[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention decomposes a light beam from a light source into three color light beams of red, blue and green, and makes each of these color light beams correspond to video information through a light valve composed of a liquid crystal panel. The present invention relates to a projection display device that modulates, modulates, modulates, and modulates, the modulated light flux of each color, and projects the enlarged light on a screen via a projection lens. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cooling mechanism for efficiently cooling the inside of such a projection display device.

2. Description of the Related Art A projection display apparatus basically comprises the following components. That is, a light source lamp unit, an optical lens unit that optically processes a light beam emitted from the light source unit so that a color image corresponding to video information can be combined, and a projection lens that projects the combined light beam on a screen It is a circuit board group on which a unit, a power supply unit, a control circuit and the like are mounted. Except for the projection lens unit, each of these parts is arranged in the outer case of the apparatus. The projection lens unit is generally mounted so as to protrude from the front of the apparatus. An operation member such as a power switch, a light receiving window for remote control, and the like are arranged on a surface of the outer case.

In this type of projection display device, a cooling mechanism for cooling a light source lamp unit, a power supply unit, and the like as internal heat sources is incorporated. Generally, after the outside air is introduced by the intake fan from the ventilation hole of the outer case and the outside air flows through the internal heat source,
Air is exhausted to the outside from an exhaust port formed in the outer case by an exhaust fan.

[0004]

If the projection type display device is made small and compact so as to be portable and convenient, the internal space becomes narrow and the flow path of the cooling air may not be sufficiently secured. In addition, it is desirable that the power supply unit and the like be covered with a shield plate in order to prevent generation of noise. In this case, the inside of the power supply unit is a space isolated from other parts. For this reason, the cooling air does not sufficiently flow inside the power supply unit, resulting in inefficient cooling. Furthermore, if the external air inlet that is opened in the outer case is clogged, sufficient external air cannot be introduced into the inside of the apparatus, which causes a problem of insufficient cooling operation.

An object of the present invention is to realize a projection display apparatus having a cooling mechanism capable of efficiently cooling various parts inside the apparatus, paying attention to such points.

[0006]

The cooling mechanism of the projection type display device according to the present invention basically has a cooling air inlet formed in an outer case of the device and an external air from the cooling air inlet formed in the case.

Have.

A feature of the present invention is that a lamp case of a light source lamp unit, which is a heat source, is provided with a ventilation hole for introducing cooling air on a front surface in an optical axis direction and an exhaust port on a rear surface in an optical axis direction. A mouth is formed, and the left, right, upper and lower peripheral surfaces are substantially closed. In addition, an arrangement is employed in which the suction side of the exhaust fan is located behind the exhaust port formed in the lamp case.

Another feature of the present invention is that an auxiliary intake fan for forcibly introducing cooling air into the power supply unit, which is a heat source, and air introduced into the unit by the auxiliary intake fan. The unit is equipped with a discharge port that discharges out of the unit.

Further, a feature of the present invention is that the air intake port is formed in the bottom wall of the outer case, and the intake fan is disposed immediately above the air intake port so that the cooling air flow is directed upward. And a second air inlet is formed in the upper wall of the exterior case corresponding to the position of the air intake fan. The optical lens unit is located between the second intake port and the intake fan, and the optical unit includes
An air flow passage is formed that guides outside air introduced from the second intake port to the suction side of the intake fan and guides air blown out from the intake fan to the second intake port side. It is like that.

Here, the periphery of the suction fan is covered with a sealing plate to form an air passage for guiding the air that has dropped through the air flow passage of the optical lens unit to the suction side of the intake fan. preferable.

[0011]

According to the present invention, at least a part of the airflow introduced into the inside of the apparatus from the intake fan flows into the inside of the lamp case from the side of the vent on the front surface of the lamp case along the optical axis. After passing around the light source lamp arranged in the case, it is sucked from the exhaust port formed on the rear side to the exhaust fan side and discharged to the outside. As described above, the cooling air flow flows into the lamp case along the optical axis direction and flows along the periphery thereof.
The parts such as the light source lamp and the reflector inside are efficiently cooled.

Further, in the present invention, at least a part of the airflow introduced into the apparatus from the intake fan is forcibly introduced into the power supply unit by the auxiliary intake fan, and the inside of the unit and the power supply unit are removed. The air is sucked toward the exhaust fan through the outlet and discharged to the outside. Therefore, even if the power supply unit is a closed space covered by a shield case or the like, sufficient air can be flowed inside and the space can be sufficiently cooled.

Further, according to the present invention, a second intake port is formed, and the air introduced from the second intake port is guided to the intake fan side. Therefore, even when the intake port on the suction side of the intake fan is clogged, sufficient intake can be introduced from the second intake port. Therefore, the inside can always be sufficiently cooled.

(Light Source Lamp Unit) The light source lamp unit 8 will be described with reference to FIGS. The light source lamp unit 8 includes a light source lamp 801 and a substantially rectangular parallelepiped lamp housing 8 containing the same.
02. In this example, the lamp housing 802 has a double structure of an inner housing 803 and an outer housing 804. Light source lamp 801
Is composed of a lamp body 805 such as a halogen lamp and a reflector 806, and emits light from the lamp body 805 toward the optical lens unit 9 along the optical axis 1a.

The outer housing 804 has an opening at the front surface in the direction of the optical axis 1a.
09 is attached. On the back surface in the direction of the optical axis 1a, a large number of slit groups 807 for passing cooling air are formed. The inner housing 803 is attached to the front surface of the light source lamp 801 and has an opening at a portion where emitted light passes, and a cooling air passage hole 80 at an outer peripheral portion.
8 are formed in large numbers. In this example, the inner housing 803 and the light source lamp 801 are formed integrally. The lamp replacement is configured such that they are attached and detached while these are integrated.

(Optical Lens Unit) In the optical lens unit 9, optical elements other than the prism unit 910 constituting the color synthesizing means are formed by upper and lower light guides 901 and 902 having the shape shown in FIG. It is configured to be held between upper and lower sides. The upper light guide 901 and the lower light guide 902 are fixed to the upper case 3 and the lower case 4 by fixing screws, respectively. These upper and lower light guide plates 901 and 902 are similarly fixed to the prism unit 910 side by fixing screws. The prism unit 910 includes a thick head plate 9 which is a die-cast plate.
03 is fixed to the rear surface side by a fixing screw. On the front surface of the head plate 903, the base end side of the projection lens unit 6 is similarly fixed by fixing screws. Therefore, in the present example, the prism unit 910 and the projection lens unit 6 are fixed so as to be integrated with the head plate 903 therebetween. With the rigid rigid head plate 903 interposed therebetween, these two components are integrated. Therefore, even if an impact or the like acts on the side of the projection lens unit 6, no displacement occurs between these two members.

(Optical System) Here, the optical system incorporated in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 19 shows only the optical system of the projection display device 1 of the present example. The optical system of this example is
The light source lamp 805, an illumination optical system 923 composed of integrator lenses 921 and 922, which are uniform illumination optical elements, and a light beam W emitted from the illumination optical system 923 are converted into red, green, and blue light beams R , G, and B, and three liquid crystal light valves 925R and 925 as light valves for modulating each color light beam.
G, 925B, a prism unit 910 as a color synthesis optical system for re-synthesizing the modulated color light beam, and a projection lens unit 6 for enlarging and projecting the synthesized light beam on a screen.
Consists of In addition, it has a light guide system 927 that guides the blue light beam B among the respective color light beams separated by the color separation optical system 924 to the corresponding liquid crystal valve 925B.

As the light source lamp 805, a halogen lamp, a metal halide lamp, a xenon lamp, or the like can be used. The uniform illumination optical system 923 includes the reflection mirror 9.
A central optical axis 1a of the light emitted from the illumination optical system is bent at a right angle toward the front of the apparatus. With the mirror 931 interposed, the integrator lenses 921 and 922 are arranged to be orthogonal to the front and rear.

The color separation optical system 924 includes a blue-green reflecting dichroic mirror 941 and a green reflecting dichroic mirror 94.
2 and a reflection mirror 943. In the blue-green reflecting dichroic mirror 941, the light beam W first reflects the blue light beam B and the green light beam G contained therein at a right angle, and travels toward the green reflecting dichroic mirror 942. The red light flux R passes through the mirror 942, is reflected at a right angle by the rear reflection mirror 943, and is emitted from the emission part 944 of the red light flux toward the prism unit 910. With respect to the blue and green light beams B and G reflected by the mirror 941, only the green light beam G is reflected at a right angle by the green reflection dichroic mirror 942, and is emitted from the emission portion 945 of the green light beam to the color combining optical system side. You. The blue light flux B that has passed through the mirror 942 is emitted from the emission section 946 of the blue light flux toward the light guide system. In this example, the distances from the light emitting portion of the uniform illumination optical element to the light emitting portions 944, 945, 946 of the respective color light beams in the color separation optical system 924 are all set to be equal.

The emission section 9 of each color light beam of the color separation optical system 924
Condensing lenses 951, 952, and 953 are disposed on the emission sides of the light-emitting elements 44, 945, and 946, respectively. Therefore, each color light beam emitted from each emission unit is incident on these condenser lenses 951, 952, 953 and is parallelized.

The color light beams R, G,
Of B, the red and green luminous fluxes R and G enter the liquid crystal light valves 925R and 925G, are modulated, and video information corresponding to each color light is added. That is, these light valves are switching-controlled by driving means (not shown) in accordance with the video information, and thereby each color light passing therethrough is modulated. Known means can be used for this drive means as it is. On the other hand, the blue light flux B is guided to the corresponding liquid crystal light valve 925B via the light guide system 927, where it is similarly modulated according to video information. As the light valve of this embodiment, for example, a light valve using a polysilicon TFT as a switching element can be used.

The light guide system 927 includes an incident side reflection mirror 971.
, An output-side reflection mirror 972, an intermediate lens 973 disposed therebetween, and a condenser lens 973 disposed on the front side of the liquid crystal panel 925B. The light path length of each color light beam, that is, the distance from the light source lamp 805 to each liquid crystal panel is the longest for the green light beam B, and therefore, the light amount loss of this light beam is the largest. However, the light guide system 92
By interposing 7, the light amount loss can be suppressed. Therefore, the optical path length of each color light beam can be made substantially equivalent.

Next, each color light flux modulated through each of the liquid crystal panels 925R, 925G, 925B enters a color synthesizing optical system 910, where it is recombined. In this example, as described above, the color combining optical system is configured using the prism unit 910 including the diclick prism. The recombined color image is enlarged and projected on a screen at a predetermined position via the projection lens unit 6.

Here, in the optical system of the present embodiment, in addition to the above-described configuration, it is preferable that a half-wave plate is disposed in the path of the light beam of each color so that the light beam of each color is aligned with S-polarized light.
When only S-polarized light can be used in this way, the color separation of the dichroic mirror is improved as compared with the case where random polarized light in which P-polarized light and S-polarized light are mixed is used as it is. Further, the light guide system 927 reflects a light beam using a mirror. However, since the S-polarized light has a higher reflectivity than the P-polarized light, there is an advantage that a light amount loss or the like can be suppressed.

(Prism Unit 910) Next, the prism unit 910 is formed by bonding four triangular prism-shaped prisms having the same refractive index into a prism having a square cross section. A dielectric film is formed to provide desired optical characteristics.

If these four prisms are not adhered accurately, the images of the respective colors synthesized via the obtained prism unit 910 will not be aligned on the screen, and the image quality will be degraded. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, such a problem occurs when the bonding surface has a step. As shown in FIG. 21, four prisms 910a, 9
10b, 910c, and 910d, a pair of prisms 910a, 910b are first attached with a step, and the other pair of prisms 910c, 910d are similarly attached with a step, and after that, these step The surfaces 910e and 910f are used as alignment surfaces, and each pair of prisms is bonded.

However, in this method, alignment can be performed in one direction, but alignment in a direction orthogonal to this direction cannot be performed. Therefore, the prism unit 910 of this example is configured to accurately bond the four prisms as follows. As shown in FIG. 22, the prism 910c is set to be the longest, the prisms 910b and 910d are set to be the shortest, and the remaining prisms 910a are set to an intermediate length.
The longest prism 910c and the shortest prism 910
and d are stuck together in a state where there is a step up and down. Similarly, the intermediate-length prism 910a and the shortest prism 910b are stuck together with a vertical step. Thereafter, the prisms of each pair are bonded together such that the longest prism 910c and the intermediate-length prism 910a have a step on the upper end side.

In the prism unit 910 obtained by bonding as described above, in addition to the conventional positioning surfaces 910e and 910f, the positioning surfaces 910g and 910i parallel to the lower end are also provided as the positioning surfaces. Is formed. Further, a positioning surface 910j orthogonal to these positioning surfaces is formed on the upper end side. Therefore, it is possible to apply the jig to these surfaces and accurately bond the four prisms.

Further, the prism unit 910 of this embodiment bonded as described above has orthogonal positioning surfaces 910f and 910f formed at the upper end of the prism 910c.
By using j, the optical lens unit 9 is mounted at a predetermined mounting position as described below, so that the positioning is accurately performed.

That is, in this embodiment, the prism fixing plate 91
1 is made of a resin having the shape shown in FIG. On the surface of the fixing plate 911, the prism 91
A mounting groove 911a of a right-angled isosceles triangle having a depth to which the surface 910j of the upper end of 0c just fits is formed. The upper end surface 910k of the prism 910c is bonded and fixed to the bottom surface 911b of the groove. A pair of orthogonal sides 9 of the groove
By pressing the alignment surfaces 910j and 910f of the prism 910c against 11c and 911d, respectively.
Since the center of the prism unit 910 is accurately positioned, the prism unit 910 is mounted at an accurate position.

In this embodiment, the prism fixing plate 911 is fixed to the bottom wall 92 of the head plate 903 by a plurality of fixing screws, and the prism unit 910 is mounted on the upper surface.

(Mechanism for Preventing Light Stroke, etc.) Next, in the prism unit 910 of this embodiment, the light valve 9
Although the red light beam passes through the prism surface where the modulated light beam that has passed through 25R enters, it is preferable to attach a glass filter 912 that absorbs and blocks the blue light beam. That is, as shown in FIG. 24, the glass filter 912 is provided on the entrance surface 910R of the red modulated light beam of the prism unit 910.
Is pasted. The modulated luminous flux of each color that has passed through each of the light valves 925R, G, and B passes through the prism unit 910, is reflected by the X-shaped reflection surface, and is emitted toward the projection lens unit 6. However, a small amount of light of each color passes through as it is without being reflected by the reflection surface, and reaches the liquid crystal light valve which faces the prism unit 910. For example, a blue modulated light beam may pass through the blue reflective surface and enter the red light valve 925R from behind. Conversely, the modulated red light beam may pass through the red reflective surface and enter the blue light valve 925B from the rear surface. Further, the green modulated light beam may not be passed through the prism unit 910 and may be reflected toward the red light valve 925R. When light enters the liquid crystal light valve from the back side in this manner, there is a possibility that the liquid crystal panel may have an adverse effect such as malfunction. In particular, the influence of blue light, which is light on the short wavelength side, is particularly large. Therefore, as described above, if a glass filter 912 is attached to the incident surface 910R of the red modulated light beam in the prism unit 910 to prevent the blue light beam from entering the liquid crystal light valve 925R from the back side, such a case can be obtained. Evil can be avoided.

Note that, in addition to the above-described filter 912, a filter that absorbs a red light beam may be mounted on the side of the incident surface of the blue modulated light beam.

(Power Supply Unit) The power supply unit 7 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), each component is built in a metal shield case 701 to prevent electric and magnetic noise generated in this portion from leaking outside. The shield case 701 has a size extending over the left and right side walls of the outer case 2 of the apparatus, and a left end portion has a flat shape protruding toward the front side of the apparatus with a constant width. In other words, in front of the protruding portion 702, the reflection mirror 931 of the uniform illumination system of the optical system block 9 is located at 45
It is arranged at an angle of degrees. The space on the back side tends to be a dead space. In this example, this space 703
In order to make effective use of the power supply unit, the shield case 701 is protruded toward the space 703 to form a protruding portion 702 to secure a space for arranging the components of the power supply unit.

The shield case 701 of the power supply unit 7
Has a rectangular hollow cross section, and its rigidity is generally higher than other parts. The bottom side of the case 701 is fixed to the bottom 4a of the lower case 4 by a plurality of fixing screws. The upper surface is similarly fixed to the upper wall 3a of the upper case 3 by a plurality of fixing screws. As described above, in the present example, on the rear end side of the apparatus, the upper case 3 and the lower case 4 are fixed to the shield case 701 having high rigidity. Also, the rigidity is high.

Here, the power supply unit 7 is heavier than other components arranged in the apparatus. Heavy parts in the apparatus together with the power supply unit 7
Prism unit 91 fixed before and after head plate 903
0 and the projection lens unit 6. In this example, FIG.
As can be clearly understood from the figure, the power supply unit 7 is arranged in a horizontally long state at the rear end of the apparatus. The power supply unit 7
By appropriately setting the arrangement of the respective components, the center of gravity is adjusted so as to be located at the center in the width direction of the device. On the other hand, on the front end side of the apparatus, the prism unit 910 and the projection lens unit 6 are arranged at the center. Therefore, in this example, the position of the center of gravity of the device is substantially located at the center in the width direction and the front-back direction of the device. As a result, if the device is accidentally dropped while the portable handle 38 is pulled out and the device is carried with the left side of the device facing upward as shown in FIG. Since it is located in the center of the right and left, it will fall in that posture. If the position of the center of gravity of the device is offset to the front or rear or left and right, the device falls while falling to the side of the center of gravity. When the device falls, the corner portion of the outer case of the device collides with a floor surface or the like first, so that an excessive impact force acts on a local portion, and the portion is extremely likely to be damaged. However, in this example, since the device falls as it is without falling back and forth, left and right, it is extremely unlikely that the right side surface of the lower device collides with the floor surface or the like almost simultaneously as a whole, causing local damage. There are advantages.

Further, conventionally, the power supply unit 7 has only the bottom or top side fixed to the outer case 2 side. However, in this example, FIG.
As can be seen from the figure, the fixing screw 7 is also located at a position corresponding to the position of the center of gravity of the power supply unit 7 in the vertical direction of the device.
04 is fixed to the outer case 2 side. In this example, the lower case 4 is fixed to the rear wall 4d. As a result, when vibration in the front-rear direction is applied to the device, the back-and-forth vibration of the power supply unit 7 is effectively prevented.

On the other hand, in the power supply unit 7 of the present embodiment, the power supply path to each drive portion from this is made as short as possible, so that the lead wire as a noise generating source is made as short as possible. Is to be suppressed. First, the AC inlet 36 and the main power switch 3
Reference numeral 7 is directly fixed to the rear side surface of the shield case 701 of the power supply unit 7. Therefore, it is possible to omit the lead wires routed from each of these parts to the power supply unit 7.

An interlock switch 710 for opening and closing the lamp replacement lid 27 attached to the back of the apparatus is also integrally mounted on the front side of the shield case 701 of the power supply unit 7. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the interlock switch 710 is attached to a portion of the shield case projecting portion 702 slightly away from the right side of the device. The operating portion 711 of the switch 710 faces downward, and is constantly pushed upward by an operating projection 271 extending vertically from the upper surface of the replacement lid 27. In this state, the interlock switch 710 is on. On the other hand, when the replacement lid 27 is removed, the operating portion of the switch 710 moves downward, and the switch is switched to the off state. As described above, the switch 710 which is conventionally located at a position distant from the power supply unit 7 is fixed to the side surface of the shield case 701 of the power supply unit, and the lead wire to that point is shortened.

Further, in the power supply unit 7 of this embodiment, a ballast circuit portion 720 which is a drive circuit of the lamp unit 8 disposed adjacent to the front side of the apparatus is disposed on the same side as the lamp unit 8. The lead wire from here to the lamp unit 8 is made as short as possible.

As described above, in this embodiment, since the power supply path extending from the power supply unit 7 to each drive portion is made as short as possible, the number of noise sources is reduced as compared with the related art, and noise generation is reduced. Can be suppressed.

(Arrangement of Substrates) FIGS. 11, 12 and 1
3, the interface board 11 and the video board 1
2 and the arrangement of the control board 13 will be described. First,
As shown in FIG. 16, the control board 13 is arranged below the upper wall 3 a of the upper case 3 in parallel with the upper case 3, and is fixed to the upper case 3 side by fixing screws at a plurality of positions on the outer peripheral edge. ing. The substrate 13 has a shape that covers the upper surfaces of the optical system block 9 and the light source lamp unit 8. Further, the portion immediately above the prism unit 910 has a shape cut into a rectangle. This substrate 1
At the left end of the device 3, contacts corresponding to the operation switch group 26a arranged at the left end of the upper surface of the device are arranged.

As can be seen from FIG. 13, the interface board 11 is arranged in parallel at a position slightly higher than the bottom wall 4a of the lower case 4. In addition, the video board 12 is arranged in a posture standing up and down in the apparatus from the front side of the interface board 11 in parallel with the left side wall of the apparatus. These two substrates 11 and 12 are supported by a substrate fixture 111 fixed to the bottom wall 4 a of the lower case 4. A shield plate 112 is attached to an upper end of the board fixing bracket 111, and an upper end side of the shield plate 112 extends to an upper end of the video board 12. Therefore, these two substrates 11, 1
2. A shield space is defined between the shield plate 112 and the substrate fixture 111 therebetween.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent noise generated from the electric element and the electronic element disposed therebetween from leaking to the outside.

Here, the electrical connection between the substrates is as follows. First, on the surface of the interface board 11, a connector 113 with the video board 12 is arranged. A connector 114 that can be inserted and connected to the connector 113 is arranged on the lower surface of the video board 12. Similarly, a connector 115 with the control board 13 is arranged on the upper surface of the video board 12. On the back surface of the control board 13, a connector 116 that can be inserted and connected to the connector 115 is arranged. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
In the state where 3 is arranged, the corresponding connectors are connected to each other.

As described above, in this example, the connection between the substrates is formed without leading the lead wires or the like. Therefore, the number of noise sources is small, and the generation of noise can be suppressed.

Further, in this example, as can be seen from FIG. 11, the corners of the outer peripheral edge of the control board 13 are fixed to the outer case 2 side, that is, the ground side, using fixing screws. Such corner portions are portions where noise is likely to occur. However, by grounding such a portion as in this example, it is possible to suppress the generation of noise.

(Structure of Head Plate Part) The shape of the head plate 903 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. The head plate 903 basically includes a vertical wall 91 extending vertically in the width direction of the apparatus and a bottom wall 92 extending horizontally from a lower end of the vertical wall 91. Vertical wall 91
As shown in FIG. 8, is a wall having a large number of reinforcing ribs 91a formed vertically and horizontally on the surface and having high out-of-plane rigidity, and a central portion thereof has a rectangular shape through which light emitted from the prism unit 910 passes. Opening 91b is formed. The vertical wall 91 is formed with a screw hole 91c for a prism unit fixing screw, and the projection lens unit 6
A screw hole 91d for fixing the base end side of the hole is formed. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the base end of the projection lens unit 6 is fixed to the front surface of the vertical wall 91, and the prism unit 910 is fixed to the rear surface.

As described above, since the prism unit 910 and the projection lens unit 6 are fixed in a state where the vertical wall 91 having high rigidity is sandwiched and aligned, the unity thereof is high, and an impact force or the like acts. However, there is an advantage that mutual displacement is extremely unlikely to occur.

The cooling fan 15 is mounted on the back surface of the bottom wall 92 of the head plate 903. On this bottom wall 92,
A communication hole (not shown) for flowing cooling air is formed.

Here, as can be seen from FIGS. 2 (b) and 4 (a), the upper and lower ends of the vertical wall 91 of the head plate 903 are attached to the upper case 3 and the lower case 4, respectively. , 91f are formed. These parts are fixed to the upper case 3 and the lower case 4 by fixing screws.

As described above, in this example, as described above, the upper case 3 and the lower case 4 have the rear end portion fixed to the power supply unit 7 and the front end portion fixed to the head plate 903. ing. As described above, since the upper case 3 and the lower case 4 are fixed to the portions having high rigidity, the integrity and rigidity of the upper case 3 and the lower case 4 are increased. Therefore, the impact resistance is improved, and the occurrence of damage due to dropping or the like is reduced.

(Cooling Mechanism) Next, with reference to FIGS. 7, 8, 9 and 10, a description will be given of a cooling mechanism for each heat-generating portion in the projection display device 1 of this embodiment.

The basic flow of the cooling air in the apparatus 1 of this embodiment is a path as shown in FIG.
The air sucked by the cooling suction fan 15 from the outside through the ventilation hole 28 formed in the bottom wall 4a of the device 1 passes through the inside of the optical lens unit 9 and is exhausted on the right side of the device. The air is exhausted again by the fan 16. As shown by the bold line in FIG. 8, the main airflow passage is partially airflow 1100 passing through the optical lens unit 9 and linearly reaching the exhaust fan 16 in plan view. , And is discharged outside through here.

Another air flow 1120 flows from the optical lens unit 9 to the front side of the light source lamp unit 8 through the ventilation holes 804 a formed in the outer housing 804.
And enters the inside through a ventilation hole 808 formed in the inner housing 803. After passing through this, it passes through the exhaust port 807 on the back side, and is discharged outside through the exhaust fan 16 on the back side.

On the other hand, another air flow 1130 is sucked through the optical lens unit 9 by the auxiliary suction fan 17 attached to the end of the power supply unit 7,
It is drawn into the power supply unit 7, passes through the inside, is sucked from the other end by the exhaust fan 16, and is discharged to the outside.

FIG. 9 shows a three-dimensional flow of the air flow 1130 flowing through the power supply unit 7. As shown in this figure, the air flow 1130 is sucked from the outside by the suction fan 15 and then blows up along the surfaces of the light valves 925R, G, and B of the optical lens unit 9 on the entrance side and the exit side. And
The air enters the space between the upper surface and the rear surface of the upper wall 3a through the air hole formed in the upper light guide 901;
Lateral flow between them. Next, the portion of the optical lens unit 9 where the integrator lenses 921 and 922, which are uniform illumination optical elements, are lowered through the air holes formed in the upper light guide 901 to open the lower light guide 902. The air enters the power supply unit 7 via the suction fan 17. Thereafter, the air flows toward the exhaust fan 16 and is discharged to the outside through the exhaust fan 16.

As described above, in this embodiment, the auxiliary exhaust fan 17 is arranged to forcibly introduce the cooling airflow into the power supply unit 7. Therefore, the inside of the power supply unit, which is a heat source, can be effectively cooled.

FIG. 7 shows a three-dimensional flow of the air flow 1120 flowing through the light source lamp unit 8.
As shown in this figure, the airflow 1120 flows between the upper light guide 901 and the back surface of the upper case upper wall 3a, and reaches the upper front end of the light source lamp unit 8 on the emission side. From here, it flows along the surface of each component of the light source lamp unit 8 and reaches the rear exhaust fan 16. That is, the airflow 1120 flows along the inner and outer surfaces of the outer housing 804, and also flows along the inner and outer surfaces of the inner housing 803. Further, it flows along the surface of the reflector 806.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the air flow 1 extends from the front end of the light source lamp unit 8 to the rear along the optical axis.
120 is formed, the lamp 805, the reflector 806
Is efficiently cooled around the heat source.

Next, in this example, as can be seen from FIGS. 9 and 10, the vent hole 24 is also provided on the upper case upper wall 3a side.
Are formed. Therefore, for example, the intake fan 1
When clogging occurs in the filter 29 attached to the ventilation hole 28 of No. 5 and it becomes impossible to introduce sufficient outside air through this, the outside air is introduced from the upper ventilation hole 24 as follows. . As shown in FIG. 10, when the lower air hole 28 is clogged, the inside is in a negative pressure state.
4 introduces outside air and generates an airflow as indicated by the thick line 1140. This air flow 1140 is introduced from the ventilation hole 24, is sucked by the lower intake fan 15, and is blown up again through this. A part of the circulating flow circulates through the intake fan 15 (of course, such a circulating flow occurs even in a normal case where the lower vent hole 28 is not clogged). The other air flows pass through the respective portions as the air flows 1110, 1120, and 1130 as described above, and are discharged from the exhaust fan 16 to the outside.

Here, the sealing plate 1 is provided around the intake fan 15 so that the outside air can be effectively introduced from the upper air hole 24 when the lower air hole 28 is clogged.
150 is attached. The sealing plate 1150 has a ventilation opening at a portion corresponding to the ventilation hole 24, and its periphery is in close contact with the lower light guide 902 and the back surface of the bottom wall 92 of the head plate. Therefore, a circulating flow as shown in FIG. 10 is efficiently formed. That is, the upper communication hole 2
4, the introduction of the outside air is effectively performed.

As described above, in this embodiment, since the communication hole 24 is provided, even if the communication hole 28 for introducing outside air on the side of the intake fan 15 is clogged, the inside of the apparatus can be cooled without any trouble. . In addition, since the sealing plate 1150 is attached, in such a clogged state, outside air can be efficiently introduced from the ventilation hole 24 apart from the intake fan 15.

(Positioning Mechanism of Light Valve) Next, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the liquid crystal light valve 925 of this embodiment will be described.
The R, G, and B positioning mechanisms will be described. These three
Since the positioning mechanism of one light valve is the same, the positioning mechanism of one light valve 925R will be described.

The light valve block 1200 to which the light valve 925R is attached is attached to the bottom wall 9 of the head plate 903.

221, a bottom wall 1222 extending horizontally from the lower end to the optical path upstream, and an upper wall 1223 extending horizontally from the upper end of the vertical wall 1221 to the optical path downstream. A dowel 1224 is formed at the center of the bottom wall 1222, and this is
10 rotatably supported. Therefore, the focus adjustment plate 1220 can turn left and right about the perpendicular passing through the dowel 1224. The bottom wall 1222 is fixed to the lower adjustment plate 1210 by a pair of fixing screws 1225. On the other hand, the upper wall 1 of the focus plate 1220
223 is fixed to a cover 910 a that covers the upper surface of the prism unit 910 by a fixing screw 1226. The screw hole 1227 of the screw 1226 is
Therefore, if the screw 1226 is loosened, the position of the focus adjustment plate 1220 can be slightly moved forward, backward, left, and right. A notch 12 is provided at the tip of the upper wall 1223.
28 are formed. Prism unit cover 910
On the side a, a notch 910b is also formed at a position facing the notch 1228 at a predetermined interval. When the focus plate 1220 is attached, an insertion groove 1229 into which a blade such as a flathead screwdriver can be inserted is formed between these notches. With the fixing screw 1226 etc. slightly loosened,
Insert the blade edge of a screwdriver etc. into 229 and rotate,
The focus adjustment plate 1220 includes a prism unit 910
In response to this, while rotating around a vertical line around the dowel 1224, it also moves in the optical path direction (front-back direction).

As described above, the vertical adjustment plate 1230 is supported in parallel with the vertical wall 1221 of the focus plate 1220 which can move back and forth along the optical path direction.
That is, vertical adjustment plate support portions are formed above and below the vertical wall 1221, and the vertical adjustment plate 1230 is sandwiched between them. The lower end of the vertical adjustment plate 1230 is supported on the lower end side of the focus plate 1220 via an eye spring 1231, and the upper end side is a pair of left and right alignment adjustment screws 1232 and 123 attached to the focus plate 1220.
3 pushed downwards. Therefore, by adjusting the screwing amount of the pair of adjusting screws 1232 and 1233, the vertical adjusting plate 1230 is moved to the focus plate 122.
It can be moved up and down relatively to zero.

The vertical adjustment plate 1230 supports a horizontal adjustment plate 1240 in a state parallel to the vertical adjustment plate 1230. The horizontal adjustment plate 1240 is pushed by one of left and right sides by an alignment adjustment spring 1241, and the other side is pushed by one alignment adjustment screw 1242. Therefore, by adjusting the screwing amount of the screw 1242, the horizontal adjustment plate 1240 can be relatively moved in the horizontal direction with respect to the vertical adjustment plate 1230. A light valve unit 1250 to which a liquid crystal light valve 925R is attached is fixed to a central portion of the horizontal adjustment plate 1240.

Light valve block 1200 of this configuration
After fixing this to the head plate bottom wall 92, while adjusting the lower adjustment plate 1210 back and forth along the optical path direction,
By turning the focus plate 1220 around a vertical line about the dowel 1224, the focus position of the light bubble 925R, that is, the positioning in the optical path direction can be easily performed. In addition, by moving the vertical adjustment plate 1230 and the horizontal adjustment plate 1240 up and down, left and right, alignment adjustment of the light bubble 925R can be performed.

Numerals 40 are fixed by a U-shaped adjusting plate fixing spring 1260 at a total of three positions, that is, a substantially central portion on the left and right and a central portion on the upper end. As before, these three plates are
Unlike the case of fixing with a fixing screw, there is an advantage that an operation such as loosening the fixing screw is not required when performing focusing or the like, and the adjustment can be performed with the fixing spring 1260 attached. Also, if the three screws are fixed by tightening the fixing screws after positioning as in the related art, there is a possibility that the three plates whose bending angles have been adjusted may be shifted due to the tightening operation. Since no complicated operation is required, there is no possibility that the three plates are displaced after the adjustment. However, in order to completely integrate the three plates after the positioning, in this example, at the upper end portions of the three plates,
An adhesive reservoir 1270 is formed. This adhesive reservoir 127
At 0, after the alignment of the three plates is completed, an adhesive is poured and these are bonded and fixed.

A portion of the inner peripheral surface of the through portion 315 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 312 with a predetermined pressure. A female screw 31 that can be screwed into the male screw 317 of the shaft is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the through portion.
8 are formed.

The vertical movement of the height adjusting foot 31L of this configuration is prohibited by the spring 316. However, when the button 32L is pushed in against the spring force, the foot stopper 314 comes off the shaft 312. As a result, the foot 31L can freely move up and down along the foot adjuster plate 313. Therefore, by lifting the device 1 with both hands and pressing the left and right buttons 32L, R,
Since the feet 31L and 31R fall under their own weight, the feet can be pulled out by a predetermined length. After this,
When the buttons 32L and 32R are released with the foot pulled out by the target length, the foot is fixed at that position.

Thereafter, when the foot itself is turned, the shaft 312 is turned by the screw 318 on the stopper 314 side.
Move slightly up and down along. Therefore, button 32
The length of the feet 31L, R roughly adjusted by pressing L, R can be finely adjusted by rotating the feet themselves. Thus, in this example, the height adjustment of the front end side of the apparatus 1 can be performed by a simple operation in a short time, and the apparatus 1 can be set to a desired inclination angle.
