Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric fireplace structure technology, and in particular to a simulated electric fireplace structure that can switch between different flame shapes. Background Technology
[0002] Electric fireplace structures are used for partial or whole-house heating in small to medium-sized spaces. An electric fireplace structure consists of the fireplace body, motor, rotating shaft, reflector, PP board, RGB light strip, and charcoal mold. When using the electric fireplace structure, the motor is started by the controller. The motor is connected to the rotating shaft through a reducer and coupling, causing the rotating shaft to rotate. This causes the reflector to rotate, reflecting the light emitted by the RGB light strip onto the PP board. The PP board refracts the light to create a simulated flame effect. Meanwhile, the fireplace body converts electrical energy into heat energy through heating elements such as resistance wires and ceramic heaters. This heat is then diffused using a fan or infrared radiation, thus providing partial or whole-house heating for small to medium-sized spaces.
[0003] The inventors discovered in their daily work that when using an electric fireplace, the simulated flame shape is achieved by reflecting the light emitted by an RGB light strip through a reflector, which is then refracted by a PP board. However, because the shape of the reflector is fixed, the flame appears monotonous, which may affect the user's viewing experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that in actual use, the simulated flame shape of an electric fireplace is achieved by reflecting the light emitted by an RGB light strip through a reflector, which is then refracted by a PP board. However, because the shape of the reflector is fixed, the flame displayed is monotonous, which may affect the user's viewing experience. Therefore, this invention proposes a simulated electric fireplace structure that can switch between different flame shapes.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a simulated electric fireplace structure capable of switching different flame shapes, comprising an electric fireplace body, an inner wall of which is fitted with a PP board, a flame simulation component on the inner wall of which is provided, the flame simulation component comprising two identical rotating shafts rotatably connected to the inner wall of the electric fireplace body via bearings, a first reflector fixedly connected to the arc surface of one rotating shaft, a second reflector fixedly connected to the arc surface of the other rotating shaft, two identical RGB light strips installed on the inner wall of the electric fireplace body, and a drive mechanism and a shielding mechanism provided on the inner wall of the electric fireplace body.
[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting up a flame simulation component, when it is necessary to switch between different flame shapes, the two rotating shafts are rotated by the drive mechanism, causing the first reflector and the second reflector to rotate accordingly. At the same time, the RGB light strip is turned on, and the first reflector is blocked by the blocking mechanism, so that the second reflector reflects onto the PP board. Then the second reflector is blocked, so that the first reflector reflects onto the PP board, thereby achieving the effect of switching the flame shape as much as possible and increasing the user's viewing experience.
[0007] Preferably, the shielding mechanism includes a U-shaped shielding cover disposed on the inner wall of the electric fireplace body, with operating rods fixedly connected to both ends of the U-shaped shielding cover, and U-shaped holes opened at both ends of the electric fireplace body, the operating rods sliding within the U-shaped holes.
[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is that by manually dragging the operating lever, the U-shaped shield moves to the second reflector within the U-shaped hole, thus shielding the second reflector.
[0009] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a sprocket fixedly connected to the arc surface of the rotating shaft, and a chain is provided between the two sprockets.
[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that the rotating shaft rotates, and through the transmission of sprockets and chains, it drives the two rotating shafts to rotate.
[0011] Preferably, a motor is installed on one side of the electric fireplace body, and the motor controls the rotation of the rotating shaft.
[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the motor is started by the controller, and the motor is connected to the rotating shaft through the reducer and coupling, so that the rotating shaft rotates.
[0013] Preferably, a charcoal mold is provided on the inner wall of the electric fireplace body, and a fixing component is provided between the charcoal mold and the electric fireplace body.
[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is to fix the charcoal mold by fixing the components, so that the flame is more realistic.
[0015] Preferably, the fixing component includes a locking block that is slidably inserted into both sides of the inner wall of the electric fireplace body, the right end of the locking block having a sliding surface, and the two sides of the charcoal mold having locking grooves.
[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when fixing the charcoal mold, the charcoal mold is manually dragged to make it contact the sliding surface, so that the locking block is retracted into the body of the electric fireplace, and the elastic mechanism is compressed. After the charcoal mold is completely locked into the inner wall of the electric fireplace body, the elastic mechanism is reset, so that the locking block is locked into the slot, thereby fixing the electric fireplace body.
[0017] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the left end of the locking block, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the electric fireplace body.
[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the charcoal mold is manually dragged to make contact with the sliding surface, the locking block is retracted into the electric fireplace body, the spring is compressed, and after the charcoal mold is completely locked into the inner wall of the electric fireplace body, the spring returns to its original position, so that the locking block is locked into the slot, thereby fixing the electric fireplace body. A transparent glass can be installed on the front of the electric fireplace body.
[0019] Preferably, a pull rope is fixedly connected to the left end of the locking block, and the pull rope passes through the electric fireplace body.
[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is: pulling the pull rope causes the locking block to retract into the electric fireplace body, and then dragging the charcoal mold for disassembly.
[0021] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] In this invention, by setting up a flame simulation component, when different flame shapes need to be switched, a driving mechanism causes two rotating shafts to rotate, causing the first and second reflectors to rotate accordingly. Simultaneously, the RGB light strip is turned on, and a blocking mechanism blocks the first reflector, causing the second reflector to reflect onto the PP board. Then, the second reflector is blocked again, causing the first reflector to reflect onto the PP board. This achieves the goal of switching flame shapes as much as possible, increasing the user's viewing experience. This solves the problem that the flame shape of the electric fireplace is simulated by the reflector reflecting the light emitted by the RGB light strip, which is then refracted by the PP board. However, because the shape of the reflector is fixed, the displayed flame is monotonous, which may affect the user's viewing experience. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a simulated electric fireplace structure that can switch different flame shapes includes an electric fireplace body 1, a PP board 5 installed on the inner wall of the electric fireplace body 1, and a flame simulation component 2 provided on the inner wall of the electric fireplace body 1.
[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: the flame simulation component 2 includes two identical rotating shafts 21 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fireplace body 1 via bearings. A first reflector 22 is fixedly connected to the arc surface of one rotating shaft 21, and a second reflector 23 is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the other rotating shaft 21. Two identical RGB light strips 24 are installed on the inner wall of the fireplace body 1. A drive mechanism 25 and a blocking mechanism 26 are provided on the inner wall of the fireplace body 1. By setting the flame simulation component 2, when different flame shapes need to be switched, the drive mechanism 25 causes the two rotating shafts 21 to rotate, causing the first reflector 22 and the second reflector 23 to rotate accordingly. At the same time, the RGB light strips 24 are turned on. The blocking mechanism 26 blocks the first reflector 22, so that the second reflector 23 reflects onto the PP plate 5. Then, the second reflector 23 is blocked, so that the first reflector 22 reflects onto the PP plate 5, thereby achieving the goal of switching the flame shape as much as possible. To enhance the user's viewing experience, the blocking mechanism 26 includes a U-shaped blocking cover 261 installed on the inner wall of the electric fireplace body 1. Operating rods 263 are fixedly connected to both ends of the U-shaped blocking cover 261. U-shaped holes 262 are opened at both ends of the electric fireplace body 1. The operating rods 263 slide within the U-shaped holes 262. Manually dragging the operating rods 263 moves the U-shaped blocking cover 261 within the U-shaped holes 262, causing it to move to the second reflector 23 and block it. The drive mechanism 25 includes a sprocket 251 fixedly connected to the arc surface of the rotating shaft 21. A chain 252 is installed between the two sprockets 251. The rotation of the rotating shaft 21 is transmitted through the sprockets 251 and the chain 252, causing the two rotating shafts 21 to rotate. A motor is installed on one side of the electric fireplace body 1. The motor controls the rotation of the rotating shaft 21. The motor is started by a controller and connected to the rotating shaft 21 through a reducer and coupling, causing the rotating shaft 21 to rotate.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: a charcoal mold 4 is provided on the inner wall of the electric fireplace body 1. A fixing component 3 is provided between the charcoal mold 4 and the electric fireplace body 1. The fixing component 3 fixes the charcoal mold 4, making the flame simulation more realistic. The fixing component 3 includes a locking block 31 that slides into both sides of the inner wall of the electric fireplace body 1. The right end of the locking block 31 has a sliding surface 35. The two sides of the charcoal mold 4 have slots 32. When fixing the charcoal mold 4, the charcoal mold 4 is manually dragged to contact the sliding surface 35, causing the locking block 31 to retract into the electric fireplace body 1, thus compressing the elastic mechanism. After the charcoal mold 4 is completely locked into the inner wall of the electric fireplace body 1, the elastic mechanism resets, causing the locking block 31 to engage in the slot 32. The electric fireplace body 1 is fixed in place. A spring 33 is fixedly connected to the left end of the locking block 31, and the other end of the spring 33 is fixed to the electric fireplace body 1. The charcoal mold 4 is manually dragged to make it contact the sliding surface 35, so that the locking block 31 is retracted into the electric fireplace body 1, and the spring 33 is compressed. After the charcoal mold 4 is completely locked into the inner wall of the electric fireplace body 1, the spring 33 returns to its original position, so that the locking block 31 is locked into the slot 32, thereby fixing the electric fireplace body 1. A transparent glass can be installed on the front of the electric fireplace body 1. A pull rope 34 is fixedly connected to the left end of the locking block 31. The pull rope 34 passes through the electric fireplace body 1. Pulling the pull rope 34 makes the locking block 31 retract into the electric fireplace body 1, and then the charcoal mold 4 is dragged to disassemble it.
[0031] Working principle:
[0032] When using the electric fireplace structure, the motor is started by the controller. The motor is connected to the rotating shaft 21 via a reducer and coupling, causing the rotating shaft 21 to rotate. This causes the reflector to rotate, reflecting the light emitted by the RGB light strip 24 onto the PP board 5. The PP board 5 refracts the light to create a simulated flame effect. On the other hand, the fireplace body 1 (the fireplace model LYS-602 can be selected) converts electrical energy into heat energy through heating elements such as resistance wires and ceramic heaters. This heat is then diffused with the help of a fan or infrared radiation, providing localized or whole-house heating for small to medium-sized spaces. When different flame shapes need to be switched, the motor (model 1.5KW can be selected) is started by the controller. The motor is connected to the rotating shaft 21 via a reducer and coupling, causing the rotating shaft 21 to rotate. This rotation is driven by the sprocket 251 and chain 252, causing the two rotating shafts 21 to rotate. This causes the first reflector 22 and the second reflector 23 to rotate accordingly, and the RGB light strip 24 is turned on. The first reflector 22 is blocked by the blocking mechanism 26, so that the second reflector 23 is reflected onto the PP plate 5. Then the second reflector 23 is blocked, so that the first reflector 22 is reflected onto the PP plate 5. This achieves the effect of changing the flame shape as much as possible and increasing the user's viewing experience. The operating lever 263 is manually dragged so that the U-shaped blocking cover 261 moves to the second reflector 23 within the U-shaped hole 262 to block the second reflector 23. When fixing the charcoal mold 4, the charcoal mold 4 is manually dragged so that it contacts the sliding surface 35, so that the locking block 31 retracts into the electric fireplace body 1, and the spring 33 is compressed. After the charcoal mold 4 is completely locked into the inner wall of the electric fireplace body 1, the spring 33 returns to its original position, so that the locking block 31 is locked into the slot 32, thereby fixing the electric fireplace body 1. A transparent glass can be installed on the front of the electric fireplace body 1. Pulling the pull rope 34 makes the locking block 31 retract into the electric fireplace body 1, and then the charcoal mold 4 is dragged to disassemble it.
