Abstract

An electric multiplayer frame fireplace with an internal charcoal bed and an external charcoal bed comprises a housing, an imaging light source arranged on the lower side of the housing, a light processing device and simulated charcoal beds arranged above the imaging light source and an imaging screen, the imaging screen is arranged close to the simulated charcoal beds, a front simulated charcoal bed is arranged on the front side of the lower end of the imaging screen, and a rear simulated charcoal bed higher than the front simulated charcoal bed is arranged on the rear side of the lower end of the imaging screen. In addition, the electric fireplace can simulate the sound of charcoal combustion.

Claims (36)

1. An electric frame fireplace having an internal charcoal bed and an external charcoal bed, comprising:

a housing;

an imaging light source arranged on the lower side of the housing;

a light processing device and a front and a rear simulated charcoal bed arranged above the imaging light source; and

an imaging screen close to the simulated charcoal beds and having a lower end,

wherein the front simulated charcoal bed is arranged on a front side of the lower end of the imaging screen, and the rear simulated charcoal bed is arranged higher than the front simulated charcoal bed on the rear side of the lower end of the imaging screen,

wherein the imaging screen has an irregular rough surface or matte surface, and

wherein the front vertical side of the rear simulated charcoal bed and the rear vertical side of the front simulated charcoal bed are tightly adhered to the imaging screen.

2. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 1 , wherein multiple irregularly-distributed gaps are arranged on the tops of the front simulated charcoal bed and the rear simulated charcoal bed.

3. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 1 , wherein the light processing device is a light reflector, which is composed of a rotating shaft driven by a motor and flexible light reflecting strips arranged on the rotating shaft and is disposed behind the rear simulated charcoal bed.

4. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 1 , wherein a remote control circuit for the imaging light source is arranged in the housing to control the brightness change of the imaging light source according to a program set by a remote controller.

5. An electric frame fireplace having an internal charcoal bed and an external charcoal bed, comprising:

a housing;

an imaging light source arranged on the lower side of the housing;

a light processing device and a front and a rear simulated charcoal bed arranged above the imaging light source; and

an imaging screen close to the simulated charcoal beds and having a lower end,

wherein the front simulated charcoal bed is arranged on a front side of the lower end of the imaging screen, and the rear simulated charcoal bed is arranged higher than the front simulated charcoal bed on the rear side of the lower end of the imaging screen,

wherein multiple light-transmitting grooves are arranged on the front vertical side of the rear simulated charcoal bed.

6. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 5 , wherein multiple irregularly-distributed gaps are arranged on the tops of the front simulated charcoal bed and the rear simulated charcoal bed.

7. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 5 , wherein the light processing device is a light reflector, which is composed of a rotating shaft driven by a motor and flexible light reflecting strips arranged on the rotating shaft and is disposed behind the rear simulated charcoal bed.

8. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 5 , wherein a remote control circuit for the imaging light source is arranged in the housing to control the brightness change of the imaging light source according to a program set by a remote controller.

9. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 5 , wherein the imaging screen has an irregular rough surface or matte surface, and wherein the front vertical side of the rear simulated charcoal bed and the rear vertical side of the front simulated charcoal bed are tightly adhered to the imaging screen.

10. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 5 , wherein the light processing device is a light reflector, which is composed of a rotating shaft driven by a motor and flexible light reflecting strips arranged on the rotating shaft and is disposed behind the rear simulated charcoal bed.

11. An electric frame fireplace having an internal charcoal bed and an external charcoal bed, comprising:

a housing;

an imaging light source arranged on the lower side of the housing;

a light processing device and a front and a rear simulated charcoal bed arranged above the imaging light source; and

an imaging screen close to the simulated charcoal beds and having a lower end,

wherein the front simulated charcoal bed is arranged on a front side of the lower end of the imaging screen, and the rear simulated charcoal bed is arranged higher than the front simulated charcoal bed on the rear side of the lower end of the imaging screen,

wherein the light processing device is a light reflector, which is composed of a rotating shaft driven by a motor and flexible light reflecting strips arranged on the rotating shaft and is disposed behind the rear simulated charcoal bed, and

wherein one end of the flexible light reflecting strips is suspended, and the other end thereof is fixed on the rotating shaft; and the length of the flexible light reflecting strips is greater than the distance between the rotating shaft and the rear simulated charcoal bed or the back wall of the housing of the electric fireplace.

12. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 11 , wherein multiple irregularly-distributed gaps are arranged on the tops of the front simulated charcoal bed and the rear simulated charcoal bed.

13. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 11 , wherein the light processing device is a light reflector, which is composed of a rotating shaft driven by a motor and flexible light reflecting strips arranged on the rotating shaft and is disposed behind the rear simulated charcoal bed.

14. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 11 , wherein a remote control circuit for the imaging light source is arranged in the housing to control the brightness change of the imaging light source according to a program set by a remote controller.

15. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 11 , wherein the imaging screen has an irregular rough surface or matte surface, and wherein the front vertical side of the rear simulated charcoal bed and the rear vertical side of the front simulated charcoal bed are tightly adhered to the imaging screen.

16. The electric frame fireplace as in claim 11 , wherein multiple light-transmitting grooves are arranged on the front vertical side of the rear simulated charcoal bed.
