Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical machines, and in particular to a projection optical machine. Background Art
[0002] The light inside a projection machine typically consists of effective light and stray light. Part of the effective light is used for imaging, while the other part is non-imaging light, which is not needed for imaging. Non-imaging light is separated from the effective light and is absorbed inside the machine and converted into heat. This heat increases the temperature of optical modules such as the light funnel, Fresnel lens, and LCD screen. For fill light needs, fill lights, such as surface-mount LED lamp beads, are also installed inside the machine. When the LED lamp beads are lit, they further exacerbate the rapid temperature increase of the optical module.
[0003] With the development of micro-projector technology, more and more home projectors have entered people's field of vision, and home projectors are also developing in the direction of miniaturization. However, as the size of projectors is getting smaller and smaller, the volume of heat dissipation channels is reduced, resulting in some existing projectors. When working, the temperature of the optical module cannot be quickly dissipated. As the lighting time of the projector increases, some problems will inevitably arise, such as thermal expansion of the fixed glue points causing the optical module parts such as the light funnel, Fresnel lens, and LCD screen to shift from their original positions. As time goes by, the projected image becomes out of focus and increasingly blurred. In severe cases, the equipment may be damaged directly due to the excessive temperature of the optical module.

[0027] Specifically, when the projector light machine is working, the cooling plate 201 dissipates heat for the LED lamp beads 5 in the light funnel 4, and the third fan 901 blows the wind into the module cavity 10 through the guide cavity 902 to dissipate heat for the Fresnel lens and LCD screen in the module cavity 10, which can effectively dissipate heat for the optical module in the shell 1 and improve the service life of the projector light machine.
[0028] An LED lamp bead 5 is provided inside the light funnel 4, and the LED lamp bead 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the refrigeration fin 201.

[0029] Specifically, the heat generated by the LED lamp beads 5 is absorbed by the cooling plate 201, conducted out of the light funnel 4 through the first heat conducting plate 202, and then transferred to the first heat sink 203 through the first heat conducting column 204, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area. The heat is then dissipated by the first fan 205, further improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0030] Two first card slots 6 and a second card slot 7 are provided inside the module cavity 10.
