Simulated solid fuel

Abstract

The present invention discloses a simulated solid fuel, including a fuel body, a flow guiding device, a mist source and a light source. The fuel body houses a mist distribution chamber and an air directing chamber which are isolated from each other, and the surface of the fuel body includes mist outlets and mist inlets, the mist outlets and the mist inlets all communicating with the mist distribution chamber. The flow guiding device provides an upwardly rising air flow in the air directing chamber. The mist source delivers mist to the mist distribution chamber through the mist inlets, and is then attracted by the air flow injected from the air ejection port to move toward the middle area of the fuel body to form a flame shape, and is irradiated by the light emitted from the light source, thereby truly simulating the realistic effect of solid fuel combustion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(9) The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments of the drawings.

Embodiment 1

(10) As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, a simulated solid fuel includes a fuel body 1, a flow guiding device 2, a mist source 3 and a light source 4. The fuel body 1 has a hollow structure and is provided with a mist distribution chamber 11 and an air directing chamber 12. The mist distribution chamber 11 and the air directing chamber 12 do not communicate with each other inside the fuel body 1, and mist outlets 13 are disposed on the periphery of the edge of the fuel body 1. In Embodiment 1, the mist outlets 13 are disposed on both sides of the fuel body 1. The fuel body 1 is provided with mist inlets 14, and the mist inlets 14 communicate with the mist distribution chamber 11 and are connected to a mist delivery pipe 31 on the mist source 3. In Embodiment 1, the mist source 3 is an atomizing ultrasonic mist generator. The fuel body 1 is further provided with an air ejection port 15, and the air ejection port 15 communicates with the air directing chamber 12. In Embodiment 1, the flow guiding device 2 is a heat source in the form of an electric heating tube, which is disposed inside the air directing chamber 12. Due to the heating of the electric heating tube, the air in the air directing chamber 12 is heated to form a rising air flow. In Embodiment 1, the light source 4 is two LED light panels disposed on both sides of the fuel body 1, and the light emitted from the light source 4 is irradiated obliquely and upward toward the fuel body 1.

(11) During operation, mist is generated inside the mist source 3, and the mist is delivered into the mist distribution chamber 11 through the mist delivery pipe 31 by a power device inside the mist source 3. When the amount of mist in the mist distribution chamber 11 reaches a certain level, the mist will vent from the mist outlets 13. The flow guiding device 2 is started simultaneously or subsequently or in advance, and the flow guiding device 2, that is, the electric heating tube starts to heat the air in the air directing chamber 12. Since the air expands after being heated, it is ejected from the air ejection port 15, thereby forming an air flow in the middle area of the upper surface of the fuel body 1. According to aerodynamics, the faster the gas velocity, the lower the pressure, so the pressure in the middle area of the upper surface of the fuel body 1 is lowered. This will cause the mist venting from the mist outlets 13 to have a tendency to move toward the middle area of the upper surface of the fuel body 1, i.e., moving along and rise upwardly from the upper surface of the fuel body 1. The light emitted from the light source 4 is irradiated on the mist venting from the mist outlets 13, and the puffs of mist create various upward flame-like shapes to simulate the state of real solid fuel flame combustion.

Embodiment 2

(12) As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 7, a simulated solid fuel includes a fuel body 1, a flow guiding device 2, a mist source 3 and a light source 4. The fuel body 1 has a hollow structure and is provided with a mist distribution chamber 11 and an air directing chamber 12. The mist distribution chamber 11 and the air directing chamber 12 do not communicate with each other inside the fuel body 1, and mist outlets 13 are disposed on the periphery of the edge of the fuel body 1. In Embodiment 2, the mist outlets 13 are disposed on four side edges and the upper surface region of the fuel body 1. The fuel body 1 is provided with mist inlets 14, and the mist inlets 14 communicate with the mist distribution chamber 11 and are connected to a mist delivery pipe 31 on the mist source 3. In Embodiment 2, the mist source 3 is an atomizing ultrasonic mist generator. The fuel body 1 is further provided with an air ejection port 15, and the air ejection port 15 communicates with the air directing chamber 12. In Embodiment 2, the flow guiding device 2 is an air duct powered by a fan 21, which is disposed at the bottom of the air directing chamber 12, and the flow guiding device 2 provides an upwardly rising air flow in the air directing chamber 12. In Embodiment 2, the light source 4 is three LED light panels respectively disposed on the two sides of the fuel body 1 and inside the fuel body 1, and the light emitted from the light source 4 is irradiated obliquely upward and/or upward toward the upper surface of the fuel body 1.

(13) During operation, mist is generated inside the mist source 3, and the mist is delivered into the mist distribution chamber 11 through the mist delivery pipe 31 by a power device inside the mist source 3. When the amount of mist in the mist distribution chamber 11 reaches a certain level, the mist will vent from the mist outlets 13. The flow guiding device 2 is started simultaneously or subsequently or in advance, and under the action of the fan 21, the air in the air directing chamber 12 moves upward and is then ejected from the air ejection port 15, thereby forming an air flow in the middle area of the upper surface of the fuel body 1. According to aerodynamics, the faster the gas velocity, the lower the pressure, so the pressure in the middle area of the upper surface of the fuel body 1 is lowered. This will cause the mist venting from the mist outlets 13 to have a tendency to move toward the middle area of the upper surface of the fuel body 1, i.e., move along and rise upwardly from the upper surface of the fuel body 1. The light emitted from the light source 4 is irradiated on the mist emerging from the mist outlets 13. The puffs of mist create various upward flame-like shapes are formed to simulate the state of real solid fuel flame combustion.

(14) The above description is only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may also make improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications should also be considered to be within the protection scope of the present invention.
