[0033] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a fire pit. The fire pit includes a plurality of detachable connection mechanisms, a plurality of wall bodies 100, a pressing frame 200, and a bearing plate 300. The wall bodies 100 surround to form a chamber, wherein the two adjacent wall bodies 100 are connected to each other through the detachable connection mechanism. The pressing frame 200 surrounds to form an opening that communicates with the chamber, wherein the pressing frame 200 is located at an upper portion of the chamber and provides a first horizontal force to push against the wall bodies 100. The bearing plate 300 is adapted to bearing fuel placed in the chamber. The bearing plate 300 is provided with a plurality of through holes that communicate with the chamber. The bearing plate 300 is located at a lower portion of the chamber and provides a second horizontal force to push against the wall bodies 100.

[0034] In the embodiment, the fire pit includes four wall bodies 100 that surround the chamber. The any two adjacent wall bodies 100 are connected to each other through the detachable connection mechanism. In other embodiments, the number of the wall bodies 100 can also be six, eight, etc.

[0035] Specifically, the wall body 100 is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoidal plate, and the length of the upper side of the isosceles trapezoidal plate is greater than the length of the lower side of the isosceles trapezoidal plate. By configuring the wall body 100 to be an isosceles trapezoid, the entire fire pit has a tapered shape from top to bottom, which on the one hand facilitates adding fuel into the chamber and on the other hand saves covered area.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 2, the bearing plate 300 is formed in one piece and has a surrounding frame and a four-sided taper portion. The four-sided taper portion is connected to the surrounding frame, and a plurality of through holes are provided at the four-sided taper portion.

[0037] In the embodiment, in order to further ensure the stability of the bearing plate 300, the bearing plate 300 also has a plurality of reinforcing ribs 301. The four-sided taper portion has four triangular surfaces and an apex area. The reinforcing rib 301 is located in the middle area of the triangular surface and extends in a direction from the apex area to the surrounding frame. The through holes are provided at the triangular surface and located on both sides of the reinforcing rib 301.

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the wall body 100 has an outer wall 110 and an inner wall 120. The inner wall 120 faces the chamber. The inner wall 120 is fixed on the inner surface of the outer wall 110 and exposes the upper edge portion 111 and two side edge portions 112 of the inner surface. The two side edge portions 112 are opposite to each other and connected to the upper edge portion 111. There is a gap space 101 between the inner wall 120 and the inner surface of the outer wall 110. A first vent 121 is provided in the upper side area of the inner wall 120. The first vent 121 communicates with the gap space 101. In the embodiment, the first vent 121 is a plurality of circular holes horizontally arranged in the upper side area of the inner wall 120. The shape and number of the first vent 121 are not limited thereto and can be set according to actual requirements. The gap space 101 between the outer wall 110 and the inner wall 120 forms a second flow channel. When the particles formed by incomplete combustion of fuel at the bottom of the chamber flow upward, the particles come into contact with the oxygen flowing out of the second flow channel, thereby burning again, ensuring that the fuel is fully utilized. In addition, the double-layered wall body 100 also has a heat-insulating effect, preventing users from being burned by accidentally touching the wall body 100.

[0039] The outer wall 110 is provided with a second vent 113 and a third vent 114. The second vent 113 communicates with the chamber and is lower than the bearing plate 300 in the vertical direction. The third vent 114 communicates with the gap space 101 and is aligned with the lower side area of the inner wall 120 in the vertical direction. Through the set positions of the second vent 113 and the third vent 114, the outside air flows into the chamber through the second vent 113, so that the fuel in the chamber can be fully burned; the outside air flows into the gap space 101 through the third vent 114 and then flows out through the first vent 121. In the embodiment, the second vent 113 and the third vent 114 are elongated openings arranged laterally, and the outer wall 110 is provided with four third vents 114 spaced apart from top to bottom. The shapes and numbers of the second vents 113 and the third vents 114 are not limited thereto and can be set according to actual needs.

[0040] The bearing plate 300 abuts against the bottom edge of the lower side area of the inner wall 120, and the pressing frame 200 abuts against the upper edge portion 111 of the inner surface of the outer wall 110, thereby increasing the distance between the bearing plate 300 and the pressing frame 200 and further making the overall structure of the fire pit more stable. Specifically, the pressing frame 200 is a quadrilateral frame. The pressing frame 200 provides a first horizontal force on the inner surface of the outer wall 110 to push against the four wall bodies 100, and the bearing plate 300 provides a second horizontal force on the inner wall 120 to push against the four wall bodies 100, so that the four wall bodies 100 surround to form a structurally stable chamber of the fire pit. As shown in FIG. 3, the limiting parts 122 are fixed on at least one set of opposite inner walls 120 for supporting the bearing plate 300. Specifically, for example, the limiting part 122 is fixed on the lower side of the inner wall 120 and extends horizontally toward the interior of the chamber. The lower sides of the two side edges of the bearing plate 300 respectively abut against the two opposite limiting parts 122.

[0041] The fire pit also includes a tray 400 and a sliding mechanism. The tray 400 is arranged in the chamber through the sliding mechanism for carrying ashes. The tray 400 is lower than the second vent 113 in the vertical direction, so that external air can be smoothly introduced into the chamber from the second vent 113 to promote combustion. Specifically, the sliding mechanism includes two chutes 500. The two chutes 500 are respectively transversely disposed on the inner surfaces of the opposite outer walls 110. The sliding connection between the tray 400 and the chutes 500 is achieved by inserting the two side walls of the tray 400 into the two chutes 500. The wall body 100 perpendicular to the sliding direction of the tray 400 is provided with an opening for the tray 400 to pass through. The structure of the sliding mechanism is not limited to the fixed chutes 500, and other structures that can achieve equivalent effects can be used as substitutes.

[0042] Continuing to refer to FIG. 3, the outer wall 110 also has an outer surface and two side surfaces. The outer surface and the inner surface are opposite to each other. The two side surfaces are opposite to each other and each connected to the outer surface and the inner surface. The detachable connection mechanism includes a hook part 610 and an opening part 620. The hook part 610 can pass through the opening part 620 in and out and hook around the opening part 620. One hook part 610 and the opening part 620 is provided on the side edge portion 112 of the inner surface of one of the two adjacent outer walls 110. The other of the hook part 610 and the opening part 620 is provided on the side surface of the other of the two adjacent outer walls 110. It can be understood that when the hook part 610 is provided on the side edge portion 112 of the inner surface of one of the two adjacent outer walls 110, the opening part 620 is provided on the side surface of the other outer wall 110; when the opening part 620 is provided on the side edge portion 112 of the inner surface of one of the two adjacent outer walls 110, the hook part 610 is provided on the side surface of the other outer wall 110. The structure of the detachable connection mechanism is not limited to this, and other structures that can achieve equivalent functions, such as engagements, bolt connections, etc., can be used as substitutes.

[0043] Furthermore, the detachable connection mechanism also includes a plug part 630 and a hole part 640. The plug part 630 can penetrate the hole part 640 in and out. One of the plug part 630 and the hole part 640 is provided on the side edge portion 112 of the inner surface of one of the two adjacent outer walls 110. The other of the plug part 630 and the hole part 640 is provided on the side surface of the other of the two adjacent outer walls 110. It can be understood that when the plug part 630 is provided on the side edge portion 112 of the inner surface of one of the two adjacent outer walls 110, the hole part 640 is provided on the side surface of the other outer wall 110; when the hole part 640 is provided on the side edge portion 112 of the inner surface of one of the two adjacent outer walls 110, the plug part 630 is provided on the side surface of the other outer wall 110.

[0044] In another embodiment, the fire pit further includes at least two handle parts 700. The outer wall 110 has an upper surface. The two handle parts 700 are retractably penetrated on the two upper surfaces of the two opposite outer walls 110 in the vertical direction, respectively. In use, the lower end of the handle part 700 is connected to the upper surface of the outer wall 110. The fire pit can be lifted up through the set of opposite handle parts 700 to facilitate moving the fire pit.

[0045] In the embodiment, the handle part 700 is a retractable structure. Specifically, the upper surface of the outer wall 110 is provided with a horizontal receiving groove 115, and installation holes are respectively provided at two ends of the receiving groove 115. The handle part 700 is in an inverted U shape. The lower end of the handle part 700 passes through the two installation holes and is fixedly connected to the limiting members (not shown). When in use, the handle part 700 is lifted upward, and the limiting member is pressed against the upper surface of the outer wall 110 so as to limit the position of the handle part 700, preventing the lower end of the handle part 700 from coming out of the outer wall 110. When the handle part 700 is not needed in the stowed state, the lower end of the handle part 700 falls in the gap space by gravity, and the upper end of the handle part 700 falls into the receiving groove 115 on the upper surface.
