[0037] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] As a product for scenario-based requirements, intelligent projection products need to cover functions for the usage scenarios more. Currently, projection products can carry a variety of intelligent algorithms by themselves: automatic calibration, automatic focusing, automatic trapezoidal correction, automatic screen entry, etc. The above algorithms all need to use a camera and a TOF (Time of Flight) component to implement the algorithm solutions. However, currently, the relevant intelligent algorithms for ultra-short-throw projection require two or more camera modules because the existing camera focal lengths are long focal lengths and cannot achieve full-screen collection of large-angle light rays similar to ultra-short-throw.

[0039] Based on this, the present application provides a projection device, which can internally install an ultra-short-throw imaging camera in the projection lens. The ultra-short-throw imaging camera includes a photosensitive module, a lens group, and a mirror module. Among them, the mirror module reflects the light beam emitted from the projection screen to the lens group, and the light beam enters the photosensitive module through the lens group. The photosensitive module is used to generate corresponding images. Since the ultra-short-throw camera of the present application can expand the range of the light beam emitted from the projection screen received through the mirror module, the image of the projection device projected can be captured within a smaller projection distance, achieving full-screen collection of large-angle light rays, and there is no need for multiple long-focal-length or short-focal-length cameras to collect images, simplifying the system structure of the projection device.

[0040] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the working principle of an ultra-short-throw imaging camera based on a projection lens provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the projection lens 11 includes a lens assembly 111 and a first reflector 112. The light beam emitted from the lens assembly 111 is reflected by the first reflector 112 to the projection screen 13. The light beam emitted from the projection screen 13 can enter the ultra-short-throw imaging camera 12. The ultra-short-throw imaging camera 12 is located inside the projection lens 11 and can perform image acquisition, generate corresponding images, and send the images to the main chip for processing to obtain the position information of the projection screen 13, etc.

[0041] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of a projection device provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the projection device includes:

[0042] A projection lens 11 for projecting a projection image onto a projection screen 13;

[0043] The ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is located within the projection lens 11 and includes a photosensitive module 121, a lens group 122, and a mirror module 123. The mirror module 123 is configured to reflect the light beam emitted from the projection screen 13 to the lens group 122, so as to be incident on the photosensitive module 121 through the lens group 122, and the photosensitive module 121 is used to generate a corresponding image.

[0044] In some embodiments, based on the optical function division, in addition to the projection lens 11, the projection device may further include a light source and an optical engine. Among them, the light source is used to provide a light source illumination beam, which may be a laser light source and includes lasers of at least one color. The optical engine includes an illumination optical path and a light valve modulation device. After the illumination beam provided by the light source is transmitted through the illumination optical path, it is incident on the light valve modulation device, and the light valve modulation device transmits the beam to the projection lens 11, so that the projection lens 11 projects the beam onto the projection screen 13, and a projection image is displayed on the projection screen 13.

[0045] Among them, in the DLP (Digital Light Processing) projection architecture, the light valve modulation device may be a DMD (Digital Micromirror Device). There are thousands of tiny mirrors on the surface of the DMD, which can be flipped at a positive angle or a negative angle to reflect the beam irradiating its surface into the projection lens 11.

[0046] In some embodiments, the projection lens 11 may be an ultra-short focus projection lens. At this time, the projection device may be referred to as an ultra-short focus projection device. Ultra-short focus generally means that the light beam emitted from the projection lens is incident on the projection screen 13 after being reflected by a curved mirror.

[0047] For the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 of the present application, the projection ratio range may be less than or equal to 0.25, and it can simultaneously satisfy the image taking of the projection ratio of 0.25 and below. In one implementation scenario, the projection ratio of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is 0.15 - 0.25.

[0048] The architectural principle of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is basically the same as that of the ultra-short focus projection lens, including a mirror module 123 and a lens group 122. The lens group 122 and the mirror module 123 are used for image collection. Among them, the lens group 122 may include multiple lenses to make the beam reflected by the mirror module 123 incident on the photosensitive module 121. In some embodiments, the mirror module 123 is a convex mirror, or a concave mirror, or a plane mirror. For details, please refer to Figure 3 as shown, Figure 3 which is a schematic structural diagram of a mirror module provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0049] In addition to the mirror module 123 and the lens group 122, the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 further includes a photosensitive module 121 to generate corresponding images, that is, to achieve image acquisition. In one implementation scenario, the photosensitive module 121 can be a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) photosensitive module 121.

[0050] In one implementation scenario, the image generated by the photosensitive module 121 is a screen image including the projection screen 13, and the image can be sent to the main chip of the projection device. The main chip can then process and analyze the image to obtain specific position information of the projection screen 13, etc. Further, automatic correction, autofocus, automatic trapezoid correction, automatic screen entry, etc. can be achieved according to the specific position information of the projection screen 13.

[0051] In some embodiments, the projection lens 11 includes a first reflector bowl 112, and the distance from the first reflector bowl 112 to the projection screen 13 is greater than or equal to the distance from the mirror module 123 to the projection screen 13.

[0052] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the axial position relationship of an ultra-short focus imaging camera provided by an embodiment of the present application Figure 1 , the axis is the direction where the optical axis O2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is located or the direction where the optical axis O1 of the projection lens 11 is located, and the two directions are the same. Refer to Figure 4 As shown, the distance from the first reflector bowl 112 to the projection screen 13 is denoted as H1, and the distance from the mirror module 123 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 to the projection screen 13 is denoted as H2, H1≥H2. From Figure 4 it can be seen that at this time, the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is located between the first reflector bowl 112 and the projection screen 13, so that the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is located inside the projection lens 11.

[0053] In another implementation scenario, if the distance H1 from the first reflector bowl 112 to the projection screen 13 is less than the distance H2 from the mirror module 123 to the projection screen 13, that is, when H1<H2, at this time, compared with the first reflector bowl 112, the mirror module 123 is farther from the projection screen 13, indicating that at this time the mirror module 123 is not located inside the projection lens 11, that is, the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is not located inside the projection lens 11.

[0054] In an implementation scenario, in addition to the first reflector bowl 112, the projection lens 11 may further include a lens assembly 111, and the lens assembly 111 includes a plurality of lenses. The ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 may be located in the cavity between the first reflector bowl 112 and the first lens close to the first reflector bowl 112. Alternatively, if in the lens assembly 111, the upper region of one or more lenses close to the first reflector bowl 112 does not transmit the light beam reflected by the first reflector bowl 112 to the projection screen 13, the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 may also be located in the upper region of the corresponding one or more lenses.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first projection ratio of the projection lens 11 is greater than or equal to the second projection ratio of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12.

[0056] In an implementation scenario, the projection ratio is the ratio of the projection distance to the picture width, and reference can be made to Figure 5 as shown Figure 5 which is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the projection distance and the picture width provided by the embodiments of the present application. Wherein, W represents the picture width and L represents the projection distance. Generally, the smaller the projection ratio, the larger the picture size that can be projected at the same projection distance.

[0057] For the projection lens 11 and the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12, corresponding to the same projection screen 13, the picture widths corresponding to the two are the same. Therefore, the first projection ratio of the projection lens 11 can be characterized by the projection distance of the projection lens 11, and the second projection ratio of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 can be characterized by the projection distance corresponding to the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12.

[0058] The projection distance of the projection lens 11 is the distance H1 between the first reflector bowl 112 and the projection screen 13, and the projection distance corresponding to the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is the distance H2 between the mirror module and the projection screen 13. Since the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 needs to be located inside the projection lens 11, it can be seen from the above embodiments that the distance H1 from the first reflector bowl 112 to the projection screen 13 is greater than or equal to the distance H2 from the mirror module 123 to the projection screen 13, that is, the projection distance of the projection lens 11 is greater than or equal to the projection distance of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12. Since the projection ratio is proportional to the projection distance, the first projection ratio of the projection lens 11 is greater than or equal to the second projection ratio of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12.

[0059] The first projection ratio can be denoted as T1, the second projection ratio can be denoted as T2, and the first projection ratio of the projection lens 11 being greater than or equal to the second projection ratio of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 means T1≥T2.

[0060] In an implementation scenario, to enable the light emitted from the projection screen 13 to enter the ultra-short-focus imaging camera 12, the projection screen 13 can be a screen capable of diffuse reflection, such as a white wall or a screen without a Fresnel structure, etc.

[0061] In some embodiments, the projection device includes a second reflecting bowl. Among them, the first reflection area of the second reflecting bowl is the first reflecting bowl 112, and the second reflection area is the mirror module 123. That is, the projection lens 11 and the ultra-short-focus imaging camera 12 share the second reflecting bowl, and the ultra-short-focus imaging camera 12 does not need to be provided with a separate mirror module 123.

[0062] An embodiment of the present application provides a projection device, including a projection lens 11 and an ultra-short-focus imaging camera 12. Among them, the projection lens 11 can be used to project a projection image onto the projection screen 13. The ultra-short-focus imaging camera 12 is located inside the projection lens 11 and includes a photosensitive module 121, a lens group 122, and a mirror module 123. The mirror module 123 can be used to reflect the light beam emitted from the projection screen 13 to the lens group 122, and enter the photosensitive module 121 through the lens group 122, so that the photosensitive module 121 generates a corresponding image to achieve image acquisition. In this application, the ultra-short-focus imaging camera 12 is built into the projection lens 11, and image acquisition is achieved by cooperating with the aspherical mirror of the projection lens 11, that is, the first reflecting bowl 112. Based on the mirror module 123 included in the ultra-short-focus imaging camera 12, the range of the light beam emitted from the projection screen 13 received can be expanded, and the image of the projection device projected on the projection screen 13 can be completely acquired within a smaller projection distance, that is, the projection ratio is smaller. Therefore, for an ultra-short-focus projection device, only one ultra-short-focus imaging camera 12 is required to achieve full-screen collection of large-angle light, without two or more long-focus cameras or short-focus cameras, simplifying the system structure of the projection device.

[0063] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the projection lens 11 further includes a lens assembly 111, and the lens closest to the first reflecting bowl 112 in the lens assembly 111 is the first lens;

[0064] The length of the ultra-short-focus imaging camera 12 is less than the distance from the first reflecting bowl 112 to the first lens; wherein, the length of the ultra-short-focus imaging camera 12 is the distance between the photosensitive module 121 and the mirror module 123.

[0065] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the axial position relationship of an ultra-short-focus imaging camera provided by an embodiment of the present application Figure 2 for reference Figure 6As shown in the figure, the distance from the first reflecting bowl 112 to the first lens 1111 is the difference between the distance H1 from the first reflecting bowl 112 to the projection screen 13 and the distance L1 from the first lens 1111 to the projection screen 13. The length of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is the distance between the mirror module 123 and the photosensitive module 121, which can be denoted as L2. The length L2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is less than the distance from the first reflecting bowl 112 to the first lens 1111, that is, L2 < H1 - L1, where H1 - L1 is the distance from the first reflecting bowl 112 to the first lens 1111.

[0066] In an implementation scenario, when the length L2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is less than the distance H1 - L1 between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111, the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 can be located in the cavity between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111. At this time, the sum of the distance L1 from the first lens 1111 to the projection screen 13 and the length L2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is less than the distance H2 from the mirror module 123 to the projection screen 13, that is, L1 + L2 < H2. At this time, the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is located between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111.

[0067] Or, L1 + L2 < H2 can also be transformed into H2 - L2 > L1, which can be combined with Figure 6 As shown in the figure, H2 - L2 is the distance between the photosensitive module 121 and the projection screen 13. The distance H2 - L2 between the photosensitive module 121 and the projection screen 13 is greater than the distance L1 between the first lens 1111 and the projection screen 13. And the distance H1 between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the projection screen 13 is greater than the distance H2 between the mirror group and the projection screen 13. Therefore, it can be shown that the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is located in the cavity between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111.

[0068] In summary, by setting the length L2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 to be less than the difference between the distance H1 from the first reflecting bowl 112 to the projection screen 13 and the distance L1 from the first lens 1111 to the projection screen 13, that is, the length L2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is less than the distance between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111. Further, by setting the sum of the distance L1 from the first lens 1111 to the projection screen 13 and the length L2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 to be less than the distance H2 from the mirror module 123 to the lens screen, the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is located in the cavity between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111.

[0069] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the projection lens 11 further includes a lens assembly 111, and the lens closest to the first reflecting bowl 112 in the lens assembly 111 is the first lens 1111;

[0070] The sum of the distance from the first lens 1111 to the projection screen 13 and the length of the ultra-short focal length imaging camera 12 is greater than or equal to the distance from the mirror module 123 to the projection screen 13.

[0071] In an implementation scenario, the first reflecting bowl 112 reflects a light beam towards the projection screen 13. The projection of the light beam on the first reflecting bowl 112 has two endpoints, namely Figure 7 the shown M1 and M2, Figure 7 which is a schematic diagram of the axial position relationship of an ultra-short focal length imaging camera provided by an embodiment of the present application Figure 3 . Similarly, there are also two corresponding endpoints when the light beam is projected onto the screen, namely Figure 7 the shown P1 and P2. The connection line between endpoint M1 and endpoint P1 is used as the first target connection line, and the connection line between endpoint M2 and endpoint P2 is used as the second target connection line.

[0072] If in the lens assembly 111, one or more lenses close to the first reflecting bowl 112 are located below the first target connection line and below the second target connection line, at this time the ultra-short focal length imaging camera 12 can be located above the first target connection line and the second target connection line. At this time, the light beam reflected by the first reflecting bowl 112 towards the projection screen 13 does not pass through the area where the ultra-short focal length imaging camera 12 is located, and the area where the light beam reflected by the first reflecting bowl 112 towards the projection screen 13 is the area formed by the first target connection line and the second target connection line.

[0073] When the ultra-short focal length imaging camera 12 is located above the first target connection line and the second target connection line, combined with Figure 7 it can be known that the sum of the distance L1 from the first lens 1111 to the projection screen 13 and the length L2 of the ultra-short focal length imaging camera 12 is greater than or equal to the distance H2 from the mirror module 123 to the projection screen 13, that is, L1 + L2 ≥ H2. At this time, it can be shown that the ultra-short focal length imaging camera 12 is not located between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111, but is located above the first target connection line and the second target connection line.

[0074] It should be noted that since the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is located above the first target connection line and the second target connection line and not in the cavity between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111, the length L2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is not limited by the distance between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111. That is, the length L2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 can be greater than or equal to the distance H1 - L1 between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111, i.e., L2 ≥ H1 - L1.

[0075] In summary, when in the projection lens 11, the multiple lenses included in the lens assembly 111 are located below the first target connection line and the second target connection line, the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 can be located above the first target connection line and the second target connection line. At this time, the sum of the distance L1 from the first lens 1111 to the projection screen 13 and the length L2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is greater than or equal to the distance H2 from the mirror module 123 to the projection screen 13. Compared with the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 being located between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111, it avoids the length L2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 being limited by the distance between the first reflecting bowl 112 and the first lens 1111.

[0076] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the distance between the optical axis of the projection lens 11 and the bottom of the projection screen 13 is greater than the distance between the optical axis of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 and the optical axis of the projection lens 11. The bottom of the projection screen 13 is the side close to the projection lens 11.

[0077] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the vertical position relationship of an ultra-short focus imaging camera provided by an embodiment of the present application Figure 1 , where the vertical direction is the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 or the optical axis of the projection lens 11. Refer to Figure 8 As shown, the optical axis of the projection lens 11 is denoted as O1, and the distance between the optical axis O1 of the projection lens 11 and the bottom of the projection screen 13 is denoted as F1, which represents the OFFSET height or bias height of the projection lens 11. The optical axis of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is O2, and the distance between the optical axis O2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 and the optical axis O1 of the projection lens 11 is the bias height F2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12. When F1 > F2, the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 can be located in the area between the optical axis of the projection lens 11 and the bottom of the projection screen 13 to further limit the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 within the projection lens 11, and at the same time, both F1 and F2 are greater than 0.

[0078] Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the vertical position relationship of an ultra-short focus imaging camera provided by an embodiment of the present application Figure 2。In another implementation scenario, when the distance F1 between the optical axis O1 of the projection lens 11 and the bottom of the projection screen 13 is less than or equal to the distance F2 between the optical axis O2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 and the optical axis O1 of the projection lens 11, reference can be made to Figure 9 As shown, the optical axis O2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 will be located above the plane where the bottom of the projection lens 11 is located. Since there will be a certain area between the projection lens 11 and the bottom of the projection screen 13, that is, the optical axis of the projection lens 11 is located below the bottom of the projection screen 13, the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is located outside the projection lens 11 at this time.

[0079] Combined with the above embodiments, Figure 10 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the positional relationship between an ultra-short focus imaging camera and a projection lens provided by an embodiment of the present application, and reference can be made to Figure 10 As shown. Except Figure 10 outside the external position where the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is located as shown, it can also be located in Figure 9 the area covered by the dotted line in

[0080] In summary, by limiting the vertical position of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12, specifically, setting the distance F1 between the optical axis O1 of the projection lens 11 and the bottom of the projection screen 13 to be greater than the distance F2 between the optical axis O2 of the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 and the optical axis O1 of the projection lens 11, the ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 can be further set to be located inside the projection lens 11.

[0081] An embodiment of the present application provides an ultra-short focus imaging camera 12. The ultra-short focus imaging camera 12 is located inside the projection lens 11 and includes a photosensitive module 121, a lens group 122, and a mirror module 123. The mirror module 123 is used to reflect the light beam emitted from the projection screen 13 to the lens group 122, so as to be incident on the photosensitive module 121 through the lens group 122, and the photosensitive module 121 is used to generate a corresponding image.
