[0050] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a structural block diagram of a control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the control device is applied to a projector device, which includes a light source 200 and a light engine 100. The control device includes a first light intensity sensor 101, a first controller 102 and a second controller 103, wherein the first light intensity sensor 101 is arranged at the output light of the light engine 100, and is used to detect the first light intensity of the light output from the light engine 100; the first controller 102 is connected to the first light intensity sensor 101 and the light engine 100, respectively, and is used to control the light engine 100 to adjust the first light intensity according to the first light intensity and a preset target light intensity; the second controller 103 is connected to the first controller 102 and the light source 200, respectively, and is used to adjust the second light intensity of the output light of the light source 200 if the first light intensity is adjusted to a first light intensity threshold and the adjusted first light intensity is less than the target light intensity, so as to increase the first light intensity of the light output from the light engine 100.

[0051] It will be understood that the light emitted by the light source 200 presents a specific image after being processed by the light engine 100, and the intensity of the light emitted by the light engine 100 can be directly controlled by the first controller 102. To ensure that the image presented by the light engine 100 reaches the target brightness, it is necessary to detect whether the intensity of the light emitted by the light engine 100 reaches the target intensity, that is, whether the first light intensity reaches the target intensity. The target brightness corresponds to the target intensity. If the first light intensity exceeds the target intensity, the first controller 102 controls the light engine 100 to reduce the first light intensity. If the first light intensity is less than the target intensity, the first controller 102 controls the light engine 100 to increase the first light intensity. If the first light intensity is increased to a preset first intensity threshold but is still less than the target intensity, the second controller 103 can adjust the second intensity of the light emitted by the light source 200, thereby increasing the first intensity. The first light intensity threshold may be the intensity value of the light emitted by the light source 200 when the light engine 100 is operating normally, such as 80% of the intensity value of the light emitted by the light source 200, or may be the maximum intensity value of the light emitted by the light source 200 that can be used by the light engine 100, such as 100% of the intensity value of the light emitted by the light source 200.

[0052] Since the light engine 100 and the light source 200 are each provided with a corresponding controller for control, the problems of heavy workload and high heat generation caused by a single controller can be avoided.

[0053] In this embodiment of the present invention, a first light intensity sensor 101 is positioned at the light output of the light engine 100 to detect a first light intensity of the light output from the light engine 100. A first controller 102 then controls the light engine 100 to adjust the first light intensity based on the first light intensity and a preset target light intensity. If the first light intensity is adjusted to a first light intensity threshold and the adjusted first light intensity is less than the target light intensity, a second controller 103 adjusts the second light intensity of the light output from the light source 200, thereby increasing the first light intensity of the light output from the light engine 100. By detecting the light intensity of the light output from the light engine 100 and collaboratively adjusting the light outputs of the light engine 100 and the light source 200, the accuracy of brightness adjustment in the projector device is improved. Furthermore, compared to directly adjusting the light intensity of the light engine 100, which may fail to achieve the desired brightness, or directly adjusting the light intensity of the light source 200, which may waste electrical energy, this embodiment collaboratively adjusts the light outputs of the light engine 100 and the light source 200, enabling the projector to meet normal operating requirements and optimizing energy utilization.

[0054] In one embodiment, the control device further includes a second light intensity sensor 104, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second light intensity sensor 104 is arranged at the output light of the light source 200, and is used to detect the second light intensity of the output light of the light source 200; the second controller 103 is also connected to the second light intensity sensor 104, and is used to control the light source 200 to reduce the second light intensity if the second light intensity is adjusted to the second light intensity threshold and the first light intensity is less than the target light intensity.

[0055] The second light intensity threshold may be the maximum light intensity of the light emitted by the light source 200. It is understood that when the second light intensity of the light emitted by the light source 200 is adjusted to increase the first light intensity of the light emitted by the light engine 100, the second light intensity may be increased to bring the first light intensity to the target light intensity. If the second light intensity is increased to the second light intensity threshold, it cannot be increased any further. Therefore, to ensure stable operation of the projector device, the second controller 103 may control the light source 200 to reduce the second light intensity.

[0056] In one embodiment, the second light intensity sensor 104 is further used to detect the RGB value of the light emitted by the light source 200 , and the second controller 103 is further used to adjust the light emitted by the light source 200 according to the RGB value and the second light intensity if the first light intensity is equal to the target light intensity.

[0057] It is understood that the light source 200 may include a red laser tube, a green laser tube, and a blue laser tube. Usually, the color light emitted by each laser tube meets a specific light intensity ratio, so that the combined light is white light. After adjusting the output light of the light source 200, the light intensity ratio of the color light emitted by each laser tube will also change. Therefore, when the first light intensity is adjusted to the target light intensity, it is necessary to detect the RGB value of the light emitted by the light source 200 at this time. The RGB value includes the light intensity of the three colors of red, green, and blue. If the RGB value does not meet the ratio requirement, it is necessary to adjust the output light of the light source 200. Since the light intensity of the light emitted by the light source 200 is equal to the sum of the RGB values, in order to meet the light intensity requirement of the light emitted by the light engine 100, when adjusting the output light of the light source 200, it is necessary to ensure that the sum of the RGB values ​​is equal to the second light intensity.

[0058] In one embodiment, the second controller 103 is further configured to calculate an RGB ratio according to the RGB values, and if the RGB ratio exceeds a preset range, adjust the RGB value of the light emitted by the light source 200 according to the second light intensity.

[0059] Specifically, after detecting the sum of the RGB values ​​of the light emitted by the light source 200, the RGB ratio can be calculated based on the RGB values. When the calculated RGB ratio is within the preset range, it means that the light emitted by the current light source 200 meets the white light requirement and there is no need to adjust the light emitted by the light source 200. If it exceeds the preset range, it means that the light emitted by the current light source 200 does not meet the white light requirement. At this time, under the premise that the sum of the RGB values ​​is equal to the second light intensity, the RGB value of the light emitted by the light source 200 is adjusted so that the adjusted RGB value of the light emitted is within the preset range. In this way, the light emitted by the light source 200 can meet the white balance requirement without affecting the light intensity of the light emitted by the light engine 100.

[0060] In one embodiment, the control device further includes a water cooler 106 , which includes a water cooling plate. The water cooling plate is arranged on a side of the lamp bead board of the light source 200 away from the lamp beads. The water cooler 106 is used to cool the lamp bead board.

[0061] Specifically, the lamp beads are laser tubes, and each laser tube is arranged on a circuit board to form a lamp bead board. The laser tubes will generate a lot of heat when working. Therefore, a water cooler 106 can be set outside the projector, and the water cooling plate of the water cooler 106 can be set on the side of the lamp bead board where the lamp beads are not set, so as to cool the lamp bead board.

[0062] It is understandable that temperature changes will cause fluctuations in the output light of the laser tube. Therefore, by setting up a water cooler 106 and using the water cooling plate of the water cooler 106 to cool the lamp bead board, the stability of the output light of the light source 200 is improved, which ultimately helps to improve the accuracy of the light engine 100 and the light source 200 in adjusting the brightness of the projector.

[0063] In one embodiment, the control device further includes a temperature acquisition module 105, such as Figure 3 As shown, the temperature acquisition module 105 is used to collect the temperature of the lamp bead board in the light source 200; the first controller 102 is also connected to the temperature acquisition module 105 and the water cooler 106 respectively, and is used to control the circulating water flow rate of the water cooler 106 according to the temperature of the lamp bead board.

[0064] Specifically, the water chiller 106 removes heat from the LED board by circulating water through the water cooling plate. The temperature acquisition module 105 collects LED board temperature data and transmits it to the first controller 102. The first controller 102 controls the circulating water flow rate of the water chiller 106 based on the LED board temperature. For example, when the LED board temperature is high, the circulating water flow rate can be increased to accelerate heat dissipation; when the LED board temperature is low, the circulating water flow rate can be reduced to reduce the energy consumption of the water chiller 106. In one embodiment, the LED board temperature can be mapped to the circulating water flow rate. The water chiller 106 is controlled to operate at a corresponding flow rate for different LED board temperatures, thereby maintaining the projector operating within a normal temperature range.

[0065] In one embodiment, a second controller 103 or a separate temperature controller may be provided to connect with the temperature acquisition module 105 , so as to control the circulating water flow rate of the water chiller 106 according to the temperature of the lamp bead board.

[0066] In one embodiment, the temperature acquisition module 105 may include a plurality of temperature sensors, each of which is respectively disposed at the light output of the light source 200 , the base of the light source 200 , or a water-cooled plate.

[0067] It is understandable that due to space and volume limitations, wiring on the lamp bead board is difficult. Instead of directly placing a temperature sensor on the lamp bead board to collect the lamp bead board temperature, a sensor can be placed near the lamp bead board, and the temperature near the lamp bead board can be used to characterize the lamp bead board temperature. Specifically, multiple temperature sensors can be placed near the lamp bead board to improve the accuracy of temperature measurement. Specifically, multiple temperature sensors can collect multiple temperature data, and the temperature data with the largest value can be used as the lamp bead board temperature. When the lamp bead board temperature reaches the temperature threshold, it can be determined that the lamp bead board temperature is too high.

[0068] It should be noted that the temperature sensor can be set at any location near the lamp bead board and convenient for wiring, and is not limited to the above locations.

[0069] In one embodiment, the control device further includes a current detection module 107, such as Figure 4As shown, the current detection module 107 is used to detect the driving current of each lamp bead of the light source 200; the first controller 102 is connected to the current detection module 107 and the light source 200 respectively, and is used to control the spare lamp beads of the abnormal lamp beads to light up or reduce the light intensity of the lamp beads with different colors from the abnormal lamp beads, where the abnormal lamp beads are lamp beads with abnormal driving current.

[0070] Specifically, an abnormal lamp bead may be a lamp bead whose driving current is less than the current threshold. It is understandable that there are usually multiple lamp beads of different colors on a lamp bead board, and the intensity of light emitted by lamp beads of different colors is different, so the number of lamp beads of different colors may be different, for example, there are 16 red beads, 8 green beads, and 6 blue beads each. Generally, the number can be adjusted according to actual needs. As a rule of thumb, the number of red lights is greater than the number of green lights, and the number of green lights is greater than the number of blue lights. Abnormal lamp beads can be determined by detecting the current of lamp beads of various colors. When an abnormal lamp bead exists, if the abnormal lamp bead is provided with a spare lamp bead, the spare lamp bead can be controlled to light up. If there is no spare lamp bead or the number of abnormal lamp beads exceeds the spare lamp bead, the light intensity of lamp beads of other colors can be reduced. Specifically, in one embodiment, if one of the red lamp beads is abnormally off, the current of the lamp beads of other colors will be reduced first, thereby reducing the light intensity of the lamp beads of other colors. If the RGB color ratio still cannot be met, a green lamp bead can be turned off and the current can be adjusted. If the RGB color ratio still cannot be met, a blue lamp bead can be turned off as a last resort.

[0071] In one embodiment, the second controller 103 is further configured to set a light intensity adjustment step and control the light source 200 to increase the second light intensity according to the light intensity adjustment step. The first controller 102 is further configured to control the light engine 100 to reduce the first light intensity if the first light intensity is greater than the target light intensity.

[0072] Specifically, when the first light intensity is adjusted to the first light intensity threshold, and the adjusted first light intensity is less than the target light intensity, the second light intensity can be gradually increased with a preset light intensity adjustment step, so that the first light intensity gradually approaches the target light intensity. In one embodiment, after each adjustment of the second light intensity with a preset light intensity adjustment step, the second light intensity sensor 104 can also detect the RGB value of the light emitted by the light source 200, and then adjust the RGB value of the light emitted by the light source 200 according to a preset RGB ratio. In this way, by setting the light intensity adjustment step to adjust the second light intensity, the first light intensity is more easily adjusted to the target light intensity, and by adjusting the RGB value after each light intensity adjustment, the RGB value correction amount each time is smaller, and the correction difficulty is lower. Among them, the light intensity adjustment step can be set to a specific proportional value of the second light intensity, for example, it can be 2% of the second light intensity.

[0073] In one embodiment, the first controller 102 is further configured to control the light engine 100 to reduce the first light intensity if the first light intensity is greater than the target light intensity.

[0074] It is understood that when the second light intensity is adjusted with the light intensity adjustment step, if the first light intensity is adjusted to a value greater than the target light intensity in one round of adjustment, the light engine 100 can be controlled to perform fine adjustment to reduce the first light intensity to reach the target light intensity.

[0075] In one embodiment, the control device may further include an input module, such as Figure 5 As shown, the input module is used to input user instructions, which include target brightness; the first controller 102 is also connected to the input module, and is used to obtain the target light intensity according to the user instructions.

[0076] It can be understood that the input module can be a human-computer interaction module, and the user can input user instructions through the human-computer interaction module. The user instructions include target brightness, and the target light intensity can be obtained according to the target brightness.

[0077] In one embodiment, the user instruction may further include a water chiller 106 control instruction, which is used to instruct to turn on / off the water chiller 106 or to instruct the circulating water flow rate of the water chiller 106 .

[0078] In one embodiment, the control device may further include a storage module connected to the first controller 102 and the second controller 103 respectively, for storing target brightness, target intensity, RGB ratio, first light intensity threshold and second light intensity threshold, etc.

[0079] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a control method applied to a projector device. The projector device includes a light source 200 and a light engine 100. The control method includes steps S110 to S130.

[0080] Step S110 : detecting a first light intensity of light emitted by the light engine 100 .

[0081] Step S120 : controlling the light engine 100 to adjust the first light intensity according to the first light intensity and a preset target light intensity.

[0082] Specifically, if the first light intensity is less than the target light intensity, the light engine 100 is controlled to increase the first light intensity; if the first light intensity is greater than the target light intensity, the light engine 100 is controlled to decrease the first light intensity.

[0083] In step S130 , if the first light intensity is adjusted to the first light intensity threshold and the adjusted first light intensity is less than the target light intensity, the second light intensity of the light emitted by the light source 200 is adjusted to increase the first light intensity of the light emitted by the light engine 100 .

[0084] The first light intensity threshold may be the intensity value of the light emitted by the light source 200 when the light engine 100 is operating normally, such as 80% of the intensity value of the light emitted by the light source 200, or may be the maximum intensity value of the light emitted by the light source 200 that can be used by the light engine 100, such as 100% of the intensity value of the light emitted by the light source 200.

[0085] This embodiment of the present invention detects the first intensity of light emitted by light engine 100 and then controls light engine 100 to adjust the first intensity based on the first intensity and a preset target intensity. If the first intensity is adjusted to a first intensity threshold and the adjusted first intensity is less than the target intensity, the second intensity of light emitted by light source 200 is adjusted to increase the first intensity of light emitted by light engine 100. By detecting the intensity of light emitted by light engine 100 and collaboratively adjusting the light emitted by light engine 100 and light source 200, the accuracy of brightness adjustment of the projector device is improved. Furthermore, compared to directly adjusting the intensity of light engine 100, which may result in failure to achieve the required brightness, and directly adjusting the intensity of light source 200, which may result in wasted energy, this embodiment collaboratively adjusts the light emitted by light engine 100 and light source 200, enabling the projector to meet normal operating requirements and optimizing energy utilization.

[0086] In one embodiment, after the step of adjusting the second light intensity of the output light of the light source 200, the control method further includes detecting the second light intensity of the output light of the light source 200; if the second light intensity is adjusted to a second light intensity threshold and the first light intensity is less than the target light intensity, controlling the light source 200 to reduce the second light intensity.

[0087] In one embodiment, after the step of adjusting the second light intensity of the light emitted by the light source 200, the control method further includes detecting the RGB value of the light emitted by the light source 200. If the first light intensity is equal to the target light intensity, the light emitted by the light source 200 is adjusted according to the RGB value and the second light intensity.

[0088] In one embodiment, the step of adjusting the light emitted from the light source 200 according to the RGB value and the second light intensity includes: calculating the RGB ratio according to the RGB value, and adjusting the RGB value of the light emitted from the light source 200 according to the second light intensity if the RGB ratio exceeds a preset range.
