Abstract

The present invention relates to a stereo flexible charcoal bed and an electric fireplace with a flexible charcoal bed comprising a vessel with at least one transparent bottom, a number of charcoals disposed in the vessel comprising a number of movable light-holding charcoals with a plurality of transparent surfaces, an imaging mechanism disposed on the charcoals. The essential effect of the present invention is to solve the monotone charcoal flame, bad sense of stereo and poor visual effect of the exiting electric fireplace, meanwhile, the problems such as bad simulative effect, and lack of reality and the sense of stereo are solved as well. The charcoal flame structure of the present invention could change arbitrarily and the light-spots of burning flame are sparkling intermittently with bright and shade. The visual effect and the authenticity are both perfect.

Claims
