Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of projector lens adjustment, and in particular to a projector lens adjustment method, device, storage medium and computer equipment. Background Art

[0002] A projector is a device that can project images or videos onto a screen. Among them, a liquid crystal projector is also called an LCD projector. A liquid crystal projector is a device that combines liquid crystal display technology with an optical system. It changes the transmittance and reflectivity by controlling the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules, thereby producing images with different gray levels and colors. The basic principle of liquid crystal projection is to use an LCD liquid crystal module to modulate the color light emitted by the light source and projected onto the screen. In order to accurately project the color of the image, it is necessary to separate the color of the light source into three colors: R, G, and B, and then merge them into one and project them onto the screen using a projection lens. Liquid crystal projectors are divided into two types: Video type that cannot be connected to a computer and Data type that can be connected to a computer due to the different electronic signals they receive. According to the different positions of the viewer and the screen, they can be divided into front projection type (Front Projector) and rear projection type (integrated with the screen) (Rear Projector). Due to the different number of LCD panels used, they can be divided into single-chip type and three-chip type.

[0003] However, when the LCD projector automatically focuses, if the tilt angle is large, it will cause uncertainty in the position of the lens after focusing. Therefore, the vibration generated by the LCD projector playing music will cause the lens to be out of focus, affecting the stability and clarity of the projected image. Summary of the invention

The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0044] See also Figure 1 , which is a flow chart of a projector lens adjustment method according to an embodiment of the present application, comprising:

[0045] S1: In response to the focus instruction, perform projection focus until a lens position corresponding to a clear projection image is obtained.

[0046] The focus instruction may be an instruction automatically generated when the projector is turned on, or may be an instruction generated in response to a user's operation on the projector's operation panel, remote controller, or remote control software.

[0047] S2: Obtain the installation posture of the projector and the projection angle under the installation posture.

[0048] Wherein, the step S2: obtaining the installation posture of the projector and the projection angle under the installation posture comprises:

[0049] S21: Acquire the installation posture of the projector according to the gravity sensor.

[0050] The direction in which the projector is subjected to gravity can be detected by the gravity sensor, and then the installation posture of the projector can be judged as a plane upward projection posture or a hanging downward projection posture according to the direction of gravity. In some feasible embodiments, the reference directions up and down can be preset on the gravity sensor, and when the direction of gravity is close to the down direction, the installation posture of the projector is judged as a plane upward projection posture, and when the direction of gravity is close to the up direction, the installation posture of the projector is judged as a hanging downward projection posture.

[0051] S22: Determine the projection direction of the projection lens according to the installation posture.

[0052] The angular difference between the projection direction of the projection lens and the preset reference direction is 90°. After confirming the installation posture of the projector, the projection direction of the projection lens can be obtained based on the angle between the gravity direction detected by the gravity sensor and the horizontal direction.

[0053] S23: Obtaining the projection angle according to the angle between the projection direction and the horizontal direction.

[0054] S3: fine-tuning the lens position according to the installation posture and the projection angle so that the projection lens is located at a preset extreme position, so as to adjust the lens virtual position of the projection lens.

[0055] See also Figure 2Among them, the kinetic energy of the motor can be transferred to the lens housing through the connection relationship between the driving wheel connected to the motor and the meshing teeth of the lens housing, and the lens housing is provided with a guide groove for guiding the movement of the projection lens, and the outer side of the projection lens is provided with a guide rod located in the guide groove. When the lens housing rotates slightly due to the action of the motor, the guide rod moves slightly along the guide rod to drive the projection lens to move accordingly, thereby achieving the function of fine-tuning the lens position and making the projection lens located at a preset extreme position.

[0056] The step S3: fine-tuning the lens position according to the installation posture and the projection angle so that the projection lens is located at a preset limit position to adjust the lens virtual position of the projection lens, comprises:

[0057] S31: If the installation posture is a planar upward projection posture, and the upward projection angle is greater than or equal to a preset angle threshold, fine-tune the lens position so that the projection lens is located at a preset outward limit position to adjust the outward virtual position of the projection lens.

[0058] Among them, the posture of plane projection is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the preset angle threshold is 5°, and the projection lens is located at the preset outward limit position as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, specifically, relative to Figure 2 , it can be seen Figure 4 The guide rod is located farther from the edge of the guide groove.

[0059] S32: If the installation posture is a hanging downward projection posture, and the downward projection angle is greater than or equal to a preset angle threshold, fine-tune the lens position so that the projection lens is located at a preset inward limit position to adjust the inward movement of the lens virtual position of the projection lens.

[0060] Among them, the posture of hoisting and dropping is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the preset angle threshold is 5° and the projection lens is located at the preset outward limit position. Figure 6 As shown, specifically, relative to Figure 2 , it can be seen Figure 6 The guide rod is located closer to the edge of the guide groove.

[0061] Compared with the prior art, the present application can fine-tune the lens position of the projector according to the installation posture of the projector and the projection angle under the installation posture after the projector completes the projection focus, so that the projection lens is located at a preset extreme position to adjust the lens virtual position of the projection lens. Since the projection lens is at the extreme position, the impact of vibration on the projection lens is reduced, the stability of the projection lens and its corresponding lens virtual position is improved, and the stability and clarity of the projection picture of the projector can be maintained when affected by vibration.

[0062] Among them, the reasons why the projection lens is located in an extreme position can improve mechanical stability include:

[0063] Design of the guide groove: The extreme position can be the position where the groove width of the guide groove becomes narrower. When the projection lens is at the extreme position, the groove width of the guide rod guide groove becomes narrower, so that the contact between the guide rod and the groove wall of the guide groove is tightened, which further increases the friction and makes the lens more difficult to move.

[0064] Fixed position at the limit: When the lens is at the preset limit position, the contact surface between the lens and the lens housing is larger and the mechanical structure is more stable. This stable structure can reduce the impact of external vibration on the lens position.

[0065] Reduced degrees of freedom: At the extreme positions, the lens has minimal degrees of freedom, which means that the range of movement of the lens when subjected to vibrations is limited, thereby reducing changes in the lens position.

[0066] Increased friction: Increased friction: When the lens is at the extreme position, the friction between the lens and the guide groove increases. This increased friction can effectively resist the displacement caused by external vibration.

[0068] The focusing module is used to perform projection focusing in response to a focusing instruction until a lens position corresponding to a clear projection image is obtained;

[0070] The fine-tuning module is used to fine-tune the lens position according to the installation posture and the projection angle, so that the projection lens is located at a preset extreme position, so as to adjust the lens virtual position of the projection lens.

[0073] A projection direction determining unit, used to determine the projection direction of the projection lens according to the installation posture;
