In addition, in the description of the present invention, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used only to distinguish descriptions and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] The detailed description and technical contents of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying drawings are only provided for reference and illustration and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of the configuration of a water-cooled device with a projection function according to the present invention. The water-cooled device with a projection function 1 according to the present invention includes a housing 10, a control board 20, a device body 30, a water-cooling radiator 40, and a plurality of connecting pipes 50. The control board 20, the device body 30, and the water-cooling radiator 40 are all disposed within the housing 10. The device body 30 is electrically connected to the control board 20. Furthermore, the control board 20 is a motherboard having components such as a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory unit, and can be connected to an external device to control the operation of the device body 30. The water-cooling radiator 40 is connected to the device body 30 via the connecting pipes 50. The water-cooled device with a projection function 1 is described in more detail below.

[0032] The housing 10 of the present invention includes a housing 11 having a projection area 12. The housing 10 can be made of materials such as metal, plastic, or glass. In this embodiment, the housing 11 is a glass plate, and the projection area 12 is a frosted glass surface. The device body 30 includes a heat dissipation housing 31.

[0033] Please also take Figures 2 to 4 , which are schematic three-dimensional external views and combined cross-sectional views of the device body 30 of the present invention from two sides. The device body 30 of the present invention comprises a heat sink housing 31, a water-cooling pump assembly 32 housed within the housing, a projection module 33, and a cooling fan 34. The housing 31 includes a support base 35 positioned below the lens and is provided with a plurality of external heat dissipation holes 310. In this embodiment, the support base 35 is located within the housing 31.

[0034] The water-cooling pump assembly 32 includes a water-cooling plate assembly 321 thermally connected to the control board 20 and a water pump 322 coupled to the water-cooling plate assembly 321. The water-cooling pump assembly 32 further includes a motor control board 323, a water inlet pipe 324, and a water outlet pipe 325. The motor control board 323 controls the operation of the water-cooling pump assembly 32, the projection module 33, and the cooling fan 34. It is located on the side of the water pump 322 away from the water-cooling plate assembly 321. The water-cooling radiator 40 is connected to the water inlet pipe 324 and the water outlet pipe 325 via connecting pipes 50, and further connected to the water-cooling radiator 40, cooling the device body 30. The cooling fan 34 is coupled to a bottom surface of the projection module 33 away from the lens 331 to dissipate heat from the projection module 33. The motor control board 323 is located below and at a distance from the cooling fan 34. In this embodiment, the cooling fan 34 is fixed to the bottom of the supporting base 35 .

[0035] It should be noted that when the cooling fan 34 is running, the airflow in the heat dissipation housing 31 will pass through the inner heat dissipation holes 350 and the outer heat dissipation holes 310 to cool the projection module 33 by convection, thereby preventing the projection module 33 from being damaged by excessive temperature.

[0036] Furthermore, the projection module 33 is disposed in the support base 35, and the projection module 33 has a lens 331. The light emitted by the projection module 33 is projected onto the projection area 12 (see FIG. Figure 1 ). Furthermore, the lens 331 is exposed on a top surface 313 of the heat sink housing 31. The support base 35 has an opening 351 on a side facing the lens 331, and the support base 35 is provided with a plurality of internal heat dissipation holes 350. In this embodiment, the heat sink housing 31 has a slot 311; the lens 331 is embedded in the slot 311 and is clamped and fixed between the support base 35 and the heat sink housing 31.

[0037] Accordingly, the heat generated by the heating element (such as the CPU) on the control board 20 will be transferred to the coolant inside the water-cooled plate group 321. Under the operation of the water pump 322, the coolant will flow out of the outlet pipe 325 and be transferred to the water-cooled radiator 40 through the connecting pipe 50. The heat will then be transferred to the water-cooled radiator 40 and dissipated through heat exchange between the water-cooled radiator 40 and the external environment, thereby reducing the temperature of the coolant. Finally, the coolant flowing out of the water-cooled radiator 40 will flow back to the water-cooled pump group 32 through the connecting pipe 50 and the water inlet pipe 324. In addition, the coolant inside the water-cooled plate group 321 is circulated and cooled in this way, thereby achieving the effect of dissipating heat from the heating element.

[0038] Furthermore, the motor control board 323 controls the operation of the projection module 33 and can receive external signals, thereby causing the projection module 33 to project the desired image and present it on the projection area 12. It should be noted that the projection module 33 can project dynamic information, visual effects, or images on the projection area 12, thereby achieving an interactive and immersive experience.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Other equivalent variations that utilize the spirit of the present invention should also fall within the scope of the present invention. In addition, the present invention may also have other embodiments not listed here. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art should be able to develop various corresponding changes and modifications based on the present invention. Such corresponding changes and modifications should also fall within the scope of protection of the patent of the present invention.
