Optionally, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the optical engine 000 may further include: a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) 600, an illumination assembly (not shown) and a galvanometer (not shown).
In the embodiment of the present application, the illumination assembly and the galvanometer in the optical engine 000 are both located in the housing 100 and connected to the housing 100. The dmd 600 in the optical engine 000 is located outside the housing 100 and connected to the housing 100. For example, the housing 100 has a light hole (not shown), and the light receiving surface 601 of the dmd 600 may face the light hole in the housing 100 after the dmd 600 is connected to the housing 100.
In the present application, the illumination assembly in the optical engine 000 is used to provide an illumination beam; the digital micromirror device 600 in the optical engine 000 is used for modulating the illumination light beam provided by the illumination assembly with an image signal to form a modulated light beam; the galvanometer in the optical engine 000 is usually disposed in the optical path between the dmd 600 and the projection lens, and the galvanometer is electrically driven to perform periodic movement at four positions, and modulated light beams passing through the galvanometer sequentially enter the projection lens in a staggered manner. Wherein the projection lens may be connected to the optical engine 000.
For example, as shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a housing in an optical engine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The housing 100 of the optical engine 000 has a plurality of positioning posts 103 connected to the projection lens.
In an embodiment of the present application, the projection lens may include: the lens holder, and the speculum and a plurality of lens group of being located in the lens holder. The connection between the optical engine 000 and the projection lens is realized by the connection between the housing 100 in the optical engine 000 and the lens mount in the projection lens. In the present application, the connection between the housing 100 in the optical engine 000 and the lens mount in the projection lens is as follows:
the housing 100 of the optical engine 000 has a plurality of positioning posts 103, the lens holder of the projection lens has a plurality of positioning holes, and the positioning holes correspond to the positioning posts 103 one by one. Each positioning hole on the lens mount can be sleeved on the corresponding positioning column 103 on the housing 100 to realize the connection between the lens mount and the housing 100.
In order to improve the firmness of the connection between the lens holder and the housing 100, the lens holder and the housing 100 may be connected by a plurality of screws. The screws correspond to the positioning posts 103 in the housing 100 one by one, and correspond to the positioning holes in the lens holder one by one. Every reference column 103 in this casing 100 has the internal thread, so, every screw can pass on the lens mount after the locating hole that corresponds with the reference column 103 threaded connection who corresponds in the casing 100 to realized being connected between lens mount and the casing 100, and can guarantee that the fastness of being connected between this lens mount and the casing 100 is higher.
In the related art, when a laser projection device works, a projection lens and an optical engine in the laser projection device both generate thermal expansion along with the rise of working temperature, and the deformation of the projection lens after thermal expansion is usually different from the deformation of the optical engine after thermal expansion, so that the distance between a lens group in the projection lens and a light receiving surface of a digital micromirror device in the optical engine changes, and further the focal plane of the lens group in the projection lens shifts, and the projection lens generates a temperature drift phenomenon, and finally a picture projected by the laser projection device generates a serious fuzzy distortion phenomenon, thereby seriously affecting the viewing experience of a user.
In the present application, in order to further improve the display effect of the image projected by the laser projection apparatus in which the optical engine 000 is located, it is necessary to ensure that the positional relationship between the light receiving surface 601 of the dmd 600 in the optical engine 000 and the lens group in the projection lens is always consistent, for example, it is necessary to ensure that the focal plane of the lens group in the projection lens is always located on the light receiving surface 601 of the dmd 600.
Therefore, when the laser projection apparatus works, the deformation of the optical engine 000 after thermal expansion is matched with the deformation of the projection lens after thermal expansion, so that the distance that the projection lens moves to the direction close to the digital micromirror device 600 in the optical engine 000 on the focal plane of the lens set after thermal expansion is the same as the distance that the digital micromirror device 600 moves to the direction far away from the projection lens after thermal expansion of the optical engine 000. Further, the focal plane of the lens group in the projection lens can be ensured to be always located on the light receiving surface 601 of the digital micromirror device 600, so that the temperature drift phenomenon of the projection lens is avoided, the display effect of the image projected by the laser projection device is further improved, and the watching experience of a user is better.
The magnitude of the deformation of the optical engine 000 after thermal expansion is related to the operating temperature of the optical engine 000, and the magnitude of the deformation of the projection lens after thermal expansion is also related to the operating temperature of the projection lens. Therefore, when the deformation of the optical engine 000 after thermal expansion is required to be matched with the deformation of the projection lens after thermal expansion, the working temperature of the optical engine 000 and the working temperature of the laser projection device only need to be matched with each other when the laser projection device works. That is, it is necessary to ensure that the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 and the operating temperature of the laser projection apparatus correspond to each other.
It should be noted that the corresponding relationship between the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 and the operating temperature of the laser projection apparatus may be obtained in advance through an operation simulation experiment performed on the laser projection apparatus. For example, if the operating temperature of the projection lens is 45 ℃ (celsius degrees), when the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 is 50 ℃, the distance that the projection lens moves toward the digital micromirror device 600 in the optical engine 000 at the focal plane of the thermally expanded lens set is the same as the distance that the digital micromirror device 600 moves away from the projection lens after the optical engine 000 is thermally expanded.
For this reason, in the embodiment of the present application, when the laser projection apparatus where the optical engine 000 is located operates, the controller 300 in the optical engine 000 needs to obtain not only the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 but also the current operating temperature of the projection lens, so that the controller can adjust the rotation speed of the fan assembly 200 based on the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 and the current operating temperature of the projection lens to adjust the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 to the operating temperature corresponding to the current operating temperature of the projection lens. Therefore, the distance that the projection lens moves towards the direction close to the digital micromirror device 600 in the optical engine 000 at the focal plane of the lens group after being heated and expanded can be ensured to be the same as the distance that the digital micromirror device 600 moves towards the direction far away from the projection lens after being heated and expanded by the optical engine 000, so that the focal plane of the lens group in the projection lens is always located on the light receiving surface 601 of the digital micromirror device 600, and the better display effect of the picture projected by the laser projection equipment is ensured.
For example, as shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is a block diagram of a structure of an optical engine provided in an embodiment of the present application. The optical engine 000 may further include: and a second temperature detector 700 electrically connected to the controller 300. The second temperature detector 700 is used for detecting the operating temperature of the projection lens. In the present application, since the lens mount in the projection lens is usually made of plastic, which has poor thermal conductivity, in order for the second temperature detector 700 to be able to more accurately detect the operating temperature of the projection lens, the second temperature detector 700 needs to be located in the projection lens, for example, the second temperature detector 700 may be installed in the lens mount in the projection lens. In this way, the temperature inside the lens mount detected by the second temperature detector 700 is the working temperature of the projection lens.
In this application, when the laser projection apparatus in which the optical engine 000 is located operates, the first temperature detector 400 in the optical engine 000 may send the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 detected by the first temperature detector to the controller 300, and at the same time, the second temperature detector 700 in the optical engine 000 may send the current operating temperature of the projection lens detected by the second temperature detector to the controller 300. The controller 300 may simultaneously receive the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 detected by the first temperature detector 400 and the current operating temperature of the projection lens detected by the second temperature detector 700.
As such, the controller 300 may be configured to: after determining that the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 detected by the first temperature detector 400 is higher than the temperature threshold, the heat dissipation fan 200 is controlled to blow air towards the air inlet 101 of the housing 100 to reduce the operating temperature of the optical engine 000. And, the controller 300 may be further configured to: after controlling the heat dissipation fan 200 to blow air into the air inlet 101 of the housing 100, based on the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 detected by the first temperature detector 400 and the current operating temperature of the projection lens detected by the second temperature detector 700, the rotation speed of the heat dissipation fan 200 is adjusted to adjust the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation fan 200 for the optical engine 000, so that the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 is reduced to the operating temperature corresponding to the current operating temperature of the projection lens.
In the embodiment of the present application, the controller 300 may be configured to: after the current operating temperature of the projection lens is detected by the second temperature detector 700, a target operating temperature corresponding to the current operating temperature of the projection lens is determined according to a predetermined correspondence relationship between the operating temperature of the projection lens and the operating temperature of the optical engine 000, and the rotation speed of the cooling fan 200 is adjusted based on a temperature difference between the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 and the target operating temperature, so as to adjust the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 to the target operating temperature. The rotation speed of the cooling fan 200 is positively correlated to the temperature difference between the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 and the target operating temperature.
In the present application, the correspondence relationship between the operating temperature of the projection lens and the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 is experimentally determined in advance, and the correspondence relationship between the operating temperature of the projection lens and the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 may be stored in a designated memory address in the controller 300. In this way, after the controller 300 detects the current operating temperature of the projection lens through the second temperature detector 700, the target operating temperature corresponding to the current operating temperature of the projection lens may be determined according to the stored correspondence relationship between the operating temperature of the projection lens and the operating temperature of the optical engine 000. Then, the controller 300 needs to adjust the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 to the target operating temperature by controlling the rotation speed of the cooling fan 200.
For example, after the controller 300 determines the target operating temperature corresponding to the current operating temperature of the projection lens, when it determines that the temperature difference between the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 and the target operating temperature is large, the controller 300 may increase the rotation speed of the cooling fan 200 to increase the cooling efficiency of the cooling fan 200 for the optical engine 000, so that the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 can be quickly reduced to the target operating temperature. When it is determined that the temperature difference between the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 and the target operating temperature is small, the controller 300 may decrease the rotation speed of the heat dissipation fan 200 to reduce the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation fan 200 to the optical engine 000, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 is lower than the target operating temperature due to an excessively fast decrease speed of the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000.
In other alternative implementations, a correspondence relationship between the rotation speed of the cooling fan 200 and the temperature difference between the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 and the target operating temperature may be determined in advance, so that after the controller 300 determines the temperature difference between the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 and the target operating temperature, the cooling fan 200 may be controlled to rotate at a corresponding rotation speed based on the correspondence relationship and the temperature difference, so that the cooling fan 200 can adjust the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 to the target operating temperature more quickly.
Optionally, the controller 300 in the optical engine 000 is further configured to: in the process of adjusting the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 by the cooling fan 200, if it is determined that the temperature variation of the optical engine 000 is smaller than the temperature variation threshold within the specified time period, the rotation speed of the cooling fan 200 is increased.
For example, during the adjustment of the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 by the heat dissipation fan 200, the first temperature detector 400 in the optical engine 000 can continuously detect the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000. Accordingly, the controller 300 in the optical engine 000 may determine whether the temperature variation of the optical engine 000 is less than the temperature variation threshold for a specified time period. When the controller 300 determines that the temperature variation of the optical engine 000 is smaller than the temperature variation threshold within the specified time period, which indicates that the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation fan 200 on the optical engine 000 is poor, at this time, the rotation speed of the heat dissipation fan 200 may be increased to improve the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation fan 200 on the optical engine 000, so that the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 can be quickly reduced to the target operating temperature.
For example, assuming that the specified time period is 20 seconds, and the temperature change threshold is 0.5 ℃, in the process of adjusting the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 by the cooling fan 200, when the controller 300 in the optical engine 000 determines that the temperature change amount of the optical engine 000 is less than 0.5 ℃ within 20 seconds through the first temperature detector 400, the controller 300 may increase the rotation speed of the cooling fan 200 to improve the cooling effect of the cooling fan 200 on the optical engine 000.
Optionally, the controller 300 in the optical engine 000 is further configured to: after the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 is adjusted to the target operating temperature, the rotation speed of the heat dissipation fan 200 may be adjusted to be low.
In the embodiment of the present application, after the cooling fan 200 in the optical engine 000 adjusts the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 to the target operating temperature, the controller 300 in the optical engine 000 may adjust the rotation speed of the cooling fan 200 to be low, so that the cooling fan 200 operates at a low rotation speed. The cooling fan 200 operating at a low speed can not only prevent the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 from continuously increasing, but also prevent the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 from decreasing, so as to maintain the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 at the target operating temperature.
It should be noted that, after the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 is adjusted to the target operating temperature, the rotation speed of the cooling fan 200 in the optical engine 000 may be in positive correlation with the target operating temperature, and the corresponding relationship between the rotation speed of the cooling fan 200 and the target operating temperature may be obtained in advance through a simulation experiment. In this way, after the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 is adjusted to the target operating temperature, the controller 300 in the optical engine 000 may query the corresponding relationship between the rotation speed of the heat dissipation fan 200 and the target operating temperature, determine a specified rotation speed corresponding to the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 based on the corresponding relationship, and adjust the rotation speed of the heat dissipation fan 200 to the specified rotation speed, so that the operating temperature of the optical engine 000 is maintained at the target operating temperature.
It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 is higher than the target operating temperature corresponding to the current operating temperature of the projection lens, and the heat dissipation fan 200 in the optical engine 000 needs to dissipate heat of the optical engine 000. In other possible implementations, the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 may also be lower than the target operating temperature corresponding to the current operating temperature of the projection lens. In this case, the controller 300 in the optical engine 000 needs to control the heat dissipation fan 200 to stop operating, so that the current operating temperature of the optical engine 000 is increased to the target operating temperature.
Optionally, the controller 200 in the optical engine 000 in the above embodiment may be: a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Microprocessor (MPU), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) or a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a modem and the like.
