Abstract

An electric fireplace having a fire simulating assembly is provided. The fire simulating assembly includes a semitransparent light filter screen, a mirror glass wall and a dynamic light source. The dynamic light source includes fixed light source and a photic cover composed with many rotating centrifugal blades. There are many photic apertures in flame shape. The centrifugal blades rotate around a center of the light source. There are clearances between the centrifugal blades causing light to reflect through the centrifugal blades. The electric fireplace achieves a natural effect of vivid, rising and leaping simulated flame.

Claims (13)

1. A fireplace comprising: a fire simulating assembly, wherein the fire simulating assembly comprises a semitransparent light filter screen; a mirror glass wall; and a dynamic light source, wherein in which the said dynamic light source comprises a fixed light source and a photic cover comprising a plurality of rotating centrifugal blades; wherein each centrifugal blade of the plurality of centrifugal blades rotates about a same central axis; and wherein a center of curvature of each centrifugal blade of the plurality of centrifugal blades is not in line of a center axis of the fixed light source; a plurality of in which there are many colorful flicking boards located at a periphery of the plurality of centrifugal blades, wherein in which one side of each flicking board of the plurality of flicking boards is connected with one side of the said plurality of centrifugal blades, the other sides of said plurality off centrifugal blades and said plurality of flicking boards board are connected with two covering boards, the two covering boards are connected with an axis of an electric motor.

2. The fireplace with fire simulating assembly according to claim 1 , wherein in which the said plurality of centrifugal blades comprise a plurality of having many photic apertures having a in flame shape.

3. The fireplace with fire simulating assembly according to claim 1 , wherein: in which the distributing mode of the said centrifugal blades is:

said plurality of centrifugal blades are located at a periphery of the fixed light source;

wherein said plurality of centrifugal blades are never joined together with each other and form a glistening clearance; and

wherein light from the light source is reflected through said plurality of centrifugal blades.

4. The fireplace according to claim 1 , wherein said plurality of centrifugal blades are arc shaped.

5. The fireplace according to claim 1 , wherein said plurality of centrifugal blades are planar shaped.

6. The fireplace according to claim 1 , wherein the fireplace comprises at least three centrifugal blades.

7. The fireplace according to claim 1 , wherein the fireplace comprises at least six centrifugal blades.

8. The fireplace according to claim 1 , wherein two ends of said plurality of centrifugal blades are connected with one covering board, the covering board is connected with an axis of an electric motor.

9. The fireplace according to claim 1 , further comprise a plurality of photic apertures in flame shape.

10. The fireplace according to claim 1 , wherein said lighting source is fixed in a central line of the axis of said electric motor.
