[0044] Example 1

[0045] This embodiment provides a cleaning device for an optical engine, referring to... Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning equipment includes a vibration system 3 and a high-pressure airflow system, as referenced. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the optical engine includes a housing 1 and an optical assembly 2. The housing 1 has an internal cavity to accommodate the optical assembly 2. The optical assembly 2 includes a Fresnel lens 21, an LCD screen 22, and a heat-insulating glass 23. The LCD screen 22 includes a first side and a second side facing each other. The Fresnel lens 21 is located on the first side of the LCD screen 22, and the heat-insulating glass 23 is located on the second side of the LCD screen 22. These three components are arranged at intervals to form a first airflow path 24 and a second airflow path 25, that is, the first airflow path 24 is formed between the Fresnel lens 21 and the LCD screen 22, and the second airflow path 25 is formed between the LCD screen 22 and the heat-insulating glass 23. (Refer to...) Figure 4 As shown, the housing 1 is also provided with a first window 11 and a second window 12. The first window 11 is located at the top of the housing 1 and connects the first airflow path 24 to the outside. The second window 12 is located on the side of the housing 1 and connects the second airflow path 25 to the outside.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the vibration system 3 includes a vibrating plate 31, a vibrating element, and a base 34. The vibrating element is installed between the vibrating plate 31 and the base 34, and drives the vibrating plate 31 to vibrate relative to the base 34. The vibrating plate 31 is used to fix the optical engine, thereby driving the optical engine to vibrate.

[0047] The cleaning equipment provided in this embodiment can drive the optical engine to vibrate, causing foreign objects in the inner cavity of the housing 1 and the LCD screen 22 to fall off and be discharged to the outside with the high-pressure airflow. The first window 11 and the second window 12 can also accommodate the insertion of a cleaning rod to wipe the residual foreign objects on both sides of the LCD screen 22, thereby improving the cleaning effect. It can be cleaned before leaving the factory, reducing the rework rate and the probability of secondary pollution.

[0048] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the high-pressure airflow system includes a nozzle plate 41, a first nozzle group 42, a second nozzle group 43, a first air supply assembly 44, and a second air supply assembly 45. The first nozzle group 42 and the second nozzle group 43 are respectively mounted on the nozzle plate 41. The first air supply assembly 44 is connected to the first nozzle group 42, injecting high-pressure airflow into the first airflow path 24 through the first nozzle group 42. The second air supply assembly 45 is connected to the second nozzle group 43, injecting high-pressure airflow into the first airflow path 24 through the second nozzle group 43. (Refer to...) Figure 4 As shown, the first nozzle group 42 includes nozzles A421, B422, C423, and D424, and the second nozzle group 43 includes nozzle E431. Nozzles A421, B422, C423, and D424 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the nozzle plate 41, and nozzle E431 is arranged at the center of the nozzle plate 41. (Refer to...) Figure 6As shown, nozzles A421, B422, C423, and D424 are respectively connected to a first switch 46, which is connected to a first air supply assembly 44. Nozzle E431 is connected to a second switch 47, which is connected to a second air supply assembly 45. The first switch 46 and the second switch 47 can respectively switch the on / off state of the first nozzle group 42 and the second nozzle group 43. When airflow is injected into the first nozzle group 42 and the second nozzle group 43 simultaneously, the nozzles located at the four corners and in the center ensure a sufficiently large and evenly distributed flow rate within the airflow path. When airflow is injected into the second nozzle group 43 alone, nozzle E431, located in the center, supplies air separately, reducing the flow rate within the airflow path while still ensuring even distribution.

[0049] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the vibrating plate 31 is provided with a slide rail assembly 48, and the air nozzle plate 41 is connected to the slide rail assembly 48. The slide rail assembly 48 drives the air nozzle plate 41 to move toward or away from the optical engine. A sealing shell 49 is also provided around the air nozzle plate 41. When the air nozzle plate 41 moves toward the optical engine, the sealing shell 49 makes the air nozzle plate 41 and the housing 1 of the optical engine airtight.

[0050] Specifically, the housing 1 of the optical engine is provided with a heat sink mounting port for installing a heat sink. During the cleaning process, the heat sink is not yet installed, so the sealed shell 49 contacts the lip of the heat sink mounting port to form an airtight seal. The heat sink mounting port is connected to the first airflow path 24, and the high-pressure air injected by the air nozzle flows into the first airflow path 24 after passing through the heat sink mounting port.

[0051] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, a quick clamp 5 is installed on the vibrating plate 31. The quick clamp 5 includes a support column 51, a suspension rod 52, and a clamping rod 53. The support column 51 is installed on the vibrating plate 31. The suspension rod 52 is connected to the support column 51 and suspended above the optical machine. The suspension rod 52 is provided with a sliding groove 54. The clamping rod 53 passes through the sliding groove 54 and can move along the extension direction of the sliding groove 54 and the vertical direction. Two locking nuts 55 are connected to the clamping rod 53. After the clamping rod 53 passes through the sliding groove 54, it clamps the optical machine. The two locking nuts 55 are respectively placed on both sides of the suspension rod 52. The clamping rod 53 and the suspension rod 52 are locked by the two locking nuts 55, thereby clamping the optical machine.

[0052] Before dust removal, the clamping rod 53 clamps the optical machine and drives the air nozzle plate 41 to move towards the optical machine until the sealed shell 49 contacts the lip of the radiator mounting port to form an airtight seal, putting the cleaning equipment into the cleaning preparation state. After cleaning, the clamping rod 53 is released and the air nozzle plate 41 is moved in the opposite direction, allowing the optical machine to be picked up directly.

[0053] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the vibration element includes a spring 33 and a high-frequency vibration motor 32. The four corners of the vibration plate 31 are connected to the base 34 via the springs 33, and the high-frequency vibration motor 32 is connected to both the base 34 and the vibration plate 31. The high-frequency vibration motor 32 drives the vibration plate 31 to vibrate, and the springs 33 provide cushioning. Four side plates 35 are also installed on the base 34, surrounding the vibration plate 31 from all four sides, with gaps between the vibration plate 31 and the side plates 35. When the vibration plate 31 undergoes horizontal displacement, the collision between the vibration plate 31 and the side plates 35 restricts its horizontal displacement and generates vibrations of different frequencies and directions, increasing the type of vibration and thus maximizing the removal of foreign objects from the optical engine and the LCD screen 22.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] Reference Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning method for cleaning an optical engine using the cleaning equipment described in Embodiment 1. The method mainly consists of two steps: a first cleaning stage and a second cleaning stage are performed sequentially.

[0056] In the first cleaning stage and the second cleaning stage, high-pressure airflow is continuously injected into the first airflow path 24, so that the high-pressure airflow carries foreign objects along the first airflow path 24 to the second airflow path 25 and then discharges them to the outside.

[0057] In the first cleaning stage, the vibration system 3 is activated to drive the optical engine to vibrate. Foreign objects inside the optical engine housing 1 and on the LCD screen 22 are dislodged due to the vibration and discharged to the outside under the action of high-pressure airflow, mainly removing foreign objects from the housing 1 and most of the foreign objects on the LCD screen 22.

[0058] In the second cleaning stage, the vibration system 3 is turned off, and cleaning rods are inserted into the first window 11 and the second window 12 respectively to wipe the foreign objects on the first and second sides of the LCD screen 22. Since the foreign objects detached from the inner cavity of the housing 1 during the first cleaning stage may adhere to the LCD screen 22 with the airflow, and the LCD screen 22 itself may also contain foreign objects that are difficult to be removed by vibration, the cleaning rods are used to wipe out or remove the foreign objects, and the removed foreign objects continue to be discharged with the high-pressure airflow, thus thoroughly removing the foreign objects on the LCD screen 22, thereby removing the foreign objects more comprehensively.

[0059] After cleaning is completed, the first window 11 and the second window 12 are sealed with auxiliary materials to form a closed environment inside the shell 1, which prevents foreign objects from entering the inner cavity of the shell 1 during subsequent transportation and use, reduces the probability of contamination, thereby reducing the return rate and improving economic efficiency.

[0060] The cleaning method provided in this embodiment first uses vibration and high-pressure airflow to remove foreign objects from the inner cavity of the housing 1 and most of the foreign objects from the LCD screen 22, and then wipes the foreign objects with a cleaning rod. On the one hand, it reduces the amount of work required for wiping, and on the other hand, it removes foreign objects more thoroughly. Vibrating before wiping also avoids secondary pollution during the cleaning process.

[0061] Specifically, in the first cleaning stage, the first switch 46 and the second switch 47 are turned on, and the first air nozzle group 42 and the second air nozzle group 43 simultaneously inject high-pressure airflow into the first airflow path 24, ensuring that the airflow in the airflow path is sufficiently large and evenly distributed. Since the total amount of foreign matter is relatively large at the beginning of cleaning, and all of them are in a detached state, the sufficient airflow ensures that the detached foreign matter is smoothly discharged. In the second cleaning stage, the first switch 46 is turned off and the second switch 47 is turned on, and the second air nozzle group 43 injects high-pressure airflow into the first airflow path 24 alone, reducing the airflow in the airflow path. On the one hand, this avoids excessive airflow causing the cleaning rod to shake, ensuring the stability of the cleaning rod during operation. On the other hand, in the second cleaning stage, the total amount of foreign matter is relatively small, and some foreign matter is carried out by the cleaning rod. Therefore, the injection of high-pressure airflow by the second air nozzle group 43 alone can also ensure that the detached foreign matter is smoothly discharged with the airflow.

[0062] Specifically, in the second cleaning stage, the optical engine is put into a power-on test interface and projects a picture. The location of the foreign object is determined based on the projected image, and then the cleaning stick is used to wipe it. This allows for precise wiping and improves cleaning efficiency. It should be noted that the optical engine can also be turned on and put into a power-on test interface to project a picture before the first cleaning stage.

[0063] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0064] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
