Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, an electric heater 10 is provided, including a face mask 100 and a charcoal-burning component 200. The face mask 100 has a mounting groove 110 integrally recessed towards its interior. The charcoal-burning component 200 is mounted in the mounting groove 110 and is used to simulate the burning of charcoal.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the electric heater 10, when in use, simulates the visual effect of burning charcoal through the charcoal-like component 200, increasing its visual appeal and creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere, thus enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the mounting groove 110 is formed by the recess of the faceplate 100, meaning the faceplate 100 is a closed structure. This effectively prevents dust and debris from entering the interior of the electric heater 10, keeping it clean and operating normally, and extending its lifespan. Simultaneously, the closed faceplate 100 also improves the safety of the electric heater 10, preventing users from contacting internal live components during use and reducing the risk of electric shock.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the face mask 100 can be made of high-temperature resistant and aging-resistant materials, and manufactured through processes such as stamping and bending to ensure the stability and safety of the face mask 100 after long-term use. At the same time, the face mask 100 can also be made of high-strength plastic or metal materials, and has good heat resistance and impact resistance.

[0032] In this specific embodiment, the electric heater 10 is designed to mimic the shape of a charcoal stove in the prior art, and its surface uses wood grain or metallic materials to create a warm and retro atmosphere. In other embodiments, the electric heater 10 can also be designed to present a modern minimalist style.

[0033] The charcoal-burning component 200 can be configured as any existing structure capable of mimicking the visual effect of burning charcoal. The number of charcoal-burning components 200 and mounting slots 110 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual usage needs. Specifically, in this embodiment, there is one charcoal-burning component 200 and one mounting slot 110. The mounting slot 110 is located at the center of the face mask 100.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 110 is further provided with a wire groove 120, and the charcoal-fire-like component 200 includes a light strip 210, which is installed in the wire groove 120. Thus, the wire groove 120 can serve both positioning and protection functions. When installing the light strip 210, the wire groove 120 can act as a positioning element, ensuring that the light strip 210 can be quickly and accurately installed at the preset position on the faceplate 100. After the light strip 210 is installed, it is stored within the wire groove 120, ensuring that the light strip 210 will not interfere with other components within the mounting groove 110, thereby improving the reliability of the electric heater 10.

[0035] The number and shape of the wire groove 120 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual usage needs. Specifically, in this embodiment, there is one wire groove 120, which extends along a curved direction.

[0036] It should be noted that the light strip 210 is the core component of the charcoal-burning component 200, simulating the warm glow of burning charcoal through specific lighting effects. The light strip 210 can use LED lights, emitting a soft and warm light to create a visual effect similar to burning charcoal. Furthermore, the light strip 210 in this application can also have intelligent control functions, allowing for brightness and color temperature adjustment via remote control or a mobile app. It can also be programmed to change the light to simulate the flickering effect of burning charcoal, enhancing the visual experience of the charcoal-burning component 200 and enabling the electric heater 10 to adapt to different usage scenarios and atmosphere requirements.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the mounting groove 110 is located on the outer end face of the mask 100, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 110 extends to the outer side of the mask 100, and one end of the wire groove 120 extends to the outer side of the mask 100.

[0038] In this specific embodiment, one end of the wire groove 120 is an open end, and the other end is a blind end. The open end can be used for wiring so that the light strip 210 can extend out of the mask 100 and connect to other electrical components.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, optionally, the mounting groove 110 is located on the outer end face of the face mask 100, along the left-right direction of the face mask 100 (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown in direction A), the mounting groove 110 extends to the opposite sides of the face shield 100. In this way, there is no obstruction on the left and right sides of the mounting groove 110, which facilitates the installation of the charcoal fire simulation component 200 in the mounting groove 110.

[0040] Optionally, the inner wall of the wire trough 120 is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion, which is configured to snap into the light strip 210 when it is installed in the wire trough 120. In this way, the snap-fit ​​portion can limit the position of the light strip 210 relative to the cover 100, ensuring that the light strip 210 will not shift during use and improving the reliability of the electric heater 10.

[0041] The snap-fit ​​portion can be equipped with a buckle, a snap block, or other snap-fit ​​structure. The number of snap-fit ​​portions can be flexibly adjusted according to actual usage needs. Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of snap-fit ​​portions is at least two, and each snap-fit ​​portion is spaced apart along the extension direction of the groove 120.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the charcoal-burning component 200 further includes a charcoal-burning element 220, which is installed in the mounting groove 110 and can mimic charcoal burning under the illumination of the light strip 210.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the light strip 210 does not illuminate the charcoal-like component 220, the charcoal-like component 220 displays its original color (i.e., black) to simulate the visual effect of unburned charcoal. When the light strip 210 illuminates the charcoal-like component 220, the charcoal-like component 220 displays a burning color (i.e., dark red) to simulate the visual effect of burning charcoal.

[0044] The shape and color of the charcoal-like part 220 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual usage needs.

[0045] It should be noted that the charcoal-like component 220 is an important decorative element in the charcoal-like component 200, and can be made of high-temperature resistant materials, such as ceramic or fiberglass. The charcoal-like component 220 can also mimic ash, and through fine craftsmanship and texture processing, it can appear more realistic. Specifically, in this embodiment, the shape of the charcoal-like component 220 can resemble a rockery, which not only increases the visual depth but also reflects and scatters the light from the light strip 210, further enhancing the visual effect of charcoal burning.

[0046] Optionally, the charcoal-like component 220 is fixed to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 110 to cover the light strip 210. In this way, the light emitted by the light strip 210 can illuminate the charcoal-like component 220 as much as possible, improving the visual effect of the charcoal-like combustion of the electric heater 10.

[0047] The charcoal-like component 220 can be installed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 110 by snap-fit, plug-in, screw-in or other fixed connection methods.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the charcoal-fire-like component 200 also includes a transparent cover 230, which covers the outside of the charcoal-fire-like component 220. Thus, the transparent cover 230 can protect the components inside the mounting groove 110, preventing dust and debris from entering the mounting groove 110 and extending the service life of the electric heater 10.

[0049] The transparent cover 230 can be installed in the mounting slot 110 by snap-fit, plug-in, screw-in or other fixed connection methods.

[0050] It should be noted that the transparent cover 230 is the outer shell of the charcoal-like component 200 and can be made of high-temperature resistant materials, such as metal or heat-resistant plastic. The transparent cover 230 must not only be aesthetically pleasing but also possess excellent heat dissipation performance to ensure that the light strip 210 and the charcoal-like component 220 do not overheat during prolonged use. Additionally, decorative patterns or textures can be incorporated into the transparent cover 230 to enhance its overall aesthetic appeal.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer contour shape of the transparent cover 230 is adapted to the inner contour shape of the mounting groove 110. Thus, when the transparent cover 230 is installed in the mounting groove 110, the outer wall of the transparent cover 230 can smoothly transition with the outer wall of the face mask 100, improving the aesthetics of the electric heater 10.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the electric heater 10 further includes a heating element assembly 300, with a face shield 100 mounted on the front of the heating element assembly 300.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, in this specific embodiment, the electric heater 10 further includes a base, a display panel assembly, and a stand assembly 400. The base is located below the face mask 100 and is fixedly connected to the face mask 100. The stand assembly 400 is mounted on the base. The display panel assembly is mounted on the face mask 100 and is used to display the operating status, temperature, time, and other relevant information of the electric heater 10.

[0054] It should be noted that the base is the supporting part of the face mask 100, mainly used to fix and support the entire face mask 100, ensuring its stability and safety during use. The base can be made of a sturdy metal material, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel, to ensure its load-bearing capacity and durability. The display panel assembly can be made of high-definition display material, such as LED or LCD, to ensure the clarity and reliability of the display effect. The tripod assembly 400 can be configured as any tripod structure in the prior art.
