DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown in one embodiment of the present application, a front housing 1 with a columnar structure and a rear housing 2 with a columnar structure are included. After the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2 are assembled, they are connected on the outer circumferential surface. The rear housing 2 is provided with a limiting groove 21 on the inner circumference of one end close to the front housing 1. The limiting groove 21 accommodates a sealing ring 22. The sealing ring 22 is exposed from the limiting groove 21 and the rear housing 2. The inner circumference of the front housing 1 is provided with a plurality of strip ribs 11. One end of the strip rib 11 is integrally formed with a large threaded seat 111. The other end of the strip rib 11 is integrally formed with a large threaded seat 111. A small threaded seat 112 is integrally formed at the end, and the rear housing 2 is fastened and assembled with the front housing 1 through the cooperation of the first hexagonal countersunk screw 3 and the large threaded seat 111. The sealing ring 22 and the rear housing 2 are both in contact with the front housing 1. A step structure 12 is provided at the projection end of the front housing 1, and a light-transmitting plate 4 is sealed on the step structure 12. The front housing 1 is also provided with a structural baffle 5 on the inner periphery of one end close to the light-transmitting plate 4. The structural baffle 5 is fastened and assembled with the front housing 1 through the cooperation of screws and the small threaded seat 112;

[0042] In one aspect of this embodiment, both the front and rear housings have a columnar structure, and the front and rear housings are smoothly connected at their outer circumferential surfaces after assembly. This not only saves space in the projector housing but also improves its aesthetics through the regular columnar structure. Furthermore, since the front and rear housings are smoothly connected at their outer circumferential surfaces after assembly, the outer edges of the housings are smoothed, making it less likely for the sharp corners of the housings to scratch viewers, thereby improving their safety.

Through the cooperation of the large threaded seat, the first hexagonal countersunk screw, the small threaded seat and the screw, the fastening assembly between the rear shell and the front shell and the fastening assembly between the structural baffle and the front shell can be respectively realized. The strip-shaped ribs can not only enhance the deformation resistance of the front shell, but also the large and small threaded seats at both ends can provide a structural basis for the assembly and fixation of the shell, while reducing the structural cost.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the above embodiment further includes a U-shaped adjustment bracket 6, and a connecting seat 23 is provided on both sides of the rear housing 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, the restrictive effect of the fastening screw on the U-shaped adjustment bracket can increase the damping of the U-shaped adjustment bracket during the angle adjustment process, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy. In addition, after the angle adjustment of the U-shaped adjustment bracket is completed, the position of the U-shaped adjustment bracket can be further limited by tightening the fastening screw.

[0048] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 13 As shown, in the above embodiment, the rear housing 2 is further provided with a card slot 24, a card connector 25 is provided in the card slot 24 for assembly therewith, and the card connector 25 is provided with a threading hole 251;

[0052] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in the above embodiment, the rear housing 2 is further connected to a fixing plate 27 on a side close to the front housing 1, and an L-shaped support platform 28 is integrally formed on the outer surface of the fixing plate 27. The L-shaped support platform 28 is arranged orthogonally to the fixing plate 27, and the L-shaped support platform 28 can be inserted into the front housing 1;

[0053] In this embodiment, the structural design of an integrally formed fixing plate and an L-shaped support platform can provide strong support for the working parts in the projector. It can be accommodated in the front shell without occupying too much internal space, and can also provide a support structure to support the working parts in the front shell.

[0054] like Figures 3 to 5 and Figure 11 、 Figure 12 As shown, in the above embodiment, a lens limiting hole 51 and a mesh structure 52 are provided on the structural baffle 5, and the mesh structure 52 is provided around the lens limiting hole 51. The structural baffle 5 is made of plastic material;
