Technical Field
The utility model relates to a laser projector technical field especially relates to a laser projector laser intensity abnormity protection device.
Background
Laser projectors use a laser beam to transmit a picture. The optical components of the laser projector mainly comprise a red-green-blue three-color light valve, a beam combining X prism, a projection lens and a driving light valve. There are red, green and blue lasers in the laser projector.
Laser is expanded by a corresponding optical element and a processing chip in the machine and then is transmitted to an X prism to integrate the three beams of laser, and then the integrated laser is transmitted to a projection curtain by a projection objective to complete the display process of the whole laser projector; and the laser projector belongs to more mature equipment.
Laser light source projectors can be classified into laser light source liquid crystal projectors and laser light source DLP projectors according to optical imaging devices.
The optical engine of the laser light source liquid crystal projector mainly comprises a light splitting unit, a red, green and blue three-color liquid crystal plate, a beam combining X prism and a projection lens. White light emitted by the laser light source is divided into red, green and blue light by the light dividing unit; the red, green and blue light respectively transmits the three-color liquid crystal plate to form a red, green and blue three-color image, is mixed into a color image through the beam combining X prism, and is projected onto a projection screen through the projection lens.
The optical engine of the laser light source DLP projector mainly comprises a light splitting color wheel, a DMD unit and a projection lens. White light emitted by a laser light source is changed into alternate red, green, blue and yellow multicolor light through a light splitting color wheel; red, green, blue and yellow multicolor light alternately irradiates the DMD board, alternate red, green, blue and yellow multicolor images are reflected, the alternate red, green, blue and yellow multicolor images are projected onto a projection screen through a projection lens, and finally, the alternate red, green, blue and yellow multicolor images are synthesized into a color image in the brain and the sea after being observed by human eyes.
Laser light source projector belongs to more mature equipment.
The laser light source of the current laser light source projector uses a laser light emitting diode. The laser light emitting diode as a light source of the projector has the characteristics of high brightness, high efficiency, long service life and the like.
The laser beam has concentrated energy and high intensity, has certain danger, and the laser with different intensities can cause dazzling and transient blindness and even can cause permanent damage to the eyes and the skin of people in the field. There are strict international regulations on the safety and use of laser products. The Chinese national standard GB7247.1-2012 laser product safety corresponding to the international IEC60825-1 standard specifies the safety class (grade) of laser products, a measuring method and a labeling method. According to the output laser intensity, the following categories are classified:
class 1 laser products: no particular reference is made. The output laser light intensity is low and is considered to be substantially safe.
Class 2 laser products: label "do not look directly at the beam". Direct vision of the light beam can damage the eye.
3R type laser products: the notation "avoid direct illumination of the eye". Direct light can damage the eye.
3B laser product: the label "avoid beam illumination", direct light can damage the eyes and skin.
Class 4 laser products: the notation "avoid the eye or skin from being illuminated by direct or scattered radiation". In the highest category, the output laser intensity is high and scattered light can cause damage to the eye and skin.
Therefore, different types of laser products have different requirements on use and installation places in order to avoid harm to human bodies. If the laser intensity suddenly rises to change to the high class in the case of low class product use, it may cause damage to the eyes or skin of the person present.

The laser light source projector is provided with an overcurrent protection circuit on a power supply of a laser light source, so that the abnormal rise of power supply current is prevented, and the power of laser emitted by a laser light emitting diode is increased abnormally.
However, when the laser light source projector works, if a power supply circuit of the laser light source fails, the output current of the power supply is out of control, the output current is abnormally increased, and due to the out of control, an overcurrent protection circuit arranged in the circuit cannot limit excessive current output, so that the power of the laser light source power supply current is abnormally increased, the power of laser emitted by the laser light emitting diode is abnormally increased, and finally the projection light output of the laser light source projector exceeds the specification value of a product, for example, a 3R type laser product can be increased to a 3B type or a 4 type laser product in a short time, and the damage capability is increased.
Because the laser light emitting diode in the projector has a good heat dissipation environment, after an abnormality occurs, the laser light emitting diode can be burnt out due to excessive heat generated by overcurrent after several seconds or even ten and several seconds, and laser emission is stopped. Excessive light output during an abnormal to laser led burn out can cause damage to the body, and particularly the eyes, of the person being irradiated, which can be permanent damage.
Based on this, the utility model designs a laser projector laser intensity unusual protection device to solve above-mentioned problem.
