[0020] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1It is a laser projection host with a heat dissipation structure provided by the related technology. The laser projection host may include: laser 01, lens 02, DMD light valve ( Figure 1 When the laser projector is operating, the components within it generate heat, resulting in a high operating temperature. To reduce the operating temperature of the laser projector, a first heat dissipation assembly 04 and a second heat dissipation assembly 05 may be provided within the laser projector.

[0022] The first heat dissipation component 04 may include: a first radiator 041, a liquid cooling pipeline ( Figure 1 (not labeled) and a cold head 042 abutting the device to be cooled. One end of the liquid cooling pipeline is connected to the first radiator 041, and the other end is connected to the cold head 042. Heat generated by the device to be cooled during operation is transferred sequentially through the cold head 042 and the liquid cooling pipeline to the first radiator 041 for dissipation. The first heat dissipation assembly 04 dissipates heat from the device to be cooled along path a.

[0023] The second heat dissipation assembly 05 may include: a second heat sink 051, a metal heat pipe 052, and a heat conduction block ( Figure 1 (Not labeled in the figure). One end of the metal heat pipe 052 is connected to the second heat sink 052, and the other end is connected to the heat block. Heat generated by the device to be cooled is transferred to the second heat sink 052 via the heat block and the metal heat pipe, where it is dissipated. The second heat sink assembly 05 dissipates heat from the device to be cooled along path b.

[0024] Each of the first and second heat sinks 041 and 051 may include a heat sink body and a fan, with the fan's air outlet facing the heat sink body. The rotating fans provide heat dissipation for the first and second heat sinks 041 and 051. The heat dissipation device may be at least one of the laser 01, lens 02, DMD light valve, and circuit board 03.

[0025] However, due to the different locations of components within different laser projector models, each model requires a separate, integrated heat sink assembly, leading to higher manufacturing costs. Furthermore, when the heat sink assembly is located within the laser projector, the various components within the laser projector block the airflow of the fan within the heat sink assembly, resulting in poor heat dissipation from the heat sink assembly and ultimately, poor cooling of the laser projector.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a laser projection system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The laser projection system may include: a heat dissipation device 100 and a laser projection host 200.

[0027] The heat dissipation device 100 may include: a radiator 101 located outside the laser projection host 200 , a heat dissipation control component 102 connected to the radiator 101 , and a heat dissipation pipe 103 having a first end connected to the radiator 101 .

[0028] The laser projection system 200 may include a heat dissipation device 201 , which abuts against the second end of the heat conducting pipe 102 . It should be noted that the first end and the second end of the heat conducting pipe 102 are different ends of the heat conducting pipe 103 .

[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, the heat dissipation control component 102 establishes a communication connection with the radiator 101. The heat dissipation control component is configured to adjust the heat dissipation of the radiator 101 based on the temperature of at least one of the first end and the second end of the heat conduction pipe 103 and the maximum operating temperature of the device to be cooled 201.

[0030] In summary, the laser projection system provided in the embodiments of the present application includes: a laser projection host and a heat dissipation device. The heat sink in the heat dissipation device is located outside the laser projection host, and the heat dissipation control component in the heat dissipation device is capable of adjusting the heat dissipation of the heat sink based on the temperature of at least one of the first end and the second end of the heat conduction pipe and the maximum operating temperature of the component to be dissipated. This enables the heat dissipation device to dissipate heat from the component to be dissipated in the laser projection host, preventing the operating temperature of the component to be dissipated from exceeding its maximum operating temperature, thereby preventing damage to the component to be dissipated due to high operating temperatures, and effectively extending the service life of the laser projection system. Furthermore, the heat dissipation device and the laser host in the present application are separate, allowing different models of laser hosts to be connected to the same heat dissipation device, effectively reducing the manufacturing cost of the laser projection system. Furthermore, since the heat sink in the heat dissipation device is located outside the laser projection host, it effectively prevents components within the laser projection host from obstructing the heat dissipation of the heat sink, thereby improving the efficiency of the heat dissipation device in dissipating heat from the component to be dissipated, and thus achieving better heat dissipation effect of the laser projection system.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, there are multiple ways for the heat dissipation control component in the heat dissipation device to control the radiator to dissipate heat. The embodiment of the present application uses the following three possible implementation methods as examples for description:

[0032] In the first possible implementation, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3is a schematic diagram of the structure of another laser projection system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The laser projection system may further include: a temperature sensor 300 located at the first end of the heat transfer pipe 103. The temperature sensor 300 is connected to the heat dissipation control component 102. For example, the temperature sensor 300 may be in communication with the heat dissipation control component 102. The temperature sensor 300 is capable of detecting the temperature of the first end of the heat transfer pipe 103 and transmitting the temperature of the first end of the heat transfer pipe 103 to the heat dissipation control component 102.

[0033] The heat dissipation control component 102 is configured to adjust the heat dissipation of the radiator 101 based on the temperature of the first end of the heat conducting pipe 103 detected by the temperature sensor 300 and the upper limit temperature of the first end of the heat conducting pipe 103 .

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, since the second end of the heat conducting pipe 103 abuts the heat dissipation device 201, the upper limit temperature of the second end of the heat conducting pipe 103 is the maximum operating temperature of the heat dissipation device 201. The heat dissipation temperature of the heat conducting pipe 103 is the difference between the temperature of the second end of the heat conducting pipe 103 and the temperature of the first end of the heat conducting pipe 103. The heat dissipation temperature of the heat conducting pipe 103 is related to the fixed length and material of the heat conducting pipe 103. When the length and material of the heat conducting pipe 103 are fixed, the heat dissipation temperature of the heat conducting pipe 103 is also fixed. Therefore, the upper limit temperature of the first end of the heat conducting pipe 103 is the difference between the maximum operating temperature of the heat dissipation device 201 and the heat dissipation temperature of the heat conducting pipe 103. For example, assuming that the maximum operating temperature of the heat dissipation device 201 is 45°C (degrees Celsius) and the heat dissipation temperature of the heat conducting pipe is 10°C, the upper limit temperature of the first end of the heat conducting pipe 103 is 35°C.

[0035] For example, the laser projection host 200 in the laser projection system may further include: a memory 202, which is in communication with the heat dissipation control component 102. The memory 202 may store information on the maximum operating temperature of the device to be dissipated 201. The heat dissipation control component 102 in the heat dissipation device 100 stores the heat dissipation temperature of the heat pipe 102. Therefore, after the laser projection system is powered on, the memory 202 in the laser projection host 200 may send information on the maximum operating temperature of the device to be dissipated 101 to the heat dissipation control component 102 in the heat dissipation device 100, so that the heat dissipation control component 102 can determine the upper limit temperature of the first end of the heat dissipation pipe 103 based on the maximum operating temperature of the device to be dissipated 201 and the heat dissipation temperature of the heat dissipation pipe 102.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, the heat dissipation control component 102 is configured to: when the temperature sensor 300 detects that the temperature of the first end of the heat conducting pipe 103 is higher than the upper limit temperature of the first end of the heat conducting pipe 103, control the radiator 101 to increase the heat dissipation to reduce the temperature of the first end of the heat conducting pipe 103, so that the temperature of the second end of the heat conducting pipe 103 is also reduced, thereby reducing the temperature of the device to be cooled 201, and ensuring that the operating temperature of the device to be cooled 201 is lower than its maximum operating temperature.

[0037] In the second possible implementation, Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another laser projection system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The laser projection system may further include: a temperature sensor 300 located at the second end of the heat transfer pipe 103. The temperature sensor 300 is connected to the heat dissipation control component 102. For example, the temperature sensor 300 may be in communication with the heat dissipation control component 102. The temperature sensor 300 is capable of detecting the temperature of the second end of the heat transfer pipe 103 and transmitting the temperature of the second end of the heat transfer pipe 103 to the heat dissipation control component 102.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, since the second end of the heat conducting pipe 103 is in contact with the heat dissipation device 201 and the temperature sensor 300 is located at the second end of the heat conducting pipe, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 300 is the operating temperature of the heat dissipation device 201.

[0039] Optionally, the laser projection host 200 in the laser projection system may further include a memory 202, which is communicatively connected to the heat dissipation control component 102. The memory 202 may store information regarding the maximum operating temperature of the device 201 to be dissipated. After the laser projection system is powered on, the memory 202 in the laser projection host 200 may transmit the information regarding the maximum operating temperature of the device 101 to be dissipated to the heat dissipation control component 102 in the heat dissipation device 100. Thus, the heat dissipation control component 102 in the heat dissipation device 200 is configured to control the heat dissipator 101 to increase heat dissipation to reduce the temperature of the first end of the heat dissipation device 103, thereby reducing the temperature of the second end of the heat dissipation device 101 and thereby ensuring that the operating temperature of the device 201 to be dissipated is less than its maximum operating temperature.

[0040] In the third possible implementation, Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5is a schematic diagram of the structure of another laser projection system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The laser projection system may further include: a first temperature sensor 301 located at a first end of the heat transfer pipe 103; and a second temperature sensor 302 located at a second end of the heat transfer pipe 103. Both the first temperature sensor 301 and the second temperature sensor 302 are in communication with the heat dissipation control assembly 102.

[0041] In this way, the heat dissipation control component 102 is configured to: when the temperature of the first end of the heat-conducting pipe 103 detected by the first temperature sensor 301 is higher than the upper limit temperature of the first end of the heat-conducting pipe 103, and / or when the temperature of the second end of the heat-conducting pipe 103 detected by the second temperature sensor 302 is higher than the maximum operating temperature of the device to be cooled 201, control the radiator 101 to increase the heat dissipation amount to reduce the temperature of the first end of the heat-conducting pipe 103, so that the temperature of the second end of the heat-conducting pipe 103 is also reduced, thereby reducing the temperature of the device to be cooled 201, and ensuring that the operating temperature of the device to be cooled 201 is lower than its maximum operating temperature.

[0042] It should be noted that the specific working principle of the laser projection system in the third possible implementation manner can refer to the corresponding contents of the laser projection system in the first possible implementation manner and the second possible implementation manner, which will not be repeated here.

[0043] Optional, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 or Figure 5 As shown, the radiator 101 in the heat dissipation device 100 may include: a heat dissipation plate 1011 and a fan 1012, and the air outlet surface 1012a of the fan 1012 faces the heat dissipation plate 1011. The heat dissipation plate 1011 is connected to the first end of the heat conduction pipe 103. The fan 1012 is connected to the heat dissipation control component 102, and the heat dissipation control component 102 is configured to: control the rotation speed of the fan 102 to adjust the fan heat of the radiator. For example, the fan 1012 may include a fan body and a drive motor, and the heat dissipation control component 102 is connected to the drive motor. The heat dissipation control component 102 can control the drive motor to adjust the rotation speed of the fan body, thereby adjusting the heat dissipation of the radiator 101.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the rotation speed of the fan 1012 is positively correlated with the heat dissipation of the radiator 101. For example, Figure 3Taking the laser projection system shown as an example, the method by which the heat dissipation control component 102 controls the fan speed is described. When the heat dissipation control component 102 determines that the temperature at the first end of the heat dissipation pipe 103 is higher than its upper temperature limit, the heat dissipation control component 102 controls the fan speed to increase the heat dissipation of the radiator, thereby ensuring that the operating temperature of the device to be cooled 201 is lower than its maximum operating temperature. Subsequently, when the heat dissipation control component 102 determines that the difference between the temperature at the first end of the heat dissipation pipe 103 and its upper temperature limit is lower than a difference threshold, the heat dissipation control component 102 controls the fan speed to decrease the heat dissipation of the radiator, thereby ensuring low power consumption during operation of the laser projection system.

[0045] Optional, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 or Figure 5 As shown, the heat dissipation device 100 may further include: a heat sink 104 connected to the second end of the heat dissipation pipe 103. The heat sink 104 may abut against the device 201 to be cooled. The first end of the heat conductive pipe may increase the contact area with the device 201 to be cooled via the heat sink 104, thereby improving the efficiency of heat dissipation of the device 201 to be cooled. The heat dissipation pipe 104 may be a liquid cooling heat pipe or a metal heat pipe. When the heat dissipation pipe 104 is a liquid cooling heat pipe, since the liquid cooling heat pipe is easy to bend, it is convenient to assemble the laser projection host 200 and the heat dissipation device 100, and the volume of the laser projection system formed after assembly can be kept small.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the component 201 to be cooled in the laser projector 200 can be any one of a laser, a lens, a DMD light valve, and a circuit board. Typically, there are multiple components 201 to be cooled in the laser projector 200. Therefore, the heat dissipation device 100 also needs to include multiple heat sinks 101 and multiple heat pipes 103. The multiple heat sinks 101 correspond one-to-one to the multiple components 201 to be cooled, and each heat sink 101 is connected to the corresponding component 201 to be cooled via at least one heat pipe 103.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, since the maximum operating temperatures of the components 201 to be cooled may be different, for example Figure 3 、 Figure 4 or Figure 5The memory 202 in the laser projection host 200 may store information regarding the maximum operating temperature of each heat dissipation device 201, and the heat dissipation control component 102 in the heat dissipation device 100 may store the heat dissipation temperature of the heat conduction pipe 102 corresponding to each heat dissipation device 201. After the laser projection system is powered on and started, the memory 202 may send the information regarding the maximum operating temperature of each heat dissipation device 201 to the heat dissipation control component 102, so that the heat dissipation control component 102 can obtain the maximum operating temperature of each heat dissipation device 201. Furthermore, the heat dissipation control component 102 can determine the upper limit temperature of the first end of the heat conduction pipe 102 connected to each heat dissipation device 201 based on the maximum operating temperature of each heat dissipation device 201 and the heat dissipation temperature of the heat conduction pipe 102 corresponding to each heat dissipation device 201.

[0048] For example, assuming that there are three components 201 to be cooled in the laser projection assembly 200, the maximum operating temperatures of the three components 201 to be cooled are T1, T2 and T3 respectively, and the heat dissipation temperatures of the heat dissipation pipes 103 connected to the three components 201 to be cooled are △T1, △T2 and △T3 respectively, then the upper limit temperatures of the heat dissipation pipes 103 connected to the three components 201 to be cooled are: T1-△T1, T2-△T2 and T3-△T3 respectively.

[0049] Optionally, the heat dissipation device 100 in the laser projection system in the embodiment of the present application is configured as follows: when the heat dissipation of the radiator 101 in the heat dissipation device 100 is at a maximum, if the operating temperature of the device to be cooled 201 is greater than the maximum operating temperature of the device to be cooled 201, a prompt message is issued indicating that the device to be cooled 201 cannot be cooled.

[0050] For example, for the laser projection system in the first possible implementation, if the fan 1012 in the heat sink 101 of the heat sink device 100 has the highest rotational speed, the heat sink 101 will dissipate the greatest amount of heat. At this point, if the heat dissipation control component 102 determines that the temperature of the first end of the heat pipe 103 is greater than the upper limit temperature of the first end of the heat pipe 103, the heat sink 100 will issue a prompt indicating that the heat sink 201 cannot be cooled.

[0051] For the laser projection system in the second possible implementation, if the fan 1012 within the radiator 101 in the heat dissipation device 100 has the highest rotational speed, the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator 101 is maximized. At this point, if the heat dissipation control component 102 determines that the temperature at the second end of the heat transfer pipe 103 is greater than the maximum operating temperature of the device 201 to be cooled, the heat dissipation device 100 issues a message indicating that the device 201 to be cooled cannot be cooled.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, there are multiple optional implementations for the heat dissipation device 100 to issue a prompt message indicating that the device to be cooled 201 cannot be cooled. For example, in one optional implementation, the heat dissipation device 100 may further include: a first alarm. When the heat dissipation device 100 determines that the heat dissipation of the radiator 101 in the heat dissipation device 100 is at its maximum, but the operating temperature of the device to be cooled 201 is still greater than the maximum operating temperature of the device to be cooled 201, the first alarm may be operated to issue a prompt message indicating that the device to be cooled 201 cannot be cooled. In this case, the prompt message may be an audible message. In another optional implementation, when the heat dissipation device 100 determines that the heat dissipation of the radiator 101 in the heat dissipation device 100 is the maximum, but the operating temperature of the device to be cooled 201 is still greater than the maximum operating temperature of the device to be cooled 201, the heat dissipation device 100 can send a prompt message to the laser projection host 200 that the device to be cooled 201 cannot be cooled. After the laser projection host 200 receives the prompt message, the laser projection host 200 can project corresponding text information to remind people using the laser projection system.

[0053] Optional, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 or Figure 5 As shown, the laser projection system may further include an ambient temperature detection component 400, which is typically located outside the heat dissipation component 200 or the laser projection host 100 and is in communication with the heat dissipation control component 102 in the heat dissipation device 100. The ambient temperature detection component 400 is configured to detect the temperature of the environment in which the laser projection system is located and transmit the detected temperature to the heat dissipation control component 102.

[0054] Normally, the temperature of the first end of the heat pipe 103 is about 10°C higher than the room temperature (i.e., the temperature of the environment in which the laser projection system is detected). If the difference between the temperature of the first end of the heat pipe 103 and the room temperature is small, the heat emitted by the heat dissipation device 201 may not be transferred to the radiator 101 through the heat pipe 102, that is, the heat dissipation device 100 may malfunction.

[0055] Therefore, after receiving the temperature of the laser projection system's environment detected by the ambient temperature detection component 400, the heat dissipation control component 102 determines whether the difference between the temperature of the first end of the heat transfer pipe 103 and the temperature of the laser projection system's environment is less than a difference threshold. For example, the difference threshold may be 10°C. When the difference between the temperature of the first end of the heat transfer pipe 103 and the temperature of the laser projection system's environment is less than the difference threshold, the heat dissipation device 100 will issue a warning message indicating that the heat dissipation device 100 has failed.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, there are multiple optional implementations for the heat dissipation device 100 to issue a prompt message indicating that the heat dissipation device 100 has failed. For example, in one optional implementation, the heat dissipation device 100 may further include: a second alarm. When the difference between the temperature of the first end of the heat conduction pipe 103 and the temperature of the environment in which the laser projection system is located is less than a difference threshold, the second alarm may be operated to issue a prompt message indicating that the heat dissipation device 100 has failed. In this case, the prompt message may be an audible message. In another optional implementation, when the difference between the temperature of the first end of the heat conduction pipe 103 and the temperature of the environment in which the laser projection system is located is less than a difference threshold, the heat dissipation device 100 may send a prompt message indicating that the heat dissipation device 100 has failed to the laser projection host 200. After the laser projection host 200 receives the prompt message, the laser projection host may project a corresponding text message to alert the person using the laser projection system.

[0057] Optional, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the heat dissipation device 100 may further include: a first shell 100a, in which the radiator 101 and the heat dissipation control component 102 may be located. The laser projection assembly 200 may further include: a second shell 200a, in which the heat dissipation device 201 is located. In the embodiment of the present application, the heat dissipation device 100 and the laser projection host 200 are of separate designs. The heat dissipation device 100 and the laser projection host 200 are usually manufactured separately, and then the two are assembled to obtain the laser projection system in the embodiment of the present application. After the heat dissipation device 100 and the laser projection host 200 are assembled, the first shell 100a may generally be located above the second shell 200a.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, when the laser projection system is a large-scale projection system, the heat dissipation device 100 can be located in a well-ventilated location to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the device to be cooled 201 in the laser projection host 200 .

[0059] In summary, the laser projection system provided in the embodiments of the present application includes: a laser projection host and a heat dissipation device. The heat sink in the heat dissipation device is located outside the laser projection host, and the heat dissipation control component in the heat dissipation device is capable of adjusting the heat dissipation of the heat sink based on the temperature of at least one of the first end and the second end of the heat conduction pipe and the maximum operating temperature of the component to be dissipated. This enables the heat dissipation device to dissipate heat from the component to be dissipated in the laser projection host, preventing the operating temperature of the component to be dissipated from exceeding its maximum operating temperature, thereby preventing damage to the component to be dissipated due to high operating temperatures, and effectively extending the service life of the laser projection system. Furthermore, the heat dissipation device and the laser host in the present application are separate, allowing different models of laser hosts to be connected to the same heat dissipation device, effectively reducing the manufacturing cost of the laser projection system. Furthermore, since the heat sink in the heat dissipation device is located outside the laser projection host, it effectively prevents components within the laser projection host from obstructing the heat dissipation of the heat sink, thereby improving the efficiency of the heat dissipation device in dissipating heat from the component to be dissipated, and thus achieving better heat dissipation effect of the laser projection system.
