【 摘 要 】

The flame device design process and lift mechanism concerns were investgated. Combine qualitative and CAE simulation were proposed to fulfill its functions. Redesign structures allow the user to add fuel and cleaning base parts safely. For enhancing usability, airflow guidance structure cannot tolerate interference with the fuel intake. Within space constrain, we changed guidance channel to produce an ornamental flame with acceptable flame height. The cover is movably engaged with the base and selectively closes the opening. The lift mechanism comprises a supporting member and bearing allow moving to the predetermined height. Rigid body linkage and flow field simulated enables fine tune of geometric design. Functional test and measurement are carried out to confirm the product features. The measured average temperature of the metal chassis is 37.25 °C and that of glass is 141°C. The result shows successful simplicity mechanism and low surface temperature design.
