Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heater technology, and in particular to a fireplace heater equipped with simulated fire. Background Technology

[0002] A fireplace heater with simulated fire is an appliance that combines heating function with decorative effect. It usually uses electric heating or infrared heating technology to provide warmth through built-in heating elements, while using LED lights, projection, steam and other technologies to simulate the visual effect of a real flame, creating an atmosphere similar to a traditional fireplace burning wood.

[0003] Existing fireplace-style heaters offer a limited range of simulated flame effects, failing to capture the dynamic changes of a real fireplace. This lack of depth and dynamism diminishes the visual experience. The unchanging light and shadow effects of the flames tend to appear rigid and monotonous. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a fireplace-style heater equipped with simulated fire, which can form a multi-layered and dynamically changing visual effect of flames through the adjustment of the lifting mechanism, thereby improving the user experience.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a fireplace-style heater equipped with simulated fire, including a shell. The shell contains a warm air chamber and a simulated fire chamber. A partition is provided inside the shell. The warm air chamber is located below the partition, and the simulated fire chamber is located above the partition. A warm air assembly is installed in the warm air chamber. The front end of the shell has an air outlet corresponding to the warm air assembly, and the rear end of the shell has an air inlet corresponding to the warm air assembly. Simulated charcoal is installed in the simulated fire chamber, and the simulated fire assembly is located behind the simulated charcoal. The simulated fire assembly includes a light-emitting module and an imaging module. The light-emitting module includes a light source and a reflector located above and behind the light source. The imaging module includes a glass plate and an imaging projection plate located behind the glass plate. A lifting mechanism is provided inside the housing, which drives the imaging projection plate to rise and fall. The imaging projection plate is provided with a first light-transmitting groove group, a second light-transmitting groove group, and a third light-transmitting groove group. The first, second, and third light-transmitting groove groups are all flame-shaped. The first light-transmitting groove group is higher than the simulated charcoal and lower than the second light-transmitting groove group. The third light-transmitting groove group is higher than the second light-transmitting groove group. The reflector reflects light onto the imaging projection plate to form an image.

[0006] The display projection panel has sliders at both ends, and the housing has a slide rail, with the sliders slidably mounted on the slide rail.

[0007] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting motor fixed on the housing, a drive gear on the lifting motor, and a rack on the slider. The drive gear drives the rack to move up and down.

[0008] The display projection panel includes a first projection panel, with a second projection panel and a third projection panel connected to both sides of the first projection panel, and the second and third projection panels are folded backward.

[0009] LED light-emitting elements are installed below the simulated charcoal.

[0010] The heating assembly includes a volute, a guide vane inside the volute, an air inlet on the volute, an air outlet at the front of the volute, a heating element on the air outlet, and a guide plate between the air outlet and the air outlet channel.

[0011] A control module is located above the simulated fire chamber.

[0012] The simulated fire chamber is also equipped with a reflector motor, which has a movable rod. The reflector is mounted on the movable rod, and the reflector motor drives the reflector to rotate.

[0013] A light-blocking plate is provided above the light source, and the light-blocking plate guides the light to the reflector.

[0014] When this invention is in use, the heating element starts working after the device is started. Air enters the heating chamber through the air inlet at the rear of the housing. Inside the volute, a guide wheel rotates, causing the air to flow to the air outlet. As the air passes through the air outlet, it is heated by the heating element, forming warm air, which is then blown out through the air outlet at the front of the housing, achieving the heating effect. Simultaneously, the simulated fire element also starts working. The light source emits light, which is reflected onto the projection panel through a reflector, forming a simulated flame projection. The reflector motor drives the reflector to rotate, causing the light and shadow to constantly change, creating a more realistic flame flickering effect. Furthermore, the LED light-emitting element below the simulated charcoal emits red light, simulating the brightness changes of burning charcoal, making the overall visual effect even more realistic. When the temperature of the heating element is low, the projection panel is at its lowest position, and only the third light-transmitting slot group forms an image, resulting in a smaller flame effect. As the temperature of the heating element rises, the lifting mechanism is activated, and the drive gear moves the rack upward, causing the projection panel to gradually rise. The second and third light-transmitting slot groups form an image simultaneously, making the flame larger. When the heating element reaches its highest temperature, the lifting mechanism raises the projection panel to its highest point, at which point the projections of the first, second, and third light-transmitting slot groups are all displayed, creating the most intense flame effect.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention employs optical projection technology, utilizing the light source of the light-emitting module in conjunction with the reflector to create a multi-layered, dynamically changing visual effect of flames.

[0017] By adjusting the lifting mechanism, multiple light-transmitting slots on the projection panel can be raised and lowered, allowing the flame effect to change with the heat, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0018] The projection panel features a foldable design, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the flame image and making the flame appear more layered and deep. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] according to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a fireplace-style heater equipped with simulated fire, comprising a shell 1, wherein the shell 1 is provided with a warm air chamber 2 and a simulated fire chamber 3, and a partition 4 is provided inside the shell 1. The warm air chamber 2 is located below the partition 4 and is equipped with a warm air component 5 inside, which can realize efficient air circulation and heating functions; the simulated fire chamber 3 is located above the partition 4 and is equipped with simulated charcoal 8 and a simulated fire component 9 to create a realistic flame visual effect, so that the heater not only has good heating performance, but also provides a warm and comfortable visual experience.

[0027] To achieve efficient air circulation, the front end of the housing 1 is provided with an air outlet slot 6 corresponding to the heating air assembly 5, and the rear end is provided with an air inlet slot 7 corresponding to the heating air assembly 5. The heating air assembly 5 includes a volute 28, inside which is a guide vane 29, and in front of it is an air outlet 31. A heating element 32 is provided at the air outlet 31, which can quickly heat up when air flows through it. A guide vane 33 is provided between the air outlet 31 and the air outlet slot 6 to ensure that warm air is evenly delivered from the device, thereby improving heating efficiency.

[0028] The simulated fire component 9 consists of a light-emitting module 10 and a display module 11. The light-emitting module 10 includes a light source 12 and a reflector 13 located above and behind the light source 12. The light generated by the light source 12 is reflected by the reflector 13, making the projection effect more uniform and natural. The display module 11 includes a glass plate and a display projection plate 14 located behind the glass plate. The display projection plate 14 has multiple sets of light-transmitting slots. The first light-transmitting slot group 16, the second light-transmitting slot group 17, and the third light-transmitting slot group 18 all have a flame-shaped design, and there is a height difference between the three, making the projected image more layered. The first light-transmitting slot group 16 is higher than the simulated charcoal 8 but lower than the second light-transmitting slot group 17. The second light-transmitting slot group 17 is higher than the first light-transmitting slot group 16, and the third light-transmitting slot group 18 is higher than the second light-transmitting slot group 17. This arrangement can create a bottom-up flame jumping effect, enhancing the realism of the flame.

[0029] To make the flame changes more vivid, the projection panel 14 is equipped with sliders 19 at both ends and a slide rail 20 inside the housing 1, allowing the sliders 19 to slide freely on the slide rail 20. The lifting mechanism 15 includes a lifting motor 21 fixed to the housing 1, with a drive gear 22 on the lifting motor 21, and a rack 23 meshing with the slider 19. When the lifting motor 21 is started, the drive gear 22 drives the rack 23 to move up and down, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the projection panel 14. When the temperature of the heating air assembly 5 is low, the projection panel 14 is in a low position, and only the upper part of the third light-transmitting slot group 18 can be imaged, resulting in a relatively weak flame effect. As the temperature of the heating air assembly 5 increases, the lifting mechanism 15 drives the projection panel 14 to move upward, so that both the second light-transmitting slot group 17 and the third light-transmitting slot group 18 can be imaged, and the flame gradually intensifies. When the temperature of the heating air assembly 5 reaches its highest state, the projection panel 14 rises to its highest point, at which point all light-transmitting slot groups can be imaged, presenting the most intense flame effect, thereby realizing the linkage between flame and temperature changes.

[0030] The projection panel 14 includes a first projection panel 24, with a second projection panel 25 and a third projection panel 26 connected to its two sides respectively. The two projection panels are folded backward, which enhances the three-dimensionality of the flame image and makes the projection effect more realistic and layered. In addition, to improve the effect of light and shadow changes, a reflector motor 35 is also provided inside the simulated fire chamber 3. The reflector motor 35 drives the reflector 13 to rotate through the movable rod 36, so that the light source 12 is refracted and projected at different angles, making the flame movement more dynamic and natural. At the same time, a light-blocking plate 37 is provided above the light source 12. The light-blocking plate 37 can accurately guide the light to the reflector 13 to optimize the light distribution and make the flame imaging effect more uniform and softer.

[0031] In addition, an LED light-emitting element 27 is installed below the simulated charcoal 8. This element enhances the visual effect of the simulated charcoal 8, making the charcoal look more realistic and dynamically changing. When the heater is working, the LED light-emitting element 27 produces a faint red light or a flashing effect, simulating the brightness changes of burning charcoal, thus making the overall visual experience more natural and realistic. To further enhance the intelligence of the equipment, a control module 34 is also installed above the simulated fire chamber 3. This module is used to control the light effect, temperature adjustment, and operation of the lifting mechanism 15, enabling the entire heater to achieve intelligent linkage during use and meet user needs.

[0032] A temperature sensor 38 is installed in the warm air chamber 2. The temperature sensor 38 detects the real-time temperature of the warm air component 5 and inputs the temperature signal into the control module 34. The control module 34 determines which range the current temperature is in, and then controls the lifting motor 21 to run in the forward or reverse direction, driving the display projection panel 14 to move up and down, thereby displaying flame patterns at different heights.

[0033] When this invention is in use, after the device is started, the warm air assembly 5 begins to work. Air enters the warm air chamber 2 through the air inlet 7 at the rear end of the housing 1. Inside the volute 28, the guide wheel 29 rotates, causing the air to flow to the air outlet 31. As the air passes through the air outlet 31, it is heated by the heating element 32, forming warm air, which is finally blown out through the air outlet 6 at the front end of the housing 1, achieving a heating effect. At the same time, the simulated fire assembly 9 also begins to work. The light source 12 emits light, which is reflected by the reflector 13 onto the projection panel 14, forming a simulated flame projection. The reflector motor 35 drives the reflector 13 to rotate, causing the light and shadow to change continuously, creating a more realistic flame flickering effect. In addition, the LED light-emitting element 27 below the simulated charcoal 8 emits red light, simulating the brightness changes of charcoal during combustion, making the overall visual effect more realistic. When the temperature of the heating element 5 is low, the projection panel 14 is at its lowest position, and only the third light-transmitting slot group 18 is imaged, resulting in a smaller flame effect. As the temperature of the heating element 5 increases, the lifting mechanism 15 is activated, and the drive gear 22 drives the rack 23 to move upward, causing the projection panel 14 to gradually rise. The second light-transmitting slot group 17 and the third light-transmitting slot group 18 are imaged simultaneously, making the flame larger. When the heating element 5 reaches its highest temperature, the lifting mechanism 15 raises the projection panel 14 to its highest point, at which point the projections of the first, second, and third light-transmitting slot groups 18 are all displayed, forming the most intense flame effect.

[0034] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0035] This invention employs optical projection technology, utilizing the light source of the light-emitting module in conjunction with the reflector to create a multi-layered, dynamically changing visual effect of flames.

[0036] By adjusting the lifting mechanism, multiple light-transmitting slots on the projection panel can be raised and lowered, allowing the flame effect to change with the heat, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0037] The projection panel features a foldable design, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the flame image and making the flame appear more layered and deep.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
