Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric fireplace design technology, and in particular to an electric fireplace frame structure. Background Technology

[0002] An electric fireplace is a common type of stove that is embedded in a wall or furniture cabinet. It mainly consists of a frame, a fire plate inside the frame, and an electric heater.

[0003] Existing electric fireplaces have removable back panels but non-removable front panels. When the fireplace is embedded in a wall or cabinet, the back panel abuts against the wall of the recess. This means that when maintenance is needed, the operator must pull the entire fireplace out of the wall or cabinet and then open the back panel to perform the necessary operations. As can be seen from this design, current electric fireplace maintenance is quite difficult, increasing the operator's workload and impacting maintenance efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, finding a technical solution that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems has become an important research topic for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0034] This utility model discloses an electric fireplace frame structure to solve the technical problem that the front panel of the existing electric fireplace frame structure is not removable, which leads to maintenance difficulties.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 6The present invention provides an electric fireplace frame structure, including a main frame 1 and a front panel 2.

[0037] The front side of the main frame 1 has an opening, and the front panel 2 covers the opening and is detachably connected to the main frame 1;

[0038] The front side of the front panel 2 is recessed into the interior of the main frame 1 to form a groove 3, and a first mounting hole 4 is provided on each of the two groove walls opposite to each other in the groove 3.

[0039] A connecting piece 7 is connected to the main frame 1 at a position corresponding to the first mounting hole 4. The connecting piece 7 has a first threaded hole 8. The axis of the first threaded hole 8 is on the same straight line as the axis of the first mounting hole 4. A first fixing screw is inserted into the first mounting hole 4. The threaded end of the first fixing screw passes through the first mounting hole 4 and is threaded into the first threaded hole 8 so that the front panel 2 is fixed to the main frame 1.

[0040] In this embodiment of the electric fireplace frame structure, the front panel 2 is detachably connected to the main frame 1. When the operator needs to disassemble the front panel 2, they only need to tighten the first fixing screw to disconnect the connection between the front panel 2 and the main frame 1, thereby allowing maintenance of the relevant parts inside the main frame 1. This design greatly reduces the difficulty of operation for the operator and effectively improves maintenance efficiency.

[0041] In addition, in this embodiment, the first mounting hole 4 is specifically located on the groove wall of the groove 3, that is, the plane where the first mounting hole 4 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the front panel 2 is located. This design can effectively hide the first mounting hole 4 and the first fixing screw, and avoid affecting the appearance of the electric fireplace frame structure.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom of each of the opposite sides of the main frame 1 is provided with a first engaging portion 12;

[0043] The bottom of each of the opposite sides of the front panel 2 is provided with a second engaging part 11 that cooperates with the first engaging part 12;

[0044] When the front panel 2 is installed on the main frame 1, the first engaging part 12 and the second engaging part 11 engage with each other.

[0045] It should be noted that the above design increases the stability of the connection between the front panel 2 and the main frame 1. Furthermore, when the first fastening screw is loosened, the first engaging part 12 and the second engaging part 11 engage to prevent the front panel 2 from falling directly from the main frame 1. Only after the operator separates the first engaging part 12 from the second engaging part 11 can the front panel 2 be completely separated from the main frame 1.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first engaging part 12 is a hook, and the second engaging part 11 is a groove;

[0047] When the front panel 2 is installed on the main frame 1, the hook is engaged in the slot.

[0048] Alternatively, the first engaging part 12 is a slot, and the second engaging part 11 is a hook;

[0049] When the front panel 2 is installed on the main frame 1, the hook is engaged in the slot.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a cover plate 5 is also installed on the side of the main frame 1, and a gap is reserved between the cover plate 5 and the side of the main frame 1 to form a cable management space.

[0051] The side of the main frame 1 is also provided with a first wire passage hole 9, a second wire passage hole 10 and a third wire passage hole 6 that connect the inside of the main frame 1. The first wire passage hole 9 and the second wire passage hole 10 are both located in the cable management space. The first wire passage hole 9 is located above the second wire passage hole 10. The third wire passage hole 6 is located outside the cable management space and is arranged adjacent to the first wire passage hole 9.

[0052] It should be noted that the electric fireplace is equipped with a power cord to power its internal electronic components. The power cord includes a cord body, a plug connected to the first end of the cord body, and an electrical connector connected to the second end of the cord body. The electrical connector is connected to the electronic components, and the plug is connected to an external 220V power socket.

[0053] The aforementioned wire first passes through the third wire hole 6 into the main frame 1, then passes through the first wire hole 9 into the wire management space, and then passes through the second wire hole into the main frame 1, thereby making the electrical connector at the second end of the wire electrically connected to the electronic components inside the electric fireplace, while the plug at the first end of the wire is outside the main frame 1.

[0054] Through the above design, the wires can be stored in the cable management space, avoiding interference between excessively long wires and other electronic components in the main frame 1.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cover plate 5 is detachably connected to the side of the main frame 1.

[0056] It should be noted that the above design allows operators to easily install or remove the cover plate 5.

[0057] It should also be noted that the side of the main frame 1 mentioned above is specifically the left or right side of the main frame 1.

[0058] Specifically, the cover plate 5 in this embodiment has a connecting side;

[0059] Multiple second mounting holes are provided on the connecting side;

[0060] The side of the main frame 1 is provided with a plurality of second threaded holes corresponding to the second mounting holes. The second mounting holes are provided with second fixing screws. The threaded end of the second fixing screw passes through the second mounting hole and is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole so that the cover plate 5 is fixed to the side of the main frame 1.

[0061] It should be noted that, through the above design, when the operator tightens the second fixing screw, the cover plate 5 can be fixedly installed on the side of the main frame 1 to form a cable management space with the side of the main frame 1.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a transparent plate is provided on the front side of the front panel 2.

[0063] The above provides a detailed description of the electric fireplace frame structure provided by this utility model. For those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of the embodiments of this utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
