Description

Electric fireplace simulation fuel bed
Technical Field
The invention relates to a simulated fuel bed, in particular to a simulated fuel bed for simulating real solid fuel combustion on an electric fireplace.
Background
The fireplace is safe and efficient traditional heating equipment, can be used as a decorative article besides the heating function, and has good ornamental value. With the increasing popularization of electric appliances and the requirement of people on forest resource protection, most families adopt electric fireplaces, so that the tradition is kept, and a good heating effect is achieved. At present, the whole electric fireplace adopts a light projection method to respectively simulate the fuel flame fluttering and the effect of real solid fuel in combustion.
In the prior art, the simulated fuel bed is generally composed of a carbon bed and simulated solid fuel, and a light source projection system is arranged below the carbon bed. The carbon bed is typically made of a transparent or translucent material and even surface-imitated to the same texture and color as the simulated carbon bed ash. And a light source projection system is arranged below the carbon bed, and the light source projection system irradiates on the carbon bed from the lower part of the carbon bed, penetrates through the carbon bed and irradiates on the simulated solid fuel, so that the appearance similar to the burning of the carbon fire is generated on the surfaces of the carbon bed and the simulated solid fuel.
However, the existing simulated fuel bed needs to enable light to penetrate through the carbon bed, so that the light is attenuated to a certain degree and is not bright enough, and a light source projection system needs to be arranged at the bottom of the carbon bed, so that the structure is complex, a certain space volume is occupied, and the visible area of the whole fireplace is greatly reduced. With the development of society, the requirement of people on the heating of the fireplace gradually decreases, the requirement on the decorative effect (visible area) of the fireplace becomes higher and higher, and the light source projection system is arranged below the charcoal bed, so that the use of the simulated fuel bed is limited.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing a simulated fuel bed of an electric fireplace. After the device is used for the electric fireplace, light rays can directly enter the carbon bed and irradiate from the upper surface in a mode of directly installing the light bar at the side edge of the carbon bed, so that the effect of real solid fuel combustion is simulated on the surface of the carbon bed and the surface of simulated solid fuel. Because a light source projection system below the carbon bed is not arranged, the size of the carbon bed from the bottom of the fireplace is reduced, and the area of a visible area is greatly expanded. The invention has simple structure and convenient production process, and is suitable for the simulated fuel bed on most electric fireplaces.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention for solving the technical problems is as follows: a simulated fuel bed of an electric fireplace comprises a carbon bed, simulated solid fuels and a light source, wherein the carbon bed is made of transparent materials and is in a flat sheet shape, the average thickness of the carbon bed is 3-20 mm, the bottom surface of the carbon bed is provided with one or more protrusions and/or grooves and/or printing lattice points, at least one simulated solid fuel is made of transparent or semitransparent materials, the simulated solid fuels are arranged above the carbon bed, the light source is arranged on at least one side edge of the carbon bed, light emitted by the light source is in a strip shape and is just vertical to or deflected to a certain small angle to irradiate towards the side edge of the carbon bed, and light emitted by the light source can be monochromatic or multicolor.
Because the carbon bed is made of transparent materials, light can freely spread after entering the carbon bed, and because the bottom surface of the carbon bed is provided with the bulges and/or the concave veins and/or the printing mesh points, the light can collide the bulges and/or the concave veins and/or the printing mesh points to scatter light, and the light emitted by the light source can overflow the upper surface and the lower surface of the carbon bed.
Furthermore, the simulated solid fuel is used for simulating the shape and surface texture effect of real firewood, or simulating the effect of mineral solid fuel such as coke, briquettes and the like, or transparent irregular particles such as crystal stone or cullet and the like or opaque cobblestones, and the flame is richer or the combination of the above by further reflecting and refracting light rays on the surfaces of the transparent irregular particles such as crystal stone or cullet and the like or the opaque cobblestones.
Furthermore, the partial surface area of the transparent irregular particles such as the crystal stone or the cullet or the opaque cobbles is sprayed or coated into black or gray to simulate the carbon ash which is not completely burnt.
Further, the raised grains and/or the concave grains and/or the printing dots are distributed unevenly and can be arranged according to a preset uneven density rule, so that light rays displayed on the carbon bed are distributed alternately in bright and dark according to a certain rule.
Furthermore, in order to enable the light on the carbon bed to be upwards irradiated, the bottom surface of the carbon bed is provided with the light reflecting piece, and the light reflecting piece can prevent the light from being irradiated from the lower part of the carbon bed and reflect the light irradiated from the lower part of the carbon bed back, so that the light loss is avoided, and the light emitting efficiency is improved.
Furthermore, in order to enable the light emitted from the upper surface of the carbon bed to be more uniform and soft and protect the carbon bed, a diffusion plate is arranged on the upper surface of the carbon bed, and the surface of the diffusion plate is provided with a micro-structure matrix with a frosted or embossed effect and the like, so that the light can be further refracted, diffracted and reflected, and the light can be emitted from the upper part of the carbon bed more uniformly.
Furthermore, the diffusion plate and the carbon bed can be made into a whole, namely, a microstructure matrix with a frosted or embossed effect and the like is directly made on the upper surface of the carbon bed.
Further, in order to simulate the burning effect of the ash on the real carbon bed more vividly, the carbon bed is of a structure for simulating the ash, the residual materials and the embers generated by the burning of the real solid fuel.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that: because the light source is arranged at the side of the charcoal bed, and the light reflecting piece and the diffusion plate are thin layers, the thickness of the simulated fuel bed of the electric fireplace can be made very small, a large space occupied by a light source projection system is not needed below the charcoal bed, the structure is simple, the installation space is saved, and the area of a visible area is increased. And the light emitted by the light source directly enters the carbon bed, so that the light loss is reduced, the luminous efficiency is improved, and the light source is suitable for the simulated fuel beds of most electric fireplaces.
