinese patent application number 202122600711.0 discloses a humidifier that simulates flames. The humidifying component generates water mist through an ultrasonic oscillation plate, and the water mist is blown into the mist guide component through a fan. The water mist is blown upward from the mist outlet of the mist guide pipe through the mist outlet grille. The water mist is evenly distributed through the mist guide slope of the mist outlet grille and the mist guide curved surface of the upper cover. When the LED light panel is turned on, the light illuminates the water mist to form a flame effect.
[0036] However, the setting of the mist guide slope causes the water mist to flow in a single direction, and the flame formed after the LED light is irradiated in a single direction, without the agility and vitality of a real flame.
[0037] like Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a flame generating structure with a variable simulated flame. After the water mist formed by the humidifying component 10 enters the mist outlet channel, the horizontal water mist is corrected to the longitudinal direction through the guidance of the mist outlet units 231 arranged in reverse on both sides and in the shape of an inverted sign, and water mist with at least four flow directions is formed. The water mist further collides and folds on the gourd-shaped mist outlet cover 21 to form a multi-directional flowing water mist, which flows out through the mist outlet and produces a variable, smart and layered simulated flame under the illumination of the light guide component 24, giving people a feeling of infinite agility and vitality.
[0038] Specifically, it includes a humidifying component 10 for generating mist and a mist outlet component 20 for discharging mist. One end of the mist outlet component 20 is connected to the humidifying component 10. The humidifying component 10 converts water into fine water mist, and the generated water mist flows into the mist outlet component 20. The mist outlet component 20 includes:
[0039] The mist outlet upper cover 21 and the mist outlet lower cover 22 enclose a mist outlet channel for guiding the flow of mist. A mist outlet port is provided at the top of the mist outlet upper cover 21, and the cross section of the mist outlet upper cover 21 is gourd-shaped, which helps the water mist collide and fold inside the mist outlet upper cover 21.
[0040] The mist outlet grille 23 is provided in the mist outlet channel and passes through the mist outlet channel. The mist outlet grille 23 includes a plurality of mist outlet units 231 in the shape of an inverted check mark. The mist outlet units 231 are arranged on both sides and the arrangement directions of the mist outlet units 231 on both sides are opposite;
[0041] The light guide assembly 24 is located on the mist outlet grille 23 and below the mist outlet.
[0042] Mist outlet units 231 are arranged on either side of the mist grille 23. The mist outlet units 231 on one side provide mist with at least two directional flows. The mist outlet units on both sides are arranged in opposite directions, providing mist with at least four directional flows. The mist passing through the mist grille 23 flows in at least four directions. The mist further collides and folds on the gourd-shaped mist outlet cover 21, forming complex and varied mist patterns. This mist then flows out through the mist outlet and, illuminated by the light guide assembly 24, takes on the form of flowing flames, creating a varied, dynamic, and layered simulated flame.
[0043] Working Principle: The mist generated by the humidification assembly 10 flows into the mist outlet channel of the mist outlet assembly 20. As the mist passes through the mist outlet grille 23, it is guided by the inverted check mark-shaped mist outlet unit 231, forming a multi-directional flow. This multi-directional mist flow collides and folds on the gourd-shaped mist outlet cover 21, further increasing the complexity and dynamics of the mist. Ultimately, the mist flows out of the mist outlet and, illuminated by the light guide assembly 24, creates a varied and dynamic simulated flame effect.
[0044] In one embodiment, the humidifier assembly 10 includes a water tank assembly 11 and a humidifier body 12, and the humidifier body 12 is connected to the water tank assembly 11. A fan 13 is provided between the humidifier assembly 10 and the mist outlet assembly 20. The air inlet of the fan 13 is connected to the outlet of the humidifier assembly 10, and the air outlet of the fan 13 is connected to the mist outlet channel. Specifically, an ultrasonic oscillation plate 121 is provided in the humidifier body 12. When the ultrasonic oscillation plate 121 is in operation, it generates mist, which is blown into the mist outlet box by the small DC fan 13. The mist is corrected by the mist outlet grille 23 and rises upward. The light illuminates it to form a floating flame posture.
[0045] In one embodiment, the bottom plate of the mist outlet lower cover 22 is gradually tilted upward on the side away from the humidifying assembly 10. The purpose of this setting is to reduce the mist outlet distance on the side away from the humidifying assembly 10, so that the mist output of the entire mist outlet is basically consistent, the flame effect is consistent, and a better viewing effect is given.
[0046] In one embodiment, a groove 232 is provided in the middle of the mist outlet grille 23, and the light guide assembly 24 is disposed in the groove 232. The groove 232 reduces direct impact on the light guide assembly 24, ensuring the purity of the light and the clarity of the flame effect, so that the water mist can be more smoothly dispersed in all directions when passing through the mist outlet grille 23.
[0047] The light guide assembly 24 consists of a light panel 241 and a waterproof cover 242 surrounding the panel. The cover 242, located above the LED lights on the panel 241, is curved. It is enclosed in a transparent blister pack or other transparent plastic packaging to isolate the light panel 241 from water mist and extend its lifespan. The transparent material ensures free light penetration and a clear display of the flame effect. The curved cover 242 evenly distributes the light, giving the flame a more three-dimensional appearance.
[0048] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a composite glass electric heater, comprising a heater body equipped with a heating component, an electronic control component 200, and a flame generation structure 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The electronic control component 200 is connected to the heating component and the flame generation structure 100, respectively. The electronic control component 200 can control the heating component and the flame generation mechanism in a coordinated or independent manner to achieve different functions. Users can observe the dancing humidified simulated flame through the glass, making this electric heater a combination of heating, humidification, health therapy, and ornamental value.
[0049] The flame generating mechanism is installed in the electric heater body through the left partition plate 501 and the right partition plate 502 .
[0050] In one embodiment, the heating component includes a glass heating component 300 and an aluminum-string auxiliary heating component 400. The glass heating component 300 is installed on the outer frame of the electric heater body so that the glass heating component 300 is exposed outside the electric heater body. The aluminum-string auxiliary heating component 400 is installed inside the electric heater body. The top and bottom surfaces of the electric heater body are provided with hollow grids 500.
[0051] Specifically, the glass heating element 300 is a glass heating element that generates far-infrared heat energy. The glass heating element is exposed to the body and fixed by an outer frame, leaving no obstructions in front or behind. This creates a large area of far-infrared radiation, and the heat generated is used for heating, with excellent health and therapeutic effects. The aluminum auxiliary heating element is installed inside the body and heats the air through the upper and lower hollow grids 500, forming warm air convection for indoor heating.
[0052] In one embodiment, the aluminum auxiliary heating assembly 400 includes an aluminum heating element that fits in the mist outlet channel of the flame generating structure 100. The warm air convection generated by the aluminum heating element drives the mist at the mist outlet to shake, forming a more dynamic and realistic flame.
[0053] In one embodiment, the glass heating element 300 is double-sided or single-sided. According to actual needs, both sides can be glass heating elements or one side can be a glass heating element and the other side can be decorative glass.
[0054] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all such improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to this utility model.
[0055] The above is an exemplary description of the present utility model patent in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the implementation of the present utility model patent is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present utility model patent, or the concept and technical solution of the present utility model patent are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
