A vaporization pipe and a heater of the smoke generating device are fixed on a mounting frame. An operation panel and a socket assembly are further fixed on the mounting frame. The mounting frame is constructed to be spaced apart from the housing, so that the vaporization pipe, the heater, the operation panel, and the socket assembly are less likely to be damaged when the smoke generator is subjected to pressure.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a smoke machine, and more particularly to a design in which the housing and all components of the smoke machine are integrated into one unit. During the transportation of the smoke machine when it is not in use, each component is protected by the housing and is not easily damaged by collision. Background Technology

[0002] Smoke machines can spray smoke into a space to create a fogging effect. Since smoke machines are often used on mobile stages, they often need to be transported as the performance venue changes. Although smoke machines are generally equipped with an outer shell to protect the internal components, the shells of conventional smoke machines often have irregular protrusions or exposed parts. This means that when the conventional smoke machine is not in use and is stored, the parts cannot be completely stored inside the shell. As a result, the exposed parts on the outside of the conventional smoke machine are more likely to be damaged by collisions during handling or transportation. In addition, irregular protrusions or exposed parts also make the storage of the smoke machine less convenient.

[0003] Therefore, in order to achieve quick storage and damage protection during transportation, conventional equipment is usually packed into a standard wooden flight case. This practice adds an extra costly flight case. Utility Model Content

The connecting frame 88 further includes an opening 92 spaced apart from the mating interface 90 and communicating with the output port 80. The mounting bracket 78 also includes two symmetrically formed engaging slots 79 on both sides. An operation panel 84 and a socket group 86 composed of a plurality of sockets of the same and / or different shapes are fixed on the mounting bracket 78. The socket group 86 may, but is not limited to, be used for electrical connection with an external power supply, controller, and / or another smoke machine.

[0060] The mounting bracket 78 is housed within the housing 16 and extends from the first space 74 to the second space 76. The mounting bracket 78 is located between the locking portion 73 of the front sidewall 56 and the first partition wall 72. The mounting bracket 78 is screwed into the locking portion 73. The two engaging slots 79 are fitted into the two recesses 57. The mounting bracket 78 maintains one side against the inner side of the front sidewall 56 and the other four sides are separated from the first sidewall 62, the second sidewall 66, the upper sidewall 70, and the bottom sidewall 60. In addition, the output port 80 is aligned with and communicates with the first space 74, the adding port 82 is aligned with and communicates with the second space 76, the operation panel 84 and the socket assembly 86 are located within the front opening 58, and the connecting frame 88 is located within the first space 74.

[0061] A flow guide shroud 94 is fixed within the output port 80 of the mounting bracket 78 and within the connecting frame 88. The flow guide shroud 94 is divided into a plurality of channels with a rectangular longitudinal cross section.

[0062] The mounting bracket 78 is further pivotally connected to a guide 111, which includes two pivot portions 113 that are pivotally connected to the mounting bracket 78 and aligned with the output port 80. The guide 111 allows pivoting to be fully retracted into the output port 80 or pivoting to extend to the outside of the output port 80.

[0063] The housing 16 is further integrated with an isolation cover 115, which may, but is not limited to, be a shell-like structure. The isolation cover 115 includes a notch 117 formed on one side. The isolation cover 115 is fixed to the first side wall 62 and the bottom side wall 60 and aligned with the vent 64. The notch 117 of the isolation cover 115 is aligned with the interface 90 of the connecting frame 88. The vent 64 communicates with the interior of the isolation cover 115.

[0064] The housing 16 contains a smoke generating device 18, which includes a fan 119, an air pump 135, a storage tank 137, a heater 96, a delivery pump 136, and a vaporization pipe 98. The fan 119 includes an outlet end 131 and an inlet end 131A spaced apart from the outlet end 131. The fan 119 is fixed to the isolation cover 115, and the outlet end 131 is sleeved with the notch 117 and extends out of the outer side of the isolation cover 115 (the fan 119 is located in the first space 74). The inlet end 131A of the fan 119 is located inside the isolation cover 115 and faces the vent 64. The inner vent cover 65A and the outer vent cover 65 are separated from the fan 119 by a distance, so that moisture (e.g., rainwater) outside the housing 16 is not easily exposed to the fan 119 through the outer vent cover 65 and the inner vent cover 65A. In addition, the isolation cover 115 separates the outlet end 131 and the inlet end 131A of the fan 119, so that the airflow can be smoother when the fan 119 is operating.

[0065] Furthermore, the outlet end 131 is also connected to the interface 90 of the connecting frame 88. Therefore, when the fan 119 is running, it draws in air from the vent 64 and the outer vent cover 65 and blows out airflow from the outlet end 131. The airflow generated by the fan 119 is evenly diffused after passing through the guide shroud 94 and moves toward the output port 80 and the outside of the front opening 58.

[0066] The air pump 135 and the delivery pump 136 are fixed to the bottom sidewall 60 and located within the first space 74. The air pump 135 and the delivery pump 136 are also substantially located between the first partition wall 72 and the isolation cover 115. The storage tank 137 is housed within the second space 76. The storage tank 137 includes a locking cover 137A aligned with the addition port 82 and the front opening 58. One end of the delivery pump 136 is connected in communication with the storage tank 137. After the locking cover 137A of the storage tank 137 is removed, it allows the addition of vapor liquid into the storage tank 137. When the locking cover 137A is locked, the vapor liquid in the storage tank 137 is not easily leaked out.

[0067] The heater 96 is fixed to the outside of the connecting frame 88, and the vaporization tube 98 is attached to the outer periphery of the heater 96. For example, the vaporization tube 98 may be spirally wound around the outer surface of the heater 96, such that when the heater 96 operates and heats up, the vaporization tube 98 is heated by the heater 96 and its temperature is increased. One end of the vaporization tube 98 is connected in communication with the delivery pump 136. The air pump 135 is connected to the pipeline between the delivery pump 136 and the vaporization tube 98 to increase the pressure inside the vaporization tube 98. An outlet end 99 of the vaporization tube 98 passes through the opening 92 of the connecting frame 88 and is aligned with the output port 80.

[0068] The smoke machine 10 also includes a front cover 139 detachably coupled to the housing 16. The front cover 139 conforms to the shape of the front opening 58 and is slightly smaller than the front opening 58. The front cover 139 is provided with two fastening components 151 corresponding to the two fixing hooks 59. The front cover 139 allows to be coupled to or separated from the housing 16. When the front cover 139 is coupled to the housing 16, the two fastening components 151 engage with the two fixing hooks 59, so that the front cover 139 is fixed to the housing 16 and closes the front opening 58 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown), after the two fastening components 151 are separated from the two fixing hooks 59, the front cover 139 can be separated from the front sidewall 56 of the housing 16, so that the front opening 58 will not be closed (as shown). Figure 9 (As shown).

[0069] The smoke machine 10 further includes a side cover 66C detachably coupled to the second side wall 66 of the housing 16. When the side cover 66C is coupled to the second side wall 66, the side opening 66A is closed, preventing the third space 66B from being exposed. When the side cover 66C is separated from the second side wall 66, the third space 66B is exposed. The third space 66B is used to accommodate at least one wire 66D, which can be detachably coupled to the socket assembly 86. Through the at least one wire 66D, a plurality of smoke machines 10 can be electrically connected and / or used to be electrically connected to a power supply terminal to provide the power required for the operation of the smoke machine 10.

[0070] The smoke machine 10 of this utility model further includes a first support frame 12, a second support frame 14, and four longitudinal connecting members 50 disposed on the outside of the housing 16. The first support frame 12 includes four lower connecting members 20 and four lower connecting members 30. Each lower connecting member 20 includes a first connecting end 22 extending in a first direction (e.g., depth direction), a second connecting end 24 extending in a second direction (e.g., width direction), and a third connecting end 26 extending in a third direction (e.g., height direction). The first connecting end 22, the second connecting end 24, and the third connecting end 26 may, but are not limited to, be perpendicular to each other. Each lower connecting member 20 also includes a downwardly extending support leg 28.

[0071] Each of the lower connecting members 30 includes two tail ends 32 and a plurality of lower connecting holes 34 distributed between the two tail ends 32. The length of each lower connecting member 30 is matched with the length of the housing 16 in the first direction (e.g., depth) and the second direction (e.g., width). For example, the housing 16 in the cuboid shape shown in the figure of this utility model means that the length of the two lower connecting members 30 in the first direction is less than the length of the two lower connecting members 30 in the second direction. The lengths of the two lower connecting members 30 in the first direction are equal and the lengths of the two lower connecting members 30 in the second direction are equal.

[0072] Each of the tail ends 32 of each of the lower connecting members 30 is fixedly connected to the first connecting ends 22 of two adjacent lower connecting members 20 or the second connecting ends 24 of two adjacent lower connecting members 20. Specifically, after one tail end 32 of each of the two lower connecting members 30 in the first direction is fixedly connected to the first connecting end 22 of one lower connecting member 20, the other tail end 32 of each of the two lower connecting members 30 in the first direction is fixedly connected to the first connecting end 22 of the other lower connecting member 20. After one tail end 32 of each of the two lower connecting members 30 in the second direction is fixedly connected to the second connecting end 24 of one lower connecting member 20, the other tail end 32 of each of the two lower connecting members 30 in the second direction is fixedly connected to the second connecting end 24 of the other lower connecting member 20. Thus, the four lower connecting members 20 and the four lower connecting members 30 form a rectangular first support frame 12.

[0073] The first support frame 12 is fixed to the bottom of the box 16. Each of the support feet 28 supports the bottom sidewall 60 of the box 16 and separates it from the ground. Taking the embodiment shown in the figure of this utility model as an example, the first support frame 12 is attached to the bottom sidewall 60. The first support frame 12 is also attached to the bottom end of the front sidewall 56, the rear sidewall 68, the first sidewall 62 and the second sidewall 66. Each of the lower connecting holes 34 of each of the lower connecting parts 30 is fitted with the corresponding positioning post 17. Each of the lower connecting parts 20, each of the lower connecting parts 30, the bottom sidewall 60, the front sidewall 56, the rear sidewall 68, the first sidewall 62 and the second sidewall 66 can be locked by a plurality of screws. All components of the first support frame 12 are located on the outside of the box 16. In other words, the first support frame 12 protrudes more from the outer peripheral surface of the box 16.

[0074] Each of the upper connectors 36 includes a first connector 38 extending in the first direction (e.g., the depth direction), a second connector 40 extending in the second direction (e.g., the width direction), and a third connector 42 extending in the third direction (e.g., the height direction). The first connector 38, the second connector 40, and the third connector 42 may, but are not limited to, be perpendicular to each other.

[0075] Each of the upper connecting members 44 includes two ends 48 and a plurality of upper connecting holes 46 distributed between the two ends 48. The length of each upper connecting member 44 is matched with the length of the housing 16 in the first direction (e.g., depth) and the second direction (e.g., width). For example, the housing 16 in the cuboid shape shown in the figure of this utility model means that the length of the two upper connecting members 44 in the first direction is less than the length of the two upper connecting members 44 in the second direction. The lengths of the two upper connecting members 44 in the first direction are equal and the lengths of the two upper connecting members 44 in the second direction are equal.

[0076] Each end 48 of each of the upper connecting members 44 is fixedly connected to the first connecting end 38 of the two adjacent upper connecting members 36 or to the second connecting end 40 of the two adjacent upper connecting members 36. Specifically, after one end 48 of each of the two upper connecting rods 44 in the first direction is fixedly connected to the first connecting end 38 of one upper connecting member 36, the other end 48 of each of the two upper connecting rods 44 in the second direction is fixedly connected to the first connecting end 38 of another upper connecting member 36. After one end 48 of each of the two upper connecting rods 44 in the second direction is fixedly connected to the second connecting end 40 of one upper connecting member 36, the other end 48 of each of the two upper connecting rods 44 in the second direction is fixedly connected to the second connecting end 24 of another upper connecting member 36. Thus, the four upper connecting members 36 and the four upper connecting members 44 form a rectangular second support frame 14.

[0077] The second support frame 14 is fixed to the top of the housing 16. Taking the embodiment shown in the attached drawings of this utility model as an example, the second support frame 14 is attached to the upper side wall 70. The second support frame 14 is also attached to the top of the front side wall 56, the rear side wall 68, the first side wall 62 and the second side wall 66. The upper connecting holes 46 of each upper connecting member 44 are fitted with the corresponding positioning pins 17. The upper connecting members 36, the upper connecting members 44, the upper side wall 70, the front side wall 56, the rear side wall 68, the first side wall 62 and the second side wall 66 can be locked by a plurality of screws. All components of the second support frame 14 are located on the outside of the housing 16. In other words, the second support frame 14 protrudes more from the outer periphery of the housing 16.

[0078] Four longitudinal connecting members 50 are provided between the first support frame 12 and the second support frame 14. Each longitudinal connecting member 50 includes two outer ends 52 and a plurality of longitudinal connecting holes 54 located between the two outer ends 52. The two outer ends 52 of each longitudinal connecting member 50 are fixedly connected to the third connecting end 42 of an upper connecting member 36 and the third engaging end 26 of a corresponding lower connecting member 20. Each longitudinal connecting hole 54 of each longitudinal connecting member 50 is fitted with a corresponding positioning post 17. The first of the four longitudinal connecting members 50 is adjacent to the front sidewall 56 and the first sidewall 62, the second of the four longitudinal connecting members 50 is adjacent to the front sidewall 56 and the second sidewall 66, the third of the four longitudinal connecting members 50 is adjacent to the rear sidewall 68 and the second sidewall 66, and the fourth of the four longitudinal connecting members 50 is adjacent to the rear sidewall 68 and the first sidewall 62.

[0079] The following describes the operation of this utility model, assuming that the smoke machine 10 is not in use. In this state, the front cover 139 is engaged with the front sidewall 56, and the guide member 111 is pivoted to a position where it does not protrude from the output port 80 (e.g., Figure 5 As shown, the front opening 58, the output port 80, and the addition port 82 are all closed.

[0080] In this state, the first support frame 12, the second support frame 14, and the four longitudinal connecting members 50 are located on the outside of the housing 16. If the housing 16 is compressed during transportation, the first support frame 12, the second support frame 14, and the four longitudinal connecting members 50 can support the pressure in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction. For example, when the smoke machine 10 is subjected to pressure along the third direction, the four longitudinal connecting members 50, together with the four upper connecting members 36 and the four lower connecting members 20, support the front side wall 56, the rear side wall 68, the first side wall 62, and the second side wall 66, which are not straight. When the smoke machine 10 is subjected to pressure in the third direction, or for example, when the smoke machine 10 is squeezed by an external force along the second direction, the two upper connecting parts 44, the four upper connecting parts 36, the two lower connecting parts 30, and the four lower connecting parts 20 support the front side wall 56 and the rear side wall 68 without directly bearing the pressure in the second direction. Or, for example, when the smoke machine 10 is squeezed by an external force along the first direction, the two upper connecting parts 44, the four upper connecting parts 36, the two lower connecting parts 30, and the four lower connecting parts 20 support the first side wall 62 and the second side wall 66 without directly bearing the pressure in the first direction.

[0081] When the smoke machine 10 is to be used, the two fastening components 151 are disengaged from the two retaining hooks 59, thereby separating the front cover 139 from the front sidewall 56. (See also...) Figures 9-10 As shown, the front opening 58, the output port 80, and the addition port 82 are all exposed. The guide 111 is pivoted to a position where one end protrudes from the output port 80 and the front opening 58. The user can electrically connect an external power supply terminal, controller, and / or signal line of another smoke machine to the socket group 86. The user can also use the operation panel 84 to control the operation of the smoke machine.

[0082] When the smoke generator 10 is in operation, the air pump 135 delivers the smoke liquid in the storage tank 137 to the vaporization tube 98. The heater 96 heats the vaporization tube 98 to a temperature that allows the smoke liquid to vaporize into smoke. The smoke is ejected from the outlet end 99. At the same time, the airflow generated by the fan 119 blows the smoke away from the outlet 80 and the front opening 58 and spreads it in space. In addition, adjusting the angle of the guide member 111 can control the height of the smoke being blown.

[0083] Assuming that the vapor liquid in the storage tank 137 needs to be replenished, with the front cover 139 separated from the front side wall 56, the locking cover 137A is located inside the filling port 82, thus allowing the locking cover 137A to be unscrewed to further add new vapor liquid into the storage tank 137.

[0084] As can be understood from the foregoing description of the technical features and operation, the smoke generator 10 of this utility model has at least the following advantages. For example, the first support frame 12 and the second support frame 14, together with each of the longitudinal connecting members 50, ensure that the smoke generator 10 has sufficient structural strength to protect the smoke generating device 18 from being damaged by compression during transportation.

[0085] The front cover 139 is detachably combined with the housing 16, allowing the smoke machine 10 to quickly close or open the front opening 58, the output port 80, and the filling port 82, providing excellent convenience in use. Furthermore, after the front cover 139 closes the front opening 58, the output port 80, and the filling port 82, it prevents foreign objects from entering the smoke machine 10 when it is not in use or during transportation, thereby extending the service life of the smoke machine.

[0086] The isolation cover 115 separates the inlet end 131A of the fan 119 from the first space 74. The isolation cover 115 further separates the inlet end 131A of the fan 119 from the outlet end 131, which can improve the efficiency of air convection when the fan 119 is running, and can more efficiently blow the smoke to the outside of the smoke machine 10.

[0087] The two recesses 57 of the front sidewall 56 cooperate with the two engaging slots 79 of the mounting bracket 78, which can help the mounting bracket 78 to be quickly positioned in the correct position when assembling the smoke machine 10, so that the outlet end 131 of the fan 119 can be accurately aligned with the interface 90, thereby improving the efficiency of assembling the smoke machine 10.

[0088] The mounting bracket 78 is only combined with the first partition wall 72 and is separated from the front cover 139, the first side wall 62, the second side wall 66, the rear side wall 68, the upper side wall 70 and the bottom side wall 60, so that the vaporization pipe 98, the heater 96, the operation panel 84 and the socket group 86 fixed on the mounting bracket 78 are less likely to be damaged when the smoke machine 10 is subjected to external impact or pressure.

[0089] The third space 66B provides at least one wire 66D for accommodating the operation of the smoke machine, making the storage and transportation of the smoke machine more convenient.

[0090] The inner vent cover 65A and the outer vent cover 65 are separated from the fan 119 by a distance, making it difficult for moisture (such as rainwater) outside the housing 16 to come into contact with the fan 119 through the outer vent cover 65 and the inner vent cover 65A. In addition, the isolation cover 115 separates the outlet end 131 and the inlet end 131A of the fan 119, allowing for smoother airflow when the fan 119 is operating.

[0091] The basic teachings of this invention have been described, and many extensions and variations will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, the smoke generator 10 may exclude the fan 119, the isolation cover 115, and the deflector 94; in such a state, the smoke generated by the vaporization tube 98 can still be ejected from the front opening 58 and the outlet 80.

[0092] Since the embodiments disclosed in this specification can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or general characteristics of this utility model, and some of these specific forms have been pointed out, the embodiments disclosed in the specification should be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting.
