Background technology
Along with the mode of meeting becomes more diverse, the consumer also improves relatively for the requirement of projector equipment.Therefore, projector becomes key element indispensable in the meeting.Since liquid crystal projector was asked the city, each manufacturer of tame projector was devoted to improve the projection brightness of projector invariably, can present perfect bulletin under normal indoor light in the hope of making projector.Projector wants and can make bulletin not needing to turn off the light, draw under the normal indoor light of curtain, must the accent light effect.Therefore, employed bulb wattage is just constantly upwards soaring.In this case, need a kind of have quick heat radiating and the good light fixture of radiating effect, if can't handle heat dissipation problem perfectly, the device of projector inside may be seriously influenced.
About the radiating mode of projector, below will be divided into when opening projector according to the time that projector uses, three time point discussion such as when using projector, when closing projector.
Radiating mode when at first, using projector is to keep projector's temperature inside in certain safe range.
Then, radiating mode explanation that will be when closing projector.After projector used a period of time, projector inside and lamp were all still kept high temperature.So, on the heat dissipation design when shutdown, can make the heat abstractor of projector inside, as fan, one period set time of continuous running, after dropping to the uniform temperature value, wait closes again, to guarantee that heat radiation is fully.And the decision of this set time is normally learnt according to experiment value.
In general, if the normal projector that uses, heat abstractor should make projector fully dispel the heat when power cutoff.Yet, but always must allow the user wait for so one period set time, the power supply of projector could be turn-offed fully, quite lose time.In addition, when projector closes, generally the fan of projector inside can be set at maximum (top) speed and dispel the heat.Yet, if shortening heat radiation time and promote rotation speed of the fan, the noise that it produced will make the user feel uncomfortable.In addition, along with the variation of environment, also may differ because of using the residing environment temperature of projector, for example ambient temperature is higher or low excessively, causes the deficiency of time of heat radiation or too much, lamp or the device of projector inside is caused the infringement of permanent and continuation.That is to say that preferably in the environment, this radiating mode will be wasted user's stand-by period at radiating condition.And under the relatively poor environment of radiating condition, for example in the environment of unfavorable heat radiation or projector when using for a long time, this radiating mode just can be not enough because of the heat radiation time, and the injury lamp or the device of projector inside.
On the other hand, if undesired shutdown or interim outage when the last time is used projector, when projector opens, amount of residual heat will will be stayed projector inside.Therefore, if the user is when opening (reboot) again immediately, and general radiating mode just restarts action after all forcing projector's running earlier one period schedule time, may residue in the heat of projector inside to shed.This similarly can cause the user to lose time.And, if undesired shutdown last time may be with at present again the time interval of start for a long time, do not need so heat radiation that repeats.On the other hand, if through after long-time the use, because undesired shutdown makes that the inner high heat of projector can't dissipation, and the predetermined heat radiation time may also be not enough to abundant heat radiation, will cause the heat start unsuccessful, and projector can't start.Therefore, known projector is unable to cope with various operating position for the control method of heat radiation time, causes in the use quite inconveniently, even can cause the infringement of projector.
Therefore, the utmost point need a kind of can be according to the various operating positions of projector, and flexibly adjust cooling control method and the device of the heat radiation time of inner radiation device.
Embodiment
One first embodiment of one projector of Fig. 1 display application heat abstractor of the present invention.Heat abstractor 5 of the present invention dispels the heat in order to the electronic installation 3 to the inside of projector 1.At this, heat abstractor 5 of the present invention does not only limit and can be applied to projector, in any other similar device and equipment all can be included in.
As shown in Figure 1, this projector 1 comprises electronic installation 3 and heat abstractor 5, and has one first power supply 7 and a second source 9, required power when being used to provide electronic installation 3 with heat abstractor 5 operations respectively.When first power supply 7 turn-offs or connects with second source 9, heat abstractor 5 of the present invention will judge whether projector 1 needs heat radiation at present, and calculate a heat radiation time K simultaneously to continue 1 heat radiation to projector.Wait to dispel the heat K after the time, system will arrive the predetermined safe temperature conditions, therefore, can open or close projector 1.So, the user does not need to waste the time of any wait heat radiation, does not worry system's deficiency of can dispelling the heat yet.
Shown in figure one, heat abstractor 5 of the present invention comprises a temperature detecting unit 51, a heat-sink unit 53 and a control module 55.Electronic installation 3 then comprises a lamp 31 and an electronic circuit 33.Temperature detecting unit 51 is in order to detection system temperature inside value.At this, temperature detecting unit 51 detects one first temperature value T1 and one second temperature value T2.The temperature of the electronic installation that detects 3 when the first temperature value T1 refers to the last time shutoff first power supply 7.The temperature of the electronic installation that detects 3 before the second temperature value T2 feeling the pulse with the finger-tip.At this, control module 55 of the present invention can further comprise a storage unit (not shown), for storage default a temperature implied value T, the first temperature value T1 and the second temperature value T2.The maximum temperature difference of required decline when this temperature implied value T is represented 1 heat radiation of this projector.In this embodiment, temperature detecting unit 51 can further comprise a temperature sensor (sensor).Heat-sink unit 53 can further comprise a fan.And control device 55 can further comprise a timing unit (not shown).

Otherwise when control module 55 was judged difference X greater than temperature predetermined value T, control module 55 control heat-sink units 53 stopped electronic installation 3 is dispelled the heat.So, can turn-off second source 9.
On the other hand, when projector 1 is unlocked, at first start second source 9 to continue providing heat abstractor 5 power supplys, so that dispel the heat.This is for fear of because of using projector 1 last time, and as yet heat radiation fully and residual a large amount of down heat in projector 1 inside, influence overall operation.Temperature detecting unit 51 detects the temperature value T2 of present electronic installation 3.Control module 55 calculates the difference X that the first temperature value T1 deducts the second temperature value T2, that is the temperature safety fall of this time using institute to reach, and judges that whether difference X is greater than this temperature predetermined value T that presets.And in this embodiment, when judging that difference X is not more than temperature predetermined value T, control module 55 calculates a heat radiation time value K according to difference X, and control heat-sink unit 53 continues in the time electronic installation 3 is dispelled the heat in K.After time, the temperature of electronic installation 3 is reduced within the safe range in heat radiation K.So, can connect first power supply 7, to use projector 1.At this, the K value can be set at (T-(T2-T1)) * r.This rate of heat dissipation r promptly for this reason the inner heat-sink unit a 53 during unit temperature of descending of projector 1 need time of running.
Otherwise when control module 55 was judged difference X greater than temperature predetermined value T, control module 55 control heat-sink units 53 stopped electronic installation 3 is dispelled the heat.So, can connect first power supply 7, to use projector 1.
At this, the setting of above-mentioned heat radiation time K value only is the result of calculation of most preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention not with this as restriction.
In sum, the heat radiation time value K of heat-sink unit 53 flexibly be adjusted and be controlled to control module 55 can further according to the various operating positions of projector 1.Therefore, fully solve the unnecessary stand-by period of waste and the not enough problem of may dispelling the heat.
One second embodiment of one projector of Fig. 2 display application heat abstractor of the present invention.Second embodiment and the first embodiment difference are that temperature detecting unit 51 of the present invention further comprises an internal temperature sensor 511 and an external temperature sensor 513.At this, internal temperature sensor 511 is in order to detect the first temperature value T1 and the second temperature value T2.513 of external temperature sensors are in order to detect one the 3rd temperature value T3.Use the ambient temperature value of projector 1 before this 3rd temperature value T3 feeling the pulse with the finger-tip.
At this, storage unit is further stored an allowable value M.And control module 55 further calculates the difference Y of the first temperature value T1 and the 3rd temperature value T3, and judges that whether difference Y is greater than allowable value M.When control module 55 is judged difference Y greater than allowable value M, just make heat-sink unit 53 in a special time, electronic installation 3 is dispelled the heat.And among this embodiment, above-mentioned special time is predefined according to the general operating position institute of projector 1, does not limit the size of its value at this.
So, the present invention is except can be according to the various operating positions of projector 1, and flexibly adjusts and control outside the heat radiation time of heat-sink unit 53, more can regulate the influence of ambient temperature to projector 1 further.Therefore, fully solve the unnecessary stand-by period of waste and the not enough problem of may dispelling the heat.
