In Fig. 1-6, with label 10 expressions, as shown in the figure, this fuel bed 10 is included in the electric fireplace 12 simulated fuel bed of the present invention generally.
Preferred electric fireplace 12 produces the analog image 14 of flame between reflected image 10 ＇ of fuel bed 10 and fuel bed 10.This electricity fireplace 12 comprises translucent screen 16, and this translucent screen 16 has the partial reflection surface 18 that is located immediately at fuel bed 10 back, so that generate reflected image 10 ＇ of fuel bed 10.The analog image 14 of flame is to produce from the light of the flash element 20 that is positioned at screen 16 back and scattering region 21 propagation that this reverberation is passed on the screen 16 by reflection.The more details relevant with the preferred embodiment structure of electric fireplace 12 disclose these two patents of this paper reference by United States Patent (USP) 4965707 and 5642580.But should be known in the electric fireplace and the gas firing wall that can be used for other type after the present invention is through necessary the improvement.
Referring to Fig. 1 and 2, as can be seen, fuel bed 10 has ignitable fuel 22, simulation ash fire bed 24 and the fire grate 26 real or simulation of simulation.This ignitable fuel 22 is preferably made by the expanded polystyrene material, and coats the blockish color of class.Ash fire bed 24 preferably is made of plastics, and it has redness, tangerine look or yellow translucent portion 28, to simulate wooden ash fire bed.Fire grate 26 is preferably made by metal or ceramic material, it can be tinted when needing, to simulate the metal material of true fireplace fire grate.Fire grate 26 is that optionally fuel bed 10 can only be made of ignitable fuel 22 and ash fire bed 24.Should be known in the parts 22,24 and 26 of fuel bed 10 can be by any material that can accurately simulate these parts and mode that function practical low with cost constitute.
As shown in Figure 2, for example one or more bulbs of light source 30 be positioned at simulated fuel bed 10 below.The light that light source 30 sends passes the colored translucent portion 28 of ash fire bed and propagates, to produce the illusion of ashes burning.Also propagate from the light that light source sends to flash element 20, and thus to the reflection of screen 16 back, thereby the flame image 14 of simulation produced.This flash element 20 preferably can rotate around its central axis 31, thereby makes the flame 14 of simulation seem flicker (being described in detail as United States Patent (USP) 5642580).When including this fuel bed 10 in the gas firing wall, light source 30 can comprise the gas flame that is produced by fireplace simply.
A plurality of reflectors 34 are arranged to the pattern 33 of ashes on the part ignitable fuel 22 of fuel bed 10, thereby reflect the light that sends by light source 30.Make the people produce the illusion that ashes burn at ignitable fuel from the light of reflector 34 reflections.This reflector 34 also can be arranged on the part ash fire bed 24, otherwise the light that is difficult to propagate by passing colored translucent portion 28 herein produces the illusion of hot ashes.For example, red reflector 34 can be contained in the surface up of ash fire bed 24, to reflect the light that is sent from the light source (not shown) that is positioned at the fireplace top.
Utilize presser sensor glue (for example two-sided tape), PUR or other suitable fasteners that is able to take the temperature relevant that reflector 34 is contained on the fuel bed 10 with electricity or gas firing wall.Have been found that two-sided tape can make a plurality of reflectors 34 be attached to the suitable part of fuel bed 10 simultaneously.Can form transfer pictures (transfer decal) (not shown) that has the reflector of being arranged to ashes pattern 33, this will be described below.At this moment, the gluing surface of decal paper is thrown off, thereby decal paper can be installed on the fuel bed 10.The remainder that does not form reflector 34 in the decal paper is peelled off again, and like this, remaining is exactly the reflector 34 that is arranged to ashes pattern 33.Like this, this reflector can be installed on the fuel bed 10 and with reflector 34 in the low mode of cost and accurately be arranged to the ashes pattern.
Referring to first embodiment shown in Figure 3, as can be seen, a plurality of reflectors 34 that respectively have polygonal shape of one's own are arranged to ashes pattern 33, and two relative edges 36 of each reflector 34 are in substantially parallel relationship to the simulation texture 38 of simulating ignitable fuel 22 and extend.Be arranged to make it to go relative to one another reflector 34 along texture 38.For example, Mu Tou texture is along wooden longitudinal extension.Coal cinder also has texture, although be not clearly from the direction of this texture of coal cinder shape.The ashes pattern 33 of reflector 34 comprises the areflexia at interval 40 between the reflector 34, with between the ashes on the fuel of simulated combustion with the crack that occurs.The width at this interval 40 is unanimous on the whole.But, the size and the shape of reflector 34 change, although most of reflector 34 is irregular quadrilateral substantially.
Referring to second embodiment of reflector shown in Figure 4 34 ＇, as can be seen, be provided with single reflector 34 ＇, it has a plurality of echo areas 41 and non-echo area 43.Zone 41 and 43 shape and size respectively with above-mentioned each reflector 34 shown in Figure 3 and 40 shape and big or small consistent at interval.The non-echo area 43 of reflector 34 ＇ be coated with by etching or on a reflector 34 surfaces coat, the China ink or other suitable non-reflective materials form.
Should be noted that among Fig. 2 that reflector 34 is positioned at a plurality of ad-hoc locations on the ignitable fuel 22.Reflector 34a is positioned at along the position of anterior wooden 39 front surface down 36, and reflector 34b is positioned at along the position of anterior wooden 39 rear surface down 40.Reflector 34c is positioned at along the position of the rear surface up 42 of rear portion wood 44.Rear portion wood 44 is rived, therefore, when it with when shielding observed its reflected image 44 ＇ of 16 reflecting surface 18 and combine, just can be shown as complete wood.Similarly, anterior wooden 39 also have reflected image 39 ＇.
As shown in Figure 2, according to their position, the light that each reflector 34a, 34b and 34c send from light source 30 in reflection and to produce the effect that is produced the process of ashes illusion different.Reflector 34a and 34b reflect light 46, and light 46 has become colourama owing to pass the translucent portion 28 of ash fire bed 24.The light of reflector 34a reflection can be directly seen by the spectators 48 of fireplace front.The light of reflector 34b reflection can be indirectly observed by spectators, is reflected once by the reflecting surface 18 that shields 16 earlier because this reverberation is inevitable before the eyes that arrive spectators again.The light 50 that shields 16 scattering region 21 and propagate is passed in reflector 34c reflection.The light of reflector 34c reflection can be indirectly observed by spectators 48, because this reverberation is inevitable earlier by reflecting surface 18 reflections of shielding 16 before the eyes that arrive spectators.Can both strengthen the illusion that the corresponding temperature of simulation ashes changes by any flicker of the simulating flame 14 of reflector 34c reflection.
Each reflector 34 is all made by suitable reflecting material, for example the metal forming of high reflection.Have been found that chromium plating MYLAR TMOr the thin slice of metallized polyester is suitable material.Reflector 34c preferably uses redness, tangerine look or yellow reflection foil, to strengthen catoptrical color.Reflector 34a and 34b preferably use the reflection foil of silver color, because its incident light has been colored.Though preferably make reflector 34 at present, also can consider to replace with reflecting glass or other reflecting material with paillon foil.For example, in gas firing wall,, may need to make reflector 34 with heat-resisting two-way mirror because paillon foil is subjected to the influence of high temperature.Certainly, the fuel bed 10 of gas firing wall also need be made by suitable heat proof material well known in the prior art.
Except reflector 34,, also can strengthen the effect of fuel bed by the little pieces of reflective material 60 of spreading randomly on ignitable fuel 22 and ash fire bed 24.These small pieces 60 are to be made by the reflective metals paper tinsel similar to the reflective metals paper tinsel that is preferred for forming reflector 34.These small pieces 60 enough little (two mm wides or littler) are so that produce the illusion of the ash that emits sparks.Because (these small pieces are arranged on the fuel bed 10 with various angle the very little and random distribution of small pieces, so as on small pieces 40 and below reverberation from different perspectives), spectators 48 observe on the fuel bed 10 light of flicker at random at short notice (because when spectators 48 are mobile a little, observed catoptrical angle has just become, and flicker just will disappear).These small pieces 60 can be handled with glue before spreading on the fuel bed 10, perhaps, also can before the spreading small pieces 60 transparent sticky matter be sprayed on the fuel bed 10.
Referring to Fig. 5, second embodiment of simulated fuel bed 10 is shown.For convenience's sake, represent with identical reference number with the corresponding element of the foregoing description.
In second embodiment of fuel bed 10, flash element 20 ＇ be positioned at ash fire bed 24 below so that the light that reflection source 30 ＇ send.This flash element 20 ＇ and the aforementioned structure of flash element 20 (comprising the explanation of the patent of top reference) that is arranged in screen 16 back are similar.This flash element 20 ＇ comprise a plurality of reflection bars 60 that extend from axis 31 ＇.This flash element 20 ＇ are driven by motor 62 and rotate around axis 31 ＇.The rotation of flash element 20 ＇ has produced the movable light beam of the light that sends from light source 30 ＇, and this light beam propagates into reflector 34a and 34b subsequently, and by reflector 34a and 34b reflection, with the impression of the burning ashes that produce different temperatures.
Referring to Fig. 6, the 3rd embodiment of fuel bed 10 is shown.For convenience's sake, represent with same numeral with the corresponding element of the foregoing description.
In the 3rd embodiment of fuel bed 10, flash element 20 ＇ and static reflector 70 be positioned at ash fire bed 24 below.The light that light source 30 ＇ send can directly propagate into reflector 34a and 34b, or by being reflected by static reflector 70 after the flash element 20 ＇ reflection, propagates into reflector 34a and 34b more again.By rotation, flash element 20 ＇ generation activity light beams when this activity light beam be reflected device 34a and 34b reflex time, make spectators produce the impression of scorching hot ashes and ash, and its outward appearance makes the exposure intensity of zones of different constantly become stronger and more weak in continuous variation.
Ash fire bed 24 also comprises a plurality of light propagation hole 72.Diameter in this hole 72 when being circle substantially (if) or width between 4mm to 20mm, preferably between 6mm to 12mm, especially are approximately 8mm substantially.The size cardinal principle of reflector 34a and 34b and the equal and opposite in direction in hole 72.
Ignitable fuel 22 and ash fire bed 24 are arranged so promptly, the light that reflects from flash element 20 ＇ can (by static reflector 70) be mapped on reflector 34a and the 34b through via hole 72.
Preferably, the inventive system comprises transparent or semitransparent preceding screen 80, screen 80 can be made by glass or other suitable material such as plastics before this.Preferably, screen 80 is (or " smoked (smoked) ") of dyeing before this, and like this, when light source 30 ＇ did not open, spectators cannot see the inside of this device.
In order to strengthen the visual effect that apparatus of the present invention produce,, can increase the degree of depth on simulated fireplace ground by additional simulated fuel bed 24 ＇ and at least one additional simulation ignitable fuel piece 22 ＇ that have reflector 34a and 34b are set in screen 80 fronts.Additional static reflector 71 ＇ are set again, so that the light that will be directly sends from light source 30 ＇ and reflex on reflector 34a and the 34b from the light of flash element 20 ＇.
Should be known in that what introduced is the preferred embodiments of the present invention.The spirit that fully understands the invention described above and below under the situation of the claim scope that proposes, the present invention can also have some to change and other embodiment.
