In the case of such a _ _ _ _ listen to a record will occur in the case of a crash when the projector occurs # machine, the function of the cap in the temperature control will not play, resulting in the job (four) components due to overheating And caused damage. In prior art projectors, a thermal switch is used as the last protection mechanism. When the temperature is high enough to cause the thermal switch to open and the circuit is broken, the projector will automatically power off and shut down. However, the sensitivity of the thermal switch to temperature is too low, so it may happen that the temperature is too high but the thermal switch is still not disconnected, and such application is too risky and the safety is also worrying. Further, in the Patent of the Republic of China Patent Publication No. [273881, a temperature detecting system and method are disclosed. Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application architecture of the temperature detecting system 1 disclosed in the Patent Publication No. 1273881.

The first temperature detecting module u is used to determine whether the temperature of the working environment reaches the preset H degree threshold and generates a first trigger signal at the first temperature threshold. The first temperature detecting module u includes a first temperature sensing voltage dividing circuit 112 and a first voltage detecting circuit 114. The second temperature & nucleus 12 is used to move the river as the second temperature threshold for the ambient temperature and to generate a second trigger signal when the second temperature threshold is reached. The second /m degree detecting module 12 includes a second temperature sensing voltage dividing circuit 122 and a second voltage detecting circuit 124. When the temperature of the first temperature detecting module n or the second temperature _ module ^2 reaches the first temperature threshold or the preset second temperature threshold, the first trigger signal or the second The trigger signal is transmitted to the trigger module 13. When the trigger module 13 receives the first trigger signal or the second trigger signal, it generates and transmits an enable signal for stopping the hard disk 3 to the hard disk 3. Under such an architecture, the temperature detection system! It does not _ any (four) wafers are #机, the contribution of the projector to the protection against overheating is very limited. Further, in the patent of the Republic of China Patent Publication No. 546536, a projector and a method of operating the marrow of the projector are disclosed.

The section charge and discharge is executed according to the rotation speed of the pulse signal of the heat dissipation fans 19A to 19C, and the rotation speed determination signal is output, and when the determination signal of the specific wind speed is too low or abnormal is executed, the "machine (4) program is executed. The above projector protection program Including processing benefits 18, control power supply wire 1 () to _ pure power supply, ^ system 12 # ❹ ^ visual speed of each political fan 19 Α ~ 19C, and can not know the current operating temperature of the projector. In addition, such The projector can be used to determine whether the microprocessor 18 is down. Therefore, if the microprocessor is crying for 18 seconds, the machine must wait for the projector protection device 2U to detect the fan speed = 氐 = different ¥ The Guardian 'Microprocessor 18 will be reset. Therefore, it may happen that the microprocessor 18 has crashed but the projection bulb 12B and the cooling fan 19 are still running. This causes waste of energy. ^ Therefore, How to avoid the projector from idling due to the control of the wafer crash, resulting in waste of energy and possible overheating, is a subject that must be faced. [Summary] The present invention proposes a projector The temperature protection method uses the micro control unit to detect whether the control chip of the projector is down, and the operating temperature of the projector is not excessively high due to the control of the wafer, and the components of the projector are prevented from being damaged due to overheating.

The temperature sense is adapted to sense the operating temperature of the photographic machine. The control chip is adapted to control the fall of the projector. Micro-control unit temperature sensing II and control chip. When the operating temperature sensed by the temperature sensor is greater than the preset temperature, the micro-control unit = to control the wafer, and determine whether the control chip is after the signal is transmitted = The response signal is returned within a fixed time. When the micro control unit fails to receive the operation temperature of the response message returned by the control chip within a predetermined time after the detection is broken, the micro control unit performs a cooling process to reduce Projection. / In the present invention - the above method of overheating further includes: = degree sensor output control signal.
