[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 And Figure 2 The flame simulation electric fireplace comprises:
[0031] A furnace body 10, a simulated firewood rack 11 is arranged in the flame simulation electric fireplace, the simulated firewood rack 11 is located in the middle of the flame simulation electric fireplace, and the furnace body 10 has a display surface; and
[0032] A flame simulation assembly 20 arranged in the furnace body 10, the flame simulation assembly 20 comprises a light source 21, a reflecting piece 22, a refractive semi-transparent plate 23 and a full-transparent plate 24, the light source 21 is located above the simulated firewood rack 11, the reflecting piece 22 is arranged corresponding to the light exit surface of the light source 21, the full-transparent plate 24 is arranged on the side of the simulated firewood rack 11 facing the display surface, and the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 is located between the full-transparent plate 24 and the reflecting piece 22.
[0033] The projection surface of the full-transparent plate 24 is arranged corresponding to the display surface of the furnace body 10.
[0034] In the technical scheme of the utility model, the light emitted by the light source 21 is reflected to the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 through the reflecting piece 22, the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 refracts the light to the full-transparent plate 24 to form a projection image, and the simulated firewood rack 11 with clear and realistic simulated flames can be seen through the display surface of the furnace body 10, wherein the reflecting piece 22 enhances the uniformity and stereoscopic effect of the light, the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 simulates the dynamic of the flame through the refraction and scattering of light, and the full-transparent plate 24 ensures the clear projection of the flame image.
[0035] The light source 21 can be a plurality of single point light sources 21 or linear light sources 21 arranged in a straight line. The point light source 21 can be a single LED lamp, and the linear light source 21 can be a lamp strip of any length. It can be understood that the electric fireplace is provided with a control circuit and a control panel on the outer wall of the furnace body 10. The light source 21 is electrically connected to the control circuit and can be controlled by the control panel to emit different control instructions to control the number of light sources 21. Specifically, the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 is fixed in the furnace body 10 above the simulated firewood rack 11, and then the light source 21 is fixed on the refractive semi-transparent plate 23. The two ends of the reflecting piece 22 are inserted into the inner wall of the furnace body 10. It can be understood that the reflecting surface of the reflecting piece 22 is arranged opposite to the light emitting surface of the light source 21. In this way, under the reflection of the reflecting piece 22, the light emitted by the light source 21 is transmitted to the refractive semi-transparent plate 23, and the refracted light of the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 is projected onto the full transparent plate 24. At this time, part of the light is refracted to the simulated firewood rack 11, and part of the light is reflected to the display surface of the furnace body 10. After multiple refraction and reflection of the flame simulation assembly 20, more light can be projected to the simulated firewood rack 11 to form a clear simulated flame, and the light on the display surface can play a brightening role, thereby improving the flame simulation effect of the electric fireplace.
[0036] In an embodiment, the reflecting piece 22 is rotatably arranged in the furnace body 10. In this way, the light projected to the simulated firewood rack 11 can form a "jumping" simulated flame, forming a dynamic visual effect and enhancing the user's experience.
[0037] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , the reflecting piece 22 includes a rotating rod 221 and a plurality of reflecting blade groups 222. Each reflecting blade group 222 includes a plurality of reflecting blades 222. The rotating rod 221 is rotatably arranged in the furnace body 10, and the plurality of reflecting blade groups 222 are arranged along the length direction of the rotating rod 221. In this way, the plurality of reflecting blade groups 222 can effectively disperse and uniformize the light emitted by the light source 21, avoiding the hot spots and dark areas that may be generated by the light source 21, and making the flame simulation effect more uniform and natural. The reflecting blades 222 of each reflecting blade group 222 are arranged in a circumferential direction of the rotating rod 221. When the rotating rod 221 rotates, the reflecting blades 222 can reflect light at different angles, thereby forming a variable light and shadow effect on the simulated firewood rack 11. Since the reflecting blades 222 are arranged at intervals, the rotation of the rotating rod 221 will cause the blades to move in the light path constantly, thereby generating a constantly changing light and shadow pattern on the simulated firewood rack 11, simulating the jumping and waving effect of the flame. It can be understood that the number of reflecting blades 222 included in each reflecting blade group 222 is not limited, and preferably, each reflecting blade group 222 includes four reflecting blades 222, and the included angle between every two adjacent reflecting blades 222 is 90 degrees.
[0038] In order to realize the automatic rotation of the rotating rod 221, please refer to Figure 3 The furnace body 10 is provided with a driving motor 12 arranged on the side of the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 away from the full-transparent plate 24; one end of the rotating rod 221 is connected to the rotating shaft of the driving motor 12, and the driving motor 12 is electrically connected to the control circuit, so that the rotation instruction or the pause instruction is sent through the control panel, thereby realizing different forms of simulated flame effects.
[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 The light source 21 is arranged corresponding to the simulated firewood rack 11, that is, the light source 21 is located directly above the simulated firewood rack 11, so that the light emitted by the light source 21 can uniformly irradiate the simulated firewood rack 11, forming a uniform flame effect.
[0040] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The refractive semi-transparent plate 23 is arranged along the length direction of the furnace body 10, and the full-transparent plate 24 is arranged along the height direction of the furnace body 10, so that the horizontally placed refractive semi-transparent plate 23 helps the light to be uniformly distributed in the horizontal direction, thereby creating a consistent flame effect on the entire length of the simulated firewood rack 11. The visual effect of the simulated flame spreading along the wood pile in the real fireplace is generated, the full-transparent plate 24 extends along the height direction, so that the flame effect is not only uniform in the horizontal direction, but also has a sense of hierarchy in the vertical direction, enhancing the overall three-dimensional effect, and at the same time, the internal space of the furnace body 10 can be fully utilized so that the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 and the full-transparent plate 24 do not interfere with each other.
[0041] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The full-transparent plate 24 comprises an integral support section 241 and a projection section 242, the support section 241 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the furnace body 10, and the projection section 242 is located at the end of the support section 241 and is arranged obliquely;
[0042] The projection section 242 has a projection surface, and the dihedral angle between the projection surface and the light exit surface of the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 is 30-60 degrees; specifically, the bottom of the support section 241 is close to the inner wall of the furnace body 10, and the upper structure has a rounded corner portion, so that the support section 241 can extend towards the light source 21, so that the support section 241 has a large enough reflecting surface to receive the light refracted from the refractive semi-transparent plate 23, and at the same time, the dihedral angle between the projection surface and the light exit surface of the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 is 45 degrees, thereby reducing the loss of light and ensuring that the projected flame image is clear.
[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 3The flame simulation assembly 20 further comprises a light-shielded flame plate 25, which is a light-shielded plate and has a light passing hole; the light-shielded flame plate 25 is stacked on the side of the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 away from the simulated firewood rack 11, and the light emitted by the light reflecting piece 22 passes through the light passing hole and enters the refractive semi-transparent plate 23, wherein, the light passing hole of different shapes can simulate the simulated flame of different shapes, shape a more real and diversified flame, and improve the overall visual experience; it can be understood that the light source 21 is installed on the fixing structure arranged on the light-shielded flame plate 25, so that the fixing structure does not need to be additionally arranged on the inner wall of the furnace body 10, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty.
[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 The flame simulation electric fireplace further comprises a heating body 30, which is arranged at the bottom of the furnace body 10 and is positioned with the simulated firewood rack 11, specifically, the heating body 30 is electrically connected with the control circuit, and the heating body 30 has a fan device and is provided with air holes on the side of the furnace body 10 having a display surface, so that the heat generated by the heating body 30 can be emitted through the air holes under the blowing of the fan device, thereby realizing the heating effect.
[0045] In an embodiment, the flame simulation electric fireplace has a plurality of flame simulation assemblies 20, which are located at the outer periphery of the simulated firewood rack 11; the full transparent plate 24 of each flame simulation assembly 20 is arranged corresponding to a display surface, specifically, the flame simulation electric fireplace has three flame simulation assemblies 20, each of which comprises a light source 21, a light reflecting piece 22 and a full transparent plate 24, a plurality of full transparent plates 24 can share one refractive semi-transparent plate 23, or the refractive semi-transparent plate 23 is arranged as a plurality of sub-refractive semi-transparent plates 23, the three light sources 21 are located at the same height and arranged on the three surfaces of the simulated firewood rack 11, each light reflecting piece 22 is arranged corresponding to a light source 21, and each full transparent plate 24 is arranged corresponding to a light reflecting piece 22, the three full transparent plates 24 are located on the three surfaces of the simulated firewood rack 11, so that the three-surface flame simulation effect is realized; it can be understood that the specific number of flame simulation assemblies 20 can be arranged according to the shape, volume and other factors of the simulated firewood rack 11, so as to realize the single-surface and multi-surface flame simulation effect, therefore the specific number of flame simulation assemblies 20 is not limited herein.
