Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light and water mist special effects technology, specifically to a device for creating a fire effect from mist. Background Technology

[0002] In stage performances, theme parks, and film shoots, the mist-fire effect, with its unique visual impact, effectively creates atmosphere and enhances immersion, making it popular with creators and audiences alike. However, current devices used to achieve this effect have several problems. Firstly, some devices have fragmented structures, with independent modules for water mist generation, gas delivery, and lighting effects. This not only occupies a large space but also makes the connections between modules complex, installation, and debugging difficult. Furthermore, inconsistencies in coordination during use can lead to low efficiency in effect generation, failing to meet the timeliness and continuity requirements of performances and other similar scenarios.

[0003] On the other hand, in terms of visual presentation, the lighting arrangement of existing devices is not reasonable enough. Most rely solely on a single-angle main light source to illuminate the water mist, failing to fully showcase the three-dimensionality of the mist and resulting in a flat lighting effect. This makes the realism of the mist-to-fire effect lacking and fails to deliver a stunning visual experience for the audience. Furthermore, in terms of structural design and maintenance, existing devices lack effective protection for internal components and reasonable water level control. Poor heat dissipation and dust protection in the water tank can easily affect the normal operation of internal components such as atomizers; unstable pressure control in the air circuit system poses safety hazards; and the device is inconvenient to maintain, difficult to disassemble and repair, increasing operating and time costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mist-to-fire effect device with optimized structure, integrated functions, excellent visual effects, and ease of operation and maintenance.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a fog-fire-generating special effect device, the device comprising:

[0025] The main frame 1 includes at least an upper frame 11 and a lower frame 12; wherein the main frame 1 is a shell structure that is closed on all four sides.

[0026] The upper frame 11 is equipped with a water tank 2 and a nozzle mounting bracket 4. The nozzle mounting bracket 4 and the water tank 2 are arranged side by side along the length direction, and the top of the nozzle mounting bracket 4 is located on the upper side of the water tank 2. The water tank 2 is equipped with an atomizer 22. The side wall of the water tank 2 near the nozzle mounting bracket 4 has a water mist outlet 20 for the water mist after atomization in the water tank 2 to enter the area of ​​the nozzle mounting bracket 4. The top of the nozzle mounting bracket 4 is equipped with a first mounting plate 41. The first mounting plate 41 has a number of first mounting holes arranged regularly. The first mounting holes are used to position and install nozzles 42. The surface of the first mounting plate 41 is equipped with a number of main light sources 43. The main light sources 43 and the nozzles 42 are arranged in an alternating pattern.

[0027] The lower frame 12 has an air tank 51 at its lower part and several air pipes 52 at its upper part. Each air pipe 52 is connected to the air tank 51, and the end of each air pipe 52 extends to the lower part of the first mounting plate 41 of the upper frame 11. The nozzle 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the air pipe 52 through the first mounting hole.

[0028] The control system controls the operation of the atomizer 22, the main light source 43, and the air duct 52. In this design, the atomizer 22 in the water tank 2 first converts water into water mist, which then enters the nozzle mounting bracket 4 area through the water mist outlet 20 on the side wall of the water tank 2. Simultaneously, gas from the gas tank 51 in the lower frame 12 is transmitted through the air duct 52, the end of which is fixedly connected to the nozzle 42 on the first mounting plate 41, allowing the gas to enter the nozzle 42. The main light sources 43, arranged in an alternating pattern on the surface of the first mounting plate 41, illuminate the water mist, creating a flame-like effect. The design of the main frame 1 being enclosed on all sides and the nozzle mounting bracket 4 area having an open top ensures the stability of the internal structure while providing an outlet for the water mist, ensuring sufficient space for the special effects display. This fog-fire effect device can quickly and accurately present fog-fire effects during stage performances, meeting the demands of the performance rhythm.

[0029] In this invention, preferably, the water tank 2 has an upward opening, and the opening of the water tank 2 has a cover 21. The cover 21 has a mounting opening along its length in the middle, and a second mounting plate 210 is installed at the mounting opening. Several supplementary light sources 2101 are spaced apart on the second mounting plate 210. The second mounting plate 210 is parallel to the first mounting plate 41 and is installed at an angle towards the nozzle 42 area. The inclined second mounting plate 210 is installed at the supplementary light source mounting opening in the middle of the cover 21. When the main light source 43 creates a fog-fire effect, the supplementary light sources 2101 provide lateral illumination to the water mist, working in conjunction with the light from the main light source 43. Through illumination from different angles, the light and shadow effects of the water mist are further enhanced.

[0030] In this invention, preferably, the cover 21 area away from the nozzle 42 area is provided with multiple sets of louvered ventilation holes 211. When the atomizer 22 inside the water tank 2 is working, it generates heat and water vapor. These louvered ventilation holes 211 allow the interior of the water tank 2 to circulate with the outside air, expelling heat and excess water vapor, maintaining the stability of the internal environment of the water tank 2, and preventing the performance of the atomizer 22 and other components from being affected by excessively high internal temperature or water vapor accumulation.

[0031] In this invention, preferably, a vertical baffle 23 is provided inside the water tank 2, positioned between the louvered ventilation hole 211 and the second mounting plate 210. When outside air enters the water tank 2 through the louvered ventilation hole, the baffle 23 can block and guide the airflow, preventing it from directly blowing onto the second mounting plate 210 and the supplementary light source 2101, thus preventing airflow disturbance from affecting the light projection direction of the supplementary light source 2101 and ensuring the stability of the supplementary lighting effect.

[0032] In this invention, preferably, the water tank 2 is equipped with a stop valve 24 for water inlet and a drainage and overflow structure. The drainage and overflow structure includes a drain pipe 31, an overflow pipe 33, and an output pipe 3 connected to the drain pipe 31 and the overflow pipe 33. A drain valve 32 is provided on the output pipe 3 between the drain pipe 31 and the overflow pipe 33. The drain outlet 310 of the drain pipe 31, located inside the water tank, is located at the bottom of the water tank 2. The overflow outlet 330 of the overflow pipe 33, located inside the water tank, is higher than the drain outlet 310. The output pipe 3 is located on the upper part of the lower frame 12. During normal use, the water in the water tank 2 can be drained through the drain pipe 31 for replacement or maintenance. When the water level in the water tank 2 exceeds the height of the overflow pipe 33, the excess water will be discharged through the overflow pipe 33 and the output pipe 3, preventing the water tank 2 from overflowing due to excessive water level. The drain valve 32 can control the opening and closing of drainage and overflow, facilitating operation by the operator according to actual needs.

[0033] In this invention, preferably, the gas pipeline 52 is equipped with a pressure regulating valve 53 and a solenoid valve 54. The installation of the pressure regulating valve 53 and the solenoid valve 54 in the gas pipeline 52 greatly improves the controllability and safety of the gas system. The solenoid valve 54 enables rapid on / off control of the gas path, providing strong assurance for the stable operation of the device.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
