Abstract

An electric fireplace having a simulated dynamic wall includes a housing and a simulated charcoal. The housing has a combustion room therein. The simulated charcoal is placed inside the combustion room and located at a bottom of the combustion room. An inner wall of the housing is provided with simulated wall tiles. A top of the combustion room is provided with a ceiling lamp. A connecting wire of the ceiling lamp is connected to a main control board. The main control board is provided with a low-voltage DC stabilized power supply circuit, a main control unit, a light-emitting load, and a light signal feedback comparator capable of forming a signal feedback.

Claims (9)

1. An electric fireplace having a simulated dynamic wall, comprising a housing and a simulated charcoal, the housing having a combustion room therein, the simulated charcoal being placed inside the combustion room and located at a bottom of the combustion room, characterized by: an inner wall of the housing being provided with simulated wall tiles; a top of the combustion room being provided with a ceiling lamp, light emitted from the ceiling lamp being projected on the simulated wall tiles; a connecting wire of the ceiling lamp being connected to a main control board, the main control board being provided with a low-voltage DC stabilized power supply circuit for providing a DC power source, a main control unit for implementing light change control, a driver or drive IC for performing light adjustment according to the main control unit, a light-emitting load, and a light signal feedback comparator capable of forming a signal feedback; a first branch of the low-voltage DC stabilized power circuit directly supplying power to the light-emitting load, a second branch of the low-voltage DC stabilized power circuit being connected with the main control unit, the driver or drive IC and the light-emitting load in sequence so that a control signal that can be dynamically changed is transmitted to the ceiling lamp, the light signal feedback comparator being connected in series between the light-emitting load and the main control unit to form a feedback control loop; wherein, during operation, a gradation signal output from the main control unit is transmitted to an input control pin of the driver or drive IC to connect or disconnect the driver or drive IC, the ceiling lamp is controlled to be switched on or off, or the light slowly fades between lighting and extinguishing, a light change signal is fed back to the main control unit so that the main control unit intelligently adjusts a conversion speed of the gradation signal.

2. The electric fireplace as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ceiling lamp includes a lamp casing, a lamp board, a plurality of light emitting diodes and the connecting wire, the light emitting diodes are welded and fixed on the lamp board, the lamp board is mounted to the light casing, and the connecting wire is electrically connected with the light emitting diodes through the light board.

3. The electric fireplace as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the ceiling lamp includes two or more ceiling lamps, the connecting wire is connected in series between the ceiling lamps, the ceiling lamps are mounted at left and right sides of a top plate of the housing respectively, the lamp casings of the ceiling lamps have a plurality of light projection holes, the light projections holes face a left side, a right side, or a back side of the housing for projecting the light on the simulated wall tiles.

4. The electric fireplace as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the light emitting diodes of the ceiling lamp are monochrome or colorful, and the light emitting diodes are mounted to the light board in a plug-in or surface-mount manner.

5. The electric fireplace as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the simulated wall tiles are made of a resin, blister, plastic, sticker or acrylic material.

6. The electric fireplace as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing is a trapezoidal structure or a symmetrical structure that has a wide front and a narrow rear.

7. The electric fireplace as claimed in claim 1 , wherein left and right sides of an inner wall of the housing are provided with the simulated wall tiles, or left and right sides and a back side of an inner wall of the housing are provided with the simulated wall tiles.

8. The electric fireplace as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a front of the housing is provided with a panel, and the panel is a curved or planar structure with a transparent viewing window.

9. The electric fireplace as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a top of the panel is provided with a meshed panel, the meshed panel has an air outlet, and a control button panel is provided at a corner of the panel.
