Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heater technology, specifically relating to a 3D flame structure for an oil-filled radiator. Background Technology

[0002] Oil-filled radiators are a type of portable heating device widely used in indoor settings. Their core function is to heat the heat-conducting oil inside the radiator box through the heating element, and then use the heat convection of the heat-conducting oil and the heat exchange of the radiator box fins to raise the temperature of the indoor air, thus meeting the basic heating needs of users. They have a high application rate in indoor spaces such as homes and offices.

[0003] However, current oil-filled radiator products on the market focus solely on the single function of heating, without incorporating any structure that can simulate the visual effect of flames. This results in relatively limited product functionality, offering only the practical value of temperature enhancement without creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere through the visual presentation of dynamic flames. Consequently, they fail to meet the modern user demand for a combination of functionality, experience, and aesthetics in home appliances. In particular, the user experience of existing oil-filled radiator products is significantly lacking in winter and other usage scenarios where a warm atmosphere needs to be enhanced. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a 3D flame structure for oil-filled radiators to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a 3D flame structure for an oil-filled radiator, comprising a heating component, a 3D flame projection component, and a support and connection component; the heating component comprises an oil-filled radiator housing, a heating element, and a snap-on thermostat, wherein the heating element is installed inside the oil-filled radiator housing to provide a heat source, and the snap-on thermostat is installed on the oil-filled radiator housing for temperature control;

[0006] The 3D flame projection component includes a flame support, a light panel, and a reflector. A mask is connected to one side of the oil heater housing, and the flame support is installed inside the mask. The light panel is installed at the bottom of the flame support. A flame plate is provided inside the flame support and at the top of the light panel. A drive motor is connected to the flame support through a motor bracket. Light emitted through the light panel is dynamically refracted by the reflector and projected onto the textured translucent flame plate to form a 3D flame effect that jumps up and down and sways left and right.

[0007] Preferably, the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a reflector fixing post. The reflector is disposed between the flame plate and the lamp plate and is fixedly sleeved on one end of the reflector fixing post. Through the connection between the output shaft of the drive motor and the reflector fixing post, and the fixing of the reflector at a specific position, it is ensured that the reflector can rotate precisely with the drive motor, providing stable structural support for the dynamic refraction of light and ensuring the dynamic nature of the 3D flame effect.

[0008] Preferably, the support connection assembly includes feet, casters, and a handle. The feet are provided in two sets and are respectively fixed to both ends of the bottom of the oil heater housing. The casters are provided in several sets and are rotatably connected to the bottom of the feet. The handle is connected to the top of the oil heater housing. The two sets of feet provide stable bottom support for the oil heater housing, the casters enable flexible movement of the equipment, and the handle facilitates the user to carry the equipment, thereby improving the portability and flexibility of the 3D flame structure of the oil heater.

[0009] Preferably, a PCB bracket is connected to the top of the mask, and a control board is installed inside the PCB bracket. The control board is electrically connected to the heating element, the snap-on temperature controller, the lamp board, and the drive motor. The control board is fixed by the PCB bracket. Through the electrical connection between the control board and each core component, centralized control of heating of the heating element, temperature control of the snap-on temperature controller, illumination of the lamp board, and operation of the drive motor is realized, ensuring the orderly operation of the overall structure.

[0010] Preferably, a warning sign is screwed to the top of the mask, and a high-transmittance PC panel is screwed to the front of the mask. The warning sign serves as a safety warning to the user, while the high-transmittance PC panel prevents dust from entering the flame assembly while ensuring that the 3D flame effect is clearly visible, thus balancing safety and visual appeal.

[0011] Preferably, the handle has a decorative panel inside and a handle cover is attached to the front end of the handle by a locking block. The decorative panel enhances the aesthetics of the handle, and the handle cover protects the internal structure of the handle, extends the service life of the handle, and ensures the integrity of the handle's appearance.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] (1) This structure integrates the design of “heating components + 3D flame projection components”, which not only retains the core advantages of oil radiator heating, relying on the heating tube to heat the heat transfer oil and the oil radiator box heat exchanger to achieve stable heat convection heating, meeting the basic heating needs of home, office and other scenarios, but also adds dynamic 3D flame visual effects. Through the light panel, the reflector dynamically refracts and the semi-transparent textured flame panel imaging, it simulates the real flame shape of “jumping up and down and swaying left and right”, filling the gap of traditional oil radiators that “can only raise the temperature and have no atmosphere creation”, especially suitable for the needs of indoor heat preservation and cozy scene in winter, realizing the dual value of “practical heating + emotional experience”.

[0014] (2) In the heating components, the snap-on thermostat forms a closed-loop control with the heating element and the oil radiator housing: when the temperature of the oil radiator housing exceeds the set threshold due to the heating of the heat transfer oil, the snap-on thermostat will automatically trigger the power-off to avoid overheating damage; when the temperature drops to a safe range, the thermostat resets the conduction circuit to ensure that the heating element provides continuous and stable heating. This design not only prevents the safety hazards caused by temperature runaway, but also avoids the performance degradation caused by excessive heating of the heat transfer oil, extends the service life of the product, and ensures that the indoor temperature is maintained in a comfortable range, avoiding sudden changes in temperature.

[0015] (3) The 3D flame projection component achieves dynamic and realistic flame effects through the linkage design of "drive motor + reflector + textured semi-transparent flame plate": the drive motor can precisely control the speed, drive the reflector fixing column and reflector to rotate at a constant speed, so that the light emitted by the lamp plate forms "dynamic angle change" when refracted by the reflector, and then projects onto the texture of the flame plate to simulate the trajectory of the flame jumping naturally.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "equipped with", "sleeved with", "connected", etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The oil-filled radiator 3D flame structure shown includes a heating component for achieving stable heating, a 3D flame projection component for simulating dynamic flame visual effects, and a support connection component for supporting, moving, and transporting the equipment.

[0024] The heating assembly includes an oil-filled radiator housing 1 for containing heat-conducting oil and exchanging heat through fins, a heating element 2 for providing a heat source to the heat-conducting oil, and a snap-on thermostat 3 for real-time monitoring of the oil-filled radiator housing temperature and overheat protection. The snap-on thermostat 3 has a rated voltage of 250V and a rated current of 16A that it can withstand continuously. The heating element 2 is installed inside the oil-filled radiator housing 1 and can directly heat the heat-conducting oil inside the housing to form heat convection. The snap-on thermostat 3 is installed on the outer surface of the oil-filled radiator housing 1 at a location where the temperature is easily sensed. It is used to automatically cut off the power supply to the heating element 2 when the temperature of the oil-filled radiator housing 1 exceeds a preset safety threshold and reset the conduction when the temperature drops to a safe range, thereby realizing closed-loop temperature control during the heating process.

[0025] The 3D flame projection assembly includes a flame support 4 for supporting the flame simulation components, a lamp plate 5 for providing basic light for flame imaging, and a reflector 6 for dynamically refracting light to form a flame jumping trajectory. The reflector 6 is model KSD301-G, and its rated current allowed to continuously pass through is "16A". A face shield 7, made of SPCD material and 0.5mm thick, is detachably connected to one side of the oil heater housing 1 to protect the projection assembly without obstructing the flame light. The flame support 4 is fixedly installed inside the cavity of the face shield 7, and the lamp plate 5 is installed inside the bottom of the flame support 4. It can emit uniform and stable light. Inside the flame support 4 and at the top of the lamp plate 5, there is a textured translucent flame plate 9 for converting dynamic light into the visual form of flame. Inside the flame support 4, a drive motor 8 for driving the dynamic rotation of the reflector 6 is fixedly connected through the motor support 20. The rated working voltage is 12V. The light emitted through the lamp plate 5 is refracted by the drive motor 8 driving the reflector 6 to achieve dynamic angle changes, and then the light is projected onto the textured translucent flame plate 9 to form a 3D flame effect that conforms to the characteristics of natural flames "jumping up and down and swaying left and right".

[0026] The supporting connection component works in conjunction with the oil heater housing 1 and the cover 7 to ensure the overall structural stability of the equipment, while also taking into account the heat dissipation requirements of the heating component and the imaging requirements of the 3D flame projection component.

[0027] The output shaft of the drive motor 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to a reflector fixing post 10 for fixing the reflector 6 and transmitting the driving force of the motor. The reflector 6 is located on the light propagation path between the flame plate 9 and the lamp plate 5, and is fixedly sleeved on one end of the reflector fixing post 10 by interference fit or fasteners.

[0028] The reflector fixing post 10 can rotate synchronously with the output shaft of the drive motor 8, ensuring that the rotation angle of the reflector 6 is precisely matched with the motor speed, avoiding the reflector 6 from shifting or loosening during rotation, thereby ensuring the stable change of the light refraction angle, making the light trajectory projected onto the flame plate 9 continuous and natural, and preventing the 3D flame effect from being stuttered or distorted.

[0029] The support connection assembly includes a foot plate 11 for distributing the weight of the equipment and providing a mounting base for the casters, casters 12 for enabling flexible movement of the equipment, and a handle 13 for facilitating user handling of the equipment.

[0030] The foot plates 11 are provided in two sets and are respectively fixed to the bottom ends of the oil heater box 1 by welding or screws. They can bear the overall weight of the oil heater box 1 and the internal heat transfer oil, and prevent the bottom of the oil heater box 1 from directly contacting the ground, which would cause wear or obstruction of heat dissipation. The casters 12 are provided in several sets and are all rotatably connected to the bottom of the foot plates 11 through a pivot. They can reduce the frictional resistance between the equipment and the ground when the equipment is moved, and allow the equipment to be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of the indoor scene. The casters 12 also have a certain load-bearing capacity to ensure that the equipment does not deform during the movement.

[0031] The handle 13 is connected to the top center of the oil heater housing 1 by screws or buckles, providing a stable grip structure for the user when the equipment needs to cross steps or move without casters. The installation position of the handle 13 matches the center of gravity of the oil heater housing 1, preventing the equipment from tilting during transportation, which could cause the heat transfer oil to slosh or damage to components.

[0032] The top of the mask 7 is connected to a PCB bracket 14 for fixing the control board 15 by screws or clips. Both the PCB bracket 14 and the flame bracket 4 are made of flame-retardant PP material. The PCB bracket 14 contains a control board 15 for coordinating the work of various components. The control board 15 is suitable for AC power supply with voltage of 110-240V and frequency of 50 / 60Hz. The control board 15 is electrically connected to the heating tube 2, the snap-on temperature controller 3, the lamp board 5 and the drive motor 8 through wires.

[0033] The PCB bracket 14 can provide a stable installation space for the control board 15, preventing the control board 15 from shifting or the solder joints from falling off due to vibration during equipment operation, while also isolating the control board 15 from external dust and moisture.

[0034] The control board 15 can receive external control commands (such as heating switch, temperature adjustment, flame switch), output an appropriate current to the heating tube 2 to control the heating intensity, receive the temperature signal fed back by the sudden temperature controller 3 and trigger overheat power-off protection, output current to the lamp board 5 to adjust the brightness of the light, and output a drive signal to the drive motor 8 to control the motor speed, thereby realizing the orderly coordination of the heating function and the 3D flame function and avoiding electrical interference or action conflict between the components.

[0035] The top of the face shield 7 is detachably screwed with a warning sign 16 for marking the safe use of the equipment. The warning sign 16 can clearly remind users of safety precautions such as "Do not cover the heat sink", "Keep children away from high temperature areas", and "Do not use in humid environments". The screw connection method ensures that the sign 16 will not fall off during long-term use of the equipment, avoiding risks caused by users ignoring safety reminders.

[0036] The front end of the mask 7 is detachably screwed to a high-transmittance PC material panel 19, which protects the projection components and ensures clear transmission of flame light. The PC panel 19 has excellent temperature resistance and impact resistance, and can prevent external dust and foreign objects from entering the flame bracket 4 and damaging components such as the lamp plate 5 and reflector 6. At the same time, its high light transmittance characteristics ensure that the 3D flame effect formed by the flame plate 9 has no significant light attenuation, ensuring that users can clearly observe the natural flame shape from different viewing angles. The screw connection method facilitates the later disassembly of the panel 19 for maintenance or replacement of the internal projection components.

[0037] The handle 13 is provided with a decorative panel 17 to enhance the aesthetics of the handle and fill the internal gaps. The decorative panel 17 can cover the internal installation structure of the handle 13, such as screw holes and wire pre-reserved grooves, so that the appearance of the handle 13 matches the overall style of the oil heater, while preventing dust from accumulating inside the handle 13.

[0038] The front end of the handle 13 is detachably attached to a handle cover 18 for covering the front end mounting structure of the handle via a locking block. The locking block connection method allows for the installation and removal of the handle cover 18 without tools, making it convenient for users to periodically remove the handle cover 18 to clean the decorative panel 17. The locking structure also has sufficient connection strength to ensure that the handle cover 18 does not loosen or fall off when the user moves the equipment, thus ensuring the grip stability of the handle 13. The handle 13, decorative panel 17, and handle cover 18 are all made of ABS material.

[0039] The 3D flame structure of this oil-filled radiator allows the control board 15 to output current to the heating element 2 when the power is turned on. The heating element 2 then starts and releases heat, which is directly transferred to the heat-conducting oil inside the oil-filled radiator housing 1. This causes the heat-conducting oil to heat up rapidly to the set temperature (usually the convection critical temperature of the heat-conducting oil). After heating up, the heat-conducting oil becomes less dense and flows upward along the gaps between the heat sinks inside the oil-filled radiator housing 1. During this process, it exchanges heat with the heat sinks and transfers the heat to the surface of the heat sinks. The heat sinks then diffuse the heat into the indoor air through thermal radiation and thermal convection, thereby raising the indoor temperature.

[0040] As the surface temperature of the oil heater housing 1 continues to rise with the circulation of the heat transfer oil, when the temperature reaches the preset upper limit of the snap-action thermostat 3 (e.g., 85°C), the bimetallic strip inside the snap-action thermostat 3 deforms due to the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics, triggering the contact to open and cutting off the power supply circuit of the heating element 2. The heating element 2 stops heating. When the indoor temperature drops and the temperature of the oil heater housing 1 falls below the preset lower limit (e.g., 60°C), the bimetallic strip resets, the contact closes, and the heating element 2 is powered on again to heat. This cycle ensures that the indoor temperature remains stable within a comfortable range while preventing the equipment from overheating.

[0041] When the user activates the flame function via an external controller, the control board 15 outputs current to the lamp board 5, causing the lamp board 5 (with built-in LED beads) to emit uniform light. Simultaneously, the control board 15 sends a drive signal to the drive motor 8. The drive motor 8 is fixed within the flame support 4 via the motor bracket 20, and its output shaft drives the reflector fixing post 10 to rotate at a uniform speed (the speed can be preset via the control board 15 to ensure a natural flame flicker frequency). The reflector 6 is fixedly fitted onto one end of the reflector fixing post 10 and is located between the lamp board 5 and the flame plate 9. As the fixing post rotates, the angle of the cylindrical reflector 6 changes in real time, causing the lamp board 5 to emit uniform light. When the emitted light is refracted by the reflector 6, it forms a "multi-angle, dynamic" light trajectory. The dynamically refracted light is projected onto the translucent flame plate 9 inside the flame support 4. The texture on the surface of the flame plate 9 (such as the concave and convex structure that simulates flame patterns) produces diffuse reflection and transmission of light, transforming the dynamic light into a visual form of "jumping up and down and swaying left and right". The high-transmittance PC panel 19 is provided at the front end of the outer cover 7 of the flame plate 9. This panel 19 not only prevents dust from entering the flame assembly, but also ensures that the flame image is clearly transmitted without significant light attenuation, ultimately presenting a realistic 3D flame effect in the user's view.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
