Embodiment 1
As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, the projecting lamp of dynamic menu can be presented according to the present embodiment comprising lamp housing 1 is located at Driving unit 3, the projection lamp that projection animation disk 2, driving projection animation disk 2 inside lamp housing 1 are rotated around self-axis line direction The lens 5 and chip controls unit 6 that source 4, the light projection that lamp housing 1 is arranged in export.
Specifically, lamp housing 1 is straight, projection animation disk 2 is equipped with 1 width advertising design A, (that is N=1), because This, after projecting the installation of animation disk 2, advertising design A is located at the side of projection 2 core of animation disk.
Projection lamp source 4 is stroboscopic lamp source, and primary at interval of 360 ° of flashings, meanwhile, every flashing is once residual in human eye vision Staying the time is T, and is 0.1 second, and the frame number of advertising design A is 10 frames.
That is, often rotating a circle in projection animation disk 2, projection lamp source 4 just flashes once, while every flashing once exists The human eye vision residence time is 0.1 second, and the revolving speed of projection animation disk 2 is 600 revs/min.
Meanwhile in this example, light projection outlet is equipped with the mounting portion 7 for being removably disposed in 1 end of lamp housing, the mounting portion The projection channel 70 projected outside lamp housing 1 for light is formed on 7.
In this example, 70 part of projection channel is unimpeded (remainder uses shading plate closing), and it is unimpeded that lens 5 are mounted on part Projection channel 70 in, and lens 5 be convex lens.
Meanwhile projecting lamp source 4 includes intercepting the lamp bracket 40 being arranged in lamp housing 1, being arranged on lamp bracket 40 and being capable of stroboscopic Shot-light 41, wherein lamp bracket 40 and lens 5 be located at projection animation disk 2 opposite sides.
In this example, shot-light 41 has multiple, and is uniformly distributed around the circumferential direction of lamp bracket 40.
It however, shot-light 41 is common LED light in implementing use process, or may be common light bulb or lamp The illuminator of pipe etc;Meanwhile for the demand of save the cost used, it is only necessary to several where corresponding projection channel 70 LED light synchronous flashing.
Again by, driving unit 3 include extend along 1 length direction of lamp housing and passed through from the middle part of lamp bracket 40 connecting shaft 30, It is drivingly connected the drive motor 31 that axis 30 is rotated around self-axis line direction, wherein drive motor 31 is hidden in lamp housing 1 and lamp bracket 40 are formed by closure section, end of the connecting shaft 30 far from closure section with project 2 center of animation disk being capable of releasably phase Connection.
Chip controls unit 6 include respectively with driving unit 3 and projection 4 circuit communication of lamp source control panel 60 and It is arranged on control panel 60 and can set projection 2 revolving speed of animation disk and every flashing once in human eye vision residence time parameter Value setting module (do not shown in figure, but it is contemplated that).
Setting module includes manually setting component and/or intelligent assignment component, wherein intelligent assignment component includes can be with User terminal connection, and the chip processor that the instruction of user terminal is conveyed to driving unit and projection lamp source respectively, user Terminal is the computer or mobile phone using APP program.
As for can be wired communication between user terminal and chip processor, be also possible to wireless communications.
Meanwhile applicant is it should be understood that flicker frequency is first set, typically between 0.1 ~ 0.4 second, when So, it if less effective, can also go to change flicker frequency.And be all that flicker frequency has first been determined under normal circumstances, then to determine it His parameter, effect is undesirable, just resets a flicker frequency, then corresponding change other parameters.
In other words, in this example in human eye vision residence time T, can also according to the width size for eventually forming image, frame number, Lens, the disk diameter for projecting animation disk, the height of projecting lamp installation and angle etc. factor, then carry out according to practical effect It adjusts.As for regulative mode, manual governing component (such as knob) can be installed, manually adjust motor speed and projecting lamp stroboscopic frequency Rate and duty ratio are adjusted after can also installing corresponding component by cell phone application.
In addition, in this example, duty ratio 50%, that is bright -0.05 second 0.05 second dark -0.05 second bright, such a circulation Process.
Certainly, which is also to need to cooperate to adjust.When lamp is bright enough, as long as flashing that may be 0.01 second, gives Human eye leaves picture, dark lighting, it may be necessary to could leave picture to human eye within 0.05 second, this is complicated with light, picture Degree is associated.
Finally, in this example, it is finally presenting the result is that: advertising design A by lens projects at the middle part of dynamic menu, Not only projected picture is rotated further by, but also advertising design A itself is also being rotated, and then according to persistence of vision, obtains continuous picture, So that dynamic menu effect is presented in projected picture.
Embodiment 2
As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, can be presented the projecting lamp of dynamic menu according to the present embodiment, structure substantially with implementation Example 1 is identical, and difference is in N=10, and therefore, stroboscopic lamp source is primary at interval of 36 ° of flashings, meanwhile, every flashing is once in human eye Persistence of vision time T is 0.1 second, and the revolving speed of projection animation disk 2 is 60 revs/min.
At this point, projection channel 70 is same as Example 1, duty ratio 30%, that is bright -0.03 second 0.03 second dark -0.03 Second bright, such a cyclic process.Meanwhile one by region corresponding to lens 5 is radiated at from the light that shot-light 41 projects On advertising design A, and make the projection of advertising design A positioned at the middle part of dynamic menu.
Embodiment 3
As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, can be presented the projecting lamp of dynamic menu according to the present embodiment, structure substantially with implementation Example 1 is identical, and difference is in N=20, and therefore, stroboscopic lamp source is primary at interval of 18 ° of flashings, meanwhile, every flashing is once in human eye The persistence of vision time is that T is 0.2 second, and the revolving speed of projection animation disk 2 is 15 revs/min, and the frame number of advertising design A is 5 frames.
At this point, projection channel 70 is in whole opening-wide states, duty ratio 10%, that is bright -0.01 second 0.01 second it is dark - 0.01 second is bright, such a cyclic process, meanwhile, the light projected from shot-light 41 is radiated at by region corresponding to lens 5 On each advertising design A, and the projection of 20 advertising design A is uniformly distributed with the circumferential direction of dynamic menu, therefore, no Only projected picture is rotated further by, and each advertising design A itself is also being rotated, and then according to persistence of vision, is obtained continuous Picture, so that dynamic menu effect is presented in projected picture.
The utility model is described in detail above, its object is to allow the personage for being familiar with this field technology can be much of that It solves the content of the utility model and is implemented, do not limit the protection scope of the present invention, it is all practical according to this Equivalent change or modification made by novel Spirit Essence should all cover within the protection scope of the present utility model.
