Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of projectors, in particular to a projector with a front mirror adjustment mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Projectors, essential devices for modern multimedia presentations, are widely used in education, business, home entertainment, and other fields. Traditional reflective projectors require a complex system of mirrors to redirect and project light, resulting in bulky equipment and high material costs. To overcome these issues, direct-projection projectors were designed. By optimizing the optical path and eliminating the mirror assembly, they achieve a more compact design and lower manufacturing costs.

[0003] However, most direct-projection projectors currently on the market use electronic adjustment to adjust the front mirror's angle, using precision drive devices such as servo motors to control the mirror's rotation. While this method allows for precise adjustment of both the light output angle and the projection display angle, it undoubtedly increases product complexity and manufacturing costs, resulting in high product prices and limiting the wider market adoption of direct-projection projectors.
