The following description of embodiments of the present invention by referring to the accompanying drawings is intended to explain the overall invention concept of the present invention, and should not be interpreted as a limitation to the present invention.
  • Furthermore, in the detailed description below, to facilitate explanation, many specific details are expounded for a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it is obvious that one or more embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details. In other cases, any known structures and devices are graphically embodied to simplify the accompanying drawings.
  • Referring to Figs. 1-2, the projection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a housing 110, and a light source 120, a first lens 130, a forming plate 150, a patterning device 140, a motor 160 and a second lens 170, which are accommodated in the housing 110.
  • The first lens 130 is used to form parallel beams 121 from light emitted from the light source 120 located on a substrate 180. The housing 110 has a light outlet part 112 formed in the side wall 111 of the housing 110 (namely, a hole that allows light to pass through). The patterning device 140 is located downstream of the parallel beams 121 emergent from the first lens 130. The patterning device 140 has at least one first light-transmitting area 141 and is configured to be driven by the motor 160 to rotate around the centre of the patterning device 140 so that the at least one first light-transmitting area 141 is rotated to a light path where the parallel beams 121 pass through the light outlet part 112, thus forming dynamically changing projection patterns to meet diverse traffic demands and accurately convey complex traffic information. In the embodiment shown in , the motor 160 has a drive shaft 161 and the drive shaft 161 passes through the forming plate 150 and is connected to the patterning device 140 to drive the patterning device 140 to rotate.
  • Referring to , the forming plate 150 is arranged between the first lens 130 and the patterning device 140 and is provided with a forming hole 151 so that the parallel beams 121 pass through the forming hole 151 and irradiate the patterning device 140. The forming hole 151 has a length extending along the rotation direction D of the patterning device 140 to form the parallel beams 121. The formed parallel beams 121 irradiate the patterning device 140 to be patterned by the patterning device 140 to form expected dynamic patterns.
  • In the embodiment shown in , the patterning device 140 is constructed to be a light modulation film and has two first light-transmitting areas 141 and four second light-transmitting areas 142. All the light-transmitting areas 141 and 142 are constructed to be hollowed-out patterns. The shadow part on the patterning device 140 indicates a non-light-transmitting area.
  • In a specific embodiment, the first light-transmitting areas 141 have a shape that extends along the circumference of the patterning device 140. Specifically, the length of the first light-transmitting areas 141 along the rotation direction D of the patterning device 140 is greater than the length of the forming hole 151 so that the formed parallel beams 121 projected to each first light-transmitting area 141 can be uninterruptedly transmitted through the patterning device 140 to generate continuously changing dynamic patterns and form the corresponding patterned beams during the rotation of the patterning device 140.

In the application field of electric vehicles, such a combination of patterns can also be used to generate patterns, for example, to express the charging mode.
  • Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to this and that the shape, quantity and distribution of the light-transmitting areas 141 and 142 can be set according to actual requirements to obtain expected patterns.
  • The patterned beams are emergent from the housing 110 through the second lens 170 disposed at the light outlet part 112 of the housing 110. The second lens 170 can be a collimating lens that collimate the emergent patterned beams.
  • The projection device 100 according to the present invention not only can be installed in a lighting and/or signaling device for a vehicle, but can also be used for any other appropriate application scenarios.
