Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of video wall light source technology, and in particular to an automatic control method, device, system and equipment for the operating current of a projector light source. Background Technology
[0002] DLP video walls use projectors that emit light from a light source. Their working principle involves converting electrical signals into light signals to display an image. Because projectors require high brightness, their light sources utilize high-power devices. Currently, the mainstream light sources include LED and laser light sources. Since the power of a single light source is relatively low, multiple light sources are typically connected in parallel to increase their power. The advantage of parallel connection is that if one or more light sources fail, the remaining light sources will continue to emit light, unaffecting the displayed image; the disadvantage is that it's difficult to detect the faulty light source in a timely manner.
[0003] Because the drive output current of a projector is constant, when one light source fails and disconnects, the current applied to the remaining light sources increases. This not only increases the risk of these light sources burning out but also reduces their lifespan. In projectors, to improve brightness, the constant drive output current is typically set to the maximum allowable current for the light source. However, the brightness of a light source is not linearly related to its drive current. Once the current reaches a certain level, further increases result in minimal or no change in the projector's light source brightness—a state similar to saturation. When an LED light source operates in this saturation state, it experiences high power consumption, low efficiency, and high heat generation, leading to both low efficiency and a reduced lifespan. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides an automatic control method, device, system, and equipment for the operating current of a projector light source, which solves the technical problem that existing projectors with multiple light sources connected in parallel operate in a saturated state after a failure, and cannot adjust the output current according to the working light source, thus reducing the service life of the projector.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0008] The curve change rate is obtained based on the brightness change curve. If the curve change rate is less than the change threshold, the projector light source is working in a state similar to saturation. At the same time, the first brightness value of the projector light source working in a state similar to saturation is obtained.
[0009] The first driving current is obtained from a preset current-brightness lookup table based on the first brightness value, and the operation of the projector light source is controlled based on the first driving current to reduce the driving current of the projector light source.

[0015] By comparing each of the light source brightness values with the second brightness value, a corresponding variable brightness value is obtained. If all the variable brightness values are greater than the variable threshold, then at least one light source of the projector has malfunctioned.
[0016] Preferably, the automatic control method for the operating current of the projector light source is characterized by comprising: if any of the variable brightness values is not greater than a variable threshold or if the brightness difference is not greater than a preset threshold, then monitoring the brightness of the projector light source in real time at intervals t.

[0020] The data acquisition module is used to obtain the curve change rate according to the brightness change curve. If the curve change rate is less than the change threshold, the projector light source is working in a similar saturation state. At the same time, the first brightness value of the projector light source working in a similar saturation state is obtained.
[0021] The current regulation module is used to obtain the corresponding first driving current from a preset current-brightness lookup table according to the first brightness value, and control the operation of the projector light source according to the first driving current to reduce the driving current of the projector light source.
[0022] Preferably, the automatic control device for the operating current of the projector light source includes a fault judgment module, which includes a data acquisition submodule, a search submodule, a first judgment submodule, and a second judgment submodule.
[0023] The data acquisition submodule is used to acquire the second brightness value of the projector light source and the second driving current corresponding to the second brightness value in real time at each time interval t.
[0024] The lookup submodule is used to obtain a corresponding preset brightness value from the current brightness lookup table according to the second driving current, and to determine the brightness difference by comparing the second brightness value with the preset brightness value.
[0025] The first judgment submodule is used to control the operation of the projector light source by using at least three drive currents that are different values larger than the second drive current, based on the brightness difference being greater than a preset threshold, and to obtain the light source brightness value corresponding to the drive current.
[0026] The second judgment submodule is used to compare the brightness values of all the light sources one by one with the second brightness value to obtain the corresponding variable brightness value. If all the variable brightness values are greater than the variable threshold, then at least one light source of the projector has failed.
[0027] Preferably, the fault judgment module is further configured to monitor the brightness of the projector light source in real time at intervals t, based on the fact that any one of the variable brightness values is not greater than the variable threshold or the brightness difference is not greater than a preset threshold.

This automatic current control method for the projector's light source determines whether the projector's light source is operating in a near-saturation state based on the rate of change of the brightness curve. It adjusts the drive current when the light source is operating in a near-saturation state, matching the actual brightness value of the projector to the corresponding drive current. This reduces the drive current when the light source is operating in a near-saturation state, preventing the light source from consistently operating in this state and maintaining a high electro-optical conversion efficiency. This not only reduces energy consumption but also decreases heat generated by the light source, gradually extending the projector's lifespan. It solves the technical problem of existing projectors with multiple parallel light sources operating in a near-saturation state after a malfunction, failing to adjust the output current according to the operating light source, thus reducing the projector's lifespan.

[0042] To make the inventive objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0043] This application provides an automatic control method, device, system, and equipment for the operating current of a projector light source, which solves the technical problem that existing projectors with multiple light sources connected in parallel operate in a saturated state after a failure, and cannot adjust the output current according to the working light source, thus reducing the service life of the projector.
[0044] Example 1:
[0045] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of the automatic control method for the operating current of the projector light source according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the relationship between current and brightness in the automatic control method for the operating current of the projector light source described in this application embodiment.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides an automatic control method for the operating current of a projector light source, including the following steps:
[0047] S1. Obtain the brightness change curve of the projector light source under the condition of increasing the same unit driving current.
[0048] It should be noted that in step S1, the brightness detected by the brightness sensor at different driving currents is obtained, and a brightness variation curve is plotted based on the brightness and current. In this embodiment, the brightness variation curve is constructed with current as the abscissa and brightness value as the ordinate. The brightness variation curve is constructed by a series of different current values with equal arithmetic or equal summation and their corresponding brightness values. The projector light source can be an LED lamp.
[0049] S2. Obtain the curve change rate based on the brightness change curve. If the curve change rate is less than the change threshold, the projector light source is working in a state similar to saturation. At the same time, obtain the first brightness value of the projector light source working in a state similar to saturation.
[0050] It should be noted that in step S2, firstly, the curve change rate is obtained based on the brightness change curve; secondly, the working state of the projector light source is determined based on the curve change rate to determine whether it is in a near-saturation state, and the first brightness value of the projector light source in a near-saturation state is obtained. In this embodiment, the curve change rate can be the ratio of the change in two brightness values to the corresponding change in current, or it can be the average of the ratios of the changes in all two adjacent brightness values to the corresponding changes in current in the brightness change curve. The change threshold can be set according to requirements.
[0051] S3. Obtain the corresponding first driving current from the preset current brightness lookup table according to the first brightness value, and control the operation of the projector light source according to the first driving current to reduce the driving current of the projector light source.
[0052] It should be noted that in step S3, firstly, the first driving current corresponding to the first brightness value is obtained; secondly, the first driving current is used as the driving current for the projector light source to operate. This achieves matching the driving current according to the actual brightness value of the projector, reducing the driving current of the projector light source from operating in a near-saturation state. This avoids the projector light source operating in a consistently near-saturation state, keeping the electro-optical conversion efficiency of the projector light source at a high level. This not only helps reduce the energy consumption of the projector but also reduces the heat generated by the projector light source. Since heat is a key factor limiting the lifespan of the projector light source, and the lifespan of the projector light source is one of the main factors affecting the lifespan of the projector, this automatic adjustment method of the projector light source operating current helps extend the overall lifespan of the projector. In this embodiment, controlling the operation of the projector light source based on the first driving current ensures that the projector light source operates in a non-saturated state.
[0053] like Figure 2As shown in the embodiments of this application, the current-brightness lookup table is a table constructed by extracting data from different current values and their corresponding brightness relationships.
[0054] This application provides an automatic control method for the operating current of a projector light source. The method includes acquiring a brightness change curve of the projector light source under the condition of increasing the driving current by the same unit; acquiring the curve change rate based on the brightness change curve; if the curve change rate is less than a change threshold, the projector light source is operating in a state similar to saturation, and acquiring a first brightness value of the projector light source operating in a state similar to saturation; acquiring the corresponding first driving current from a preset current-brightness lookup table based on the first brightness value; and controlling the operation of the projector light source based on the first driving current to reduce the driving current of the projector light source. This automatic current control method for the projector's light source determines whether the projector's light source is operating in a near-saturation state based on the rate of change of the brightness curve. It adjusts the drive current when the light source is operating in a near-saturation state, matching the actual brightness value of the projector to the corresponding drive current. This reduces the drive current when the light source is operating in a near-saturation state, preventing the light source from consistently operating in this state and maintaining a high electro-optical conversion efficiency. This not only reduces energy consumption but also decreases heat generated by the light source, gradually extending the projector's lifespan. It solves the technical problem of existing projectors with multiple parallel light sources operating in a near-saturation state after a malfunction, failing to adjust the output current according to the operating light source, thus reducing the projector's lifespan.
[0055] In one embodiment of this application, the automatic control method for the operating current of the projector light source includes: S4. If the rate of change of the curve is not less than the change threshold, the projector light source is operating in a non-saturated state, and it is determined whether the projector light source has malfunctioned.
[0056] It should be noted that the automatic adjustment method for the projector's light source operating current also determines whether there is a light source malfunction in the projector if the light source is operating in a non-saturated state.
[0057] Furthermore, determining whether the projector light source is malfunctioning includes:
[0058] At each time interval t, the second brightness value of the projector light source and the second driving current corresponding to the second brightness value are acquired in real time.
[0059] The corresponding preset brightness value is obtained from the current brightness lookup table based on the second driving current, and the brightness difference is determined by comparing the second brightness value with the preset brightness value.
[0060] If the brightness difference is greater than the preset threshold, at least three drive currents with different values greater than the second drive current are used to control the operation of the projector light source and obtain the light source brightness value of the corresponding drive current.
[0061] By comparing the brightness values of all light sources one by one with the second brightness value, the corresponding variable brightness value is obtained. If all variable brightness values are greater than the variable threshold, then at least one light source of the projector has failed.
[0062] If any variable brightness value is not greater than the variable threshold or if the brightness difference is not greater than the preset threshold, then the brightness of the projector light source is monitored in real time at intervals t.
[0063] It should be noted that in determining whether a projector light source has malfunctioned, the process involves: firstly, acquiring a second brightness value and its corresponding second driving current, and comparing it with the second brightness value corresponding to the second driving current value in a current-brightness lookup table; then, determining whether the difference between the second brightness value and a preset brightness value is less than a preset threshold. If the brightness difference is not greater than the preset threshold, the brightness of the projector light source is monitored in real time at intervals t. If the brightness difference is greater than the preset threshold, the brightness values of light sources with larger second driving current values are compared with their corresponding second brightness values to obtain the corresponding variable brightness values. The result of comparing the variable brightness values with the variable threshold is then used to determine whether a light source malfunction has occurred in the projector, thus eliminating interference and improving the accuracy of the judgment. In this embodiment, if the brightness of the projector light source changes significantly under multiple different driving current conditions (i.e., the variable brightness value is greater than the variable threshold), it is determined that the projector light source is damaged. An alarm can then be triggered via a buzzer, allowing staff to identify the abnormal operation of the projector light source. In this embodiment, the preset threshold and variable threshold can be set according to requirements and are not specifically limited here.
[0064] In one embodiment of this application, the automatic control method for the operating current of the projector light source includes: triggering an alarm report if at least one light source of the projector fails, thereby indicating that an abnormality has occurred in the projector.

[0068] The curve acquisition module 10 is used to acquire the brightness change curve of the projector light source under the condition of increasing the same unit driving current;
[0069] The data acquisition module 20 is used to obtain the curve change rate according to the brightness change curve. If the curve change rate is less than the change threshold, the projector light source is working in a similar saturation state. At the same time, the first brightness value of the projector light source working in a similar saturation state is obtained.
[0070] The current regulation module 30 is used to obtain the corresponding first driving current from a preset current brightness lookup table according to the first brightness value, and control the operation of the projector light source according to the first driving current to reduce the driving current of the projector light source.
[0071] In this embodiment of the application, the automatic control device for the operating current of the projector light source includes a fault judgment module, which includes a data acquisition submodule, a search submodule, a first judgment submodule, and a second judgment submodule.
[0072] The data acquisition submodule is used to acquire the second brightness value of the projector light source and the second driving current corresponding to the second brightness value in real time at each time interval t.
[0073] The lookup submodule is used to obtain the corresponding preset brightness value from the current brightness lookup table based on the second driving current, and to determine the brightness difference by comparing the second brightness value with the preset brightness value.
[0074] The first judgment submodule is used to control the operation of the projector light source by using at least three drive currents that are different values larger than the second drive current, based on the brightness difference being greater than a preset threshold, and to obtain the light source brightness value of the corresponding drive current.
[0075] The second judgment submodule is used to compare the brightness values of all light sources one by one with the second brightness value to obtain the corresponding variable brightness value. If all variable brightness values are greater than the variable threshold, then at least one light source of the projector has failed.
[0076] In this embodiment of the application, the fault judgment module is further configured to monitor the brightness of the projector light source in real time at intervals t, based on the fact that any variable brightness value is not greater than the variable threshold or the brightness difference is not greater than the preset threshold.
