Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an electric fireplace, and more particularly to an embedded multi-purpose electric fireplace. Background Technology
[0002] Electric fireplaces are increasingly becoming a common household appliance, but existing electric fireplace products have relatively limited functions, mainly used for heating. Speakers are also frequently used household appliances for playing music. Since both electric fireplaces and speakers are installed in the living room, to avoid cramped living room spaces and messy wiring, electric fireplaces that integrate speakers have appeared on the market (Patent No.: 201520209036 - Electric Fireplace).
[0003] However, the speaker of the electric fireplace is directly exposed, which disrupts the overall flatness of the fireplace and reduces its aesthetic appeal. Moreover, the above structure does not take into account how to increase the volume of the speaker. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an embedded multi-purpose electric fireplace.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0006] An embedded multi-purpose electric fireplace includes a fireplace housing and a horn disposed within the fireplace housing. The fireplace housing is characterized by having a sound guide hopper installed inside the fireplace housing, the funnel opening of the sound guide hopper facing outward through the fireplace opening of the fireplace housing, the horn being installed at the bottom of the sound guide hopper, and the funnel opening being sealed by an iron mesh.
[0007] The bottom surface of the sound guide is provided with a wire hole, through which the wire of the speaker passes, and the wire is provided with a plug-in terminal.
[0008] The bottom surface of the sound guide is provided with a connecting screw hole, and the connecting screw passes through the connecting through hole on the speaker and connects to the connecting screw hole.
[0009] The sound guide is frustum-shaped, and the cross-sectional profile of the sound guide is rectangular.
[0010] It also includes a speaker housing, wherein the sound guide hopper is located in and fixed to the speaker housing, and the funnel opening of the sound guide hopper is level with the furnace opening of the furnace housing.
[0011] The furnace shell includes an electronic display screen, a glass plate, and an inner frame. The electronic display screen and the glass plate are fixed to the inner frame. The inner frame includes inner side plates arranged opposite each other. The speaker shell is arranged opposite each other on both sides of the electronic display screen. One side of the speaker shell is attached to the edge of the electronic display screen and the glass plate, and the other side of the speaker shell is fixed to the inner side plate.
[0012] The funnel opening of the sound guide is provided with a first folded edge, and the opening of the speaker housing is provided with a second folded edge that can overlap with the first folded edge. The first folded edge and the second folded edge are connected by screws.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: a sound guide hopper is installed inside the furnace shell of this utility model. The funnel opening of the sound guide hopper faces the outside through the furnace opening of the furnace shell. The horn is installed at the bottom of the sound guide hopper. The funnel opening is sealed by iron mesh, so the horn is hidden inside the furnace shell and will not be exposed, making the electric fireplace appear flat and beautiful. Moreover, the sound emitted by the horn is concentrated by the sound guide hopper, which increases the volume of the sound. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model discloses an embedded multi-purpose electric fireplace, including a fireplace shell 1 and a speaker 2 disposed within the fireplace shell 1. A sound guide hopper 3 is installed inside the fireplace shell 1, with its funnel opening 4 facing outwards through the fireplace opening 5 of the fireplace shell 1. The speaker 2 is installed at the bottom of the sound guide hopper 3, and the funnel opening 4 is sealed by an iron mesh 6, which can be fixedly connected to the sound guide hopper 3 with screws. In this structure, the speaker 2 is hidden inside the fireplace shell 1 and not exposed, making the electric fireplace appear flat and aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, the sound emitted by the speaker 2 is concentrated by the sound guide hopper 3 and then transmitted through the funnel opening 4, enhancing the sound volume. Since users are generally far from the electric fireplace, the speaker volume cannot be too low. However, due to the limited space inside the electric fireplace, a slightly smaller speaker is preferred, and its volume is enhanced by the above method.
[0027] The speaker 2 of this structure connects to the user's mobile phone via Bluetooth to control playback. This method is existing technology and not an improvement of this application, so it will not be described in detail. As a specific structure, the sound guide 3 is a frustum-shaped cylinder, and the cross-sectional profile of the sound guide 3 is rectangular, thus forming a structure with a large funnel opening 4 and a small bottom.
[0028] Of course, for ease of installation, the bottom surface of the sound guide hopper 3 is provided with a wire hole 7, through which the wire of the speaker 2 passes, and the wire is provided with a plug-in terminal (not shown in the figure). The wire includes a power line and a signal line. Of course, the control circuit board inside the furnace is provided with a corresponding socket (not shown in the figure). The plug-in terminal and the socket are plugged in to realize the connection of power and signal. The plug-in terminal and the socket are also common components on the market, so the specific structure is not described in detail.
[0029] Of course, the bottom surface of the sound guide hopper 3 is provided with a connecting screw hole 8. The connecting screw passes through the connecting through hole on the speaker 2 and connects with the connecting screw hole 8. The above structure facilitates the installation and maintenance of the speaker 2. We only need to remove the iron mesh 6, and then enter through the funnel opening 4 of the sound guide hopper 3 to remove the connecting screw. After pulling out the speaker 2, we can replace the speaker 2 by inserting our hand through the wire hole 7 and pulling out the plug terminal. Because the electric fireplace of this application is embedded, the entire electric fireplace is embedded in the wall, so the disassembly of the electric fireplace is very difficult. With the above structural design, we only need to operate from the direction of the fireplace opening 5 to replace the speaker 2, which is very convenient.
[0030] As shown in the figure, the funnel opening 4 of the sound guide 3 is flush with the furnace opening 5 of the furnace shell 1, which is aesthetically pleasing. However, the shape of the sound guide 3 is not a regular square. To achieve the flush alignment of the funnel opening 4 of the sound guide 3 with the furnace opening 5 of the furnace shell 1, many gaps are likely to be created when the sound guide 3 is installed inside the furnace shell 1. This causes hot air blown from the air outlet 15 on the top surface of the furnace shell 1 to blow onto the speaker 2, resulting in overheating and reducing its service life. Therefore, a speaker shell 9 is added. The sound guide 3 is located in and fixed to the speaker shell 9. The speaker shell 9 is preferably made of stainless steel sheet bent and welded. The speaker shell 9 is a regular cuboid that runs through the front and back. The speaker shell 9 can avoid many gaps during installation. Moreover, an air gap is formed between the speaker shell 9 and the sound guide 3, which is more conducive to heat conduction and avoids the impact of hot air on the speaker 2.
[0031] Specifically, the furnace shell 1 includes an electronic display screen 10, a glass plate 11, and an inner frame 12. The electronic display screen 10 and the glass plate 11 are fixed to the inner frame 12. The inner frame 12 includes opposing inner side plates 121. The above structure is an existing structure, which has been disclosed by the applicant in patent application No. 2024201358376, entitled "A High-Simulation Fireplace with Concealed Air Vent." Therefore, its specific structure and installation are not described in detail. In this application, the inner frame 12 is a square frame, and the speaker shell 9 is located in the inner frame 1. In section 2, the speaker housing 9 is disposed opposite to both sides of the electronic display screen 10. One side of the speaker housing 9 is attached to the edge of the electronic display screen 10 and the glass plate 11, and the other side of the speaker housing 9 is fixedly attached to the inner side plate 121. The top surface of the speaker housing 9 is connected to the top plate of the inner frame 12, and the bottom surface of the speaker housing 9 is connected to the bottom plate of the inner frame 12. Thus, there are no gaps around the speaker housing 9, which perfectly matches the furnace shell 1, the electronic display screen 10, and the glass plate 11. This not only makes it aesthetically pleasing but also prevents hot air from blowing in.
[0032] Specifically, the funnel opening 4 of the sound guide 3 is provided with a first folded edge 13, and the opening of the speaker housing 9 is provided with a second folded edge 14 that can overlap with the first folded edge 13. The first folded edge 13 and the second folded edge 14 are connected by screws. The above structure is simple and easy to process. The iron mesh 6 is fixed on the first folded edge 13.
[0033] The above provides a detailed description of an embedded multi-purpose electric fireplace provided by the embodiments of this utility model. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
