[0036] First embodiment

[0037] refer to Figure 1 The utility model provides a projector 1, which can project videos or pictures onto a projection cloth. The projection cloth has a larger viewing angle, allowing users to have a better visual experience. Figure 1 The projector 1 is shown as a cube, but the projector 1 can also be in other shapes, for example, the projector 1 is cylindrical, spherical, etc.

[0038] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The projector 1 includes a shell 10 and an atmosphere light 11. The shell 10 is used to install the internal parts of the projector 1. The outer wall of the shell 10 is provided with a sunken strip light groove 101. The atmosphere light 11 is provided in the shell 10. The light generated by the atmosphere light 11 is irradiated to the outside of the shell 10 through the strip light groove 101. The light generated by the atmosphere light 11 illuminates the strip light groove 101 to form a light band. The light band creates a better light effect and brings a better viewing experience. When the projector 1 is working on a horizontal plane, the strip light groove 101 is continuously arranged along the circumference of the shell 10 in the horizontal direction. At this time, the light band formed by the strip light groove 101 is longer and has a better light effect. Alternatively, the strip light groove 101 can also be continuously arranged along the circumference of the shell 10 in the vertical direction, or the strip light groove 101 can also be continuously arranged along the circumference of the shell 10 in an inclined direction.

[0039] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the strip light trough 101 extends to three sides of the shell 10 in the horizontal direction. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the strip light trough 101 is continuously arranged along the circumference of the shell 10 to form a closed annular groove. In this case, the light band is in a ring shape and can illuminate more viewing angles, creating a better atmosphere. Alternatively, there are multiple strip light troughs 101, and the multiple strip light troughs 101 are spaced apart along the circumference of the shell 10. Alternatively, there are multiple strip light troughs 101, and the multiple strip light troughs 101 can be arranged at intervals in the vertical direction or at intervals in the longitudinal direction. In this case, the number of atmosphere lights 11 is consistent with the number of strip light troughs 101, or the number of atmosphere lights 11 can also be single.

[0040] It should be noted that the projector 1 is connected to an external power source so that the atmosphere lamp 11 generates light under the action of electricity. In this case, the projector 1 is provided with at least a circuit board. Alternatively, the projector 1 is provided with a battery to power the atmosphere lamp 11.

[0041] To sum up, in the present application, since the shell 10 is provided with a recessed strip light groove 101, when the light of the atmosphere lamp 11 is irradiated to the outside of the shell 10 through the strip light groove 101, the light of the atmosphere lamp 11 illuminates the strip light groove 101 to form a light strip. The light strip creates a better lighting effect, giving people an immersive feeling.

[0042] Continue to refer Figure 2 At least one of the groove walls on the two opposite sides of the strip light groove 101 is provided with a transition surface 102. Figure 2 It is shown that the groove walls on both sides of the strip light trough 101 are both provided with transition surfaces 102. Of course, one of the groove walls can also be provided with the transition surface 102, while the other groove wall is not provided with the transition surface 102. The transition surface 102 is inclined to the depth direction of the strip light trough 101, so that the radial dimension of the strip light trough 101 gradually increases from the shell 10 toward the outside of the shell 10, and at the same time, the opening size of the strip light trough 101 also gradually increases synchronously, the light projected by the atmosphere lamp 11 becomes more, and the lighting effect atmosphere is better. At the same time, the transition surface 102 extends along the length direction of the strip light trough 101, or the transition surface 102 can also be provided only in a local area. The transition surface 102 can be a slope or a curved surface. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the transition surface 102 can be omitted.

[0043] Continue to refer Figure 2The bottom of the strip light trough 101 is hollowed out or provided with a plurality of light-transmitting holes 103 spaced apart along the circumference of the shell 10. The hollow structure and light-transmitting holes 103 at the bottom of the strip light trough 101 allow the light emitted by the atmosphere lamp 11 to irradiate the outside world. In this solution, an implementation scheme is mainly provided in which the bottom of the strip light trough 101 is provided with a plurality of light-transmitting holes 103. In other solutions, the bottom of the strip light trough 101 can be set as a hollow structure, or the bottom of the strip light trough 101 can be a light-transmitting material, and the light of the atmosphere lamp 11 is irradiated to the outside world through the bottom of the strip light trough 101. The plurality of light-transmitting holes 103 are divided into a plurality of groups, each group includes a plurality of light-transmitting holes 103, and the plurality of groups are spaced apart along the circumference of the shell 10 in the strip light trough 101.
