Specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with attached drawing, the present invention will be further described.
Fig. 1 schematically shows the first embodiment of color wheel device 10 according to the present invention.As shown in Figure 1, colour wheel fills
Setting 10 includes shell 11, is formed with airflow channel in shell 11, the color block component in airflow channel is arranged in and for color
The air stream drives component of wheel assembly cooling.Same as the prior art, color block component includes motor 13 and is fixedly connected with motor 13
Colour wheel disk 14, be provided with fluorescent powder on colour wheel disk 14, to be emitted onto exciting light thereon be converted into other wavelength by
Laser emitting.The rotation of motor 13 can drive colour wheel disk 14 to rotate around central shaft.Color wheel device 10 further includes the technology of this field
Other accessories known to personnel, for simplicity, which is not described herein again.
Air stream drives component includes the first fan 21 being arranged in airflow channel.As shown in Figure 1, airflow channel includes the
One path sections 22, the second path sections 23, connect first path part 22 end and the second path sections 23 starting point
First Transition part 24 and connection 23 end of the second path sections and 22 starting point of first path part the second transition portion
25.First path part 22 and the second path sections 23 can general parallel orientation, and First Transition part 24 and the second transition portion 25
It may be selected to be generally perpendicular to first path part 22 or the second path sections 23.Four path sections head and the tail connections form perforation
Airflow channel, in this way when the first fan 21 driving wind in airflow channel internal circulation flow, wind can brush colour wheel disk 14 and mention
The gaseous exchange speed on its high surface, the gas with heat flow in airflow channel and are given off heat by shell 11
It goes, therefore preferably shell 11 is made of the metal or ceramics of good heat conductivity.The airflow channel of perforation also avoids in shell 11
There is air circulation dead zone in portion, improves air heat-exchange efficiency.First fan 21 may be selected to be aerofoil fan or centrifugal fan.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the first fan 21 and color block component are arranged in first path part 22, and should
The cross sectional inner diameter of first path part 22 is successively decreased from the first fan 21 to the direction gradient of color block component.Specifically, first
Path sections 22 include the big end 50 being relatively large in diameter, the lesser small end 52 of diameter and the big end 50 of connection and small end 52
Tapered portion 51, as a whole, first path part 22 be horn shape.Fan 21 is mounted in big end 50, small end
52 for assembling and sending out wind.In a preferred embodiment, 22 the prolonging with air-flow of small end 52 of first path part
The surface that direction enables air-flow vertically to blow to colour wheel disk 14 from the first fan 21 perpendicular to the surface of colour wheel disk 14 is stretched, this
The speed air flow on 14 surface of colour wheel disk can be greatlyd improve, to improve Air Heat Transfer Coefficient here.
Preferably, the first fan 21 is not weighed relative to 14 eccentric setting of colour wheel disk, and with the light inlet 40 on shell 11
It is folded, in this way in synchronization, region and the colour wheel disk 14 of the air-flow perpendicular contact of colour wheel disk 14 generated with the first fan 21
The region of stimulated luminescence irradiation is not overlapped, this helps to improve image quality.As described in Figure 1, gas caused by the first fan 21
The position that the stream position being in contact with colour wheel disk 14 and the light and color wheel disc 14 projected are in contact is relative in colour wheel disk 14
Mandrel line and diametrically, it means that the wind position being in contact with colour wheel disk 14 caused by the first fan 21 and projected
The position that light and color wheel disc 14 is in contact is in the both ends of the same diameter of colour wheel disk 14.
In order to improve heat dissipation performance, the inner wall of the second path sections 23 is equipped with one or more intervals being parallel to each other
Plate, airflow direction of these spacing boards in the second path sections 23 extend, and are divided into multiple subchannels being separated from each other.
These subchannels increase heat dissipation area, facilitate heat and shed quickly through the wall of shell 11.But multiple subchannels are set
Air flow resistance can be caused to increase and cause air flowing slowly, in this case, air stream drives component further includes setting
The second fan 26 in First Transition part 24, to overcome this resistance, certain driving air-flow enters the second path sections 23.The
Two fans 26 are alternatively chosn to aerofoil fan or centrifugal fan.In a preferred embodiment, second is in shell 11
The outside of path sections 23 is integrally formed with external radiator 27, for example, radiating fin.
Fig. 2 schematically shows the second embodiment of color wheel device 10 according to the present invention.This embodiment and Fig. 1
Embodiment be substantially the same, difference is only that: external radiator 27 is configured to standalone module, in external radiator 27 and shell
Semiconductor cooler 28 is provided between 11.Due to peltier effect (Peltier effect), the semiconductor in power on condition
The temperature in the face of refrigerator 28 being in contact with shell 11 can reduce, even lower than the surface temperature of shell 11, therefore can be into one
Step improves heat dissipation performance, to reduce the temperature of colour wheel.It is big in the embodiment of other details and Fig. 1 in the embodiment
Body is identical, and detailed description is omitted herein.
Fig. 3 schematically shows the 3rd embodiment of color wheel device 10 according to the present invention.This embodiment and Fig. 1
Embodiment be substantially the same, difference is only that: having installation in the regional structure corresponding to the second path sections 23 of shell 11
Hole 30, the settable heat-sink unit in mounting hole 30.Heat-sink unit includes the built-in radiator 31 being in airflow channel, main body
External radiator 27 and setting outside shell between built-in radiator 31 and external radiator 27 and distinguish face contact
Semiconductor cooler 28.As shown in figure 3, built-in radiator 31 is arranged in the region of the second path sections 23 and guarantees second
Path sections 23 are unimpeded.
The flow path of air-flow is described below according to Fig. 1 to 3.
As shown in the arrow in Fig. 1 to 3, under the action of the first fan 21, air-flow is vertical by first path part 22
Ground reaches the surface of colour wheel disk 14, takes away its heat and is cooled down.Then, air-flow can cross the motor that colour wheel disk 14 reaches rear portion
13 to motor 13 to cool down.It should be noted that color block component is arranged so that most air stream from the top of colour wheel disk 14
It crosses, only minimal amount of air stream can flow through simultaneously from the front (that is, between light inlet 40 and colour wheel disk 14) of colour wheel disk 14
It is crossed from below, this helps to improve image quality.Under the action of the second fan 26, wind can enter the second path sections
23, into external environment gas flow temperature is reduced the heat transfer in air in this section.After the first fan 21
Portion will form negative pressuren zone, and air-flow after temperature reduces will receive the first fan 21 after moving out from the second path sections 23
Swabbing action and be again introduced into first path part 22, carry out the heat dissipation of next round.
