Detailed Implementation

[0026] To illustrate the possible application scenarios, technical principles, implementable specific solutions, and achievable objectives and effects of this application in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the listed specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation. The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This application provides a rotating structure and a projection device to solve the problem that the projection device is difficult to maintain a predetermined projection angle stably for a long time. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-3 This application provides a rotating structure, including a housing 1, a base 2, a sliding block 3, and a first connecting member 41. The housing 1 has a sliding groove 11, and the base 2 has a recessed limiting groove 211 on one side, with at least a portion of the housing 1 inserted into the limiting groove 211. The sliding block 3 is slidably disposed within the housing 1, passing through the sliding groove 11, and is plugged into the base 2. The first connecting member 41 is disposed within the base 2 and is fixedly connected to the sliding block 3 to prevent the sliding block 3 from detaching from the base 2.

[0031] By setting a limiting groove 211 on the base 2, at least part of the housing 1 is placed in the limiting groove 211 when the housing 1 is tilted relative to the base 2. This not only helps to improve the stability of the housing 1 during the tilt adjustment process, but also helps to keep the housing 1 stable after the tilt adjustment is completed. The setting of the sliding block 3 and the first connecting member 41 not only helps to prevent the housing 1 from coming out of the limiting groove 211, but also helps to provide resistance to the rotation of the housing 1 by making the sliding block 3 closely abut against the housing 1. This allows the housing 1 to be stably maintained at the predetermined projection angle for a long time after the tilt adjustment is completed, thus solving the problem that the projection device is difficult to maintain at the predetermined projection angle for a long time.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the base 2 includes a base body 21 and a base bottom 22. The base bottom 22 is detachably connected to the side of the base body 21 away from the housing 1. The base bottom 22 and the base body 21 are detachably connected by bolts. The base bottom 22 and the base body 21 define a receiving cavity 23. A first connecting member 41 is disposed in the receiving cavity 23. A limiting groove 211 is recessed in the side of the base body 21 near the housing 1. The side wall of the housing 1 is provided with a first curved surface, and the groove wall of the limiting groove 211 is provided with a second curved surface. The first curved surface is an outwardly convex cylindrical curved surface, and the second curved surface is an inwardly concave cylindrical curved surface. The diameter of the second curved surface is slightly larger than the diameter of the first curved surface, so that when part of the housing 1 is placed in the limiting groove 211, the housing 1 can rotate relative to the base 2. A sliding through groove 11 penetrates the side wall of the housing 1 and extends along the side of the housing 1 to limit the sliding of the sliding block 3 relative to the housing 1.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding block 3 includes a damping part 31 and a first connecting part 32. A third curved surface is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1, and a fourth curved surface is provided on the side of the damping part 31 near the inner wall of the housing 1. Both the third and fourth curved surfaces are cylindrical surfaces, allowing the sliding block 3 to slide relative to the housing 1 when the housing 1 rotates relative to the base 2. The first connecting part 32 is integrally formed on the side of the damping part 31 near the housing 1, passes through the sliding groove 11, and is inserted into the base 2. A first connecting member 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting part 32 inserted into the base 2, thus fixing the sliding block 3 to the base 2. In this embodiment, the first connecting member 41 is a flange bolt, and a bolt hole is provided at the end of the first connecting part 32 away from the damping part 31. The first connecting member 41 penetrates the base 2 and is threadedly engaged with the bolt hole. In another embodiment of this application, the first connecting part 32 penetrates the base 2, and the first connecting member 41 is threadedly engaged with the bolt hole. During the process of sliding block 3 disengaging from base 2, the head of the first connector 41 abuts against base 2 to restrict sliding block 3 from disengaging from base 2.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the rotating structure further includes a rolling element 5. A receiving groove 311 is provided on the side of the damping part 31 near the housing 1. The rolling element 5 is housed within the receiving groove 311, and abuts against the groove wall of the receiving groove 311 and the housing 1. In this embodiment, the rolling element 5 is a needle roller. Two receiving grooves 311 are provided, each located at one end of the length of the damping part 31. Two rolling elements 5 are housed within their respective receiving grooves 311. The use of needle rollers helps reduce the resistance when the sliding block 3 slides relative to the housing 1, optimizing the damping feel when the sliding block 3 slides relative to the housing 1.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-3 In addition, in this embodiment, the rotating structure also includes a magnetic attractor 26. A reinforcing groove 12 is formed on the inner wall of the housing 1, and a reinforcing member 13 is placed inside the reinforcing groove 12. The reinforcing member 13 is made of ferromagnetic material. A fixing member 24 is integrally formed on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 23. A fixing groove is formed on the fixing member 24, and the magnetic attractor 26 is housed in the fixing groove to attract the reinforcing member 13. The magnetic attraction between the magnetic attractor 26 and the reinforcing member 13 helps to improve the stability of the connection between the housing 1 and the base 2 while ensuring that the housing 1 can rotate relative to the base 2, and prevents the housing 1 from detaching from the base 2.

[0036] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In another embodiment of this application, the damping part 31 has two sliding strips 312 integrally formed on the side near the housing 1. The two sliding strips 312 are respectively disposed at both ends in the width direction of the damping part 31. The sliding strips 312 are made of self-lubricating material and abut against the inner wall of the housing 1. The arrangement of the sliding strips 312 helps to reduce the resistance when the sliding block 3 slides relative to the housing 1 and optimizes the damping feel when the sliding block 3 slides relative to the housing 1.

[0037] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5In another embodiment of this application, the rotating structure further includes a second connecting member 42 and an elastic member 43. The sliding block 3 also includes a second connecting portion 33, which is integrally formed on the side of the damping portion 31 near the housing 1. The second connecting portion 33 penetrates the base 2 and extends into the receiving cavity 23. The second connecting member 42 is connected to one end of the second connecting portion 33 penetrating the base 2. Specifically, the end of the second connecting portion 33 penetrating the base 2 has a threaded hole. The second connecting member 42 is a flange bolt, and the second connecting member 42 is threadedly connected to the second connecting portion 33. The elastic member 43 is a spring, with one end connected to the end of the second connecting member 42 and the other end connected to the base 2. The connection between the second connecting member 42 and the second connecting portion 33 not only helps to limit the sliding block 3 from detaching from the base 2, but also provides pre-pressure to the sliding block 3 through the spring, which helps to optimize the damping feel when the sliding block 3 slides relative to the housing 1.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the sliding block 3 has a first wiring hole 34, and the base 2 has a second wiring hole 27. The openings of the first wiring hole 34 and the second wiring hole 27 are directly opposite each other. The opening of the first wiring hole 34 and the second wiring hole 27 facilitates the connection of electrical components inside the housing 1 and the electrical components inside the base 2 via wires. In another embodiment of this application, the sliding block 3 further includes a wiring section 35, on which a wiring groove 351 is provided. A wire pressing plate 352 is integrally formed on the groove wall of the wiring groove 351, and the wiring groove 351 communicates with the first wiring hole 34. The wiring groove 351 is used to accommodate the wire, and the wire pressing plate 352 is used to restrict the wire from coming out of the wiring groove 351, thereby improving the stability of the wire connection when the housing 1 rotates relative to the base 2.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4In this embodiment, a storage slot 28 is provided at the bottom of the limiting slot 211, and a slide rail 6 is placed inside the storage slot 28. The slide rail 6 abuts against the housing 1. By having the slide rail 6 abut against the housing 1, it is beneficial to reduce the friction when the housing 1 rotates relative to the base 2, and optimize the damping feel when the housing 1 rotates relative to the base 2. In another embodiment of this application, an insert block 61 is integrally formed on the side of the slide rail 6 near the base 2, and an insertion hole 29 is provided at the bottom of the storage slot 28. The insert block 61 and the insertion hole 29 are interference-fitted to improve the stability of the connection between the slide rail 6 and the housing 1. A first slider 62 and a second slider 63 are integrally formed on the side of the slide rail 6 near the housing 1. A heat dissipation groove 14 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1. The first slider 62 abuts against the side wall of the housing 1, and the end of the second slider 63 away from the slide rail 6 extends into the heat dissipation groove 14 and abuts against the bottom of the heat dissipation groove 14. The arrangement of the first slider 62 and the second slider 63 helps to reduce the friction when the housing 1 rotates relative to the base 2, and optimizes the damping feel when the housing 1 rotates relative to the base 2.

[0040] This application also provides a projection device, which includes the rotating structure described above. Since this projection device has the aforementioned rotating structure, it possesses at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the aforementioned rotating structure, which will not be elaborated upon here.
