The light source 13 is used for emitting laser light, which may be infrared light, and in one example, the light source 13 may include a semiconductor substrate disposed on the substrate 111 and an emitting laser disposed on the semiconductor substrate, which may be a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL). The semiconductor substrate may be provided with a single emitting laser or with an array laser composed of a plurality of emitting lasers, and specifically, the plurality of emitting lasers may be arranged on the semiconductor substrate in a regular or irregular two-dimensional pattern.

The collimating element 14 includes an optical portion 141 and a mounting portion 142, the mounting portion 142 is used for combining with the barrel sidewall 122 to fix the collimating element 14 in the accommodating cavity 121, in the embodiment of the present invention, the combining surface 143 is an end surface of the mounting portion 142, and the optical portion 141 includes two curved surfaces located on opposite sides of the collimating element 14.

The diffractive optical element 15 is mounted on the stopper projection 123, and specifically, the diffractive optical element 15 includes the mounting surface 151, and the mounting surface 151 is combined with the first stopper surface 1232 to mount the diffractive optical element 15 on the stopper projection 123. Some regions on the mounting surface 151 may be formed with diffraction structures, the diffraction structures may correspond to the positions of the light passing holes 1231 and diffract the laser light collimated by the collimating element 14 out of the laser light patterns corresponding to the diffraction structures, and other regions on the mounting surface 151 may be planar and combined with the first limiting surface 1232. The diffractive optical element 15 can be made of glass, or, as it were, of a composite plastic (e.g., PET).
With continued reference to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the laser projection module 10 further includes a protective cover 16, and the protective cover 16 is disposed on the first surface 124. The surface of the diffractive optical element 15 opposite to the mounting surface 151 abuts against the protective cover 16.

The protective cover 16 may be made of a light-transmitting material, such as glass, Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), Polycarbonate (PC), Polyimide (PI), or the like. Since the light-transmitting materials such as glass, PMMA, PC, and PI have excellent light-transmitting properties, the protective cover 16 does not need to be provided with light-transmitting holes. In this way, the protective cover 16 can prevent the diffractive optical element 15 from coming off and can prevent the diffractive optical element 15 from being exposed to the outside of the lens barrel 12, thereby preventing the diffractive optical element 15 from being waterproofed and dusted. Of course, in other embodiments, the protective cover 16 may be provided with a light-transmitting hole, which is opposite to the optically effective area of the diffractive optical element 15 to avoid blocking the light path of the diffractive optical element 15.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the light source 13 includes an edge-emitting Laser (EEL) 131, and specifically, the EEL 131 may be a distributed feedback Laser (DFB). The edge-emitting laser 131 is columnar as a whole, and a light-emitting surface 1311 is formed on one end surface of the edge-emitting laser 131 away from the substrate assembly 11, and laser light is emitted from the light-emitting surface 1311, with the light-emitting surface 1311 facing the collimating element 14. The edge-emitting laser 131 is adopted as a light source, on one hand, the temperature drift of the edge-emitting laser 131 is smaller than that of a VCSEL array, and on the other hand, the edge-emitting laser 131 is of a single-point light-emitting structure, so that an array structure does not need to be designed, the manufacturing is simple, and the cost of the light source of the laser projection module 10 is low.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the laser projection module 10 further includes a fixing member 18, and the fixing member 18 is used for fixing the edge-emitting laser 131 on the substrate assembly 11. When the laser of the distributed feedback laser propagates, the gain of power is obtained through the feedback of the grating structure. To improve the power of the distributed feedback laser, the injection current needs to be increased and/or the length of the distributed feedback laser needs to be increased, which may increase the power consumption of the distributed feedback laser and cause serious heat generation. When the light emitting surface 1311 of the edge-emitting laser 131 faces the collimating element 14, the edge-emitting laser 131 is vertically placed, and because the edge-emitting laser 131 is of a slender strip structure, the edge-emitting laser 131 is prone to falling, shifting or shaking accidents, and therefore the edge-emitting laser 131 can be fixed by arranging the fixing member 18, and the edge-emitting laser 131 is prevented from falling, shifting or shaking accidents.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the fixing member 18 includes an encapsulant 181, and the encapsulant 181 is disposed between the edge-emitting laser 131 and the substrate assembly 11. More specifically, in the example shown in fig. 2, the side emitting laser 131 is bonded to the substrate assembly 11 on the side opposite to the light emitting surface 1311. In the example shown in fig. 3, the side surface 1312 of the edge-emitting laser 131 may be bonded to the substrate assembly 11, and the side surface 1312 around the side surface may be covered with the sealant 181, or only one of the side surfaces 1312 may be bonded to the substrate assembly 11, or some of the side surfaces may be bonded to the substrate assembly 11. Further, the encapsulant 181 may be a heat conductive adhesive to conduct heat generated by the operation of the light source 13 to the substrate assembly 11. In order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, the substrate 111 may further be formed with a heat dissipation hole 1111, heat generated by the operation of the light source 13 or the circuit board 112 may be dissipated through the heat dissipation hole 1111, and the heat dissipation hole 1111 may be filled with a thermal conductive adhesive to further improve the heat dissipation performance of the substrate assembly 11.
Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the fixing member 18 includes at least two elastic supporting frames 182 disposed on the substrate assembly 11, the at least two supporting frames 182 together form an accommodating space 183, the accommodating space 183 is used for accommodating the edge-emitting laser 131, and the at least two supporting frames 182 are used for supporting the edge-emitting laser 131 to further prevent the edge-emitting laser 131 from shaking.
In some embodiments, the substrate 111 may be omitted and the light source 13 may be directly fixed to the circuit board 112 to reduce the overall thickness of the laser projector 10.
Referring to fig. 1 and 5, the detection method of the laser projection module 10 may be applied to the laser projection module 10, and the laser projection module 10 may be the laser projection module 10 according to any one of the above embodiments or a laser projection module of the prior art, and the detection method includes:
step 02: acquiring a laser pattern;
step 04: judging whether a preset mark exists in the laser pattern; and
step 06: the diffractive optical element 15 is determined to be abnormal when the preset mark is not present in the laser light pattern.
Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 6, the detection device 60 of the laser projection module 10 may be used for the laser projection module 10, the laser projection module 10 may be the laser projection module 10 according to any one of the above embodiments or a laser projection module of the prior art, and the detection device 60 includes an obtaining module 62, a determining module 64, and a determining module 66. The acquisition module 62 is used to acquire a laser pattern. The judging module 64 is used for judging whether a preset mark exists in the laser pattern. The determination module 66 is used to determine that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal when there is no preset mark in the laser pattern.
That is, the detection method of the laser projection module 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be implemented by the detection device 60 of the laser projection module 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the step 02 can be implemented by the obtaining module 62, the step 04 can be implemented by the determining module 64, and the step 06 can be implemented by the determining module 66.
In some embodiments, the detection device 60 may refer to an application program (APP).
Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the detection device 60 may be a processor 30, and the processor 30 may be applied to the laser projection module 10 of any of the above embodiments or a laser projection module of the prior art, or the laser projection module 10 includes the processor 30. The processor 30 is configured to obtain the laser pattern, determine whether the laser pattern has a predetermined mark, and determine that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal when the laser pattern has no predetermined mark.
That is, the detection method of the laser projection module 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by the laser projection module 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the steps 02, 04, and 06 may be implemented by the processor 30.
According to the detection method of the laser projection module 10, the detection device 60 of the laser projection module 10 and the laser projection module 10 of the embodiment of the invention, whether the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal or not is determined according to whether the preset mark exists in the laser pattern or not, so that the laser projection module 10 can be turned off or the emission power of the laser projection module 10 can be reduced when the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal, the problem that the energy of laser emitted by the laser projection module 10 is too high to cause harm to the body or eyes of a user is avoided, and the safety of the use of the laser projection module 10 is improved.
Specifically, the laser pattern projected by the laser projection module 10 is formed after the laser passes through the diffractive optical element 15, and the shape of the laser pattern is determined by the diffractive structure of the diffractive optical element 15. When the diffractive optical element 15 is normal, the laser makes the laser pattern a predetermined shape through a normal diffractive structure, and a preset mark exists in the laser pattern, where the preset mark may be a mark such as a predetermined point, line, pattern (e.g., circle, triangle, etc.) in the laser pattern. When the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal (e.g., broken, tilted, peeled, etc.), the diffractive structure may be changed, so that the laser pattern may also be changed, and the preset mark may disappear. Therefore, whether the preset mark exists in the laser pattern can be judged, and when the preset mark exists in the laser pattern, the diffractive optical element 15 is normal; when the preset mark is not present in the laser pattern, it indicates that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal. When the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal, the laser projection module 10 is abnormal.
In some embodiments, the laser pattern may be deformed after being modulated by the subject, and when the preset mark exists in the laser pattern, the preset mark can still be recognized.
In some embodiments, the laser projection module 10 may project the laser onto a plane, so that the obtained laser pattern is not substantially deformed, thereby facilitating the subsequent determination of whether the preset mark exists.
In certain embodiments, step 02 may be re-entered if the diffractive optical element 15 is determined to be normal when the predetermined indicia is present in the laser pattern.
Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, step 04 includes:
step 042: judging whether a preset mark exists in each frame of laser pattern;
step 062: the diffractive optical element 15 is determined to be abnormal when a preset mark is not present in any one frame of the laser pattern.
Referring again to fig. 6, in some embodiments, the determining module 64 is configured to determine whether a preset mark exists in each frame of the laser pattern. The determination module 66 is used for determining that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal when the preset mark does not exist in any frame of laser pattern.
Referring again to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the processor 30 is configured to determine whether a predetermined mark exists in each frame of the laser pattern and determine that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal when the predetermined mark does not exist in any frame of the laser pattern.
That is, step 042 may be implemented by decision module 64 or processor 30, and step 062 may be implemented by determination module 66 or processor 30.
Whether the diffraction optical element 15 is abnormal or not can be detected in real time by judging whether the preset mark exists in each frame of laser pattern or not, so that the laser projection module 10 is closed in real time or the transmitting power of the laser projection module 10 is reduced, and the use safety of the laser projection module 10 is further improved.
When no preset mark exists in any frame of laser pattern, the diffraction optical element 15 is determined to be abnormal, so that whether the diffraction optical element 15 is abnormal or not can be quickly determined, and the use safety of the laser projection module 10 is further improved.
In some embodiments, the diffractive optical element 15 is determined to be abnormal when a preset mark is not present in the laser patterns for a consecutive preset number of frames. In this way, it is possible to reduce or avoid erroneous determination as to whether or not the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal.
Specifically, the preset frame number may be pre-stored in the laser projection module 10 or set by a user, and is not specifically limited herein, for example, 3 frames, 5 frames, 10 frames, and the like. For example, if the preset number of frames is 3, it is determined that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal only if the preset mark does not exist in all the consecutive 3 frames of laser patterns, and it is determined that the diffractive optical element 15 is normal if 2 frames of laser patterns do not exist in the consecutive 3 frames of laser patterns and the preset mark exists in the remaining 1 frame of laser patterns.
Referring to fig. 9, in some embodiments, the predetermined mark is a single predetermined mark, and the single predetermined mark can reduce the workload of the detection device 60 or the processor 30 to determine whether the predetermined mark exists in the laser pattern, so as to quickly determine whether the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal.
Referring to fig. 10 and 11, in some embodiments, the default flag is plural, and step 04 includes:
step 044: judging whether a plurality of preset marks exist in the laser pattern;
step 064: determining that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal when at least one preset mark in the laser pattern is absent.
Referring to fig. 6 and 10, in some embodiments, the number of the preset marks is multiple, and the determining module 64 is configured to determine whether there are multiple preset marks in the laser pattern; the determination module 66 is configured to determine that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal when at least one preset mark in the laser pattern is not present.
Referring to fig. 7 and 10, in some embodiments, the predetermined marks are plural, and the processor 30 is configured to determine whether the laser patterns include plural predetermined marks and determine that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal when at least one of the predetermined marks does not exist in the laser patterns.
That is, step 044 may be implemented by determining module 64 or processor 30, and step 064 may be implemented by determining module 66 or processor 30.
The preset marks can be located at a plurality of positions in the laser pattern, so that a plurality of areas of the diffractive optical element 15 can be detected, whether the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal or not can be judged more comprehensively, and the accuracy of judging whether the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal or not is improved.
Specifically, the preset marks are plural, and it is understood that the number of the preset marks is two or more. In the example of fig. 10, the number of preset flags is 4.
Determining that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal when at least one preset marking in the laser pattern is absent can be understood as determining that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal when one preset marking in the laser pattern is absent or determining that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal when a plurality of preset markings in the laser pattern are absent. In one embodiment, the number of the preset marks is 4, and if the preset marks are not detected in the laser pattern, the 4 preset marks do not exist, and it can be determined that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal. In another embodiment, the number of the preset marks is 4, and if 3 preset marks are detected in the laser pattern, 1 preset mark does not exist, and it can also be determined that the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal. In yet another embodiment, the number of the preset marks is 4, and if 4 preset marks are detected in the laser pattern, all the preset marks exist, and it can be determined that the diffractive optical element 15 is normal.
Referring to fig. 9, 10 and 12, in some embodiments, the predetermined mark is located at least one corner or edge of the laser pattern. The preset mark at the corner or the edge can more accurately determine whether the diffractive optical element 15 is abnormal.
Specifically, when the diffractive optical element 15 is assembled, the edge region of the diffractive optical element 15 generally collides with the mounting position, and therefore, when the diffractive optical element 15 is subjected to an external force, the edge region of the diffractive optical element 15 is subjected to a large stress, and the edge region of the diffractive optical element 15 is relatively easily broken. The edge area of the diffractive optical element 15 corresponds to the corner or edge of the laser pattern, so that when the edge area of the diffractive optical element 15 is broken, the preset mark at the corner or edge of the laser pattern can be accurately known.
In some embodiments, the corners or edges of the laser pattern may refer to areas of the laser pattern that are more than a preset distance from the center of the laser pattern.
With continued reference to fig. 9 and 10, the laser pattern has a rectangular shape, the corners of the laser pattern may refer to the four corners of the rectangle, and the edges of the laser pattern may refer to the upper edge, the lower edge, the left edge, and the right edge of the rectangle.
Referring to fig. 12, the laser pattern is circular, and the edge of the laser pattern may be an annular edge region.
Of course, the laser pattern may have other shapes, and the preset mark may also be disposed at a corner or an edge of the laser pattern having other shapes.
In some embodiments, the predetermined mark is located at least one corner or edge of the laser pattern, which may be understood as the predetermined mark being located at one corner or edge of the laser pattern, or the predetermined mark being located at a plurality of corners or edges of the laser pattern.
Referring to fig. 9 and 12, in one embodiment, the predetermined mark is a single predetermined mark, and the single predetermined mark is located at one corner or edge of the laser pattern.
Referring to fig. 10, in another embodiment, the predetermined marks are plural (e.g. 4), and the plural predetermined marks are located at corners or edges of the laser pattern (e.g. 4 predetermined marks are located at four corners of the laser pattern).
Of course, in other embodiments, the preset mark may be located at other positions of the laser pattern besides the corners and edges, for example, at the center of the laser pattern, which is not limited herein.
