An electric fireplace includes a shell, where a heating component including a wind turbine and a heating element is disposed in the shell, and further includes a translucent imaging screen, where the imaging screen is vertically disposed at an upper end of the shell, a flame plate that can cast a flame shape is disposed on an upper end surface of the shell, and a light source and a light interference combination that includes a light interference barrel and a motor are disposed below the flame plate. Disposing the imaging screen externally greatly reduces the size of the shell. The present utility model is small in size, convenient in transportation, and unique in model, and can be adapted to a modern decoration style.

A 3D flame projection system is provided, comprising a light source and a light-transmittable hood. The light source is disposed inside the light-transmittable hood. The 3D flame projection system further comprises a lens which has different refractive indexes for refracting light generated by the light source and splitting the light into a plurality of light beams at different angles and/or has different light transmittances for allowing light generated by the light source to partially transmit through the lens. The 3D flame projection system has the following advantages: simple structure, low cost, small space occupation, realistic flame dancing effect, and it is advantageous for realization of ultrathin production of fireplaces.

A flame simulating assembly is provided with a reflected flickering light that includes only one light source. Light from the light source passes through a rotating flicker element onto an angled reflector, or mirror, that reflects light up onto a simulated fuel bed and the some of the light is reflected off of the flicker elements towards a flame screen to create a simulated flame. The clipping flicker elements creates a fluttering light effect due to the flicker elements intermittently clipping into the light path. This fluctuating light is reflected onto the logs and ember bed in front and creates a dancing effect, which simulates glowing embers.

An electric fireplace includes a housing, a main control board, a flame processing device, a simulated wood, a light-emitting device, a light-reflecting device, and simulated bricks. All the inner walls of an accommodating chamber of the housing are bonded with the simulated bricks to form a three-dimensional brick wall effect. The flame-shaped light projects on the simulated bricks from a gap between the rear inner wall of the accommodating chamber and the simulated wood, enabling the flame burning effect of the electric fireplace to more three-dimensional.

An electric heating apparatus (1) including an electric heater (12) and a flame simulator (2). The apparatus includes an air outlet channel (14) for expelling heated air wherein the cross-sectional area of the air outlet channel (13) increases with increased distance from the heater.

A multifunctional electric fireplace includes a casing, a main control board, a decorative light guide plate, a light emitting device, and a simulated charcoal. The decorative light guide plate is disposed on the inner wall of an accommodating chamber of the casing, so that the light of the light emitting device is irradiated on the side of the decorative light guide plate. The main control board controls the light change of the light emitting device, so that the decorative light guide plate exhibits various statics patterns or dynamic patterns to form realistic visual effects. The functions of simulation are diverse, which can meet the requirements for aesthetics.

A fireplace cavity insert provides still and video images appearing to emanate from within the insert.

A combined furniture and heating device having a concealable electric fireplace insert installed within a fireplace compartment of a furniture apparatus is provided. The electric fireplace insert has a front surface from which simulated flames are viewable when an opening of the fireplace compartment is uncovered so that the furniture apparatus is configured in its open configuration. The furniture apparatus includes a concealing panel removably installable over the opening configure the device in a concealed configuration so that the electric fireplace insert and its simulated flames viewable at its front surface are at least partially concealed. Power to a heating apparatus of the electric fireplace insert is turned on and off by a disabling device as the concealing panel is alternated between the open and concealed configurations. The disabling device can include a switch or a thermistor.

A flame simulating assembly is provided with a reflected flickering light that includes only one light source. Light from the light source passes through a rotating flicker element onto an angled reflector, or mirror, that reflects light up onto a simulated fuel bed and the some of the light is reflected off of the flicker elements towards a flame screen to create a simulated flame. The clipping flicker elements creates a fluttering light effect due to the flicker elements intermittently dipping into the light path. This fluctuating light is reflected onto the logs and ember bed in front and creates a dancing effect, which simulates glowing embers.

A touch device capable of illuminating and displaying buttons includes a fixing frame, a touch panel, a sensing electrode, a light emitting member, a condensing lid, an imaging film, a translucent light shielding film, and a touch media. The condensing lid is located above the touch panel. The imaging film is located above the condensing lid. The imaging film is formed with image holes to display various button patterns. The translucent light shielding film is located above the imaging film. The touch media is located above the translucent light shielding film.
