Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric fireplace technology, and in particular to an electric fireplace with adjustable size. Background Technology

[0002] Electric fireplaces mainly generate heat through heating elements such as resistance wires, carbon fiber heating tubes, and halogen tubes. When current passes through these heating elements, electrical energy is converted into heat energy, which raises the temperature of the heating elements. Then, the heat is dissipated into the surrounding space through thermal radiation and thermal convection, thereby achieving the purpose of heating.

[0003] Most electric fireplaces on the market are freestanding, with independent shells and bases, allowing them to be placed anywhere in the living room, bedroom, or other rooms. They are easy to move, require no complicated installation, and are suitable for already decorated rooms, with their placement adjustable as needed. However, electric fireplaces are often limited by fixed dimensions, making it difficult to adapt to specific space requirements during installation. They are either too large, taking up too much space, or too small, failing to achieve the desired decorative and heating effects. Existing technology uses modular splicing designs for electric fireplaces, allowing users to freely choose the number of splicing modules based on the size of their walls and the layout of their rooms, thus precisely customizing the size to suit the space. However, for modular splicing electric fireplaces, gaps will appear at the splicing points. Even if the splicing is made as tightly as possible during installation, due to factors such as thermal expansion and contraction of materials, these gaps will gradually widen or become more noticeable during use, affecting the overall aesthetics of the electric fireplace.
